Yiium mm hiy, J. Co 9. Our correspondent displays consid erable sophistry and ignorance of ele mentary principles, but lie is obviously sin< ere and owes liis misfortunes to giving heed to demagogues and mone tary nincompoops rather than to an innate desire to ask conundrums. We suggest that he go to a book store, pay a dollar or so for an elementary work on political economy, take the book home and study it. Now for his quer ies : First—'The United States govern ment is not good for " most any amount of bonds." The promises of a government arc like the promises of an individual; if he so manages his business that his expenses are less than Lis income, he will always find monied men ready to accept his paper. When he is running in debt each year, his notes are at a discount. It is the same with city, county, State or na tional obligations. The fact that the government of the United States is being so conducted that its bonds find a ready sale does not argue that an in definite issue of its promises to pay will be accepted. The national debt is payable in coin, not in " non-inter est bearing notes." A man who has borrowed SIOO has it not in his power to say: " I will pay this debt by issu ing a ' non-interest bearing note.'" No more can the United States say the same and be honest with its credit- 1 ors. Becond—No; the United States cannot do it. Nor can a man redeem a SI,OOO note with SSOO in gold. But if he is of ordinary business ability he can so use his (500 as to, iu time, pay his SI,OOO note. Third—Value in an article is its power in exchange; when a pair of shoes will exchange lor a load of wood their values are equal. Intrinsic value is not different from any other value and has no meaning iu an economic sense. Intrinsic means genuine, real, not accidental. Gold is universally desired. Both savage and civilized people desire it for ornaments. This gives it an intrinsic utility and tends to increase its value and the demand for it as money further increases its value. Its value does not depend upon necessity. Necessity gives value to articles of food and clothing, but value is given to gold through another class of human desires. The illustra tion of a plank and a drowning man is nonsense. What a drowning man might give for a plank does not meas ure the value of the plank. Its value is not changed by him being in the water. Worth is what a thing will sell for. An article may be worth more to one individual than to an other, its value remaining the same. The statement that " gold has no more intrinsic value than anything else" is not true. Some things like air or sunlight under normal condi tions, have no value at all—they have a utility—an intrinsic utility. The value of gold is more stable than that of other commodities, which is one advantage it has as money. Fourth— Whether the American people are a " set of damphools" is a matter of opinion. We observe thst the immigration routes of the world lead to the United States. Those wbo do not like " the American people" need not come; if they are already here, they are at liberty to move out. Fifth—The United States possesses no " mines of gold, silver, iron and coal." It owns land and possibly these metals are secreted .beneath the' surface but we know of no mines that the Uuited States is operating. It does not" borrow gold from a coun try." It borrows from individuals and its own citizens are owners of a large per cent, of its bonds. Sixth—That depends upon the size of each hold up. Seventh—We give it up. If you can name one please do so; also give the date and title of the legislative act that" manufactured" him. Eighth—This question has no mean ing. " They say any fool can ask ques tions," etc. Lear sir, you are a living, two-legged evidence of the absolute truth of the first half of your proposi tion. THE ELECTION LAWS.— The repeal of the Federal election laws, secured last week, seems to have been brought about without any particular convul sions of politics in any section. The fact is the need of them, if tnere ever was one, has passed away. Even ad mitting that they served a good pur pose in sonic respects, in many others they were an infringement on the con stitutional rights of the States and gave the party in jiower the right to surround polling places with its hench men. THE press of the State are not gen erally satisfied with the doings of the Capitol Commission, and many people will be surprised if everything turns out for the best.

