THE FREE c0lNAGE BILL.
Its Advocates Ready to Compromise
May BE Brought To a Vote.

May BE Brought 10 Vote.
WASHINGTON, Feb ~. - The free
coinage men are considering as a last re-
sort proposition to have q bill reported
from the committee on appropriation
for the free coinage Of silver which shall
be the product OF American mines alone.
The friends Of free coinage have gone
aboutamong the Republicans, and claim
to have discovered thirty-eight Republi-
cans who are willing to vote for such a
bill if it can be reported from the com.
mittee ON coinage. The difficulty now
will be TO secure such a report, but there
is some prohai lily that q com romise
may be made in the committee on coin
age, which will result in having the bill
reported to the house IN some form so
that that body may vote upon it if, UNI
der the rules, an opportunity can lie 80.
cured for that purpose,
Some Of the members of the house,
who claim 10 be opposed to free coinage,
have been playing tie demagogue a great
deal in regard 10 this bill Ihey have
been endeayCing TO make the free com
age men think that they are disposed to
give them an opportunity TO be heard in
the house, when they really are as deter
mined, CT say they a privately, as any
body to prevent the passage Of the bill.
Mr.. FoWer, Of New York, claims to be
opposed to free coinage, and is a candi-
date for governor Of thai state Never.
theless he has given all the influence of
his votes to the free-coinage men thus
far. One of the embarras sments which
the opponents Of free coinage have to
encounter in the house is the attitude Of
80 many of the members who profess to
be opposed TO free coinage, yet are lend
ing their influence in every way, with
out committing themselves in an open,
recorded vote, to every movement which
the free-coinage men make and use
their influence openly in opposition to
silver mOnometali~m.

Who was the Ch@ronian sage the Celtic
Homer and the French Ovid?
Plutarch, who was born in Ch@rona, in
Boetia, one of the old Greek provinces, was
sometimes called the Ch@ronian sage. BY
the term Celtic Homer, Ossian probably is
meant. He is supposed to have lived in
the Third century. Several writers at one
time and another have been called the
French Ovid, but the Characterization has
oftenest been applied to Du Bellay, who
lived in the Sixteenth century.-St. Louis

Essay ON Tobacco.

Here is boys essay on tobac-
co: Tobacco grows somethin'
like cabbage, but I never saw none
cooked. I have heard men say
that cigars given 'em ON Election
day for nothin' was mostly cab
bage leaves. Tobacco stores are
kept by wooden Injun's that stand
at the door and fool boys by Of
ferin' 'em a bunch of cigars what's
glued into the Injun's hands, and
it made of wood, too. I tried to
smoke q cigar once, and felt like
EPSON salts. Tobacco was invent
ed by man named Walter Ra-
leigh, whose head was cut off.
When the people first saw him
smoke they thought he was a
steamboat and was frightened. My
sister Nancy is girl. There is q
fellow that comes to see her named
Leroy. He was standing on the
steps one night and had a cigar in
his hand and said: stI don't know
whether you like smoking or not.'
And she said: Leroy, the per-
fume is disagreeable.' But when
my big brother, Tom, lighted his
pipe, she said: Get out of the
house, you horrid creature; the
smell of your tobacco makes me
sickl" Snuff is Injun meal made
out of tobacco. I took q little
snuff once, then 1 sneezed."

sorghum from sugar. His factory
is on his farm south of town and he
will be permitted to begin work
after the first of next month. The

10000 or 10000 pounds this sea-

cane that his neighbors will furnish
besides what he will raise himself
We believe Henry will succeed
Hope he will, at least. He will
then get that two cents per pound

then, too, maybe US sugar eaters
about Laddonia will be enabled t.
get even more than twenty pounds
of the article for a dollar, as tn,

''In my opinion our ticket will

Our Roads.

From the Glasgow Central Missourian.
The Mexico LEDGER recently
suggested that the road overseers
in the various counties meet in
convention. The suggestion Of
fered, if carried out, would doubt
less result in great and iasting
benefit to the varleus counties. A
careful perusal Of the financial
statement published in the Missoss-
rian last week will disclose the
fact that thousands of dollars are
annually expended on the roads in
this county and yet the actual ben
efits arising from the work done
practically amounts to nothing.
So long as the present haphaxard
system Of working the roads con-
tinues, just 80 long will We have
impossible roads during bad weash-
er. Enough money is spent on
our roads each year to macadamize
many miles of road, and if the peo.
pie most directly interested could
only be convinced of the futillty of
the present methods We would
soon have every road in the coun-
ty macadamized. The growth and
prosperity of a county Is largely
affected by the condition Of its
roads, and Howard county has
