We have observed certain indications
with respect to the currency problem
with which the extraordinary session of
Congress must Grapple which are not
pleasing nor favorable to right and sat
isfactory settlement of that question.
With substantially unanimous agree
ment among Democrats in favor of the
repeal of the Sherman act, there is q
wide difference of opinion as to the action
which should follow. 1t is a case for
mutual concession, for temperate and
conservative counsel, and for a eompro-
mise Of conflicting opinion. 1t is known
and has always been known that Mr..
Cleveland is opposed to the free and UNI
limited coinage of silver at the present
ratio, and no Democrat has dreamed Of
attempting the passage of such meas
ure. Butassuredly very few Democrats,
and none of them who value the obi
cations of party promises, have ever
thought that they were to be asked to
give up silver coinage altogether, go at
once and forever to the sole gold stand
ard, aud repudiate every promise made
by the Democratic party for increasing
the volume of currency. We confess
that we do not like the confident, aggres-
sive, and uncompromising tone of the
gold monometallists. The growing ar
rogance and insolence with which they
treat every suggestion of mutual con-
cession the brutal frankness with which
they declare they will have no compro-
mise, and that they will have gold and
gold only as the standard and the money
of the country; the cool effrontry with
which they demand that their program
shall take precedence over the Demo
cratic platform; these indications are
not signs of peace nor Of a satisfactory
settlement of the question. These AFRO
CANT monometallists are complicatine
the trouble and piling up difficulties il
the way of the repeal of the Sherman
act. The Democratic party can not &C
cept the Wall street policy without self
qualification, and without bringing upor
itself the charge of having betrayed tn,
peoples trust and made a mockery O
its own platform. 1t can not do so with
out inviting the fierce, bitter, and over
wheIming wrath of the people. 1t mus

The leaders of the Democratic part
should take firm stand against the ag

narrowly averted Wednesday fore

was in the roof of the kitchen, and

After All.

The waters of Lake Calhoun fur
nished a moderate sensation yesterday
afternoon while the Lurlines were
matching their crews. and for time
excitement ran high. The event which
caused the furore was the upsetting of
one of the shells in the junior double.
while the crews were using every
muscle, and were sending the fraIl
crafts down the stretch like cata-
pultS. A fair crowd had as
sembleJ at the club houses on
the varandas while the shores were
lined with people. The first contest
was between two junior doubles, Tom
lnson and Kerr forming one crew, ana
Earle and Mackay the second. A Splen-
did start was secured, and the two crews
went down the course about even. Earle
and Mackay. made the most Sklllfull
turn, and were the first to get
their arrow pointed shell turned
sQuarely about. Kerr and Tomlln.
son came closely behind ana were
not far behind on the home stretch
when they began to lose the beauty of
their stroke. Kerr finally lost his oar,
and the mighty sweep of Tomlinson
sent the narrow craft over like top,
and, with terrific splash, two pair OF
heels disappeared under the surface. A
shrek of fright from the feminine
portion of the crowd added TO
the general excitement, and
half-dozen boats put off TO the rescue.
Although the unlucky crew were sew
eral hundred yards from shore, they
manifested no uneasineSs, and, although
somewhat Winded, were none the worse
for their ducking when pulled into the
rOWboatS. TomlinSon subsequently
jumped overheard and swan hundred
yards to the boat house.
A senior single followed the spoiled
contest, and the contestants were Brown
VS.. Burlington. The race was pretty
one from the start, and the boats kept
well together. Brown made squirt at
the finish and won the mile in q min
utes and % seconds, by a length. The
junior four between the assorted
crews was entertaining to say the
least, and, considering the fact
that one of the shells was
out of order, the race was we'll made.
The crews were as follows: Earle.

by bad rudder Earle's men won by a

The prettiest race of the evening. and
the most exciting by reason of the we'll
matched crews, was between the senior
fours. The disabled shell was used by
Landen, Herr, Burlington and Brown,
the former bow and the latter stroke.
The opposing crew was composed of
Grosskotf, stroke: Libby, bow, Taylor
and Daniels. The finish was close and
exciting, the latter crew winning by
less than hall length. Time. 5:35.

was called to order. The first
business taken up was communication
from the journal, asking that the 800
which the paper had been giving as a
prize each year TO the scholar of the
central hign school having the best
standing at the end of the year be
equally divided between the four high
schools, and also asking that the
prizes be engraved medals instead
OF the cash. The reading of this
communication caused uncompliment-
airy remarks from several of the board
on the subject of prize giving. Mr..
Rolfe openly declared against allowing
prizes given pupils of the schools. He
said that the practice had, in the past,
caused more trouble than anything else,
and that the board had just gone
through row that had interfered
with the work of the board itself.

the matter up again. After amending
the motion to read cash instead OF med

while g young man by the name
of George Smith received second place
with all average Of rs per cent. The
recommendation of the committee to
Loren Fletcher, the congressman from
this district. was couched in the follow
ing language: flames Monroe, having

1t now looks as though the last will be
first. 1t appears that there is question
as to the residence of Monroe. His
parents reside on farm near Lake
City, it is alleged, and he. only
makes Minneapolis his home dur
ing the school year. At any rate,
the recommendations of the eX-
amining board have been reversed,
and it is believed that Smith has been
recommended to the war department.
Smith has always lived in Minneapolis,

eligibility on that score. John Day

GOOD JUDGE, PooR JUROR
A Little Joke Indulged in by Dis
tinguished Lawyers.
Youths Companion.


