He voted against the m. conditional repeal of the sherman law, he voted for the repeal of the, odlous election law, he voted for the bill to coin the seignorage, he voted, for the income tax law, and held on. to the last for the original Wilson tariff bill, What more can. any one in this great commonwealth ask or, expect.

IT is highly probable that the tariff question will not enter lareely into future campaigns, though We by no means wish to be understood as saying that this great science has been settled. Incidentally the democratic party. if kept in power, will go on to improve and perfect our tariff laws until we shall have little or no complaint to make upon that score. The great question now before the people, and in which they are more deeply interest ed than they have ever been in any other, is the problem of finance, and especially the free and unlimited coinage of silver. Ihree-fourths. or more of the people in this section, and we think the whole South and West regardless of party utilization. favor the free coinage of silver. The adyo- cates of the single lgoldD standard have but one Teal argument (that of foreign balances) which is in the least entitled to respect. The fact that t1ey resort to calling democrats populists who advocate the coinage of silver, makes them no new converts, and fails ignominiously to frighten even the most timid. The people have felt the oppressive heel of the single appre- ciating standard and, while they may not fully understand the science of finance, they are willing to try silver as panacea. And they will try it.

SPEAKING of county fairs. the, Hell ena World very truly says that there is nothing that tends to increase the interest in good stock breeding and improved agricultural pursuits as the county fair. It increases the zeal of the farmer to undertake to do little better than his neigLbor. and the result is the best of everything or nothing" St Francis county should have sgch a fairs.

IN the course of an interview with a Commercial Appeal reporter. MT. Embry, Holmes. who has been spend ing some. tune in Nicaragua, makes the following significant statement ''Nic- aragua, being on a silver basis, has not suffered from the panic that has devas- tated gold basis countries, The prices O. their products have remained stationary, and their silver sol or dol lar, has ths same purchasing and debt paying power, so that everything has gone along smoothly with them" Yet our goldbug friends would have ns be- lieye. that if ,,h;s ,cnnntry should get on a. silver basis that all the evils which has happened since the foundation of the government would not be a circum- stance to the ruin which would, ensue. And yet silver trapsaets all the busi- ness of the country, today, and the general bankrupty which seems ineyit- able is brought about by having one money for the people and a Scarcer and consequently more valuable one for the banks Mississippi County Democrat

EVERY CHILD SHOULD AT
 TEND SCHOOL.

Among the lnLelllgenL IAmiiIco Ot Rogers, l suppose it is not necessary to give reasons why their children should attend school and become ed ucated. But people sometimes become so engrossed with their daily tolls that they forget the necessity Of develop ing the soul. Although the educated person receives higher wages in all Oc- equations, yet this minor cOnsidera. tion. The educated man has more chances for true success. He is able tO enjoy more refined society. He looks at nature with open eyes, he sees beauty and design in all creation, he studies to be useful, he strives tO be industrious. and help in every way to make the world better. The educated person is more unselfish, more mag unanimous and consequently happier. Life to him is great privilege and an
 unbounded joy. He wishes we'll to all and lives for others. He believes that
 God does everything for good.
 l A school of kindred spirits and like ambitions sharpens our activities. We are encouraged to do our best. We learn the motives of our fellow pupils and students and the higher qualities in us will be improved by the higher qualities ill others. A taste for the best literature is developed. and the mind learns to deal with the true and pure. For the enlightened mind life has newer charms, endless uses, and higher spiritual enjoyment. To the healthy normal person there are no real drawbacks to obtaining an education. Timid and modest people sometimes stay away from school. yet it is fact that all people admire them tar more than those who are undnly bold. The great men. have been timid been and theiy, timidity has extended through d long and useful life. Timidlty is many times sign of true worth. It may be easily overcome when the cause which we are, working is for good. Being behind in school is the best argu- ment for attending school. The learner is always respected. The effort it takes to catch up produces a great amount of strength and excellent working habits. In the public school pupils will be. treated alikss-all will be known as boys and girls seeking wisdom. It makes no difference hqw.fa you are behind. if you are. tending in the right dIrection Where you stand is not im- portant. but the direction in which you look decides your fate.
 Some of the best pupils in school have been very show~to learn. A slow learner is not hopeless. Sure shpwuess is sign of permapence and c0ntipua- tion The true teacher is never dis couraged on account ot slowuess, for he knows 1t is one of the incentives to in- dusuy. You cannot, change your nature, neither is 1t desirable. It is not, quickness that wins. X right movement counts. What we wart is not the distance traveled over, but the dmectiqn m which to go. The highest aim of education being to make good men aud good womPn. we ask and expect the hearty cooperation of the good people of Rogers in making this a grand. lgood year--F.' R..

Mr.. Mcrrell.s Unpopular Discourse.

