The Valentine Social.

Last Tuesday evening basket social
was held at the Court House in the court
room. The young ladies of the Presby-
terrain church furnished the baskets,
while the young gentleman furnished
the money, which is to be devoted to the
poor of Ford county.
There was scarcity of people, so Mrs.
A. II. Hudson suggested that some one
open court and have mock trial. Miss
Elsie Baird was appointed Judge. but
resigned in favor Of Lloyd Evans. RObt.
Rath was appointed court stenographer;
Danial French. county attorney; Elsie
Baird, department attorney; Henry
Ellis was sheriff. with Waldo TarbOx jr.
deputy.
The prisoner. Miss G. Kelsey, charged
with larceny, was honorabIy acquitted
for want of evidence.
Miss Eva Henkle was next brought
forward charged with perjury. The de-
PENDANT again won a victory and the fair
prisoner was acquitted.
Judge Evans here resigned in favor of
d. French. Court was then adjourned
until Feb. 18th 81.
Miss Elsie Baird was then called on by
J. H. Churchill for reading. She read
.sThe Origin of st. Valentines Day to
which she did ample justice, and was
appiauded by all.
j. H. Churchill then began the auc-
ton. The baskets went off rapidly.
The highest was sl.OO, bought by Harry
Markley, belonging to Miss Clara Hud-
son. Ed Thome the groceryman, being
very hungry. bid in sumptuOus looking
basket, supposed to be the prize of the
occasion. On unfolding the dainty lin
en- napkins which were presumed to pro-
tect all the delicaies of the season from
the covetuous gaze of the feasters, it was
found to contain only empty dishes.
Mr.. Thome would not stand this sort of
work, but cracked away and bought two
more baskets. This time he was not
disappointed, as they both were filled
with ample quantities of nourishment,
which he proceeded to place where they
would do the most good.
The entertainment was most enjoy
able affair throughout, and everybody
present evidently had good time.

! New York papers are abusing Mayor
HARRISON of Chicago because ne is re-
ported to have said: ssIf Congress does
not give us plenty of money we will have
riots that will shake the country They
want "bit and bride put on him, - think
his words are eft only for the leader of a
mob, (" and predict damage to the World S
Fair because OF This threat that 200, coo
men are likely to rise in Chicago and sack
it,
How easy it is to find fault and scold!
CARTER HARRISON made no threat, said
nothing intiammatory, and did but his
duty in warning the national legislature
as to consequences that may arise from q
failure to relieve the financial situation.
There is nothing in-his words to warrant
the statement that he is stincendiary'' or
''buffoon, as the goldite organs desig-
nate him. He simply stated the situa-
ton.
! Think OF two hundred thousand men
out Of employment in the Worlds fair
city, They are an army. Their ranks
have been largely recruited from the min
ing regions of the west, where thousands
of men have been turned out OF work
through the disaster that has come to the
silver interest. These men and their
families are in dire distress. Their con-
dition is q menace to the public peace.
Something must be done to alleviate their
condition. The remedy lies with Con-
gress. Let justice be done to silver,
restore the white metal to its money
status at some reasonable ratio with gold.
and the mining camps of the western
states and territories will give employ
ment again to the thousands who are now
on the verge of starvation, and every in
dustrial interest in the country will be
revived.
Mayor HARRISON ought not to be
reviled for presenting these facts in sharp
terms. The goldite papers OF the east
ought not to be so rabid in their detesta-
ton OF silver, as to abuse the man for
pointing out danger, disagreeabIe to
them as the truth may be.
This labor trouble is not the great
argument in favor of the RECOMMENDATION
of silver. That rests on broader ground.
1t is for the welfare or the whole nation,
and that of course is of greater moment
than the distress OF a comparatively few
people among the many millions of the
country's population. But it is only
right that this phase of the question should
be brought face to face with Congress and
that the goldites may know that the
necessity for more money is great and
pressing.
We are not endorsing al the methods
of the Mayor of Chicago, but we merely
desire to point out the fact that the con-
dition of affairs which he refers to is
reality existing in many more cities be-
sides Chicago, and that unless something
is done to improve it all the evils he
anticipates and many more are likely to
make this country tremble from the
western to the eastern sea.

For our part we think the president
was wise in restricting himself rigidly to
recommending the stoppage of silver pur-
chase, and to urging the argument for il.
lie deserves credit for not yielding to any
compromise, and he displayed sagacity in
not raising side issues. If he had made
further proposals, he would have opened

would have swamped the immediate anc

KEEP TO THE MAIN ISSUE.

1t is to be hoped that the friends of
silver in Congress will not permit the
several schemes and side issues that are
being sprung to stand in the way OF the
main issue. that is, the establishment OF
free coinage at an agreed ratio and the
abolition OF the Sherman makeshift.
That is the absorbing and all-important
object OF universal interest.
The other measures may be considered
on their merits in good time. Il is all
right to introduce and refer them while
the various factions are coming together.
But they must not hinder the consumma-
ton so devoutlv to be wished.

The following proposition has been
