GOLD AND SILVER IN COLORADO.
Tho figures published by the Rocky
Mountain News, of Denver. showing the
production of precious metals In Colorado
f or the past year. Indicate that the sena

ins; upon silver, under the Impression that
that is the leading interest of Colorado,
are as much behind the times as senators
often are in other matters.
In 1C tho year before the silver panic,
this Impression was sound. Colorado
produced in that year fcn.SiX worth ot
silver, at its commercial value, and but
.539,021 of (old. The energies of the
state had ben mainly devoted to silver
mining and to efforts to sell the products
to tha government, and the rich deposits
of gold had been comparatively ncedected.
The repeal of the Sherman law helped to
turn attention to the more precious metal.

The air Is already full ot political ru
mors, ami the call Issued by the ropullst
county committee for a county comet
tion has brought out qulto a number ot
candidates ho are anxious to Immolate
themselves upon the altar of public duty.
When It comes to looking for office, the
Populists ate not slow to follow the ex
ample of the two parties whose methotls
they affect to despise, but the Populists
sometimes have a way of bringing ou
a very good man. Mr. N. J. Switulsclh,
a prominent Populist und a most excel
lent gentleman, has ben mentioned as
the possible concresslonsl nominee from
tha Second District. a understand ibai
Mr. Swlndsvth has Just, returned from
Europe, where he has studied the labor
question and the silver coinage problem
in all its Intricacies. If this be so, he
ought to be pretty well qualified to till
the office, and it is to be hoped that the
example of tha Pcpulifts will be fallowed
by the other parties and that they win
select none but the best timber In mak
ing their nominations. The country will
be thus well served, no matter which o:

June election.

silver is about the same as In 13)1 but
It has less commercial value. Even at
the same rate, however, lis value would
be stIU below that of the gold, in which
It is claimed that Colorado leads Cali
fornia by three millions cf dollars.
Tha yield of the Cripple Creek mints
advanced month by month from m.44t
in January to t1.000.0ii0 in December, and
it Is believed that they will yield this
year JliOM.ooO In gold, the ore having a
richness undreamed of even in South
Africa,
What Is still more important is that
along with all this wealth the general
manufacturing Industries of Colorado
have grown at an astonishing rate, the
value of the product having Increased
from less than thirty to more than forty
millions in a year and the amount paid
in wages at a corresponding ratio, while
"in purchasing
the wages) was actually Increased greatly
In proportion to the amount of the actual
figures shown."
The News used to talk free silver pretty
loudly Itself, but this Is what it says
now:
"Notwithstanding the predicted calam
ity owing to the demonetization of silver. '
tha production, stimulated by the touch
of gold, bounded upward at an astonish
ing rate."
If these facta could only be driven
Into the heads of Some of our s-mators,
the whole country might share in this
upward bound.

WO.OCO.OiA And yet under a Democratic
adm!nitrs.iicn. in a tinv; tf absolute
peace, we are obliged to so to K'.iroiie to
get money to pay our ordinary runnlmr
expens.-. Whit a contrast to a -vrtain
other period in our history, when some
of these same Democratic financiers, anu
economists were 0?nly trying to destroy
the government, after violating their
official oaths and usins their official posi
tion to so injure the country's credit that
no European banker would lend us a
dollar. Then a Kcpublican administra
tion borrowed from our own peoplo all
the money needed to crush out the re
bellion, and afterward enacted such laws
and Introduced such policies that the
country advanced from the fourth or
fifth place in point of wealth to the Hrst,
as shown by Mulhall's figures.
The people do not setm to be tumbling
over each other In their eaxerncss to
share in Carlisle s "popular" loan, and
President Kruger Is either a diplomat or
a humorist, or both. That is shown cler
ly in his decision to turn Dr. Jameson
over to the British government for trial
and punishment. From a political point
of view nothing could have been more
shrewd. Had he kept the bold knight-errant
at Pretoria and dealt with him
himself, there would surely have been
trouble. Pardon or a light sentence would
have enraged the Boers and endangered
"Oom Paul's" authority, while capital
punishment would have caused the open
revolt of very Outlander, and brought
an irresistible tide of British vengeance
ever the border from the Cape. F.y giv-
lrg up his prisoner the Boer president
avoids both these horns of the dilemma,
and at the same time with grim humor x
Impales the -hated British upon them.
For It is perfectly evident that the Erit
ish will be more perplexed than the Boers
to determine what to do with him.
Dr. Jameson has been freely called a
land pirate, a marauder, and a freebooter.
It Is easy to call names. But no British
court, any more than any American
court, can convict biro of the crimes thus ! P-'"1'." "' before which addresses had

