Ed. Grange Adcance:- late cool
spell has delayed seeding, but we are
about done. Our weather prophets pre-
dict a snow storm yet but we expect to
see smiling May as usual. We do not
think there will be as much corn planted
this year as last but regard this as folly,
or corn pays far the best if it is ham
died rightly. Wheat is something like
the sugar with the merchants, they can
always sell it, but make but little. If

departure. lie was foremost in every
work that had a tendency to elevate
mankind; rich in love for the little band
of Baptists he had by persistent labor
kept within the pale Of the church;
strong IN his desire to build up and con-
tinue his work here; in sickness and
trouble a comforter, and ever on the
alert to do good in any capacity. Thus
he endeared himself to this community,
thus he fought the good fight.
TO the people of Red Wing, we COM
mend Rev. Stanley with more than Or
binary pleasure, as sincere, devoted
christian, a firm friend, a representative
any city should be proud to call its own.
WE have before US portion of let
ter Mrs. John Day, Jr., from her hus-
band, dated April l 1th, at "White Swan
opposite Fort Randall" on the Missouri
river about seventy-ive miles from Yank-
ton. They were waiting to cross the
river at that point, going by White river
and Spotted Tail agency. Mr.. Day ex-
pressed no fears in regard to Indians,
merely remarking that they were not so
bad on the Fort Randall side of the riy-
er. The roads were bad IN places, but
were improving every day. He con-
cludes by saying that they expectd
to be at the "Hills" in about two weeks.
Neither Mrs. Day Senior, or Jun
ior, place any confidence in the reports
that have somewhat startled the com.
munity during the past week, neverthe-
less, they await more tidings with a
good deal Of anxiety. The company is
twenty-five men, strong and well armed,
and if all have the vigilance of our
friends from this place they will hard.
ly be surprised by Indians. We
don't believe the Indian is born that will
cliff the hair of John Day.

The Social Evil.
stock.

\ correspondent inquiries Of US why
the men who frequent disreputable
houses are not arrested and punished as
severely as the women, and subjected to
the same humiliation Of exposure? We
cannot answer the question. 1t GER
tainly seems that justice would require
the equal punishment of criminals Of
both sexes, but it is an Anticipated and
still generally current opinion that the
woman who is guilty Of this vice is
more blamable than the man, and it
will be found to be true, we think,
that all the old notions about morality
and sociology are found on correct theo-
ries of social philosophy. Still it is not
right to allow the male offender to es-
cape punishment wholly, and in instan-
ces where he is the Representatives. he
either tempts the virtuous woman astray
or uses violence or deceit to effect her
debauchery, his crime is ten-fold more
heinous, and is deservedly held to be
the blacklist and meanest of which a
man can be guilty. And its enormity is
aggravated by circumstances which
place his victim in his power, more or
less, and make the contamination of her
ruin comparatively safe and convenient
AS to publishing detailed accounts Of
arrests and punishments of lewd charac-
tiers, we are inclined to believe that it
does harm only. The community, it
seems to US, would be better off if the
press abstained wholly from giving pub
lcity to such matters. It is certainly
not necessary for either our own or our
children's welfare that the existence and
prevalence Of such crimes in our midst
should be made known to the general
public. In fact, frequent illusions to
such matters have tendency to make
them familiar, and if familiarity begets
contempt as to sacred things, it no less
overcomes that repugnance which is
naturally felt towards vicious things.
For these reasons we have avoided pub
fishing the account of arrests of fallen
women recently made in Red Wing, and
the only circumstance we have to regret
is that it deprives US Of occasions to
notice the efficiency and vigilance of our
police force.
AS an instance of the evil which is
likely to he effected by such publications,
let any one read the accounts in the St.
Paul papers of the recent arrest Of a
Mrs. Morris, Of this city, who was tried
before U. S. Commissioner Cardozo, in
St. Paul, on Saturday, for selling liquor
without a license. The result was that
the trial elected the fact that the COM
planning witness was guilty of most con.
temptible and puppyish conduct, and
the prisoner was triumphant]y discharg-
d. Thus emboldening her and others
of her ilk to the commission Of fresh Of
fences, and really creating a sort of
sympathy in her favor, notwithstanding
the od;ous reputation she bears. We

The Silver bill occupied the attention OF the
Senate yesterday, and was finally passed with
amendments. An effort was made to have it
brought into the House Immediately after ite
passge By the Senate and to have the amend
ments concurred 10, bat Gen. Banks was max
ing speech on the Hawaiian treaty, thereby
shutting it off, When passed BY the House
the amount appropriated for the Bureau OF
Engraving aud Printing Was $l6300 The
Senate added an amendment adding $4,000
tor the printing of national bank notes. An
other amendment provides for exchanging the
fractional currency as fast as redeemed With
the sinking fund. 1t is estimated that there
are about $50, 100000 out, which is within
S., 900, 900 OF the amount required BY law to
be converted into the sinking fund annually.
It is thought that the bill will pass the House
as amended, with but very little opposition.
The second section of the bill, as adopted,
is as follows: That the Secretary Of the
Treasury is hereby directed to issue silver coins
of the United States of the denomination OF
ten, twenty, twenty FIVE. aud fifty cents of
STANDARD value, in redemption OF an equal
amount of fractional currency, whether the
same now 10 the Treasury awaiting redemption,

whole amount of fractional currency outstaod-
log shall be redeemed, ADD the fractional cur
rency redeemed under this act shall be held to
