GEARY County Alliance has re-
solved that IAN attempt to elect a
full and distinctive alliance ticket
may end in a failure which would
greatly impair the usefulness of our
order. If we will be moderate in
our demands, asking only for what
we need, we will draw support from
both the old parties, and success as
sured; but if we demand everything
and try to control all we may lose
such support and lose ALL" There
seems to be some wise heads among
the alliance members of Geary.-

think any nation makes a mistake
to exclude either, and as a general
principle we feel safe in saying that
the more plentiful the money of any
nation is the greater the prosperity
of its people; consequently, we think
free coinage of silver would cause a
temporary prosperity for us, but
should other nations refuse to follow
our example, or not establish the
same ratio of value between silver
and gold, it would result in our get
ting the silver of other nations in
exchange for our gold aud conse-
ouently cause the purchasing power
Of silver to become less and the re-
action would be worse for US than
the benefits we derived. Our ideas
are that such laws should be passed
as will cause free coinage for our
home production of silver, but ex-
clude all foreign mined silver.
w. E. Saum Is in favor OF any
measure that will increase the circn-
lation. encourage investments and
;nduee investors to establish new en-
terprises. Believes that free coinage,
with uniform price for silver estab-
lished, will stop speculation and IN
snre better prices for farm products
and lead to mora prosperous times.

Inventor Morse's Triumph.

Robert Fulton's steamboat was the
first step in American inventive pro-
gress; the Morse telegraph was the next,
and the clicking which marked the
dots and dashes of electricity's speech
was the keynote to the future. Since
then we have made wonderful strides,
giving to the world the many different
kinds of telegraph instruments, the tele-
phone, the microphone and the phono-
graph. Not the least inventive genius
has been displayed in the various rail-
road shops, where every energy has
been applied to the development and
perfection of equipment and motive
power. The choicest products of these
many shops may be found on the st.
Paul & Duluth Railroad, known as the
Duluth Short Line, which is the popular
and most convenient route between st.
Paul. Minneapolis, Duluth, West Super
ior, Saltwater and other points, making
quick time and affording the best &C

The city is to be congratulated upon
the final settlement of the lighting
question, and the action of the council
will be endorsed. The contract for 80

cheap. The arc lights will be placed
across the streets at each alternate
block and will be so distributed as to
pretty thoroughly cover Front, Sec

THE LAST SAD RITES.

The rich casket that contained all that
remained to earth of Burr Thomas, laden
ed with white roses, immortelles and flow
cry emblems, in the glorious sunlight Of
an evening full of promise of another day,
was laid away from the sight of loving
eyes forever. A snort prayer, failing prom
ises of youth, autumnal decay, a fading
day, and that which was dust, however
precious, was consigned to dust again, and
the long concourse of the living returned
TO the haunts of the living.
At the home of the parents, ere the sad
line was made up, friends mingled their
tears and proffered the hand of sym
pathy as Rev. Winters read "A lesson and
offered prayer and Rev. Savin delivered
over the form of the loved one touching
eulogy filled with beautiful sentiments,
steadfast promises and appeals to the
living. Then the subdued voice of Mrs
Reed in a song of farewell. a last look and
the sad procession, that line of march
which no child of earth may hope to
escape.
And is this the end, is this all ? Must
we say:
twill not be long our Journey here;
Each broken sigh and falling tear
VIII soon be gone and all will be
A cloudless sky, a waveess sea-
All nature protests and in a thousand
forms and in myriads of ways makes uni
versal declaration that life succeeds all
forms of death While the soul sweeps
all the fields of the immortal future, hope
ever whispers the assuring promise that
its unfading glories are not more numer-
able than certain, and yet as certain as
that the word of the omnipotent cannot
all