The 1...iii.l ( ill i- tu c.jii ti.e -,-igniurage into rilver d>.liars, During tiie pnrclia«es under the >iiertnan law silver mines were opened, tin? supply increased and as tiie months went by the demand les sened. likewise tiie price. At present silver is worth less in tin markets of the wond than ever before, the aver age price for January being only a lit tle more than fid cent# an ounce. The g' verument paid for this silver all the way iroin 20 to oO per cent, more than this. The silver it has, including the seigniorage, is not sufficient at present prices to pay its silver certificates. In other words it has got no seigniorage, and tiie proposition of the Bland law, to put fiO tents worth of silver into ! coin and put it off on the country as ! $1.29, is based on something that does j not exist—another inflation scheme, | pure and simple. Suppose the miller's toll for grind ing wheat is one-tenth; a farmer takes him 1,000 bushels of wheat worth $1 per bushel; he gives a due bill for SOOO worth of flour. Before the farmer demands the flour, wheat falls in price to 80 cents per bushel; his 1,000 bushels, including the toll, are worth only SBOO. His toll, as an ele ment of value, has gone, but his obli gation to give S9OO worth of flour is out. Is it common honesty for him to sell bran or shorts or saw-dust at the old price of flour and call it grinding the toll? Hardly! Now is a good time to let well enough alone. The Sherman law blunder is remedied. The tariff un certainty is practically determined, in dustry on all lines is reviving, factor ies and mills are starting and the times are pregnant with coming bus iness prosperity. If the agitators and cranks will remain silent a few months longer the country can well defy their maudlin theories. Object Lessons In Court. The story is told of King George 111, of England, that once the Royal Society was debating whether or not a fish placed in a vessel of water would displace more water than it would swallow. Learned papers had been read pro and con. Finally the King suggested that they try the experi ment rather than talk about it. In St. Paul the other day a court was engaged in hearing a suit for personal damages, done by a machine which the plaintiff was operating. The question was, whether the revolu tion of the knives forced the operator's hand from them or toward them. The plaintiff claimed the latter; the de fendant the former. The case had been tried once and heavy damages awarded to the plaintiff. The Supreme Court reversed the judgment on the ground that the suction was not proven. At the second trial there was a laby rinth of evidence on each side, when the defense asked that the jury go and see the machine in operation. It was done and the occular demonstration was so plain that the plaintiff dis missed his suit. Yet at the previous trial the jury had awarded $5,000 damages against the company on a condition of things that was not proven. Such verdicts often happen and are returned largely through sympathy, a few thousaud dollars being a small matter to a corporation and a great help to an injured employe. Such outrageous verdicts are often brought about through the shrewd persist ence of the lawyer, he receiving the major portion of the damages. Then, too, they are often disastrous to bus iness interests. Accidents will happen and the bulk of them are caused through the negligence of the injured party. But this class of verdicts oper ates to discourage investments where the profits of several months may be wiped out by a sympathetic jury through the influence of a contingent fee lawyer. Why This UnrestP It is not the purpose of the STAND ARD to embarrass Gov. McGraw in the discbarge of his duties as he under stands tyem. Neither is it disposed to give no-heed to the suspicions and insinuations of wrong-doing that pre vail. The Administration may be acting from the purest of motives, but why this delay? Why these murmur ings? Why these suspicions and in nuendoes? A respectable portion of the Governor's party press do not in dorse his conduct. The great masses of the people do not become unneces sarily alarmed, but to-day there is un easiness ; there is disquiet; there is a lack of confidence among the honest, intelligent and thinking yeomanry of this State. Why is it? Is it not be cause the man in the Governor's office is a politician instead of an Executive? Gov. McGraw owes it to himself, to his party and to the State to quiet these apprehensions. The people are iin earnest. This child's play costs something. It creates unrest, it con ; sumes time, and it draws the attention | of taxpayers from their regular avoca j tions. The Governor can do himself aud the State no greater service than by at once quieting these appreben | sions and going honestly at work with the capitcl plans. He has played the politician long enough.

HE sold the property on which the town of Everett now stands for flO an acre. The property was transferred to a man named Henry Hewitt, who, within six months, sold it to a syndi cate known as the Everett Land Coru ' j.any for $1;>0 an acre. The remain ! ing 1110 acres were left to the Hatch ; children, but, as Ferguson was their guardian, he had but little difficulty in getting the consent of their mother to allow him to dispose of the property at a good price, The price was about $■2,000. 11 was sold to a brother of Henry Hewitt, hut afterward found its way into the hands of tlie syndicate. \\ hen the eyes of the widow were opened to what had been done she consulted A. P. Worden, an attorney of Seattle, He immediately brought suit in the Circuit Court of Washing ton and it was decided that the prop erty on which the town of Everett now lies must be returned to the wid ow and orphans. The other land could not he recovered, as Ferguson had given her land belonging to liim iu exchange for it. He valued his land at the time of the sale at SBO an acre. The Circuit Court of Appeals affirms this judgment. The appeal was brought by Mrs. Hatch and she had not money to pay for the print ing of the transcript of records. For the first time the application was made to bo permitted to have the transcripts made by typewriter. The request was granted. The decision will net a little sum to Mrs. Hatch and her children. A Suit for 93.000,000. George W. Hunt, the railroad con tractor, has sued the receivers of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company for $5,000,000. The suit was filed Tuesday at Seattle, and is the outcome of what Mr. Hunt calls persecution at the time he was endeavoring to place the bonds of the Oregon & Washing ton Territory road, now the Washing ton <fc Columbia River. Mr. Hunt was the father of this enterprise, and it was bis intention to carry it to com pletion, according to the original plans and specifications. This would have been done had the bonds been sold, and the bonds would have been sold, it is alleged in the complaint, had not Mr. Hunt been hounded and persecu ted by Messrs. Wright, Colby and other Northern Pacific people, in the name of that road. Four times were! the negotiations for the sale of the bonds about to be completed, when the Nortbprn Pacific, by attachment proceedings, caused them to be broken off. The company was enabled to do this because of a debt which Mr. Hunt owed it. Mr. Hunt did not deny the debt, nor attempt to evade it. On the contrary, he claims he had given the railroad company ample security, and there was no reason for them to attach his property, and thereby prevent his disposing of the bonds. Ths com plainant says further that not being satisfied with the action taken in court, the officials of the company caused rumors to be circulated that Mr. Hunt had absconded, while as a matter of fact tbey were aware all the time of his presence. GOT IT IN THE NECK.