Newspaper Laws.

DR.. Tuckerman, editor of the Work

to collect and compile the decisions of
The United States court on this subject

the result of his Investigations. the TO

correct
l. Subscribers who do not give *
press notice tn the contrary are con-
Sidered wishing to renew their sub
cription.
2. If the subscriber orders the dis
continuance of their periodical the
publisher may continue to send them
until all arrearageS are paid.
3. If subscribers, neglect or refuse
to take their periodicals from the office
to which they are directed, they are re-
syonsible until they are directed, they
are responsible until they have settled
their bills and ordered them discon-
tinued.
4. If subscribers move to other
places without iniormiRgthe publisher
and the papers sent TO the former ad-
doess, they are held responsible.
5. The courts have decided that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the of
fee or removing and leaving them un-
called for, is prima facie evidence of
evidence of Intentional fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advace they
are bound to give notice at the eBd of
the time, if they do not wish to con

scriber will be responsible until an ex

The latest postal laws are such that
newspaper publishers can arrest n
one'for fraud who takes a paper and
refuses to pay for it. Under this law
the man who allows his subscription to
run along for some time unpaid and
then orders it discontinued, or orders
the postmaster to mark it refused
and have a postal card sent notifying
thepublisher, leaves himself liable to
arrest and fine, the same as for theft.

Murdered a Montana Man.

A special to the Spokesman-Re-
view from Sand Point, Idaho says
August Bong, a Swede, 45 years old
was found on the flat, lying beside a
fence near a house occupied by kittie
Mack, cyprian, in an unconscious
condition. He was carried up town
to a saloon and efforts made to revive
him. DR.. Leiberg, of Hope, was
called in and at once pronounced the
case hopeless, saying there was every
symptom of morphine poisoning
Late in the afternoon the man died
without having at any time regaineo
consciousness. Bong came from
Nixon, Mont, three or four days ago
where he had been making ties. II,
had sl3G in money when he reached
here, but when found IA small piec,
of silver was all there was on his per
son. He has no relatives in this par
of the country.

GAUNTLET IS DOWN.
Senator Blackburn of Kentucky De-
fines His Financial Faith.

In an interview published in the
Courier Journal, Saturday last, Sen
ator Blackburn in unmistakeable
terms outlines his position on the sill
yer question, and boldly throws down
the gauntlet to his opponents for
similar candor on the same subject.
With his usual aggressiveness, the
senator almost dares his opponents to
meet him on the issue he represents
and it may be assumed the issue will
be promptly accepted. Senator
Blackburn has written a statement
of the position on which he expects
to stand or fall in the senatorial race.
He declares his position as follows:
eff have not heretofore shown any
disposition to be interviewed by the
daily papers of this city, it has not
been because of my purpose to con-
ceal from the people my views on
any public question, but because !
was anxious to avoid, if possible, the
perv version and distortion to which
my utterances have generally been
subjected.

ton. For the last 20 years, in con
gress and on the stump, anywher

China Agrees.

An imperial edict has been issued
authorizing Ii Hung Chang to sign
the terms of peace in accordance
with the japanese ultimatum. The
indemnity to be paid by China is
200, 100000 taels. The edict further
authorizes Ii Hung Chang to grant
possessions of Liao Tung peninsula
on the 10th degree of latitude, and
the island Of Formosa to the Japan
ese; also to consent to the opening
of Pekin and four new ports to
commerce, and giving the japanese
power to open cotton factories and

But He's Solid For Silver.

Judge Samuel Mcconnell, who re-
Gently resigned the presidency of
the Iroquois club, of Chicago owing
to his avowsl of a strong belief in
free silver, announced this afternoon
the withdrawal of his resignation.
In an interview Judge Mcconnell
said that he had found that his stand
for free silver would not necessitate
his resignation, and that he had found
the members of the club perfectly
willing that he should hold the pres
! idency with all his free silver views.

