Senator HansbrOugh, of North Dakota,
who hns made a special stndy of the silver
problem. in n recent interview savs that if
the war between Japan and China is pro-

further advantage of being nearest tr the

Kent Captured.

Fargo Forum: A detective passed
through Fargo this morning accompanied
by Kent, of whom it is said:
Myron r. Kent, formerly a real estate
agent at Mrndan, N. D., was arrested in
Minneapolis charged with completely in
murder of his wife. The arrest was made
by Detective Walter Ehrlichnan, of the
Minneapolis police department.. The
alleged crime was committed March IL,
1894, and Immediately afterward Kent
fled, going to Arlington, COL, several
months ago. Since his arrival there he
has been working As a common laborer in
a railroad section gang.
The story of the murder of Mrs. k-nt
has never been fully told. During the
day, before she was shot bv the hired man,
the latter and her husband spent the day
in drinking, and it is illeged the scheme
of murder was Matched up between them.
After their return home to the farm where
they we're living. about two miles from
Mandan, Kent left for Bismarck, and at
one of the hotels engaged o and board
for his family for several months, saying
he intended to move. After this arrange
ment with the landlord he went away and
was never seen again.
At home on the farm during the night
the hired man awoke Mrs. Kent about
midnight, saying there were burglars in
the house. He tool a gun which was in
the house and rushing through the room
in which Mrs. Kent was to intercept the
robber, as he claimed, he shot Mrs. Kent
by accident, but her son. q lad of Il years
or 30, who saw the tragedy, testified that
he thought tho shooting was intentional.
The hired man, it is understood. late: con-
fessed to q conspiracy to murder. He ia
still in Jail awaiting trial on a charge of
murder.
Nothing was heard of Kent for a long
time, but he was at last located ON a farm
in Nebraska, where he was laboring as a
hired man. An officer was sent from
Nebraska to arrest him, but he escaped
somehow, but detectives have been on his
trail most of the time. :
Mrs. Kent was a MISS Laird of Mime
apolis, and her relatives and son. are living
in Minneapolis.
LATER.
A telegram this afternoon from Man.
dan states that Kent ia en- route to Man
dan in custody of Sheriff Blngenheimer of
Morton county. The telegram also state
that Kent's accomplice, swendensky-the
hired man is in jail, and suficientevidence
has been obtained to secure the convic-
ton of both the men on the charge OF
murder. 1t is said. that a confession has
been obtained from swidepsky.

Mandan Pioneer: Down in Mime
apolis the other day, n man who is close
in the councils of 500 road business, was
asked what likelihood there was of the
500 being built to Bismarck on the grade
already made, during the year 1895. The
answer was that that depended altogether
on circumstances If at the coming
election the state gives evidences of be-
ing still premeated largely by populistic
notions, then the management of tile
rOad will take no steps to secure the funds
with which to build the road. They will
do nothing for two reasons. First be-
cause it will be practically impossible to
secure the money to put into a railroad in
q populistic state, and secondly because
the management . not desire to be re-
sponsible for expenditures made in a
stats whore c~onfsications and anarchlstlc
principles are rampant.
There IS nothing til, 1t this part Of tn
state needs more than now railroads. Our
stock interests and coal interests demand

country through which the new 500 road
will run between Bismarck and Aberdeen

other way for that section of country to

the parties interested in that road-the
mon who must build it-see.tha this state

pie in it, who are willing that capital as

A UBLIC YEAR.

