PonTlAND's POLITICIANS.

There are rotten boroughs in the
United States. There have been and now
exist infamous conspiracies by which
the public welfare is psostitutsd and
the public purse subjected TO "lust for
office and greed Of gain" New York
furnished an UNANIMOUSLY prominent ex-
ample In the persons of Tweed and the
corrupt gang Who during his reign
picked the pockets Of that city TO the
amount of millions. The corruption Of
the city government Of Washington dur

herd vas used with powerful and stag

Movx6 OFF An OLD LASDMARK.-In

the history of the old structure. Mr..
Frye said: "Yes. sir; that certainly is
an old landmark. Ii was built by Mr..
A. A. Denny for residence, % years

kellY'n Silver BILL.

Washington, Dec. s-Judge Kelley,
speaking of his bill to suspend the coin
age of silver, says: Observation in
Britain and Europe in 1879 convinced
me that the coinage of legal tender sill
yer in this country was calculated to re.
tard an international agreement upon Q
common ratio between silver and gold
and the full recognition of both metals
by the full coinage of both in the mints
of the United States, England, Germany,
and France. That England would have
consented to the suggestions of France
and the United States for the free coin.
age of both metals on the basis of 1515
to in the international conference Of
1880 but for the fact that we were coin.
ing this amount of nominal dollars, I
have no doubt. The Truth Is, Mr.. Cos.
chen, the highest British authority on
this subject, while admitting that the
decentralization of silver by all nations
was an Utopian dream which, if serious
y attempted, would produce universal
disaster, referred to our enormous coin
age as the parachute that would give
stability to the financial status of mono.
metallic nations With the suspension
of our coinage by the adoption of my
bill, it would probably fall, and that
pretty radidly, to 40 pence; bat it would
not stay there long, for England would
not endure the loss of her trade with
India. China. Persia and other countries
which would ensue, and, after having
proudly and defiantly spurned the
appeal of France and the United States.
her suffering capitalists and wage-earners
would compel her to appeal to the United
States, France and Germany to give
them relief by the international estab-
lishnent of bimetalism. No comment
of mine will be required to demonstrate
the fact that the absurd attempt OF
England and Germany to abolish one.

and thus remove the metallic basis of
one half the credits of the world, will dc

The Fruit Of Arrogance


Grand Forks Herald: The city of
Bismarck is just now reaping the fruit
of the arrogance which it has displayed
ever since, by the corrupt collusion of
the capital ring, it became the residence
of the governor of the territory and the
presumptlye seat of government for the
territory. Had the people of that city
acted With reason and prudence, as We
have more than once recommended to it,
they might have disarmed the indigna.
tion of the people, which was not direct.
ed against Bismarck % location for the
capital, but against the corrupt and
nefarlous means BY which it was so de.
clared. But it seemed to be infatuated
with the idea that Mr.. Ordway was
omnipotent in the territory and With the
government at Washington, and chose to
make his battles it's own and to maintain
an attitude of hostility towards the pub.
lie sentiment Of the territory, which was
entirely uncalled for and gratuitsus on
its part. The result is that it has dellber.
ately alienated the good will of the
general public, and repulsed the sym.
pathy of those who had no objection to
Bismarck as the capital, but desired only
to punish the improper conduct of the
men who devised the steal. 1t we may
judge of the results of the recent land
sale, which Was TO have realized $500 600
its people have not now 90 much conf.
dence even in themselves. Whether i,
will or not become the permonent capital
is question surrounded by considerable
doubt. and it would appear to be so re-
sarded at Washington. In Secretary
Ieller's report to congress from the
department of the interior, he recon-
mends the establishment of three Indian
| schools, one of which is to be located in
Dakota. We observe, however. that be
does not recommend the location at the
disputed capital. but at the city ol
Devil's Lake in our Own district. The
