JUS THE WORKIXGMAK SEES IT.

Before the campaign of educationrow going forward on the financialquestion is ended it will be found thateach man makes up his mind largelyaccording to what he believes will bethe practical effect of silver monomet-allism upon his own fortunes and thecircumstances of his daily life. Alarge part of the people, It Is true,

probably the determining- element, willyield all this to considerations of

honor. For them it is enough thatthey believe the proposed measure to

be virtually an act of partial repudia-

tion.Whether it be for their gain or loss,

they are not prepared to give seriousconsideration to a proposition vhichInvolves, In their minds, the cancella-tion of a promise voluntarily made andto be \u25a0willingly kept.

The concrete side, however, Is no lesspowerful an argument for true bimet-

allism and against the free coinage ofBilver than the abstract. Here, asalmost everywhere else. It is true that

self-interest and honesty go hand inhand. Put the matter to the working-

man concretely. You. are getting acertain wage per day, per week orper month That wage has been fixodby the competition of the market, andyou know better than any one else howdifficult it is to make any addition to it.You have doubtless attempted on morethan one occasion to open the subject

with your employer. You have found

that no increase of compensation Ispossible without a long and costly

trial of strength. The employer says,

and the condition of the times bears itout, that he is now paying all that thereceipts from his business will war-rant. You know, as a matter of fact,

that there are men out of employment

who would take your place if it werevacant. . You know that the most dif-

ficult wifok which could possibly be

Bet for you to do would not raise youvsalary by as much as even 10 per cent.

Now, 9Ons4der what is going to hap-pen if we should have free coinageaccording to the theory of the advo-cates of that doctrine themselves.They tell us that the stock, of money

In the country will be increased, and,partly owing to that and partly owing

to the depreciated value of the silvercoin, the prices of commodities in gen-

eral will rise. Whatever be the al-leged causes, that proposition is fun-damental

'with the free silver party.

They assert, first and last, that thegreat benefit to come from their schemeIs a general rise of prices. Now. thesituation that confronts our friend,

the workiogman, seems tolerably clear.There is to be a rise of prices. Youwill have to pay more for everythingthat you eat and drink and wear. Youwillhave to pay more for rent and forfuel. The price of everything, if thefree silver view, as stated by itself,

Is correct, will continually and pro-gressively rise. The gentlemen onthat side do not tell us where this pro-cess is to stop. Inasmuch as their bug-bear is the arrest of a rise of prices,

we suppose that they intend to so ma-nipulate the quantity and qualify ofthe circulating medium that the price

of everything shall continue to in-crease forever. However that may be.It is going to increase, they say, for along time to come.

Now, again, see how this situatesour friend who is working for a fixedwage. You will get no more dollarsor cents for a day's work than you donow until you fight for it. You willhave to pay more for everything youbuy. There will be, therefore, an im-mediate difficulty, and presently anImpossibility, in making both endsmeet. You know perfectly well that,except in the rarest instances, therise in general prices will not be ac-companied with a voluntary increaseIn your compensation. You knowthat a general rise in the wageBcale in any country is the re-sult only of.a long continued series ofstruggles between labor and capital,in which the former has to expend inadvance almost all the benefits that itgets from Increased remuneration- -ip,order to overcome the resistance oTVthe latter. Upon you, therefore. tn£.fwhole burden and cost of this- «ttv£>it!cn must fall. For a series of years.

at least, and for how long we cannottell, all the articles for which you ex-pend your wages will be rising inprice much faster and much soonerthan your wages themselves. You willbe the last man to get onto the bandwagon. You willhave to run until you

are exhausted and out of breath be-fore you even catch up with It. Theprospect is that if you ever do over-take it you willdrop dead of heart dis-ease by the time you get a seat.

This is not a heartening prospect toset before the workingman, but it is

the exact and absolutely correct state-ment of the case as contained in thepremises laid down by the silver menthemselves. With all the experience

of the past behind us, it is the most ex-traordinary proposition that was everadvanced by any set of men to ask the

laborer to vote for an act which willcertainly add to his cost of living,

while leaving him to fight unaided forthat uncertain, and, in any event, longdelayed increase in compensation thatwould even leave him as well off asbefore. He is to make the whole con-

Itribution out of which the great for-

tunes of millionaire owners of bullionare to be built up. For every dollar

that some other man scales down the

debt that he owes, for all the vastamount that the banks and other mon-eyed institutions of this country cansave by paying their creditors incheap coin, he is to contribute in sweatand blood.