This is n Republican year. The con-
vention at Grand Forks settled that ques-
tin, az t. tho future complexion of the
state polite. for the next two years when
tho. placed in nomination some of the
very best men in the state to lead the
Republican party to victory.
The Republicans can win honestly.
There is no crooked work needed or want
ed. 'Straight as n string is a good
watchword and honesty in politics as in
all other matters of public concern, is the
best policy.
Mclean county is Republican md viii:
cast a large majority vote for the Repub-
lican state ticket, and with any degree of
fairness, will elect every man on the Re-
publican county ticket. But We want
honesty and fairness. In a few days the
Republican county central committee will
meet in Washburn and issue q call for al
early county convention. Primary con-
ventiOns will be held at tho various places
named by the committee and it will be
hoped Republicans will attend their pri-
mary meetings in force, and get a general
expression throughout the country. But
let none but Republicans attend. Here
tofore there has been to much of the
Tammany methods of certain parties take
ing part in primaries of both party calls
in the past, and rs thore will now DO three
tickets in the field some fraudulent prac-
tices may be attempted. That everybody
can understand the law on the subject we
publish the following from the Statutes:
PROXIES.
CHAPTER 112.
REGULATION OF USE OF PROXIES IN coNvEN-
5 l. WHAT PROXIES UNLAWFUL 1t is
hereby made unlawful for II person to
use or attempt to use the proxy of any
delegate elected to any state, district or
county convention, of a political character,
unless he holds his legal residence within
the same political subdivision which is
recognized IA a unit of representation in
the convention II which the proxy is used
or sought to be used.
s {. PENALTY. Any person violating
the provisions of this act is guilty of a
misdemeanor, and upon conviction there
of shall be fined not less thar twenty (2O)
dollars, or be confined in the county Jail
not less than ten days, or both, at the
dissertation OF the court.
Approved March 20, 1890.
The above is plain and it il the inten-
ton of honest citizens to see that 1t is en-
forced. The tricky methods of small bore
politicians running into conventions with
proxies from precincts that had no desire
for representation, or, in other words, had
no representatives that desired a repre-
sentatiOn in said convention, should not.
as heretofore, have a cooked up proxy or
proxies to use against honest expressions
of the peoples will in county affairs.
There are now three distinct state tickets
in the field and there are three distinct
county committees in this county each
representing its party and citizens will
have a chance of identifying themselves
with any one party and only one party.
Take your choice and be honest about it.
In the New York Trihune of recent date.
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1894-09-08

In the New York Tribune of recent date,
Roswell G. Horr presents one of the clear
est and ablest of articles on the money
question. The article is based on the de-
mands of the fiat money cranks for a
practically unlimited coinage, and is a
convincing argument for sound currency.
Mr.. Horr says:
Experience shows this and nothing
more: That our government can issue a
limited amount of notes. payable on de-
mand, and keep such notes at par RIO long
perience also shows that when the amount
ls 40 large that the government fails to re-
deem them on presentation such notes fall
below par. A government might issue
$6O,OO0,OOO of such notes and keep them
good, when it could do nothing of the kind
with ten times that mount. A man worth
$4,000 might issue promissory notes of
800 each to the amount of $1,000, and
those notes might all remain good. His
we'll known ability to pny that amount
would give people confidence in his
promise. Let it be once understood, how
over, that there are 10000 of such notes
out against him, and those notes will in
stantly fall below par. Because a govern
ment can ISSUE a limited amount of
promises to pay and keep it good, it by
no means follows that it can do the SAM
thing with an unlimited. amount.
The Populist writer. nowhere indicates
how much Of such money can be Issued
by a government, and be kept good. I
assert that the amount is limited. Does
he deny this! If not, why did he not
name the limitation? Or does he. believe
that the government can Issue money
payable in nothing, and that, too, without
any limitations as to. time and amount,
and yet that such stuff will begood money
rs long as it exists! A Populist may
believe such q thing possible. l do not.
People earn money by all kinds of
labor. Men who mine gold and silver
furnish the world with substances which
have been used Tor ages as money. The
government coins those substances for
the purpose of showing the quantity and
quality of each piece. The people
furnish the metal out of which the coins
are made. BY the process of coming, the.
government. greatest nothing.
Money is used to facilitate exchanges.
People make money BY producing the ar
ticles out of which money is made, or by
producing the articles that can be sx-
changed for money. When a man gives
his note for 800 in exchange for a horse,
the man lie worth no more than before he
bought the horse. if $l00 is the fair valoe
of the animal. He has the horse, but he
OWES It's lull value. When the government
issues u greeELack or y bona, no value
has been created by the TRANSACTION. The
