FRIDAY, DECEMBER 0, 1881, \\T ne western half of Dakots Is worthless for agricultural purposes, Assuming that there Js 9 population of 20,000 in the'three Black Nills-‘countles—a liberal” estinate— there are probably not-5,000 white persdus in all the rest of the finmense aren west of the Missouri River. Tho residents in this re- glon are so few that they cut no figure at all in the census of 1880, . Yet there ara several stage'routes and a railrond ranning through this part of the Territory. If it had any ene pacity for agriculture the tact would jong ago have been known und the rush of Smit: gration would have ovarilowed the whole western partof tho Territory ns it has tho enstern part, ‘Theattemptto divide this worth- less western half in two by an east-and-west Nne and give half of It to cach of two new Stutes ought.not to succeed. ‘Tho Territory should bo adinitted as a whole, and the west- em part, which ‘has no power of sustaining a population, should be thrown fn as 9 make- welght with tho fortlle lands In the east and north, ‘Tite reported Intention of appointing Mr, Robert 'T, Lincaln to a forelgn mission as a means to removing him from the place he now occupies in the Cabluet would bo an Ungratoful and unfair use of the Executive privilege, ‘Cho appolutment of Mr. Lincotn us Secretary of War by President Garfleld was recelved with pleasure all over the coun- try, and for shiniinr reasons his removal will tnegt with goneral disnpproval.

Qulteau profers that the assasin, hls brother, shat! pay the penalty of his crime rather than that their father shall have fagtened upon him the falsehood of insanity, And this fact Is a significant commentary on thé character of tho assasin as viewed by his brother, 1¢ seems, at the first blush, eruel in the brother not to be willlng to save tha Ife of hls near kinsman at tho expense of an assault upon Als father’s memory In a colluteral proceed ing. It Is in thiy fact that the significance of John W. Guiteaw's declaration that “ he 1s In Washington to defend the. memory of hls father, Luther W, Guitean, from the churgo of insanity” appears. Ils contempt and detestation of the character of the assnsin of the President Is stronger ‘than the ties of blood. He regards the memory of his dead father as moro precious than the vilo lifeot lity Infamous brother, Itis plain that Jon W. Guiteau entertains so poor an opinion of Uls brother's character that ho thinks it mora creditable to the family that he should hang than that the taint of Insanity should be at- tached to the Guiteau name forever, ‘This helng tho case, some conception may be formed of the detestation John W, Gulteau feels for Charles J. Guiteau. He evidently bolieves that the assasin {s not Insane, but is without a single redeeming trait; that if ace quitted ho would not bo suffered to liye, and that itis better to accept the situation, to let the Jaw do ics work, rather than drag the famlly name tu the mira of insanity ina frultless effort to saveutifo that is justly forfeit, What a contrast is presented by the brothers! ‘Tue Arthur-Folzer project to demonetizo the $15 miltlons of legal-tender greenbacks, and to abolluh sllver certificates, and to stop the coinage of silver money Is simply and solely adevics for doubling up the vatuu of bonds, niortgages, monyy, and credits of ull forms.

