Gold Dollars.

From the New York Press.
 The man who asks his friends if they have any gold dollars to sell ought to be able to obtain all he wants. If he is looking for profit it is doubtful if he finds it. The coinage was discontinued in 1889. Present prices range from $1.15 to $35, the latter for the dollar of 1875. Only APO pieces were struck in that year, and the quoted price is for the proof dollar. An nncirculated coin of that year is worth $l0 and fine one $5. Of course, a person would make no mistake in picking up every dollar gold piece in circulation. The total coinage amounted to only 19,499,. 337 pieces. The dates, 1863, 1864 and 1865 are valuable because they are civil war coins. An 1864, uncirculated, is worth $20.

 Seriously.

Washington. March 10.-(Special.) )-Sen- ator Foraker and the other republican members of the Ohio delegation feel pret- ty sore over the Springfield race war but up to this time they have not asked for a congressional investigation. MT. John w. Bockwalter who was once the demo- cratic candidate for governor of Ohio and a prominent and well known public man, is resident of Springfield. He said last night that the outbreak did not surprise him.
 Springfield was a hot bed of abolition in the civil war" said he, and being on the line of an underground railroad to Canada negroes began to settle there and the colony has grown so rapidly since that the blacks now constitute one fourth of the population.

Have Been Well Treated.

'The negroes have been well treated in Springfield since the war, and for that reason they have gradually assumed even more importance than the white people themselves" said Mir. Comstock While there are many negro property owners, who are all law-abiding. a great propor- ton Of the negro population of 10000 does not feel bound to respect the law and customs. The insulting attitude of the negroes toward white people whom they meet on the streets has added to the feeling. I have frequently seen the more lawless blacks deliberately blow cigarette smoke in the faces of respectable white women in the streets when men who were escorting them feared to resent the insult"

While I hesitate to say it, the out break at Sprinfeld seems to be an indi- cation of the race feeling that Is grow ing up over the entire country, which will some day constitute serious nation al problem. In the negro population at Springfield there are many worthy men, but a great lawless element exists which is sufficient to cause strong race feeling in a city only eighty miles from the Ma son and Dixon line"
