The London Daiiy Ners commenting on the Demo-
cratic stand for honest money in NewYork believes
it impossible that the party can now appeal to the
country upon question of currency and advises
the Democratic leaders from different parts of the
Union to meet and find some points on which they
can unite The trouble with this plan is that
neither party has any longer the power to choose its
battle-ground The issues for the present are already
opened, and, willing unwilling, both contestants
must face them. Besides, the Democratic party has
already gone before the country on the currency
question. The problem is now will it sand by the
hard-money resolutions OF its last National Conven-
tion or involve itself in hopeless ruin and disgrace
by following the apostasy of Pennsylvania ndOhio

The Democratic State Committee of Pennsylvania
and the Democratic candidate for Governor in that
State have both made the blunder If beginning the
campaign with q string of apologies. One tries to
excuse itself for abandoning d" the old Democratic
doctrine of sound and stable currency" by plead
ing the pressure of hard times and The camor OF the
unemployed Tho other tries to persuade the
country that the Erie platform does not mean what
it says. This is bad start. Bold demasogues like
Alien and Cary are better than trcksters who would
delude the people into acting against their con-
yictiOns

The State Canal Board seems doubtful OF its

is not. however, as to their guilt, but whether
the Canal Board Is the proper tribunal to try
them. The frauds in many Instances are so
elaring that severcr measures than either sus-
pension or dismissal are III order.

The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1875-02-11
from House Proceedings, Feb. s.

Mr.. Dawes offered resolution reciting
that VIM. S. King, of Minnesota, temper
arily residing in Washington, had fed to
the Dominion of Canada in order to evade
the service of summons, duly issued by
the Speaker Of the House, commanding
him to appear as witness before the
committee of ways and means in the Pa
cltic Mail investigations; that he was
served with such summons the I'd of Feb
ruary. 1875, in Compton, Canada, and
that he has neglected to appear before
such committee pursuant to such sum
mons. and directing the Speaker to issue
warrant commanding the Sergeant-at-
Arms tc take King in custody wherever
found and bring him before the House to
answer for contempt of its authority.
Several members called attention to the
broad character Of the proposed warrant,
and Mr.. Dawes said it of course only
means to apply to the United States. He
modified the resolution accordingly.
Mr.. Butler Of Massachusetts,, asked
how man could be pronounced in con-
tempt Of the House when not duly sum-
moned, and he could not be so summon
ed outside the jurisdiction of the United
States.
Mr.. Randall reminded Mr. Butter that
in the Andrew, johnson impeachment
case witnesses had been subpnned in
Canada.
Mr.. Butler said they had not been
subpGned, but had been requested to at
tend.
Mr.. Dawes said the Committee of
Ways and Means had expressed no opin-
ion on the question, hut simply brought
the matter to the attention Of the House.
Mr.. kasson explained that a subpoena
had been sent over to Malone, n. Y,
where MIR. King was temporarily residing,
but on hearing the facts he escaped to
Canada. The question was, therefore,
whether such an attempt, successfully
made, to evade the service Of Speaker
summons. was net contempt of the House.
He said that proof was positive that Mr..
King had run away to evadc the process
Of the House.
After some further discussion Mr..
Dawes withdrew the resolution.

