A CHURCH QUARREL.
German Lutherans at HokaI
Carry Their Troubles to the

German Lutherans at Hokah
Carry Their Troubles to the
Courts.
III OKAH, Sept. 24.-About three years
ago dissatisfaction was created among
the members of the German Lutheran
church of this place over a minister
who had been recently engaged. He
was not regularity ordained preacher
some claimed. At any rate, part of the
congregation who were in the minority
were dissatisfied, and said he had
been hired contrary to the rules of
the church, as the trustees had no right
to engage such man. The trouble
finally became So serious that certain
members of one side threatened the
lives OF some of the others. it is said.
The minority found that they were
either obliged to put up with the new
preacher or to leave, and they chose
the latter course. They left the
church, elected trustees of their
own, hired another preacher,
to suit themselves and have since held
meetings regularly in the public school
building. When they left they were re-
fused further abundance to the church
and are without any records or books of
the church. They were not willing,
however, to give up their church, which
they had helped to build and support for
many years, and so have entered suit in
the district court against the old
church trustees for possession of the
church and records, which they claim
are justly entitled to, as they alone have
lived up to the constitution of the Luth-
eran church. They have engaged the
services of Mcconnell Il Schwetzer, of
La Crosse, and Congressman HarrIes, of
Caledonia, as their attorneys. Soon
after the suit was commenced the old
trustees, or defendants, placed a mort
ghge of 500 on the church.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Less than
$1,000, 900 in currency available for bust
ness in the vaults of the treasury here
is the condition that confronted treas
ury officials to-day. In the sub-tIeasury
in New York there are 100000 in
currency, and in the varies sub-treas-
uries S4,5O0,O00 more, making in all
SO, 500, 600 in currency. There is now
in the course of redemption $500, 600 in
currency, which makes a grand total of
S13,000,00 in currency. The net bal
anee as shown by the treasury state
ment is $40, 100000. included i'll this is
$4,000. 900 in bank repositories and ST.
100000 in subsidiary silver, leaving the
available balance as stated between
S13, 600, 900 and S14,000,000.
This statement does not include the
100000 600 gold reserve which Secre-
tary Foster has stated at various times
he could use in case of necessity; nor
does it include gold and silver coin in
the treasury. 1t includes only the cur
rency available for current demands.
1t is stated on good authority that dur
ing the present week treasury officials
have had to hustle" to get together
sufficient currency to meet demand
drafts, and that, where practicable,
drafts rave been drawn on the SUD-
treasury at New York to avoid curtail-
ing the small currency balance in the
treasury department. Money has also
been transferred by express and tele-
graph to points removed from sub-treas-
uries to meet urgent demands, as the
treasury could not afford to have funds
remain idle at small points.
This ''cramp" for currency is brought
about by the redemption of AZ per cent
bonds, and also to the falling Oft of Gus
tom receipts during the present month.
Pension payments have also figured in
reducing the available currency, $780,
600 having been paid out on this account.
There now remains $50, 100000 AZ per
cent bonds to be either redeemed or
continued, and when these are disposed
of it is thought the available currency
in the treasury will rapidly increase.
OF the S9,OOO,0 900 AZ per cent bonds ii
is believed that about S7000,000 will be
presented for redemption. While the
treasury department is, therefore, at
this time having a tight time to find
currency to transact its business, the
pressure will soon be removed and mat
terS move along as smoothly as they
have for some time mast

A FAILURE IN IOWA.

In the Iowa campaign the fact is be-
Ing developed that the Republicans are
chiefly interested in prohibition for the
political strength it has in that state.
AS in Maine, their concern is not greatly
as 10 the sale of liquor. but to hold votes
TO the Republican party Having in
dOrsed the state law at the demand of
the prohi6itionists, they are forced to
the ground thar it does prohibit. The
Democrats take issue with them as to
the matter of fact, and one of the evil
dences they adduce is the number of
government licenses issued. Last year
there were 3,975 retail dealers who took
out the permits from the general gov
ernment, besides several hundred who
took the malt liquor license. % brew
cries and 120 wholesalers Of beer and
liquors. The figures are said to show
no decrease this year. The number
OF liquor dealers, as shown by this rec
ord. is just about the same as it was ten
years ago when prohibition was adopt
ed in that state. The dealers do not
dare to sell without the internal rev.
enue permit. This does not afford any
protection from the penalties of the
state law. The revenue books are open
10 the officials of the state, with the
names Of those who take out licenses
alphabetically arranged for their con-
venience. But no use is made of it.
The parties are not prosecuted. This is
practical recognition that public senti-
ment does not sustain the law aud that
it is dead letter. There are many
other evidences of its ineffectiveness.
The Democrats propose TO treat ii as a
failure, and enact such laws as can be
enforced and public sentiment will sus-

