Silver. 7
Walsh oa
^ Senator Walsh, said recently,
mg of silver;
1 “The Sherman bill ought never
to have been enacted since it was
simply making an article of mer¬
chandise out of silver.
“Silver has never been fairly
treated as its claims deserved at
the hands of American lawmakers.”
- Mere Mr. Walsh went on to show
why England had to resort to the
gold standard. He said England
i was a great crediting nation—a
nation to which other nations owed
*T$ 10,000,000,ooo. Thus, it was to
l&lgland’H interest to have the single
gold basis.
“I dont know all about finances,”
said Mr. Walsh, “for I «m a plain
: badness man. But I do know that
.between 1837 and 1873 and from
that time to this under the Bland
act the seigniorage in the treasury
is being coined along with gold at
the ratio of 16 to 1.
“England will never consent to
WmetRliam until she is compelled
to do ilb by this county or by inter¬
national agreement with this and
other silver using states. If it were
in my power today 1 would open
the mints to live free coinage of

It Is anneonced that William Wal¬
dorf Astor, Who loses #8,000 a month
on his periodical, The Fall Mall Maga¬
zine, ba« became a British citizen. It is
also announced that certain other of our
American ruling families now in
£&ope have decided that they will
tever return to this country to live.
Tdfir home la in New York, but their
complaint is that New York never does
anything to make life pleasant for these
many milHoued; therefore they won’t
live ia America may mare. Tho princi¬
pal reason they think they are unkindly
treated appears to be that New York
has been vainly trying for years to
make same of them pay their taxes.
This is too bad. Ncw York ought to re¬
mit their taxes for the honor of having
oer American nobility Uvo there. More
than that, it ought to Institute a con¬
stant round of sUawbetry and ice cream
festivals and h ase h a ll in their
honor and invito them free. It ought to
sit np nights thinking of ways to amuse
them and pet then. We owe everything
to cmr millionaires, we do, in this coun¬
try. The only trouble is diet we do not
properly appreciate them. When that
beggarly Battenberg finally makes up
his mind which American millionaire’s
daughter be will marry, and when the
rest of them boy their deer parks and
London booses and get regularly into
the swim with British nobilities and
royalties, perhaps we will think moro of,
them and begin to wake up to the bean
ty and bruine that mu loot to ns forever
more. Maybe they will buy np some
title* of nobility, and then we shall
know and be sure what rare spirits have
vanished from our midst
One thing we are certain of, however,
and that little fact leaves us not wholly
disconsolate. We know they will draw
their tnooey regularly from this coun¬
try. We are still good enough to pay
rents to our millionaires and furnish tho
material for their coupon cutting.
Meantime if eight people do frequently
live in one room In the cities whenco our
noble millionaires derive their revenues,
and if a dozen people are sometimes re¬
ported in one morning paper as having
committed suicide because they cannot
pay rent and have nothing to eat be¬
sides, what does that matter? What
right have they to disturb the good times
of our millionaires abroad by making
such unpleasant items in the morning
papers? And let the Americans stop at
onoo trying to take care of their suffer¬
ing poor tbeee times and go to work and
make the country pleasant for our mil¬
lionaires to live in.
What is cillod the*”Whaleback” line
of freight steamers baa been established
between New York and Tampico, Mex¬
ico. The ships are an adaptation of the
model of the samo name that attracted
attention three years ago Tho first ship
of the new line, the Sagamore, was
built at Sunderland, England She is
registered as a Belgian ship, although
designed torUn in American porta The
leading idea in tho novel construction
of this ship is that she is round backed,
Uke a whale, and very flat, so that seas
can roll over and over her, instead of
washing against her and staving her in.
Her bottom is also round and smooth,
having no keel at all A flnliko strip
running along eaeh style of the bottom
keeps her steady. It is claimed for tho
Sogiunare, and facts thus far bear out
the claim, that she is faster, safer, bolds
more oargo in proportion to her rise and
consumes less coal than the Ordinary
freighter. She is 880 feet long and 88
feet wide, drawing 10 feet « inches
leaded. She has a doable bottom, so if
the first should upon a rock the
other would still be there, three feet
above, to knap her from staking. It
would be strange if tin pattern of ships
that has obtained since before the be¬
ginning of civilisation should in time
be changed to tiM whaleback pattern.
