BONDS AND MONEY
BY N. r. LAsos, DsFUNEAk SPRINGS

else the lawful power to issue legal
tender paper money for the use and
benefit of the goVernment-the PEG
pie? ~
All the money schemes for addi-
tional currency, so far as they have
any show of passing, are laborious eff
forts to prevent busfness men who
need the money for business pur-
poses from obtaining it on business
principles from the government.
Congress has the entire control
over money, and its quantity. 1t has
stopped the state banks from issuing
paper promises to pay gold under
state law by a tax of 10 per cent, and
it has created fiat legal tender paper
money of its own, and the supreme
court has sustained both propositions.
That places the responsibility upon
congress to supply the paper money,
and gives them the power to do SO,
and yet the business men of this ma
ton are tied like galley slaves to the
national banks.
What excuse can congress offer
for such open and positive neglect of
duty to the honest business interests?
Do business men want gold? l am
sure they are not interested in gold,
but they are interested in a lawful
money to do business with.
The government should not give it
away. 1t can safely deal in state,
county and municipal bonds in a pure
ly business way if congress will per-
nit it to do so; but the government
can not safely promise to pay more
gold Ian there is gold
We can never have public owner
ship until the things which belong to
the government are used in a bust
ness way for the benefit of the gov
eminent
Not dollar should be permitted to
circulate which is lawful to loan but
not lawful to pay the debt borrowed.
A legal tender dollar is lawful to
loan and lawful to pay the debt bor-
rowed, and congress has the lawful
right to make every dollar legal
tender and to proulpit the circulation
of any other kind of dollars.
Increasing the Ioanable dollars, and
decreasing the debt paying dollars, de-
serves public censure; since it is
wholly unnecessary. to do so.
Legal tender fiat paper money is
not delusion, it is not an insane
idea-but it is death to the gambling
fraternity an. those who would profit
by cornering money. You cannot cor
ner nat paper money, but you can
corner gold.
Issuing more promises to pay gold
helps rather, than hinders a money
corner. but fat paper money may be
over-issued.
How to invent a money thermome-
ter whereby congress can test with
reasonable accuracy whether it's pa
per legal tender money is issued in a
sufficient quantity to meet the de-
mands of all legitimate business, and
cannot be- cornered, and yet not over
issued, is a question that have been
trying to solve.
Others may find a better way than
I have; but my plan In a word is
lnls: he treasury should be a clear
ing -ouse for all state, county and
municipal bonds, where they could be
for sale and where all idle
money could apply for the same.

If that is to be the logical effect of
Judge McPherson's decision, then any
corporations which do not care to be
hampered by the courts of the state
in which they are doing business may
simply incorporate under the laws of
another state, and thus become 'for-

cases decided by the federal instead

ALL SORTS.

A well dressed young woman got
on Broadway car going north at
Twenty-third street and handed the
conductor a shiny new half dollar.
Amt you got nickel or dime?''
asked the conductor, but the young
woman only held out her hand for
her change. Reluctantly he handed
her a quarter and two dimes and
then retired to the rear platform,
where he proceeded to bite at the
new coin He wasn't satisfied and
took out his knife and cut at it.
The young woman began to get
embarrassed and when the conductor
entered the car again she stopped him
and said:
IF you are not satisfied take the
fare out of this. and she handed him
a So bill.
Apparently much relieved the con-
ductor gave her the new half dollar
and $4.95 in change, At the next
corner the young woman got OF. A
block up the street the conductor re-
membered that she had not retu ned
to him the change he first gave her.

INLAND TO LEWISTON.
President Graves and Engineer Lup-
fer Go Over Route.

CoLFAX, Wash, July 16.-Ru-
mors are again current in this sec
ton about the probable extension Of
the Spokane & Inland railway to
Lewiston, Idaho, from Colfax during
the coming year. 1t is learned from
reliable authority that the negotia-
lions between the Inland and o. r. &
N. officials for the purchase of the
Moscow branch OF the o. X. & N. have
been permanently abandoned, as the
amount offered by the Inland people
would not be considered, and 1t is
now claimed that the Inland line will
be extended from here through Pull
man and Cotton to Lewiston to cut
into the o. r. & N. territory as much
as possible.
This rumor is given strength by the
fact that President ]. P. Graves and
Engineer Lupfer OF the Inland recent
" made trip by auto from Colfax
to Lewiston over the route that the
proposed extension will follow. They
came to Colfax in the presidents pri-
vate car. to which fiat car bearing
the auto was attached, and left here
Immediately upon arriving without
permitting their destination to be-
come known, and it has just been re-
ported within the last day or two
that they went over the territory
through which it is presumed the
road will run.
1t is generally believed here that
the line to Pullman will follow up
Spring nat along the survey Of the
Whitman County Electric company
for about five miles and will then
cross over the divide to the South
Palouse river some place near AL
bion and will from there parallel the
line of the Moscow branch OF the o.
r. & N. into Pullman, from which
point it will continue south up Dry
Fork to the vicinity of Chambers.
From Chambers it will run over to
Union fat, which it will follow into
Cotton.
From this point there are two
equally feasible routes to Lewiston,
but the one most favored, it is claim
ed, is down Steptoe canyon south
from Cotton until it gets below the
rimrock and from there up the Snake
river. still keeping just under the
rimrock to Lewiston.
The other route is east to Union
town and from there down the Hat
away canyon to the Clearwater and
then down to Lewiston.

its unlawful detention. The defense
came into court and commended that
the warranty deed which Smith pos
