EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.
Important Action Taken by the House o
Deputies.

Important Action taken by the House OF
Deputies.
MrNNEAPoLIs, Mimi, Oct. s.-By
viva voce vote, which was sufficiently
large in volume to restrain the minor
ity from challenging a division, the
house of deputies OF the Episco-
pal convention Monday placed it,
self on record as being will
ing to surrender one OF its most
valuable prerogatives and practically
the only one that enables it to hold
the whip-hand in preventing the
house of bishops from making of itself,
if it were so disposed, a literal oil
garchy. This was its refusal to re-
enact the clause putting into effect
within three days all legislation
concerning which the bishops
had made no sign. This clause
which was ommitted from the new re-
vision after debate in the commits
sion which, it is said, lasted week,

MILLS ON SILVER.
Signs of Growing Enlightenment on the
Currency.

Currency.
Senator Mills has announced his OPP
position to the free coinage of silver
by this country. 1t is probable that
his declaration will not greatly sur
prise the silver men, for Senator Mills
has long been n doubtful quantity in
the currency discussion. 1t is true
that he has not been counted sound
by the opponents of silver, but he has
not been of great assistance to its
friends, while he has utterly failed
them on one or two occasions--notably
IN the extraordinary session which Mr..
Cleveland called for the purpose of Sc
curing the repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman act. On that
occasion Mr.. Mills was tower of
strength to the cause of sound money,
and when he was elected senator he
refused to obey the wishes of the ma
jority of the legislature of Texas to
put the currency question before that
of tariff reform. At that time he con-
vinced the Legislature not only that he
might be right, but that he was the
best man of all the candidates to rep
resent the state in the senate,
While it is true, therefore, that Mr.
Mills has been counted as silver man,
it Is not true that the announcement
of his final conclusion on the subject
marks the conversion of an ardent adj
vocate of free coinage To those who
know the man, the rugged honesty of
his mind and the conscientiousuess
and thoroughness of his study of any
question that demands his vote, his
announcement cannot come as sur
prise. II is the belief of those who are
intelligently opposed to the free coin
age of silver that discussion and study
will convince any man of sound mind
that the gold standard must be main
tanned in this country so long as it re-
mains the standard of the commercial
nations with which we deal most
largely. This being SO, it was in
evitable that Senator Mills should
reach the conclusion which he has just
announced in his letter to the chair
man of the democratic state commit
tee of Texas.
The convincing arguments with
which he has accompanied this an
nouncement cannot fail to have a good
effect. lie has rightfully a larger in
huCuCc Will u ludu 10
possessed by the average senator.
Moreover, there have been signs of a
growing enlightenment on the money
question in Texas, so that altogether
Senator Mills enlistment as a worker
in the cause of honest money-and he
is a worker who never tires and never
rests so long as there is a chance to do
anything for the cause he has at heart
is n noteworthy episode, and much
good ought to result from it.
But there is another aspect in which
this incident will present itself thos e
who are accustomed to consider Amer
lean politicians as men who take coun-
sci of their popularity rather than of
their principles. Mr.. Mills is not such
a man. On more than one occasion he
has with sturdy courage risked his
political future by his stern loyalty to
his principles He is one of the few
senators of our generation who would
rather go out of public life than vio-
late his conscience. And such a man
any American community ought to de-
light to honor. .-Harper's Weekly.

reason to fear any debasement of the
currency for at least two years. Even

such a bill. This splendid showing

SILVER IN THE NEW CONGRESS.
The Cheap Money Boom Has Become
Vacuum.

A committee of the New York cham
ber of commerce has been ma king a
canvass of the financial creeds of mem
bers of the Fiftyfourth congress with
results that are both interesting and
gratifying.
According to this committee the next
house of representatives will contain
ss advocates of free silver, PIG souu
money men and SO members whose
views are doubtful or unknown. Of
the IS free silverites only 30 are repub-
licans, while 81 are democrats and the
other : popullsts.
In the senate there are 43 votes
against free coinage, while the utmost
that the silverites can muster is 80
votes. Six senators are in doubt, and
when Utah is admitted its two sena-
tors will probably annex themselves
to the silver cranks. But the marked
| disintegration that has begun among
the silverites, and the universally
fiabby condition of free coinage senti-
ment among all classes. make it neces-
sary to discount literally the face
value of the silver showing in congress.
The figures which the New York in
vestigators have discovered may be
safely divided by two, so far as the
| free silver forces are concerned.
The order of the day henceforth in
the silver ranks will be desertion. The
example of Senator Mills, of Texas, in
boldly changing front and coming out
on the side of sound money will not
lack for imitators. Few of the men
who are sent to Washington are so ig-
norant as really to believe in the free
silver sophistry. They pose as apostles
of that fiat creed because they believe
that is what their constituents want.
But the moment the craze dies out in
their home districts they will speedily
have change of heart. This change
set in some time ago, and is admitted
by the most ardent silver agitators
themselves, among them Vest, of Mis-
souri,, and Jones, of Nevada.
The silverite boom, like the silverite
dollar, has become so per cent. vacuum.

KENT ON
M. R. Kent Thinks Hayward Guilty Of
the Crime Charged.

Fargo Forum: Referring to the Hay
ward case Kent said that the action of
the supreme court in affirming the judg-
ment of the lower court is not a surprise
to him. 81 followed the case," said
Kent, "rather closely through the Jews
papers and while their reports may have
been prejudiced, the, conclusion 1
reached was that Hayward was guilty.
Believing that, and considering the ma
ture of the crime, one can hardly help
but feel that he deserves punishment.
But Blixt on the witness stand, while
part sounded improbable, was, [ believe
in the main, true, and brands the muir
der OF Miss Cling, as one of the most
horrible in the annals Of crime. Hay
ward must be cold-blooded and, Judging
from what has been printed of him,
thinks very little Of plotting to murder
or arson. Public opinion, which was
apparently smoldering, has been greatly
prejudiced by Hayward's attempt at jail

Streeter's Idea.

Editor Streeter, Of the Emmons
County Record, says of the effects Of the
%prohibitory law in his county: Gin
Emmons county, before prohibition,
there were only three or four saloons.
Now there are said to be three times that
many. Under license, the county received
over a thousand dollars a year from
that source. Now they receive nothing,
and anyone can who buy a government
license and procure a jug Of cactus ex
tract and a tin dipper a go into bust
ness. Public opinion is the only
protection there is now, and the public
opinion in this county is, unless we
greatly mistake it, strongly trending
toward the idea that Emmons county
needs and must have some revenue from
that source. In fact several Of the sa-
loon men Of this county have expressed
themselves as willing to pay a license.
And, if the county commissioners and
states attorney should move in the mat
ter, we believe they would be solidly
backed. by public opinion, and those
who sought to defy public opinion would
undoubtedly find it very ''hard sleddin.''
Let Emmons county have an income
from the saloons"

p. S. Miller has had a long chase
throughout the state after arms loaned

during the Messiah craze among the
Indians, when Sitting Bull was killed,
says the jamestown Alert. At Ashley
a lot OF rifles were discovered-at the
state university forty stand that were
supposed to have been returned long
ago, and at many other places other lots.
AS these arms are United States govern
ment property, billed to the state, and
again to be accounted for tothe national
government, it is important that none
be lost or remain. ~unaccounted for.
When the rifles were loaned, in many
instances, bonds were given for the safe
return of them, but since then the
bondsmen have. moved away or become
scattered SO thatthe guarantee is worth
less. The search has carried the adj
jutant general to all parts of the state
and necessitated much travel, some of it
by wagon.
