Among others he called upon Captain
Crowle, to whom he behaved with sim
gular discc:nment. in such way as
would please the old man. for on
board ship we like a cheerful sailor,
one who takes punishment without
sniveling and bears no malice there
after. A ship Is like a boys school,
where a Hogging wipes out the offense

The captain did not rise from his arm

young man approached him.

NEW COINS FOR FILIPINOS.
Designs Now Under Consideration
by the War Dena rtment.

Designs Now Under Consideration
by the War Depa rtment.
Uncle Sam is not going to provide the
Filipino with new dollars just at the
present time. Congress thought it best
to avoid interfering too radically all
at once with the money of the archi-
pelago, and so directed no change ex-
cept in the smaller pieces-the half
dollar, quarter dollar and dime. These
subsidiary coins, of brand new design,
will soon jingle in the pockets Of the
natives of those distant Pacific islands.
Following out the idea, which is being
applied to pretty nearly everything In
the Philippines at present, that ma
tive industry and talent should be en-
ployed wherever practicable, a young
Filipino artist was engaged to make
the designs. His name In Figueroa, and
he is by no means a novice at the bus
mess, having been educated in Europe.
He is in fact, graduate of the ate
liers of Paris, and the medalions exc
cuted by him at the order Of the Amer
lean government are all most credita-
BILE works of art.
In the design presented herewith the
denomination is one peso, which is the
equivalent of a dollar, but this is more
matter of detail. AS already explain
ed, there will be no dollar, but diverse
and reverse of the subsidiary pieces
will all be of the same patterns. only
differing in size. Also. the dime will
be marked ten centavos the quarter
dollar two centavos," and the half dol
lar fifty centavos.'
There are three designs now In pos
session of the war department, all of
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1902-08-16

them made by Figueroa. 1t is not yet
certain which one will be selected A.
nally, but the choice will probably fall
upon the pattern which has for the OBJ
verse a female figure In a loose robe,
holding a hammer in her right hand
and resting the latter upon an anvil
before her. Her hair is streaming in
the wind and her feet are bare. Be-
hind her, in the distance, is the famous
volcano Of Luzon-the smoking noun
tain not many miles from Manila.
The reverse of this design represents
an American eagle holding branch
or arrows and mounted upon shield
with stars and stripes-the familiar
heraldfc device of the United States.
The words United States of America"
are in raised letters around the edge.
On the diverse, beneath the female
| figure described, Is the word "Filipi-
mas" with the denomination on the op.
posite side Of the rim Of the coin.
In the other two designs the reverse
has always the American eagle, but in
one Of them the shield Is omitted and
there Is wreath in place Of it, with
stars above the bird The stars in each
case are 13 in number. for the original
colonies. In one design the diverse
has a large head merely, in profile,
while in the third pattern there is a
figure of a seated man in breech
cloth, leaning upon an anvil and with
hammer in his right hand, the same
old volcano being seen in the distance,
smoking. Quite possibly certain ele-
ments Of all three designs will be COM
bined in the final choice made by the
war department.
The coin will be minted at Manila.
where a factory will be established for
the purpose. 1t will be a somewhat
costly affair, inasmuch as the estab-
lishment of new mint is no trif1e.
1t requires a small army Of employees
and there must be complete chemical
laboratory under the charge Of an as
sayer, who determines the quantities Of
silver contained in deposits Of bullion.
Besides, there must be an expensive
mechanical plal.t. including big melting
furnaces and machines for rolling, cut
ting and stamping the white metal.
Eventually, as matter Of course
and before many years have passed
millions of dollar pieces will be minted
by this government annually in Ma
nila. Gold, too, will doubtless be coined
as we'll as silver, and this will require
additional machinery, with a larger
force to handle the business. Mean
while the requisite machines and fur
naces for melting and assaying will be
purchased by the war department in
this country and forwarded to the Phil
ippines on one Of our Transports

In Winchester. England, 1t is quite a
common thing to see men fishing
through the street gratings. Under the
High street there flow several streams
which ultimately discharge into the
river Itchen. noted trout stream.
These streams receive the storm and
surface water from the street by means
of the ordinary street grating. The line
Is dropped through and fastened to the
end of stick small enough to go
through the CRATE. When the fish is
hooked, the line and stick are dropped
through the grating, and the fisherman

Honor to Whom Honor is Due.

When trusted Representative of a
State betrays the confidence reposed
in him, betrays the interests of the
State and people, sells his vote and
barriers his honor for filthy lucre,
words fail to measure the depth of his
infamy or the punishment that should
be attached to it. The seal of public
condemnation should be indelibly
stamped upon the act, and the actor
himself held up to the scorn and con-
tempt of honest men.
On the other hand when represent
alive has been faithful to the trust re-
posed in him, has studied the interests
of the State and it's people, and worked
in season and out of season to promote
and safeguard them by timely and
judicious legislation, he deserves well
of his constituents, and no words of
praise are too high and no reward
within their gift too great for such a
faithful servant, or such faithful SER
vice.
For forty years nearly all national
legislation has been in the interests of
the classes and against the Masses.
Amid this vast volume of class legis-
lation whose aim was the centraliza-
ton of wealth in the hands of the few
and theimpoverishment of many, it is
refreshing to find one bill framed and
carried through in the interests of the
people. That one measure is the Irri-
CATION bill passed by Congress during
the session recently closed.
That bill provides for the storage of
the flood waters of the inter-mountain
States to be used in irrigating the
scenic arid lands of those States, thus
converting them into fertile fields to
become the homes of happy, prosper
GUS and contented people. 1t will add
tion of the inter-mountain States, and
perhaps a hundred thousand TO the
population of Nevada. 1t will add
enormously to the wealth of those
States by securing the settlement and
cultivation of lands that otherwise
would be dreary waste.
1t is the most beneficial act passed by
Congress during the last fifty years.
and the credit of it's passage is largely
due to the indefatigable labors of our
Representative in Congress, the Hon.
Francis G. Newlands. He studied the
proposition closely, mastered its every
detail, began campaign of education
among the members of Congress, and
preached the gospel of irrigation in
session and out of session, until victory
crowned his efforts and the passage of
the late irrigation bill became an ac-
complished fact.
Again the Sentinel says: Honor to
whom honor is due, and among the
brave men who worked for that meas
ure there is none more worthy than
our own Representative who worked,
not only for the interests of Nevada,
but the interests of all the inter-moun-
tain States. g. Eureka Sentinel.
