President Palmer of the Worlds Fair
has issued an appeal for contributions
for the family of the Duke of veragua
who recently lost all his money in I'M
fortunate investments. There are a
great many citizens Of this country who
have lost their money in unfortunate in
vestments who are quite as deserving as
the Duke Of Veragua, and the best place
for charity to begin is at home.

The Republicans of Massachusetts,
have done a very sensible thing in put
ting off their State convention until the
cool days of October. A months vigor-
GUS campaigning, such as will be posi-
bic at that time, will be enough to whip
the Democrats out of their boots.

The fercest of the Colorado silver

dressed letter to his Missouri constitu-
ents in which he says:
''Weare now brought face to face with the
question of total silver demonstration in this.
the greatest metallic power the world ever
knew. The Democratic party promised first of
all reform of the tariff. Tariff reform is no
longer talked of except with bated breath
The East proposes to formulate tariff policy
on the line of the original Chicago platform.
brought forward by the Democratic party and
not in harmony with the substitute adopted by
the convention. They also propose to repeal
the Sherman law without granting the free
coinage part of the platform.
NJ is plain TO all that our Eastern friends
played huge bunco game on the Democracy
OF the South and West by Justify preaching
tariff reform, measure SO popular here, but at
the same time intending to spring upon us.
after the election tho sole issue of silver de-
nonetiZation, If the Republicans of the West
and South are true to themselves and the in
terestS OF their constituents, this conspiracy
viii not succeed.
This is pretty harsh language for dis
tinguished Western Democrat to make
use of in regard to his Democratic breth-
rem Of the East. 1t serves to show how
deep and touching is the harmony pre-
vailing within the party of reform On

Senator Palmer of Illinois, Democrat,
thinks the repeal Of the tax on State
banks would be calamity little short of
the free coinage of silver. Why didn't
Mr.. Palmer raise his warning voice be-
fore Congress and President were
elected on platform pledged to its re-
peal?
The Portland daily press., 1893-07-14

The Homerule bill makes rapid prog
ress in spite of the howlings of the Tory
opponents, and there is little room for
doubt that it will pass the Commons
There is just as little that it will be
thrown out by the Lords. What will
happen then it is useless to undertake to
predict.
The Portland daily press., 1893-07-14

No amount of quibbling or evasion can
conceal the fact that in the last Congress
and the preceding one the great majority
of the Democrats in both houses were in
favor Of free coinage, and the great ma
jority of the Republicans in both houses
opposed to it. Had the majority Of the
Democrats been able to have their way
free silver coinage would be an estab-
lished fact today. That it is not the law
of the land now is due to the Republi-
cans.

According to this analysis, we beg to
state that in our opinion, the Beer has
been we'll brewed, we'll fermented and
we'll stored. 1t has good life and shows
good keeping qualities. The Beer has
good and nice round taste, and we can
safely recommend it as wholesome be-
verage. Yours respectfully,

In addition to the fact that this
Beer contains remarkably little
alcohol, we beg to say that 1t is
brewed of genuine hops and the
very best Wisconsin barley, known
as "Scotch Fife" and the water is
taken from the celebrated Wawa-
tosa mineral springs well known
throughout the Northwest; in fact
it is the only Milwaukee Beer
brewed with mineral spring water.

THIEVES ROB A FREIGHT TRAIN.
They Hid Their Plumber Along The
Railroad Track In the Weeds.

Yesterday evening a Wabash de.
tective came to Mexico after sew
eral hundred dollars worth of fine
clothing which was stored in the
city hall. The goods we're thrown
from a Wabash freight train about
2 o'clock Friday night. A negro
named Crawley vas walking along
the railroad track Saturday morn
ing and discovered the goods con-
cealed among the weeds and grass
just east of the city. Another man
claims to have seer three men in
the locality where the goods were
found early Saturday morning.
1t is supposed the thieves boarded
the freight train probably at Mont
gomery City or Wellsville and when
it got to a desirable point near Mex
leo they pitched them off. They
then jumped off of the train when it
slowed up at Mexico and went back
and hid their plumber.
The goods were consigned to
Carpenter & Starkey of Chillicothe.
The detective took an inventory
and found that IL suits were miss.
ing. Fifty coats, 50 pairs of trous-
ers and A vests were recovered.
No arrests so far.

Mr.. and Mrs. Collins of Rush

see about starting a high school in
Laddonia. We hope they will suc-
coed in doing so. The school is
greatly needed and would be advan-

hsod. A good school would pros
per here as well as in any town in
the county or state. There are
plenty to patronize the school, both
for its literary and musical advanta-
ges. 1t would pay to build a house
suitable for the purpose. Let us
have the school.