We say without hesitation that ifsuch a proposition as the free coinage

of silver involves for the workingmen

of this country were advanced by cap-

italists and had behind it the support

of that vague monster known as the?"money power," the laboring men ofthis country would be so incensed

that they would rise in armed revolu-tion against it. Nor could they be tooseverely censured. Let every manwho receives for his daily work a fixedwage study this view of the situation

without prejudice and without letting

it become involved with any theoriesof value or legislation. Let him sim-ply ask himself if he wants to makethe conditions of his life harder andtrust to chance, to the benificence ofhis employer or to the brute force ofa strike to make himself once moreeven as well off as he is today. Ifthatis to himan alluringprospect, he shouldvote for free silver. Ifhe does notwant to bear, in the .diminished pur-chasing power of his earnings, thewhole burden of this experiment thatis to cost the country billions, he wouldbetter get right out into the field andhustle to secure payment for his ser-vices in a dollar of the highest pur-chasing power known to the wholeworld.

SOMK IXTERESTI.VG LETTERS.

Mr. Frank G. Carpenter, whose let-ters have been one of the most valuedfeatures of the Sunday Globe formore than a year past, has prepared aseries of special and striking interest tothe public, the first of which will ap-pear in next Sunday's issue. Theseletters will deal with the present condi-tion of the mining regions of the UnitedSlatos, both gold and silver, with im-provements in processes and present

and prospective output, and will covergenerally the entire field of the produc-

tion of the precious metals in thiscountry. Mr. Carpenter has prepared

for this work by a visit to the groundand a special study of the subject. Hehas done this in view of the" great in-

terest now attaching to the questionsrelating to the value and use of themoney metals. The series of letterswill not be in any sense political, nordeal with the assumed relative desir-ability of either gold or silver for useas a money metal. They will lookneither toward the gold nor the silverside in the present controversy, andwill be devoted to a complete descrip-tion of the condition of the mineral-producing regions of the great Westand their future possibilities. Inter-views have been had with the ownersof the largest of these great proper-ties, and their views have been ob-tained upon the future of the industry.

The new processes of extracting goldfrom ore by the use of cyanide of po-

j tassium, which marks an era in thegold mining business, will be fully de-scribed.

j We cannot think of any subject ofmore direct Interest to the public atthis time, vaye we of more value; sinceits facts and figures will throw a sidelight upon the great political questionjust now the cynosure of all eyes andminds. The publication of Mr. Car-penter's letters will begin one weekfrom today, and nobody in the North-west should fail to read them in theGlobe.

A PROVIDENT PHiD.In another column willbe found an

interview with Secretary Jackson, ofI the Associated Charities, who explains

Iat length the proposed provident fundwhose establishment is now under con-sideration by the executive committeeof that body. Itseems to us that thescheme is one of great value andshould be encouraged heartily by allwho desire to promote the beneficent

j work of helping the poor to help them-selves. These are the days In whichItis the fashion to declare that differ-ences in condition are all due to op-pressive legislation or to Injustice andoppression, and there is a too prevalentIdea that if we could only elect theright people to office all inequalitieswould vanish, and everybody wouldbecome at once virtuous, happy andrich, if we arrange the three terms inthe order of importance which theyseem to occupy now in the publicmind.

Notions like these have always heldsway at times in past history. Sooner

| or later, people get away from them• and return to the humble and homely,but irrefutable, proposition that theway of success and independence lies,

;not through any political action what-ever, but begins and ends with Indus-try and frugality. There can be noquestion that the comparative disap-

j pearanco of the desire to save Is oneiof the most threatening aigna of ouryJftTie. In the early history of the re.-J-frtiblJe not only was high Individual

developed, but competencei and independence were assured solely

THE SAINT PAUL QLQBB: SUNDAY, JULY 19, 1896.by the rigid old New England econ-omy, which was not baffled even whenit asked for bread and received astone. Were there prevailing in thiscountry today the same habits of econ-omy that distinguished our earlier life,

not only would the aggregate wealthbe vastly greater, but there would befewer and less serious inequalities andless clamor of class against class.Whatever can be done to recreate thesaving habit is at the same time ablessing to the poor and an aid to thedevelopment of national character.