Youths Companion.
Although judges and lawyers are
often capital story-tellers on social ocea-
sions, in court it seems to be generally
out Of keeping TO mingle fun with grave
judicial matters. Now and then, how
ever, staid joke will pop out in the
court room and cause merriment.
Some years ago i'll Lockport, in the
supreme court one day when Judge
Barker was presiding, one juryman was
absent from his seat. but the other
chairs were occupied. A dog who
strayed into the court room looking for
his master, quietly jumped into the va
cant place and made himself comfort
able there, upon whichithe judge, ad-
dressing a. 2. Lanning, of Buffalo,
said gravely:
''YoU See, Mr.. Lanning, that the jury
mems seats are now all occupied. Are
you ready to proceed?"
The distinguished pleader raised his
glasses to his eyes, and after a brief, but
comprehensive survey 'of the juryboX,
he replied as graYely as he had been
addressed:
Your Honor, that fellow might do for
Judge, but l should hate to trust him
for juryman."
The good natured Judge joined heart
lily in the merry laugh that followed
this sally, and proved that he could take
as we'll as give joke.

WANT STATEHOOD,

Under Present Conditions, the
= Chickasaws Claim the Whites
Will Crowd Them Out
Tahequah Special to Kansas City Times.
From a gentleman just in from the
Chickasaw nation the Times corre-
spondent learns that much interest is
being manifested in the coming OF the
statehood commission. A mass meet
ing of citizens has just been held, at
which May 2 was named as the date for
the holding of a big meeting at Fish
mingo for the purpose Of mapping out a
course to be pursued by the ChcKasaw
legislature at Its next regular session.
One OF the reasons given for favoring
allotment and statehood is set forth in
the fact that their country, like that of
the CherOkeeS, is fast becoming monop-
oliZed by the whites, there being now
not less than twenty whites to one In
dian. The lease system of the nation is
constantly redounding to the interests
Of the whites. and it is claimed that in
pany cases where the leases have been
extended for year or more, with the
privilege of renewing for a longer
period. the improvements as we'll as the
lands will ultimately become the prop
erty of the lessee. Before statehood
can come. however, there will be in
terminable questions, the main one
being, Who are citizens? which arises
from change i'll the marriage laws.
Others are ownership of the mining
leases granted by the legislature, the
land rentals where the white man has
complied with the law regarding i'm
provements and the town lot leases.
This action OH the part of the Chicka-
saws has thrown bombshell in the
ranks of the Cherokees, who have been
hopeful all along of securing con fer
ence with their brethren before any
definite steps were had toward sta te-
hood. Ex-Chief Bushyhead, when seen
with reference to the matter, doubted
that it was the intention of the Chicka-
saws to bring about statehood, although
he acknowledged that the Chickasaws,
like the Creeks, had been leaning that
way for years. He thought better
plan would be to organize state of
their own, before the United States in
terfered, and shape things up to suit
themselves. Bushyhead and Senator
Bell both think that by forming a fed

Yesterday was field day for the

themselves over to the local committee

The party left the union, depot at 9:45
O'clock over the Great Northern. Six

their own discretion.
Inc programme for the day included
ride over the Great Northern to Way

taken for ride to the head of the lake.
Lunch was partaken Of at Hotel del

during which brief stops were made at
the Lake Park and Lafayette hotels, the
party returned to WayZata to take the
train for Minneapolis, reaching here in
time to take dinner at the West.

DIDN'T GET 1T.
a Boston Man Fails to Recover
His Child.

A writ of habeas corpus brought
George Footwinkler, a well-to-do
farmer of Edna for many years, into
the district court, and with him came
Myrtle A. Barnes. pretty little fair
haired child, with great blue eyes and
bright face. The cause for their
presence in the court room was the COM
plant of the father of the child, who
lives in Boston. and who came here to re-
cover possession of the daughter by his
1irSt wife, who was the daughter of the
father of the defendant. About year
ago the court was obliged to pass upon
the same matter, Judge Smith giving the
grandfather possession of the child until
such time as the father could show that
he had provided suitable home for the
little one. Having been married lately
IL Boston. he at once came to this city
to secure possession of his child.
Judge Hooker listened to considerable
evidence in the case from the petitioner,
and without any evidence for the de-
Tense the motion was dismissed, and the
grandfather was given possession. The
court stated that it was necessary to be
more careful than usual in the selec-
tion of the guardian for the child, for
the reason that if the father took pos
session the child would go out Of the
jurisdiction of the court.
