LOGIC or THE SITUATION,


The vote in this county for the
Peoples party ticket Is an evidence
Of the dissatisfaction Of members Of
both old parties with the attitude Of
those two parties on the silver ques-
ton. In fact the organization Of the
Peoples party was the natural con-
sequence of such dissatisfaction ali
over the United States with the Re-
publican and Democratic parties as
70 their attitude on the monetary and
one Or two other questions. But the
Peoples party did not receive the
support Of but very small per cent.
OF the sentiment in its favor. The
reason is plain, and the cause is found
in very prominent and almost uni
versal characteristic of humanity.
Between the two old parties the line
is distinctly drawn and divides the
people as heretofore, but there are
principles that neither Of these par
ties will enact into law that are de-
manded by the great mass of the
producers Of the country, but de-
manded in vain. On these princi-
pies the great mass Of the producers,
without regard to party affiliations,
unite on common ground, and these
they deem Of the greatest Importance
to the nation, compared with which
the old dividing issues sink into in
significance. One OF these all i'm
portant questions is the free coinage
Of silver. Notwithstanding this su,
. very small per cent. Of the voters
voted their convictions on this ques.
ton. Between the old parties they
were either Democrats or Republic.
ans, and that is the way nearly al
voted, being sure that vote for the
Peoples party would be one vote
less for the Democrats or Republicans
and on State and National tickets
in many instances, vote that would
count for the opposition. That view
of the matter was the controlling in
fiuence in determining their votes
and the result was the Peoples party
vote expressed in but a very small
degree the political sentiment of th'
country. The Peoples party il
emphatically and unequivocally /,
free coinage party. The old parties arr
not. When old parties do not carry
out the will of the people, the grea
laboring masses, the producers, th'
bone and sinew and the patriotism o
the country, new party will b.
formed, always. Such has been tn
history of the country, and histor,
will continue TO repeat itself. Bois
county will illustrate the fact that th
Peoples party has much stronge
following than was indicated by th
vote. The people are for free coin
age with scarcely an exception, an
free coinage they know is of NOR
Importance than all other issues com
bined, yet they did not vote that way
The people, however, are aroused, a
over the United States as they are /
Idaho. Either one or both of the oil
parties will have to heed the demand
of the people, or they will hear some
thing drop, and drop heavily. Th
will of the people is sure to End e1
preston, sooner or later, elthe
through one or the other of the oil
parties, or through new party.

ticket until he reached Baird's neigh

candidate out of the race George
would have won. Another disadvan-

The Democracy will soon have IN
their hands the veins OF every branch
Of the government. This i - it
should be. Republicans, - we'll -
democrats, can and do rejoice over
the fact that, as the Democrats have
won the Presidency, they will soon
have majority in the Senate, - we'll
as the House. While Cleveland oc-
cupied the Presidential chair before,
al Democratic legislation was
blocked BY Republican Senate, 90
no strictly Democratic measure be-
came law. Under Cleveland's ad-
ministration We were living COM
pleteiy under Republican laws. Now
the Democratic party cannot escape
responsibility for carrying through,
or failing to carry through their
measures. In other words they will
have an opportunity TO practice what
they preach. If they do not do this
the party will fall to pieces. Repub-
licans will watch results with inter-
est. They are firm in the belief that
tariff, such IS the Democracy ad-
vocates, will prove injurious, not only
to manufacturing industries, but to
every other industry, and that labor
will 60 begging for employment. II
the Democracy has the courage to
carry out the elegant utterance of its
platform, we will know ere long to q
certainty whether or not The Re-
publican policy of protection is .
fraud" We will also know whether
or not wildcat State bank curreacy
will prove to be what it once was, a
f1uctuating, unstable currency. of
different values in every State in the
Union, and a constant source OF
losses and harassing annoyances
in business transactions. We will
know, if the Democracy proves true
to its platform. II it does not prove
true the party will be weakened.
Every Republican official has not
been honest. Republicans will ad-
nit that. They have not contended
that perfection exists in humanity,
and will not exist until the milleni-
um, and therefore to contend that
their officials have all been perfection
would be absurd. But they do know
one thing, and that is that the favor
lite Democratic slogan, turn the
rascals OUT will be fully as applica-
BILE to the Democratic party in very
short time as it has been to the Re.
publican. We are firm IN the belief
that when Democratic measures are
tried, they will be found wanting
and that they will not prove bless
ing to the country Democrats honest
ly believe they will. However, tbs
only true determination is practica
test. If the Democracy fails of it
mission, it will go under. That is, i
it fails to practice what it has preached
so long with so much apparent earn
estness, the rank and file will deser

preached, comparison of results wit!
results of Republican legislation vii
determine whether their measures ar
good or bai. The people, by bi!
majority have demanded that th

beneficial the Democracy will be a.
right. If the reverse, Democrac.
will be doomed. 1t is our firm be

Two men offered to sell their votes

Two men offered to sell their votes
here on election day. A challenge,
signed by Democrats and Repubf-
cans, was placed in the hands of the
Judges. These two worthies who
proposed to vote for revenue only did
not show up in the booths. They
had heard of the challenge. The
election was fair in every respect,
and everybody is satisfied that the
vote was an expression of the free
and untrammeled will of the voters,
and that no votes were bought.

