Following ia a letter which is appropri-
ate to the present trouble at tho Howard
| School, and which is kindly furnished by
| Mr. Stansbury Murray, Jr. Although the
letter was written seven years ago II p6r.
trays the situation to-day as 1t did then:
"a Prospect street.
Cambrilgepo"t Mass, Aug IS, 1889.
My Dear Mrs. Coleman:-
have every prospect OF being able to
raise sho money for Sarah's board, and
Miss Dovers mother vii! board hor. She
will be in tho sana block with Lillian
Spencer and they can attend school TOD
gdthcr. A.
= have enough mcnoy nov 10 pay her
board for ono month and think when n
leave here shall have enough to get her
I safely through tho year, Please get herl
ready and bring her up to Philadelphia ons
Sunday, the first day of August, No, thatl
is mistake, l should have said Sunday
the first day of September Mrs. Dover'1
address is No. 1923 South Seventeenth
street. Lillian knows whcra it Is. l shall
be at Mrs. Dover's on Sunday. Can you
come up with Sarah Oh the boat Sunday
morning?
You could bring,Ler here and have talk
with Mrs. Dover. l am not sure what
Mrs. Dover will charge her for board, but
She Will only charge enough to pay for
wash dishes and run erranLs, but at the
same time We will arrange it SO that she
shall have tho regular times for study.
Let me hear from you rs soon ms possible. \
| think we are going to say in the future,
isn't Sarah Coleman II smart woman"
Very respectfully, y
EDwINA d. KRUsE. 4
Mrs. Coleman very properly refusing#
Miss krllses charitable offer applied{f
again for admission for her daughter! "
when it is alleged Miss Kruse In an angry
manner closed the door on her again, intA
forming her there would be no coursess1 n
Again we would like to ask why MlsSV
krusc, after 50 many years of labor here
for the education of the colore1 youth, /
should di3suale the continuance of the
higher department.. 1t seems to us J
that The lady places herself on tho
horns of II dilemma. Either her years
of labor have been failure and without
result, or her professions are false in tho
extreme.
And yet this lady is still to be the r rim.
clpul Of the Howard School, and if you.
question hdr ability her would be friends
would call you "coons' and say that you
are not capable of Judging as to who
should teach your children.

farmer is T. j. Erdahl Another charge
is that he made an attack upon Pat
rick Cronan, an old man, in Nelson
Brothers store, and kicked the old
man, who is no match for him phys
ical1y. He has had several ether dis
putes with farmers, and the records
of the Justices court at Morris tell the
tale of at least two cases where he
has been one of the principals in cases
of assault. The complaints of short
weight, and losses through other caus-
es, when wheat has been sold at this
elevator, are numerous. The complaint
referred to above contains other seri-
Gus charges, which are stated in the
plainest of language. A letter-press
copy of the complaint may be seen in
the letter book of the treasurer of
stevens county, at the court house at
Morris.
Since the Interstate house was built
the farmers have received better prices
and fairer weights and grades. Still
much of the wheat that ought to come
here is marketed at Chokio, Kensing-
ton and Farwell. There have been in
dependent buyers at all three of these
points, and the farmers who live few
miles from here have sold their wheat
at one or the other of these markets.

DEBTS.
But" say our free silver friends debts
could be paid easiest and thus relieve the bur-
dens of the masses
Could debts be paid easier, and, If So what
DEBTS? Yes, all debts that not spe-
clhcaliy payable in gold could be paid more
easily, but what sort of debts are these?
Debts that savings and other banks owe their
depositors debts that insurance companies Of
all sorts owe their policy holders debts that
trustees owe to those whose funds they hold
IN trust; debts that great corporations and
other employers owe their employees in the
form or wages salaries; debts owing by
Town or village, ycity or county state or ma
tion 10 their servants; all bonded debts where
the money OF payment is not specified. All
such debts could be paid in the cheapest
money that Is legal, and the creditor would be
absolutely helpless.
Many debts, however could not be so paid
Nearly all existing mortgages are made specif-
lcally payable in gold coin of the present
weight and hneness; SO are nearly all notes CIV
en- to banks for short-time accommodations
BEFORE free coinage could be carried, all mort
cages and notesiof this character would have
10 De PAID or renewed with gold clause. 1t
Is, therefore, hard TO understand how free
coinage would help the ordinary poor debtor
mat IL could be worked to help rich corpora
tlons and other wealthy debtors is plain.
so Iar have not considered the question of
honesty An honest dollar is one that neither
increases nor diminishes in purchasing power
as the months and years go by. 1t is claimed
mat the gold dollar has greatly increased in
purchasing power during the past twenty years
or more, and is. therefore, dishonest dollar
rms is ali true, but is that a warrant for
adopting dollar that will permit the wrongs
that nave demonstrated would follow the
success or the free coinage movement? Be-
cause gold has been a criminal shall We
therefore,, knock him down in order to set
up greater criminal?
remember this: That the wrongs done by
PAD currency legislation, once done, are done
forever. You can no more right those wrongs
IMAM you can bring murdered man to life
You might catch and punish the lawmakers
VINO were guilty of the wrong, just as you
might hang the murdered; but the murdered
man would still be dead. Those who have been
ruined by the bad currency legislation of the
past would still be ruined, and any further
change IN the value of the dollars would only
prlng ON further crop of ruin.
MY friends, think of these things For over
seventeen years have carefully studied these
questions, and have tried to be fair to all
sldes. Always a worker myself, my sympa-
thleS nave ever been with the plain people
iladiy would | help to tighten their burdens
ior surely they are grievous and hard to bear
put IN the silver movement I see no hope
nothing but harder conditions for the masses
feWer comforts for the plain people.
Believe me, in all sincerity, your humble
Irleno: &C. J. Buell..
