The “grapevine’’ telegrams whlob
make up two thirds of the postmaster’s
dally aervloe Tor his paper are written
at Denver and mailed for each dale.
They are all based upon future events
announced by the press of tiie country
weeks before hand
As an instance take the postmaster's
paper of yesterday. Five bogus tele-
grams occupy the space of the last two
columns of Its first page The titles
are: —“A fraternal oongress''—“An
Anarchist celebration"—“About a
bishop”—“A oat show”—“the oldest,
couple ” The first and second items
are futures that have been written up
for weeks in the papers of the respect-
ive localities just as the Times has for
a month past advertised the Demlng
irrigation convention. The third
item nearly a column in
length speaks of a eolebration(
the programme of which has
appeared for weeks in (Jatholio journals
and the daily press at Buffalo. The
Oat Show Item only records its dosing
and gives news that was published a
week ago. The last item is another
future that was announced in many
newspapers no less than a month ago,
saying that the aged couple would
celebrate Nov. 8th as the anniversary
of their wedding.
The other part (one third) of the
postmaster’s telegraphic servioeis tele
graphed In skeleton shape, not exceed-
ing five hundred words or eighty lines,
taken from the afternoon papers at
Denver.
This is the whole truth and nothing
but the truth, and if the postmaster i6
trying to deceive his patrons by put-
ting a fresh telegraphic date on these
•‘grapevines’’ he must bear the respon-
sibility.

MEXICAN PESOS (El Pa»o>
The silver ouuoe is gradually gain
ing in value ______
Deming hassoored a success with the
irrigation convention.
Prepare for tariif—for revenue only,
it is sure to come in 1804.
May be Russia will help in conven-
ing the monetary conference.
Before the next presidential elec
tion McKinley will be a free trader.
Did you notice that other Ohioan help
to repeal his own law?
If Russia goes into the market
buy and coin silver, it is hope,d that
that country will be satisfied with less
profit than the United States has made
in three years’ experience
Gov. Hooo may rush into print too
prematurely and too often, bat there
are times when be is right. The so
oalled tramps who are moving in
Hooks deserve sympathy more than
poBiehment.
The public is furnished a very
humiliating scene at Washington.
After silver purchases have stopped
we find that the government officials
are discussing how to make immediate-
ly available the seigniorage consequent
upon the accumulated silver bullion
purchased under the Shermau law.
This seigniorage is the gain or profit
made by the United States in buying
silver bullion at an average rate of les6
than two thirds of its money value as
expressed on the face of the coined
dollar.
We are told that the governmo nt
will make 10:5,000,000, gain out of the
110.000,000 ounoes of silver purohased
under the Sherman law. Do these
otfioials who are making these calcu-
lations ever consider that this profit
comes from the pockets of silver
miners? No, for they are willing to
coin what they oali dishonest dol-
lars solely for the purpose of
utilizing the seigniorage and thereby
increasing the per capita circulation
Thp miners are better off without the
Sherman law, for no other industry
has paid such a high tax to the govern-
ment as the mining industry. Think
of fifty three millions in three years!
Is it not a humiliating speotaole to
see the United States government re-
sume the coinage of silver for the sole
purpose of making its profits available.'1
The actual profit iu this coinage is in
the proportion of one-lhird of the
amount of silver dollars ooined. Never-
theless the government has now de-
cided to go out of this business and no
one should be better pleased than the
silver miner who has been the sole
loser. But the recent orders to cer-
tain mints in the oountry to be pre-
pared to resume the ooinage of silver,
oanuot, under these oiroumstanoes,
bring joy to the silver producer, nor to
the farmer nor the workingman.

Ex-Representative ;Welborn who

The postmaster editor’s jay over Re-
publican election returns will soon
torn to grief when Mr. Cleveland
names his successor for the postofllee.
As the postmaster yesterday de
voted all his editorial space to the
Times, this paper deoided to interest
the public with “Don’t be Deoeived.”

