OFFICIAL PAPER OF MCLEAN co.

Grand Forks News, Oct. 10: Last night
about the midnight hour-while Alexan-
der Griggs lay sleeping on his couch in
his elegant home N. Third street, he was
awakened by a startling sensation in his
right side. Upon attempting to move he
found that the whole side had become
numb as if turned suddenly into lead The
rest of the family were alarmed by his call
and DR.. Wheeler was speedily sent for, who
responded quickly and found that the
Captains whole right side was benumbcd
with the premonitory symptoms of ap-
oplexy. Everything has been done by his
children to make him comfortable and he
converses with them his power of speech
being still unimpaired. Mrs. Griggs has
been telegraphed for. A request has also
been made to Pres't James j. Hill of the
Ct. Northern for a special car and engine
to bring Mrs. Griggs and DR.. Murphy of
st. Paul rs expeditiously as possible, which
will doubtless be granted.
DR.. Wheeler at 2 p. m. stated to a News
reporter that Capt Griggs was resting easy
and he apprehended no immediate serious
consequences. The news spread rapidly
and the deepest sympathy for Capt. Griggs
and his devoted family was expressed by
citizens of all shades of opinion. AS is
we'll known, the captain has been closely
identified with the city from its toddling
struggling infancy, was elected mayor,
served in the constitutional convention,
and is president of the Second National
Bank and identified with nearly every i'm.
portant interest of this metropolis.

Tho present Iowa compaign is said to be
the hottest one that state has ever seen.
The republicans are making a determined
fight to win back tho ground they lost
last fall, and the democrats are fighting rs
s%trenuously to hold their ground and to
gain more wherever possible. The leg
islature is to be elected this fall, both leg
islative and congressional, and if tho dem
ocrats win the republicans are afraid the
democrats will gerrymander the state so
MS t o give them oil but one or two of the
congressman. The legislature elected for
this redistricting will elects United States
senator to succeed Senator Wilson, and
the republicans are shaking for fear the
democrats will be able to get control OF
the state and elect a democratic senator.
The republican platform declares for pro-
hibition in unmistakable terms.-Eau

THE radical friends of the Mckinley
blunder, who find just now so much good
in the operation of the law, do not refer
to the spirit that gives it such virtue as ii
has-that is, the clause which enables
reciprocity to be set up even though to a
limited extent. Under the bill in its
original form reciprocal trade agreements
with foreign countries, TO the advantage
of our manufacturers, farmers and deal
ers, were not provided for. There was no
possibility, even limited, for the Govern
ment to abandon duties levied or re-
strictions placed upon our export trade.
The idea of protection of home producers
by the stimulation of the export trade
was not part of the Mckinley protec-
ton scheme.

lays the Georgia free coiner low, we give
this epitome of the Debate.
The Constitution asserted that it knew
positively that silver would go to 81 90 an
ounce under free coinage.
If you know" it, replies the New
York paper, you ought to give some Sc
and do not believe it, in order to remove
our opposition.
To this the Atlanta journal demurs as
frivolous, but proceeds to tell how it
knows its assertion to be truth, and that
silver would advance to par with gold.
First, there is the intrinsic value of the
silver (and here follows that which gives
away the case of the free coiner, a con-
fession of native inability in the silver.
To this would be added the coinage value,
and next the legal tender value of the
coin, as is the case with gold now. Thus,
with the mints open to silver, silver bull
ion would possess a potential value.
To which the Post replies: You have
then three orders of values; these added
together are to make sixteen ounces of
silver equal to one ounce of gold. Now,
why not consider the intrinsic value of
copper, add the coinage value and sup
plement it with legal tender value to
make that metal equal to gold at the ratio
of sixteen to one? Why, indeed, have
any metal at alp
The Constitution returns with this sug-
gestion: Suppose the legal tender value
of gold to be taken away and the mints
to be closed against it's coinage; would
not gold fall to its intrinsic value, and
would not that be no greater than that of
silver?
The Post responds: Under such con-
ditions gold certainly would possess only
its intrinsic value. But it would buy
just as much as ever of any commodity
known to commerce (and here the Post
touches the quick of the whole question:.
THAT is precisely what is meant by
UaLue."
These are not new arguments on either
side, but they are so simply, directly and
forcibly put that they possess new value
>in the educating process of the public
mind upon the current question. 1t is,
after all, question of the definitions of
value. If the free coinage men are right,
their coin value is not stable and is de-
pendent upon political possibilities and
liabilities.