doors.
You have my permission to use
this letter in the club, in the press
or any where else, for [ stand by the
subject matter it contains. Very
truly yours, WM. MUELLER.
The letter in full is quite lengthy
and will be read at Tuesday nights
meeting. The above abridgement
contains such parts of it as might
interest the people at large. All in
all, it is a soulful letter, and in its
every statement portrays the inner
character of the great hearted man
man that penned it.
We have also decided to publish
the letter of Mr.. Michaelis as its con-
tents are highly interesting in this
juncture. The Chicago Freie Presse
the great German American bimet-
allistic paper has mailed the follow
ing letter to the secretary of the
New York Gold Club:
CALVIN ToMK1Ns ESQ,
Secretary "Reform Club"
Dear Sir: l received your letter
but can not use the so-called "sound
currency" reading matter offered by
you. For the Freie Presse, founded
by me twenty-five years ago, holds:
/. That gold and silver have been
honest money, since humanity has Il
history.
=. That the increase of the earth's
population, the gradual extension of
civilization on former barbarous nat
ions and the development of agri-
culture, industry and commerce are
causing growing demands on the
money market and that therefore the
demonetization of one of the metals,
used for the coinage of money, is en-
tirely illogical.
3. That the demonetization of one
of the two metals will decrease the
hard cash of the earth about $4,000
100000 or one half, and will make
the remaining half twice as valuable
and twice as dear.
4. That the assertion, the ratio Of
gold to silver could not be maintain
ed is an empty excuse; because for
200 years from 1857 to 1879 the
ratio has never been lower than | to
1925 and never been higher than |
to l4.14, a change Of only about II
per cent. within 300 years, and that
only the demonetization of silver
since 1878 caused the heavy decline
in its price.
g. That it is therefore our duty to
fight for the restoration of silver to
its old rights.
Yours truly,
Il. MICuAELIS.

GREAT HEAD.
Nicaragua Ahead of the United
States in General DiplO-
matte Ability.
She KNOWS A THING OR TWO
She Calls England's Big Bluff
But Displays Good Self
Possession.

1t is reliably stated that Nicaragua
has replied to Great Britain's ulti-
matum. 1t is in the nature of a
counter proposal and is not direct
acceptance or rejection of the Brit
ish demands, and as such it is not
known whether Great Britain will ac-
cept it as responsible to her ultima
tum which made three demands:
First A money indemnity of f15,-
500 sterling for alleged personal in
juries to British subjects, inclu ling
British Consul Hatch. Second-A
revocation of the declaration of BAN
ishment against subjects. Third
The formation of commission to
decide by arbitration the damage
done to property of British subjects
expelled from Nicaragua. The ulti-
matum contained no limit of time,
but in subsequent note the Earl OF
Kimberly stated the answer to the
ultimatum would be expected within
seven weeks after February 2G. The
seven weeks were up on the l6 OF
this month and Nicaragua's is in two
parts. To England's second demand
the answer says that Nicaragua, even
before receiving the British com
munication, had revoked the decree
of banishment. To the first and
third demands that in order to pre-
serve friendly relations with her ma
jesty's government and with the pur-
pose of ia rness and justice, Nicar.
aqua proposes that all questions Of
the payment of indemnity for per
sonal injury, injury to property, etc.
be referred to an impartial commits
sion of arbitration. The foregoing
is regarded as most diplomatic ans
wer. 1t comedies Nicaragua's will
ingness to adjust all differences anc
yet courteously suggests that elo,
500 demanded as an ex-parte esti
mate and the whole question Of th'
amount of damages should be left t.
arbitration. Great Britain's answe
to the counter proposition is awaite'
with interest, but Nicaragua's answe
is so pacific in character that it i
believed the snbject has ceased t.
have warlike aspect, and that di
plomacy will adjust the remainin!
details.

and persstently insisted upon the
restoration of the silver metal to that
place in the money system of the
country which it always held prior to
the passage of that disastrous act of
demonetizaton in 1873. Upon this
subject | have never held an opinion
or made an Inference that ! have in
the slightest degree altered or modi-
fled in all these years.
"Yet, if there are still any unin-
formed who desire to know my views
| will reiterate them in the shortest
space possible by saying | am in ia
vor Of opening the mints of the
country to the unlimited coinage of
silver metal on an equality with the
coinage of gold. l am opposed to
monometallism, and Just as much
opposed to silver monometallism:
without reservation | am bimetallist
| want, and mean to continue to in
sist upon, the use of both metals on
even terms as the redemption money
of this country. l am opposed to
this government waiting for any in
ternational conference to act. Our
experience with such agencies has
not been such as to give us either
confidence or hope of the attainment
of this purpose.
'Daniel Webster declared the
constitution of the United States
made gold and silver the redemption
money of the country, and that nei-
ther congress nor any state had any
rightful power to substitute any
other, nor to destroy either the one
or the other of these metals. If con-
gress had the power to demonetize
silver, it had the same power to de-
monetize gold. If they could strike
down half they could strike down all
81 am in favor of the restoration
of the silver metal at the ratio of lC
to 1. believing, in the light of al
experience that covers century
that such ratio will establish ant
maintain permanently the parity be-
tween the two metals"
Senator Blackburn's interview has
called forth an editorial from the
Evening Post, calling upon Secre
tary Carlisle to come out and answe
the senator. The Post says: "Sena
tor Blackburn's challenge to the ad
ministration, and to the friends o
the administration, is challeng,
which Mr.. McCreary cannot meet
and which must be met by the gen
tleman from Kentucky who is by in
vitation of Cleveland, secretary O
the treasury. 1t should have beer
met before. Under the defiance o
Blackburn and Proctor Knott the
silence of the secretary savors to-
much of timidity. The fight for sounc
principles, for reason, for democrac.
} must be made, and made before tn
r meeting of the state convention IL
June.
Hard money democrats have wait
ed for Carlisle to speak; he is tn
natural leader in this contest, and h
} cannot open the campaign too soor
nor put into it too much of the fight
: ing qualities. The crisis is upon tn
democratic party in Kentucky an
it cannot be averted.,,

TAYL0R'S BAD WORK
Il Has Caused An Awful Middle in SOu'h
Dakota.
HE LEFT WITH LOTS OF CASH
The Brokers OF New York We're
Terribly Shocked When They
Heard Of His Defalcations
The state Stands Well.

