We notice with pain that q few
persons who pretend to. bei in favor
Of the coinage of silver and gold.
at the ratio Of 16 TO | are holding
up hopes that something can be
accomplish by securing Europe
an legislation in behalf Of the
United States. There is no doubt
that Mr.. Mckinley feels constrain-
ed, in compliance with the ST. Louis
platform, to send commission to
Europe to ask permission Of the
monarchs Of the Old World for
the United States to legislate with
regard to our own domestic affairs;
but for any real bimetallist to pre-
tend that there is the slightest
hope that any good can come to
this country f,om any legislation
that Europe will give us is an OUT
81 % Ff
rage upon common sense and CONF
mon decency. Any contract made
with Europe will be against the
interests of the United States. Il
will tie this government up and
prevent Legislation under the con-
stitution. We do not believe that
anything can be accomplished by
the commission.
We make no criticism of the per-
sonel of the commission. That is
all very we'll, but we are opposed
to the humiliating position of ap-
pealing to Europe to do what is
the duty of our government to do
without regard to any other ccun-
try. We warn the bimetallists that
the whole scheme is to prevent the
restoration Of silver. IF it can be
kept alive until another election
and the people are fooled again by
international bimetallism, the OBJ
ject of the scheme will have been
accomplished.
We do not question the good
faith Of Mckinley to comply with
the pledge in the platform, but we
condemn the pledge as un. Ameri-
can, unpatriotic, and a surrender
of the sovereignty Of the United
States.

EALK AGAINST TIME.

! l y u Is - f
All sorts Of euesses are being
made as to the length Of time that
the tariff bill will he debated in
the senate. Undoubtedly it will
be the first day Of July or even
later before the bill passes that
body. Even with an ordinary de-
bate on the innumerable schedules.
several weeks VIII necessarily be
occupied. A glance at the records
of the various tariff bills Of the
past indicates that even without
opposition the time consumed in
consideration is much longer than
the advocates Of prompt action are
willing to concede in this case.
The facts are instructive:
Walker tariff bill debated in the sen.
ate fifteen days. -
Mills tariff bill debated in the senate
forty-One days.
Mckinley bill debated in the senate
forty-four days.
Wilson bill debated in the senate
ninety three days.
The Mckinley bill was in con-
ference about three weeks, and the
Wilson bill remained in conference
six weeks. 1t is expected that the
Dingley bill, after it passes the
senate, will be in conference about
g month.

Jim Hills Surveyors Drive Stakes
for q 90 Mile Extension
Of This Branch.
WILL Built AT ONCE.
Il Will Run Along the North East
Bank Of Rush Lake To be
Operated By Fall.
OF This Branch,

The probability Of the extensicn OF this
branch Of the Ct. Northern has put on
all the appearance Of being q reality in
the eyes OF even the most skeptical since
last Saturday afternoon when Mr.. Alex
Stewart, the company's CHIEF surveyor,
ard staff OF eight assistants commenc-
ed stalking out the proposed ex tension Of
the road. Ss
On Monday the party Of surveyors
staked out a temporary line in a north
westerly direction from town for q dis
tance OF nine miles, which has since been
re-surveyed and the stakes driven home,
only to be removed when the grader.
throws up the road bed. From the linn
tied information obtainable it is learned
that the line will travers the north east
side OF Rush Lake and reach it's terminus
within two miles of the boundary line,
near Hannah post office.
This morning the surveying party left
the town behind them for good until the
work is completed which it is expected
will require about ten days during which
time their white camping tents will dot
the prairie marking the progress Of the
long looked for line OF railroad in the
western side of the county. The arrival
Of the construction train and Its crew of
graders, scrapers and track layers is
understood will follow as soon as the
way is laid out for them and all inform
alton obtainitble indicates that railroad
ing this summer is not ythical talk but
OF strong fabric made out ofwhole cloth.
1t is too coon to speculate on the many
benefits and advantages to be derived,
but it is settled fact that all will be
gamers by it's advent and the incoming
OF new settlers and demand created for
land will make Cavalier county one big
busy hive OF industry and prosperity.
