Grover Cleveland announces him
self as unalterably opposed to the
free coinage of silver. His hostility
to this measure places him in oppo-
sition to the majority of the demo-
cratic party in congress and
seemingly in direct opposition to a
vast majority of the people west Of
the Allegheny mountains. Apart
from the causes which may have led
him to thus express himself we can
not but express our admiration for
tho man, who, with the presidential
nomination within his grasp, would
abandon all for principle, when, if
he considered his personal interests,
alone, he would refrain from utter

took care to let their representatives
know iton that question. Some
of the prohibitionists also seem to
think that from the fact that Mr..
Axvig changed his vote from prohi-
bition to resubmisslon shows insta-
bility of purpose. Nothing can be
further from the truth. Mr.. Axvig
is prohibitionist-both in practice
and principle-and left to follow
his own inclinations would certainly
have stayed with the prohibition
element. But in the platform upon
which he was elected, was inserted
a plank that declared for the resub-
mission Of the prohibition question
and Mr.. Axvig was but obeying the
behests of that platform, fulfilling
his pledges to the people and carry
ing out the wishes of large major
ity of his constituents when he
voted for resubmission.

Generl Sherman is dead. Th

Generl Sherman is dead. The
nation mourns the loss of a favorite
son--one in whom she placed every
confidence, when rebellion threat
ened the disruption Of the Union.
AS great a soldier as the nation has
produced, he will be tittingly claim
ed in history with Wellington and
Napoleon and among such patriots
as Washington and Lincoln. He
had the elements of greatness as a
general and the ability Of a states
man. In every grade of life the
veteran soldier was loved for his
unselfishness, services to his country
and personal attributes, and the
news of his death has caused pro-
found sorrow everywhere.
William Tecumseh Sherman was
born in Ohio in 1918, educated for the
army at West Point, and received a
commission as first lieutenant in 1s4l.
During the war with Mexico he was
promoted to the rank of captain. In
1860, at the commencement of the war
he offered his services to the federal
government, and was appointed colon
ell of infantry. Raised to the rank of
brigadier-general, he succeeded Gen.
Anderson in the Department. of Ohio,
from which he was removed for declar-
ing that it would take 200. 900 men to
hold Kentucky. He distinguished him
self at the battle OF Shiloh, and as ma
jor-general in the seige of Vicksburg.
Raised to an independent command HE
marched across the state of Mississippi
and took command of the army of
Georgia, forced Gen. Hood to evacuate
Atlanta, and captured Savannah and
Charlestown, from which point he
moved North, and, by cutting Off the
resources Of Gen. Lee compelled the
evacuation Of Richmond and the sur
render of Gen. Lee to Gen Grant on
April 8, 1865. The surrender OF Gen.

was plain sailing for the new com.
bination, under order of unfinished
business in keeping up the unap-
proved journal Of Saturday and
moved to expunge all record of the
proceedings by which the resubmis-
sion bill was passed. This was car
ried by vote Of Is to 10, Little,
Lowrey, McGillveray and Worst
voting with the prohibitionists, and
Kuhn being absent and excused.
Ii tie then moved to cxpunge the
record of the capital removal resolu-
ton and the motion carried by a
vote Of "a to 4, LaMoure and Nc
Cormack being excused from voting.
Then the journal was approved as
corrected by is to IL. After recess
the senate in committee of the whole
recommended indefinite postpone
ment of both measures. The report
was adopted and then singly they
were killed. Then in each case a
motion to reconsider was made and
tabled. Rcsubmission died by a
vote of ls to 10 and capital removal
by a vote Of "a to 5. Thus ended
the most surprising chapter in the
history of this session. If the new
combination holds together until
they approve the journal tomorrow
it is difficult to see how the resub-
missionists can recover their lost
ground. They will evidently have
to wait two years before they can
again set the machinery in motion
for repeal.

upon such a question. He evidently
considered it a duty he owed to his
party and the people to make his
position on the great question known
and he performed that duty without
tlinching, and without regard to
personal consequences. Whether
Mr.. Cleveland be right or wrong on
this question time will determine,
and, in the meantime, he deserves
due credit for the admirable courage
he displayed in expressing views so
much at variance with the views Of
the south and west--from which
sections of country he must expect
his greatest support--and which
must tend to alicnate many follow
ers who would otherwise follow his
standard.

