The Member from Hennepin CountY.
To the Editor of the Globe
In yesterdays paper clearly demonstrated
that outside of the vote given for Washburn
in Hennepin county, he lacked 81 of ma
jority in the district. That is, not counting
the vote in Hennepin county and excluding
the majority vote cast for Donnelly in Ram
sey county, combining the matter exclusively
to the district, independent of Ramsey and
Rennepin counties, Mr. Donnelly leads
Washburn 81 votes. Now, if you add 100
votes TO Donnelly's majority, given to him
in Morrison county and not allowed in the
estimate, he leads MIR. Washburn in the dis
trict s71 majority. If, again, you add the
majority Mr.. Donnelly obtained in Ramsey
county, excluding Hennepin county, he
stands 3,746 majority in the district Now,
bring in the vote in Hennepin county for
Washburn-6 ,333-and Washburn's major
ity, including fraud and everything else, is
1887! Showing that this majority is OBJ
tained, not by vote of the district, but by
the bulldosed vote of Hennepin county alone.
This estimate is based upon the figures
claimed by the Pioneer Press, and they are
very suggestive. When the member from
Hennepin county asks for admission to the
next Congress he will be requested to rise and
explain,

PANAMA, Nov. ia severe earthquake was
felt in Manizales Antioquia, October 18th.
Twelve houses were destroyed, including the

The intelligence of a severe earthquake in
the southern part of the republic is fully

ago that MIR. Hayes, in his annual message to
Congress, will discuss the status of the silver
dollar and declare the impossibility of
placing it in circulation among the people,
at the same time recommending that its
weight and fneness be increased so as to
make it intrinsically worth the same as the
gold dollar. Mr.. Sherman's report, too, was
outlined, and of course his views were the
same.
With the example set them by the two
highest officials in the land, it would have
been surprising if the bankers had pursued
different course. They were absolutely
certain of the sympathy of Sherman and
Hayes, and were reasonably assured of their
corporation, else they would not have dared
to defy the authority of Congress. They
were but acting on the cue given them by
the financial secretary and the chief of the
government-us the language employed
by them for the purpose of degrading the
coinage of the nation. In not single re-
spect have the bankers made an innovation

that, if these officials had striven

the law remonetizing silver, the entire coin
age of the mints would have been absorbed
long ere this. The truth of the matter is
they have striven by dishonest and under
handed means to defeat the purpose of the
act, and now that some of the consequences
of their conduct have become manifest, they
have become alarmed, and seek to avoid the
responsibility. Such fimsy denials in the
face of such overwhelming evidence in re-
buttal, will not satisfy the people. Hayes
and Sherman are guilty of covert rebellion
against the laws. The bankers have but
formulated their ideas into an avowed policy.
This is the long and short of it.

VIII TUE BIyNS UyyTEp

The question is asked, Will the conspira-
cy entered into by the New York banks for
silver demonstration become general
throughout the country? We fear it will.
While conceding that many Of the bankers
in various parts OF the country disapprove
wholly of the movement, they may all be
compelled by force of circumstances to fall
into line. The bankers of New York pos
sess power to coerce them that they will
not be slow to employ if necessary and which
may prove effective. The plan will, no
doubt, be similar to that frequently en-
ployed in the days Of State banks. Whenever
it was necessary to coercs them, the New
York banks made it a business to collect all
the notes Of issue of the recalcitrant banks
and send them forward for redemption. By
this means the banks were frequently re-
quired to redeem half or two thirds of their
entire circulation within few months and
to put stop to this ruinous drain upon
their specie reserve, they were always glad to
submit to the demands of the money power
Of New York.
1t is likely thai these tactics will be tried
in the present instance in case OF refusal
to submit. The law requires that national
bank notes shall be redeemable on demand
in greenhacks. TO meet any possible de-
mand small reserve of greenbacks is now
kept on hand in well-regulated national
banks: but, III case of a run for the redemp-
ton of the notes OF any single bank, this re-
serve would be soon exhausted, and the bank
ers would be put to their trumps to meet the
rush, and might be compelled to allow their
notes to go to protest. Not single bank in
the country, no matter how rich or how we'll
managed, could stand such run. and sooner
than run the risk Of submitting to it., they
might DO induced to do violence to their own
convictions Of right and combine with their
New York and Boston brethren to overthrow
the law and violate the wishes of the people
The remedy for this evil rests with the
people and the honest bankers. They must
fight the combination by a counter-combi-
nation. No other course is open. If the
New York clearing house is permitted to
triumph-to trample upon the law of the
land at pleasare-it will require no prophet
to foretell the early overthrow of the repub-
lic The conflict with that corporation will
inevitably be prolonged and desperate
one, but it mus5 be fought, and the sooner
the better. A financial rebellion is fraught
with as much danger as an armed rebellion,
and this one in particular is menacinu tn orr
life because of the active sympathy of the
financial head of the government with the
conspirators. Honest bankers must combine
to defeat the scheme of the New York mo-
nopollsts, or be content to forever remain
their obedienL slaves.

