The Fulton Sun, speaking in ref
erence to the postponed indefinite
ly" Post-ofice primary at Clarks-
vile, Mo-, says:
The election advertised to select a
postmaster at Clarksville, Mo-, by
allowing all patrons of the Office to
vote has been postponed indefinitely.
Sensible conclusion. Are the Dem
ocrats afraid to leave the selection to
their Congressman or Senators? Or
are they anxious for minority man
to be named for the place? The way
to vote for postmaster is to keep
holding elections until only two men
sre in the race, then the majority
man will get the plum. Better still
is to allow the Congressman to con-
cult with the representative Demo-
Gratis and take their advice in regard
to who shall occupy the offices. The
Congressman take this respo ,sibil-
ity on them when they ask for and
are chosen for their office. The peo-
pie have grown too kind, all of a
sudden, with instructing the Sena-
tors how to vote and holding elec-
tions for postmasters. This election
business is simply agitated to curry
favor with q class that have caused
trouble and will continue to cause it.

Questions and Answers.

When and by whom was the first
silver and gold coin issued in the
United States? R. P.
The first silver coin of the United
States was five-oent piece, author
lied BY act of congress April2, 1892,
and issued in the same year. The
first gold coin was the eagle; it was
authorized by the same act, but was
not struck until 1894. But within
the present limits of the United
States gold and silver coins had
been struck long before that time.
Coins were struck in England to be
used in Virginia as far back as 1912.
The famous "Pine tree" shillings
and sixpences were struck in Mas
sachusetts.
1. What is meant by "peanut pol.
itics? 2. Were the electoral votes
of any States thrown out in the
election of 1857 If so, which were
they7 8. How is the financial
condition of the United States and
its national debt as compared with
thegreat European powers. C. o. r.
1. By peanut politics we under
stand a kind of politics which de.
scends to low level, and contends fol
very small matters. 2. No; but
some States were counted for the
wrong man. The votes of the coun-
ties or precincts in Louisiana and
Florida were thrown out, enough to
make an apparant majority for the
Republican electors. 8. The debt
Of the United States per capita is
less than that Of most of the great
nations of Europe.

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 25.-The

House organization in favor of the
Republicans. The opinion was
delivered by Chief Justice Horton.
Judge Allen, Populist, dissented.
The Court consists of two Republi-
cans and one Populist. It is feared
the Populists will not be inclined to
obey the decision.
The decision was awaited with
breathless anxiety by both sides land
as Judge Allen had conceded with
the Republican Justices on nearly
all minor questions Ihat arose dur
ing the trial of the test case, the Re-
publicans were hopeful that the de-
cision would be the unanimous ex-
preston of the Court.

INFERIOR GOODS,

The only safe way for purchasers Ii
to insist ON having the genuine article
and not allow themselves to be swim
died by having plasters said to be "Just
as good" or containing superior In

are only tricks to sell inferior goods
that no more compare with Allcock's
Porous Plasters than copper does with
gold. One trial OF Allcock's Porous
Plasters will convince the most skep'
tical of their merits.