8. S. Gordon, whose views on matters of
finance are always received with respect
by the tax-payers of Astoria, makes a
suggestion which It is to be hoped the
city council will act upon. He believes
that the value of the new warrant issue
would be materially strengthened fcy th,
endorsement on Its face of a statement
specifying from what sources it is pay
able. It will be noticed that Mr. Gordon
supports tho Astorian's position as to
the necessity for legislation of some kino
that will tend to uphold the value ot suet
an Issue, and he Is heartily In accord wit
any scheme that will operate to restore
the credit of city paper. The members
of the council will doubtless agree with
Mr. Gordon's suggestions.
In thanking the police o liciuls anil the
public generally for the commendation
that has been so generously accorded us
for our persistent stand against any re
duction of salaries. the Astorlan desires
to say that It was only doing its obvious
duty, and that it is sufficient satisfaction
to have, by persistent effort, prevented
such a stupid and unjust piece of legislation.

fter a wait of over a week Capitln
Henderson Fquarcd bis sails and made
another start for Melbourne, Off t'ate
Flattery some heavy weather was on
countered, but all went well until tho Mh
Inst., hcn a heavy head sea was "being
bueked Into." The weather locked threat
ening and the order to shorten sail was
Ktven, As the malorltv of the crew
knew nothing at all about working a
ship the mate went forward to show
them what to do and at the same time
help out.
It as Macnus Johnson, one of the best
known shipmasters in California. For
vtars he ran on th sugar boats to Ha
waii and for a Ionic time was oaptaln ot
the Aloha, ljvtterly there has been very
little doing In the Inland trade, and
sooner than remain Idle ashore he took
a position as t'.rst mat on the Golden
Shore. Ho was horn on one of dhe Shet
land Islands, was about V rar of age
md a thorough navigator. He used to
live at Sw Tenth street, and his only rela
tives aro a sister-in-law and two nieces.
The fatality seems a simple matter
when told In cold print, bu to the cap
tain and men left aboard the big srhoonrr
t meant a question of life and death. A
reef was belnir taken In the spanker act I
Johnson as Inytn down the law to the
'Irreen hands" that a reef point was not
Tiade to haul on. but to tie up the sail.
At the time he had one of the reef points
tn his hand, and Just at the moment the
Golden Shore gave a heavy roll anil
Johnson fell. He held on to the rope,
hut a heavy sea that broke aboard car
ried him away.
Th second mate saw the accident and
he ylled " Man overboard:" Captuln
Henderson ran up1 to the wheel, and, put
ting the vessel up In the wind, ordered
a boat lowered. Ilohert PUrson. aod i
vears, a native of the Jorsey Wands, and
lanna Conway, aged 31 years, a native
of Boston, were the only two men In the
erew that knsw anything about handling
boat, and they were ord rvt to man
ber. Before they could get away a sea
ame along, tore the boat out of the
lavlis and neither boat nor men were
ever seen again. Sinee that time the
raptaln. second mate and Japanese stew
ard and cook have worked the esse Into
port. The other four members of the
crew were practically useless, as they
were afraid to go aloft
"it was the most disastrous voyn.r I
have evr rtti. rntd." said t'aptaln Ib n-
lerson yesterday, when the Golden Shore
had come to an anehor off Melrsa wharf.
How Johnson rame to I washed aauy
Is a mystery to n-.e. He was a thorough
'wrr-an and one of the best atbround
fellows I ever met. Some of our crew
were grei hands and he was careful to
explain to them that the reef points were
rot 'to be hauled on. but to tie up In
still. I guess he was illustrating the
story, because he had a ref point in his
hand when he was washed away.
"I saw him plainly In the water, and.
Strang to say. he did not apn'ar to be
swimming, but lay face ilciwnard In the
water. I ordered a boat lowered, and
running aft took tho painter of tha gU
and made it fa.t to the rail. With ihe
oalnter fa.t the tKiat would have been
h :d fast fore and aft. but elthr I'terson
or Conway let It go. and when It was
near the water a wave raug'it It broad
side r.n and not only swept It away, hut
pnlled the davits out of the schooner and
cairb-d away part of the rail.
"The holt turnei over and over several
limes, and finally davits. oat and men
went out of sight. When we had time
to look rot n.l again Mate Johnson was
a'o cnn."
Fro-n that time until the Golden Shore
'eac'-ed Sun Franolseo. Captain Hender
son had been on watrh. Whenever sull
had to be made the wheel was left In
charge of one of the "green hands," ami
the captain und second mate went aloft
to furl or make sail or do any other
necessary worn, when the vessel rearh.-d
port ytaetrday the master looked as
tnougn he rinil not been asleep for
month. His fare was Inflamed by the
wind and sea, and his eyes looked like
two holes burned In a blanket. He Is
not claunte i, however, and after a new
