THE WILCOX RESOLUTIONS.

4T4H WlLSOA AEoOLC11O4NS.
At it's regular session on Monday
evening, the city council passed yigor-
Gus and drastic resolution, which is
elsewhere published by order OF the
council, calling upon Judge Wilcox to
resign. There is great deal OF feeling
relative to the matter. and it is quite
natural that there should be. The
mover OF the resolution, Alderman
Moore. says that prior to the nomina-
tion of Judge Wilcox he was approached
by him with request for his support,
stating that he would like the nomina-
tion, and would accept as salary one
hall the pay allowed by law. Relying
upon this statement. Mr.. Moore made
an active canvass in his behalf, although
he was opposed to retaining the court
at all, as he thought it too expensive a
luxury; but if the salary were reduced
to four or iive hundred dollars year
the law allowing eight hundred-he
would not favcr the repeal of the law.
: Judge Wilcox was nominated, and as
soon as nominated publicly declared
his intention OF drawing the full legal
salary. This he proceeded to do until
Just before the session of the legislature,
when a movement was entered into by
a very large number of the tax PAYERS of
the CITY TO have the court act repealed
altogether, because of it's expense-1t
enta,ling an expenditure OF several hun
dred dollars year above the receipts.
petition was drawn and very largely
signed, requesting the legislature to re-
peal the act, and Senator Keller intro
duced a bill into the senate for such re-.
peal, and it passed that bo1y,
Then it was that Judge Wilcox issued
circular, which is made part of the council
resolution, headed Financial Statement
of the Municipal Court which he scattered
broadcast throughout the city, and making
personal promises to do the work for $500
providing the citizens would not push the
repeal movement. Relying upon these rep
the petition was withdrawn from
circulation, after being largely signed, and
all opposition to the court was withdrawn,
Judge Wilcox accepting month by month
from the city $4I.66, instead ef $6666-
drawing pay on basis of $500 year, in
stead of $500.
But no sooner had the Legislature ad-
ourned, and the court was safe from legis-
ative destruction for two years more, than
he made his demand upon the council, not
only for full salary month by month, but for
the unpaid arrearages. The council with
held pay for a time. until satisfactory legal
council could be secured, D. T. Calhoun
giving his opinion that the Judge could en-
force his claim for full amount, and he was
paid. That is what led the
council to pass SO unanimously the scathing |
resolutions referred to. They feel that they
and the city, have not been dealt with in
good faith; that Judge Wilcox very well
knows that if such action on his part could
have been foreseen the court act would have |
been repealed, that he found the opportunity
for collecting six hundred dollars from the
which he was practically pledged not
to take-although under the law entitled to
t-and accepted it. But the resolutions
speak for themselves, and give vigorous ex-
preston of the council to their opinion of
the matter

THE NEWBOND ISSUE.

The New York World is manitesting
degree of enterprise wholly unprec.nted.
It sent out thousands of kilograms and
cablegrams, asking the leading fnan-
ciers OF this country and Europe what
the prospects are for floating gold re-
serve bond at low rate of interest.
Every National bank in the United
States was telegraphed for an opinion,
and herewith is given the telegram re-
ceived by the First National Bank of
Sauk Centre:
New York. Jan. 6, 1896.
First National Bank, Sauk Centre: We
today ask all National Banks whether,
il the president makes call to replenish
the gold reserve, they will consider it a
patriotic duty to take bonds on a three
per cent. basis. Will you invest, and to
what extent? Reply prepaid.
THE WORLD.
The cashier of the bank made the fol
lowing very pertinent response:
Sauk Centre, Mimi, Ian. 6 1896.
The World. New York:
Do not believe gold reserve can be per
manently maintained by bond issues
Revenues must be increased to equa
current expenditures, yet il president
concludes to replenish reserve by float
ing popular three per cent. bonds o.

In his reply Mr.. Sprague touched the
key note OF the financial situation. Re-
lief will not and cannot come to the
country so long as the revenues OF the
country are less than the expenditures.
The tariff lies under and beyond the
financial question in its .ravest aspects.
Until the endless chain" is broken there
10 little use OF attempting to maintain a
gold reserve. Gold is poured into tile
treasury by the sale of bonds, it flows
out to redeem areenbacks. and tie
greenbacks are ut once paid out for
current expenses, and at once are pre-
sented again to the treasury for redemp-
tion in gold, to be again paid cut. and
again redeemed. making an endless
draft upon the gold reserve.

