THE MAN THAT DID IT.
Attorney General Crawford Talks About
the Taylor Affair and How the State
Has Been Reimbursed.

Attorney General Crawford was a
passenger on the south bound train for
Sioux City and was feeling in the best
OF spirits as he alighted On the platform
to change cars here to-day. TO a DAILY
LEADER reporter who congratulated him
on the splendid outcome of his efforts to
protect the state and bring it's despoilers
to justice, he replied very modestly that
it vas not a pleasant duty in a case like
Taylor's where the defendant was 30
penitent and anxious to make all amends
within bis power, but the law must be
indicated and the people protected and
he intended that both should be done.
He said there was a great deal OF loose
talk, however, about the value of the
assets OF Taylor turned over to the state.
The assets were Of much more value
than most people gave them credit for.
Nearly all Of the property turned over
by both Taylor and Mellette was clear of
circumference and there is vast quanti-
ties Of it. Taylor had real estate in 16
counties. thousand and thousands of
acres Of it, scarcely any Of it with any
encumbrance thereon, such as his valu-
able 900 acre farm aud other farms in
Sphinx county and elsewhere. His min
ing stock even is not worthless but pay
ing property, as we'll as many of his
mortgages on city property. The
Mellette property which was said to be
heavily encountered was mortgaged to
Taylor and row that Taylor has assigned
it to the state it is practically unencum-
bered and is valuable property. After
Taylor's property is properly disposed Of
Mr.. Crawford thinks there Will be very
little to be made up by the bondsmen
but that little will be forthcoming i'm
mediately and there is no need for wor-
rying about 1t. Other matters of a pub
llc and private character were discussed
with the gentleman which 1t is un-
necessary to repeat and whether Mr..
Crawford is booked for congress or the
United States senate at the close of his
attorney generlship is left for the peo.
pie to determine.

Pierre dispatch, 10: The state is
promised another official sensation in
the matter of the compilation OF the CEN
sus. An appropriation Of $500 was
made by the legislature for clerk hire
and printing, and Emmett Cole was ap-
pointed by the commissioner Of statis-
tics, S. A. Wheeler, to do the work. A
few days ago Cole was dismissed on
charges Of neglectlng his work. Cole
declares that the work was up to date
and that he was fired because he refused
to give Wheeler 40 per cent of his salary.
Cole says the proposition was made in
the presence of his wife and that
he has letters which will bear him out in
his assertion.
Montrose Herald l6: Tuesday after
noon while threshing on J. u. Hutchin-
sons place the grain caught fire from
the sparks from the engine and before
anything could be done-the entire
setting of grain was burned and the
threshing machine along with it. This
means a great loss to Mr.. Hutchinson.
Over 1000 bushels Of barley were
destroyed. The engine was the only
part Of the machinery saved. Mr..
Hutchinson has had rather hard luck
this year. Loosing $500 early in the
spring by tramps and then as a windup,
losing his machine and a portion Of his
grain. The separator and outfit was a
very fine one and it will cost qui'e a
a sum Of money to replace same.

Tides In the Atmosphere.

Distinct tides in the atmosphere, cor
responding to those of the sea and pro-
duced twice daily by lunar attraction.
have been traced by Nj. Bouquet de Ia
Grye in the baron trio records Of sta
tions removed from powerful local dis
turbances. The recorded observations of
Brest, st. Helena, Cape Horn, Batavia
and Singapore give positive evidence Of
q regular ebb and flow according to the
moons position. The effect is slight,
but measurable, the greatest atmos-
pheric tide at Brest being shown by a
movement of o%ne-quarter Of an inch in
a water barometer, which is equivalent
to about One-fiftieth of an inch in the
mercury barometer. The tide seems to
bear aboat the same ratio to the weight
Of the atmosphere that the sea tide bears
to the depth of the ocean.
The Widely Distended Skirt.
Our prayers have been answered! The
heavy, widely distended skirts will very
Don be a thing Of the past. They are
an abomination and ought never to have
been allowed to become fashionable.
Why, it would take four hands to ma
nipulate the folds in such a way as to
keep the skirt out of the dust, and when
q woman tries to accomplish the task
with two her gown in soon forgotten in
her cramped fingers and she gives it up
in despair. How anything SO totally un-
ut to be worn in the street eve became
q fashion is a mystery to every one. ex-
cept, perhaps, those who manufacture
the hairclotb. But physicians have de-
nounced the heavy Innings as injurious
to health, and this, with the good sense
OF long suffering and heroic women,
who have patiently tried to endure the
burden for fashions sake, has brought
about a decided reaction against them,
and the heavy skirt must go.-Philadel-

Holden entered into negotiations with
Mr.. Crossley looking to the purchase
of the instrument in question, and
these negotiations ended last April in
Mr.. Crossley's free gift of the instru-
ment to the Lick observatory, pro-
vided that the observatory would pay
the cost of transporting the telescope
from England and setting it up ready
for work at it's new home. DR.. Holden
was not long in raising the requisite
sum in California, and within a few
months Mount Hamilton will have a
giant refractor in the conquest of the
skies. 1t is interesting to note that the
two telescopes are of just the same
diameter-three feet-although exact
opposites in principle of construction.
In a refractor the main thing is the
object-glass; in a reflector, it is the
mirror. It is easy to see how this ad-
dition to the equipment Of the observa-
tory will economize.. the time of the
observers.

