To Amend the silver Law.
r. F. SCOFFERN

10 A~Cm0 INC SeAVC1 A0~s
Special to the Capital.
WASHINGTON, D. c., February 15.-Con-
gresham Broderick to-day introduced a
bill amending the present silver law by in-
creasing the aggregate amount of the pur-
chase of silver bullion from four and one
half million ounces to six million ounces.
1t also contains provision that in making
such purchase American silver shall be pre-
ferred. and if at the close of any month a
sufficient amount of silver bullion from the
American product has not been offered and
purchased to comply with the law, the Sec
rotary is directed to make purchasesof bull
lion, if offered, without being restricted
to our domestic production, so that the ag-
gregate purchases will amount to 5000, 900
ounces for each month.
MIR. BrOderick believes that this bill will
be more satisfactory to the people Of the
west than absolutely free coinage and it is
quite likely that it will be supported by
western republicans in preference to a free
coinage bill.

IT WOULD be q sad commentary on
the growing purity of politics and
the intelligence of the American peo-
pie to have elevated to the chief mag
istracy of this nation such a charac-
ter as Dave Hill-a man who is in
no way a representative of principles,
but on the contrary the embodiment
of political filth and official corrup-
ton. Through Lis Vaccinations the
political supremacy of New York has
been placed permanently in the con-
troll OF the Tamany ring, an organi-
cation reeking with infamy and
crime. Hill represents the worst
element of American politics, and we
are not surprised that So many lead
ing newspapers of the Democratic
party are denouncing his methods
and candidacy.

Shall We Howl with the Kickers I?

y
Horace Barclay had communica-
ton in last weeks Democrat, stating
that he called on the editor Of this pa
per for the reasons Of his discharge,
and that we failed to tell him. Said
communication is followed by editor
ial comments, reminding us of our
promise TO procure such information
or set up howl in unison with other
kickers.
Mr.. Barclay leaves the impression
that we could not or would not fur
nish the desired information. The
fact is he called on us at the feed
store; we had written memorandum
of all matters connected with his case
in a pigeon hole at the printing Office,
and so assured Mr.. Barclay, offering
to accompany him there and lcok
it over. Before doing SO, we
stopped to give him a synopsis OF
what we had gathered from said mem
orandum, whereupon our visitor said
it WAS unnecessary to go to the print
ing Office, as he knew by our explana-
ton just what tho memorandum
amounted to. He then gave us his
version of the matter, according to
which he was provoked to disobey the
commandments orders by not receiving
clothing to which he felt entitled.
We inquired whether he had any idea
why the needed supplies were not
furnished. He said that he had no
idea, but thought the G. A. R. could
have kept him in the Home if he had
belonged to that organization. Mr..
Barclay has to some extent favored us
with patronage in the past. We felt
kindly towards him and SO expressed
ourself, but as he was one of the three
who petitioned the Legislature 10 dis

investigate further before committing
this paper blindly to his leadership.

The Times Ensign recently init
mated that this paper cast slur Oh
its Bucklin advertisers by abiding to
them in connection with the foreign
soap and patent medicine literature
which each week greets the almiring
gaze of the readers of that delectable
journal. Such, however, was not our
intention. We were simply calling
attention to the fact that our esteemed
contemporary could not be a very
heavyloser by any effort of ours in this
community, as his advertising col
umns were mostly filed by outside
patrons.

Eating Buckwheat Cakes.

