The Davenport Democrat recognizes
the close of Hiram Prices speech in con-
gress upon the legislative appropriation
bill, as the same language with which
Hiram has closed all his political speeches
for the last ten years. Hiram always has,
from his school-boy days, been partial to
such pretty expressions as starry banner y
orange groves of the south" Pacific
golden sands" "Atlantic's rocky coast"
ETC., all of which the dispatches gave in
his last speech. These expressions are
Hiram's strongest argument, besides they
please the children. The Democrat should
not begrudge Hiram his little speech, it
has cost him years of study and is the
only effort of his life. Years ago,in 1858
we think it was, we reported it for the
Democrat, and remember how eagerly it
was sought by the school boys for use on
defamation days.

In view of the fact that Coal Valley has

that the National party has made such
boasts of its purity from the vices that

National party, we have been to the
trouble of ascertainipg what it has cost
the county TO trust the affairs of Coal
Valley in the hands Of this eminent ora
tor and pure minded statesman from Coal
Valley. From the following figures it will
be seen that there has been method in
his madness-a method represented by
solid cash-that as he threw himself into
the widest flight of oratorical eloquence
he still had an eye upon the county funds
and warm affection for the Ransom family
and its brother-in-law
An examination of the County Treas.
urer's books shows that the entire County
tax levy of Coal Valley for the past year
is $SS49l, and the entire tax collected
from the township is $50S20. Through
the instrumentality of this economical Ma.
tional supervisor, there has been drawn
| from the County, for the support of the
Ransom family and the poor, the sum Of
$930.46, or 1855 more than the entire
County tax levy, and 1922. % more thar
the entire County tax collected from the
township. Of course neither of the two
old parties can be trustedl Of the money
thus drawn from the treasury $14S.0(
