NEW ADVERTISEMENTS

This is Il singular world in some re-
s~l,ects.
Here is what the great, free Ameri-
can press has been brought to. What
will be the next quality of news to be
suppressed? The st Tammany Farmer
says:
The law will not permit us to pub
lish the name of the lucky winner Of
the house and lot in the rattle last
Sunday, for the benefit of the Catholic
Church building fund. People are free
to tell each other, but the press is not
free to publish the news-and yet this
is called a free country"

one for Illinois, one for Texas, one
for Arkansas and Kansas, and anoth.

MACUNEISM RUN MAD.
Montague County TEX Subtreasurl.
ites Adopt Some Remarkable
Resolutions.

Special to The Republic.
Gainesville, Tex, Oct. 24-The
subtreasury party, which is very
strong in Montague county, held a
delegate meeting yesterday, which
was largely attended, and the fol-
lowing platform of principles and
resolutions were enunciated:
Whereas, There is now great
scarcity of money, the farmer not
having as much as he wants; and
Whereas. Prices of all kinds are
lower than the producer wants to
take; now, therefore,
Resolved, As the sense of this
meeting, that we demand the passage
by congress of a bill about as fol-
lows:
SEC l. Be it enacted, that from
and after date hereof, anyone who
owes more than he can pay and
makes affidavit to that effect, which
affidavit shall be certified to by at
least two OF his creditors who want
their pay, Immediately upon receipt
of such affidavit properly certified,
the secretary of the interior shall
forward to such applicant enough
money to pay all his debts.
SEC. 2. Anyone who does not owe
more than he can pay, but wants to
hold his property until he can get
more for it, may proceed in the
same manner indicated IN the fore
going section.
SIC. 8. Any one who Goes not
owe anything, but who wants more
money than he sees good chance Ct e
getting under the present outrage
GUS system of robbery and oppres-
sion, may make application stating
how much money he wants, what
rate per cent he thinks is fair, when
he can pay, and also if he thinks he
can pay at all. Upon receipt of ap-
plication the secretary of the interi-
or shall submit it to an advisory
board of three, which shall fix the
amount to be advanced to said ap-
plicant. but in no case shall such
amount be less than three fourths
of the amount asked for, nor at a
higher rate than the applicant is
willing to pay.
Sec. 4. The secretary of the ints-
rior shall keep rec l of the names
of all applicants, the amount loaned,
etc, and in case anyone fails to pay
he shall not receive more than so
per cent on his next application.
But, Of course, everybody will pay
up as money will oe plentiful.
SEC. 5 The secretary of the in
terror shall keep a supply of appli
cation blanks at each postoffice, and
all such applications shall be for
warded through the mails free of
postage.
SEC. 6. Anyone making false pre-
tense in his application shall forfeit
one fourth of the amount which may
he loaned to him. and also be dabar.
ed from borrowing money more
than twice under the provisions OF
this act.

I'm Outline Sketch Of Il democrat.
New York Sun.
1T is safe doctrine to assume
that this government should do
nothing for the people that the peo,
pie can do better for themselves.
That is the democratic theory;
the republican doctrine is that the
people should be allowed to do
nothing for themselves which the
federal government can do worse.
This tendency to paternalism is
battering down the boundary lines
Of the states and obliterating the
principles upon which our republic
is founded" The first duty t the
democracy is to preserve intact these
boundary lines, and to maintain in
violate these principles. That is
the main and the everlasting issue
between democracy and republican,
ism. The two passages quoted con.
tain the cardinal principles of the
democratic faith. They outline the
genuine democrat. They are quoted
from recent speeches delivered in
congress by the Hon. Roswell p.
Flower. He does not often indulge
in generalization, but he is abund.
antly able when occasion demands
to formulate in clear and forcible
phrases the vital and essential doc
trines Of the party which he repre-
sents in the present important can
vass. He is . democrat.

Cheerful Democracy.

Just few days and then come
the November elections. The in
terest is intense and daily increas-
ing. The issues at stake are of
more than ordinary moment and the
efforts being made for supremacy
are gigantic. Both the parties are
uneasy Both sides aware that the
margin will be very narrow-that
the changing of a few votes may be
all that is necessary to wiring vic
tory from the grasp Of the opposi-
ton. Each side is putting forward
its most brilliant orators, it's most
profound reasoners, and its ahlest
cimpaigners. Battle SCARED veterans
of an hundred contests, victors in
many a superbly fought field are in
the front and their clarion voices can
be heard in defiance of enemies and
encouragement of their followers.
The grandest intellects of the ma
ton are on the rostrum. They are
fighting magni6cently, and-where
will fall the victor's wreath?
Sum it up if you will and the re-
suits.
Of the four principal states hold
ing elections next month-New
York, Massachusetts, Ohio and To-
wa-the three latter have always
been considered reliably republican,
and the first named has gone repub-
lican as often as it has den ocls C.
Hence the republicans ma. win in
all and gain nothing, while every
state carried by the democracy will
be nail in the republican coffin.
While the above are facts the
probabilities are very strong that all
four of these states will vote in op-
position to republicanism. In each
one of these states the democracy
is pushing the fight. In no case
are they on the defensive.
Gov. Russell has given the people
of Massachusetts, ciean and pro
gressive administration, and is with
out doubt the most popular young
man in the state. His re election
will not pe a matter OF no great sur
prise.
As to New York it is only ques
tion as to whether the majority for
Mr.. Flower will exceed $4,000 or fall
below those figures.

Dear Sr-In justice to myself and
friends wish to state through the COL
umns OF your paper, that after reluctantly
allowing my name to be used as one OF
ten free holders granting license to VIM.
{. Baker, of Port Deposit, to sell intoxi-
eating liquors, l feel not little humili-
ated because of said act and with much
regret for having doue SO, l hereby say
to the public and all concerned, that l
will seek the earliest possible opportunity
to have it removed.
am fully convinced that as good
citizen and Christian l cannot stand in
any allied relationship with such an
Ubiquitous traffic.
The human heart cannot enjoy the
blessings of a Saviour and endorse the
saloon with its curses at the same time.
The missions of the two are as wide apart
as heaven and hell. l therefore hope
that my friends and brethren in Christ,
will not consider me as an apostate from
the temperance cause, but let my recent
and unwise course be looked upon as an
error in judgment, of one whose past
record, (save in this one instance) in its
relation to the cause of intemperance,
has been that of uncompromising and
unrelenting hostility.
Desiring to bring no reproach upon
myself, the Church or the Masters cause,
l earnestly ask the forgiveness of my
Christian co-workers aud fellow laborers
in the cause of Temperance as we'll as o.
my Father in Heaven.

On Wednesday Afternoon our town be-
came very much excited by telegram
from McCalls Ferry stating that the
gorge of ice " which had formed there had
given away and the ice was moving
rapidly toward our town. A number OF
our citizens who live on the lower side
of the street moved their furniture to
their second stories and made prepare
lions for being flooded. The ice COM
menced coming down about p. M, and
by nine the river from Cecil TO Hartford
shores was packed full. The river rose
about twelve inches an hour and oy
midnight was on some OF the wharVes.
About 8 o'clock it was learned the ice
below the town had given away and was
passing down and out on both sides OF
Garrett Island which eased the minds OF
the people. But at midnight when the
ice stopped running many supposed
it had gorged, but it only proved to be
that there was not enough water to force
the immense amount of ice out into the
bay. This Thursday afternoon there
seems to be but little danger for any
trouble to our town. Nj.