judicial lore has limitations. A United
States district Judge has been found who
does not know that a Chinaman must
necessarily come from China. A school
boy could teach him that the breed is a
local institution and not Indigenous in
any other land. The United States
statutes provide that any Chinese in
this country who doesn't show the
requisite papers must be returned to
the country whence he came" The
legislator who made the law did not
think of but one construction for it, and
the common mind does not think any
diary is needful to show where the pig
tail should be fired to. But this wise
judge interposes and says shat if the
FELLOW comes by way of China, Cuba or
any other intermediate region, that is
where he must be sent. The practice
has been to ship them to China
without any irrelevant questions as
to their meanderings. The decision of
the court virtually defeats the object of
the law in the case of the Chinese that
come by way of Canada,a as they are now
doing very largely. The treasury officials
truderS back to Canada when they are
shown to have come that way. This
only serves to remind the ''washee man.
that he is not wanted in this country, but
he is not a bit sensitive on that point. He
IS not moving about the world 10 please
people, but to get more money than he
can at home. Ii he is pushed back into
the British possessions, he does not hesi-
tate to ignore the invisible line and some
where in its 1900 miles slip back with
out disturbing the vigilant officials. The
Canadian authorities are operating
the matter on lucrative principles.
They charge the Chinaman $50 for
admission to the country, and
do not even intimate to him
that there is any objection to crossing
over into the United States. In fact,
routes of travel in this direction are
pointed out. Until recently the Chi
nese were discouraged by a $50 fee
also when sent back there from the
United States. This has been removed,
and the pigtail is allowed to stay there
until he can get OH this side again. 1t
Is understood that it is getting to be a
wholesale business shipping the Chi
nese IT, by way of Br itish Columbia.
The people over there GET the money
the Chinaman have, and the United
States gets the Chinaman 1t is big
expense to send them back to their
land, and some new legislation seems
to be needed if they are to be kept out
of this country.

there are in the movement. The census
Shows no material difference between
the numbers there and in the state of
Wyoming and $4,000 more than the Cali
fornia adjunct known as Nevada, which
was made state when the Republicans
had needs in that direction. But Ari-
IONA needs more irrigation and can
afford to wait till the rain producing eX-
periments are decided. If it was loudly
and reliably Republican and the party
was getting plnched little in the
senate, it would be clearly entitled to
admission. References to sage brush
and the sometime frequency of elusive
red men in its Businesses would be i'm
pertinent. Aside from the partisan
pose, its case is not strong. Still. as it
will probably come to congress
asking admission, the house may
conclude to follow the recent eX-
ampleS of the Republicans, but the
senate and White house will not con-

denied admission, except by an exhibit

any appeals for fairness. In fact, if the
people of that community insist upon
statehood, it would, under the circum-
stances, be the grossest partisan out
rage to deny them. They will show by
Mr.. PORTER that they have more popu-
lation than Montana and handsome
surplus over Idaho and Wyoming COM
bined. New Mexico had promise of
statehood when it was admitted four or
more decades ago. The only objection
openly made is that some Of the people
do not talk English very well and per-
haps could not pass the Mississippi test
for voting. The Republicans will prob
ably have a chance to display their par
tlsanship in the case.
There is likely to be vigorous effort
in Utah to secure admission, with its
2OS,00O population and rapid develop
ment pleading for it. For the first time
there is no visible Mormon political
party in the field, and the attempt is
beng made to show that straight ma
tional politics is dividing the people.
Bpt there is a Gentle party that dis
trusts the professions of the church
leaders, and will be likely to be heard
with effect in opposition to statehood,
until the fear OF Mormon rule becomes
feeble. No new state will, in any event,
be allowed to take part in the presiden-
tial election next year.

THE SHERMAN LAW.

The Democracy is and always has
been sound on the money question, and
its enemies lean upon broken reed
when they count on its championing
financial herecies in the coming national
campaign. The Democracy is opposed
to the present silver law because it is at
variance with all the principles of eco
nomic orthodoxy. No man who reasons
honestly can defend it on the basis of
either honesty or eXpediency. An arti-
cial increase in the volume of the circu-
lating medium, made at regular inter-
walls in the calendar year, without regard
to the needs of business, is preposterous
scheme. The amount of money in the
country should correspond accurately
to the condition of trade. Under nat
ural system the minis would be busy
when an active commerce suggested it,
and would lapse into idlenesS again
when quiet prevailed in the markets.
To label 70 cents worth of silver as a
dollar, and to undertake its mainte-
nance at a parity with gold by the gov
ernment'S pledge to convert one into
the other on demand, is to make our
currency token money without value of
itself and dependent on the caprice or
the capacity OF legislators for its eff
cheney. The only thing accomplished by
the existing law is to provide the owners
of our silver mines with an avenue for
disposing of their wares. Were it not
for this consideration, it would be as
satisfactory should the government is
sue greenbacks every month to the
amount now prescribed for the coinage
of silver. These would circulate as
freely as any other money should the
state agree to redeem them in gold, and
would be exposed to no criticism or OBJ
lection which does not now exist in ref
erence to the present silver dollar.
They would not have in themselves the
value of a commodity. But the silver
dollar does not have the value
which is stamped upon it. There
might come a time in the coun-
try's history when it would find it
ineXpedient oregen impossible to secure
gold enough for their conversion. But
this also is just as likely to be the case
with the 70 cent silver coin. Unless it
is the states constitutional duty to
buy the silver output of the nation, the
present silver law achieves nothing
which would not be accomplished by
a periodic initiation of our paper cur
rency. The Democracy does not believe
that it is the states duty to buy the
country's silver any more than it is its
duty to buy any other commodities
which our resources may produce, and
when the issue is finally joined on this
question, our party will be found op-
posed to the pernicious provisions of
the SHERMAN bill