The Alexandria Post News and the
Fergus Falls Journal have each con-
tanned vigorous editorials of late pro
testing against Tams Bixby acting as a
chairman of the state central commit tee
and the governors private secretary as
we'll. This is matter which long ago
should have been stirred up. No one no
matter who he is. should occupy both
positions, and the republican state CEN
tral committee should always in the fu-
ture obsere that rule. The two should
be divorced. and the sooner it is done,
the better it will be for the republican
party at large in this state.-Wadena
Pioneer.
So long as Mr.. Bixty discharges his
duty as private secretary to the full
satisfaction of his chief. the HERALD
fails to see wherein there is any impro-
priety in his serving as chairman of the
state central committee. The office of
private secretary has been recognized
for years as being distinctively politi-
cal one, and from purely political
standpoint, Mr.. Bixty has earned his
official position.

PRAcrIcAL p,,litics must be accepted

possible. The HERALD sets up no plea
for the continuance Of bad, or even ques-
tionable methods, but only urges their
prevalence in explanation OF existing
conditions. lust prior to the state cam
paign Of 1894. several men were solicited
to take the craftsmanship of the republi-
can state central committee, and de-
clined. Tams Bixby, who had a large
acquaintance throughout the state, was
requested to take the position by Hon.
Knute Nelson, with the promise that in
case of the election of Mr.. Nelson, Mr..
Bixby should be his private secretary.
He accepted. Nelson was elected, Bixby

WHAT SHALL We DO.

Says The Salt Lake Tribunh: "a
good Republican asked the writer of
this yesterday, the question, What
are we to do? That is he explained,
What are we to do locally as Republi-
cans?' The answer to that is, this is
free country, and every man will do
what he pleases. Our idea of the situa.
ton is this. The Republicans violated
every tradition of the past and every
promise which they have held out to
the people for the last sixteen years
on the question of silver, and on that
question should be repudiated. But
aside from the silver question, the par
ty and its principles are all right, and
our thought is that the Republicans
should maintain their organization,
should struggle to their utmost to Sc
cure a Republican Legislature, to elect
a Republican Congressman, and the
Senator sent from here this coming
winter shoul be man who, in the
Senate of the United States would ia
Vor protection, would favor reciprocity,
favor the full creed of Republican
party, including the article of faith
which they, in their great convention.
have just repudiated. The executive
and the legislative branches of the Gov
are of equal Importance. To
repudiate protection and reciprocity be-
cause the party in its convention repu-
dated silver, would be adding two
wrongs to the one already committed.

The publisher of the Gazette has

on bees, This does not refer or relate

Our observations satisfy us that bees
have individual habits just the same as

early afternoon; while other win swarm

HEAVY RUN.
False Runners Cause DePOSitors to Rush to the
WeiseP Bank After their Funds-lt Stands
the Pressure Without WtRkinG.

Weiser's bank has proved itself to be
as solid as a rock, and in the last few
days passed smilingly through a strain
that would have caused the aVeri &c
country bank to close its doors. OW-
ing to the entirely silly and senseiess
actions of young man from Boise
who came down to draw deposit OF
$1,000, and further false rumOrs which
became circulated that this bank was
connected with the HALEY bank IRE
ported in the papers to be in troubled
and would likely become involved with
it, depositors took fright, more readily
on account of the other we'll remem-
bered failure, and began to rush in and
draw their deposits. Before night $lS,.
600 had been drawn out. When the
train came in the next day $4,000
more in cash was dumped out of the
express car and taken over to Cashier
Selwyn who smilingly ranged himself
at the window and waited for them
to come on. BY this time depositors
began to take tumble and little later
they began to walk in and re-deposit.
Mr.. Selwyn told them if they liked they
might step inside and examine the
banks condition. A committee looked
over the books and found it in the best
possible shape with $4,000 on deposit
in its correspondent banks which it
could draw on when the coin on hand
should be exhausted; securities on
hand sufficient to more than cover
every liability. The last dollar on de-
post might have been drawn out and
the bank would still have its doors
open unbroken. Nearly every dollar
drawn out is now back in the solid
Bank of Weiser which proved two
things. first that it was not connected
with the HALEY bank and second that
it could trot along under a run that
would crush the average concern
