According to the evidence elicited at
the trial, on Aug. 30 last J. C. Rand, the
complaining witness, and several other
parties were in Ross' cigar store playing
cards. They made up a purse of $1.50
and asked Ross to go out and get them
some liquor. As matter of accommo
dation he took the money and leaving his
place soon returned with a quart of
whisky, which it was shown he bought
elsewhere, and turned it over to the men.
Nothing more was thought of the mat
tier until' Oct. 16 when Rand had a quar
rel with Ross over a game of cards. He
left the place and immediately proceed
ed to Fargo, where he appeared before
Justice Ryan and swore out a warrant
for Ross' arrest, charging him with sell
ing liquor and citing the incident of
Aug. 30. The defense did not deny

Casselton, N. D., Oct. 27.—To The
Forum: We are told that the commis
sioners of the great commercial nations
are favorable to a f-atio of 32 to 1 for
silver. How did the wise body come
to fix upon that? There is no silver
surplus. England" wants' several mil
lions of ounces to coin, for India. Ev
ery Ounce Corned on the continent of
Europe passes for reat mdney at
ratio of isVs to I, and every country,
save possibly France, wants tnore. Sup
pose they were to agree upon 24 to i#
do any of them think silver bullion
would not be worth that price next
morning? If paper money has no value
except through its stamp and it passes
at par, whdre comes in the great fear
about silver? It never fell in value un
til the nations repudiated it, and then
when it bega^ to fall it dragged every
property, except interest-bearing notes
and bonds, down with it in the same
ratio that silver fell that is, gold was
appreciated until when silver had fal
len 50 per cent it was found that it re
Kjuired twice as many pounds of wheat
or cotton to buy a dollar as it required
before the nations, following the advice
of those who held most of the world's
interest-bearing securities, repudiated
half the real money of the world. Are
thes2 commissioners afraid to acknow
ledge at this late day that the demone
tization of silver was a robbery more
gigantic than was ever before perpe
trated upon the world's poor and the
great middle class, with their little
money and their work combined, are
tryirtg to live? Most of the bonds are
paid off, principal and interest, gold is
increasing vastly faster than silver,
still with all that can be obtained of
both,metals, the nations are forced to
issue vast amounts of paper money in
order to carry on their halting business.
Paper money with nothing behind it
except faith in the power of the respec
tive governments to redeem it.
It is just thirty years since silver was
demonetized, since the nations stamped
upon it, declaring that it was so plenty
that it had ceased to be a precious
metal and-was a mere commodity like
beans and potatoes but still there is
no surplus, and China alone would like
to buy an amount equal to what all the
mines of the world have supplied in
those thirty years, and that would give
her but about $4.80 per capita for her
people, while ours are clamoring for
more money, though our per capita is
$27/ Is it not time to cease hiding in
the closet or under the bed when this
silver ghost is conjilred up. There is
not .a man on that commission, not one
from the United States or Great Brit
ain or France or Germany or Russia
who. does not know that with the ratio
fixed at 24. or even 16 of silver to 1 of
sold, the commodity price of silver bul
lion would,follow .the money price and
be flhe saitie all" arSlind the world with
in twenty-four hours—that is, where
ev^er the telegraph reaches.
Why, then, do they fix upon 32 to*x?
It is to enable certain combines to pur
chase the silver product of the next
two.or three years and then reduce the
ratio one-half that theft purchases mny
double in value. It surely has that look
Why do they not sound the alarm and
point out the menace which hens' eggs
are to the world? Last year mining in
the United States was prosperous, but
the whole amount of silver mined, if
coined at the old 16 to 1 ratio, would
not pay for the hens' eggs consumed
last year by the people of this repub
lic. Why is the American hen per
mitted to ply her nefarious trade with
out censure, while a perpetual embirgo
upon and the robbery of the American
miner is called "necessary statesman
ship?" ENOS GRAY.
RECORD DEEDS.
Pembina Pioneer Express: Editor
Willson of The Pink Paper finds in
looking up the records for data ii\ the
construction of his new county map
that very m&ny people have neglected
to have the deeds which convey the
lands to the occupants and present
owners recorded, and calls attention
to the danger of this neglect. Some
people don't realize what the real val
ue of recording a deed is they seem to
think as long as they have the deed it
self, that is all that is necessary. There
are two dangers that are avoided by
recording deeds one, that if the-deed
be lost or destroyed that there is a le
gal record which is of equal value as
the original, that can rarely be lost or
destroyed and second that the former
owner cannot, either by error or inten
tionally, deed the land or mortgage it
to a third party without the third party
having legal notice that the land has
already been conveyed. If A sells or
mortgages land to B, and does not
put his deed on record, and afterward
A sells or mortgages the same land to
C, and puts his deed or mortgage on
record, then will find that he will
have a lot of trouble and likely a law
suit to prove his ownership, and under
some circumstances may find that has
thte best title. As long as the deed re
mains of record in the name of A, the
ownership is presumed to be in A and
the abstract of title will show it 19 be
so. We say as does Brother Willson.
