THE Chicago Tribune recently print.
ed several columns of answers to re-
quests for opinions on the silver ques-
ton from citizens of the Western and
Southern States. The general result
was that the bankers and wholesale
merchants were opposed to the further
coinage Of silver dollars, while the
farmers and retail merchants favored
it. The Tribune summed up its own
conclusions thus: " In the South
and West. at least, the people are we'll
satisfied with the silver dollars and
while there is a growing disposition
among some to favor suspension of
the coinage for time. it is plain that
no such results can be brought by ar
bitrary measures enforced without re-
gard to public opinion. The public
mind is apparently in that state where
the people may be persuaded as
measure of prudence to consent to a
suspension of the coinage, or by means
of a war ON silver they may be
aroused to resist every change. The
popular sentiment in regard to the
silver dollar results largely from the
fact that it is the only form of money
beyond the control of the banks The
greenback issue is limited by law 30
$346 ,0OO, 900. Bullion holders Tor In
other words, the banks) control the
gold coinage. The national bank notes
are, of course, entirely in the hands
of the banks. This leaves the silver
dollar as the only form Of money
whose issue is not largely controlled
by the banks or limited by law to q
certain amount. If the coinage of
silver should be suspended there could
be no increase in coin or paper money
except as brought about by the banks.
Although there is q growing belief
that such a suspension would be wise,
there exists strong popular disincli'
nation to give up the only form OF
money whose volue is not regulated
by the banks. The belief is that il
the coinage were once suspended it
would require desperate effort to re-
store, even though the public interests
should urgently demand that step in
the future. The methods and tactics
adopted by the monometallists in the
previous war on silver are not for
gotten. In this situation only prudent
and moderate measures stand any
chance of success, and even these can
not be carried by arbitrary methods" 4"

1t is the testimony of Superintendent
Cravens of the southern Dakota insane
hospital and of Superintendent Archi.
bald of the northern insane hospital,
that both these public institutions are
crowded beyond their capacity. No new
patient can be received into either in
stitution without the discharge of q
pntiiontt tto make room for tho new coriaTT.
1t is not always practicable to create
vacancies by this process without
lnhicting hardship, but it IS the only
alternative offered the two superinten-
dents. Applications for places are re-
ceived almost every day and under the
law the superintendents are compelled
to receive all applicants duly certified
by the insanity boards of the respective
counties of Dakota. In ordering the
discharge CT inmates for the rarpose of
selected, because our two hospitals for
the insane are not designed as houses of
refuge for the hopelesslY insane. Yet
the enforced refusal of the territorial
authorities to retain this class of IN
fortunates is hardship which
appeals to the tender sympath!es Of the
public. There is hardly q county in
Dakota which possesses public facilities
for the custody and care of those insane
beyond the hope of relief from treat
ment. Under these circumstances dis
charged lunatics ere thruwn upon their
friends or relatives, if they have any, OF
upon the cold chality of an irfesponsi-
BILE world Even under the most humane
exercise of authority and the best cura
tive efforts our two hospitals are &c
over crowded that cases cannot receive
the care demanded by the delicate con.
dstion of the patients.
IT has therefore become the imperative
duty of the incoming Legislature to pro,
vide for the growing necessities of this
department of Chart labor. Dako
ta's two insane hospitals must be en-
larged or their usefulness must be large
ly c,rcumscrlbed. With our constantly
increasing population there comes {
constantly cieasing demand upon tht
facilities now afforded and this demanc
can only be met by that generous re
sponse which the promptipgs OF human
ity will suggest TO every taxpayer.

American courage was put to the cruel
test will not dull the edge of our
nations gratitude towards man who
at that time planted his feet upon the
broad platform of justice and equality
and who has during succeeding

in which he lives. Upon the shores of q
country which he has chosen as his
model In the creation OF better govern
ment for the civilized world Justin Nc
Carthy will receive o heartfelt welcome.
And as he traverses our broad domain
this recognition will herald his progress.
Before boarding the ship which brings
him to our shores he was feted and
teasted by the mobiles OF his land. Here
he will meet with universal acclamation
as the exponent of the abolition of the
last relic of mans inhumanity to man
and the apostle of complete human
liberty. There is pleasurable anticipa-
tion in the knowledge that Justin Mo

will address people who, like his own
people, are deprived of the privilege of
home rule, are the creatures of an arbi-
trary parent government which for
partisan ends denies full liberty to all its
subjects. Yankton will be favored with

we will greet him as one entitled to the
right hand of fellowship IN the noblest
cause upon the pages of history.

Governor Pierce, of Dakota, in the ap-
pointment of George s. Engle, democrat,
as attorney general of the territory de-
clares to his party that he has gone over
to the mugwumpian ranks and has
snuggled up to political power which
would never have made him governor of
this realm. He was appointed by the
most pronounced republican admin; :
tration the country has had since the
days of Grant, under the theory that he
was republican at heart. But like
many of his weak prototypes he has
gone the way of the apostate. Be will
say that it is his duty under democrat
ic administration to conform to demo-
cratic expectations. True republicanism
will hardly recognize the necessity for
any such betrayal of principles. 1t will
conclude, rather, that q thirst for the
honors and emoluments of Office has
absorbed what little political principle
he might have possessed. A stalwart re-
publican of conscientious construction
would have cast his resignation into the
lap of democratic president rathe,
than stultify himself to this extent. This
act on the part of the so-called re-
publican governor of Dakotl
will not disappoint the republican
party of Dakota. He was not theil
choice and could not assume tht
functions OF any Office dependent upoI
the votes of the element which prevails
at the polls in this territory. He ha
long been looked upon as "a politica
adventurer and this last official act vii

Ti,e Watertown Crossine.

Pioneer Press, 26: A very bitter rail-
road war has ragged at Watertown, Dak.
for some time. The Northwestern land
grant extended to the second crossing of
the Sioux river, and the road has been
graded that far, although it has never
been used beyond Watertown. When
the Minneapolis and st. Louis built in
to Watertown it attempted to use the
abandoned roadbed OF the Northwestern,
but was forced to desist by that road,
which then proceeded to tie and iron
the unused portion. The Minneapolis
and st. Louis built a parallel road at a
grade about four feet higher than the
Northwestern. The Manitoba is now
building into Watertown, and on ac-
count of the difference in grade could
not cross the two roads named. This
resulted in bitter controversy, and after
repeated attempts to secure settle
ment, it was declded to leave the matter
to the Dakota railroad commission.
Yesterday the commission met COM
mittee OF the citizens Of Watertown
and one representative from each road
on the disputed right of way and effect.
