/ demonstration and Europe followed
cur example. The fac, remains, how
ever that this measure did not finally
pass the Senate unal January II, 1873.
( .. If your goldbug friend tells YOU
that Mr.. Seyd did not come to this coun-
try ne tells You falsehood or else he
doesn't know Inc truth. In the Con
gressional Record Of April 8, 1873, page
/ 2.0S2. appear these words from Mr..
Hooper. of Massachusetts, chairman of
the committee on coinage: ERNEST Seyd,
of London, a distinguished writer and
bulion.s.. who is now here has given
great attention to the subject Of minis
and coinage. After having examined
she first draft of this bin, he made var
ious sensible suggestions, which the
committee adopted and embodied in the
bill" Just how Mr.. Seyd managed to
be now here and at the same time in
England is not apparent But perhaps
the Bankers Magazine for August
1873. may help us out:

Further. Hon. Gilbert De Lamatyr, Of

ard men in the Northwest and Is proud
Of the result in this state
The complete victory of the Re-
pub11cans in this state has daZed the
silver men. They carried only seven
counties in the state, and even Cav
alier county, the bulwark Of silver, had
decreased fusion majority The
fusion nominee for governor, R. B.
Richardson, ran behind the rest of the
ticket, largely on account OF the fact
that his prohibition record and affilia-
tions were distasteful to the majority
OF the Democrats who are anti-Prohi-
bitionists. John Burke made a very
creditable race against Congressman
Johnson, but failed by about 4,000
votes.
The poor calculations of the silver
state committees were shown in re-
gard to Trail county, which was
claimed by them to be the seat of a
revolution Of sentiment, hundreds of
Republicans turning over, yet Traill
county gave Mckinley over 1000 ma
jority, which marked it as the banner
county of the state, THE slope" as
the counties bordering on the Missouri
river are called, gave a heavy Re-
publican majority and made great Re
publican gains. 1t is claimed by the
silver men that the rise IN the price
of wheat, two weeks before election,
carried this state and Minnesota. Since
election the constant rise in wheat
has pleased all the farmers and they
are more ready than ever to vote the
Republican ticket

PUBLIC NEEDS PROTECTION,
Police of st. Paul Make Too Many
Fatal Blunders

To the Editor of the Globe.
Within the last three years several per-
sons have been carried to the police stations
in this city drunk and disorderly, thrown
into cell, and there left to die In more
than one instance the injuries from which
the unfortunate victim had been suffering
were of such a nature that had competent
surgical aid been summoned the persons life
would have been saved 1t is not the pur-
pose of this communication to lay the blame
Tor this crime against humanity against the
police, for it is no part Of the police officers
ordinary requirements to be able to diagnose
difficult cases of disease or injury, yet his
instruction in first aid to the injured should
qualify him against certain grave and fatal
mistakes in the treatment of prisoners but
it is desirous that the humane public should
realize the extent of the criminal want of
care which prevails, not only in st. Paul
but nearly everywhere, in the treatment of
those who for any reason at all may be
found among the detained at the police sta
tion. There are great many cases of injury
to the head producing symptoms more or
less closely resembling those induced by al
cohol. There are many diseased conditions
with symptoms like those of other forms of
intoXfcation. What is needed, what is de-
manded in the interests of common human
ity; is that a person found incompetent and
uncared for, and taken in charge by the au-
thorities, should have immediate medical at
tendance. If need be, a special medical off,
Ger should be on duty constantly for just this
service.
Without, at this time going into the case
Of Edward Burns, who yesterday died at the
Rondo station, l will recall the case of a
young Swede who some time ago received
blow on the side of the head from one of the
iron posts of the interurban line. The man
seemed but little hurt at the time. He rode
to Minneapolis, acted queerly there, was picked
up by the police and sent back to st. Paul;
was taken in charge here, put into a cell,
and there died unattended. The autopsy de-
veloped that he died of a rupture of the mid
have saved him. Such an accident
may happen to any one, and the fate of the
young Swede, of Edward Burns of yester-
day, may be In store for any of the readers
of these lines. The remedy lies with the city
legislative bodies. The responsibility is
theirs, and it is not light one We; may
build ice palaces to burn, but why not heed
the voice of a higher civilization .frstgA

JEWISH COUNCIL CONCLUDES
Mrs. Solomon, of the Chicago Sec
tion, Chosen President.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-The fifth, last
and in some respects most interesting
session of the council Of Jewish women
was held today, with the president.
Mrs. Hannah G. Solomon. of Chicago,
in the chair. The work included the
election of national officers for the next
three years. For the past year a great
deal Of rivalry has cropped up between
the Chicago section, which now domi-
mates the council, and the New York
section, the members Of which felt
that they were not sufficiently repre-
sented on the national board The fol-
lowing were put in nomination and
elected:
President, Mrs. Hannah G. Solomon.
of Chicago; first vice president, Mrs
Sophia Baer, of New York; second vice
president, Mrs. E. MandeI, of Chicago:
corresponding secretary, Miss Sadie
American, Of Chicago; recording sec
retary, Miss Gertrude Berg Of PhiladeI-
phia; treasurer. Miss Carrie NJ Wolf.
of Chicago.
At the morning session a delegate
offered a resolution sympathizing with
the Armenians. who suffer from reli-
gfOuS persecution. This provoked a
great deal Of discussion. Mrs Frede-
rick Nathan said that there was a
great difference Of opinion, as to wheth-
er the Armenians were prosecuted or
not. "A great many people are of the
opinion said she, that the Arme-
mans have brought all the trouble on
themselves through political .ntrigues,
and don't think it IL our province
to decide who is to blame" After some
more discussion, the resolution was
tabled.
Another resolution was introduced.

Detective Chased Out of Virginia
After III BLOODY Battle.

WILLIAMSON, w. Va, Nov. 19.-J H.
Clark, the detective who recently arrested
the notorious Cap Hatfield, is now him
self fleeing from the vengeance of the Mounts
and their friends, Clark and NJ. S. Bevens
undertook the arrest at Delorme of Anderson

in Kentucky, and for whom a reward was
offered They found Mounts in the custody
of his father,s charged with some infraction
of the West Virginia law. He refused to be
arrested and the usual battle followed. Clark
and Bevens killed Mounts and mortally
wounded his father. Realizing that they had
made a mistake in trying to arrest man
already in custody, the detectives fed. The
friends of the Mounts a. once offered a re-
ward for the detectives. and party started
in hot pursuit. The pursuers managed to
shoot Clark in the shoulder, but he managed
to get over the line in Kentucky.