Tho growth of business In the future would bo stunted, and the necessities of thy debtor Increased, by tho ellininntion of stlyer coin from the money resoureus of the land. Every farmer whose land is mortgaged, every householder who owes a balniee on his home, every merehant, mannfacturer, and trader who conduets a business larger in volume than. his actual capital, would find himself Jn the tolls, Tho money-lenders along wautd be the bonufictaries of tls huge contraction scheme, aud tho cntreprenenra— the men who haye the enterprise and take the risks which develop the conntry, supply em- ployment for labor, Ul the ground, hulid the mills, constrnet the rallroads, enlarge tho conmicree, and contribute to tho progress and prosperity of the Aimerican people—all these would’ be at the marey of usur- ors, the goldites, and tho cent-percent brokers, Fortunately thera 1s no ren: son for alarm, ‘because there Is no danger that the contrattion scheme will re- eelve the tndorsement of Congress. ‘Ihe number of Congressmen from districts west of the Aileghenivs who can be used to serve the money-lenders may be counted on the fingers of onw hand. But this docs not ox- tenuate the willingness of Folger to act ago toul, nor the folly of the President In approv- ing the foruier’s suggestion, ‘The Aduitils- tration will Mind this avawed polley of cone traction stitial unless it ahall cut fouse froin It without more delay. Tk was precisely this dauger Presilent Arthur Inenrred when he yielded to tho tmportunttes of Wall street nul appointed the very agent whom 1t was proposed to Iinpose upon Garfield. It ls ensy to understand how aman who endeny- ored to beat the Government ont of $170,000 to whluh he had no elatm should urge a seluine designed to rob the masses of un- counted millions, but It Is not elear why tho President of the United States, Just entering Upon an Administration of threo years, should blacken his future by lending counte- nancy to such a ‘pottey. ASSAULT ON THE CURRENCY BY THE PRESIDEYT AND SECRETARY, ‘The new Administration Is eomnitted by the President's message snd tho report of the Secretary of the Treasury to n financial polley which, if persisted tn, will wrout it, and, In the meantime, may injure the country. This polley Is no more. nor less than a vast schemo of contraction,. ‘Tho Seerefary recommends (1) the enrly retire- ment of tho silver certificates, now rep- resenting $60,000,000 of the best and most popilar currency, and the repent of the Jaw authorizing further Issue thoreof; (2) the pinctical demonctization of stlyer by tha suspension of the coinage of standard silver dollars; and (3) 0 repeal of the legal-tender property of the greenback notes, ‘I'he Pres- ident in hls message specifically approves of the first two of these suggestiuny, and gives a tacit assent to the third. These three Tevommendations embrace the necessary prellminury steps to a reduction of the legnl-tender resources of the country to the Hinited, inadequate supply of golt alone. The propusition Is the revival of tho old Wall street and money-lenders’ scheme, which has been deteated in Con- gress and before the people every thne and in every shape It has been brought forward. Its renewal at the very beginning of an Ad- ministration which Is under the predominate intucnceof Wall street is sufleluntto arouse popular apprehension and create general distrust. If the peapte belleved there were really any danger of these mensured meet- ing with approval from Congress, ‘the sug- gestion thereof would be enough to produce sotnething like a pantie in antlelpation of the inevitable disaster that would follow thelr adoption, . . The Scerctary of the Trensiiry affects an apprehension of trouble from a possible contraction of the currency that may resull from a movement among tha banks for the withdrawal of bonds and retirement of thelr notes, and advises that a tw be passed pro- hibiting them from retiring their currency except after a previous notice of a fixed period to be determined by Congress, ‘This Isa transparont plece of hypocrisy on his part, for he himself advises asudden aid enormous contraction of the currency by the retirement of $04,000,000 of allver certificates, and a steady, growing, and’ stlillng contraction in the future by the pro- hibition of the further issue of the silver cer- Utientes,. the further coinage of silver dollurs,, and tho further use of 350 millions of legal-tender notes, If there wero reason to fear that the Nattonal bunks should combing to retire the total anonnt of thelr elreulating notes (of which there fs not the slightest dangor 60 long ua the country witl uso thut kind of currency), such a prospect would not be so alarming as tho thrent of outting off tho supply of sliver dtollars, silver certificates, and the legul-tender uso of greenbacks, If there bo’ any dan- ger, as tho Secrotary of the Treasury pre- tenas to bulleve, that the National banks may reduce thelr circulation to any extent that shall cango “ grave embarrassments to busl- ness,” what better protection ean the coun- iry enjoy than a relianco upon the coln- age of silver dollars and the issue of allver certificates. representing the actual deposit of coln? While aifucting to belleve that a contraction of the currency may result trom some concerted action of the banks, the astute Secrotary of tne Trens- ury, who hag had about six weoks' experl- ence fn National finance, deliberately pro- poses to deprive the American peoplo of an ample and permanent retlef against such contraction by ubandoning silver, silver cer- titteates, and the Jegal-tendor grecnbacks, and by reduaing tho debt-paying money of the country to gold, Such a proposition ts as fogleal as It !s hazardous and Injurlous, It can hardly fail to puzzle the thinking people of this country to guess why the Act- ing President and Ms chosen Secretary of the Treasury should start out by suegesting An agitation for 9 revolutiouary change Ins currency which is absolutely safe in its sey- eral vartotles, abundant in volume, resvon- sive to business necessities, and satisfactory to the masses, ‘There 43 only one oxplann- tlon for thls apparently erratio ani por- Verse course, It hus been adopted In obedience to the dictation of Wall street and the mortgage-holders and nioney- tenders of the Enst.

NEED OF A NAVY. ‘The question of bullding a navy, or so tm- proving the present navy of thts country that Hewill bo worthy of taking rank among the navies of the world, Is now actively ean yassed in naval circles, and has been recom: mended to tho consiioration of Congress hy the Secretary of tha Navy and tne President.

A NEW BANKRUPT LAW. In 1878 Congress repealdd tho bankrupt Jaw which had buen dn force for nearly welve yoars and had been varlously amended. By common judgment that law had Leeome> odious, and practienlly served no purpose other than to curich certain oflleers of the courts aud the attorneys, It had ealled into oxlstency n new tribe of legalized plunterers, who fattened on tho estates, leaving credllors and debtors nothing.
