TAYLOR WOULD COMPROMISE.
His Attorney Anxious to Mahs
Terms-Ruth to BE Put on the
Rack.

Special to the Globe.
PIERRE. S. D.. Feb. 18.-The Ruth
Investigating committee heard today
Secretary of State Thorson, who swore
that the testimony Of Chief Clerk Bow
man to the effect that Thorson advised
the holding up of state money, and
had inportuned Bowman not to senG
it out, was incorrect. Thorson had
merely expressed an opinion in casual
conversation that forcing of counties
to pay the money they had, would.
during the panic result in the failure
of a number of banks. Commissioners
Lockhart appeared before the COM
mittee in an informal way, and in
formed them that the methods OF
bookkeeping under Ruth were exceed
ingly irregular and careless, and that
the Office had been largely neglected
during his predecessors term. The
committee wired Ruth~t be in at
tendance Wednesday morning, and
he will at that time be subjected t.
a close and thorough examination. He
testified three weeks ago that at 10
time since 1892 had he a dollar OF
state money in his bank at Desmet.
The public examiner has furnished the
committee with a certificate from the
cashier of Ruth's bank dated last
April, stating that there was then CT
deposit s15,O 900 due the state. There are
other serious conflicts of testimony,
making it look somewhat dark for
Ruth. The committee has instructed
Col Jolly, of Vermillion, to take the
testimony of certain people in that city
regarding the famous letter which
Ruth is alleged to have written to
Taylor and sent by mistake to the
treasurer of Clay county. c. 7. Me-
Coy, who admitted that he was Tay>
lor's attorney, representing the de-
faulting treasurer and bondsmen here.
also admitted that he was prepared
to treat with the state for compro-
mise.

The move of the silver men came
as the climax of an exciting day IN
the senate. For two hours at the
opening Of the session there was
renewal of the attack and defense,
the charge and countercharge, con-
cerning the course of the president
and secretary of the treasury IN
NEGOTIATING the recent bond con-
tract with foreign bankers. The
two notable speeches of tie day
were made by Mr.. Gray, of Della
ware. whose relations with the ad-
n1inistration are such that his ut
terances in defense of the president
and secretary were regarded as re-
fleeing the attitude of the executive
branch. and by Mr.. Sherman, of
Ohio. whose financial views are al
ways received with marked atten-
ton.
Mr.. Sherman's criticisms of the
bond contract were none the less
severe because of the calm and dis
passionate manner in which he set
forth what he termed 'its hard
and improvident" features, and the
excessive rate of interest allowed
on thirty-year bonds. Mr.. Sherman
declared that no bonds should be
issued except to be taken by the
people of the United States, and he
asserted the abundant ability of
Americans to furnish all the gold
necessary. The Ohio senator did
not. however, question the presi-
dents position in favor of gold
payments, but presented the facts
Of all bonds issued since 1869, Show
ing that the government had al
ways received gold for its bonds,
and was bound by common honesty
to pay in gold for them. The agri-
cultural appropriation was finally
passed.
SENATOR GRAY DEFENDS.
Mr.. Stewart Pop, New was the
first to continue the criticism of the
bond contract. His resolution was
called up declaring that the gov
ernment had no legal authority to
buy gold coin in preference to silver
hot n
Stewart spoke of the humiliating
position of the United States in be-
ing held by the throat by a gold
co-4mis- ion, which had the power
to "coerce and squeeze the country
UP to next October, when the con-
tract expired.
Mr. Gray Dem, Del), who is rec
ognized as close to the officials OF the
administration, then took the floor.
IIe expressed surprise that the SEN
ators from Massachusetts (Lodge)
and Colorado (WolcotD had so far
gone out of their way as to indulge
in Il violent assault upon the execu-
tive. The president had performed
q duty incumbent upon him by law
That law was such that any evasion
Of it would have been q plain
dercuction of duty. Congress had
nlado this law. 1t made it necessary
to maintain the parity between the
metals by redeeming in either. No
aoorer had congress assembled than

gest>d in that message, and they saw
fit to reject it, Again the president

SCHOOL NOTES

LaHarpe is showing its enterprise
by charging the school house. 1t
prodoses to build 16 feet to the west
end of The old building and in many
other ways add to the comfort and
appearance of the property, such as
making new cistern and putting in
new blackboard A number of other
schools in the county should follow
LaHarpe's example.
The Allen county teachers who
went to Denver have all returned ex-
cept Miss May Woodin who remained
at the Summer School in Colorado
Springs. All report an excellent time.
Besides attending the Association,
many improved the opportunity of
visiting the places of interest in the
mountains. such as the Canons of note,
the Garden of fhe Gods, Pixies Peak
and the Caves.
Let all friends of higher education
hurrah for the County High School.
Now that this long needed movement
is started, let US see to it that it is
kept going until Allen county will no
longer be compelled to hang its head
in shame when asked what it is doing
for the education of its youth and the
training of its teachers.
Word has just come to US that
Prairie Hall is preparing to build
new school house and that Elsmore
city will add another room to it's
school. These things are encouraging.
Let the good work go on.
There are twenty-six more certifi-
Gates in this county than schools. The |
county superintendent protests |
issuing any temporary certificates I'M
