ELIzABETHTowN. ILL, December 25.
AT dance at Rock Creek, near here
last night, Dave Evans and John How
ell appeared for the purpose, as they
said, of raising disturbance and "do.
Ing up" George Barnard. They found
Barnard and drew their revolvers,
but Barnard was too quick
for Evans, the spokesman, and
sent ball crashing through
his mouth. Barnard's revolver only
contained two cartridges and after fir
ing the second shot he was at the mercy
of his assailants who emptied their re-
volvers at him. Howell following him
up and shooting him until he fell dead.
Howell gave himself up and Evans
walked to house nearby where he lies
in a critical condition. An old grudge
IS at the bottom OF the affair, occasloned
by trouble over a woman.

not afraid to take the bull by the

Meeker county, was suspended
from office few weeks ago, and a
special commissioner was appointed
to take testimony and report to
the governor. In the meantime
the county commissioners of
Meeker county reinstated Dart as
treasurer. The special commits
sioner submitted his report to the
governor which corroborated the
charges that had been preferred
against Dart, to-wit: that he had
been in the habit of lending the
county funds and taking personal
checks as security. The governor
adjudged Dart guilty of malefeas-
ance in Office and Immediately re-
moved him from the Office of county
treasurer.

The department of agriculture
bulletin issued Nov. 10th says of
potatoes: Il
The November returns relative to
potatoes give the estimated average
yield per acre in bushels. The yield
per acre as averaged for the whole
country is 1872 bushels. This is rs
bushels less than the average for ten
year period ending 1889. The general
quality is shown to be good, and
though the dry weather tended to re-
duce the size of the tubers, they are
generally sound and mealy. The per-
centage of quality stands at 80.
There is a scarcity of'potatoes in
the country but there is a greater
scarcity of ''honest'' dollars among
poor people, hence potatoes are
lower than they were a year ago
notwithstanding the greater short
age this year.

& Manly Sentiments.

The editor Of this paperis not a
Catholic, and never attended Cath
Ole religious services more than a
dozen times in his life. He is,
however, an old soldier, and has in
his safe an honorable discharge
from the Union army, received
after the close Of the war. His
opportunity to learn who are the
friends of this government and
who are not has been ample. His
experience and observation have
been such that he is firmly Of the
belief that any organization which
seeks to shut out by any means
from the rights and privileges Of
citizenship the members Of any
church is without vestige of 10y
atty to the government or patriot
ism in it's makeup. That is the
reason he he does not like the A.
T. A., an organization that con-
slsts almost entirely of men who
never bore arms in defense of this
country, and yet stand upon plat
form that would deprive crippled
veteran of the Union army, if he
happened to be of the Catholic re-
ligion, not only of the rights and
privileges of citizenship but of the
daily employment by which he
earns his bread. We declare with
out reserve that such a platform is
outrageous, such an organization
is Infamous, and such principles
are disloyal to the free institutions
of this country.-BraS,,erd Jour-

CONGRESSMAN BLAND proposes
to introduce a free coinage meas.
ure at the commencement of the
regular session. In a recent inter
view he is quoted as saying:
I do not see that the repeal of the
Sherman law has changed the situation
for the better-indeed, it appears
rather to have changed it for the
worse. The truth is-and the people
now thoroughly realize 1.-THE silver
purchase law has had nothing to do
with the hard times. The hard times
came on and they are with us, and they
cannot be waved away by the wand of
any magician, however potent his
charms or however essential his per-
sonality. We have simply got to go
through process of liquidation before
good times can come again, and that
was necessary whether we repealed the
Sherman law or not This panic, like
all other panics, finally reached point
where the people got afraid of the
banks and afraid of each other, and
there has got to be a general liquida-
ton and blotting out and a beginning
anew. The repeal of the Sherman law
will only tend to make foundations
harder for the debtor class of people,
because it contracts the currency and
leaves the business interests of the
country without sufficient volume of
money to supply a growing population
and development Of industries. One of
the greatest mistakes those people
seem to have made about repeal is that
their plan was to promote schemes in
Wall street, bonds and mortgages and
things of that kind. It was supposed
that repeal would do this, because it
was thought that the European capital
would be invested here more readily
by the repeal of the silver purchase
act than by letting it stand. But it
seems that even in that they have been
greatly disappointed. There seems to
be now less confidence in our financial
condition than before. They are send
ing no money here, and continue to
draw away ours. If the gold basis
which we have here now tends to con-
tract currency, it is making the times
harder everywhere. The contraction
of the currency and gold basis will
tend to make a sharp demand for gold
in Europe as well as here, and will in
jure our producers by causing lower
prices for everything we send to Eu-
rope. This also makes lower prices
here, and hence, since the passage of
| the repeal act, wheat and cotton have
gone down in the market instead of
going up.

The Minneapolis Journal is
authority for the statement that
potatoes are deteriorating in quail
ity, and suggests as remedy more
care in the selection of seed and
the introduction of new varieties.
The Journal is right. Farmers
potato-raisers should make it a
point to introduce new varieties.
The Early Everitt, the twin sister
of the Early Ohio, is one of the
best and most profitable Of the
new varieties recently introduced
in this vicinity. They are very
early, yield we'll, splendid eating
potato and good keepers.

HERE is an editorial paragraph
taken from the columns of the
Minneapolis Tribune which the adj
vocates Of the single gold standard
would do we'll to ponder over:
Accordingly, if Japan is to go into
the market for gold, where will she get
it and what will she have to payi
When gold is apparently so scarce and
every civilized country on earth, ex-
cept the United States, is scrambling
for it, how can it retain it's freedom as
a medium of exchange and how can it
avoid the threatened premium? Aus
tria and Russia directly or Indirectly
paid premium on their boards. Be-
fore many more countries go into the
gold market for currency reserves, the
premium threatens to be general.

No Intelligent student of trade and
currency statistics, no Intelligent OBJ
server of the conditions prevailing dur
ing the last few months can doubt that
we have too much money rather than
too little, and that it increases too rap
idly rather than too slowly in proper
ton to the growth of business.-Pio-
7leer Press.
With the Sherman act repealed,
the purchase of silver and issue of
treasury notes stopped, and the
national bank issues during the
past 10 years contracted over
$3.50, 100000, the Tribune can with
difficulty take it's contemporary
seriously when it says that our
currency increases too rapidly
rather than too slowly in proper
ton to the growth of business. :"
Since 1880 the corporate and real
estate mortgage indebtedness of
the United States has increased
from less than $1,000, 100000 to
nearly $4,000, 100000. The real
estate mortgage Indebtedness of
New York alone is over $780,
100000, and during the late CEN
sus decade increased 14s per cent,
while population in that State in
creased only Is per cent. In the
past four years ending Jan. 1,
1890, the aggregate mortgage in
debtedness of five western and
southern states, grouped by the
census department, increased so
per cent. The stock and bonds of
the railroads during the recent de-
cade increased from SIS, 900, 900, 900
to nearly $4,000, 100000. In the
presence of such enormous extern
slons OF credit, not to mention the
country's yearly commercial and
industrial development, our con-
temporary would certainly not
favor a policy of monetary con-
traction. But unless ways and
means be provided to prevent our
national bank currency from be-
coming extinct by the gradual ex-
piration Of our national bonds, or
a substitute currency be provided,
contraction will be the condition
which will confront us until the
last 4 per cent. bond expires in
1905. Nl,aaaeopozls Tribune.
