homestead and pre-emption claims, the same
upon even sections. This was the class OF
settlers Mr.. Kinds sought to protect in his
substitute to the original Hastings d Dakota.
bill, by requiring the Governor to re-eonvey
such lands SO settled on to the United States,
to the end that the settler might then be
enabled to perfect his homestead entries at
the land Office, as provided in the laws OF
the United States.
This provisions, however, of the Kinds
substitute the Legislature did not adopt as
therein presented, but was incorporated IN
modified FORM in the bill which was sub
seuuertly passed and which required the
railroad company to convey such land to the
settler upon the payment of one dollar and
twenty-five cents per acre.
The interior department now stepped in
and decided in favor of the principle con-
tained in the Kinds substitute, thereby
fully yindicating his efforts in behalf of the
poor settler, and resulting, it is to be hoped,
ultimately in securing to him his lands at
the price named without reference to i'm
provements thereon-the benefits of
which should accrue solely to him. At least,
such it is to be hoped, will be the result.
The Hastings & Dakota Railroad company
being in default to the United States, as well
as to the State, it is clearly within the power
of Congress to protect those settlers, who
went on the lands in question, knowing them
to be railroad lands, and who, nevertheless,
made valuable Improvements thereon. This
class of settlers the Kinds substitute pro-
vided should receive their lands at $3.50 per
acre, but this provision the Legislature sub
sequently modified by requiring the com
pany to sell to such settlers at an appraised
value, which should not include the value of
their own improvements. 1t is, however,
competent for Congress to provide that such
settlers shall have theirs at $3.50, which, if
done, would practically be the adoption Of
the substitute offered by the Scott county
member.
AS the interior department has thus win
dicated Mr.. Kinds i'll the one case, it is not
unlikely that Congress will adopt his sug
gestion in the other.
But be this as it may, it is still subject
of congratulation that the old iron-clad
ruling, which SO long held sway at Washing
ton, and which, in holding that the rights of
the road attached Immediately upon the sur
vey, worked manifest injustice in too many
cases, has at length been rescinded. From
the nature of the case, the survey and loca-
tion were really no notice to settlers, prob
ably twenty miles away, and the rule which
held them to such hard conditions, was un-
doubtedly framed in the interest of the cor
Dorations, and not of the people. No one
will regret that it has finally been abolished.

that the fifth section has nothing whatever to
do with the provisions and sale of the new
bonds. It provides for this and no more:
that the secretary of the treasury might for
two years, receive gold on deposit, and issue
gold certificates bearing low rate of inter
est, and that the deposit might be withdrawn
at any time after thirty days. upon ten days
notice, and that 25 per cent should be re-
tanned in the treasury to pay the certificates,
and the residue used to redeem fve-twenty
bonds. I was criticised by this gentleman
for using the words gold and coin as synony-
nous in a public speech; yet to maintain
his argument, he asks that it be believed;
that coin and gold cain are loosely used in
the same sense in different sections of one
of the most important laws of the
United States. Gold certificates were
to issue only upon gold de-
posits, but in the second section the bonds
we're to sell for coin, and in the first section
they were to be redeemable in coin of the
present standard uaIue. The solemn assur-
ance given by that law to the public creditor
was, that the bonds issued under it should be
redeemable in gold and silver, of the weight
and fneness then fixed by law. Upon this
subject have no new opinions to express
In my letter accepting the st. Louis nomi-
nation for Vice-P President said: "Gold and
silver are the real standard of value"
Indeed I would rejoice if our supply of the
precious metals were sufficient for the wants
of our trade and commerce. But we all
know that it is insufficient; and that we may
also have paper currency, and therefore
have opposed the policy of a forced resump-
ton of specie payments, based upon con-
traction, by withdrawing the treasury note
from circulation. The treasury note has
been safe currency, and the people have
had confidence in it, and have not asked for
its redemption. While it is safe currency,
it is also cheap currency in the sense that
it does not represent an interest bearing OBJ
legation of T, the government. In that
respect, and in the respect that it is
a legal tender, it is a better currency than
the national bank note. Because of these

the resumption clause, but also Of the pro
vision that sought to substitute bank note.

Snail 1t render no account to the country?
Capital and labor are employed. Business
is stagnant, and enterprise paralyzed. Alarm
has seized the people. They are threatened
not only with poverty, but with destitution
and want. When an industrious and intel
igent people are found in such state and
condition, it is the dictate of wisdom to seek
and remove the cause. Our country pos
sesses wonderful advantages of soil and eli
mate. Its products include many of the
great and valuable staples which command
the markets of the world. It's mines have
been productive. In such a country, why is
it that the people tremble with alarm as they
contemplate the present and look toward the
FUTURE? The party that seeks to
continue in power should answer that ques-
ton. What answer can be made? Have
the special enactments and the general policy
been for thu few and against the many?
The contract between the United States and
the public creditors has been changed, and
the change has been against the people.
The currency has been changed, but it has
been by contractions, to the hurt of the
debtor classes. The resumption act was
adopted by party vote in Congress, and to
serve party purposes. The great contest
for its repeal was in Ohio, in the fall of
1875. Governor Allen led the movement.
His defeat by Governor Hayes was the de-
feat of repeal. The st. Louis convention
declared in favor of the repeal of the re-
sumption clause, and the Democratic House,
then in session, made the pledge of our
party good and true by passing bill for
such repeal. The Senate was Republican
and refused to concur. That body accepted

yet the Bishop sounds the key note of
the policy of that church, us of all 9th
ers, when he says ''l:berty of thought
within proper Hmits.'' And each
church decides upon what are proper
limits and there is no liberty of thought
beyond that laid down in the creed Of
the church. There is not Bible class
in the United States to-day which in-
vites and permits free discussion of
Bible questions. The moment any one
asks questions or expresses views which
bigotry calls ''unortbodoX, that mo-
ment the silencing of that man begins.
The churches are hopelessly ortho-
dox, and will not hear to any view of
the Bible which IS unorthodox. There

church must stand outside and build Il

SI'TRITUILISH TESTED.


EDITOR ADVANCE: I wish to offer
few thoughts on a few itcn Of All ar
ticle III your paper Of Oct. 81 which is
headed 1.-THE Beautiful Experiences of

article us Il whole should he regarded
and denounced us vile imposition, us
IN insult to the understanding of all
thoughtful men. The common sense
Of all intelligent men must certainly he
outraged by such an absErtity.
The composition Is no doubt of Spir-
itualistic manufacture. This is evil
dent to my mind from the following
considerations, (D the initials and not
the full name is given. This is always
suspicious; ~ it was published III the
Banner of Light, paper not recogniZ-
ed us an Orthodox paper by Orthodox

Orthodox family as praying to God for
his when in the act of doing wrong by
spirit commerce or by consulting the
dead.

tians may have them, and to talk about
the efficacy of prayer lis offered to God
in such cases is sheer absurdity. This
will he evident to the common sense of
any man who looks ut these two things,
first that the God of heaven has most
directly and III the strongest terms for
hidden the consulting of the spirits of
tile dead, and secondly. that the act of
consulting these spirits is IN act of
treason and rebellion against high
heaven. Can any man, ask, who has
the proper use of his senses suppose for
Il minute that prayer offered to God
under such circumstances could he any
thing but an abomination. Again, the
object Of this writer was no doubt to
show that God and the Bible and Chris
tianity sanctions this devilsh dplusion
and the wicked practice of spirit com
merce. But this is 10 new thing. It
is All old trick of the enemy of souls,
