NO MONOPOLY on IGNORANCE.

The Madison Sentinel, commenting
on a recent article in The REPUBLI-
oAN relative to New York bankers
ideas on 'l6 to l." says:
.'Well, bankers have no monopoly on
the ignorance prevalent in this country
on the money question. A prominent
politician in this county has been advo-
csting the free coinage of silver "l6 to
|" because he says that means l6 ounces
of silver to one dollar. Now, how
would you like to draw your salary in
coin of those dimensions?

aEN,L sILsBy,s CANDIDACY.

A week ago this paper announced
the candidacy of Gen. Geo. A. Silsby
for the position OF United States senator
and we have noted the comments there
on from state exchanges. We publish
elsewhere in this issue few of them
which fairly represent the various
opinions thus expressed. With very
few exceptions, his candidacy is being
treated fairly by the press, notwith-
standing the doubtful and non-commit.
tai position which many OF them as
sumo. We are ready to admit that, by
reason of no aggressive campaign hav-
ing been made by any opponent of Sen
ator Pettigrew at an earlier date, there
has been sort OF tacit concession that
he would be elected, by many who were
not at heart Pettigrew men.
But we do not admit that the cam
paign was fought on the issue of Mr..
Pettigrew being returned. The issues
OF the Yankton convention were OF a
broader significance and The shibboleth
OF the party was not Pettigrew, but it
was protection, industrial revival and
public confidence. The legislative
contest, which Populism and Demo-
cracy conspired to win, was waged by
the Republicans on the proposition
that Republican must be chosen to
the United States senate and that the
incubus which had injured the fair
names OF Kansas and Colorado must be
warded off. These were the issues on
which the Republicans won, and it is
rank presumption to say that Senator
Pettigrew was the issue We go it
on the plan that the Republican party is
greater than any one man. The sena-
tor has done good work and we would
not wish to discredit it, but that there
is any code of ethics or politics that
makes it presumptuous for. an equally
capable, but less domineering, citizen
to announce his candidacy, we deny
though this is the position taken by
some two or three newspapers with
whom the election of Pettigrew has
been the only issue for the last six
months.
The generous mention of Gen. Silsby
as candidate for 1896, by those who
cannot support him in 1891, is crafty
ing, and may be taken as a recognition
of his fitness for promotion in this di-
rection, though his present action has
no connection with such possibility.
But we shall see what we shall see as
to the outcome at Pierre next month

When the strikers appeared they made
threats against the men, attempting to
drive them away, and fight ensued.
The men in hiding appeared on the
scene and the miners, finding them
selves outnumberod, started to run. At
least 200 shots were fired, and it il
known that one man, a striker, was

Presk Comments.

Aberdeen News: IHE MITCH ELL
REPUBLICAN of Sunday announced the
candidacy OF Gen. Geo. A. Silsby for
the United States senate to succeed Mr..
Pettigrew. Mr.. Silsby is an old and
respected resident OF the state, and
every American citizen has the inherent
right to become candidate at any time
for anything he pleases. Nevertheless,
the fact remains that this is Mr.. Petit
CREWS year. He has already fought
the fight and won it, and it would be a
peculiar code of ethics which would
now deprive him of the spoils of victory.
Besides, the people have said as en-
phatically as could we'll be imagined
that they desire that MIR. Pettigrew
shall serve them in the United States
senate for another six years. At the
same time, since Mr.. Silsby has seen fit
TO become candidate. he or any other
persons who may follow his example
are entitled to fair treatment-the in
dications are that that is the utmost
they can expect rs result OF their can
didacy.
Yankton Press and Dakotan Gener-
ii George A. Silsby, of Mitchell, is an
nounced by the MITCHELL REPUBLI-
CAN as candidate for Senator Petit
CREWS seat. 1t is little late in the day
to bring forward even so excellent a
gentleman as General Silsby and it is
furthermore somewhat out of the usual
that the candidate is advanced by q
county which elected solid populist
ticket. Perhaps the distinction OF hay.
ing been suggested as senator wiz
satisfy General Silsby this time, giving
him, as it may, half hitch for the nex'
pull. Just now the senatorial issue is
irrevocably settled in Mr.. Petit CREWS
favor. When it comes to question be-
tween Silsby and Kyle it will be in order
to think about it.

