LATEST CONCERNING THE NORTH.
ERN PACIFIC RAILROAD.

We see by the Bismarck Tribune that an
arrangement has been entered into between
the st. Paul & Pacific r. r. Company and
the North Pacific Railroad, whereby tie
latter gains a 50 year lease Of the road bed
and depot OF the former company, between
st. Paul and st. Cloud, doing away with
the necessity for the construction of the
ST. Cloud and Minneapolis line, and en-
aiding the North Pacific Company to use
the funds which would have been required
for the construction of that line, for the ex-
tension of its line from Bismarck to the
Yellowstone. and advertisements are now
out for the grading on this extension.
This gives the Northern Pacific decided
advantages. They now have direct line
to Minneapolis and st. Paul Without the
delay and cost of constructing the same.
and are thus enabled TO arrange for through
rates on the most favorable basis. This
looks like business. and undoubtedly the
Northern Pacific Company will 60 on

THE WHITE ELEPHANT.-WIIA
WILL BECOME Of TT

Now that the new silver dollar has had a
fair chance to demonstrate its worth or its
superiority over gold and greenbacks, we
may be allowed to pause and ask if the
reconciliation OF silver has met the eXpec-
tatiOns of its enthusiastic advocates of a
year ago? 1t will require but little investi-
cation or argument to show that the grand
scheme which was to have been one of the
boldest, as we'll as one Of the most bene-
fetal strokes of financial policy ever de-
vised by American statesmen, has yielded
few if any satisfactory returns, and has
really turned out miserable and disgrace
full failure. Indeed. the very propositions
upon which the act for the coming and le-
CALLING Of the new silver dollar was based,
were manifestly 50 unsound in theory, dis
honest in practice and absurd to all clear
it was matter Of surprise they siIuuid be
seriously entertained, much less earnestly
advocated by such a large number Of prom
inent politicians and pretended states
men.
Now, that millions of the newly coined
.'dollars OF our daddies" have accumulated
and are now boarded up in the vaults of
the Treasury Department at Washington
and elsewhere. and that bankers and bust
ness men generally are .'turning the cold
shoulder" to them at home and abroad.
affords the strongest possible evidence that
the entire scheme was a gigantic blunder.
and the effort to carry it out a contempt
bic failure.
The idea t'.at government can take
ninety cents worth of silver, and, by affix-
ing its stamp upon it, make it worth one
hundred cents. is "A tallacy and absurtiity
only equaled by the theories of fiat money
inflationists. who claim that the govern
ment can manufacture money ad libitun,,
ad mfnitum; and that promises to pay are
perfectly good, even without resources or
good intentions on the part of the govern
mcnt.
1t is strange that such theories, absurd
as they appear on their very face, should
be entertained and advocated by SO many.
otherwise. apparently. intelligent persons,
and that nothing will convince them to the
contrary except practical demonstration

In the reconciliation Of silver. the gov

genius of the present Congress will dispose

Brisbin invested with judicial authority to
try civil officer of the United States. On
the other hand. it Brisbin has been fur
nished by the Interior Department with a
copy of specific charges against Frost, for
the purpose of investigation Or to obtain
any information he may possess relative
thereto, why should he handy them about
or even refer to them except in the dis
charge Of most sacred trust:
Among all the charges against military
officers, preceding the numerous court
martials which have been, from time to
time, held at the various military posts in
Montana. we have not heard of single
instance where copy of such charges
were furnished to civilian but SO sacred
ly are the characters and regulations OF
military officers guarded, even though
public offences may have been committed.
that it is seldom either charges or proceed
ings are made public or permitted to be
nOised abroad or anything, in fact, but the
findings IF the courts allowed to find way
into the public prints. But, per contra.
it appears that United States Indian
agent has no rights that any man is legal
", or in honor. bound to respect. He is.
almost invariable charged with all manner
of crimes before he has fairly entered up
on the duties of his Office, and before he
has gained sufficient experience to be Of
efficient service to the Indians or valuable
officer of the Government, he may consid-
err himself extremely fortunate. if he has
not been uncercmoniously hurled from his
position and ''hOunded'' out of the coun-

Unlike the Herald. the COURIER has

CIV, but we do desire to see the man treat

If he has bs guilty of official miscon-
duet or any crime. he is amenable to the
Interior Department and the civil courts
for his conduct; and. judging from the
steps already taken and the
strong prejudices which appear to possess
the public mind. there is little ground for
experimenting that he will escape the Sc
verest penalty of any law which he may
have violated during his brief official Ca
reer.

and his incarceration in Fort Ellis bas-
ton.
Thus. /! will be seen. the result is more
unfortunate for the statements of ''Galla-

pated. The COURIER admitted that Capt.
Browning would probably remain in

appointed agent. but IT appears that In
spector Bulls did not deem this advisable.
SO he decided to excuse Browning at once.
and remain In charge himself until the ar
rival of Hitler.
Now. with Inspector Bulls In charge Of

attending to his military duties ut Fort
