Miss Katie Schuck, the sixteen year old
daughter of Max Schuck, proprietor OF

THE SENATE SHOULD VOTE.

Another week has passed, and still
the senate is talking. The vote when
taken will undoubtedly be for the I'M
conditional repeal of the Sherman law,
conservative estimates having given
that side the majority. For two weeks
the eyes of the nation have been on the
senate, and cries of ssvote!" have come
from every section of this fair land,
but still the battle of words is going on.
Why delayP
There is not a shadow of excuse for
it now. Men elected for their intelli-
gence, liberal ideas, and honor, cannot
be moved by sswhisperings of the
wind" Delay and debate will be det-
rimental to the interests in whose
behalf they are made. The battle is
practically fought, and the decree has
gone forth that republican legislation
on silver must be taken from the stat
ute books; not that silver shall be de-
monetized.
W. may disagree with the verdict,
but sit is inevitable" so let it come.
While we can see no reason why our
silver advocates, who voted for repeal,
objected to a free coinage amendment,
yet we are aware that s'learned men"
have their e~ccentricities, and to that
extent, must be humored. Votes, and
not speeches, are what is needed, and if
the verdict be for repeal, as it will be,
then let's go to work with renewed
zeal and wage the battle for free coin
age until victory is assured. 1t is the
duty of every democrat in the senate
to hasten the vote. The time that is
now spent in speech-making is only
time lost for the great bait lie for honest
money. The vote shall not daunt us.
Seeming defeat shall not compel us to
lay down our arms, oil exhaust our
supplies. The principles of the party
have laid down a rule of action. Delay
may affect them for q time, but those
principles are as SUR to be triumphant
as the night follows the day. When
the people speak, their mandate must
be needed. They have urged the bat
tie, and made ''free coinage and
''tariff REFORM their battle cry, and
victory shall be theirs. Our greatest
men are those who have risen to ex-
allied positions by ~surmounting obsta-
Giles on their way. Let the defeat the
Vest and Bland cohorts have sustained,
urge them on to the achievement of
greater victories. They have sustained
a partial defeat, but the odds were
against them. With the Sherman bill
out of the way, they have a clear field,
with right and the people on their side,

SILVER MEETING.

There will be a meeting of the free
coinage democrats of Lafayette county,
at the court house, in this city, next
Monday. 1t is earnestly hoped thai
every advocate of financial principles
as %enunciated by democracy, will be
on hand to give expression to his SEN
timents. The financial question has
arisen for permanent solution. All
three of the political parties are diyid-
ed on the subject, and the fight, which
will be a hard one, has hardly begun.
A loyal citizen must perform duties
which are we'll defined and all-impor-
tant. He must educate himself in the
affairs of government, and then raise
his voice as to the proper solution of
governmental issues. A government
by the people becomes a failure, when
its citizens become negligent of their
duty. The ballot box is the safeguard
of republican institutions, and when
guided by selfish motives, domineered
by ~ssso-called'' leaders, or else neg
lected for want of interest, it becomes
an evil factor. Our institutions are
broad and liberal, and grant the same
privileges to the pauper in his hut,
that they do to the e'money king in
his castle. Some men are gifted with
powers of e~loquence, others are s'slow
of Speech" but both have equal rights
in the administration of laws under
our republican form of government.
Let every democrat in this broad
land of III be heard, let the decree of
a united people go forth, and finances
regulated in accord with their wishes.
Democrats be on hand Monday. Let
no ordinary affair detain you. This is
not a time for you to consult your
pleasure, but your duty. If you would
not have a few plutocrats, following
the example of the imperial govern
ments of Europe, dictate your finan-
cial policies, enter your protest. Your
influence will not be universal, but
your voice will be one more added to
that great throng. Your vote could
not elect an officer, but it can be made
and aiding factor.

LOVE FOR MOTHER.

OF all the love affairs in the world,
none can surpass the true love of a
young man for his mother. 1t is pure
and noble, honorable in the highest
degree to both. We do not mean
merely a dntiful affection; we mean a
love that makes a boy gallant and
courteous to his mother, saying to
everybody plainly that he is deeply in
love with her. Next to the love of a
husband, nothing so crowns a woman's
life with honor as this second love, this
devotion of a son to her. We never
yet knew y boy to turn out badly who
began by falling IN love with his
mother. Any man may fall in love
with a fresh-faced girl, and the man
who is gallant with the girl may
cruelty neglect his worn and weary
wife, but the boy who is the lover OF
his mother in her middle age, is a true
knight, and he will love his wife as
much in her sere-leafed autumn as he
did when the blush of youth was on her
cheek and the sparkle of healthful
vigor was in her eyes. Remember the
words of a poet: "The boy who
kisses his mother, is every inch a
man.

WILLIAM Il. GLADSTONE.