Of course, it is in its lesser aspects

that the project to establish a provi-

dent fund commends itself first tothose engaged in philanthropic work.

the objective point is just thatwhich we have considered —

the estab-lishment of the habit of saving. Itmay be asserted safely that there is nofamily livingupon the product of dailytoil and not dependent upon cfiarityin which some trifle, however small,might not be laid by every week as aprovision for the future. The troublewith us is that we have learned todespise the day of small things. Wehave got a long distance away from"Poor Richard." The penny saved isentirely too trifling an affair to beconsidered when a bicycle is the min-imum of the individual's wants. Those

i whose daily earnings are limited to asmall amount get into the habit oflivingfrom hand to mouth, grumblingat fate and trusting to better fortuneor better times for an increase of in-come, and resigning themselves wil-linglyto the view that it is impossi-ble, and therefore useless, to put inpractice any economies until that im-provement shall come. This means,of course, the creation of a habit ofstretching expenditure, to meet income,which is certain to consume any addi-tion to "the latter just as rapidly as itmight be obtained.

The purpose of the scheme present-ed by the Associated Charities is,there-fore, to encourage and assist the poorto lay aside something, however small,as the beginning- of a little accumula-tion of wealth, and by this to establisha fixed habit of saving something outof earnings. The method by which thisis done is described fully in the inter-esting interview with Mr. Jackson. Webelieve that the plan is capable ofworking out important results fromsmall beginnings; that it willdo a mil-lion-fold as much to benefit the pooras telling them that they are the vic-tims of injustice and imbuing themwith the gospel of discontent; andthat the principle which it embodiesmight.be extended with excellent effectnot only to the comparatively indi-gent, but to those of better fortuneand more ambitious views. The char-acter and achievements of this nation

\u25a0 never stood as high as when every

man in it tried to save and was proud

of small economies. The glory of thepast will not return to us until theambition to be very rich, carryingwith it the deterioration that richesnearly always bring, is no longer theideal of the American people, but in-stead they turn their faces back again

toward that habit of thought and modeof life which are so well representedby rare old Ben Franklin.

COLORED TROOPS IX THE WAR.The proposition of our colored fellow

citizens to erect, for the encampmentceremonies, an arch commemorative ofthe colored soldiers of the war is mostpraiseworthy. Itshould have not only

their support, but tbe aid, if needed,

of all citizens who hold in esteem thefaithful services, the high devotion,

the great sacrifices made by all those,white or black, who made the preser-vation of the Union possible.

The enlistment of colored men in de-fense of the Union was one of thoselogical sequences of events and con-ditions that meet, struggle against andoverthrow deeply rooted prejudices. Ittook no prophetic eye to discern, un-der the surface defenses of the war,the policy of the restriction of slaveryto the Southern states and thepreservation intact of the Union,the deeper current of hostilityto the institution of slavery

and the purpose to exterminate it.Southern leaders, long before seces-sion began, saw it as one of the eventsmoving with irresistible force to itsconsummation. Unionists whose sym-pathies were with the abolitionistsfelt that there could be no sucessfulissue of the struggle until its purposewas distinctly stated to be the aboli-tion of slavery. But among the North-ern troops there was an element thatdid not sympathize with this view,war Democrats for the most part, whoregarded the preservation of the Unionas the sole object. With them therewas a decided repugnance to the en-listment of negroes, and even amongthose who held other views as to theobjects of the war there was a feelingthat the negro had no soldierly qual-

ities. He was looked on as a meek,1 submissive creature, drilled to obeyj and not resist, and, by nature andi training, cowardly. He might do for

garrison duty where there was nofighting probable.

