R. I. Holco mh came home yesterday
from Renville county, where he spent
several days surveying the ground
which the state will want to buy to
mark the sight of the battlefield of
Birch Coulee. There are about six acres
in the tract which the state will purchase,
and it is on the farm of VIM. Weiss, a
farmer living in Morton. Weiss, al
though he has been offered $75 an acle
for the land, refuses to sell, land the state
will at once apply to the district court
for the appointment of appraisers. Tie
land is only worth about $25 an acre,
and Weiss will do we'll if the commits
sion allows him more than that sum. He
may possibly get as much as $s5 OF $40,
but certainly no more. He has stood
out from the start, asking first 800 an
acre, and finally $125. It is believed
that the men who were instrumental in
locating the monument In the fair
grounds near the town of Morton have
something to do with Weiss position.
The law provided that the monument
should be located on the battlefield, but
this provision cut no figure with lot
of men who wanted to do something to
boom their local race course. Last win
ter another bill was passed, and under
its provisions Mr.. Holcomb did his work
this week. The land on the Weiss farm
will be secured as soon as the court will
appoint the appraisers, and the nnonu-
ment will be removed from the race
course some time next month. Mlnnea.

In an address to his old army com
| rades at Elmwood, Illinois, last week,
Col. Ingersoll uttered some very fine SEN
timents. In opening he said: It gives
nae great pleasure to meet again those
with whom became acquainted in the
morning of my life. It's now afternoon.
The sun OF life is slowly sinking in the
west, and before evening comes, nothing
can he more delightful than to see again
the faces that knew in youth. When I
knew you the hair was brown; it is now
white. The marks were not quite so
dim. But mingled with this pleasure is
sadness, sadness for those who have
passed away-for the dead. And yet /
am mott sure that we ought to mourn for
the dead. [ do not know which is bet
ter-life or death. And it may be that
death is the greatest gift that ever came
from natures open hands; we do not
know. There is one thing of which I
am certain, and that is, that if we could
live forever here we would care nothing
for each other. The fact that we must
die, the fact that the feast must end,
brings our hearts together, and treads
out the weeds between the paths. And
SO it may be after all, that loveis little
flower that grows on the crumbling edge
of the grave. Sc it may be that were it
not for death there would be no love,
and without love all life would be a
curse.

Emperor William threatens to use the
army to suppress the so-called Socialists.
The Emperor evidently forgets that he
is living in an era Of progress and civila-
zation and that the employment of mill
tary force no longer creates political
sympathy in behalf of a monarchial form
of government and a gilded king. The
days are gone when the iron methods Of
"a Bismarck can be nsed to strengthen
the throne of an imperial master, and
Kaiser William must cone down to a
realization of the fact that there is some
thing wrong in his system Of governing,
and that concessions alone, not force,
will appease the consequent dissatisfac-
ton among his subjects.

"Shylock's Daughter" by Margaret
Holmes Bates, Charles H. Kerr & Co.,
publishers, us Monroe street, Chicago
Ill. This is one of the works of fiction
which are filling large space i'll the
literature of the day, which finds its
source in the great reform movement that
is troubling the social and political life of
the present, and which seems destined to
play a conspicuous part in assisting the
evolution of society, which many and
ominous signs declare we stand on the
brink of that will be marked by shocks of
more or less violence.
The solid facts which the sturdy re-
formers are using, whose make up has
little of poetry or sentiment in it, but are
cleaving like broad swords through the
superstititious and false beliefs of the past
which have chained mems minds and
darkened their understanding, are pre-
pairing congenial soil for a new growth
of fiction that the poets and novelists are
using with immense effect.
Every great moral and political con-
vulsion has prepared material for song
and story which awaken the heroic ele-
ment that human nature is engrained
with. This material i'll the hands of
the fiction writers has proven a strong
force in the battle On the side of reform
Shyiock attempts TO play his polished
and beautiful daughter against the young
hero of the cause of labor reform, and
win him over to the corporation, lobby
side, bpt the handsome, eloquent young
champion of reform succeeds in converting
the daughter to his side, and beats Say
lock at his own game by finally capturing
his daughter.

The Way Out.

