Free Silver Authority.

When quoting from the congress
ional debates on the currency ques-
ton, our free coinage contemporaries
studiously avoid any reference to the
utterances of Senators Stewart and
Jones of Nevada. This fact is the
more remarkable, because the argu-
ments of these men are now a large
part of the thunder of the free silver
organs. We do not wish to accuse
our contemporaries of an intentional
omission of the part these illustrious
gentlemen took in the currency de-
bates; it is surely an oversi ght. So
we will call attention to only one
opinion of each of these two bright
and shining free silver lights:
Senator John p. Jones of Nevada,
on June IL, 1S74-see page 1861 of
the Congressional Record of that
year-said: 81 believe the sooner we
come down to purely gold standard
the better it will be for the country"
In the same speech the senator said
that the human heart was set upon
gold, that it was the standard of high
civilization, and that when gold was
used exclusively for money it "taught
the very habit cf honesty"
On June II, 1874 Congressional
Record, page 4907-Senator Stewart
of Nevada said: THE laboring man is
entitled to have his labor measured
by the same standard of the world
that measures our national debt"
and that the question OF money
would never be settled "until you de-
termine the simple question whether
the laboring man is entitled to have
gold dollar, if he earns it, or whether
you are going to cheat him with
something else" Again, Stewart
said the English had tried to get
along without gold, and had to come
back to it, and he closed up the
whole matter, so far as he was con-
cerned, saying, "You must come to
the same conclusion that all other
people have-that gold is recognized
as the universal standard of value"
1t would scarcely be good taste,
perhaps, to accuse the senators of
demagogy now, but it is pertinent to
inquire what they will do with these
vigorously expressed preferences for
the gold standard, and whether
the bonanza free coinage would be
for the silver miners of their state,
has anything to do with their mar
velous change of heart.

Good News From South Dakota

The glorious results of this season s
harvest of golden grain will pour a
stream of sound money into the pockets
of every Dokota farmer.
South Dakota has thousands of acres
of choice farming and ranch land lying
east of the Missouri river, and within
one days ride from Chicago or Milwau-
kee which can now be bought reason
ably cheap, but which before the end
of another year may be advanced in
price.
The stock. raising industry in South
Dakota is profitable, and Eastern capt.
tai is now being invested in cattle and
sheep growing in that state.
Diversified farming, the growing of
live stock and the products of the dairy,
are placing South Dakota foremost in
the ranks of the successful Western
states.
Those desiring full information on
the subject, and particularly those who
wish to seek a new home or purchase
land, are requested to correspond with

Republican Fealty.

1t is said that there are many men
who have hitherto been proud to be
called republicans who will this year
bolt the national ticket and vote for
Bryan. The NoRTHERNER is of the
opinion that the extent of such dis
affection has been largely overesti-
mated in the interest of our dem
ocratic friends, and that as they
have passed the tale from mouth to
mouth, the number of boilers has
been doubled at each repetition.
When a man takes this position with
reference TO the republican party, he
is in exactly the same political situa-
ton as are the western senators and
others who walked out of the St
Louis convention. They as a rule
protest that they are yet republicans,
and that they will affiliate with the
party after they settle the financial
question by Bryan's election.
Now iC seems to us that the real
test of party fealty is the willingness
to support the party nominees, es-
pecially on the national and congress
sional tickets. In Michigan this
year, there being no United States
senator to be chosen, these are the
only officials into whose election the
principles of the party can be brought
into direct issue. a man might bolt
large portion, perhaps all, of the
local ticket and still vote republican
principles, but when it comes to pres
idential electors and members of con-
gress, vote against republican NOM
inees is a vote for democratic princi-
Piles, free trade, free silver, packed
courts, anarchy and all. The incen-
tive to republicans to vote the local
tickets is, not the supremacy of party
principles, but the maintenance of
party organization, that the party
may be enthused and supremacy of
republicanism maintained when par
ty issues are at stake.
A man may, it is true, vote for
Bryan this year and be a good re-
publican next year. There is no
political law against a change of par
ty affiliations. But that man can
vote for Bryan and be good repub-
lican at the same time is an anomaly
that cannot exist. The test of party
fealty is now, as it always has been
and always must be, the support of
party principles and party nominees.

Requiring but three Measures.

Ladies, we beg to call your attention
to our French tailor method of dress
cutting. 1t is absolutely the latest and
best now in use. We take but three
measures and guarantee perfect hit.
Can be learned in few lessons, is sim
pie and accurate, easy to learn and inn
possible to forget. We have just what
the people have been wanting for years,
viz: method that is simple, accurate
and cheap. We urge the necessity of
every lady learning to cut her own
dresses, regardless of present condi-
tions. We claim it an accomplishment.
We will demonstrate the merits of our
method by cutting test Innings free of
charge. Seamless waists a speciality.
We would kindly invite you to investi-
gate the merits of our method at my
place of business in Longwell block.

PLUNGED THROUGH a DRAW.
a Freight Train PIuHgeS Into Fifty
Feet of Water.


New Orleans, Jan. IA freight train
on the Louisville and Nashville railroad.
consisting of twenty-eight cars and a
coach, went through the draw at Ricol-
let's, thirty-one miles east of this city
this morning at O'clock The trestle
and bridge is a half-mile long, with a
ten foot plunge to the water, which has
a depth of about fifty feet. The bridge
had evidently been opened to allow some
vessel to pass and was left partially open.
The train was two hours late and for
some 1nexplicuble season the engineer
failed 10 notice the open draw. The To-
connective and twenty-five cars went into
the yaWning gap, carrying away three
spans of the bridge.
The engineer jumped as his engine went
over. and in some miraculous manner es-
capped with only a slight scratch on his
ming soon reached some of the wreckage,
on which he found safety.
The fireman had an arm and leg broken.
The head brakeman is thought to be
fatally injured about the head. Another
brakeman had an arm broken. The con-
ductor and rear brakeman were not hurt.

The wounded were brought here this af-
ternoon. 1t is most remarkable how any
one escaped death.
Arrangements are making to transfer
passengers at the draw. Neither the en-
gineer nor the bridge tender appear to
have taken the ordinary precautions and
both are held equally culpable.