BISMARCK, N. D., Feb. 1.-THE
great question of resubmission has
been settled today i'll the senate before
"a full house and a large assembly of
visitors. Senator La Moure, in a neat,
effective and argumentative speech
moved the concurrence of the senate
to the house resolution for resubmis-
sion of article 20 of the constitution.
Senator Ink ably and earnestly cham
pioned the cause of the prohibition
element but was overcome by numbers
as the final vote stood, for resubmis-
sion IS. against Is. A good deal of
excitement, enthusiasm and debate
were looked for but failed to material

AGAINST FREE COINAGE.
Cleveland Declares His
Position.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1l.-Between six
and seven hundred people attended the
mass meeting at Cooper union tonight
to oppose the silver bill,i i'm responses to
the call of the reform club. E. Ellery
Anderson presided, and among the let
ters of regret that were read was this,
under date of Feb. 10, from exPresident
Cleveland:
My Dear Sir: l have this afternoon
received your note inviting me to at
tend a meeting called for the purpose
of voicing the opposition of the busi-
ness men of our city to the free coin
age of silver in the United States.'
shall not be able to attend and address
the meeting as you request, but | am
glad that the business interests OF New
York are at last to be heard on the
subject. 1t surely cannot be necessary
for me to make a formal expression OF
my agreement with those who believe
that the greatest perils would be initi
ated by the adoption Of the scheme
embraced in the measure now pending
in congress for an unlimited coinage OF
silver at our mints. If we have devel-
oped ad unexpected capacity for the
assimilation of largely incereasd vol
ume of the currency, and even if we
have demonstrated the usefulness of
such an increase, these conditions fall
far short of insuring us against disas-
ter, if in the present condition ween
ter upon the dangerous and reckless
experiment of free, unlimited and in
depent silver coinage.

Having a Hobby.

A man who has hobby is apt to
have more or less enthusiasm. which
makes labor more endurabIe and
recreation more enjoyable. On this
point the Scientific American has a
suggestion which is we'll worth heed
ing:
Many young men ride mechanical
hobby, and are often building exneri-
mental machines. and making
young" steam-engines. To such
men. electricity offers most enticing
field. There is no end to the direc-
tions in which thought may be profit
ably turned in connection with cleo
tricity. Well developed as it is, cleo
tricity is as yet an almost unknown
thing. which will require lifetimes of
study for its full understanding. Elec-
tricity is the future power of the
world, as it has always been its life,
although unknown and uncompre-
hended for ages.
That . young maa should waste
hours and days & his life in doing
worse than nothing. when he has such
a field before him. is scarcely to be
believed. Let young men awake to
the idea that the advancement of the
world depends upon them personally;

or worse as they choose to study or to
be idle, Then they viii quit beer

No doubt the impulsive move
ment favoring the free coinage of
silver has received severe check
by the dying utteronces of Secretary
Window, and later by the stand
taken by Ex-President Cleveland.
The opinions of both these gentle
men are of great weight, still we do
not think they are. infallible. No
doubt, both were actuated by the
purcst motives Of patriotism, and
unselfishly placed personal interests
in therear when they predicted fnan-
cial disaster should the present free
coinage sentiment prevail, but they
made a grave error .arraying their
Judgment against that of the great

Special Correspondence to COURIER DEMOCRAT.

BISMARCK, N. D., Feb. u, 1891
The scene in the house of represen-
tatives on the resubmission question
Will not soon be forgotten. The re-
submissionists claim that the prohibi-
tion element of the house took undue
advantage. OF the absence of a few of
their friends from the house, and, that
having majority, owing only to the
absence of.these few, they were endea-
yoring to pass the 1najofity report of
tcommittee Wnich wou1u s4iiirraai1y II II II Il
resubmission, and in order to avert
such action the resubmission men got
the call of the house and one OF their
men, a Mr.. Williams, slyly skipped out
and left the house tied up in a dead
lock for twenty flour hours, as accord
ing to the rules, nothing could be done
until the missing member returned.
The vote 80 tied up stood q to 80
against resubmission. AS soon as the
prohibitionists found they were foiled
the scenes anc uproar that ensued and
kept going for the next twenty-four
hours are better imagined than des-
cribed. Progressive euchre parties,
glee clubs, debating societies, button
holeing and whipping into line. Cap
pers were kept busy looking after their
flock, and a peep over the balcony
twenty-four hours after their incarcer-
alton was enough to convince the most
skeptical that a jollier or more good
natured lot of men we're hard to be
found. The prohibitionists would sing
We'll Hang Resubmission on Sour
Apple Tree,'' and all would join
in the chorus most heartily, and the
resubmission men would commence
the next stanza-we'll hang prohibition
/ on sour apple tree-and all would
again join in the chorus. Impromptu
speeches, side-splitting jokes and good
natured debates helped to kill the mo-
notony of the scene. Almost every
members desk was converted into a
temporary lunch table and the signs of
the unprohibitory effect of prohibition
were too visible where'er you turned
your eye. The janitor is said to have
taken up seven baskets of empties out
of the chamber. and was kicking be-
cause they were all so empty.