One claim mode for the new model is
—
to
that she is now sound
oouvertad to the true faith of the
, so to speak.

Land ReMtnrcei 1 b Utah,
This territory baa been supposed to be
taSxXy well known, but it ia * fact that
the best part of it has never yet been
opened to settlement. That is bccauso
it was used for Indian reservations. It
is in tbo northeastern part of Utah.
There are two reservations, the Uintah
and the Uncompagbre. Of these there
will be opened to settlement and fit for
agricultural purposes at least 3,000,000
acre*. They aro rich and well watered,
and in the Strawberry valley and other
portions are heavily timbered. In terri¬
tories like those in the west it is usnal
to estimate 60 per omit of the land as fit
for tillage. Tho 2,000,000 acres consti¬
tute 60 per cent of the whole body of
land that will be left after tbo Indians
take their share in severalty. A corre¬
spondent of the St. Louis Globe-Demo¬
crat calls attention to the fact that there
will be no wild boomer rush when the
Utah lands aro opened. Civilization has
at length found a better way to distrib¬
ute the lands, and it was time. The
Uintah and Uncompagbre lands will be
sold by description to the highest bid¬
der at not less than $1.75 an acre.
Town sites will .bo plotted by the gov¬
ernment surveyors beforehand and sold
in lots. Lands that remain unsold after
the bidding is over will be opened for
homestead entry.
The ground that 1 b unsuitable for
fanning is much of it adapted to graz¬
ing. Tremendous crops of alfalfa, two
a year, made in former times the for¬
tune of many a beef raiser in the Mor
mon territory. Now the flush days of
free pasture and free farms are over,
but tho fertility of the soil is still there,
and a dozen people will make comforta¬
ble livings where one became rich be¬
fore, and that is much better.
Beyond a doubt the opening of those
now lands for settlement at the same
time sho conies into tho Union will give
Utah such a boom as few young states
have had. Nobody will grudge it to
her either, for Utah has had an unfor
tunato reputation ever since her history
began, owing to the doings of the Mor¬
mon gentry. Perhaps her good times
will come in a great wave now. - Be¬
sides their agricultural resources the
lands to be thrown open have shown
that they possess at least probability of
concealing good stores of gold and silver
in their mountains and valleys. Coal
and asphalt aro also fonnd.
A Defender of Suicide.
It is to be regretted that a man so
brainy and brilliant as Colonel Ingersoll
comes forward in tho light of defending
a man’s right to take his lifo when it is
no longer agrecablo to him. If be rook
it when it was no longer agreeable to
other people, there would be many more
suicides than there are now.
Colonel Ingersoll says in substance
that, whon a person is overwhelmed
with the misery of this life and cannot
remody it, then the natural thing and
the justifiable thing is for him to get
ont Of life. Quite apart from any theo¬
logical idcaofrhe sacredness of life and
a hereafter, Colonel Ingersoll advocates
a most weak and cowardly doctrine.
There never was a misery so deep; a life
so hopelessly helpless, that there was not
some way ont of the trouble. It sounds
trite to say it, but it ia the absolute fact
that difficulties nobly striven against
give ns a strength that nothing else
will Man would never have discovered
the uso of fire if he had not been oold.
If, when wo are cold, we merely cut
our throats instead of hustling about
and ‘hying to get material to make a
fire, we shall be doing the silliest thing
possible.
No situation is absolutely hope!
80 long os life is left to us we may be
certain that it can yet be 0# aome use to
both ourselves and others. Our task is
to find ont how. f
A lady writing from Italy speaks of
the disposition among the people there
to swindle and cheat travelers. She
says the Italian common people are
oonrtesy itself; that they seem to vie
with one another in the attempt to do
favors to the tourist, but they will
cheat him out of his eyes. They are at
terly consdoncelem in overcharging
him. The limit of their price* is the
