Forty Dollars for Insulting a Mayor,


During recent election the MAYOR
of suburban Paris township was en-
gagged in looking after the voting tick
cts, when he was insulted in the gross
est manner by local publican, who,
without any previous alteration, cleo
trified the bystanders by suddenly cry

thief, and by adding when they re-
monstrated: Your mayor, indeed,

come off, the defendant said that he
had abused the mayor as a private in

THE GOVERNMENTS LOSS.

Treasury figures show that the sill
yer purchased under the Sherman act
if sold to-day would bring about
500, 900, 900 less than the amount the
government paid for it.
These figures were prepared with
the utmost care and accuracy by a
force of treasury experts. The state
Carlisle and was one of the chief points
discussed at the cabinet meeting which
terminated with the proclamation for
an extra session of Congress. The
president attached great Importance
to this statement, and although he
was thoroughly aware the govern
ment had lost an enormous amount
he was startled by the losses shown.
The opinion seems to be growing
that the president and his chief lieu
tenants can carry the repeal by hard
work
Those who oppose unconditional
repeal of the Sherman law, but favor
the repeal with a free coinage substi-
tute, will be led by Bland of Missouri,
McCreary of Kentucky, Hatch of Mis-
souri,, Bryan Of Nebraska, Newlands
of Nevada and Boatner of Louisiana.
In the Senate probably the ablest
advocate Of the repeal Of the Sherman
law will be Senator Sherman himself.
Senator Voorhees,, when he was put
at the head of the finance committee,
was understood to be in favor of free
coinage, and Senator Vest will now
favor the repeal of the Sherman law,
and it is understood Mr.. Voorhees,
will also.
The free coinage men in the Senate
have very strong leaders, including

: PEARY'S EXPEDITION.

In Boston harbor lies compare
lively small ship, the Falcon, which is
attracting and is likely to attract a
great deal of attention not only in the
United States but throughout the
world. On board the ship are num-
Der of scientists and others, including
two ladies, who are to seek for the
north pole under the guidance of Lieu
tenant Peary, the now world famous
Arctic explorer.
The expedition bears flag divided
diagonally into white and blue Jrian-
giles, the white uppermost with blue
"P'' and the blue with white star
the polar star. When this party sets
out finally it will be upon trip which
will take them from human habitation
for several years and subject them to
hardships and trials which may mea n
death and disaster.
For the coming Arctic night Lieuten
ant Peary and his party will camp
upon the upper coast of Greenland
and the Falcon will leave them to the
fate which all America prays may be
a kind one Then the journey will be
inland and northward in search of the
phantom north pole. Not before next
Nav can this be set out for and the
outside world will not hear of the
success or failure of the expedition
till in the summer of 1895.
With all the inventions of science
the result of this expedition whether
success or disaster can not be guess
&c, but the heroic party have the SYM
pathy of all the world in their endeav
ors to aid science.

The President has felt the necessity
of calling an extra session earlier than
he first determined for the purpose of
doing something to relieve this finan-
cial situation. The call is made to repeal
the silver purchase law, but nobody
knows where the 'swild horses as
Harrison calls them, will go when the
silverites and free traders get togeth-
err. Up till the time when the course
of India precipitated the danger, the
President has seemed to lack conf
dence in his own party but it is expect
ed that enough of his political follow
ers with the aid of the Republicans, will
help him out. 1t must be somewhat
humiliating, SO soon in the course of
his administration, to be obliged to
call on his political enemies to save
the ship. We hope the Republicans
will let partisan matters go and come
to Mr.. Cleveland's help. Somehow
the confidence of the country has been
lost since the tariff reformers came
into power.

sections of the State met at Rutland
July 4th to organize SO called Peo-
Plies party. The Herald gave the pro-
ceedings and represented that the
speeches were varied and cranky. The
only two things on which those pres
ent could fully agree was the advisa-
bility of forming new party and the
free coinage of silver. The following
is the platform:
We demand the free coinage of both
gold and silver at the present ratio of
Is to 1.
We demand that all money he issued
direct from the government to the
people and be full legal tenders.
We demand that municipalities be
given the right to establish, own and
operate gas and electric light plants.
We demand that women be given
the full right of suffrage.
We demand the extension of the
free mail delivery system into the ru-
raj districts.
We demand a graduated income tax.

AN ESTIMATE OF BLoUNT.

The New York Sun has a dispatch
from Washington which says: People
who have long known Mr.. Blount in and
out of congress, Gay he is about the mar
rowest-gauged man that has appeared in
public life in recent years. Persons who
think they see into the meaning of his
selec ion say it was made with perfect
appreciation of Blount and the job given
him. He was selected TO do a certain
thing, and to give his own reason for so
doing. Whether it was Spreck-ls, or the
English guardian of the young woman
WHO has the Hawaiian throne in pros
pect, provided the provisional govern
nlent can be upset, or whether IT was
merely because monarchi~ al ideas in the
abstract prevail with the administration,
matters little; Biount was the very man
for the job. Neither the facts in the
case. diplomatic rules, truth, nor pro.
priety weighed with him."
The people of the Sixth Georgia dis
trict may take the Suns structures as
something of reflection on tllem-he
was elected TO congress from that dis
trict several times, and more than once
without opposition. However, circum-
stances change popular estimates of men
as well as other things. 1t is now given
out that Mr.. Blount has aspirations to
succeed Senator Colquitt or Governor
Northen, but the more liberal Georgians
say that his Hawaiian brief has made it
for him to obtain further
political horrors in their state. 1t ought
to he so. to the states credit.

The failure OF the Blaine monument
enterprise in Maine is not so much of
a surprise when we come to think of the
failure of similar undertakings in other
states in behalf of the memory of other
statesmen, patriots and soldiers. The
point was illustrated in the unwilling
of the statue OF General James Shields
IN the national capitol the past week.
That illustrions citizen and pride of sew
eral states was dead a decade before
even that modest tribute was set up to
his memory. The case of New York
city and the Grant monument is another
and still more conspicuous example of
the waiting disposition of the American
people in the matter of honoring in
bronze or marble their heroes and
champions in life. But the memory of
James G. Blaine will not fade away
even though his image shall never be
chiseled in substance.

Goodland, out in Sherman county, ha

Goodland, out in Sherman county, has
been declared by the governor city of
the second class. Goodland is in the
midst of what is commonly called the
arid region. No more complete refuta-
ton of the damaging statements that are
given out periodically in regard to the
alleged barrenness and unprodEctlveness
of the country is needed than the exist
ence of such towns in its midst. Towns
and cities do not grow up and flourish
without substantial backing from the
surrounding country, particularly in a
purely agricultural section. In this esti-
mate there is no intention to discount
the enterprise and push of the business
men of a community: their presence
ard continuity of purpose in such towns
as Sherman county's metropolis are ad-
proofs Of the resourcefulness Of
the tributary territory. And Sherman
is not conspicuous exception among
the counties of western Kansos: it is
good fair average.

The determination of the Democrats

The determination of the Democrats
in congress to continue the sugar bounty
for eight years is glazing disregard for
the constitution, else it is gross snub
to the opinions of some of the biggest
men in their party along that line. Il
will be remembered that shortly after
the present law went into effect Cover
nor Hogg of Texas refused to permit
that state to apply for or receive the
amount due it from the government on
the product of its sugar farms and mills,
on the ground that the bounty law was
unconstitutional. If it was at that time
it is now, and will continue to be, and if
SO at the present rate it will be equally
SO with the rate reduced and fixed upon
a downward-sliding scale.
