ATTORNEY Dodge.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-W. =. Dodge
of Fargo, attorney for the Great North
ern Railroad 90. in North Dakota, and
next to Alex. Mckenzie. the cleverest
political manipulation in that state, ar
rived in Washington last night. He is
here to appear in several cases before.the
supreme court the principal one being
that of the Wallace estate, Stutsman
County, for the recovery of SAC, 900 paid
in tax sales in 1882 and 1883 on railroad
lands which were afterwards declared
not taxable on account of fees for sur
veyor, etc. The case came to the SUI
preme court on appeal of Stutsman
County, which is represented by John F.
Dillon of New York. The outcome,
Dodge says, is important. as there
are other cases involving several hundred
thousand dollars. This case is No. SO
on the supreme court docket, and argu.
ment will be begun tomorrow or Satur-
day. Dodge discussed North Dakota
politics this morning with considerable
freedom. He gave it as his opinion
that the outlook was bright for Senator
Casey to succeed himself. He said the
feeling among the republicans was
growing in Casey's favor all the time,
and that it was the general opinion he
had represented North Dakota in an
exceedingly exceptional manner in the
upper branch of the national congress.
The only antagonism against Casey,
he said, grew out Of his
position on the latter question and it
was apparent that all this was diving
out He knew of no real candidate in
opposition to Senator Casey. He said
Mayor Ball of Fargo, was being men
tlcned. but he has beer considered for
several important positions in the past.
In regard to the Fargo post Office
middle, Dodge said he believed many
OF its patrons would be pleased with the
appointment of ]. J. Jordan in view of
the fact that both senators were sup
porting him. He said. however, that
Colonel Magill and III. @. Plumley
the other candidates, had their adj
herants Dodge indicated, though he
did not say it, that the best way to set
tie the fight would be to appoint man
not in the race. In speaking OF North
Dakota sentiment as to republican
candidate for president, Dodge said:
Blaine was the only man considered
at this time should it be shown that he
would accept the nomination, il would
be an easy matter to send Blaine dele.
gaticn to the national convention and
an impossibility to secure delegation
for another candidate.

The block occupied by Herrick & Son
was owned by I. Isbell of this city and
Henry CLARK of Hartford, Conn. The
one occupied by Laferty was owned by
the estate of DR.. E. W. Howard. The
loss on the former is 1926. 900, on latter
$4,000. Herrick & Sons loss is 800, 900.
Laferty's loss is about $4,000. The
rear walls Of both blocks stood intact
and the wreckage did not fall to the first
floor as in the 'front.' thus giving the
occupants the chance to escape and it
was it seems, miracle that score of
lives were!not lost. The wall on the two
blocks has been gradually undermined
in the last few days by water washed
from an over flowed sewer. The
Isbell and CLARK block was
pronounced unsafe some time ago and
Herrick says he called the attention of
Isbell on Friday to the loose bricks in
the cellar wall.

bles, and good bread. The only thing
farmer who takes them to board need

much for this as for many of the other
articles named. We hope all our read
ers who have a spare room will be will
ing to take two or more such people.
The price paid for board, not including
washing, is from S. TO So per week. II

more such boarders send your name and
address to S. W. Cummings, St. Al
bans, VT. before March 10Th. If you
have never taken city boarders try it
this summer. 1t will pay better than

Congress has got through and gone
home. 1t was a republican Congress,
and though it seemed to some not to
have accomplished much it did do a
fair amount of work. The non-obstruc-
ton policy of Speaker Reel had much
to do in facilitating business. Let us
glance at some of the more important
work. The antitrust bill, the tariff ad-
ministration bill, public land grant for
FIXTURES for actual settlers, the original
package bill, the dependent pension bill,
the limited coinage bill, the anti-lottery
bill, the international copyright bill.
1t defeated the schemes of the silver
coinage men, it ought to have passed
the elections bill. 1t did well in the
re-apportionment bill, and the bill for
the relief of the supreme court. When
we consider all the interests involved,
ali the difficulties in the way of making
men think alike, we must give Con-
gress the credit of accomplishing fair
amount of work.

