John Dolan or Clark Fork, who was
last week arrested and jailed on a
charge of insanity preferred by his
daughter, had hearing before Pro-
bate Judge Melder Yesterday at
which his wife and two daughters
Miss Anna Dolan and Mrs. Ella Burke,
were present. 1t was proven beyond
doubt that Dolan is as cracy as II
bedbug on the subject of his domes-
tic affairs, and the poor fellow will be
taken to Blackfoot early next week.
Dolan is queer character. He seems
perfectly sane on every subject that
may be discussed with him. except
certain domestic affairs, on which he
is clearly insane.

The ONLY CERTAIN ROAD TO PROS
PERITY: BIMETALLISM
WHY AN INTERNATIONAL MONEY CON-
FERENCE

The value of money is based on is
purchasing power in the country of
it's coinage. This may be stated as
an axiom. If merchant in Liver
pool, England, wanted 10000 bushels
of American wheat, and wheat was
worth ST. per bushel. $40, 900 of United
States money would pay for the wheat
in Liverpool. and it makes no differ
ence whether that money was gold,
silver, or greenbacks. This talk about
an international congress to settle the
financial policy of the United States
is the slogan Of the Shylocks of Eng
land and Germany, put in the mouths
Of tinanciers, bankers, and the train
OF corrupt clacquers down to the COM
mon masses. This line is made up of
men, such as bankers and money
lOaners, who advocate monOmet allism
because their buiness is benefited,
others because they are hired to do SO.
and still others talk it because of
their weakness mentally, being una
BILE to reason out the proposition
themselves they become human par
rots repeating trite phrases, such as a
monetary conference" "sound mon
ey," "depreciated currency" etc.,
without knowing that these platitudes
are terminated IN the rankest fallacy
and most illogical deductions; they
mean nothing, prove nothing, and
establish nothing. This "Monetary
Confererence," of what should it con-
sist? Who are the commercial ma
tions of Europe, necessary for us to
consult? Great Britain and Germa-
ny. There would be no trouble in eX-
change between France and this coun-
try. So as our commercial relations
with the other nations of Europe are
concerned they are not worth taking
into account. Think of this, when
this question is trumpeted in your ear.
Who ever heard of an international
money? Who has the power to make
international money? Did you ever
see an international dollar? Is it
not a fact that the money which you
see, the only money that conducts the
affairs of this great country is United
States money? The gold, silver and
paper money coined and made by the
United States has done her business
for more than century and will con-
tinue to do So, There can be no 9th.
er money under our constitution.
This talk Of international agreements,
and international money, is absurd
and foolish: if such a scheme were
possible, which we deny, it would be
bad policy for the representatives OF
free and independent nation like
ours to consent to it. The doctrine
of Monroe was to studOusly shun all

NORTHERN PACIFIC AFFAIRS
Importance of the Action of the New

to the New Management--Int.r-

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Oct. 5.-The Or
der Of Judge Lacombe in the United
States court at New York restraining the
former receivers of the Northern Pacific
from turning over to their successors any
of the moneys or properties OF the COM
pany within his jurisdiction is not apt to
be fully appreciated but 1t is a most i'm
portant one, not only from tho fact that
there is considerable money deposited in
New York, but because the books of the
company arc in that city, and if the re-
csivers, especially Receiver Bigelow, who
has charge of the finances. are not to
have access to them there will be almost
insurmountahle obstacles to overcome,
There are two obligations which must be
met on ber 1. One is the interest
on the mortgage bonds of the Missouri
division of the road. This division lies
wholly within Judge Caldwell's jurisdic-
ton, and the amount due is over $75, 600,
while the sinking fund charges to be
paid on the same, amount to something
over S17, 900; but these amounts are insig-
nfcant in comparison with the. other
Obligations. Interest to the amount of
more than $3, 600, 0G0 is due on the collat-
eral trust notes and it is imperative that
this obligation be met promptly.
The collateral trust fund is one of the
most important the receivers are charged
with looking after, and default in the
interest will be almost fatal to the inter-
est of the bondholders.