The reply of the Chilean Junta is not
satisfactory. In fact it is adding insult to
injury. 1t is very true that the Junta
has the right to pursue its investigation
in its own way, but that method should
disclose at least solicitude to be speedy,
while witnesses are to be reached and
the facts are fresh in memory. Common
courtesy demands the expression of re-
gret that the tragic event should have
happened. There is nothing in the reply
that will tend to check the i'll feeling be-
tween the two nations. On the contrary,
it will be construed as contemptuous and
unfriendly, and justly so.

THE action of the State University au-
thorities in disciplining some unruly
students is to be commended. A crowd
of the youths, partly under the influence
of liquor, behaved like hoodlums and en-
gagged in most unseemly conduct the
other day towards some of the young
women in attendance at the University.
The latter had the youths arrested. and
they have been duly fined. Two of the
young men have been expelled, and
others have been more lightly punished,
but sufficiently to maintain the dignity
of the University. If young men the
State is educating cannot behave as gen.
tlemen they should be treated as roughs
and made to feel that they are entitled to
no more consideration than are rowdies.
AS for the men who sold the boys liquor.
they have been proceeded against and
should be roundly punished.

TOO TRANSPARENT.
A Merced Estimate OF the Traffic As
sociation.
[Merced Star. Qctober 29th.l

Merced Star, October 29th.l
The completion of the formation of the
Traffic Association and the remarks
thereon by different San Francisco pa
pers shows the true inwardness of that
concern. 1t is a San Francisco associa-
ton pure and simple, and is intended to
benefit San Francisco alone, if necessary,
at the expense of the interior cities We
have as such no fault to find with the
association, and recognize the right of the
citizens of any community to band to-
gether for the purposes of maintaining
advantages already possessed or for the
purpose OF acquiring new ones. But the
transparent attempts made by different
San Francisco merchants and Journals to
enlist the aid and sympathy of the interior
towns on the plea that it was for their
common interest are too silly to talk
about. The Nicaragua Canal and Pa
cific steamship line, as outlined by Stew
art MenZies, and all such things would
in the end benefit some of the interior
cities, but such is not the object aimed at
The real design is to compel, if possible,
the overland roads to have but one ter
minaI station and to allow no overland
goods to reach California without going
through San Francisco. Every new ter
minal point in the State is blow at San
Francisco.

TIE PRODUCER IGNORED.

In the agitation now being artificiaIly
worked up in San Francisco under the
specious plea that that city is suffering
from unjust discrimination by carriers,
and by intolerably high rates, the pro-
ducer appears to have been ignored and
his interests wholly put out of sight.
1t will occur to all who have made
transportation of freight study, and to
those familiar with the laws of produc-
ton and of markets. that the well being
of the producer is the first consideration
in the promotion of trade In the San
Francisco scheme, however, the real pur-
pose, ill-concealed, is to compel the pro-
ducer by involuntary contribution to pay
tributeito that market.
This subject has been taken up by the
Colusa Stt3l, a representative journal of a
large area of production. After calm
review of the situation the Su,, concludes
that San Francisco has "Ieft out'' the
producer from every detail of its scheme,
but that this is, after all, only in line with
the uniform policy of the commercial
class of that city.
The Sun, after restating the truth that
San Francisco puld find its highest in
terest in working for the development of
the interior, declares that the Traffic AS
sociation movement is but another link
in the chain proving that the metropolis
will never do it and never has. It calls
attention to the important fact that what
ever route bids for the carriage of the in
coming freight must do so with the carry
ing back of our products in full view.
( No road can afford to haul empty cars
either way, and our perishable produce
cannot go by other than direct routes,
hence there might easily arise "a conflict
between outgoing and incoming ship
pers" when indirect routes are brought
in as bidders. The San adds:
1t looked to us from the start that the form
alton of a traffic association would be bad for
the producers-for the people who must have
cheap transportation or perish. and the more
we read the San Francisco papers the more
we become convinced of that fact The pres
ent state OF affairs may be bad. but the pro-
posed arrangement Will not help the produc-
ers. When we reduce the price OF freight two
dollars on a carload Of clothing we do not
benefit the country-we do not benefit the
/ consumer.
There is one thing certain the association as
now constituted, can do the producers no
good and there is q chance for much harm.
When we disarrange present conditions We
ought TO be certain OF the future. !

