BOTH WERE BAD.
But the Proprietor Wasn't Quite Bad
Enough.


But the Proprietor Wasn't Quite Bad
Enough.
Two very loud men came into a neat
little restaurant on the west side and
sat down at the counter. They had a
good deal to say and they were very
loud about saying it. They made the
waiter mad, and then they scared him
into submission. They swore roundly
and wadded the bill of fare up into a
roll because it had no strawberry
m'rang' printed upon it. They made
disparaging remarks about the lady
cashier, and completed their offense by
audibly cursing the proprietor who
would keep such place.
That was a drop too much. The man
who ran the restaurant had been very
bad man in his day, and age had by no
means shortened his arm, nor had his
right hand lost its cunning. He walked
up to the two men without a shade of
trepidation and told them they would
have to be still He well remembered
the days when he had damned the starch
out of fellows like that, and when he
had little rather tackle two or three

didn't know anything about that.
"Well, what about it if we don't keep
still?" asked the .hardest-looking Of
the men.
"Then 1 will simply have to break
your neclzs and throw you out" said
the proprietor, kindly.
The waiter had laid a patty of butter
down before them and the hardest
looking man tossed it into the face of
the formerly giant crushcr. That was
enough. The proprietor moistened the
thumb and forefnger of his right hand
and laid it on the collar of the offender.
The next instant the proprietor de-
scribed circle in the air and camo
down behind the cigar case. When he
got up the Understanding man poured
some acid vinegar down his back and
rubbed little celery salt into his col
lar. Then each visitor helped himself
to a tooth-pick and wandered out into
the night.

The South Not in It.

The following from the peoples
party organ, the Leavenworth Times,
is so good a summary of the lesson Of
the Texas alliance resolutions pub
Iished elsewhere that We give it in full
"The action of the Texas alliance in
repudiating the peoples party makes
it pretty clear that there will be no ma
tional peoples party. 1t is evident
that alliance men of the south feel
that the principles of the democratic
party are to be preferred to the prin-
ciples of the alliance, and, while they
may and will attempt to control
county and state conventions in the
south they will not consent to any po-
liticai action that will jeopardize the
ascendency of the democratic party in
that section or that will lessen its
chances of regaining possession of the
government.
''That being the case the national
peoples party will have no show ex-
cept in few northwestern states and
its mission can only be to assist the
democrats to carry three or four of
these states or, at the most, to throw
the election of president into the house
of representatives.
THAT it will succeed in doing either
of these things We do not believe, Be-
fore the time of the election comes
around the purposes of the voters of
the south viii become apparent, if any
doubt yet exists, and when it is seen
that the choice must 0e between a
democrat and a republican our people
viii return to their old party long
enough to choose the republican"

The Alliance Judgeship.

The list of candidates for nOmina-
ton on the alliance ticket for county
officers as published in the REFLECTOR
few days ago, was formidable enough
but the search of the Office of district
judge for a candidate bids fair to be
equally scattering. The candidates for
that Office are spriDgiDg up in all direc-
tions and judging from those who have
their lightning rods up already the
list will prove remarkable one.
1t is unfortunate for the good name
of Kansas that some of the candidates,
like "Chinaman" Smith, are basing
their claims to recognition, not on
their knowledge of law, but upon thei1
promise to mako stay.laws of their
own or in other words to refuse to
confirm mortgage sales, That is a
doctrine that should not prevail in any
country and, indeed, which cannot
unless the fame of the people preach
ing it is besmeared with disgrace.
There seems to be a red hot fight on
hand over the judgeship, however, and
it may be expected that the judicial
ermine will be dragged down into the
dust of politics as ruthlessly as the
insignia OF any other Office. The Sc
lection of a farmer who knew not a
page of law for judge, as was done by
the alliance in southern Kansas last
fall, has opened the door, and every
member of the order, no matter
whether or not he has previously been
incapable of getting the Office of con-
stable, feels privileged to enter the
race. Ii remains to be seen whether
brains or brass will win.

DUNCAN FAVORED.

The Welsh Jury Takes Lenicnt View Of
His Attempt to Murder His Wife.
LONDON, July 15.-Duncan, the Amer
lean who recently attempted to murder
his wife in North Wales, has been &C
quilted on the ground of insanity, but
has been detained pending decision as
to what disposition shall be made of
him.
When the case was called counsel for
the prisoner entered a plea of not
guilty. The countryman, Evan Evans
who discovered Mrs. Duncan after the
assault, testified to having seen the ac-
cused STOPPING over the form of his
wife and holding n huge stone in his
hand. Mrs. Duncan, the witness said,
was lying in crevice between rocks
and her head, which was ter
ribly battered, resting in the angle.
Soon after witness saw Duncan
the latter touched his wife's face with
a handkerchief. At the time Mrs. Dun
can was bleeding at the mouth and
from one of her ears. She appeared to
be dead. The witness repeated the tes-
timony given by him at the preliminary
examination with regard to the pris-
oner's assertion that his wife had fallen
and hurt herself and as to the removal
of Mrs. Duncan to the witness house
and the subsequent calling in of DIR.
Jones
Medical evidence was then introduced
in contradiction of the theory that Mrs.
Duncan had been hurt by fall. DIR.
Jones then took the stand and repeated
his testimony as given by him on the
first examination and which was to the
effect that Duncan confessed his guilt
to the doctor. The doctor related how
Duncan told him of his money losses
and of his original intention to drown
both his wife and himself.
Almost without argument the case
was given to the jury, which rendered
a verdict of acquittal on the ground of
insanity.
During the hearing it was shown by
the defense that American specialists
had two years ago examined Duncan
and declared his mind unhinged It
had then been advised that Duncan be
confined in an asylum. He was, how
ever, finally sent to Europe in the hope
that change and travel might effect a
cure. The prosecution urged that there
existed no cause to believe the accused
insane

A Silly EuaSinn

II is well to remind our readers that the
coinage of silver bullion into dollars has
stopped. The government is only RECON-
ing the old silver collars that have been
called in, and in doing So is but complying
with one OF the provisions of the silver bill
which the REFLECTOR took so much space to
defend. Perhaps the Broadway organ of
plutocracy will also defend this latest action
of the republican party to still further dem
onetize silver, and at the same time it might
also tell its readers that as long rs the repub-
Iican party remains in power there viii be
no more silver dollars coined Dickinson
County News.
Now that is what we call fair sam
pie of the average democratic argument
-palpable evasion of the truth for the
purpose of misleading those who are
unfortunate enough to be readers of
the sheet publishing it. While it is
true that the government is not going
to the expense of coming silver dollars
to be stored away in vaults while certi-
ticates to the amount they represent
are put in circulation it is doing some
thing much more practical and bust.
DesSlike. Il is storing the bar silver
without coming and issuing certificates
against it to the amount of of $4,50O,-
coo a month, thus increasing The
currency just that amount every 50
days.
The advantage Of this method is easy
to see. The certificates are much more
handy as currency than the heavy sill
yer coin and yet they represent the
intrinsic value of the precious metal
just as truly as for every dollar there
is the silver it represents in the L. 5.
treasury vaults. The republican con-
gress not only did not demouetize
silver but it made provision for an
increase in the currency of this nation
of at least $50, 900, 600 yearly OF silver
money represented by the certificates
payable in silver on demand.
The News in publishing half Of
statement makes an exhibition of its
little mindedness and unfair treatment
of economic questions. 1t is a silly
evasion such as is beneath an upright
newspaper. Still, perhaps nothing else
cnuld he expected from that source.