Senator Sherman's Speech.

Senator Sherman's GAINESVILLE speech
will somewhat disappoint those Re-
publicans who expected that he might,
| in his later years, assume more friend
ly attitude toward silver than was his
wont in the days when he was the
recognized leader OF the gold mono
metallists of the United States. The
ex-secretary's speech will, we imagine,
prove unsatisfactory to both sides Of
the present division of public opinion,
for the reason that on the one hand he
practically rejects the idea of enlargins
the metallic base of our currency, which
is the cardinal principle in the BIZ
metallist's creed; while on the other he
prefers token currency OF silver TO
one Of paper, thus running directly
counter to his friends, the New York
bankers, who cannot see why silver at
so cents per dollar should be used to
represen: gold when paper can be
bought so much more chea2ly.
The senator, however, strikeG the
popular chord when he declares that
good money and plenty of it is as i'm
portant to all our people as equality of
rights and privileges" The whole
secret of the present agitation for a
larger coinage of silver is found in the
widespread belief, first, that the stock
of gold in this country is insufficient as
q metallic basis for the currency of the
country; second, that the placing of the
entire burden upon single foundation
metal, even If it were sufficient in guam
perior opportunity it would afford for
spectators to breed artificial panics;
such a form of bimetallism, independ-
emily If necessary, as will make every
coined dollar the complete equal of ev-
cry other dollar, without discrimination
against either of the two precious
metals which our constitution recog-
nizes as fit to be coined into standard
money.
The great majority of the American
people are honest and fair-minded.
They do not want fifty-cent dollars or
any other kind of dollars not having be-
hind them, somewhere in accessible form,
the security of 100 cents worth of recog-
nized and stable value. 1t is absurd to
suppose that the movement of intelli-
gent men for international, or, failing
that, American, bimetallism Is born of
desire to invalidate the decalogue.
And it is yet to be established, in spite
of all the learned sophisms of the day,
that the American people, who are the
worlds chief producers of silver, can
in the long run, derive anything but
loss from a system of finance which in
its inspiration is inappeasibly hostile to
silver.

THE PROPOSED NEW COURT.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
1t is most probable that the fate of the
appellate court bill will be decided in the
lower house of the legislature this week
1t passed the senate long time ago, but
for some reason not understood by the
people 1t has not made as much progress
as seemed desirable to the best public in
terests. This measure ought not to be
permitted to fail. The great increase of
business on the docket of the supreme
court has made it of the highest impor-
tance that something shall be done to re-
lieVe the pressure upon that tribunal. Its
average of cases Is almost three day for
every business day in the year, and 1t must
be well understood that to hear the argu-
mentS formulate, write and deliver the
opinions in so many can not be done
without such hurry as cannot fail to result
in sacrifice of merit and completeness in
tho decisions.
This cannot go on indefinitely. Even
should the court find itself able in one
way and another, and by disregarding
thoroughness, to keep up with the present
run of cases, it could not hope to do so
indefinitely. The state Is growing rap
idly. When the census iS take FIVE years
hence it is more than probable the popu-
lat!on will prove to be double what 1t
was at the time of the census taken just
before the adoption of the present consti-
tuition and the rearrangement of the su-
prcme court under its provisions. That in
crease of population means, of course,
an increase of business and of litigation,
with steadily increasing work for the
higher court.
1t has been conceded for several years
by those best informed on the matter
that some relief is absolutely essential.
There has never been until now any very
general agreement upon the form which
that relief should take. The several prop
ostions, however have given way to the
plan of an appellate court, to which about
one-half the cases which now fined their
way to the supreme court can be diverted
1t was a plan which met with pretty gen
eral favor. and a few months ago there
was so little opposition to 1t that there
was no reasonable doubt of It's final enact
ment But for some time the measure pro-
vid!ng for the creation of the new court
has been treated with indifference in the
house. Unless 1t is passed this week there
will be little nope for 1t. 1t Is against the
best ppblic interests to allow II to fail
and If 1t should fail it is certain many in
terests of the people would seriously suf-
fer before another legislature meets.