In the Department of the Gulf, Brig.Gen. J. W. Phelps was the first tomove in the matter of using the col-ored men in defense of the country

and the earning of their freedom.Refugees by the thousand crowded hiscamp at the Parapet, and he beganto form the able-bodied men Into com-

j panics. Gen. Butler ordered him todesist, and the sturdy old New Eng-lander promptly tendered his resigna-tion. Later Butler yielded, and a bri-gade was formed, officered by whitemen, but the feeling against the move-ment was intense. Officers tenderedtheir "immediate and unconditionalresignation," declaring that they cameto save the Union, not to free thenegro, or to serve in the line with him.The officers of the colored regimentswere ostracized by those of the whiteregiments, and treated as if they hadlost caste. In the Confederacy theIndignation was intense, as might havebeen expected. The movement out-raged every social Instinct and alltraining, and to the disgrace amongtheir own fellows the officers of thecolored troops faced the wrath of the

Confederates should the fate of warthrow them into their hands.

"

But the enlistment of colored men Inthat department went rapidly on whenBanks superseded* Bpt,ler. The en-thusiastic abolitldhisfsj among ourtroops testified tp |he Rjyalty and logicof their convictions by taking com-missions in and orfcanteing the coloredmen into companies and regiments. Astrange sight it was, In the summer of1863, to see the motley companies ofnegroes in the great yards of the cot-ton presses in New Orleans, ragged,awkward, uncouth? going through thedrill of the soldier' under the orders oftheir white officers. But their Innatesense of cadence and their docility

made them apt pupila In that school,

as their ready obedience to ordersmade them good dßoldiers later. Thesurprise came when circumstances put

these regiments in situations where! they must fight or run away. Em-

ployed for the greater part in garri-

son duty and, in campaigns, as trainguards and in engineer work, therecame occasions that tested their abil-ity to fight. When Marmaduke swept

down the right bank of the Mississippi| he met repulse by the colored troops

that held the line at Donaldsonville.The colored brigade formed the right

of Banks' line in the assault of June14, 1863, on Port Hudson, and madethree successive and unsuccessfulcharges on the earthworks, a feat that.

j few white regiments performed. Thelast question of doubt was sweptaway. It was demonstrated that thenegro soldier would fight and fight

well. Let an arch be raised to theirmemory, for bravely they earned it.

THE HEALTH(VLTIRK CLIH.Reform in the matter of feminine at-

tire is one of those unfortunate causeswhose drawbacks have always lainchiefly in the quality of its cham-pions. They have -frequently been soinconsiderate as to lack personal at-tractiveness as well as good taste inthe selection of their costumes, andtheir following has in consequencebeen deservedly scant.

"Of course, ifyou are a guy anyhow,"

said one brutally frank young womanof a certain advocate of dress reform,"being a little more of a guy doesn'tmatter." In some subtle way theadoption of common sense garmentshas come to be considered, in the femi-nine world, equivalent to a confessionof defeat in the attempt to "look any-how" in the ultra-conventional dress.Of late, however, signs, have not beenlacking of a different spirit. Mrs. Jen-ness-Miller in demonstrating that adress-reform wardrobe was necessarilyan expensive one, accomplished a vastamount for the cause; while the bestof the tailor-made bicycle suits of thelast two seasons have demonstratedthat elegance and distinction are qual-ities obtainable in a shortened skirt,as well as in one which also performsthe secondary function of street-sweeper. \u25a0

The latest demonstration in favor ofsensible dress for Jthe. street has for itsleader a well-known N%w York artist,Mrs. Christine Lunfgjfsj*; who has or-ganized a . "HeattjfcJ^ulture club,"

whose members pfedg£ themselves todo all they can individually and col-lectively for the promotion !of healthin women. The skirt which sweeps thestreet, collecting dirt and microbes bythe imillion, constituting a prolific

source of colds and pleurisy in sloppyweather, and a great impediment toprogress on windy days, is one of thethings which they purpose to modify.The members of the club are personsof good taste and prominence, andthey are all violentlyopposed to bloom-ers or to any other ungraceful and un-becoming modification of .woman'sdress. But they say firmly that theskirt which drags "thrtrugh the mudand filth of the street Is not sanitarynor convenient, awi that the slight

modification necessary; t» make it bothof these desirable things is not Im-modest nor ungraceful, ;nor even lack-ing in style. And,

3 jta tproof of theirfaith they pledge to suchskirts for street wear.In view of the fact that their con-

tention is eminently moderate, reason-able and sane :and that the establish-ment of their point, would add Im-mensely to the conjiforV without per-ceptibly detracting from the "style"

of overburdened fennfteinity, Itis to bejhoped that they may' succeed in edu-cating public opinion to their views.