At the outbreak of the SHAREHOLDERS
rebellion there was financial trouble very
similar, on the part of the government to
its present condition, the want of money
to defray current expenses. The banks
of New York proposed to supply the
money, and several conferences were
held between them and the Secretary of
the Treasury. The banks undertook the
job but wanted the government to bor-
row money from thenl-all it needed
and make them the depository of taxes
and all funds the government might have
use for, and pay through them by checks.
The banks undertook the job of fur
nishing the government with money
specie it was to be-on demand. When
one hundred and fifty millions had been
furnished, the banks gave it up and sus-
pended specie payment, and wanted to
issue their bills instead. The Secretary
asked Congress for authority to issue legal
tenders direct from the Treasury, and the
greenback appeared. From that hour
every line of industry. from throat cut
ting-which is the lowest form of indus
try-to the production of food, which is
the highest, began to move with accel-
Grated speed and from that day till Sec
rotary McCulloch began to burn the
greenbacks and issue interest bonds in
their stead there never was such an era of
industrial prosperity in this or any other
country, among all classes of laboring
and business people. The want of money
brought everything to almost a stand
still full supply of money direct from
the Treasury made everything hum.
The same conditions as to money now
exist. The same puttering and fooling
with the banks of New York are being
carried on between them and the Secre-
tary of the Treasury. The way out is as
at the outbreak of the war. Issue green
backs to supply the deficiency in revenue
from taxes, as then. Pay the preferred
obligations of the government in coin,
not gold alone, but any legal tender coin
on hand, and business will at once begin
to move on the upgrade. As long
as banks are depended upon to supply
anything but promises, nothing will
he forthcoming. What is a bank but
deposit Loggar and interest drawer?
Analyze it, scrutinize it, search it from
top TO bottom, turn it inside out, and
you will find it has virtually nothing but
what it begs in the form of deposits and
steals in the shape of interest, and to
expect such an institution as that to fur
nish anything real is MONDAY madness
If Congress and the Administration had
the eotn,por sense of sixteen year old
school martH," with the lesson of 1862
before them, they could raise tbs blockade
of industry and end the national distress
in one day. Greenbacks and silver will
restore the patient to perfect health, and
that is the way ost which will have to be
taken in the end.

The Presidents Currency Plan
Criticised.

The Hon. Vim. ]. Bryan, the leading
Congressman from Nebraska, contributes
a severe but judicial and unimpassioned
criticism of THE Presidents Currency
Plan" to the February Arena. These
are some of his points He says Mr..
Cleveland raises an issue in his message
that will not be finally disposed of until
bank notes are substituted for all govern
ment paper, or until government paper is
substituted for all bank notes. His po-
sition is exactly opposite to that taken by
the first Democratic President, Thomas
Jefferson. Mr.. Cleveland has declared
the issuance of paper money to be the
function of the banks. Jefferson regared-
ed the issue of paper money as more
properly function of government. Mr..
Cleveland declares that 1.-The absolute
enforcement of the government from the
business of banking is the ideal relation
ship of the government to the circulation
of the currency of the country" Jeffer-
son on the other hand, fought for such
legislation as should make the banks go
out of the governing business and attend
only to the legitimate business of bank
ing. This, with the currency, or any
portion of exchange, i'll their control,
they will never do. Jefferson wrote on
this matter: ''Interdict forever, to both
the State and national governments, the
power of establishing any paper banks,
for without this Introduction we shall have
the same GIBBS and flows of medium, and
the same revolutions of property to go
through every twenty or thirty years "
Congressman Bryan shows how utterly
disastrous to every interest in the conf
munity, except that of the bankers, the
Cleveland-Carlisle plan would be in
operation, ard how all the old evils of the
State bank system, with its loss and in
convenience, and its pressure upon the
debtor would be upon us again. In the
case of any great panic, say such fear
full panic as that of '93, the value of bank
notes would sink almost to zero and gold
would be at greater premium than ever.
The evil to be remedied is the apprecia-
ton of gold. The Presidents plan only
aggravates this, and Congressman Bryan's
final point is that the only thing that will
bring relief, and an adequate volume of
stay-at-home money for the people is the
the restoration of silver at the present
legal ratio of Is to I, and proper system
of national paper invested with legal
tender qualities and acceptable for all the
purposes Of commerce.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

By local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
Illumination can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh }
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars; free.

A Union of Reform Forces.

This subject is being seriously
discussed by the leaders of the Pro-
hibition party. Gentlemen, the first
movement to be made for that pur-
pose is the getting rid of disturbing
elements. When an organization
for one defined reform antagonizes
the general movement, the central
power, change the form of that
organization. Get rid of the fric-
ton and the movement will be
strengthened individually, while
the whole force of it will be added
to the central movement.
This was forcibly illustrated in
the reform movement in New York
against Tammany. The Tammany
Hall candidate for mayor bid bold
ly for the saloon vote. The reform
party were forced-or believed they
were-to make terms with the
liquor power. That bargain-for
bargain it virtually was-insured
immunity to the liquor power let
which party might win, and the
saloon did not take sides.
The better element which was
opposed to the saloon could not
offer counter force to the saloon.
1t was not organized in way to be
effective. The Prohibition party
stood in the path and blocked the
way to any other effective organiza-
ton against the saloon. 1t was too
weak, and is everywhere too weak
to offer any substantial resistance
to the saloon. Had the Prohibition
party as organized with a whole
outfit of party machinery of the
regulation old political pattern,
been out Of the way the prohibition
element could have been united in
sold phalanx that would out
number and out vote the liquor
party in every contest. The party
or candidate that opposed such a
force and invited its opposition
would be doomed to defeat. The
Prohibition strength of the country
combined could win every battle
into which it threw it's organized
strength. AS a distinct political
party with ticket of its own it can
gain nothing.
The Reform Mayor of New York
has had the "boys" who run the
saloon before him giving them to
understand that he meant to carry
out his part of the contract, and
the New York saloons are open on
Sunday. Before the prohibition
element can make itself felt in the
reform movement it must drop its
skeleton party and'form on broader
lines. The old parties will have
nothing to do with it, and it is
certain that the Peoples party will
not admit a prohibition plank in it's
platform while there is a Prohibi-
ton party flag afloat. For the
good of the prohibition cause it
ought to dissolve.

