On:y CRc Change.

Senator sherman recently wrote 4
letter to lis friend Hon J. H. Walker,
IN which lie discussed tile silver bill
now in force The circumstances I'M
der which the bill was created and
passed we have before given III these
columns, bat here is an extract from
this late letter, which we have not
given. but which is worth reading and
thinking about. Abiding to the so
called sherman bill, the Senator said:
There Is but one provision in 1t
that ! Would change, and that Il to
strike out the compulsory purchase OF
given quantity OF silver and give au-
thOTity to tie secretary Of the treas
urv to buy silver bullion at its market
price when needed for subsidiary com
age. Other provisions should be made
for full legal tender United States
notes, supported by reserves OF both
gold and silver and backed by the cred
ii and wealth OF the United States,
bat these are grave subjects Tor sep
arate consideration. Nj hat we want
now is relief from further compulsory
purchase Of silver. We would gladly
have reduced the amount to be pur.
chased and 1T q fixed time suspended
the purchase but this was refused by
our ConfereeS Now that the great EVIL
we have feared has, | trust, passed
away, we would willingly leave the
amount of both gold and silver to be
coined or held i'll the treasury to the
law OF supply and demand. | assume
that Republican senator's and mem
bors, who, after full conference, agree
TO our report, Will, i'll the main, vote
for tie repeal Of the compulsory pHr-
chase Of silver bullion, ana hope that
our political friends who felt bound by
the local interests of their constitu-
cnts TO advocate that clause OF Tree
coinage, VIII be convinced 10y the eX-
pertinent made that the only position
we can occupy in the interests Of our
constituents ut large is one fixed
standard Of value and the use Of both
metals maintained at par with each
other on Il ratio as near - possible TO
their market value. such a policy !
believe is right. With reserves both
Of gold and silver IN the proportions
we can maintain the entire body Of or
paper money, including coin, at par

No. the Sherman Act.

Editor American Economist:
It is a strained assumption that the
issue of $I20, 900, 900 Of legal tenders,
under tie Sherman act, could unsettle
the finances Of this the richest country
on the face of the globe.
1t is not the Sherman act that has
disturbed confidence, it is the threat
encd demolition Of the industries of
the country under the coming Free
Trade legislation.
Under the Sherman act $120,000,0O0
Of currency measurablY affected while
under the reform Club Tariff schedule
billions of property will be most seri
ously menaced.
Under our Protective tariff British
money was steadily flowing to the
United States, as evidenced by the
800, GOO, 600 balance in our favor in
1892, and this while the sherman act
was in fuIl operation.

Editor Evening telegram:

Lttttl IN t4liti5 LtitS iSlll.
l have often thought that true bi-
mctall5sm is the combination of gold
and silver in the same coin. What Oh
lection can there be to Il coin which is
an alloy Of gold and silver in about
equal proportions Of value, with, of
course, the necessary copper to harden
the metal?
The great argument against bi-mCt-
aIism, with the gold in one coin and
silver in the other, is that silver is con
stantly deprcciating III value, ana the
law Of trade is that the cheaper Of two
curTencles, if Of sufficient abundance,
VIII drive the dearer oHt Of circulation.
NoW, if the two metals are combined
in the same coin, this would be impOS-
sihle. The coin would remain Of a fixed
value, or nearly SO, for, while the sill
yer in it might depreciate, the gold in
it would appreciate at the same time.
II the alleged coin should dcpreciatc as
compared with gold there would be no
object in extracting the gold, for what
might be made on the goll would be
lost or the silver, which would have to
lie taken with it.
The idea OF such a bimetaliic coin is
not SO novel as it may seem, for the
ancient Greeks coined Clcctrum, the
natural alloy vi gold and silver.

The Strongest Goes ftGs.n.

The Wisconsin Marine and Fire In
surance National bank, of Milwau-
kee, supposedly the strongest bank IN
She State, did not open its doors for
business last Monday. The bank was
founded many years ago by the great
railroad king Alexander Mitchell, and
his son, Senator Mitchell is now the
head and principal stakeholder OF the
bank. This bank WAS the depository
of the city funds and held about ST.
$50, 900 of Milwaukee public money
which is securely tied up. 1t was also
the depository Of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St Paul, railroad com
pany. 1t is claimed that the failure
will tie up over &6,0G0,9 900 Of deposits,
and the entire city was thrown into
such financial excitement as has not
been experienced there for many years.

fs'k,. Extra Session.


