A Good Meeting,

The meeting at Grand Forks to organ
lze silver ASSOCIATION for North Dakota
brought out good attendance. Many
prominent men OF the state we're pres
ent, anc the proceedings we're received
with applause.
A permanent organization was made
and the convention left the right OF ap-
pointing members of the committees in
each county to the chairman, to act with
him in all matters. The resolutions
adopted recognized as the principles Of
the convention those adopted at the
national convention at Washington, de-
mauding the silver standard doctrine of
unrestricted free coinage at the ratio OF
16 to l, protection of wool and cattle
interests of the west, the use OF silver
as money OF final redemption, and the
aunulllng of any contract calling for
redemption in either metal alone.
The movement has more than ordinary
meaning and may mean the nucleus OF an
organization to make fight for silver
congressman and senator independent of
all political parties IN case the old par
ties fail to take up the question and
fairly advocate the same in platform and
by candidates.

are hoping for is a return of agricultural
prosperity that would leave them mar
gin of profit Of their hard earned pro-
ducts; and If this tax scheme could be
turned TO an investigation of the cause of
the present agricultural depression of
prices, and remedy for The same, no
farmers voice would be raised IN opposi-
tlOn, and no Iced would exist for lmmi-
grafton schemes, for when prosperity
does return, people will tumble over
one another IN there eagerness to pos
sess portion OF this future granary of
the United States
Its not alone our staple wheat crop
that is declining IN value, but recent
sLatlstics show that in spite of the past
disgusting twaddle that has been pub
llshed regarding diversified farming,
that decline has been going steadily
on for several years, not only IN the total
number, but also the value of our horses,
mules, sheep, cattle and hogs, and that
IN the past three years, the decline in
value of those animals has been 30. 4 per
cent-or nearly one-third. Hogs of all
things should have felt the effect of the
diversified howl, yet it Is shown that
they have decreased in number in the
past year 3 per cent. Still the Pioneer
Press with a self satisfied air boasts of
the beneficial results of their efforts in
behalf of diversified farming and now
advises farmers to get rich by feeding
oil meal!
Ia aid of an investigation of causes
and remedy for all these agricultural
ills the farmer Will be found willing to
contribute millions for defense. but not
one cent for tribute to this scheme, no
matter if it was but 67 cents instead of
S67-as we are told-we should protest,
for the reason that it is in the interest
of the speculator alone. We are now
reaplng the result of past boons by this
same crowd, and witnesses to their mis-
representations are scattered all over the
older states the effects OF which it will
take years of prosperity to remove.
Regardless of the opinion of the rest
of the county, jamestown will no doubt
push the scheme through and thereby
record another case of the tail wagging
the dog" as is usual in all matters IN
this county. The hope IS being freely
expressed that the state may prove too
big a dog for jamestown to wag before
this asylum muddleis over. Then again
how is this tax If raised to be expended?
In the usual way of the publlcs money!
Some men have records as 'past
masters in the expenditure of pnblic
money. Within sight of me is land that
was selected by one who was appointed
for that purpose; upless the state constl-
tuition is amended, that land will remain
school land when Gabriel sounds the
trumpet. as it is the poorest to be found
while good vacant land was in sight of it,
and there are other selections no better
IN this vicinity. Appearances indicate
that be never saw nor set foot on the
land, but it is recorded that he drew
pay for doing the work. like little man.
A man that would trick the school fund
in that way might allow this tax to stray
off into political campaign fund this
fall Who knows? Think it over voters,
before signing this scheme.

Asylum Notes.

Trustee johnson states he has paid off
the note given to DR.. o. w. Archibald.
Mr.. johnson left for his home in La
Moure county Friday.
The Minneapolis Journal has informa-
tlOn, IT the present plans of the board of
trustees to install new methods and
carry out certain economies of manage
| ment are not done or are prevented by
any other means, "there will be another
explosion before long, and there must
not be any favoritism either The
Journal thinks that while the board has
big contract on its hands, there Is
every reason to believe it will be carried
out.
Sheriff Taylor of Bismarck was in the
city Monday with a patient for the asylum
"a Mrs. Annie johnson Of Painted
Woods. She is quiet and manageable
woman of 35 years and is said to have
lost her mind on account of the i'll treat
ment of her husband. Painted Woods
is Missouri river town 20 miles north
of Bismarck.
Joseph Meyers OF Pulaski township,
near Mimic, Walsh county, was brought
to the asylum Saturday. He has been
committed to the hospital twice, once IN
February and once in July last year,
and each time discharged as cured after
short stay. Meyers hallucination is
that his wife is untrue and that her
admirers wish to kill him. To protect
himself from his imaglnery enemies he
carried large knife. DR.. Graham, a
member of the examining board that
committed Myers, is quoted as saying
that the man should not have been dis
charged from the institution when he
was.
DR.. Branch, who was chosen assistant
superintendent at the hospital, became
a resident OF North Dakota in April '95.
He came from Vermont where be was a
graduate of the university of Vermont,
in the medical department. He prac-
ticed his profession there for four years,
after which left for Brooklyn, N. Y. and
there engaged in general practice until
deciding to locate in the west. He had
letters Of introduction from prominent
persons in New York and Minneapolis to
a number of we'll known men'in the'state
at Fargo, Grand Forks and James
town. He decided after looking over
the field to establish himself at Dickln-
son which he did, and has been ac-
lively engaged in the practice of medi-
cine since with a resident physician and
could return there if desired. DR..
Branch is capable physician and will
no doubt prove the wisdom OF his selec-
ton.
