Will BE q Rush.

Browns VALLEY, Mimi, Dec. %. :
There is every Indication that there will
be an unprecedented rush for the Sisse-
ton reservation land when it is opened,
and it is reasonable that there should be
as the land is elninently desirable for
stock and grain raising, and is nearer to
stock and grain markets than any va
can't land belonging to the United
States. The number of inquiries in

are already located.

s4oo. 900. 600 In silver.

lDavid a. Wells, In Harper's Weekly.]
The treasury Of the United States had
In store on October 1. 1891, 348, 341, 1893 sill
yer dollars; $15. 84S. $40 in the form Ct sub
sidiary silver; silver bars to the value of
$4l. 1928; trade dollars (bars, $685., 260
total, $409, 16l 1926, or, in Iound numbers,
$4OO,0O0.0OO The government furthermore
Is Increasing this immense store by buy ing
seven additional tons OF silver every work
ing-day In the year.
Now what does $500, 900, 900 worth of sill
yer mean? Stated In figures or expressed
In words, 1t conveys to minds as ordinarily
constituted no definite idea other than
that of an incomprehensible something,
endowed with certain potentlalties-pos-
sibly for good, possibly for evil. Yet sill
yer IS physical entity, possessing the pro-
perties OF length, breadth, thickness, ca
pactty to occupy or fill space, and weight.
Let us apply these properties to the $780,
100000, and note some of the results of
such application.
Coined into dollars. the product will
weigh over 22,000,O0O, pounds avoirdupois,
or IL 200 net tons; and IL its movement is
desirable. will necessitate for SO doing the
use OF 1000 railroad freight cars carrying
ii tons each, or 1900 cars carving five
tons each, or $500 two-horse wagons
carrying each two tons.
A cubic inch of pure silver weighs about
03S pound, and a cubic foot about 675
pounds. Hence the $500. 000, 900, If melted
into solid mass, would occupy some 3d.
900 cubic feet. which In turn would make
sold column Of pure silver foot square and
about Ga miles high-the Washington mon
ument being $50 feet. Assuming a load of
100 pounds per man, an army Of 100000
men would De required to carry the mass,
and would make file In close order, so
miles long. occupying 30 hours inl"passing
given point" allowing nothing for halts
or rests.
The treasury counts its silver by weigh
Ing II, which Is the part of wisdom, In view
OF the fact that man counting at the rate
OF 200 dollar pieces per minute, steadily for
eight hours day, Sundays included, would
be kept busy for considerably over IL years
Piled upon one another, the $400, 000, 900
would attain height of 675 miles; and
placed side by side they would carpet a
room fifty feet wide, and nearly "a miles
long.
Great, however.;as is the mass of silver
atpresent In the 'treasure-houses" of the
governmet, 1t is being steadily increased
by the purchase of 100000 additional
ounces every year. or at the rate-as be-
lore stated of seven tons for every work.

Congress meets next Monday. The or
ganization will be accomplished on that
day, and the next day the President will
send in his annual message. But little
Business Of Importance will be transacted,
probably, before the holiday recess, The
size OF their majority is giving the Demo-
Gratis great deal of anxiety, and they
rather wish now that their victory of a
year ago had been less sweeping. Already
there has been developed a sharp differ
ence OF opinion as to what the policy should
be regarding tariff legislation, part OF the
Democrats favoring general tariff meas
ure. while another is In favor Of passing
Few measures to lower the duty on certain
articles like salt aud wool, without at
tempting any general legislation. The
silver question is certain to give much
trouble. The silver advocates of the West
and South are not going to see their hobby
shelved for the benefit of Mr.. Cleyeland's
Presidential boom without making fuss
about 1t. Senator Pugh's letter shows
that. If the Speaker packs the coinage
eommitteewith anttsilyer men or men who
are In favor Of postponing any legislation
on the subject of silver there will be the
biggest kind Of row. The Democrats OF
tne House have got great deal OF rope,
and the chances are that they will per-
form as Democrats generally do under such
circumstances.

The Lewiston Board of Registers de-
cided to make up their lists by canvass

Instead of by personal registration, the
plan adopted by the Portland board. The
result has been row and the resignation
of the Democratic member of the Board.
What the merits of the Democratic COM
plants are we do not know-yery likely 1t
has none but all the difficulty would have
been favoided had the Portland method
been adopted. There are complaints here
that the registration goes ON slowly. but
there has been not the remotest insinua-
tion that there was any unfairness about
1t or that either party was getting an un-
fair advantage.

1t seems that McEnery. the candidate of
the Louisiana lottery. is not quite so sue
cessful in Capturing delegates as he ex-
pected to be. He is ahead, to be sure, but
not so far ahead as his friends expected
him to be at this stage of the canvass.
He still lacks 6S of a majority, and the
anti-lottery people claim that the places
yet to elect delegates are many of them
their stropgholds and that they yet have
chance of beating him. If he wins 1T is
pretty certain that the Democrats will
split with the not impossible result Of elect
ing a Republican Governor.

The questions put by several justices
during the progress of the hearing on the
onstitutionality of the tariff bill indicate
that they take very little stock In the claim
that the bounty clause is unconstitutional
or that the omission of a section from the

commitments have increased. The record
Is not merely .creditable one for Sheriff
Cram and his deputies, but it is a high
tribute to the effectiveness of prohibition

Gov. Hill apparently does net intend to
have his seat-stealing schemes baked by
the courts II be can help it. He has just
ordered special session of the Supreme
Court to be held at Syracuse, and called
Judge Morgan j. O'Brien to preside, and
the superstition is that this move is for the
purpose Of checkmatiDg Judge Kennedy,
who has ordered the election inspectors to
correct the blunders in the returns. These
corrections would operate in favor of the
Republicans, and the general belief is that
JudGe OBrien is expected to do something
to offset them. Nobody any longer has a
doubt that Hill has made up his mind to
steal the Senate. and that he will do it
unless the courts effectually block his way.

A year ago the city of Lowell voted in
favor OF license because prohibition had
failed to extinguish the rum shop and
because it was promised by the high license
advocates that under their system the mum.
Der of rumshops would be restricted within
very narrow limits. According to the
Lowell Courier the result has not proved
satisfactory. 1t has been found just as diff
Guilt restrict, by means of high license. the
rumshops to certain number as 1t was to
to suppress them entirely by prohibition.
Not only have licensed shops fourished
but great many unlicensed shops also.
IL has also been found that high license
was just as corrupting to the officials of
prohibition, and just as prolific in the
creation Of hypocrites. The most notable
difference in the situation under the two
systems Is that while under prohibition the
shops were mostly In out Of the way places
and uuattractive in appearance, under
high license the business has been carried
on openly and under conditions that made
1t attractive and consequently doubly
dangerous. This is a difference certainly
not 10 favor OF high license.

1t is not at all improbable that Sawtelle

1t is not at all improbable that Sawtelle
meant to get within the limits Of the state
OF Maine before he killed his brother. He
was the coolest kind of scoundrel and
probably before he decided to become a
murderer he looked over the whole field,
carefully considering all the conditions
He probably knew that the death penalty
had been abolished in Maine and it is not
at all unlikely that he intended to take that
into account when settling the place of the
murder. Whether he succeeded is another
question. The New Hampshire jury who
heard the case decided that he did not and
that the crime was committed In New
Hampshire. 1t is abundantly evident from
the conflicting confessions Sawtele has
made that his statement is good for nothing,
and If that is all the evidencethere is to pre-
semitic the judges to show that the crime
was committed in Maine it may be safely
predicted that the court will not interfere
with the verdict of the jury.