SEsArE.-Mr. Ingalls, presented resolu-
lions OF the Kansas Legislature asking an
appropriation by Congress Of one hundred
thousand dollars to aid settlers on the
western frontier to purchase seed, and for
their support during the coming year.
Referred.
Mr.. Bogy presented memorial Of the
St. Louis Chamber of Commerce, in favor Of
opening the southwest pass Of the Missis-
sippi, and demonstrating against the open
ing of the south pass thereof. Referred.
HoUsE.-The House appropriation bill
being taken up, Mr.. Parker offered SUBJ
stitute for the Choctaw claim amend
ment, providing that the amount shall be
invested in bonds and held by the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury in trust for the
Choctaw nation until the individual
claims Of the Indians are audited and GER
of any surplus, to go to the support Of
Choctaw schools and the government, and
no claims Of attorneys, contractors or
claim agents to be recognized or paid.
Mr.. Corning, also member of the In
dian committee, offered substitute SINH
lar in substance to that offered by Mr..
Parker, except that it forbids the pay
ment to any assignee, and requires it to
be made to the individual Indian or his
heirs. He explained the amendment, and
said it had been agreed to by the sub
committee of Indian affairs.
Mr.. Fort objected to all propositions,
chiefly because if there was merit in it, it
should be presented as an independent,
and not as rider to an appropriation
bill, in which shape the most objection
able measures of late years, relating to
Pacific Mail subsidy, had passed, and be-
cause it was for the benefit of attorneys
and spectators. He knew one attorney
who had claim against it Of $4,000
for fees, and there sat man now in the
gallery who had said that within twenty
four hours he had taken stock in it
to the amount of $1,000. In fact it was
nothing but pool and play thing, kicked
about from one end of the avenue to the
other.
Mr.. Parker of Missouri--Give us the
name of that man.
Mr.. Fort--I will give his name when
ever committee IS appointed to investi-
gate the matter, and hope one will be
appointed. l know what | am talking
about, and am not to be frightened by
the gentleman from Missouri {Mr. Par
kerr.
Finally both the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw amendments we're rejected and the
bill then passed.

THE INSANE ASYLUM.
Mr. White moved resolution for appoint
ment OF committee Of three physicians to
visit the Insane Asylum and report the mum.
Der OF idiotic and iDcurable patients who
should be discharged from the asylum. He
said he had information that there were at
least eighty patients who were hopelcsslv ici-
otc. who should lie supported 10y their coun
tes, and whose support now cost the State
SO, 600 year
Mr. Child agreed with Mr. White as
to there being many patients in the asylum
who should not be supported by the State,
but he thought DR.. Bartlett, the superinten-
dent Of the hospital, would furnish the infor-
nation desired more promptly and satisfacto-
rily than committee OF physicians not familiar
with the condition Of the patients.
The resolution was amended in accordance
with Mr. Chiid's suggestion, 50 as to call upon
Dr. Bartlett for the Information required
Mr. Freeman believed some of the patients
alluded to were dangerous, and, If released,
would be difficult subjects to care for. In the
absence Of any other asylum, better suited to
their care, he thought the proper place for
them was in the insane asylum.
The resolution, amended to have the report
made by Drs. Bartlett and Powers. was
adopted
Subsequently a resolution offered by Mr..
Donneily was adopted, which calls for infor-
nation relating TO the number Of patients in
the Asylum who are personally able to sup
port themselves, or have legally responsible
relatives able to support them, or whose rela-
tives are drawing pensions in their name
from the United States government.

Sereeantat-arms Ordway says that he
has now in his hands . complete history
Of the movements Of King since the It'll
of January last. He says that he was in
Iion, N. T., upon that day. and that he
left there for Canada. where he has spent
the most Of his time, though he has re-
peatedly visited the States. He has
come over several times to Ma
lone, a village in northern New
York, where he has brother re-
siding. Ordway says he had several let
tiers from Malone. giving him full infor-
nation as to King movements. He says
that subpoena will be served upon him
by Tuesday next. at the farthest, and he
says that an order Of arrest will follow
the subpoena, and . demand rill b made
on the Canadian government to give him
up should he refuse to obey the sub
p9ena. Ordway says that his office never
made such attempts to catch any man as
it has King. The search after him had
become such matter of notoriety that
he had been almost daily in receipt Of
letters and kilograms from people say
ing that they had seen King. The i'm
possibility Of serving . subpoena BY tele-
graph has made the chase after King a
very warm one. Just the reasons for
knowing that the game was nearly run
down Ordway does not state. He gave
as his positive opinion that the hunt
till be over Tuesday. An order of arrest
can run against him only until the 4th Of
March next.