place in these country homes. Every
thing that is passing in the world of
thought viii be heard by those country
firesides as quickly as in city homes,
and will be appreciated far better than
amidst feverish urban life. Then take
of your wealth and put it back gener-
ously upon that soil from which your
ancestors drew so much and such quail
ity of life. Let the old fields rejoice
under your hands and the hands of
your sons, who shall bring from the
schools the resources of science with
which to make them fruitful" 1t is
believed by shrewd observers ;hat
there is now tendency in this direc-
tion. If few wealthy men have as yet
purchased large estates in this country,
there is reason to believe that there is
disposition to do so. In New York
and Boston some of the most intelIi-
gent men have given expression TO
their purpose to secure permanent
country homes. And something of this
kind has already been done, as the
fine estates of DR.. w. S. Webb at
Shelburne and Austin Corbin at Croy-
den, N. H., bear witness. But what
ever the prospect of the immediate a.
doption Of this suggestion, its wisdom
and good sense cannot be disputed.
City life in the winter is round of
exhausting pleasures and duties, and
fashionable lite at the popular resorts
III the summer months gives too little
of real rest and freedom. The private
estate, with all the conveniences that
years of residence bring, near point
where shops, railroad facilities, ETC.,
are to be found, promises the most per-
feet manner of life through the sum
mer months. 1t is TO such move
ment as this that Vermont will proba-
bly, owe much other future prosperity.
Many of her now deserted farms will
be repeopled by the wealthy Of the
cities. These people will become citi-
zens Of the state in many cases, and
their interests will be identical with
those of the native Vermonter. They
will be of inestimable service to the
state, and their coming should be en-
couraged in every legitimate way.

WEST RANDOLPH VT. MAR. I2 1891.

currency based upon an equal deposit
of gold and silver in the u. S. treasury
Now, as the time draws near when
such condition of things seems inev-
liable the public mind is disturbed by
conjectures, theories, aud apprehen-
sions as to the consequences. Feb. u,
1878, Congress passed an act limiting
the use of silver to subsidiary coins and
the trade dollar of 420 grains. These
coins were legal tender in sums of So
or less. The new dollar was designed
for the India and China trade and went
into home circulation 10 a limited ex-
tent. This act was known as "the act
for demonetizing silver" and it has
been charged that the act was passed
secretly or surreptitiously, but there is
no foundation for this. The advocates
of silver gained an advantage in conse.
quence of the financial troubles of '73.
The Silver Commission of &c justified
the conclusion that the time had come
when the exclusive use of gold should
be abandoned. In Feb. rs Congress
passed an act over the veto of Pres.
Hayes authorizing the coinage of silver
dollars and making them legal tender.
This act required the secretary of the
treasury to purchase and coin two mil
lion dollars worth of bullion each month
and authorized him to coin an addition
al two millions if the public interest APP
peared to require it. When this act
was passed the currency of the country
was upon gold basis. Whatever may
be said of the wisdom Of the measure
it is the policy upon which the country
has entered and there can be no depart
ure from it without disturbance that
would be felt throughout the CONNER
cial world. BY this act of '7S the re-
of silver was authorized.
A conference of nations was invited
and Germany avoided any
conclusion favorable to our policy, act
ing upon the belief that some day they
would monopolize the free gold of the
world. Mr.. Boutwell, thinks we COM
mitted a mistake in not securinga con-
ference before entering upon our pres
ent course, yet he admits that the use
Of silver has been an efficient agent in
securing the degree of prosperity that
he country has enjoyed duringthe past
en- years. 1t has permitted the with
travail of national bank notes without
serious injury to our finances. He says |
hat the annual output of gold is not
ldequate to the wants of the leading
nations of the world. The coinage of
liver under the act of 1878, amounted
u the 1st of Jan. '91 to S376, 900, 900. I
It's demonetization would bring about
disaster.
