A Personal Letter Correcting a Prevail
ent but False Impression.
EDITOR HERALD,

EDITOR HERALD,
Dear sir: | understand that some
adverse sentiment has been expressed in
your camp in reference to the Royal Mil
ling Company and its REX flour, I'M
featured in Great Falls. This sentiment
is that Neihart people should not patron
ize our concern, owing to the attitude of
Senator Washburn of Minnesota on the
silver question.
In justice to ourselves we wish to
state that Senator Washburn is in no way
connected with our house. In fact, he
belongs to the Pillsbury, Washburn Co.,
of Minneapolis, the bittcrest competitors
of the Washburn, Crosby Co., of which
latter firm the Royal Milling Co. is an
off-shoot. We desire that this matter be
Strengthened in the public mind, as we
feel that it has already caused us some
injury.
With a fair show, our REX flour will
sell in any market, and all we ask is that
it have a chance to demonstrate its mer-
it and superior quality as compared with
any flour made. We do not fear COM
p~arison.
Thanking you for this space and OPP

GEO. J.. MCGIBBoN, Neihart, Mont,
Dear sir: Any person, in favor of
restoring free bimetallic coinage in the
United states, and willing to cooperate
to this end, may become a member of
the American Bimetallic League by send
ing to the secretary his nam and adj
dress. The annual fee of 81 entities Il
member to all the publications of the
League. \ \
The silver question is admittedly the
paramount issue before the country at
this time, and it stands so related to ev-
erything else that nothing can be settled
till this is settled and settled rightly.
The first question for the people to de-
termine is whether they will carry on
business and pay debts and taxes by the
gold standard, with the knowledge be-
fore them that gold, as a money stand
are is constantly increasing in value, or
whether they will demand that the con
stitutional bimetallic standard shall be
restored. * x
While the Bimetallic League is itself
%nonpartisan, and is composed of men of
all parties, we nevertheless believe the
prosperity of our country and the sav-
ing of the homes of the people is of
far more importance than the u%pbuilding
or perpetuation of any political party as
such, and it is earnestly recommended
that the line of action marked out at the
recent conference held in Washington be
followed by all the Leagues, aud espec-
tally in the selection of members of the
54th Congress. y

STATISTICS OF THE STRIKE.
DR.. Nirnmo Presents Some REMARKABLY
Facts of the Recent Railroad Trouble.

DR.. Nimmo Presents Some Remarkable
Facts of the Recent Railroad Trouble.
Last night at the Columbian College DR..
Joseph Nimmo, ir., read before the National
Statistical Association paper on the com
mercial aspects Of the Insurrection OF 1894,
occasioned by the Pullman strike in the
Western States.
Hegave a vivid description Of the turbulent
scenes at Pullman and Chicago, and said the
strike covered an area extending from Ham
mond. Ind, to the Pacific coast. The con-
merce destroyed amounts to g. .0O0. .OO0, 900 a
year, exceeding even the damage done in
1861 caused by the secession Of the Southern
States.
DR.. Nimmo ridiculed the Idea that the
transportation of nail with certainty, celebrity
and security, as required in the government
contracts, required United States protection
more than interstate commerce. He further
denounced as immoral the attempts to compel
railroad companies and the general public
under duress 10 become parties 10 labor
strikes which do not concern them.
In conclusion, he said the late strike had
done more to retard than TO advance the labor
interests. and called attention TO the fact that
in the last thirty years railroad rates of wages
had advanced 60 per cent, while living eX-
penses had beon materially reduced.
resolution was adopted requesting DR..
Nimmo to present the ASSOCIATION copy Of
his paper, to De transmitted to the President
who, it is hoped. will mention the great strike
in his forthcoming message to Congress. he
being an honorary member OF the National
Statistical Association.

Divorced from a prunkard.

Mrs Blanche NJ. Lang, OF No. 1915 Rhode
Island avenue northwest, yesterday got rid
of a drunken husband. Judge Hagner
granted her a divorce and custody of her
child. They were married at st. Pauls Lu-
theran Church on juno %, 1888. She soon
discovered that he was addicted to the ex-
cessive use of spirits. In June, 1889, she
went to her mother in Virginia because he
was SO besotted that she could not live with
him. In August, the same year, he induced
her to return to Washington with him. In
March, 1890, they went abroad, returning in
September. Going and coming he was fire.
quently drunk on the steamer; also while at
Christiania, Norway, and Stockholm, Sweden,
he was at different times on sprees and
landed in the police station. In November,
1880, he was taken to the Hartford Hospital,
an inebriate asylum, and remained there three
months. During that time he got away and
went to New York, where he got drunk and
was arrested.

Four out of the first dozen talesmen called
In murder case before Judge Cole yesterday
were excused by reason of conscientious
scruples against capital punishment. The
trial was that of Henry Dosher and Casey
Brooks, both colored, charged with murder
ing Thomas Patterson, also colored, at Thir-
teen-and-a-half and d streets northwest on
March last
The first man to express convictions against
capital punishment was Eugene A. Atchison,
painter. He thought he could render an
impartial verdict, but was clearly opposed to
taking human life as penalty. After con-
siderable questioning Judge Cole told him II
he was opposed TO capital punishment be-
cause he believed it morally wrong he would
be excused, but if his opposition was based
upon belief that capital punishment was in
expedient he must serve. Atchison answered
promptly that he believed hanging or any
other form OF taking life as penalty for
crime was morally wrong, and he was as
promptly excused.
The next who was excused was Edward S.
Schmid, the bird dealer of No. 712 Twelfth
street. He grew somewhat confused under
the questioning as Judge Cole tried to put the
case so that he could accept the service, but
he was clear upon the point that his obiec-
tion was on moral grounds.
Thomas L. Ogram, the druggist. at No. 1211
Pennsylvania avenue northwest said he
thought punishment by death was wrong and
this belief would influence his judgment in
trying such case. and Bernard kopf held
similar views. Both were allowed to CO.

CHARGES Made Against Him.


Capt. II. 7. Brian. of the Government Print

or to admit the truth of the charges formu-
lated against him by the special inves tigating
committee Of the Interstate Democratic Asso-
citation.
Capt. Brian was seen at his Office yesterday.
''I have no statement to make" he said, an
swering an inquiry.
''Will you state whether or not you have re-
signed or are contemplating resigning?'
II do not care to answer that question
either.' Capt. Brian replied.
All the time Capt. Brian had been standing
near his desk nervously lingering document
in his hands. His handsome face was i'm
passive His manner quiet and easy He
gave the impression thar he thought the
charges had been made as q matter of course
and he was not disposed to mind them.

Inventors Right to a Patent.

Judge Cox yesterday decided in the case OF
Durham vs. the Commissioner of Patents,
that when an applicant in a patent case
comes into the equity court for relief he can
base his action only on such points in his
claim as he had not abandoned in his pre-
vious efforts to establish his right to patent.
He also decided that when the patentee of an
invention suddenly discovers that a device
which he introduced into an appliance for
one purpose also accomplishes with remark
able efficiency some other purpose in the
mechanism, he Is not therefore entitled to a
new patent.