ROCK ISLAND, MAY 3O.-Editor
ARGUs:-The vituperative remarks OF
local clergyman should be beneath
the serious notice of a member of a
christian church, but when a minis
ter of the gospel introduces his petty
preludices in ceremonial sacred to
the memory of federal soldiers who
died for their country, it is high time
for someone to call. halt!
Rev. +. w. Merrell is responsible
for some of the most bigoted remarks
that were ever uttered by a clergy
man from christian pulpit. We
fear he is not posted on the history
of the society of Jesuits as he should
be before going into this subject.

Yesterdays Game.
1t was truly hitting that won yes
terday's game for Omaha. For six
innings it was Rock Islands game,
but the tide turned, and defeat shook
hands with the boys. The attend
ance was fair and the day a nice
| warm one.
Sweeney went out at first on hit
to second, Cantillion got q base on
balls, Katz struck out, Hill got hit
in right field, and Cantillion came
home. Hill stole second, and was
advanced to third by Zeis' hit. Hill
was caught little later off third.
For Omaha, Seery got to first on a
hit, Munyan knocked fly to Cantil-
lion, who caught it and doubled
Seery. McVey flew out to Sweeney.
| In the second Connors flew out IN
left, Sage got 4 base on balls. and
.Patrichias" Lynch got nice hit in
left. Sonier sacrificed down the first
base line and advanced Sage and
Lynch each base. Sweeney
got base on balls. Joe Cantillion
came to the bat and the second ball
pitched up Moran let pass him and
it went toward the bleachers. and
with the assistance of Whitehill's
error, Sage, Lynch and Sweeney
scored. Cantillion got his base on
balls, and Katz flew out in center
field. For Omaha cipher was rolled.
In the third Rock Island failed
to get one, but for Omaha it was diff
ferent. Whitehill hit the ball over
the right field fence for two bases.
and Seery got a base on balls. Jack
Munyan struck out and McVey few
out to Lynch. Fear was given a
base on balls, and Rourke hit to
Lynch, whose error allowed White
hill to score. Moran hit hot ground
er to Connors, and he fumbled it. al
lowing Seery and Fear to come home.
Pedros flew out to Sweeney, and put
a damper on the fun. Rock Island
made one in the fourth and one in
the fifth, and then they went on a
strike and made no more scores. Not
so with the Omahas. In the seventh
they punched out three runs, and
four in the eighth. The score is
appended:

BEAT BAKE BAD.
The DESERVING Pitcher knocked Out of the
Box-Rock Island Loses and Wins.

The home team lost yesterday to
Omaha, but won this morning, Civ
ing the visitors a thorough drubbing
and knocking Baxcndale out of the
box in the fourth inning. Andrews
pitched the game of his life for Rock
Island, but three hits being made off
his delivery, and Zeis supported him
behind the bat splendidly. 1t is
gratifying to know that Andrews
luck has changed, for he has been
winning games right along that
were in the face of his work lost
through the mere force of circum-
stances. The '.dOctor" has found
his mascot, undoubtedly. A feature
was the fact that only % went to the
bat for Omaha. 1t is source of sat
isfaction to find that BaXendale, who
deserted the Twin-City team two
years ago after Sage had made him
all that he was in the pitchers box,
has not improved so much that local
admirers of the game need shed
any tears over the fact that he is not
on the team this year. The home
club went at him this morning in a
manner that had tendency to show
that they have no particular fond
ness for the Baxendale stripe of ball
players. BY previous agreement
only seven innings were PLAYED this
morning, and they resulted:

DID ITS WORK WELL.
Yesterdays Democratic County Conven-
tion.


convention was one of the best
organized and best managed ever
held in the county. Mayor Medill
proved an admirable executive officer.
and the expeditions manner in which
the work was put through without
friction or discord was a creditable
evidence of his ability.
The outcome of the convention left
no bitterness or feeling, as did the
result of the republican convention
held the previous week. The major
ity ruled in all things, the only diff
ference OF sentiment being on the
propriety of favoring the nomination
OF a candidate for United States SEN
ator in the state convention, and on
this point the preponderance of senti-
ment opposed to giving any express
sion was overwhelming. The prin-
cipies enunciated in the platform of
resolutions were timely and prop
er. There is marked difference
indeed, in which the resolution con-
demning the prescription as to creed
in politics Jared in the hands of the
democratic convention and the way
practically the same resolution sub
mitted by DR.. Truesdale in the re-
publican convention was hushed.
The compliment paid to Hon. Ben L.
Cable by his home county which
seized the opportunity thus to for
mally present his name as candi-
date for United States senator from
the great state of Illinois is fully
merited and the act is as graceful as
it is betting.
The logic and cloquence displayed
by Messrs. l.. c. Banding and NJ j.
McEniry on the floor of the conven-
ton in support of the proper applica-
ton of parliamentary law. were fea-
lures of the proceedings, convincing
in their character. and thus obviating
any possible chance for exception to
the chairs rulings.
The Candidates.
The candidates nominated for the
various county offices are all repre-
sentative, old-time democrats, party
workers and popular citizens of the
county. They will each and all 90
into the canvass with vim and a
purpose to win that will carry the
day next November.