William Evarts Gladstone after seven
wears of hard work and craftsmanship
has lived to see his home rule bill pass
the house of commons by n good
majority. The prime minister fur
nishes an example of integrity, persist
ency and steadfastncss of purpose that
should he emulated by the statesmen
of the world. At the age of 81 this
grand old man is seen on the floor and
in lobby, working, as one younger iii
years, for the cause he deems to be
just. Defeat only stimulates him TO
the achievement of greater victories.
Many statesmen have risen, fallen and
are forgotten because they lacked the
courage to surmount obstacles in their
political career. This was not true of
Gladstone, who IN the face of over
whelming opposition, has spent his life
in the cause of freedom. The passage
of this bill was the browning chapter
in the biography of the prime minister.
1t might have been thought the great
est name connected with lreland's free
dom would have been that of an Irish
man., but such was not the case. Glad
stone is an Englishman, and for this
deserves all the more praise at the
hands of Ireland. As for the fight in
the house of commons it is ended, and
the champion of home rule Is the vic
tor. The bill will go to the house OF
lords, where it will be handled on its
merits. The lower house has sent
forth the decree and itaIs hoped that
its mandate will be obeyed. As to
whether this will be done o 70 is en-
tirely a matter of conjecture.

Our Public Schools.


The Lexington public schools were
opened on Monday, and every grade was
well represented.
In the second ward, first grade, taught
by Miss Marshall, there were fifty en-
rolled Thursday. In the second grade
there were lifty-three; in the third
grade, forty-iiye in the fourth grade,
forty-One. The second, third and fourth
grades are taught by Misses Allen and
Speers, each taking one and a half
grades.
In the third ward Miss Matte Grimes
teaches the first and second grades.
There are enrolled in the first grade, 81 :;
second grade, %. The third and fourth
grades are taught by Miss Kate Gordon.
The third grade has 2G, aud the fourth
has II.
In the grammar school, taught by
Misses Hale n Smith, there are, in the
fifth grade, 81; sixth grade, SO; seventh
grade, 26.
In the High school second year, taught
by Miss Arnold, there are thirty enroll
ed third year, taught by Miss Shaw,
fifteen enrolled fourth year, taught by
Prof. Demand, twenty enrolled. Last
year the school board added one year to
the ward departments, making seven
years in the ward schools instead of six,
as heretofore, and consequently there
were no transfers from the ward schools
to the High school, and there will be no
first year course in the High school this
year. Four years from now there may
not be any graduating class.
In the colored schools there are four
teachers, and an enrolment of 225
pupils.
The new school will not be ready
before the first of October. Some of the
school rooms are already full, and pupils
are coming in every day. Every seat in
Miss Speers' Dom is occupied, and the
new building is needed to relieve the
pressure.
While the second ward school is some
what crowded, the building is splendidly
adapted to taking are of crowds. 1t is
modern in every respect, with large halls,
cloak rooms, closets, and perfect venti-
lation, and is kept as clean as a new pin.

.syest ON Jefferson

To the Editor of the Intelligencer.
The News, of this city, publishes this
week, without comment, a clipping
from the New York Post, headed ''Vest
on Jefferson:
Senator Vest, in the character of q
fast trotter, which he so much affects.
says in his speech on the silver question:
1T is a favorite expression now to talk
of the silver lunacy.' Mr.. President, |
am willing to follow that great %lunatic,
Thomas Jefferson, on this question:
This shows again how necessary it is
for a fast trotting senator to know the
history of the subject that he is talking
about. There are few events in our
monetary history better known than the
fact that Thomas Jefferson, when pre-
sident of the United States, in the year
1905, gave a peremptory order to the
mint to stop coming silver dollars, and
that this order remained in force until
1886, although Jefferson had long ceased
to be president and had long been dead"
The inference sought to be made, if
not stated as a fact, is that Jefferson was
against silver coinage. The News doubt
less so believes, and is eXcusable the
Post knows better, and it only shows
what the enemies of democratic princi-
Piles will resort to-direct deception.
Jefferson against silver!" The story
is absurd. No president, MI. Jefferson
or anyone else, al order silver to be
coined, or stop the coinage. Congress
olny has power to coin money. Besides
ol5 oo;nc ora cooroa avaru parcnp
has doubtless seen coins bearing dates
between 1903 and 1886. The facts are
well known to every novice in political
history. The act of congress, provid-
ing for the coinage of silver, did not re-
luire so much bullion to be coined into
any particular coins. AS further stated
in the article, silver vas driving out
gold, i. e., small gold coins. 1t was not
then regarded as cheap money.
Mr.. jefferson ordered the coinage of
SILVER dollars" to stop, and they were
not until 1886, but, my impress
sion is, to a much later date and, as a
BOY, | do not recall ver having seen
before the war, a silver dollar. But
Inder Jefferson and any other democrat
C president, the coinage of silver went
,n--''free and unlimited"-intO half dol
ars, quarters, ten and five cent pieces.
Papers publishing such deception as
he above, must place Il low estimate on
he intelligence of the people, on be
amentably ignorant themselves.
