ANOTHER SOLDIER FALLEN.

The greatest labor paper ever is
sued was John Swinton's paper. 1t
per'shed for lack Of patronage. In
1892 The New Forum was started at
ST. Louis. 1t was splendid paper
but died for lack Of support. In 1893
The Vanguard of Chicago, the best
OF the reform paper was forced to
suspend. The Cincinnati Herald
which l always read through also
went unler. Now the Virginia Sun,
the organ of the Farmers Alliance of
Virginia and West Virginia and the
people party of those two states, has
suspended for lack of support. This
was one of our best papers, ranking
as one Of the best ten among all the
reform press.
The old party papers often get en-
ough in county printing to pay for
running a paper. The people pay this
in taxes. RefOrmers must see to it
that their papers are supported. They
must get subscribers for them or they
must see many others 90 down which
they must surely do if expected to
succeed unaided by those interest they
are cOnductej.-Pcninsular Farmer.

now foolish is the thought on the
part of republican silverites that their
party will eventually restore silver to
Its old-time position. What evidence
is there fol this hope? What action
has the 6. 0. p. taken that justifies such
a belief? What says the party's record
ON the question? Here it IS. Let it
speak for itself: Demonetized silver
in 1873; defeated a coinage bill two
years later; defeated the Bland free
coinage bill and passed compromise
measure in 1873; defeated q coinage
bill in the house in 1886; guilty of
same action in 1898; forced, as CON-
promise measure, the Sherman law of
1890; defeated, IN the house, a coin.
age bill in 1882; voted, in the house,
almost solidly to repeal the Sherman
purchasing clause; aided in defeating
The seigniorage bill. Gloriods record!
Such evidence of friendly feeling fol
silver should fill every free coinage
republican with JOY. There is yet hope
for him, he is told by republican lead
ers. Tom Reed tells HIM so; SO does

BICYCLE VERSUS Horse.
An Interesting Race to Moutrose
and Return.

The sporting blood of our citizens will
be at fever heat tomorrow over race to
Montrose and return, between horse
and bicycle. The race was at first to
have been only one way, but some slight
misunderstanding led to an agreement
for round trip race.
The race will be from the Delta
County Bank in Delta TO the Bank Of
Montrese in Montroee and return i'm
mediately. the distance being about
fifty miles.
Charley Updegraf will ride Cleve
land bicycle and Clarence Mower one Of
his horses, not however the mare he con-
templated entering in former race.
They will leave at o'clock Thursday
morning. and are expected back about
1870.
Walt Wagner will act as starter, and
Ed. Haley and c. D. johnson as judges.
Messrs. Amsbary. Twitchell and Marshal
Hall will act at the turning point in
Montrose.
Should the rider win. he is to receive
a new Cleveland bicycle; il the horse
wins. Mr.. Mower receives sl00 in cash.
Much speculation is made as TO the
outcome. and it will afford good test OF
the relative endurance of horse and man.
and an illustration of the many improve
ments made in the making Of bicycles.
Opinions are pretty nearly divided as to
the result. Every one hopes that no &C
cident will occur TO either, and that
they will return down Main street neck

Der OF the ". C. 7. U:
The Hard Times; The Cause and
Remedy" such was the subject of Ex-
Gov. John P. st. Johns talk at the opera
house last Friday night. In many re-
spects it was an able address along the
prohibition. But like all reform orators
OF to-day St. Johns address consisted
chiefly in finding fault, and picking out
the flaws and apparent inconsistencies
in tie laws rs they exist, without offer
irg any remedy, except that if the pro-
hibition party were put in power they
would change these things and mako
different. Gev, ST. John has either
knowingly or uncousciousiy adopted tho
political methods OF the democratic and
populist party speakers along these lines.
and instead of presenting the subject in
a logical and statesman-like way, he is
inclined to draw conclusions that ars
not backed up by facts. 1t is very easy
TO quote figures and make statements
that are misleading when quoted and
made in the way that he made them,
but when taken in another light, they
throw an entirely di.,erent aspect on tho
matter. To those who know better,
this sort Of deception smacks of insin-
cerity. Tho News is in sympathy with
the many truthful sentiments expressed
by the gentleman evsry honorable,
thinking man could not help but
be, and the reform that must and will
be accomplished at an early day. But

cause it will not be strong enough. nor

\ Warming to Fruit Growers:
Wherever the codiin moth appeared
last season. and in all orchards adjacent
to such places, arrangements should 10
made at once to spray all apple trees
lust as soon as the blossoms Sall and
again about ten days later. Delay is
more than dangerous, it is fatal. No
fruit can be sold that is wormy.
Those receiving special notice to spray
must do so in proper season or be Liable
to prosecution according to law.
1t is hoped that every one will havo
his own interest as well as that Of hi,
neighbors' at heart, and will use the fol-
lowing solution:
One pound paris green to two hun
dred gallons OF water, add two pounds OF
