Why Coin More Silver. The adsurdity of the policy advocated by those who clamor for free coin- aire of silver at the ratio of sixteen to one Is rltm'insf rated by the simple fact that this Immense quantity of silver faults in silver and only SlOO.tiOO.oOO in uoid. It may be said, too, that the immense quantity of silver money is due io the friend ship of the Republican to' the white metal, The ahsurdity of the position of the free men is further illustrated by the facts that the bank In Leavenwarth as well as all the tanks In the United States are choke-full of silver, and the western banks particularly are depleted ef 11 bills, though the eastern banks, from Washington to Maine, are flooded' with crlsn new $1 bills. This is a strange situation. We prsved the truth of the above yesterday by making application tn one af our lealingand banks for one thousand II bills.

We were informed that they had, in all their assets of nearly 1,000,000, only 150 notes af that denomination re not this fact prsve that their today more silver cyined Urari can be forced into circulation. If flritN true what is the need of coining aunt her silver dollar? Why not one-dollar United Slates notes? Leavenworth Times. Kanias, like Colorado, wants lex hysterics and mure aommen sens.

A proposition comes from Topeka to Judge Thomson that Is certainly a compliment to him and a credit to the county from which he comes. The citv of Topeka ordered the Waterworks Company to extend the mains to a certain territory.

This the company refused to do, and now the city brings suit to have the franchise of the Waterworks Company forfeited. The attorneys of both sides have agreed to have Judge Thomson try the case, and will make a court case of it, leaving the matter entirely to the Judge's construction of the law.