The Party of Living Issues.

-OON~O~'
We are sure the Watchman is feeling
unnecessary anxiety over the st. Louis
Conference" In our estimate that
conference didn't amount to hill of
beans. What on earth was Mr.. Tauben-
eck's idea for calling it we never even
could guess. And when the Watchman
says that it was wicked and foolish
surrender to the socialists" brother Dun
ming must have been nervous. General
Fields account of the Conference" in
the same number of the WatckmdR. that
it amounted to nothing more than a
childish gathering Of some people who
love to feel excited. and that nobody
need have any concern about, ought to
be sufficient to dismiss the Conference"
A month hence it will have vanished from
the minds of everybody. Surrendered
to the socialists indeed Had the
Conference" even tried to surrender
anything how were they to deliver the
goods
The republicans have not changed their
plans on account of the meeting held at
st. Louis, and they cannot fight on the
tariff line in the campaign of '96, and
they cannot resuscitate the democratic
party with any such 'yarb" tea given in
warm doses. That party is too dead to
skin. The republican party doesn't know
what to do. That's what's the matter.
Conditions are shaping themselves, and
no party can control them. The storm is
blowing from every point of the compass
like the cyclone. The financial element
is the storm centre, and when the repub-
licans attempt to stop its force by running
up the old rotten tariff canvas it will be
| ierked into ribbons.
Conditions are going to shape parties
in 'o6 and not parties control conditions.
The Peoples party will move on the lines
the trend of affairs and the necessities of
the epoch have placed it. 1t means bit
must be placed in the mouth of monopoly,
that the natural monopolies and public
franchises that have been given to cor
porations by Doodle Legislators shall be
restored to their rightful owners, the
people, and the Gibraltar behind whose
frowning ramparts all these special
privileges are massed is the money power.
That stronghold must be storlned and
reduced before single reform can be
secured To leave it uncaptured is to
invite defeat on every other part of the
field. The Peoples party is in the field
on which every reform that rebounds to
the welfare of the toiling masses must be
contended for. 1t means to lay ''judg
ment to the line and Righteousness to the
plumet' These reforms must all be
secured or no one of them would be per-
1nanently safe. The Peoples party is the
| first party in America that ever had
group of reforms, every one vital, every
one possessing a sharply defined, distinct
individuality, and yet composing a
group, the central figure of which is
its financial policy. Every other
party that ever appeared in the field
of American politics has had but one
vital principle, ringed by numerous gilt
tering generalities. After that controlling
question was settled, the party has be-
come the refuge of rogues and den of
thieves. Look at the two old parties.
What else are they to-day?

Free Coinage.

The policy of the gold ring has
ever been to force down the price
of silver to point which would
make it appear to the popular mind
a hopeless effort to remonetize and
restore the bullion to coin price.
But this is a fallacy and delusion.
Mr.. VIM. p. st. John, president of
the Mercantile National Bank of
New York when before the COM
mittee of the house stated that
there was not more than $4,000, 900
of surplus silver in the world. Mr..
st. John has given much time and
research to the subject of silver and
money and is by far the best
equipped man of all the bankers of
that Gotham, and stands alone
among them, on the subject of
silver, contending that every con-
sideration favors the remonetiza-
ton of silver by the United States.
In one hour after free coinage of
silver in the United States became
law, or as soon as the news could
be flashed through the ocean, the
price of silver would rise TO Sl.29
per ounce in London, the great
silver market of the world.
The small surplus of $5,000,00
is sufficient to keep the price at as
low a figure as the silver manipula-
tors choose to put it in the absence
Of free coinage, but that small
amount would not hold it down one
hour after free coinage was estab-
lished.
The money pressure is becoming
so great that every day is driving
the opponents to free coinage from
their position, and they will finally
have TO yield. If the question
could be brought to popular vote
it would be carried FIVE to one in
favor of free coinage.

The street car strike at Brooklyn
is failure. All strikes are failures.
The reason is plain. The laws are
made in the interest of corporations.
The strikers as voters vote for and
elect the corporation representa-
tives. When strikers and the class
of people they represent vote for
and elect their own people to repre-
sent them in law making bodies,
they will have laws to protect their
own interests and not before. While
they continue to vote blindly as
they have been doing their votes at
the polls will beat them in the
strike. With fair and impartial
laws there would be no necessity
for strikes.
