The Senate has passed for free coin.

to the house, and if the members of that
body have been sufficiently drawn I'M.
der the influences of the silver kings,
it will remain for the president alone to
stamp his seal of dlsapproval. That he
should do this can be seen without go
ing into a study of the question. When
such men as Sherman, Morrill,, Ed
Evarts, Hiscock, Aldrich, Haw-
ley and others of like standing in states
and ability vote and work
against a measure that is supported in
behalf Of the silver men of the West by
such as Plumb, Stewart, Mitchell, Tel
Ter and Jones, it is not difficult to de.
eide as to which course is the safest and
most sound. Those too, who have made
a study of the silver issue, claim and
claim loudly that the passage ola free
coinage act forebodes only evil and no,
good to the business interests of the
country. If the House, therefore, fol-
lows in the footsteps of the silver men
of the Senate, the president will have
an excellent opportunity to show what
he is made of. If he proves himself
courageous enough to stand by the
policy of the treasury department, en-
dorsed by himself as against free coin-
age, all may yet be well for him. If on
the other hand he plays into the hands
of the silver barons, the country will
know what to think.
Minneapolis people are still aroused
over the outrage perpetrated upon their
city by the authorities of St. Paul last
Tuesday evening. Under the guise
of correctors of fraud warrant was
obtained from the United States COM
missioner by gang of St. Paul men,
headed by such as VIM. Pitt Murray,
and a marshal was sent to the Flour
City on the evening mentioned to cause
the arrest of seven census enumerators
and secure the papers in their posses.
sion. He did his work with pistols in
hand, and took the young men at once
to St. Paul, where through the efforts
of prominent Minneapolis men, who it
is claimed, were ill.treated and abused
they were released on bail. Great in
dignation prevails in the outraged city
over the act of their so-called st. Paul
friends, and for a few days excitement
was at a fever heat. The Pioneer Press,
of course, came in for its more than
usual share of roast, and the disgrace
full old sheet is being boycotted by all
the influential men of the town. This
is the story and it reads none too we'll.
Even if fraud had prevailed in Mime
apolis, it was none of St. Paul's bust
ness to interfere. If wrongs existed it
was the duty of the census department
and not of a jealous town, perhaps
equally guilty, to correct them. The
action of the st. Paul citizens cannot
be looked upon as other than uncalled
for and pusilanimous.
We have heard of little scheme to
place Gen. j. H. Baker, the sorehead,
upon the farmers Alliance ticket as a
candidate for Congress against John
Lind. The democrats are then to en-
dorse him. and put up no ticket of their
own. Such a dodge, it is supposed,
will work much to the detriment of the
present representative and make it DIFF
fcult for him to secure an election.
However, these are only the plans and
