Early yesterday morning the police wore

Diclc Urundon nnd Sober Hums reclined on
the velvet cushions of the steel cell in the
Council Bluffs city jail. They could have
stayed on Nebraska soli for n few days had
they boon disposed to stand upon their rights
nnd demand requisition papers , but they
had evidently been there before nnd know
that such a move would only postpone mat
ters i day or two nt most.
Cicorgo Stephens , the employe of the motor
company who was robucd , went to the ofllco
ol' the city cleric and tiled an information
charging them with robbery , the articles
xnlten being $11) ) in money belonging to the
Omaha & Council Bluffs Bridge company
and a silver watch nnd pistol of his owii.
There Is about us clear a ease ngnlnst
the two men us Is often ob
tained. Uhcn they wore arrested they
throw away a bundle when they supposed
the ofllcors wcro not looking , but It wus tukcn
In charge b.v the oftlccrs and found to contain
the stolen property , which was afterwards
Iilcntillcd by the owner. Both men Htatod
yesterday that they would waive examina
tion nnd submit to bolng bound over to the
grand jury without going through the usual
preliminaries. Orandon Is well known to

The members of the lire department \vero
considerably interested in reading the state
ment made In Tns Bcc yos'.crday that
n movement was on foot to cut down
the department by decapitating oi.o man

was not wholly unlocked for. however , na
the men have been expecting that ; the now

trine , would skip the lira departments in Us
rounds with Us little nxo. It was bad
enough , thev thought , when the edict went
forth that the salaries should be cut down nil

the number are not to bo allowed anything

of it , and the blissful uncertainty us to which
of them Is to bo called upon to servo the city
for nothing or seek now pastures has
aroused anticipation nil along the lino.
Tlio members of the department have de
termined to invoke the assistance of the In

signed bv the Insurance agents , agroeliic
that If the lire department is cut down the
rules of insurance shall bo shoved up on

would bo inadequate to the needs of the city.
The dromon reason that the quickest way to
put u stop to excessive "retrenchment and

Binding Out Pauper Children.
Attorney General John Y. 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.

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

"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

hours to reach an Intelligent conclusion upon
an is.-uio these days. They rofnso to
lake us gospel the mere statements of dema

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

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

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

then It would go only at home , and Dually it

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.
