WHOLE SJLLiJ AJSTD RETAIL,
The goldite press of the east
who were cackling so joyfully
over the recent fall in the price
of silver, says the Denver Re
publican, will now be given an
opportunity to tell what they
think about its still more remark
able advance. Just why any
American newspaper should be
pleased with the decline in the
value of one of our principal
products passes our comprehen
sion. If it is a good thing as
it unquestionaly is for wheat
and corn and iron and all other
products of industry to advance
in price, why should it not be
equally good and desirable for
silver to rise in value? The
United States is the largest pro
ducer of silver in the world, and ..
every right-thinking citizen of
this country should be glad to
see it go up as far and as fast as
possible.
According to the Cuero Star
the average jury has mighty lit
tle regard for the fellow in the
grave. The man who has
snatched away his existence has
the call on all the sympathy
there is to be given out, no mat
ter how ruthless the assassina
tion, how many in his household
or out of it were dependent upon
him for sustenance or guidance,
how full of promise the future or
how sweet life may have been to

considerations
with the jury. Intelligence and
I courage are mighty badly need
ed in the jury box.
There are -now more feeble,
emaciatiedandwoe-begone look
ing men pulling themselves about
our streets than havo ever been
seen before. They are pittiful,
looking fellows, to be sure. The
dengue did it.
According to foreign papers
the success of the proposed uni
versity for women iii Tokyo is
now assured. The principal offi
cials and nobles of the empire
are greatly interested in the" pro
ject, and the emperor and em
press have not only used. their-
miiuence m its iavor, but have
contributed a considerable sum
of money toward its endowment.
About 300,000 yen (5175,000)
will be needed to start the institution.
