THE WEATHER TO BLAME.
Poor Prospects for Enjoying Easter Flowers and
Eggs.

Under existing conditions of snow.
ice, blizzard, cloud and frost there is a
poor prospects for a full or even an
ordinary supply of Easter flowers. The
great festival will occur early in April !,
which, by some people, is regarded as
harbinger of an early approach of
spring. Nevertheless it is not an en-
couragement this year, as conditions
are now of character to make all of
March wintry, and as Easter Sunday
falls on April 2, winter has prospect
of reigning until then. In addition to
a lack of flowers produced by cold and
snow, there will also be deficiency of
eggs for Easter uses, the result of like
causes, because hens will not lay when
the weather is at or near the zero reg
lister.

licans OF this county. w. Il. Edwards,
president of the Board of Education Of
Cabin Creek district, received letter
from an agent of q school supply COM
pany who was selling physiological

president of the Board OF Education ten
dollars for every chart purchased by the

a PEIMARY LEssON IN CURRENCY

A PRIMARY LESSON IN CURRENCY.
''The last blow dealt the white metal
was the Sherman act says the REGISTER.
If the Sherman act was death Olow 10
silver, what are the silver States opposing
its repeal fora The REGISTER IS talking
through its hat Indulgence.
II theesteemed Iatelljgeaccrt is sincere,
and not simply laboring to DO smart, 3"
it will have large fund of misin-
formation 10 dispose Of before II will ar
rive at even a school boy understanding
of the relation Of the Sherman act to
free silver coinage and the present cur
rency situation, together with the de-
sires of the silver miners.
To give the THtsutgencer primary
lesson on the subject, there are, to be-
gin with, four distinct sides TO the pres
ent controversy. Ga the first are the
advocates Of free coinage at the present
ratio; on the second, the silver miners
whose Immediate object at this june
ture Is to dispose OF the product Of their
mines; on the third, the JOHN SHERMAN
school Of goldbuZs who are the shrewd
and inyeteraJe enemies Ofsiiyer; and on
the fourth and last side are the advo-
Gates Of bimetaic currency as pro-
vided for In the Constitution Of the
United States currency of gold and
silver OF equal and interchangeable
value.
In this four cornered fight the silver
miners Of the West, looking out for the
immediate advantage Of No. /, oppose
the unconditional repeal Of the Sher-
man act because it would leave them
without the sure market which that
measure provides by forcing the gov
eminent TO purchase their product
whether the Treasury needs II or not.
Though the sherman act is a blow at
silver below the belt and has done more
than any other measure to depreciste
she white metal and debase our cur
rency, the silver miners, looking out,
as we have said, for No. 1, oppose its
repeal, though should repeal be defeat
ed they would ultimately be among the
greatest sufferers, for the continued en-
forced purchase Of silver by the govern
ment, to be paid for in gold would not
only precipitate the financial panic
which we have escaped only through
the wisdom OF President CLEVELAND
and the caution Of Secretary CARLISLE,
but would so depreciate our silver cur
rency that the country would soon rush
headlong to the single gold standard
for relief
These aye the primary facts Of
the currency situation with which
the Intsll8cnccr should acquaint
itself before making criticism on the
subject or attempting to discuss it.
