AN ORITEIi DICTUM.

Judge KELLY, of our district court
on Saturday. in deciding case which
had been tried before him, exploited
the following Obiter dictum. provided
this expression can be used, OF what Is
an exceedingly lively corpse, If a corpse
at all:
Il hazard the sunpicion that this claim
would never have boon set up by the paint
if had not some quick'witted lawyer
dcIying amid the dusty records Of dead
generation. discovered what he conceived 10
be flaw in the defendants title. and thus
put the plaintiff on the track. Such in
dustry ought not 20 be encouraged"
Which, surely, Is very interesting.
The title 10 some real property was in
yolYed in the action before the court,
and, as the GLOBE understands it, its
judicial opinion is that, because an at
torney suggested to the plaintiff that
he had some legal rights in the prem
ises Of which the DlaiHtin had not him
self been aware, he does not appear
with that cleanliness of hands which 8
essential for a successful litigant.
But suppose the GLOBE should lose
It's gold watch, and. being superior 10
considerations Of time, which is made
for slaves and for slaves alone, should
be entirely unconscious of what had
happened. Suppose, further, that some
"quick- wItted" attorney, during a visit
to the pawnbroker's on personal bust
ness, should discover the timepiece
there where the finder had deposited it,
and should volunteer 10 recover 1t for a
contingent fee OF 80 per cent.
This, Of course. would be all wrong
from the standpoint Of legal ethics, but
ought it to prejudice in the slightest de-
gree the GLOBES right to recover its
property? If Judge KELLY had not
limited 10 the contrary, the GLOBE
would answer no; but as the matter
stands, 1t is good deal bothered. Judge
KELLY is a conscientious, industrious.
learned and fair-minded jurist. On the
other hand, the question IN both cases
would seem to be simply one Of mine or
thine. The GLOBE repeats that it is a
good deal bothered.

DIR. PARKHURsr's EXPLOITS

The New York papers have now ar
rived with the fully detailed account of
DIR. PARKHURST's exploits in the de-
lection of vice. 1t appears that the
reverend gentleman, in order 10 secure
proof that the police were not doing
their duty, visited a disreputable resort
and there witnessed Il disgraceful orgie.
The story Is really unfit for publication,
and DR.. PARKHURsT'S connection with
it, both as participant and narrator, can
be apologized for, il at all, only on
the theory that it, Is in the interest of
morality.
But is this the fact? A clergyman
discovers that men and women make
beasts of themselves and are not pun
ished for it. This, in any event. has
not the merit OF novelty. Everybody
knew it already. What good is TO be
achieved by the accumulation of some
additional evidence? 1t will have to be
some great good TO compensate for the
shock popular decency has received
from its publication. Even lOw-bred
men would hesitate to discuss among
themselves the things which DIR. PARK
HURST has displayed before everybody
who can read newspaper.
VOL, which is TO be the next step?
Does the reverend gentleman believe
that he can arrest the brutal vulgarity
of depraved humanity by showing its
existence, or that the arm OF the law is
strong enough to make the indecent
decent. 1t hardly seems possible that
he should be SO deceived. To raise the
worlds moral standard is noble under
taking, but the effective agency in the
work is not force, but persuasion.

woMAN,s INFnUENCE.

An incident in the proceedings of the
New York assembly recently shows that
even the toughened politicians found in
that body are not so incorrIgibie as not
to be influenced by good women. An
amendment TO an excise bill being
voted on was favored by the women,
and they were there to see the vote
taken. One member failed to respond
until his name had been called several
times, and then he surprised his friends
by voting for it. He explained that a
woman had compelled him to vote that
way, and he refused all opportunities
to change his vote. To obviate further
danger of this sort every woman was
required TO leave the chamber when the
roll was called afterwards-a rude de-
parture from all presidents. Women
can influence Legislators, if they are not
able to vote.

fact Is, BEN knew what he was about.
He has made it special point to enlist
the press in his personal fortunes. Sen
ator HANsBRoUGH has been allowed to
control the patronage Of North Dakota
because he owns a newspaper. Col.

life in the Minot land Office because he

AGAIN OUR COINAGE POLICY.
A journal OF Gold Recommendation
on the Minnesota Plank.

-
on the Minnesota Plank.
New York Evening Post.
1t 0he Minnesota Democratic conYen-
tion)aIs0 passed resolutions on the silver
question which call for attention, since
they may point way to solution of
the silver question in its political. al
though not in its financial aspects.
No silverite ought TO object to
the first resolution. Mr.. Bland and
Senator Stewart and all their followers
contend that free coinage would bring
the two metals to parity and keep
them there, so that we would actually
have bimetalliSm aud not merely the
single silver standard with gold de-
monetiZed and selling at premium.
The Minnesota Democrats say III sub
stance: Then you cannot object TO
making the silver dollar commercially
equal TO the gold dollar. III, upon the
adoption OF free coinage, silver should
not advance to $l.29 per ounce ut is now
So cents we merely ask that you shall
put enough metal into the dollar to
make 1t worth a dollar. Then we will
Join you. Then you may have free
coinage ad libtum. This is the real
dollar of the fathers"
We say this may be the political solu-
ton of the silver question. 1t offers
common standing ground for all mem
bers of the party. SO also does the de-
mand for a new international confer
ence, another financially futile but very
plausible aud rather shOp-worn device.
The Minnesota platform is in harmony
with that adopted by the Democrats of
New York which opposes any silver
dollar not of the intrinsic value Of every
other dollar of the United States"
The fact that we cannot make dollar
which will continue to be OF the same
value as a gold dollar, neither more nor
less. is no reason why we should not
have it in our platforms. We have been
making fools of ourselves OH this sub
jeet so long that il is only question of
greater or less folly. and we think that
the Minnesota resolution is the very
least folly that we shall be likely to get
in any national platform this year. The
execution OF the plan would require
that the silver dollars should be sent to
the minis periodically to have little
added to or subtracted from them in
order to keep them at par with gold but
that at all events would be honest and
would be less wasteful than the present
law, which calls for an expenditure Of
over S50,000,000 per annum for abso-
lutely no purpose whatever

the old parties, as having in it possibiIl-
