On account of the removal and of the

possibility that no school will be taught

c. P. Viland and family who have
been visiting up in Frontier county for a
week or ten days. returned to the city,
first of the week Mr. Viland reports
the smallpox scare in that section as
rapidly disappearing. That the rigid
quarantine established by the McCook
authorities of even suspected cases has
had most reassuring effect among the
people up there, some ofthe farmers go
ing so far as to state that they would
feel safer in McCook now, where quaran-
tine is being carefully maintained, than
they do in the country where such regu-
lations cannot well be enforced. Mr..
Viland states that confidence has been
restored and that trade will soon return
to its accustomed channels. This is to
be devoutly wished for, as our merchants
have already been large losers on ac-
count of the unnecessary scare caused by
senseless and outrageous rnisrepresenta-
tons of the smallpox epidemic in OUT
city.
One of the easiest ways to make people
go abroad to trade is to neglect adver-
tising at home. Merchants who don't
believe that advertising pays should be
the last to complain if the people, being
attracted by liberal advertisements of
merchants in other cities, go abroad to
do their trading. AS general thing
most of the people who send abroad for
goods do so because of the bargains that
are offered in the city papers, or be-
cause they see things advertised that
they think the local merchants do not
keep. If the local merchants would
make business of thoroughly advertis-
ing the goods they handle and their
prices, much of this trade would be
kept at home. The merchant who keeps
not the people informed that he will sell
at reasonable prices has no cause to COM
plain of his customers sending to the
cities for their goods. Staple goods may
sell without advertising, but specialties
! must be thoroughly advertised

And then see the Democratic fraud:

"We hold to the use of both gold
and silver as the sta ndard money Of
the country; and to the coinage of
dttng against either metal, or charge for
mfntage."
This is bimetallism, pure and SIM
pie. But here comes their rascallY
proviso:
"But the dollar unit of coinage of
both metals must be of equal intrinsic
and exchangeable value, or be adjusted
through International agreement, or by
such legislation" etc.
That is to say,-they are in favor Of
bi-metallism if John Bull and the
Rothschilds have no objection!

Cases Continued Under
Misrepresentation.

Judge Wilson of the Omaha road,
and Robert Evans, Of Minneapolis.
were before Judge Williams in the
United States circuit this morning
discussing the matter of the time for
hearing three suits in equity now
pending in the court, one against the
ST. Paul & Sioux City, and two against
the Winona & St. Peter road.
Judge Wilson, as counsel for the
Omaha road, which is interested, said
that the cases ought to be heard at
once and that he had not agreed to
the continuance until the 10Th.
The court found that the cOntinu-
ance had been granted under a misap-
pre- hensiOn and ordered the clerk of
the court to telegraph at once for Mr..
Tawney, now in Washington, he being
one of the counsel in the case. The
United States is the plaintiff in each
OF the three cases and seeks to set aside
the certitication Of certain lands to
these companies on the ground that it
was Improperly granted, and to restore
title in the United States. Judge
Wilson said this morning that the ac-
tion directly affected 10000 or $4,000
acres OF land and indirectly affected
much more.

While today national banks are fur

they certainly would avail themselves
of the power if heavy gold expectations