81. Paul Daily News.
Two weeks from today congress VIII
meet in extra session. Extra sessions
of congress have not been So very num-
erous in our history. The republic has
endured more than hundred years,
and this is only the twelfth extra call
ed since the establishment of the gov
eminent. Extra sessions were called
by Presidents Adams, jefferson and
Madison, and We're neceS5Itated by
critical relations with foreign cOun-
tries After the last war with Eng
land there was no extra session for
twenty three years, when President
Van Buren, called one to consider the
condition of the country in view Of
the suspension Of specie payments and
financial troubles generally. The first
President Harrison called an extra ses-
sion to consider the threatening con
ditIOn of the cOUntry'S finance and rev
enues. President Pierce called one III
1896 to provide an army appropriation
which had been refused at the regular
session, the refusal growing out of the
Kansas troubles. President Lincoln
called but one extra session, that of
July, 1861, to provide for the suppress
sion Of the Rebellion. President Hayes
called two extra sessions, one in Oc-
tober, 1877, and one III March, 1879,
both to provide appropriations which
failed at the regular sessions.
The extra session now called is per
haps the most important of any save
that called by President Lincoln tOput
down the Rebellion. There is no war
or foreign embodiment, but the indus
! tries of the country and the very
means Of support of the people are
threatened by the effects Of bad tinan
cial legislation. The approaching SEES
sion has it in its power to prolong the
agony or to start the country at once
upon a new career Of prosperity. May
| it choose wisely!

dropped dead in the midst OF the pray

minutes, then stopped and when he

At Salina, in Christ church, six cadets
of st. Johns school were confirmed by
Bishop Thomas. There has been a
marked and growing religious interest
manifested in the school since the begin

presented to the bishop.

Mr.. MacKnight, who being a relative
Of Brigham, dwelt at one time in the
Lion House, morning prayer was held
In the large family parlor. The
prophets bell would be heard re-
echoing through the long hallway as
the clock struck the hour and every
body was required to be present un-
less kept away by some good or suffi- .
Gent cause. 1t was a wonderful sight
to see flock Of ten or twelve chill
dren Of about the same age run to
his knees for the family salute and to
note how he had a kiss and playful
word for each. Among his wives and
children he was regarded with some
thing akin to awe, but an awe that
was accompanied by a profound re-
spect. All the wives addressed him
and spoke of him as Brother Brig
ham," The children of the various
wives mingled together like own
brothers and sisters and some Of the
strongest friendships in the family
grew up between the daughters or
the sons Of different wives.
Brigham died in 1877 in his 18th
year. He left a fortune Of $4,000
900, seventeen wives and flfty-six
children.

God had made a mistake and still re-
tanned his faith. Persecution in Mis-
souri, soon drove the saints to Illinois,
and at Nauvoo they established a
flourishing city. BY the close of the
1910 nearly 10000 Mormons were set
tied in and about Nauvoo. Brigham
had become President Of the Twelve
Apostles, while Smith was in the sey-
enth heaven of ecstasy over his sue
cess. Blind with triumph he an
nounced himself in 1874 candidate
for the Presidency of the United
States, and then followed his assas-
sination at Carthage. This brought
Brigham to the front and he became
the leader Of the movement
1t was critical time. An agita-
tion for the expulsion Of the Mormons
from Illinois had sprung up and per-
Secution was rife against them. Brig
ham began preparations for the exodus
which was inevitable The first Of a
band Of pioneers was dispatched to
open up the way to the Great Salt
valley. They established camps and
planted crops for the shelter and sup
port of the oncoming thousands.
Meantime the charter of Nauvoo had
been repealed by the Illinois Legisla-
ture, the city was bombarded and the
Mormons were forced out. In 1S47

the great bulk of the Mormons
reached the Great Salt valley. Brig
ham founded Salt Lake City and
pointed out to his people the SINH
larlty of their tribulation to that Of
the ancient Israelites, noting the nat
ural conflguration of the country,
which resembles that of Pales-
tine, as a proof of the divin-
ity that shaped their ends.
From that time Brigham was the
king of his people, the absolute ruler
of the colony. He established roads
through the mountains, built saw
mills and grist mills, perfected
schemes of irrigation and encour-
aged the growth Of cotton. In 1850
Utah was organized into Territory
and Brigham was appointed its Gov
ernor for four years. In 1862 Brig
ham proclaimed the celestial Flaw Of
marriage, sanctioning polygamy, and
as a consequence a new Governor
was appointed. Brigham defed the
Federal authority and said: al am
and will be Governor and no power
can hinder it until the Lord Al

Atchison Champion: The movement

possibility that IL will be crowned with
success this time. It is stated that if

Stockton and other towns will secure
the right Of way, the Missouri Pacific
will continue to build to Hill City and
perhaps to Colby. II extended to the
latter place the towns west of here
would have an outlet over both the

people of Rocks county have taken the
matter up, and with the assistance Of

BRIGHAM YOUNG century. writing
on this subject in Worthington's
Magazine j. A. MacKnight contrib
utes a very interesting sketch Of this
remarkable character who, in plant
ing a religion on the shores of the
Great Salt Lake, laid the corner
stone of development in the far
West.
Brigham Young was born in Whit
tingham, Vt, June /, 1901, He re-
ceived little education or religious
training and spent his early manhood
working as a farm hand, carpenter,
joiner, painter and glazler, When
% he married his first wife and five
years later moved to Monroe County,
New York, where he heard the story
of Joseph Smith, the founder of "The
Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day
Saints" This society was incorpor.
ated in 1880, and Brigham gave him
self up wholly to the new faith.
When persecution broke out against
the saints Smith removed his people
to Kirkland, Ohio, and Brigham ac-
companied them. The prophet rep
resented that che settlement at Kirt-
land had been made by the command
of God, but when persecution drove
the saints into Jackson County, Mis-
souri,, Brigham accepted the fact that
