The Bitter Past.


There was time when a portion of
the United States saw fit to secede.
The movement was originated by men
who were against good government;
just such as Altgeldt and Tillman and
others who now urge lawlessness and
unsound policies.
In the time of secession the new
party had money of it's own, confed-
crate money. In the blindness of
their mistaken hope they thought
this money as good as any other.
They took it in payment for debts and
boldly marked it with the stamp of
their new government.
Illustrating the purchasing power
of that money we will repeat a story:
A southern farmer owned mule. In
driving this animal along the road
one day he was accosted by neighbor
who wanted mule to mate one he
possessed. After considerable feeling
of the owner the man who wanted to
purchase said:
"Neighbor, I'll give you one thous-
and dollars good confederate money
for your mule, and pay you cash on
the spot.'
The owner rose up in his stirrups
and exclaimed: "Why, you gosh
hanged fool, I've just paid fifteen
hundred dollars to have the mule
shod."
And it is on this plan that the free
silver advocate is operating. He
admits the silver will not be worth as
much as gold by one-half, but excuses
this by arguing that there will be
more of it.
Many miners in this region well
remember the 'iron" money Of the
earlier history of this country. A
man would put a thousand dollars
worth of it under his pillow at night
and wake up in the morning to find
that it was not worth a cent. In
those days the mining companies of
the wildcat order printed their own
money. The editor of this paper we'll
remembers printing thousands of
dollars of it on an ordinary job press
for the mining concerns Of this
county.
It was an easy way to make money.
Every man could print his own, but
like all such currency, it soon grew
in disfavor because of it's worthless
ness. 1t could only be used where it
was known, at home.
1t would be so with silver. 1t
would drive all the gold from our
country, and our silver would de-
preciate to such an extent that great
loss would result to those who were
paid in 1T.
The silver producer would make
millions, but he would make it be-
cause he disposed of it. And the man
who took it would be the sufferer.
If the silver mine owners would
make fifty cents on every dollars
worth, then he could only make it out
of those who absorbed it. Natural
ly, the laborer would be hurt more
than anyone else. There is no other
honest view of the situation.
There is no money too good, and
American people should have the
best.-IrOn Ore.

NEW DISCOVERIES

The Photographic process by which
pictures can be taken right through
several inches of substances, hereto
fore supposed to be impervious to
light, is long step to that final dis
covery which is sure to come, which
will unfold to us the mysterious con-
nection Of light, heat, electricity and
magnetism, and perhaps of other
known and unknown forces of nature.
No philosopher has in his widest
speculations ever dreamed of the
power of man over time, gravity, fric-
tion and motion. when that pheno-
meDa which We call light is fully un-
derstood. When man can slip his
bride over light and it's companion
forces, this will be different world,
and it looks as though the time was
near when the average mortal will.
like Jove, make the thunderbolts of
heaven his humble servants.
L. makes one wish for another GEN.
tury of life just to see what man will
find out in that time, and see what
the results may be to the world.

COURT.

Judge Sauter arrived on Monday
and opened court in the afternoon.
The case of William e. Doyle, Of
Drayton, who was found guilty of Sc
ductlon under promise of marriage, ,at
the last term of court, was called up
for sentence of prisoner, which had
been suspended pending motions bv
Mr.. Kneeshaw, the attorney for the
defence. Mr.. Kneeshaw made a
strong plea for a light sentence in
jail. The Judge stated that he had
received petitions for leniency from ci-
tizens of Drayton; but he went on
further and c0ntrasted the lifelong
punishment, poverty and shame Of
the woman and said he could not see
but what justice demanded the pun
nishment of the man. He then sem
fenced Doyle to one year and two
months in the penitentiary at Bis
marck. The case may yet be taken
to the supreme court and Doyle will
not be taken to Bismarck for four or
five days yet.
The case of the County VS.. Geo. III.
McCabe, sheriff, was then taken up.
The general nature Of this case has
already been made known to the pub
lie in these columns. The total
number Of charges in the complaint
are very numerous, and may be put
under three general heads; first,
charging or collecting fees for servi.
ces which were not performed; Sc
cond, charging excessive mileage in
Two ways, by adding more miles than
the actual distance from point to
point. and also, by charging mileage
from Pembina for each individual
subp@naed, though two or more
names appear on one subpoena and
these persons live In the same locality
and on the same day are called by the
sheriff to appear In the same case.
The third general charge iu the com.
platnt is, issuing a. false redemption
certificate for land sold under mort
gage. 1t is charged by the commit
tee and shown by the records that
the time of redemption expired Oh
said land sometime in March and that
the redemption was allowed aud re-
corded In August. Aud that after
ward sheriff's deed was given for
the same land reciting that the GER
tificate before mentioned was illegal
and given under misunderstanding
OF law.
There was further charge of mis-
management Of the Jail and allowing
the escape OF prisoners.