— On Monday President Cleveland surprised the Sen ate by nominating Senator White, of Louisiana, for Judge of the Supreme Court, in place of Judge Blatchford, of New York. The President had nomi nated two New York lawyers of ac knowledged ability, but neither was personally agreeable to Senator Hill, of New York, and the Republican Senators united with Hill to defeat their confirmation; they were success ful. But the President's third nom inee gives it to them in much the same way that the bottle got the cork. Senator White is a lawyer of marked ability, and an ex-officer in the Con federate army. It is quite probable that this appointment will not be as satisfactory to the Republicans as either of the other two, but it is their reward for seeking to gain a partisan advantage by humiliating the Exec utive. TURKEY COMES TO TIMB.— The Mar tin Kosta affair that so agitated diplo matic circles in 1854 has a counter part in the release of two Americans in prison in northern Syria. Minister A. W. Terrell, at Constantinople, was informed of the arrest of two natural ized Americans after they were in prison about two months, and lie im mediately demanded their liberation. The Porte contended that they were Turkish subjects, and announced its determination to maintain its right to keep them in prison pending their trial for high treason. The United States Minister replied that if they were not released within a given time he would ask the United States gov ernment to send two warships to Is kanderum, with instructions to com pel the authorities to release them, and they were released.

PROGRESS OF THE WILSON BILL IN THE SENATE. FCELIALNR T.RAJ US MI ORATOR MILL ILLS I'RRIIRSLLIIU ON HIE HAWAIIAN (LIIFSTION ITI LLIODILLINU HIE TIT IT KCRI IRE L.U N . From Our K'-mrlHr Orrrvspoiiil.-iit. WASHINGTON, Feh. l'i, IMM. Democrat Senator.- are satisfied with the progress made by the sub commit tee on the Wilson taiill' bill, although they would, of course, have been glad to have had the bill reported to the full Committee this week. However, tire time spent in getting the bill in proper condition is not time lost. Every Democratic member of the Finance Committee, except Senator \ ance, who is away on account of his health, has been in almost constant conference with Senators Jones, Vest and Mills, who compose the sub-com mittee, and when the bill is reported to the full Committee (Senator Jones thinks it will not be later than next Tuesday) it will in reality he ready to be reported to the Senate, as all the changes made will have received the approval of all of the Democrats on the Finance Committee. Sugar seems to be the principle stumbling block, although there are several other articles upon which there are differ ences in opinion. But all of the Democratic Senators agree in saying that the indications all point to a harmonious agreement. It looked early in the week as though Representative Bland's bill for the coinage of the seigpiorage would go through without any serious trouble, but he made several ineffectual at tempts to secure the unanimous con sent necessary in the absence of an order from the Committee on Rules to set a time for closing the debate. The opposition not only refused to consent to set a time to vote, but it notified Mr. Bland that the friends of the hill must make their own quorum when they did vote. Ex-Speaker Reed be came so nagging in his opposition to Mr. Bland's attemp to close the debate that Mr. Hatch, who was in the chair, hatl to call for the Sergeant-at-Arnis before lie could get order. Mr. Bland was thoroughly mad. Representative Bryan, of Nebraska, is going on a tarifr reform and silver speech-making tour. His first speech will be made on the 21st inst. to- the students of the Normal school at Valparaiso, Indiana. The next even ing he is scheduled for a speech at the Chicago Union League banquet. From there he goes to Lincoln, Neb., and then to Denver, where on the 28th inst., he is to speak at the banquet of the Graystone Club on " Tariff Reform and Bimetallism—Not one but both." Senator Gray never poses as an orator. When he lias anything to say lie proceeds in a straightforward, business-like way to say it, and what he says is always carefully and re spectfully listened to. His two-day speech on tho Hawaiian question, this week, was a complete and unbiased history of the relations between this country and the little islands, of which he truly said: "If an earthquake or a convulsion in those southern seas were to swallow them up tomorrow, there would not be, except from feeling of humanity for the loss of life, a ripple on the surface of the world's affairs." It is because of the question involved in one of international morality that this Hawaiian business becomes im portant. Senator Gray's remarks •bout the flag incident are worthy of careful perusal: "A good deal ha* been said about .the hauling down of the American flag In Honolulu. When the American flag is hauled up by the order of a Democratic President it will be hauled up under circum stances that will keep it where it is, until the winds of heaven have beaten it into rags. It will never he hauled up in dishonor. It will never he haul ed up so as to put the great people whose symbol of power and authority it is to the blush. It will never mis represent the magnanimity, the great ness, the courage of the people of the United States, as it did when it was hauled up at the request of this rev olutionary junta in the Hawaiian Islands on the Ist day of February, 1893. What are we to say in con demnation of the President, who un hesitatingly, when he found that a wrong had been done, ordered the flag to be hauled down? The American people will always commend a President who does the right thing and who is not governed by the mere clamor and jingoism that is sought to he injected into this government." The Postoffice department has de clared the Honduras Lottery Company, understood to be the successor of the defunct Louisiana concern, to be fraudulent, and instructed postmasters not to deliver registered mail to it or any of the men known to be connected with it. The issueing of money orders, payable outside of the United States, to the same parties has also been prohibited. President Cleveland has resumed the tri-weekly public receptions at the White House, which a pressure of public business compelled him to temporarily abandon last summer. Representative Boatner, of La., has a substitute for the present civil service law in his mind which he in tends to push in Congress. It does away with life-tenure in office and makes 12 years the longest time any person can remain in office. DKM. ilMtrlN Appointed.