8EHE8EXDUA AXO INITIATIVE
We have frequently been asked
for an explanation of the terms ref

better than to give this definition fur

SUNDAYS Sermons.

On last Sunday morning, at the Meth
odist church, the pastor, Rev. E. NJ.
Whitingr preached his last regular ser
mon before leaving for conference. His
subject was THE Ministry of Angels. "
All expected a good sermon, and none
were disappointed. 1t was one of the
most pathetic discourses ever delivered
in that church, and whether Mr.. VIII :
ing is returned to this charge or not his
good words and good works will live in
the hearts of those who appreciate and
love him. After the regular service at
night Mr.. Jacob Mcneil was received
into the church as member, and after
he was baptized the right hand offellow-
ship was extended to him by the pastor
and members of the church who
were present.
The Rev. DR.. Patterson, who so ably
fills the pulpit of the Baptist church;
preached to his people, morning and
night, most interesting GiscOursas. Dr..
Patterson is one of that class of preach
ers who wears well, and the longer he
ministers at the altar the more he is
loved and esteemed by those who attend
upon his ministrations.

EDITOR NEWS: | am not quoted cor
rectly in the Atlanta Constitution about
the worlds far appropriation by tie
State of Georgia.
What did say was, in substance, that
if our constitution and the financial de-
preston of the county would permit, I
should be in favor of a large appropria-
ton for the grand old state of Geor-
gia. But | came here ON the line of
economy and shalk as far as possible,
look we'll to the interest Of taxpayers of
the state. AS member of the finance
committee, | am in a position TO assist in
watching the treasury of the state. 30
far, the committee has been very cautious
in all matters relating to appropriations.
1t has refused TO give anything to the
branch colleges, but has been more lib
eral to common schools than | expected.

sion that has gone out concerning the
Experimental Station, at Griffin. That
was a good financial transaction for the
state. 1t is now worth $25, 600 aud has
never cost the state more than 81 900,
and is now receiving from the Hatch
fund of the U. 5. government, which
fund is permanent, S15, 900 annually,
which is more than sufficient to run the
station.

postponed until Wednesday next. don't
think it will pass the house, though, it it
does, the amendments attaohedleaye but
little objection to it.
The house is now occupied in trying
to perfect the appropriation oct, and the

We are now having night sessions and

A HAPPY OCCASION

63rd Birthday,

Judge Query and the editor had the
pleasure of enjoying one of the finest
dinners ever served in the county at the
hospitale country home OF Rev. P. l..
York on Tuesday of last week.
The occasion was the 63rd anniversary
of Mr.. York, and, as they always do on
the 10Th of November, he and his esti-
mable wife prepared feast and invited
all their descendants and a few friends
to enjoy it with them. If we remembt +

sent. Besides there was a large number
Of other guests present, the whole num-

people.
A greater variety of good things was
probably never served under one IrOof,
and in an abundance sufficient to more

THE SLANDERER SILENCED.
MAGGIE DOWTY AvENGES HER
WRONGS UPON HER PERsECUTOR.
Now She Lies in a Montana Jail and Patient
ly Awaits the Verdict that ShoHld Set
Her Free--An Affecting Story,

HELENA, Mont, Nov. 29.-Wronged
before she was Is, assaulted two years
later by the man who ruined her, Sian
dered by the same vile creature after she
was honorably married, poor Maggie
DOwty lies in jail in Livingston, soon to
become mother.
The charge of murder hangs over her.
The tragedy was most sensational, and
although it took place ten days ago, the
particulars are just coming to light. 1t
occurred at Cokesdale, a small coal min
ing camp in Pike county. Just three
years ago pretty Maggie Mcdonald, not
vet Is, was taken to dance in Living
ST. n by Patrick Tierney, neighbor of
her father, 80 years of age,
And Her Ruin Was Accomplished.
Afterward she was terrorized into ST
lence. Just two years later he found the
girl alone in her mothers house at Cokes-
dale and assaulted her, but she fought
the fiend with desperation, and plowed
deep burrows into his face with her tin
Ger nails, and foiled him.
Last June the girl was married, and
no tint of scandal attached to her good
name, out in time the demon of her life
began by hints, insinuations and emu
endoes to destroy her husbands conf
dence in her, ana he questioned her and
wrung from her lips all the sad story OF
her wrongs. Then the poor girl-wife in
deep humiliation. at the shame and
wrongs heaped upon her, took poison,
and, but for timely discovery and
prompt assistance, would have passed
beyond the veil.
Brought Back to Life,
she again took up the duties of her joy
less life and thought of means to avenge
her wrongs which were killing her.
she bought big 44-calibre Colt revolt
yer, and one night at the supper hour she
went to the place where Tierney boarded
and sent word for him to come out.
As he appeared in the doorway she
asked why he persisted in prosecuting
ner. He denied that he had spoken Ill
of her since her marriage, but the words
were scarcely out of his mouth before
bullet was in his heart, and in few
moments he was dead.
Quietly returning home she gave the
weapon to her mother and awaited the
Offices who came to arrest hers She IS
now in Jail awaiting the day OF her moth
erhood and trial for the murder.
