Ingersoll doesn't believe that it is
necessary to be an Astor with his $780,
100000, to feel like lord. and we be-
lieve that Ingersoll is right. He says: II
you have got only dollar in the world,
and have gotto spend it, spend it like a
man; spend it like prince, like king!
If you must spend it, spend it as though
it were only dried leaf, and you the
owner of unbounded forests.

The House has passed the bill for
the continuance Of the coinage of 81

much difference whether we have these
coins or not, but it does seem that we
could very easily get along without
them. Their coinage is quite unneces.

1t is queer that, in these northern
Minnesota and Dakota districts from
whence come such tales of want and
restitution, the people don't know 3
good thing when it is showed up to them.
Especially is this the case with the
county authorities and papers. Instead
of admitting that they are in need and
accepting rendered relief with thanks,
they come out with fat denials of the
reports of restitution and reject the
profered aims. The denials of course
are directed by desire to cover up the
suffering want of their people in order
to keep up an unearned reputation for
the state, but, that their course is a
mistaken one, finds sufficient proof in
the fact that their needs will sooner or
later be sure to creep out anyhow. The
authorities, knowing the condition of
their districts, should be prompt in maxi
ing it public, and should not daily with
futile attempts to hide their poverty.
There is always sure to be relief. Cha
city in such instances is always ready
to help, while it oyerlooks the cause.

Not long ago Gov. Merriam heard of
suffering in Kittson County and has
tened to render relief. No sooner had
he done SO, than he received in return,
-whatp A charge Of Doodle! It was
said by the papers Of the district that
he was seeking to buy up Kittson coun-
ty; that he was making charity and
kindness the medium of political pur-
chase; and that he was using his wealth
and that Of his friends to make friends
by the distribution of Doodle in the
guise OF q gift. Seems to US that if we
had to put up with all that Merriam
does, we would rather be anything than
the servant Of people, who would
look upon us always and with an eye

tues ever blind" And 80 we would a

The Preston Republican says that

of Minnesota on an independent ticket.
Don't be too sure. The republicans
haven't got such love for the Fifth dis

The silver Question In a Nutshell

The silver Question In a Nutshell
The great argument against legislation
favorable to silver made by the gold
bugs has been that the presence of sill
yer money in large quantity would have
tendency to repel gold, force it from
circulation and send it to Europe. OF
course, this is all the msrest rot. If the
stamp of the government of the United
States has been sufficient to give value
to mere piece of green paper, it's STAN D
upon silver, which has an intrinsic value
and which could quickly be placed upon
par with gold, would be equally or
more effsctual, and the silver certificates
based on silver would circulate quite as
readily as any other kind of money, as
they do at present. 1t is only by the
treachery of our Wall-street fnanciers
that England, with her single gold stan
dard, is permitted to obstruct the pro-
gress in this country of silver to it's
rightful status. There is, and has been
since 1875, large balance of trade in
favor OF the United States in it's dealings
with foreign countries. How absurd,
then, to assume that those countries
could possibly dictate the character of
cur circulating medium I? If we had
large balances to pay instead of to re-
ceive, there might be some ground for
advancing such theory. But as the
balance of trade is and has been largely
in our favor, we are peculiarly master of
the situation, and we could force silver
to par If we desired to do so far more
readily than greenbacks we're brought up
to an equality with gold. The kilograms
say that Senator John P. Jones has can
vassed the United States Senate and says
that there is large majority in favor OF
legislation favorable to silver, and that

WASHINGTON, January 19.-Solicitor-
General Orlow w. Chapman, of New
York, died this morning at his house in
this city of pneumonia.
His death, following so closely after
that of Walker Blaine, has produced a
deep impression of sorrow here. His
end was peaceful, and he passed away
surrounded by his wife, Attorney Gen.
eral Miller, who had bsen with him
almost constantly during his illness,
Mrs. Miller and DR.. Johnson, the at.
tending physician. He recovered from
an attack Of la grippe and insisted upon
Immediately resuming his duties at his
office. The exposure resulted in a re.
lapse, accompanied by serious complica.
tions in addition to Ia grippe.
The funeral services will be held here
at the late residence of the deceased, to-
morrow, and will be attended by the
President, members of the Cabinet, and
Justices OF the Supreme Court. The
remains will be taken to his home al
Binghampton, New York, for interment.
Chapman was about 66 years of age,
and a long time resident of Binghamp-
ton, where he bore an excellent reputa-
ton as a lawyer. He was appointed
Solicitor. General last May, after the ad-
journment of the Supreme Court, but in