THE National Prison Congress asks
to give at the Worlds Fair an exhibit of
the Bertellon system of Identification of
criminals by measurement. Itis scarcely
likely that the French Government will
undertake such an exhibit, but there is
no difficulty in a committee of the Prison
Congress doing so. 1t is not at all diff
cult to explain the system or to illustrate
it. Such an exhibition would be of con-
siderable interest, since it would demon
strate that under it mistakes of identity
are next to impossible.

The insult to the American sailors at
Valparaiso may save Mr.. Egan. If he
can only wrap himself in the stars and
stripes and come home in blaze OF in
dignation, we may forget that he was a
provokingly incompetent representative,
with strong suspicion of Balmacedan
bias attached to him. If he is only driven
to take shelter under the protected deck

a SILVER DEBATE.

A most interesting debate has been go
ing on between the Atlanta Constitution
and the New York Eoening Post, which
Tor conciseness and clearness in putting
the whole silver question has not been
paralleled. The Constitution is free
coinage advocate of the most pronounced
type, and, indeed, there is not one ADLER.
The Post is as opposed to the free coinage
idea as anyone could be to that fallacy,
and it is blade worthy of any steel that
may essay to cross il

THE Boston Transcript, which has wit
messed the practical working of the ballot

say in its behalf
The most superficial observer cannot fail to
have noted that there is unusual feeling upon

ated 10 give new interest and value to vot-
ing. Citizens can now go to the polls and de.

side and then on the other. by politicians de
sirous TO confuse the voters judgment, or even

There is no necessity, under the present
method OF balloting. for any citizen TO act
against his convictions. It is the knowledge
OF this fact which at least tends to increase the
thr0ngs focking TO hear political speakers at
the present time. They desire to learn from
the lips of the candidates themselves their
views of public questions, and to hear them
discussed by other Speakers. The Australian
ballot increases the power of the stump, and
materially decreases the part which the wire

people crave all the enlightenment that is

each man in Massachusetts is really and truly

ballot containing his deliberate and unbiased
decision. Public opinion is now operative
again as was intended in the theory of our
government.

Military Divisions Abolished.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-Secretary Proctor
today signed an order abolishing the three
great military divisions of the United
States. These were the Atlantic, Pacific
and Missouri, commanded respectively by
Generals Howard, Ruger and Miles. BY
o-day's order the departments remain in
tact. The purpose is to make department
commanders represent directly to Major
General Schofield, commanding the army,
and the secretary of war instead of as here
tofore reporting to their division COM
manders. One Of the features of the order
is the assignment Of General kautz to the
command Of the department of the Colum-
bia, which he earnestly desired to COM
mand as it was there his first military SER
vice was rendered and where he wishes to
retire next year.
Major General Howard is assigned to
the command of the department of the east,
with headquarters at Governors island,
n. Y. harbor.
Major General Miles is assigned to the
command of the department of the Mis-
souri,, which will embrace the states of
Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois,
Missouri, Kansas, and Arkansas and Okla
homa and Indian Territories, with head
quarters at Chicago.
Brigadier- General Brooks is assigned
to the command of the department of the
Platte, with headquarters at Omaha, Neb.,
and the state of Colorado added to that
department.
Brigadier- General Merritt is assigned
to the command of the department of
Dakota, with headquarters at st. Paul.

Electrical Executions at Sing Sing.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
ALBANY, \. Y, July Sit is just pos
sible that may not execute anybody next
week" The speaker was Warden Brown,
Aof Sing Sing prison, and he had been asked
how preparations for the execution of the
six murderers were going on and he was
answering. "You see, it is more than pos
siDle that stay may be asked for and
granted to produce new evidence. Still
after this delay, may not grant il and in
die"
Mr.. Brown talked as nonchalantly as if
he were going TO be best man at a wedding
instead of manager of wholesale slaugh-
ter. In response to further queries he said
everything was in readiness. He admitted
that as il was only the second trial of death
by electricity, there was still little novelty
about il and break of some kind might be
made. but he said tho greatest care would
be taken that all the apparatus should be
in the best kind of order. The men are in
the best condition and none of them have
broken down.
Upon being asked to give some ipforma-
ton as to the time of execution and num-
Der to be killed in day, ne said: 81 have
no information to give. / shall carry out
the law to the letter and / shall give no in
formation to the press other than that the
execution took place at a certain hour. No
newspaper reports shall come from the in
side of my prison walls. The information
which the law allows shall be given; that
is all" Warden Brown says that he will
even swear his jury to secrecy.

his life had been threatened. He met
