There Is complaint everywhere at the
lowering OF the judicial standard. Our
courts are not held In respect like they were
In the days of our fathers. This comes
either from degeneration In the courts or in
the people Which is itS We are inclined
to the belief that the Judges are most to
| blame. They have II In their power to en-
| force proper respect, and ought to do It.
| One Of the worst things that eau happen TO
n people is to lose respect for their courts.

even as II now is there can be wonderful
improvement, 1t is good subject for the

The irrepressible conflict between United
States bondholders and the common peo-
pie" has broken out. The momentous
question Of this day is, shall we allow the
money-lenders and the money-hoarders Of
the nation TO force us to degrade our silver
currency and drive II out OF circulation, In
order that they may longer grind the people.
For twenty years the Treasury Department
and Congress have been manipulated in the
interest OF Wall street. There has been
found at last q man In the United States
Senate who has the honesty, the indie

In his place and say that the bondholders
and government creditors must take silver
coin In payment OF our debts That man
is Senator Beck, Of Kentucky. His great
speech on tue silver question ought to be
