also furnished US by Mr.. Cobun.-ED.]
EDITOR DEMOCRAT:
Will you please publish the article
which appeared in the Register last
week from NJ. Peck, of West Virginia.
1. also wish to say that have copy of
my own deposition and the depositions
of John NJ. Pinell, Pene Boggess, John
Windon, and others. which are all open
to the inspection of anyone who cares
to examine them. My deposition, j. NJ.
Pinell's and Pene Boggess have been
at the Register Office for the past two
weeks, have not been published on
account of their great length, but 1
think if the editor of that paper had
been disposed to do me exact Justice he
would have mentioned that fact in his
paper as he had used his paper so freely
in publishing those charges against me.

A FINANCIAL system based on the
theory that ITO him who has shall be
given, and from him who has not shall
be taken away even that which he has,"
will do for the buzzards and vultures
of society, but not for those who believe
in mercy and Justice. That is about
the style of the system which the repub-
lican party, in 80 years of power, has

THE surface of given quantity of
gold, according to the best authorities,
may be extended by the hammer just
3Io,8I4 times. The thickness of the
metal thus extended appears to be no
more than the 500, ,o2oth part of an
inch. Eight ounces of this wonderful
metal would gild silver wire of suf-
ficient length to extend entirely around
the globe.

SENATOR WAsHBURN's bill making
every dealer in options and futures on
farm products pay license tax of one
thousand dollars and five cents per
pound on every pound of farm product
sold and twenty cents bushel upon
evey bushel of grain, should become
a law as it would ef1iectually do away
with the grain and meat gamblers.

The republican editors of this county
speak in very mplimentary terms of
each other; in fact they have regular
''iove feast" all the time. Bro. O'Bleniss
in replying to Bro. Townsley has this
to say:
If we had bill against the republi
can party, we would give it to a repub-
lican for collection, aud also to man
of some common sense and a little in
fluence. And now, dear Commodore,
we want to state that the ''man-with-
his foOt-in- his mouth" about whom
you have so much to say, has at least
one advantage over you-he has the
satisfaction of knowing that he has
something in his head, and although 1t
is feet, it beats nothing.

CHICAGO gets the democratic national
convention, and June 21st is the date

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

NEVER was the farce of civil service
more strikingly displayed than at the
present time by the actions of President
Harrison. The chief executive OF the

the Washington Post as saying: Il

this administration who is against me. d

DIED-On Sunday, January 18th, of
pneumonia, Leonard, son of p. B. and
Elizabeth Kimpler. He was just one
year old on the day of his death. The
little fellow had been suffering for some
time FROM the effects of the grip, and
finally it turned into pneumonia and
death resulted therefrom. Even
though they be priced higher than all
earthly possessions by their parents,
they are not priced as high as they are
by Him that gave them and said ''Suf-
fer little children and forbid them not
for such is the kingdom of Heaven" )"
The funeral was conducted at the
Catholic church and the remains
inferred in the Ellinwood cemetery on
Tuesday.

The Coyotes are beginning to get
pretty tame, having been seen prone

have formed co-partnership arrange
ment and this week consolidated their
business, DIR. Daniels moving his Office
in with DR.. Koch. LATER-They have
bought the Porter s. Co. drug store and

If that little red-headed Irishman of
the Claflin Banner, he who is the terror
of Bro. Huls' life, is as anxious to get
married as the general run of editors
are, and from all accounts we judge he
is, we can guarantee him a charming
little wife if he will trot this way; and
it being leap year he will not have to
do the proposing, either.
It has been said of US that we had
moved out into the country, and from
all accounts Pawnee Rock has followed

our streets almost every night. Three

what were they doing in Benny's ice
cellar?
