Stone rendered a decision yesterday in reply to n question asucd of him by County Attorney Edgar Bu chanan of Ida Grove , with reference to tbo binding out of children who are dependent upon the county for their support. Mr. BucLanan states that in Ida county there is no poor houjo , and It is do- slrablo that the children of a woman who is supported bv the county should Uo bound out. Ho wants to know whether the right to do this is with the county board of supervisors. The attorney general holds that the statutes provide that the Board of Supervisors may bind out such children of the poor house as may seem likely to ba n permanent charge upon the county , but In counties whore thcro is no poor house ho thinks it would not huvo the power. According to another provision of the statutes , however , the clerk of the dis trict court may bind out a pauper chili ! until the ago of majority Is reached , without the assent of the child or its parents , and ho knows of no provision against binding it out in n different county from its residence. Ho also holds that the mayor of the city whore a "homo for the friendless" is located may bind out n child to such homo , In case of tbo death or incapacity of its parents. _ _ > MM * Jarvis 1877 brandy , purest , safest , best , Wnll Paper.

HE CITES SOME PERSONAL EXPERIENCES "Ncbrmkn's Foremost Democrat" Tells of the Scrip IASUO of Michigan and IIo\r the Dutch Cot Along Wltli Porriwlnklu Currency. WASHINGTON' , D. C. , April 20. [ Special to TIIK BED ] . "It Is Improbable that a great money craze was evur so soon squelched us has boon the free silver movement , " sa'.d Hon. J. Sterling Morton , Nebraska's strong est democrat , to your corro spondont the other day. Governor Norton is recognized throughout the east as the best posted demo crat in the west , especially upon financial issues. "For a time In the last congress It looked as though the bill providing for the free coinage of silver could not bo uopt uwuy from the president , " continued the governor , "but did you over notice the luck of the re publican party in warJlfg off vicious legisla tion , oven within its own party ! Ot course the president would have vetoed the bill , but he was saved the troubio and the conn try luo consequent deleterious .effects by having a speaker who had tbo nerve as well as the tuct to prevent the culmination at the while houso. Now the free silver craze Is almost in the past. I don't think there Is the least possible chauco for the bill now , and by the time Iho next con gress is installed the fever will have died out. At one tlmo it was moro formidable and menacing than the wildest greenback craze , moro threatening than the worst Infla tion wo have hud since the war , and it took a long time lo got rid ot some of the move ments which have in the past wrecked par ties and disturbed commerce. " Kducntloii Uid the "To what do .YOU attribute this decadence of the free coinage movement , governor ! " was nskcd. "Solely to education , Intclligoncn , " was the quick reply. "When the greenback craze of tno ' 70j swept the country Iho farmers and mechanics , who were curried away with It most , read comparatively littlo. Now they all read and think for themselves. They saw Iho direct result of free coinage and re fused lo be misled. U takes the farmer , mechanic , laborer or other man but a few hours to reach an Intelligent conclusion upon an is.-uio these days. They rofnso to lake us gospel the mere statements of dema gogues who want to use them lor political purposes. The movement for free colnago reminds mo very forcibly of some Incidents within my own knowledge. It Is simply history repeating itself , and if wo were to adopt f rco coinage it would bo the federal government resuming on the largest possible sculo the wildcat schemes of stuto banks a quarter of a century almost before the war. It would bo every whit as bad ns the issue of state scrip In the " 50s. The states wero-com- purativcly us able to Issue mid redeem scrip tor their own people as is Ihc federal govern ment to issue an inferior dollar for Iho whole country , yes the ctitiro world. Michigan' * Scrip Issuo. "I recall as if it were yesterday my Hrst experience in legislation. 1 was Just past my majority In my nnllvo state , Michigan , and was upon my iirst term in the Iccislaturo at thu head of the corannttoo on Judiciary when u state scrip bill ca.no before mo. I bitterly opposed it ns a species of wildcatism which would como homo to roost. U'ncn wo wcro about to vote upon its Html adoption In committee I insisted that those woids should bo printed across the face of the scrip : 'Bill Holders Individually Liable. ' I Insisted that the scrip should not bo circu lated under falsa pretenses , for I knew tbo state had nothing but its honor to make its obligations good , the same us is true of the federal government at this tlmo with silver , and further that honor is changeable in its standard of party advantage ; and 1 further know that thu stuto was about to take upon luelf more obligations than it could over meet nt face vulue < I engendered a great deal of 111 fouling and made myself unpopular for thr position 1 tdok , but Dually public opinion changed , and it lias upon tbo ques tion of free coinage1' ' the- t during thepa : > few years , and tlio mon'who ' stood out for honest money wcro tbo statesmen of the period. Holland' * rortju'lnulo Currency. "The proposition for free colnago reminds mo also of a bit of.i history from Holland. During the reign of William thu Tasty there wus an uprising tor , Inflation. The people demanded a Hood of currency , and there was llnally an Issue of porrlwlnklo currency wbioh for awhilu made times so easy that , among themselves , , the Dutch bccamo rich beyond measure. TJljo government Just Issued perriwinklo to its kiibjocis till everybody's clothes were lined whh it. Things wont along smoothly , swimmingly , ns all the trading was among tuo Dutch'edlonio * directly under William tbo Tevty , Cheeses and sauer Kraut brought high prices. Labor was paid In urmsful of perriwinklo scrip. It bore the Dutch pledge nnd the Dutch took it as read ily as gold , The Hollanders wcro dellchted , They had paid their debts und were fairly loaded uown with monoy. Kverything com- maiidod a high urico and everybody had cash for obligations. But Nemesis wus lying la wait. It Wouldn't liny Onions. "Ono day tha Hollanders concluded they wanted tn ship a load of onions and they took a cargo of perriwinklo and wont down to Welhorslicld for the odoriferous vegetable. The ship was loaded and the crew had boarded tbo vessel re.idy to sot Kail for Ilol- lauu. The porriwlnklo was brought forth for payment. To the amazement of the Dutch , perriwinklo was not a loirul tender In that province. In fact the Woibcrsllcld folks refused to take the stuff for any value. With humiliation heaped upon disappointment the Dutch unloaded their onions tnd sailed home. Their perriwinklo. was as good uway from their owu shore * us to much Tliis PKFCIOUS OINTMENT is the triumph of Scientific Medicine.

" AVill Sliniily Do Nothing. Thcro will bo no silver , tariff , national bank , public land or any other concrnl legis lation at tha bauds of congress , in this ses sion nt least. This much is now conceded upon both sides. The wild schemes of the democrats in the house would never bo accepted by a republican senate , und the progressive legislation of the republican senate docs not meet the approval of the demo crats , if for no other reason , bccnuso It is in the line of enterprise. Generally the repub licans strike 1'or legislation .to develop the country , to put now interests upon their foot nud look after not only the interests of individuals , but ttio government. This mcuns expenditures , in some instances , and In others experiments. The democrats have determined , as they did in thn two past con gresses , to simply create doMcier.cies in car rying forward the postoflico and other inter ests of the nnd " " . people , "saving" moiioy. They have , as they nro Donating , passed tewor pri vate pension bills than have been passed since the ' 70s. When there is another sur plus piled up in tlio treasury , nt the expense of the soldiers and cill/.cnb generally , and enterprise has been at u standstill tor n low years , the democtats will aguln make a dash for absolute free trade nnd point as nn argu ment for It to tno "surplus" which has boon "saved" by them. A surplus is as n scab upon an old sore : They itch to pick it off , and they want to do it bv frco trade.P. P. P. H. J .V. % O UA (111.11 > i.V I'i. Messrs.
