CLEvELAND's HYPOTHETICAL VAIL

The 'force bill, over which Cleveland
does so much numbering and about
which the Democrats are doing so much
bowling, hoping thereby to solidify the
northern vote through the old time
"bloody shirt cry, and prejudice, is, or
was an election measure passed By the
Republican house of 1890 and defeated
by the senate. II was not passed against
the south but applied 70 all states alike.
The measure only applied to Presidential
and congressional elections and its one
rations were made effective throughout
the civil courts, so that democratic
judge in the south had under it all the
power that Republican Judge of the
north would have had The main object
of the bill was TO prevent fraudulent
naturalization, 10 secure the registration
of every legal vote and To assure him
freedom in casting his ballott and insure
a fair count. There was no force about
it unless force was used to intimidate
the elector.
Now all the howl of Cleveland against
the Republican platform is because of
the platform which guarantees. in the
name of the constitution, the right to
cast an untrammelled ballot and to
have it counted and returned as cast
But Cleveland and the Democratic
party are against free elections and a
fair count.

WEAVING WEAVER.

A vote for Cleveland means vote for

terest: Tor spoiis and office: for money to
rule the country; for gold standard and

squander on II useless Davy: for the con-
tinuatioD of the national bank system; for
the demonstration of silver; for the rule
OF plutocracy and the destruction of the
epublic.-Alliance Times.
If that is all true then how comes it
that the Times and lis party are trying
to throw the election of president into a
Democratic house by voting for Weaver,
which means the election of Cleveland2
The fusion in Kansas is endorsed by
Cleveland himself and urged by ali the
Democratic bosses who are to control

Aud who is and what has Weaver
been. He has been all things to all par
ties only that he, Weaver, might win.
Congressman OFarrell, of Virginia,
sized up Mr.. Weaver the other day

then Democrat, then an Alliance man,
and now Third Partyite.
Click, Martin and company are not for

election Of president thrown into the

very suddenly that they were nowhere

CROPS IN CLARK COUNTY.

ASHLAND, CLARK Co., July g.
| To the Editor OF the Eagle
We wish to say that Clark county is
on healthy boom. People are too busy
to even talk politics. Harvesting and
threshing is the popular calling. and the
wheat is in fine condition and an excel
lent yield of grain, from twenty to forty
bushels per acre. The Fox brothers will
have 1000 bushels. Several parties have
$50 acres each, at an average of thirty
bushels per acre. Parties who have an
interest in Clark and entertain any
doubts can refer to Messrs. Vanlaning
ham, Winton. c. B. Wilson, DR.. Turner,
McMinnime, Harden, Daniels & Son,
Folsom, Jr., Hensley and scores of others,
who will confirm all. A large portion
of the wheat is No. and of good grade,
rye is excellent, and barley immense.
One man says part of his barley
threshed out 100 bushels per ace. Land
is yet cheap, yet quite number of
farmers are selling, some for spot cash.
Court has adjourned, and the usual
condemnation or praise of the jury goes
up. owing to whose OK has been gored.
Dr. Espy has purchased the mill at
this place, put it in good repair, and is
ready to serve the public in grinding
feed, fine article of bolted meal for
table use, and also an excellent article
of graham flour. The enterprise will
turn many a wagon towards Ashland
Many who have Disguised them
selves with this county are now
returning. INCREASINGLY complaining is
worse on the complainer and his family
than on any one else, for he suffers him
self to be cynic, he believes every body,
and yet condemns everyone, and finally
condeming his own location far below
every other; he gives away what he has
left and starts for the land of milk and
honey and those large grapes. But
starting on tramp, he is soon brought
to his senses, and realizes the application
of Holy writ in which he has lead HIM
self TO believe lie, and is damned, or
words to that effect, and he returns with
his thinking machine slightly improved,
saying: CLARK county is good enough
for me-" Why men will shut their eyes
to facts, their minds to reason and COM
plain themselves into the belief of such
falIacies and act upon them to the
detriment of whole community, will
remain mystery. Let us hope for
change in this. r.

When Blaine resigned. it was said that
he did so because, while considering the

very soon after sent his plan TO congress
in the shape of message, and the Demo

his views, and one that has set Canada

Out of Mischief When Busy.

From the st. Louis Post-Dlspatch.
Senator Palmer is opposed to the good
Mr.. Quay's bill to close the worlds fair
Sundays. He saws he would shut up the
whole people of Chicago in the fair
buildings and grounds on Sundays to
keep them out of mischief. This really
is practical Christian suggestion. An
idle brain is the devils workshop, and
when the Chicagoans have nothing to
do they do things they ought not to do,
mitted to vary the dead monotony of the
day with instructive studies of outland-
Ish people, it is possible that it will not
occur to them TO be wicked. The old
senator may be little extreme on the
right of labor, but he is very sane on the
american Sabbath"
