the right to refuse payment Of them in gold
and to pay in silver if it had chosen, but the
moment it did so there would have been a
discrimination against silver, and gold would
have at once gone to a premium. which
would have meant the striking of goo Co.,

SOME THOUGHTS FOR OUR FARMERS

The State Farmers Alliance is now in
session in this city, and it is therefore
seAsonabieto present a few thoughts'to them
on the political situation. especially as it is
said that the more thoughtless of them are
contemplating an abandonment of the old
time-honored Democratic party. which has so
long been their shield and defense. for the
untried and doubtful expedisnt of Third
partyiSm. All who may have an idea of
taking so unwise step THE TINES bees

facts:

Some OF tue Veterans Reply to the Report
Of tho BOARD.

At the recent meeting OF the board Of Wis
itors Of the Soldiers Home when a report
was adopted generating General Terry in
regard to the complaints made against the
management OF the Home, It was decided
that copy OF the report oe sent TO the COM
plainants tor their consideration This has
been done by Major Thomas A. Brander,
chairman Of the executive committee which
had charge Of the Investigation.
Messrs. \. O.. Wall and w. NJ. lawson,
two OF the inmates Of the Home who head
ed the list Of those who signed the petition
praying for a change of management of the
Home have just sent 20 Major Brander the
following reply:

the following conclusions We have care

ate consideration have come 90 the cOnclu.

Your report goes on 20 say. On some
occasions it has happened that the food
furnished the inmateslof the Home though
abundant has not been properly pre-
pared. also. occasionally materials for
which the board has paid the market price
have been received Of inferior quality. THIS
doubtless has been due TO the failure Of tho
board heretofore 20 accurately define the
duties OF the various officers and employees
Of the institution, but this can aud will be
remsdied.'
Thus generously you yindicate the super
intendent al the expense Of the board. The
evident conclusion 20 be drawn from the
above quotations Is that in yindicating the
superintendent you most emphalcally vim
dictate our petition. and You can and will
remedy the evils complained Of. this is all
we prayed for in our paper.
We are most happy TO inform the board
that since our petition has Deen under in
yestigation General Terry has treated the
veterans OF the Home with marked respect
and consideration; also tho provisions set
before Us have been much better prepared
and are more palatsble. II this had always
been done no petition would have bean
sent to the board. and there would have been
no occasion for tho "laborous investigation
