Democracy. the Farmers Alliance or the
Devil broke loose, but three or four of
our Northern States are in anarchy.
Nebraska has two or three governors,
Connecticut one or two, New Hampshire
has passed through revolution and so
on. Ithas become pertinent to inquire
els this North or South America
Have the Anarchists captured the Ship
of State? The November cyclone has
had some peculiar results. They are
not, however. very enjoyable.

ENTERED At POSTOFFICE As SECOND CLASS MATTER
SATURDAY, JANUARY 81, 1891.

That silver coin is a most cumbersome
and inconvenient form of currency. is
proved by every days experience. No
one wishes to be encountered with even
SO small an amount as FIVE dollars to be
used for any purpose other than as s'small
CHANGE" and everybody tries to push it
off on some one else as quickly as posi-
BILE. Everybody pushes off the silver
just SO soon as he can get bills or gold
for it. For large transactions it has no
fitness whatever, it's value is to small
com pared with it's weight. AS a medium
of exchange between distant points, the
cost of transportation and danger from
robbers renders it very undesirable.
The very first symptom of an increase in
the amount in circulation, would be fol-
lowed by boarding of gold that would at
once make the latter scarce commodity.
Free coinage means the flooding of the
country with see-saw currency, which
would enrich the Western silver barons
and rob the poor, who are necessarily
the great users Of the smaller denomina-
tions of money. Legislature cannot offer
an arbitrary value to either silver or gold
or adapt any measures to retain them in
stable equilibrium. Their value practi-
cally depends upon their desirability for
business purposes, and the needs of the
of the business community. With un-
limited coinage perpetual see-sawing
would be inevitable, but money sharks,
conterfeiters and spectators would have
grand times. The mere authorizations of
such grand times has led these worthless
to invest very libe rally in the purchase
of a lot of congressman. tis to be hoped
that the s'combine" Of Spectators who
are trying to rush this iniquity through,
will experience the fate of Tantalus.

A Young Woman Who Gets More Sleep
Than Nature Requires.
LANSING. Mich, Oct. 2B.-One ofth most
remarkable cases that has ever engaged the
attention of physicians in this vicinity is
that Of Miss May White, twenty three years
of age, who for the last thirty-i five days has
been in continuous state of slumber. She
is now lying Mt the house of DR.. Brown of
Stockbridge. several miles south Of here,
who has had charge of her since its incep-
ton, and had the patient removed to his
own house SO that he might give her closer
attention.
Miss White. until stricken, was bright
young woman, and had taught school in
neighborhood Of her home. While attend
ing business school in Jackson in July OF
last year she was attacked by neuphritis. An
abscess .ormed in her side, and after intense
suffering t;ne ,sn she was Was relieved ot it. Some
epilepsy and suffered terribly from convul-
sions, having as many as fl ty in an hour.
These continued until June last, when the
young woman suddenly dropped into
slumber SO deep that lor days no one was
able to rouse her. Hcr weight has steadily
decreased until at present she weighs but
tity pounds, having lost over seventy
pounds since the beginning of her slunlber.
DR.. Brown Is the only person who is able
to rouse the sleeping girl, and the opera
tion requires from twenty minutes to one
hour. She is fed three times day with
light nourishnent. She remains awake for
half an hour, during which she converses
intelligently and takes an interest in read
ing newspapers. At the end OF the half
hour she relapses into All unconscious state,
III which she remains until her physician
again awakens her. DR.. Brown thinks that
the girl is gradually gaining more vitality,
and he believes she soon will come out OF
the lethargic state

Oct. % l q. m.-Adelbert Goheen was
hanged Mt 1915 for the murder of Rosa
Bray.
At l1:3O Goheen was taken to the second
floor of the Jail. He walked nimbly up the
stairs and cast furtive glance at the trap
as he passed by it into side room.
At l2 o'clock the priest knelt down and
prayed with him for about two minutes.
Then the sheriff slipped in and handcuffed
his hands behind his back. The priest led
the way to the trap. Goheen followed with
Sheriff Billings in the rear. He marched
out as erect as soldier. There was not a
finch or tremor as he passed into the
hall, he looked up at the rope and took
his position on the trap. He was then
strapped as usual.
Sheriff Billings then said. "Adelbert,
have you anything to say?" Hcsaid, "Gen-
tlemen. you see one way of dying" AS

The greater part of the evening was spent
in playing on the accordeon and listening
to the priests reading. At II o'clock he
was given an oyster stew which he ate with
relish. At II o'clock every reporter was
excluded from the Jail and only the Of
