IS MARRIAGE PoPULAR4

fho Question Answered by . Man Who
Knows What He IL Talking About.
A suspicion seems to DO gaining cur
rency in some quarters that the old, old
bank Of love has failed, says the Bur
1ington FREQ Press. Because here and
there some private brokers' establish
mont has gone under tho people arc be-
ginning to get fidgety, forsooth, about
tho great International banking system
of sentiment.
Nonsenset
And yet, let US see. Marriage is get
ting to be unpopular with tho Mormons
and bigamists. Certainly they are an
unhappy lot, these fellows. We have
never yet met q man who married on
the strength Of divorce, or who had two
or three wives living in different parts
OF tho country, who was really cheer
full and contented individual.
Marriage in moderation is q good
thing, but too much of it-well, too
much Of it is certainly apt to make q
man sneaking, misanthropic, round
shouldcrcd and bald.
Marriage is also getting to be unpop-
ular with those who have had too littlo
of it. Tho bachelors and old maids
don't think much of marriage
ing to their own showing. Neither of
them know any thing about it, of
course, but that don't make any differ
cnce. 1t simply gives tho ill-disposcd
imagination n big swing, and yet old
bachelors and old maids think that thoy
have sort of oracular right to denounco
tho marriage rolation-just as much
right. perhaps, as tho fox has to sit and
look up at grapes soured by distance
Marriage Is also getting to be unpopu-
lar with tho mon who collect statistics
of crime. 1t takes many job out of
their hands, and gives them moro timo
than they relish to rule blank columns
and speculate on tho degeneracy of
primitive institutions.
Finally, marriage is getting to be un-
popular with tho anarchist, tho under
taker, tho black-leg, tho thug, the
cynic, tho hermit and tho man who
would like to SEQ tho world rolling
swiftly down to destruction like big
football. Yes, marriage certainly is an
unpopular institution with some per-
sons, but it is an institution that the
world is going to try to put up with for
little while longer at least.

THE SILVER BILL

The compromise silver bill, which
no doubt will receive the signature of
President Harrison, provides for the
Purchare OF 100000 ounces of silver
each month Eat the market price," or
SO much thereof as may be offered,
to be paid for in certificates redeem
able in coin, either gold or silver at
the option Of the Secretary OF the
Treasury. The bill further provides
that tho Secretary shall cause to be
coined into standard dollars 100000
each month until July /, 1891, "and
utter that time he shall coin Of the
silver bullion purchased under the
provisions Of this Act as much as
MY be necessary to provide for the
redemption of the Treasury notes
herein provided for"
Tn view of the fact that the Treas
ury notes issued under the provisions
OF the Act are redeemable in coin,
either gold or silver at the discretion
OF tho Secretary of the Treasury, and
the further fact that that officer, both
under Democratic as we'll as Republi-
can rule, has used the powers within
his discretion to discriminate against
silver, We hold that under the law in
question the coinge Of silver after
July l, 1891, is discretionary aUith the
Secretary Of the Treasury, for he
alone shall determine how much sill
yer it is necessary" to coin; and IN
the light Of past events it is but
reasonable to suppose that whatever
amount OF such Treasury notes is
presented for redemption will DO re-
deemed in gold coin, thus maintain
ing the single gold standard.
There is another feature Of the bill
to which we object, and that is the
provision which makes the Treasury
notes legal tender in payment OF
all debts, crcept aUlten otherwise er-
1'reSsly stipulated in the contract.
This gives the gold bugs the right to
refuse to recognize the Treasury
notes as legal tender, and to great
extent nulliffes their legal tender
qualities. That the law will have a
tendency to increase the prioe Of
oliver We have no doubt, and that is
well; but that it treats silver as a
merchantaole commodity, instead OF
q precious metal equal with gold at
an established ratio which nothing
but free and unlimited coinage can
accomplish, no one can deny.

People are pretty much the same in
some respects the world .oyer-north,
south, east and west. II you will take
the trouble to journey to the east you
will in every town, hamlet and city-no
matter how prosperous it may behind
the inevitable croaker, who will tell you
that the country is all gone to the devil;
that it's the deadest town he ever saw;
that dollars are scarcer than hens tee tn
and he's going to sell out and go west
where there is a chance to get a living
at least. If you run across a farmer he
will tell you that he is head over heels in
debt and becoming worse off every year.
Journey to the west and it's the same old
story, changed only as locality makes it
so. As a matter of fact, however, there
are prosperous people, worlds of them, in
every portion of Uncle Sans domain as
we'll as those who are meeting with the
reverse order of things. There are some
people who are like n cat-drop them
anywhere and they will light on their
feet. There is no country in which it is
so easy for a nan to drop uponh his feet as
South Dakota.

