such plank as that can pretend to
represent the sound money sentiment
of the party or the country.
In the other states that have held
conventions thus far. saving those we
have mentioned, the Ohio example has
been followed Last in the list is New
Hampshire, which repeats the strad-
ding performance. It's platform says:
I'VE demand the enactment Of cur
rency laws that will provide a circulat-
paper which will always be inter-
changeable at its face value, because
each and every dollar of it is of the
same purchasing power as a gold dol
lar" That declaration would cover
a return to the Bland act Of 1878, or the
Sherman act of $780, 1t could be ac-
cepted as the basis of a law providing
for the free coinage Of silver, because
the free silver men contend that their
measure is consistent with the equal
value of all the different dollars. When
the New Hampshire Republicans gave
this to the public as their view of the
currency question, they Joined that
wing of the party which sees the high
est good in some possible compromise.
While we are of the opinion that a
very large majority of the Republican
party would stand for sound money
if they acted from conviction alone, it is
none the less probable that majority
OF the delegates of that party, when
It's national convention assemblies, will
be found in favor Of some position
that will admit cheap money men and
good money men at the same time.
The drift Of the party's position to-
day is toward another currency strad-
die; and not the least significant fact
squirting in that direction is the pop
ularity Of Mr.. Mckinley, who is justly
set down everywhere as the sort Of
man who could go on either side where
ever a majority might be found. What
we rather expect to see is a repetition
in the nation at large Of the fraud
which the Republican party attempted
in the state Of Kentucky. They put
forward there, as their candidate for
senator, DR.. Hunter, on a platform de-
claring explicitly for the maintenance
Of the gold standard, on which issue
they had carried the state. It was
discovered afterward that he was
pledged secretly, If elected, to assist
the free silver movement. Something
like this is to be expected from the st.
Louis convention. But the people Of
this country are not to be caught nap
ping.

THE DUNKARD IMMIGRATION.

A most satisfactory move Is that
companies to induce colonies Of
Dunkards to settle in the Northwest.
Fifteen hundred of these people
have already been located in North
Dakota, and it is said that practically
their entire settlement in Northern In
diana will follow their leaders and
make homes for themselves in the
neighborhood Of the first colony. No
better class of people. either from the
moral or the Industrial standpoint,
could be desired. The Dunkards find
1t desirable to make new homes for
themselves in a community where as
far as possible, they will occupy the
whole territory in their neighborhood.
They are people not dissimilar in
many Of their habits and religious OBJ
servances from the Quakers, and their
peculiarities' Of dress and manner are
a subject Of curious and even offensive
remark to the ignorant and malicious
members Of the communities in which
they reside who are not in sympathy
with them.
AS citizens they have no superiors.
They are quiet, inoffensive, industrious
and law-abiding. All that they ask is
to be permitted to enjoy their peculiar
faith without inviting either ridicule or
persecution. They settle their own differ
ences,and do not contribute to the bust
ness OF the courts. They are frugal. hui
name and charitable. They are splendid
farmers. and turn the country which
they inhabit into a veritable garden.
They are always on the side Of law and
order, and are a powerful factor work.
ing toward the peace and well-being
OF the state. 1t would not be possible
TO bring into any new country an ele-
ment from the outside that would con-
tribute as much to Its growth and
prosperity as an extensive immigra-
ton Of Dunkards. The Northwest Is
to be congratulated upon securing SO