ST. PAUL, Jan. lO-A special from
Pierre, ). d.. says: The attorney general
has brought suit on the bond of Treasurer
Taylor. 1t is understood that the bond
will be contested. 1t is believed
Taylor is in hiding in tho East. Il is
known that ho had, when he left here,
fully quarter of million in cash. and
he could have drawn in New York $780,
600. Ii is believed that he has certain
confcderates who arc keeping him ad-
vised of the proceedings here.
\ strong attempt is being made here to
throw doubt on the validity of the bonds
and it is suspected that the plan is TO
force the state into compromise with
the bondsmen for n moderate sum. and
then, when a settlement Is completed and
Taylor is promised immunity, he will
make good the losses OF the bondsmen.
The state officials are making strenuous
efforts to raise sufficient cash to keep the
various state Institutions running, and a
peremptory call for taxes is expected to-
produce enough to tide over the difficulty,
but the state auditor feels positive that
South Dakota must default on the bond
interest duo in January. Meanwhile
every effort is being made to apprehend
Taylor.
WV i'NN' jan A'' 4 tcaAuShe NouHOi
of tho Chase National bank of this city
says tho statement that his bank holds
$4,000 of South Dakota warrants !s in
correct. The official account of the state
cashier of South Dakota has been kept
with his bank and the state warrants
were made payable At this bank. lie says
no doubt the holders of warrants are per-
fectly secure, as they arc legally issued
and signed by tho governor.
The news of Taylor's defalcation was n
great shock TO the brokers of this city who
are interested in western securities. Ow-
ing TO the excellent financial condition OF
tho state of South Dakota, very little anx
ioty is felt here among the interested
parties over Taylor's defalcation.

SILVER'S SUN Is RISING
There's a Strong Probability Of Some
thing Being Done for 1t.
DURING THIS SESSION, TOO
Under the Eaves OF the White
House There Is Being Hatched
New Scheme Which VIII
Make Some Concessions.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Notwithstand-
ing the reverses suffered 10y the Carlisle
currency bill in the house yesterday there
is to be no abandonment of tho effort to
secure currency legislation. \ new bill
having tho executive approval will be in
troduced in about two weeks. Ii is prob
able that Springer will not direct tho
course of the measure, as the desire will
be TO urge it along new lines and with new
leaders.
This general plan is the result of a care
ful survey of the situation by those in a
position TO inaugurate policies. 1t will be
a surprise, however, TO most of the demo-
cratic members, as tho opinion is general
that the work of yesterday closes all pros
poets of currency legislation.
The lines on which tho new measure
will be framed are not definitely known.
To some extent it Will follow the old bill,
with such changes as the experience of
the recent debate shows TO bo desirable.
1t is said, however, there will be no con-
cessions in the nature of a surrender to
the silver element, if they push their de-
mands to the point of the remonItization
of silver at n ratio of 16 to |. 1t is SAID the
Cancellation of this radical element is not
deemed necessary, although there will be
every desire to accept the assistance of
those silver men who will help IN meeting
the emergency, though the result IL not n
full realization of their theories.

The last ballot was taken at 10 o'clock
and as il was evident that no material
change could be anticipated tonight, an
adjournment was agreed upon, no faction
opposing it.
Before the vote was taken Shropshire
of Silver Bow stated to the caucus that he
would be absent for a couple of days and
desired to authorize some member to cast
his vote by proxy. This provoked some
discussion and scattering opposition, but
in the end the proposition passed. Mr..
Shropshire then designated Leonard, who
is Sanders man, to cast his vote.
The changes in the votes from last
night are all immaterial. The story is
told, with considerable show of proba-
bllity, that some members of the caucus
want to prolong the fight as long as pos
sible in order that the Doodle may flow
moro freely. With that end in view they
are switching their votes back and forth
among the various candidates, taking
care not to raise any of them dangerously
high.
There is beginning to be some talk of
the use of money. but it has not yet taken
definite shape. The friends of the diff
ferent candidates are all standing firm
and there is no material change in the
situation. The caucus adjourned at 10 80
o'clock to meet tomorrow night at tho
same place at o'clock.
