EDITOR BRADSHAW, of the Lebanon
Rustic, pays the following deserved
compliment to Hon. Richard Parks
Bland: Congressman Silver Dick
Bland, who is genuine, full-fedged
granger, with hay seed in his hair
when on his farm is now busy in the
harvest field. He has fine crop OF
oats and hay and will raise lots OF
corn. Silver Dick makes hand on
the farm and can shock or stack as
much oats or hay or gather as much
corn as any farm hard. He comes
nearer being a farmer than any mem-
Der of congress and his fearless, un-
compromising fight for free silver
coinage and tariff reduction measures
that will most benefit the farmers, Is
proof of his devotion to their In
terests. As a farmerand statesman
he is with the great agricultural and
laboring class, who have no better
friend or ADLER champion in congress
than Silver Dick Bland"

aesLsEE,s WINE Of csRpul for Weak Nerves.

SENATOR PALMER sounded the key
note of Democracy at Moberly
Tuesday when he told his hearers to
abandon the theory that in all times
of depression and disaster they should
turn to the government for help.
The more the people are let alone by
the state the more prosperous they
will be. To call upon the state to
change the immutable laws of trade
is to invite disaster. The protects
thought that an artificial system of
commercial restrictions enforced by
thegovernmentw would bring prosper
ity. 1t has brought hard times in
stead. and the people will tolerate it
no longer. Other fiscal nostrums are
set forth as certain remedies for all
the ills the body social is heir to, but
with the results of McKinley's murder
Gus medicine fresh in their minds the
people will turn from them TO the
simple faith of Democracy thatman's
opportunity and his strength are in
himself, not in his government. As
Senator Palmer well said, for every
10 cents worth of help we get from
the government we pay 81 for the
expense.

4 REPORT is current at Monroe
City that a prominent farmer, whose
farm almost runs to the city limits on
the north, ''got ready to cut his hay
last week and couldn't find his NOW
er. Finally he gave up the search
and came down town and procured
a new machine and started it to
work. After cutting for some time
he run onto his machine that had
been left in the meadow and the grass
had grown up around it so thick and
high that it could not be seen until
they had cut up to it,"

MoBERLY and Louisiana colored
people will each hold agricultural
and mechanical fairs this year. A
good idea. One that will tend to
awaken interest in those industries
among colored people and bring them
nearer to q level with their neigh
bors. 1t is to be hoped, however,
that they will not convert their fairs
into exclusively horse races, as is the
case with many of our fairs.

SOME good lawyers are said to be
of the opinion that the local option
law was repealed by the last general
assembly. The act operating to re-
neal the law is said to be inconsistent
with the local option law and the
29th section expressly repeals all
acts or parts inconsistent with the
law. This will open up a new avenue
for attacking this already badly Grip:
pied law.

Resolved" said the Kansas dema-

the form Of pensions, money not their
due We also condemn the mem bershlp
OF said organization for pressing upon ana
demanding of the people the right TO hold
Office and be recognized as an acIINe
factor in the politics of the country. The
right to vote we do not questions; but
their right to dictate or suggest political
action and political party we denounce,

ourselves to resist such presumption on
the part generally Of the ext mon sol,

There are hundreds Of unprincipled

sanction this Infamous declaration and

Of the Farmers Alliance can never be ac
compliShed by consOrting with pOlitlca
shysters and professional office holdres
but when once they get firm grip on thu
throat of that organization, as they hay
done in Kansas and are seeking to do II
Washington, it is difficult to shake then
. off. The farmers can do so by adherinl
to the Republican party and its princi

FAIRHAVEN

With the general depression in bust
ness that has followed the late strin-
gency in the money market, Fairhayen
has had lull in business, but by per-
sonal observation, and from the assur-
ances OF hundreds Of other persons,
we have fully learned that this city
has suffered less than any other city
in Washington, and today it is the
liveliest, most progressive and the
most promising place in the state, if
not within the entire republic. The
business that today is feeling the de-
preston to the greatest degree is that
OF some lines OF merchandising and
the speculative trade in real estate.
In everything in the nature of manu-
featuring, building and the sale Of the
necessaries Of life, there is no abate-
ment in activity. Houses of excellent
character-some OF them costly and
very handsome-are going up all over
the city. In the business part of the
city, within the iire-limits, numerous
edifces Of brick and stone are in
course Of construction. Outside of
the fire limits there are a great many
large business buildings of wooden
material in course Of construction, and
the numerous splendid residences I'M
der way would be a source of pride
to any hourishing city of 10000 inhab-
itants.
A stroll along the water front shows
Improvements that are beginning TO
make that part of the city look as i'm
portant as If we had a population Of
thirty or forty thousand, and no reas-
enable man can look at those improve
ments, and the demands of commerce
upon, them without being struck with
establishment at what has been done
and what is doing. In short, the indi-
yidual who cannot comprehend after
observing all those things, the impor-
lance Of Fairhayen must be obtuse
indeed.
1t is natural, to be sure that one is
liable to guage his estimate of the city
in which he lives, by his own private
business, but that is not a fair critic
rion to judge by, pro or con. One
man may be doing business far be.
yond the average and another a bust
ness far below the average. The one
is just as liable to over-estimate as
the other is to underestimate, hence
the best plan to Judge as to what q
city is doing in the matter of growth
development and commercial strength
and Importance is TO look at the stu
alton from general standpoint. Tn,
HERALD has never for one momen
abated its faith in the mighty futur
OF Fairhaven. The city will grow ii
population and In commercial strengtl
and Importance daily and nothin
short of miracle can stop it nov
Circumstances may not combine {
give every GROWER continued, never
ceasing opportunity to make none
"hand over fist, ;" nor dove understan

express purpose. On the contrar.

persons, who have never done an
thing whatever for the city but
subscribe to this, that or the oth'

We know for certainty tn;
some OF the hardest GROWERS In Il