During the past year nearly a mile of
water pipes has been laid in Kimball con-
Meeting with the artesian well. The ex-
pense. including connections, ETC., has
been nearly s1,Ooa. most Of which has
been paid by private subscription. 1t is
but simple justice that those who have
expended so much for this permanent
improvement to the city should have all
the benefits that the we'll will afford
without e%ncroaching upon the rights of
others. 1t is not far out of the way to
state that for years-ever since the we'll
has been in o~peration-the daily waste
from it has exceeded 10000 barrels, none

If spread around the city will make ten
trees where n grew before and beauti-
full lawns where heretofore has only been
seen a patch of yellow grass. There is
neither sense OF justice in allowing the
we'll to run to waste with nearly full
head on and the outlet at Smiths lumber
yard running a barrel or so a minute
also. With the well practically wide open
and what pressure remains nearly re-
moved by a big opening at the end of the
mains there is not enough force left to
run a barrel of water a day from many
of the private MIGRANTS throughout the
city. Especially is this true of the pipes
recently put in. Ii the outlet at Smiths
lumber yard is left running n stream as
largo at one's finger it is enough to
g...iswer all practical purposes Of q water
ing place and when necessary to let it
run full head it can be done nights when
there is no demand for water for yard
purposes. The same thing may be said
of the well itself. A very small stream
from it will keep the lake in good shape.
and il necessaryit could be turned on
full head atnight. The Summer season
is when property owners want water for
lawn purposes and for garden use. We
trust tiat Mayor Blodgett and his asso-
ciates in municipal afflirs win see that

Every wire fence in the residence por-
ton of the city ought to come down. The
fences are not only unsightly, but they
afford a "catch-all" for tumbling weeds
and other trash and are dangerous nui-
sances in some cases. If a h%igh-spirited
horse happens to get loose from Its stable
it is in constant danger of injury before
being caught, and more than one lady
has had cause to condemn the fences that
have caught and made a rent in her
gown while passing along the sidewalks
which they border. II a fence is 2 neces-
sity and wire only can be used nothing
but a smooth wire should be allowed.
This is a matter that our city fathers
might take up with profit.

AS a number OF township are forming
a farmers alliance, not only in this but
IN surrounding counties, it will be of
interest to know the aims and purposes
of this organization which is destined to
cut no small figure in the affairs of this
nation. Col. John Hickey, of Missouri,
who is now in New York, talking of the
farmers alliance said: II am in a section
where it is in full operation. 1t has
come up like n of those cyclones such
as swept Louisville. Six months ago
there was not a member in my state.
To-day they have an enrolment or over
one-half the voters of my county and
three-fouTths of the voters of the district.
They mean business and l know that
they have reason to come together for
common action. 1 am director of a bank
and take occasion to observe the loans
we make. have found time and again
that loans have been made to farmers on
mortgages to pay their taxes. The
farmers believe that tho railroads and
the corporations and the wealthy men of
the country are not paying their share of
the taxes, when the land will not produce
enough to pay taxes on it. They are
mighty near right too. There is some
thing wrong about it. The Farmers
alliance people have long-headed leader
ship. They select the best men among
themselves as leaders in each county.
Farmers are pretty h%ard-headed and
level-headed old fellows as a rule. 1t is
entirely different from the labor move
ment. In the latter the associated mem
bers were men who got their living by
days wages. They we're subject to temp
tations. Their leaders could be bought if
the price was large enough. You will
iud the farmers combination too strong
for that. Money temptations will not
reach them. Then. too, they know their
power. There are 100000 men in the
United States by the census Of 1880
engaged in farming. There are over
100000 engaged in all pursuits. The
farmers are half the entire voting popu-
lation. They can revolutionize the en-
tire government, executive, Legislative
and judicial. They will capture congress
this fall as sure as fate. The chances
are that the labor interests will be allied
with them in their movement. They are
banded together for political action to
secure greater favor to themselves as a
class in legislation and they have the
votes to get it.