Says gentleman who attended the re-
cent Methodist conference in Washing
ton: 81 was amused at the way in which
a few English delegates conducted them
selves at the hotel. It reminded me Of
the story told about Matthew Arnold on
the occasion of his visit to this country.
When at Cleveland he was generously
entertained. One morning his host put
before him at the breakfast table, among
other things, buckwheat cakes. For .
long time neither he nor his wife took
any cakes, but noticing that his Ameri-
can friends ate them with . great ap-
parent relish and gusto, he gingerly took
one on his plate and tasted it very crit
ically. Then leaning over to his wife he
said, You'd better try one, deah, they

JERRY SIMPSONS NEW FREAK

JERRY SIMPSONS NEW FREAK.
No flies are roosting on Jerry Simp-
son. His pedal extremities were al
ways provided with the finest, softest
silken hosiery that the looms of Eu-
rope could produce, yet he won his
way to the peoples hearts by posing
as the sockless statesman. This ro-
nance is now back number. It
carried him into the halls of congress,
but now its race is run. In order to
succeed himself our Jerry must come
to the front with a new scarecrow to
draw the fire Of his opponents. Sam
sons strength was in his luxuriant
hair, but jeremiah is only strong as
q freak. No one knows this better
than himself, and already is the plan
of campaign laid out on that line.
This time phonetic spelling is the
platform and the battle cry. Already
thousands OF brief messages are issu-
ing from his prolific hand, writ
ten in smooth, clerky chirography,
but painfully direct and barbarous as
to spelling. Whenever the astute
Simpson receives letter from one of
his constituents, or has any other
plausible pretext for communicating
his chaste and classic ideas, he sends
a missive written by his own
hand. There is nothing peculiar
about these autograph letters except
the spelling, which is strictly phonet
ic Especial care is taken that repub-
ican politicians shall receive them.
The chairman of our republican cen
trail committee and a prominent re-
publican attorney of this city each
has one. The object of our crafty
congressman is evidently to set the
republican newspapers and speakers
to pounding away at his photography
and leave the more essential matter
of record and principles in the back
ground. This will also endear him
to the rank and file of the great un-

Cut or His Ten Foot Beard.

Mr.. Phil Henson, the gentleman dis
tinguished for having produced the long
est beard in the world, found it so in
convenient and uncomfortable that he
was induced to cut it off. A number of
his friends had planned to place him in
charge of the Mississippi department Of
the Worlds exposition at Chicago, where
it was presumed his remarkable beard
would prove a striking feature in the
attractions. and much regret is felt that
he chose to relieve himself of that in
cumbrance. The beard was by actual
measurement about ten feet long,

Japanese Cigarettes In China.

During the month Of May last the ex-
port of japanese cigarettes to Shanghai
aggregated 55a, 800, from which it may
be inferred that the foreign residents Of
China are beginning to appreciate the
japanese article. But unfortunately, as
is usually the case with everything ex-
ported from this country, the necessity
of keeping up the quality of the article
is not appreciated.
Adulteration with leaves Of the lotus,
the goba and so forth, has been resorted
to, with the result of greatly injuring
the reputation which the cigarettes were
just beginning to earn. The Toxic news

A Business President.

President Harrison will be remembered
with prOfOundest admiration and gratitude
for many things done by him during his
administration; one of which particularly
should cause the heart Of every patriotic
citizen to rejoice.
The selection by him Of MIR. Wanamaker
in charge Of the postal affairs demonstrates
the practical results Of putting practical

simply immortalizes himself, and reflects
the brightest l,,ster on the sagacity of Pres

by his untiring energy and wisdom in his
grand measures for postal telegraph and

DEAR SIR:-I have just read the

around for position that would justify
me in accepting. could find none and
came to the conclusion that l would
again fall back into railroading. But l
wish to say to my old friends that the
move is temporary, and l shall at some
time be again among you. My heart is
with you now. My farm and town prop
erty at Bucklin will remain in my pos
session. Ford county is good enough
for me, and as soon as circumstances per-

thank my friends in Ford county for the
support given me in the late campaign.
notice an item in the last issue of the
GLOBE regarding the add
vance of real estate in eastern states. l
can substantiate that fact. Farm prop
erty here that was selling from $40 to
$50 per acre few years ago, is now SELL
ing at $40 to $50 per acre, with plenty of
purchasers, and the lands of western

double their present value. My advice
to those who have property in Ford coun-
ty is: Hold on to it.
