NOW AND THEN.
The St Louis Globe-Democrat has
this significant statement in a recent
number:
A seeker after truth about monetary
science, in looking through a musty con
gressional report recently, came upon a
statement which astonished him when
ho read the authority. The report was
made by a silver commission in 1876. It
contained this statement:
"Whenever, under the double stand
ard, there is a variance between the
legal market relations of the metals, the
standard would be practically based on
one metal, and it the cheaper and more
available one. Whenever the legal and
market relations coincide, there would
be quality in the material of the stand
ard, but unity in its value, which would
make it in its all-important feature a
single standard."
The astonishing part of the report is
that two of the five names subscribed to
it are John P. Jones, the present senator
from Nevada, and Richard P. Bland, the
apostle of 16 to 1. MA splendid argu
ment for a single standard," the seeker
characterizes this early declaration of
Senator Jones and Mr. Bland. The
other indoreers of the principle were
Lewis V. Bogy, senator from Missouri,
and Representatives George Willard and
William A. Groesbeck.
Br a new decision of the United States
supreme court, another opportunity for
tax shirking on the part of railroads has
been shut off. For many years it has
been the custom of land grant roads not
to take out patents for lands until the
company was ready to put them on the
market or thought there was an oppor
tunity to dispose of them. The com
panies held that unpatented lands were
not taxable, but in this the supreme
onnrfc doa not asree with them. One
good effect of this decision, in addition
to the revenue derived from taxation,
will be to induce the companies to find
purchasers for the lands who will develop
them. As long as they could be held
without expense the corporation owners
were Willing to hold on and let the lands
increase in value by reason of the grad
ual absorption by settlers of other cheap
homes. Omaha Bee.
Styx,which was subject io violent storms.
When one of these storms came up, it
was thought that some one on board was
evil, and they practiced throwing over
board those they thought to be bad. In
some cases lots were cast to find the more
evil ones. In this sense it was Jonah of
old that was thrown overboard. Thus
we have the story of Jonah, his object,
and bow he was saved. Much merri
ment is made about the whale swallow
ing Jonah. The story does not 6ay such.
When we learn more about whales, we
find they belong to that class of fishes
that are mammalian. They breathe air,
and give birth to, and suckle their young,
and arts filao marsuDial. and have a sack
in which to care for the young. The
sack can exclude the water, and admit
the air, and is the place of the teat.
In the picture writing of theold Aztex

called Aztex. Then the Spanish and the

it makes him melancholy and silent.

December 18, 96, from Manila for home.

Co. K. shall always look upon Lieut C.
W. Jens as our commander, for it was
under him that we made the long, tedious
voyage, endured the hardships and 'pri
vations of the Manila campaign, and took
part in the siege and capture of Manila,
and whatever service we may have done
our country or whatever glory we may
have gained thereby, Lieut. Jens as our
commander is entitled to a full share of
it He is as brave a man as ever heard
the shriek of a shell or the peculiar
whisper of a Manser; a thorough gentle
man and as good an officer as ever drew
a sword. In the latter part of August
he was offered the captaincy of Co. G,
which he refused as he would rather
remain with his own company that he
had gone through the campaign with as
lieutenant than draw the higher salary
and add another bar to his shoulder
straps as captain of another company.
All the sick boys who left Manila
improved wonderfully during the voyage
and we hope to see the rest of our com
rades home again before long.

Secretary Porter seems very loth to
have the fool republicans monkeying
with the contract for the legislative
printing which he made a month or six
weeks before the legislature convened.
In-as-much as Porter is one of the lead
ers in the great Savings & Reform move
ment and the contract was let to a popu
list concern at an advance in prices over
the last session he is not to be blamed
for objecting to a close investigation oi
his method of doing business. A little
probing of this contract reduced the
price of bill titles from 82 per set to 25
cents. Probe it again. Leigh World.
Impeachment charges against Judge
C. R. Scott of Omaha were presented
by Attorney D. W. Van Ettan Friday to
the legislature. Ht says: "If I am
as bad a man as Judge Scott thinks me
to be, I ought to be debarred, and if he
is as bad a man as I know him to be, he
ought not to be on the bench, and I
want the legislature to make investiga
tions." His charges include corruption
in office, extortion, oppression. He is
informed and believes that the judge is
also addicted to the use of intoxicating
liquors, morphine and cocaine.