DEVOTION TO PRINCIPLE.When Luther S. Dlxon sat at the

head of the supreme court bench ofthe state of Wisconsin there came upfrom a country justice court by wayof the intermediate court a case !n

;which the amount involved was butfive or six dollars. The chief justice

took occasion, to comment, in ironicalj mood, on the intense devotion to prin-| ciple and to their profession of attor-j neys who would thus tenaciously stickIto so trivial a case, purely, of course,j for the sake of the great fundamentallegal principles underlying it. This sar-casm of Justice Dixon is recalled bythe statement that Judge Severanceand a jury spent a day Is trying acase involving the ownership of fourhogs, and the jury spent a night intrying to settle the vexed and disputedfacts of the case, "^he expense to thepublic of this neighborhood disputewas, it is said, twenty times more thanthe value of the hogs. ItIs related ofsome impatient and weary Judge that,wher. some such cas4 -was called, heInquired of the counsel the amount in-volved, and when told it was two dol-lars, said: "Here is the money. Mr.Clerk call the next oase.";

We can appreciate the feelings ofthese Judges, their disgust at the te-nacity of men over trifles, inflictingburden* on the public out of all pro-portion to the values involved, andsympathize with the irony they visitedon them. But there is a larger viewto be taken of the matter In which thepettiness and the annoyance vanishesand the litigious spirit becomes lauda-ble. Itis one of the most frequent re-marks of observing foreigners that theAmerican la the most Indulgent of per-sons. He endures with a growl butwithout protest Invasions of his per-sonal rights that would elsewhere beresented. He submits daily to annoy-

ances that are legal wrong* ratherthan to take the trouble to resist themin assertion of his rights. Corpora-tions especially seem to regard him ascreated for them and their benefit in-stead of they for him and his conveni-ence and welfare. "What's the use ofbothering?" Is his comment as hepasses on.

Now this Is clearly In derogation ofthe spirit of individualism. It Indicatesthe submergence of the man in themass; his submission to imposition, hisself-abnegation without the recom-pense of self-denial. It facilitates en-croachments that grow into assumedrights, surrendering, pro tan to, per-sonal liberty. Itis a weak yieldingthat leaves the man weaker. The manor woman who is a stickler for his orher individual rights does not meet theencouragement due them. They areuncomfortable folk to their neighbors,even where they accord to others theirrights with the same strictnesswith which they exact their own.The man or woman, for illus-tration, to whom a street carconductor has given a transferpunched for another line, who insiststhat, having paid for the ride, he orshe proposes to nave it regardless of aconductor's mistake, is not looked onby the other passengers in the properspirit. If the idea does not prevailthat the man or woman is trying tobeat a poor conductor out of a farehe is regarded as being picayunishto make such a fuss over so small athing as a nickel.

But now and then there are menwho insist upon their own. They aresturdy fellows, not ouarrelsome, notloving a fight for the sake of the fight,but simply insistent on their manhoodand its rights. The amount involved isof no importance whatever. No sum is

j too triflingif a right is at stake, andino expenditure is too great ifmade indefense of it. Litigious they are, ofcourse, necessarily &o In a land whereindividual rights are so lightly held,for the man who regards his ownlightly will hold his neighbors' ascheap; but society would be better con-ditioned were there more of them. Agood many things men regard as evilwould vanish. Politics would be muchpurer than they now are, and the bossand his methods would be impossibleif men held their political rights at ahigher value than their complacency.Public officials, as well as corporateones, would be more civil in their be-havior, more the servant less the mas-ter, if men stood on their rights. Andso we read with pleasure of the stuffyfarmers who went to law down in Fair-mont in insistance or. their right inthose four hogs, because it shows thatthere, anyway, and in that case the "itwon't pay to bother" spirit does notsubmit to wrong lest ease be sacrificed.

THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TOAITHOR9.

George Meredith, the novelist, ismaking a revision of hia own workspreparatory to the publication of a newand complete edition of them. Apro-pos of this fact the Boston Herald ob-served that "it would not be a badidea, after the death of Meredith, toput this work into some competeat

hand. A large portion of the readingpublic which now knows little abouthim might then find that there wasmaterial in his novels to make himone of the most fascinating writers ofthe present era."

From one of the leading journals inthe supposed center of American cul-tivation, this is a curiously Philistinesuggestion. It is as if the Herald pro-posed that "some competent person"should repaint Monet's pictures inshades of brown and gray to makethem intelligible to the excellent peo-ple who cannot see blue. Mr. MeredithIs a gentleman of great ability, and if

his own revision of his works does notbring them within the average reader'scomprehension, it is safe to assumethat he does not care to gain the aver-age reader's ear. As that individualis quite as indifferent to Meredith asMeredith is to him, the person who un-dertook to bring the two togetherwould have a deservedly thanklesstask. The cold-blooded proposal topopularize Mr. Meredith "after hisdeath" adds a new terror to decease, jand the people who make a specialty !of righting wrongs should look to itIthat no such desecration ever takes

| place. Intellectual body-snatching ison the whole more repugnant than itsphysical counterpart, and a man's im-mortal remains should be as safe fromthe despoiler as his mortal relics.

AMBROSE FREEMANIN MEMORY OF A NOTED PIONEER

AND OFFICER OF THEARMY.

KILLED BY SIOUX IN 1863.

A BRIEF VISIT TO HIS ORIGINALGRAVE IN NORTH DA-

KOTA".

THE BICr sim.KY EXPEDITION.

The Fatal OinlanKht In WhichLieut Freeman Went Down to

Death.

When the Sioux outbreak of 1862 wasso murderously precipitated by LittleCrow and his bloodthirsty savages,there lived at St. Cloud an unpreten-tious, loyal citizen, now known in his-tory as Lieut. Ambrose Freeman. The

UliElT. AMBROSE FREEMAN.

militia company formed at St. Cloudto aid In repelling the attacks of thesavages elected Mr. Freeman its cap-tain, under whose leadership it did val-iant service. Later on when the FirstMinnesota cavalry, known as the"Mounted Rangers," was recruited,enlisted and mustered in, Capt. Free-man was made first lieutenant of Com-pany :D, under Col. Samuel McPhail.

CoU* McPhall's regiment made up thecav*ab*y portion of the Sibley expedi-

tion 6f 1863, which marched against theSioux near Devil's lake. The expedi-

tion proceeded by way of Fort Ridgely,Big Stone lake and the Cheyenneriver, with Pierre Bircheneau as guide,to or near Lake Jessie, north of Coop-erstown, where camp Atchison was es-tablished. From this camp the bestmen and animals were selected for afinal march against the Sioux, thenknown to be on a buffalo hunt to thesouthwestward, less than 100 miles dis-tant. It was a fated march for Am-brose: Freeman, for on the 24th day ofJuly, 1863, and unexpectedly, the In-dians were encountered in force. Lieut.Freeman, with George A. Brackett, ofMinneapolis, had left the command tohunt antelope in the hills north ofwhere the Troy farm was afterwardlocated on the Northern Pacific. An!antelope had been killed and dressed, jand. joined by some half breed scouts,the party were returning to the com-mand as they supposed, but the gath-ering of mounted men on a distant hilltoward whom they rode proved not toIbe friends, but Sioux Indians, who igathered into a low depression to await !the fatal onslaught that soon occurred. ;Lieut. Freeman proceeded a little inadvance of his companions, well armed :

with a repeating rifle and a pair of re- j

volvers. Tn the meantime the com- imand had encountered the Sioux at !a point now known as Kunkle's lake,

northeast of the present site of the vil-lage of Dawson, N. D; Regimental jSurgeon Weiser, of the cavalry, was 1the first man shot. Immediately in front jof the command, which had gone into jcamp behind rifle pits. It was but a jfew moments until other shots wereheard in the distance, and from that ,locality the body of Ambrose Freeman jwas brought into camp, shot with an jarrow in the neck, tomahawked,scalped and his body shorn of buck-