WoRTHINaToN, Mimi, Nov. 19.-An article
which appeared in the second edition of

toxicating liquors, needs that few words

as temperance man, but those here who
have known him for several years, know
that While he claims to be such, that he is
one OF the greatest hypocrites in this moral
village. Aye, it is claimed by many here
that he has sold more intoxicating liquor
than any other person ever sold in Mobiles
county, and many boldly assert that he has
sold more than all others combined, and that
his whole opposition to the opening of
saloon here is caused by jealousy, fearing
some other party may sell more Of the mis-
cradle fluid than himself. After speaking of
a justice of the peace in the manner which
he did it is not to be supposed that he would
be honorable enough to tell the readers of
the Dispatch that Jones was tried and con
victed before the justice without Jury, and
was by the same justice fined $4,000 and
costs, and that this fine is all the county
has received from the violators of the law;
neither does he remark (which he might do
with more truth than is contained in some
particulars OF his article) that Mobiles county
had been put to an expense of more than
$500 to crush out the sale of Intoxicating
liquors in saloon.
Neither does he say that the subscription
paper to which he alludes contain the names

HAYES And SIBERIAN IRRESPONSIBLE.
John Sherman is reported to have dis
claimed on his own and Mr.. Hayes behalf,
any sympathy with or responsibility for the
bankers conspiracy for the demonstration
of the silver dollar. Yet the fact is that
Sherman and Hayes are directly responsible.
and will be held accountable by the people
for this blow ct the national credit and the
money of the people. Is any one is foolish
enough to suppose for an instant that the
banks would have had the temerity to adopt
the policy they have determined upon if
they had not been assured o. the sympathy of
the President and secretary of the treasury?
The idea is simply absurd.
Examine the official acts of these two
worthless, and see whether or not they are
responsible for this latest step toward ma
tional dishonor. When it was suggested
first to restore the legal tender property of
silver, Mr.. Hayes and Mr.. Sherman both
took an active part to prevent the consum-
nation of the scheme. They used their
personal and official influence among mem
bers of Congress against the bill when pend
ing, and after its passage Mr.. Hayes opposed
his veto to prevent its becoming law.
When Congress, in obedience to the express
ed will of the people, passed the bill over
the veto, both of these functionaries inaugu
rated a systematic plan to degrade the value
OF the coin and bring it into disrepute. While
the people were clamoring for dollars with
which to transact business, Sherman placed
every obstacle in his power in the way of
their circulation. He doled them out with
misery hand only when compelled to do
50, and used every endeavor to accumulate
hoard in the treasury. Finally, when several
millions had accumulated, Sherman declared
officially that the people did not want silver.
and that he could not force it
into circulation, and cited the
tact that the treasury vaults
were full of it. The demand for over twelve
millions of standard silver dollars which fol-
lowed this announcement gave the lie TO his
words. To prevent the issue and in a
measure to defend his assertions, he inter
posed still further obstacles, refusing the de-
mands OF the banks on the ground that the
resumption act would not authorize the ex-
change of silver for greenbacks before the
LIST of January next. In all these transactions
he was backed by MIR. Hayes. Both of them
perambulated the country making speeches
at agricultural fairs and elsewhere, never
letting an opportunity slip to speak con-
of 'the dollar of the DADS Tt

In the matter of the bill of John E. O'Bri-
en-, of 1922 for pumping out Rice street
cistern, the same was reported by the city
engineer, with the statement that it was COW
cred by the final estimate.
Mr.. O'Brien asked to Withdraw the bill.
The city engineer, to whom was referred
protest from John Butler complaining of a
charge of $26.20 against his estimate No. 6
for the construction of the Ninth street sew
er FROM Broadway to Temperance street, re-
ported that the charge was legitimate.
The order of the council to secure proper
drainage on Grove street, by raising the gut
tering three inches at Grove and st. Paul
streets, and to lower it three inches at De-
Bow and Grove streets, was referred to the
city engineer for estimates of cost.
On application of contractor, J. E.

pay over the balance retained, $226O, for
finishing Rice street cistern.

had been torn up more or less during the re-
cent paving of the roadway of the street,
and were being replaced at the pleasure and
according to the notion of each individual
property owner. He believed uniformity
in the pavement or sidewalks was desirable.
and that desirable walks should be laid.
President Rice agreed with these views, and
suggested that immediate action was neces-
sary in the matter.
10 this end Mr.. Becker offered the follow
ing resolution. which was passed:
ReSolped That the attention of the common
council be called to the condition of the side
walks on either side of Jackson street, from
Third to Seventh, and that the council be re-
quested to give the board Of public works the