PUBLICAN announces Gen. George a

we shall be glad any time TO see HIN
honDred, but it seems TO US that the cir
Gums tances just now are hardly propi
tious. There has been but one promi
nent figure in the Republican party al
this year for that position. and while Il
is true that there are Republicans VINO
would have preferred to see the sentl
ment shaping differently. it is equal )
true that it is not 80 shaped, and al
careful observers are convinced ina
Mr.. Pettigrew is sure winner. Iw(
wears from now there will be a free-for
all race. and those who start in now Il
beat Mr.. Pettigrew are, at the best
simply entering for that race.

BEST KIND OF MONEY.
The Carlisle Currency Bill Is Brought
Up in the House For
Discussion.
SPRINGER MAKES A SPEECH,
In Which He Outlines the Merits Of
the Measure---Walker Leads the
Opposition.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Nothwith-
stading the fact that the debate on the
currency bill was scheduled to begin in
the house, loss than 100 members re-
sponded when Speaker Crisp dropped
the gavel, and the attendance in the
public galleries was very light. The
committee on rules had prepared a spe.
cial order under which the house should
operate, but had decided in view of
Democratic opposition to the measure,
not to offer it at present. but to allow
Mr. Springer to call up the bill by
virtue of its privilege. Immediately
after the call of committees for reports,
therefore, the chairman of the banking
and currency committee moved that
the house go into committee OF the
whole for consideration Of the meas
ure. His motion prevailed without di.
vision, and Mr.. Richardson (Dem.,
Tenn. took the chair.
Gave Notice of a Substitute.
Mr.. Walker (Rep., Mass in charge
of the opposition to the measure, gave
notice that at the proper time he would
offer a substitute.
Mr.. Springer, before entering upon
his argument, attempted to effect an
arrangement by unanimous consent,
for setting the limits of debate. He
asked that general debate should be
considered closed on Saturday next,
when the holiday recess would be
taken.
Mr.. Walker protested against any
arrangement at this time. He said he
felt convinced that no member would
discuss this measure in any other than
serious vein. The subject was too
grave. 1t could not be trihed with.
MIR. springer's Remarks.
The attempts to reach an agreement
having failed, Mr. Springer took the
floor and delivered the opening speech
in favor of the currency bill. The
great Importance of the pending meas
ure, he began, could not be more effect
lively emphasized than by referring to
the report Of the comptroller of the
currency, which showed that last year
there were 100000 depositors in ma
tional banks, having capital stock ag-
gregating 81, o69, 900, 900. Their deposits
amounted to 1920, 100000.
Mr.. Springer declared that the com.
mittee had given the subject the most
careful consideration. 1t had carefully
examined the recommendations of the
president and the secretary of the treas
ury; had called before it some of the
ablest financiers of the country, and
the result had been the presentation Of
| the present measure as O
Measure of Financial Reform.
He did not pretend to say that the bll
represented the views of the individual
members of the committee. 1t was {
compromise, and as such harmonizet
fairly the views of all.
Mr.. Springer then went on to detail
the scheme Of the bill, reviewing mucl
of the ground covered in his report
which has been printed.

MILWAUKEE, Dec. 19.-In the Chi

Cromwell, appearing for the defend.
ant, set up the somewhat sensational
claim that the Chicago and Northern
Pacific mortgage, covering an issue of
nearly $50. 900, 900, is absolutely void.
He contended that the mortgage could
not be foreclosed, and was not sure
that the bondholders could recover on
their bonds, which it was stated would
be the only recourse left for them if the
mortgage was invalidated. This pleas
ant surprise to the bondholders was
found on the claim that the Farmers
Loan and Trust company has invali-
dated its acts by neglecting to comply
with the laws of the state Of Illinois.

of formal recognition Of the Hawaii ~