'skin leggings. The scouts liad es- icaped, and Mr. Bracket*, waiting toaid his unfortunate friend, was obligedto hide lav the tall grass to save his ownlife, wan<ierthg with only uncookedfrojpfti for until on the fourth day,nearly famished, he reached Camp :Atchison.

The Indians had been routed and thecavalry under Col. McPhail had sue- ;

cessfully raided them in a runningfight until darkness put a stop to theengagement nearly sixteen miles fromthe main command. Then followed afearful night on the prairie in an en-deavor to reach camp back past thedead Indians who had been killed on !the prairie. The main command didnot move forward, but remained en- jtrenched near the Big Mound, fromwhich the battle took its name. On itsreturn, Company D of the cavalry, un- !der Capt. Oscar Taylor, first learned of!its severe loss in the death of Lieut, jFreeman, and his body in its*frightfulcondition, was tenderly placed in animprovised casket, made of a. \u25a0n^igOn

bo^ i^dJ^-^Teu to his grave, with thehonors due a dead soldier, not undera rifle pit as has been stated, but ina grave near the easterly end of the !fortifications thrown up by the caval-ry. There his remains were left untilIn 1881, when that portion of them iwhich could be found after wolves had

'despoiled the grave, were removed for \final interment at St. Cloud. Recently [a party of gentlemen visited the oldearthworks at the Big Mound, fifteen jmiles from Dawson, finding them intact iand situated upon Section 13, Town- jship 139/ Range 71. Lieut. Freeman'sformer resting place was discovered,unmarked, yet In plain view, showing

the effects of excavation. A stone \

monument was erected near Col. Mo-Phail's cavalry headquarters, to markthe spot, thirty-five years after itaevacuation.

No more noble man or true friendthan Ambrose Freeman ever suc-cumbed to the deadly onslaught ofsavage murderers, and as he was anold pioneer and frontiersman, well-armed, and noted as a hunter andmarksman, his relatives in North Da-kota expressed themselves as unableto understand why he was abandonedto his fate by the scouts after he wasshot, or why no stand was madeagainst his savage pursuers.

A committee of the State Historicalsociety will consider the advisability

of placing a pastel portrait in therooms of the society for permanentpreservation.

FAVORABLE*FE ATIRES,

Seen in tbe Bank Statement by theFinancier.

NEW YORK, July 18.—Tbe Financiersays this week: The statement of theclearing house banks of New York cityfor the week ending July 18, shows anexpansion in loans, which is distinc-tively a favorable feature, but sincethe $2,000,000 withdrawn for export Fri-day is not included in the totals of theweek, the real condition of the banksis not shown at the close of business

Saturday. The fall In domestic ex-change rates which has been a prom-inent feature of the week at nearly

Ievery interior point of importance is aI certain indication that the heavy flow

of money to this point it at an end, andan opposite, movement is to be ex-pected especially towards the South andWest.

The banks gained something like a\u25a0million dollars from the interior move-ment for the week ending Saturday.

Ibut with exchange at a heavy discount,] it. is not likely that this addition to, excess cash will be continued. On theI other hand preparations for the fall! season are underway, and this shouldj create a demand tor money from mer-| cantile sources. The loans of the New

York banks while now at the highestpoint of the year, are still twenty-seven

! millions less than at this time lastyear. But it is to be noted that the

I increase last year did not culminateuntil late in September when an ad-ditional increase of $16,000,000 wasmade. If this year repeats the ex-perience of last season, the firmnessof the money market would be assured.

Since talk of another bond issue 19j popular, it might be well to call at-j tention to the fact that of the millionsthat have been taken from the treasury

j since February 8, last, little or none ofj the amount has found its way IntoiNew York banks, their total speciej holdings being $3,000,000 less when the) payments for bonds had been com-j pleted.
