EDITOR NYE of the Devils Lake Inter-
Ocean, has developed into one of the
best silver editorial writer's in the state.
The issue Of the 14th inst, contains a
most ingenious argument in favor of the
white metal aud the open letter of Sen
ator Hansbrough to his critics indicates
a feeling of surprise on his part at the
general opposition of his constituents on
this question. Senator Hansbrough as
sumes that those who have not had the
superior advantages enjoyed by himself
to acquaint themselves with all phases
OF the money question are hardly quail
fed to criticise. In a measure this is
true, but the senator should understand
that North Dakotans are great readers
and they have made this silver question
a great study during the past year. They
have read the speeches of the leading
advocates of free silver, Of bimetallists
and of the gold standard. They have
read column after column pro and con

into personal contact with either silver
mine owners or Wall street fnanciers.
What they have learned about the 6nan-
cial problem they have acquired fsom
study and experience. They may not be
overburdened with knowledge but they
are we'll posted on a few matters. They
know that a small minority in the United
States senate is preventing legislation
demanded by an overwhelming senti-
ment in favor Of repeal of the Sherman
law throughout the country. They have
faith in the good Judgment of the Amer
lean people, and they see in this in
stance-in this continued 6libustering-
aDefort to defeat the will and desire
of the majority. This is an anti Ameri.
can and not in line with simple ideas of
good, representative government.

WILL THEY BE HAPPY:

Another New York belle, Miss Flora
Davis, is to marry into the nobility. The
gentleman, who is soon to rejoice in the
distinction Of being her husband is Lord
Terence Blackwood, and the wedding is
to occur in Paris. October 10th.
Mr.. Blackwood, or rather Lord Black.
wood, for without the Lord it is prob
able the wedding would not be, is a son
OF the Earl Of Duferin, and through his
noble veins courses q blood which,
although red from a physiological stand.
point, is a deep, dark, ultramarine blue,
when seen through the social magnify
ing glass. By one Of the numerous &c.
centricities of heredity, he has inherited
from his fathers and forefathers, an obil-
lty whichmust be born, and which can
not by any uprightness of life or intent
ness of morality be made. This nobility
he exchanges with Miss Davis, she re-
celving the gracious privilege of becom.
ing Lady" and he receiving the dowry
with which Miss Davis comes to him
q little matter of something like $780,
OO-a purely vulgar and unthought of
consideration of course, but withal very
necessary to the alliance which is soon
to be made.
Now it is possible, of course, that Lord
Blackfoot, or Blackwood, or whoever he
ls. may be actuated to the marriage
wholly by motives of the purest Of pure
love and affection, and that Miss Davis
is impelled to natrimony for the self
same reason. It may be a delightful
affection and a realization of reciprocated
love which underlies the coming cere-
mony. But from the cases of marriage
between American girls and titled for
eigners which have occurred in the past,
and from the general sameness of the
reasons which have actuated them, it
looks as though Lord Blackwood was
exchanging a half interest, right and
title in his God-given nobility for the
vulgar consideration of American wealth
foreign and superior blood for Yankee
dollars.
No one will be backward in wishing
Miss Davis a full share OF happiness.
Also will everyone join IN wishing JOY to
Lord Blackwood, although his share of
happiness. if the future may be judged
by events IN the past, will very probably
be greater than will hers. Mr., beg par
don, Lord Blackwood. has a perfect right
to ally his nobility with Miss Davis
dollars if he wants to. So has she. But
1t is a very nearly safe proposition that
the waters in the brook Of their domestic
existence will be not altogether unrufAed;
that Lady Blackwood will at some time
feel the weight of the coronet or crown, or
whatever she gets, which vas purchased
with American bullion.

The farmers of North Dakota and
the merchants and business men of
North Dakota are more seriously af-
fected by the refusal of the United States
sena:e to do its duty-repeal the Sher-
mar law-than any other state in the
union. There is not ever a shadow of
doubt but that the North Dakota farmer
would get 10 cents more a bushel for his
wheat after repeal than at the present
time. Anti repeal senators are taking
something like 100000 from the
pockets of the North Dakota farmers.

In speaking of the effect of the delay
Of the senate in reaching a vote on the
silver question, Henry Clews says: "Nor
do the doubts raised by the attitude of
the senate involve merely a monetary
risk. They also raise a very serious
political question,-one which is funda-
mental to the stability of every national
interest. 1t is impossible to ignore the
fact that we are threatened with the
possibility Of a break down of one of
the coordinate branches of the national
government. Already it is demonstra-
ted that a minority of the senate may
become so demoralized and go defiant OF
the preponderant public sentiment as

SENATOR RoDER1cK JOHNSON of Traill
county, who is probably as closely il
touch with the farmers as any man in
the state does not hesitate to declare
that the inactivity OF the United States
senate. or rather it's refusal to pass the
repeal bill is working a hardship to the
farmers. The delay affects the price of
wheat. Mr.. johnson says the farmers of
his county, and he believes of the entire
state, are for honest money and against
the free silver policy. The Farmers
alliance Of his county has recently so
declared.

An 4 S

marital misfts speedily corrected and
mismated married couples satisfactorily
released, with guaranteed satisfaction to
both parties" ought to be the signs dis
played by some divorce courts, W
days. And probably the rapkest ex.
ample OF the kind which has come
to light lately comes from Philadelphia,
where Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Manchester
of unquestionable social standing, have
him released from CALLING bonds by the
courts, and where both we're at once re-.
married by the same wise law, which so
kindly divorced them.
The circumstances IN the case are ex.
cessively wearisome all the way through.
Mr.. and Mrs. Manchester went to Bar
Harbor last summer and while there be-
came acquainted with the Wilkinsons,
brother and sister. Mr.. Manchester
made love to Miss Wilkinson in the ex-
perienced manner peculiar to his class,
and Mrs. Manchester, to get even, allowed
Mr.. Wilkinson to make love to her
Then came to Mr.. and Mrs. Manchester
the alarming consciousness of the fact
that providence hadn't made them for
each other, after all. He seemed to think
that Miss Wilkinson had been con.
tructed by a kindly deity especially for
him, and Mrs. Manchester acknowledged
q similar sensation regarding Miss Will
kinson's brother. Accordingly the two
agreed to disagree, made application for
q divorce, got it, and at once Mr.. Mac
Alester was married to Miss Wilkinson
and Mrs. Manchester married Miss Will
kinson's brother.
1t is a case where a divorce was especi-
ally convenient and pleasing. So handy,
you know. But was there any reason
for it? 1t was a case of marriage, and a
convenient dissolution of the marital
bonds, to give both parties q chance to
try over again. Should the two newly
married couples go to the seaside, find
some other persons for whom they
should develop a new affection, and
agree to disagree, the courts would
again unmarry them, and marry 'em
over again. There is something radically
wrong about the whole procedure. Bar.

stood privilege Of returning wife or hus.
