Free silver fell among thieves and rob-
bers and was stabbed in a democratic
congress, just the same as if it had been
republican. And democratic papers
are now claiming that "hard money"
has always been a cardinal doctrine of
that party. The following from the
Chicago Herald, one Of the leading
democratic papers in the west, is a
specimen:
"The democratic party from the days
Of Jefferson to the days of thecivil war
was always an honest money party. 1t
was the hard money national party
and fought with Jackson when he
overthrow the monster bank. Gold
and silver, when those metals were at
a parity in the coinage, were the only
money it acknowledged, not because it
was gold and silver, but because it was
the currency of the world, with which
the business of the world was done. 1t
was the best money and therefore 1t
was the right of the people to have it."
To whom then shall we look for de-
liverance from the gold bugs? Verify,
fellow citizens, the Peoples party offers
you the only road to freedom. Delay
no longer to give it your support by
voice and ballot.

The HonitOr-PreSS has at last taken
a position in the Donohue case which
in consideration of its own good name
and also that of its party, it should
have taken as soon as the existing con-
dition of things in Mr.. Donohue's &C.
counts was discovered. Its statement
coming at this time, sounds a great
deal like the eleventh hour repentance.
If the Monitor had gone after this
Watter in the beginning, even as brisk
ly as it does in its last weeks issue. in
stead of waiting for every other paper
in the county to demand of Mr.. Dono-
hue and his bondsmen the proper rec
LITIGATION of his deficit, the matter
would ere this have been adjusted. but
instead of this it busted itself dealing
out apologies and excuses for Mr. Don.
ohue, simply because he was a repub-
lican official. The Monitor seems to
have very peculiar ideas as to the OBJ
legations of political paper to its
party. Loyalty to principle should be
the motto of political as well as all
other papers; and that doesn't mean
an unreasonable, senseless defense of
an Office holder who is short in his &C.
coutS, because he belongs to a certain
party. A dishonest and defaultinV re-
publican is just as amenable to the law
and as deserving of public censure. as
democrat or Peoples party defaulter,
and vice versa. If we had a few more
bold, honest, outspoken political pa.
pers published in the land, there would
be fewer cases of defaulting public Of
dcials than at present and the term
iridesccnt would no longer be used in
connection with political publication.
The paper who hopes to advance its
own interests or that of its party by
trying to cover up questionable acts or
shielding questionable characters. will
be sorely disappointed. A bold, fear
less denunciation. wherever found and
a steadfast cleaving to that which is
honest, upright and true, will alone
win public confidence and esteem

An encouraging sign of the times IS
the growing sentiment in favor of in
dependent political thought and action
expressed by the religious papers. The
following from the last number of the
Christian Standard is only a sample:
"There has been much shifting of pO-
litical issues in the last few years;
many new ideas developed; many re-
forms demanded; some evils aggraya-
ted by new economic conditions; and
it is both stupid and unpatriOtic for a
man to go ahead and vote with a party
because he has always voted with it.
Neither prejudice, self-intereSt, cow
ardice, nor the chances of victory
should influence any citizen in his vOt-
ing. Whenever the majority of our
citizens refuse to be driven in party
harness, without stopping to ask IN
what direction they are being driven;
whenever they deliberately investigate
the character and aims of parties and
candidates, and vote intelligently and
conscientiOuSly, the reform of all re-
forms will have been insugurated, and
the political millennium will have
dawned. But that will not be this
year. The majority will vote at the
dictation of party and prejudice, and
thousands for the very things against
which they will grumble for the next
four years."

this attitude his words to Clarkson in

Two weeks ago the Star contained a
short item about the exodus of farmers
from CaSs county, ILL.,, to which a Fair
bury, ILL.,, paper mentions a parallel
case, as follows: "The exodus of farm
ers from Cass county is about to be
paralleled by a similar migration of
farm owners in this vicinity. The
movement began today with the de-
parture of several families for central
Kansas, and it is understood that the
remainder of the party will settle in
the same region. Nearly all of the
emigrants purchased their farms here
twenty or thirty years ago, at prices
ranging from $40 to $40 per acre.
The same now brings 800 per acre.
The party consists of about thirty
families, and two special freight trains
of twenty cars each, have been char
tered to carry their household goods
and farming implements to their new
homes. THIS is the largest exodus that
has taken place from this district fol
several years. "-ConICdy Star.

1t makes one tired to listen contln-
ually to the cheap money and "depre-
ciated currency" epitbet. Every labor
ing man knows that any legal tender
dollar, be it gold, silver or paper, will
buy him just as much of the neceSSa-
rieS of life as any other dollar and that
the only trouble is their scarcity. The
value is in the labor done-the dollar
is after all only a certificate that he
has performed so much labor, and
without that certificate (fat) would be
worth only its weight as a commodity
which in the case of gold and silver
would be far less than now, but for the
fiat given it by human governments

Two young women stood by the cash
ier's window the other day. One was an
ambitious writer of verse whose effusions
had been persistently rejected by stony
editors, and the other was a teacher out
of position and sorely in debt. They
were engaged, just then, in commiserat-
ing each other, when suddenly a little
brown dwarf with a hump and mourn
fully patient face pushed her way up to
the paying place. my dear girl, now's
your everlasting chance" whispered the
poetess excitedly. "Get right up be-
hind her, where she can't see you, and
touch her hump. Then I'll follow suit,
It's bound to bring us good luck; better
than a rabbits foot; never knew it to
fail"
What nonsense! won't be such q
goosew demurred the teacher girl. But
go ahead yourself" and she stood aside
for the other to get into a secure posi-
ton; the whole charm depending of
course upon doing it unknown to the
humpbacked one.
1t is only necessary to add that the ex-
pertinent was entirely successful, and
that the poetess went straight home and
wrote Loving and Losing" which she

have been committed in Europe by
means of hypnotism that in Italy, Aus

penhagen and other municipalities laws
have been enacted prohibiting its public
practice by any except physicians. So,
ON the other hand, the police, without
amy statute on the subject. have treated
travelling mesmerists as disorderly char
acters. Thus Donate was expelled from
Italy, and Hansen, another hypnotist,
from Austria, was notified never to re-
turn under penalty of arrest, fine and
imprisonment.
