The Hon. WILLARD c. FIAGG, the well
known hortculturist as well as politician OF
this state, died at his home near Alton last Sat
urday. The st. Louis Republican, says of him a:
He was the son of the late Gershom Flagg,
one of the most prominent citizens and richest
farmers of Southern Illinois; received his ear
ly education, we believe, at Wymans school
in st. Louis, and afterwards went to Yale col
lege, where he was graduated with high honor
Returning he took charge of his fathers farm,
near Moro, which he has occupied ever since.
His agricultural tastes and pursuits did not
prevent him from taking deep interest and
an active part in public affairs, and he held
several important positions with credit to him
self and benefit to the community He was
an effective writer and speaker, an ardent al.
vocate of social and political reform, and a
thoroughly honest and honorable man in all
the relations of life. In him the farming inter
ests of the state have sustained IN irreparabe
loss. His were the best brains engaged in
their service. The death of Mr.. Flagg occur

and usefulness, is calamity of no common
magnitude to the people for whom he labored

RobberyIuthe West End.

The D,m"rrut, of Id Sale, tells the story OF a
robbery which took place last week at the tun-
mel Of the Rock Island road near that city in this
wise:
The foreman uf one of the cement works al
Utica came 10 Ia sale during the afternoon, ana
upon the evening in question was returning home
with Il basket fun of groceries upon his arm.
When near the tunnel between TIL, city ana Ctl-
ca he was approached 10y a man from behlnu'

PLATFORM VAGARIES,

The platform of the National Party con
tains some curious planks that to the uninltlat-
ed are hard to understand. For instance there
is the resolution that demands 1.-THE payment
of all wages in lawful money of the country as
the only valid payment for labor Green
backs are in the sense here intended lawful
money" SO are national bankbills, gold and
silver and subsidiary silver and nlckels and
coppcrs to certain amounts. The only "unaw
full" money we can think of is counterfeit bills
or bogus coin. \ man undertaking to pay for
wages IN that kind of money would be APT
to find himself very suddenly in trouble. But
how if a man agrees to work Il farm ON shares
and to take Il part of the crop for his wages
Is that to be made unlawful:
Arain-onc of the Toledo resolutions de
clarcs that it is the exclusive function OF the
general government Ia coin and create money
Webster defines the word create To mean TO
bring into being, to cause to exist; to origin.
ate" And real money he defines thus: Coin
stamped metal used as the medium Of com
mcrce~ Now what puzzles the common
mind j.. how i congress To create, bring into
being. or cause To exist" com or stamped
mrtol IN hc used a. the medium of commerce -
The notion that has generally prevailed on
that subject is that congress has the right TO
coin or s,ampthe metal and regulate Its value,
but that infinite power alone could create
the coin or metal. Congress can convert met
al into money, but cannot create" ii. Iii is
said that congress can come next door TO Great
| ing or making money out of nothing by max
