their present MISUNDERSTANDING Repub-
lican.
1t is claimed these hard times are the re-
suit of want of confidence on the part of

dence in a Democratic administration.-Ev-
anSville Standard

1t is not to be doubted but that the fair
caused a drain on Charlottesville and Mont
gomery county of very nearly 100000 in
spot cash. If that money were here to-day
things would be humming:-Crawfordsvi

If this practice of shooting high officials
because they do not give every one who
wants an office one is to be kept up several
elections will be necessary ere long. There
are lots of the faithful still unprovided
for.-Greencastle Banno'-Times.
The Democratic national platform de-
nounced the Sherman silver bill as "a mis-
cradle makeshift," and demanded its uncon-
of the party was illustrated when eighteen
Democratic Senators so far forgot their OBJ

The threat to put wool on the free list has
demoralzed the market and broken down
prices The low price leads some farmers
to hold while the uncertainty of the future
leads manufacturers to buy fos' present
needs only. None of them stock up ahead.
The result is disastrous all around-Rush-
VILE Republican.
We have had too much of this insanity
dodge in assassination and murder cases.
It is the first thing resorted to as defense
on the part of Lawyers for the defendant in
criminal cases. \ healthfui example, that

and If American industries ere to be brought
to that stress, the sooner they know 1t the
better.-Richmond Item.
There is no scarcity Of money in the coun-
try Millions of dollars are boarded in old
stockings, clocks and cupboards, and mil
liors more are idle in bank vaults With
the removal of the danger of depreciation
OF the currency and a satisfactory under
standing in .regard TO the tariff the wheels
OF industry will revOlve as they did last
year.-Wabash Plain Dealer.
There are cranks of ves-ying degrees of
yiciousness but the crank that kills is not
much worse than the crank who advises as
sassination There are altogether too many
men in this country who make license of
liberty, and who seem TO imagine that Tree
speech entities them TO preach doctrines
entirely inconsistent with good government
and social ordo,-Lafayette Courier