GLOVER INTERVIEWED. LIE t.IVCS to A SPOKANE PAPER KOINE Interesting SEW*. Ihe Spokane /.'■ viev publishes the following: .lames N. Clover returned from Olynipia Wednesday evening to spend the l.rief recess taken hy the Capitol Commission at his home. He will return Monday. Mr. Glover told a re porter that, owing to his peculiar posi tion on the commission, lie did not care to go into the details of its work for publication. " Is it true," Mr. Glover was asked, "that Governor McGraw said once that he 'didn't care a d—ll whether the capital is located at Olympia or not?' " " Vdii have read Commissioner Mc lieavy's letter, haven't you?" lie re plied. " Well, that was a very con servative letter, and tiiat is all i care to say about it. Mr. Mcßeavy is, in my esteem, a good, hard-headed, sensible, conservative man. I have known him for years and his record is a good one." " Do you know what Mr. Mcßeavy's plans for the future are?" j "He is preparing to tight the case !in the courts. Among Mr. Mcßeavy's friends the fact that Mr. McGraw re moved him 'for cause' is taken to j mean that he did so according to a ! section of the State law on page 247 of j the law of 18 ( J3. This provides that the governor may remove appuintel ofliecrs for incompetency, misconduct or malfeasance. Being a general act they claim that it takes precedence, and authorities are cited to prove that the question of cause is oue to be adju dicated by the courts. I presume that Mr. Mcßeavy will make his contest on some of those grounds." " Is there any danger that your own place at ihe table of the commission may some day be occupied by a man with a strange face?" " I do not think the Governor has any though of removing me, if you mean that. Will I resign? 1 haven't arrived at that point yet." Speaking of the governor's insistence that none hut the Ware plans should he chosen, Mr. Glover was positive in his declaration that lie regards Ware as a humbug, to put it mildly. The Governor thinks that Professor Ware is a man of national reputation and should be contiderAl. When asked if there was a deeper motive Mr. Glover said simply: "I don't know." He himself, does not regard any of the plans of Mr. Ware's selection as meritorious enough to justify the commission in selecting it. "We expressly reserved the right when Mr. Ware was called out here," he said, "to exercise our own best judgment in any event. We, that is I do, still reserve the right to be in dependent, as was expressly stated at the time. The money paid to Mr. Ware was a clear waste." "Is there any prospect of a settle ment?" " Positively, I can't tell you. I will know a heap more about it when the time comes." Governor McGraw, when shown the abovo interview uaid ; "I have been refusing to be inter viewed in regard to the Capitol Com mission matter, and propose to stick to t' )at policy. However, I will say that I doubt very seriously that Mr. Glove r made some of the above state ments- A Cook Book Free.

WILSON, Contractor and Builder, Sulphur Springs, Texas, thus speaks of Ayer'a Pills: " Ayer'a Pills are tlie best medicine I ever tried; and, in my judgment, no better general remedy could lie devised. I have used them In my family and recommended them to my friends and employes for more than twenty years. To my certain knowledge, many cases of the following complaints have been completely and Permanently Cured by the use of Ayer'a Pills alone: Third day chills, dumb ague, bilious fever, sick headache, rheumatism, Ilux, dys pepsia, constipation, and hard colds. I know that a moderate use of Ayer'a Pills, continued for a few days or weeks, as the nature of the romplaint r il, would he found an absolute cur« c the disorders I have named above." "I have been selling medicine for eight years, and I ran safely say that Ayer's Pills give better satisfaction than any other Pill I ever sold."—J. J. Perry, Spottsylvania C. H., Va.