THE LAWYER’S VISION.
A Remarkable Inuthnee of Physical Stifler-
Ini; uml Thmii;ID Transference.
The Popolo Romano relates tho fol-
lowing authentic fact, without giving
more titan the initial of the person to
whom it occurred, a distinguished young
lawyer of literary reputation, who stated
that he could not give the most remote
explanation of it; “Some years since, on
a hot Rummer afternoon, tho Avvocnto
A--, together with his wife and two
children, left their house in Via Quota fit
(1 o’clock precisely for un evening walk.
Ho was in good health and spirits, hut
just as they crossed the street lie was
suddenly seized with a shock through his
whole body, which caused all tho blood
to leave his face and obliged him to sup-
port himself against the wall. His wife
in alarm assisted him to steady himself,
anxiously asking what was tho matter.
“He recovered himself speedily and was
able to continue tho walk, only describ-
ing an unaccountable perturbation and
humming in his ears. The evening
breeze and exercise gradually calmed
and revived him, and he completely re-
gained his usual frame, yhey went to
visit some friends and then rested at a
cafe, when toward half past 11 o clock a
storm which had been gathering began
the first blasts of wind, and they hurried
home. Scarcely arrived indoors, tho
Avvocato A-hurried to remove some
flowerpots from u balcony over tho
street, taking a lamp with him. The
wind extinguished the light, so ho had
to continue his operations in tne dark,
only illuminated now and then by the
lightning flashes. He was just lifting
the last flower vase, an ornamental one,
given him by his mother, when he was
startled by seeing a kind of block veil
waving upward close in front of him,
which, as it rose, assumed a ln^nun form.
“Very much disturbed, lie immediately
related the strange appearance to his
wife, and tho perturbation before expe-
rienced again overcame him, leaving
him unable to sleep all night. Early in
the morning came a telegram from his
brother at Ferrara stating that their
mother had been suddenly seized with
cerebral syncope the previous evening at
ti o'clock and had expired at midnight,
just as the Avvocato A-had seen the
black veil vanish into space.”

Robert James Gordon, a casual, de-
clined to break stone in return for food
and shelter at the Newcastle workhouse,
uml doubtless much to tho surprise of
tho workhouse authorities successfully
resisted tin* proceedings taken against
him for that act of insubordination. Be-
ing called on m the Newcastle police
court to explain bis refusal, Mr. Gordon,
who appears to be an educated man and
is describe! as speaking “logically and
fluently,” asked the bench to consider
what such work meant to a man like
him.
Ilis hands would, he said, become
quite lacerated, and were ho a clerk or a
tailor the result would he that in search-
ing for employment afterward he would
be unable to follow it. In the q^ise of a
shorthand writer, too, he asked how lit'
would be able to write 1J0 words per
minute if his hands were mangled in tile
way they assuredly would be after break-
ing a ton of stone. His chances of gain-
ing work were thus minimized, and he
“submitted respect fully” that accord-
ing to law the master of the workhouse
did not u. <■ any of the discretion which
the regulations directed him to use.
After the magistrates had consulted
together for some time, the chairman
stated that the bench could not agree
upon a decision, and that the defendant;
would thus get the benefit of the oircum-
stance. Personally, he added, he should
certainly have punished him, but his col-
league being of a different opinion they
had concluded to dismiss the case.—Lon-
don News. _______
One Connotation.
On the dock at Tripoli may be seen a
curious collection of articles, i hey rep-
resent import and export taxes and are
sold by the customs officials. The im-
port tax is 8 per cent of the value, and
the export tax is 1 percent. If any one
refuses to pay tho tax. the officials take
possession ot one-eighth of the merchan-
dise.
Some time ago a European foreign
minister visited Tripoli in the service of
his country. He had with him .>00 visit-
ing cards. When a tax was demanded
on” these, he was angry and refused to
pay it. A high official of the govern-
ment was summoned to settle the mattei
lie solemnly confiscated 8 per cent of
the merchandise in question, 24 visiting
cards.
“Very well, keep them,” cried the irate
embassador, “keep them. 1 resign my-
self. 1 shiil’ not be obliged to pay you
a visit of ceremony for 24 years. -
