HOw's This, Dad?

CooPERsrowN. N. D., May 25, 1896.
EDITOR of COURIER.
Dear Sir: I see in your paper a
correspondence from one calling him
self Dad, in which he says he was in.
suited during his verv pleasant sojourn
in Cooperstown during the court,
and as l presume am the party he
refers to as insulting him, though he
was not man enough to use the name
of the party he referred to, nor TO say to
Ills face what he said behind his back, nor
does he relate the circumstances under
which the inferred insult was given,
but considering his way of doing busi-
ness it is no more than what could be
expected. I will relate the circumstan-
ces and let the public judge-personal-
ly do not consider that I am capable
of insulting Dad. l asked Dad to come
in and give me new note for an old
note that was given for merchandise
about 8 years ago. just plain note
to furnish the blank and the pen and
ink to sign with, but Dad would not do
this, it. was too much to ask Of a man
of his cloth, but he said he was going
to pay when he got aLle. Then asked
him what he was doing that he expect
ed to get money out of to pay this debt
His answer was: ''Don't insult me by
asking such questions" told him
considered it no insult to ask a man
how he expected oket money to pay a
note that was near out lawed. The
final outcome was that he refused to
give new note, on the ground that he
did not want to pay compound interest,
but offered to pay 81 to keep note from
out lawing, he thought he could bor-
row this amount some where, but l
doubt it very much, and am sure if
every one knows him as well as l do
that he could not. I told Dad that If
he worked more and wrote less for the
Courier I thought he would be better
able to pay his honest debts, and in
conclusion have this to say. If 1t is
an insult to ask man to pay his hon
est debts then insulted Dad.
The MAN Who INsULrED DAD.
P. S. l offered to give Dad his note
If he would pay the face of it and throw
off the 6 years interest, and the note
will be sold to any one now who wants
it for $25, and the face of it is $50 with
about years interest at 10 per cent.

Today the future of Phoenix will be settled. This is our last appeal to the voters and it is to stand up for Phoenix.
 We have supported the Republican ticket because we believed that its cleo tion meant the prosperity and advance ment of the city. The candidates on this ticket are pledged to promote the best interests of Phoenix and take such steps towards the development of the town as will insure thriving and pop ulous city.
 The friends of Phenix, men of prop. erty, men who pin their faith to the city, cannot consistently vote against candidates whose position is thus de- fined and at critical period when even the weight of hair may turn the scales either for or against Phoenix.
 Stand up for Phoenix. Vote for Evans and the other men on the ticket with him and record yourself on the side of progress, prosperity and the new Phe. nix, which shall rise from the ashes of the old as the queen of Arizona. the metropolis of the southwest.

THE MONETARY CONFERENCE.
 Itseems to be the opinion of those who make study of the currency problem that Germany will call a silver confer ence and that England will participate.
 If Germany calls the conference she will be under obligations to propose something, and as Germany has here. tofore opposed the enlarged use of sil- yer, her attitude is significant.
 It is conceded that without the CO., operation Of England the conference will have no practical result. The ques- tion es to what England would prob ably agree to in the line of an enlarged use of silver, is an interesting one. The European countries would not en- ter upon the unlimited coinage of sil- yer without the agreement of England
 It has been suggested that England may propose ito reopen her Indian hints; to increase the legal tender quality of her silver coins, say to five pounds, and to keep at least fourth of her bank reserve in silver.
 It is not believed that British senti- ment will agree to 8 more liberal con- cession to the silver idea at this time. The other European countries would not be satisfied with the half measures from England, and this makes the sue cess of the conference when held ex- tremely dubious.

GORDON, the Louisville man who killed his wife and her paramour, is out on $3,000 bail. The coroner's jury de- cision of justiiable homicide is evident ly expected to be upheld by the jury which hears the testimony. Is a man justified in killing his wife because she is not true to him? If so is the wife justified in retaliating in kind. If all the women who had untrue husbands killed them there would be scarcity of voters in some neighborhoods. Death is not the sentence for violating a pledge; divorce is the remedy. Gordon will probably be acquitted because he is gentleman and has only defended his honor. Honor and gentlemen are two words that are greatly misunder- stood,

THEY ARE INSINCERE.

The professions of the supporters of Dr. Rosson and his ticket that if it is elected improvements will be under taken, are insincere. The Democrats have been in power continuously for years in this city until one year ago. That no public i'm. provements were undertaken is matter of history. One year ago Repu ubllcans were elected and the city began to grow. Sidewalks were built, the city was lighted and assumed a gen. eral metropolitan aspect tha. was pleas ing to our own people as well as to strangers.
 The Democrats are as insincere in local matters as they are in National. There are a great many Democrats whose present zeal for silver is prompt ed by the knowledge that they will stand TO chance next year on their old platform. Senator Voorhees,, of h. diana, is one of this class. He will be up for reelection next year, but he knows that he cannot win unless the Republicans can be divided hence his grandiloquent utterances on the silver question.
 There is no silver man who does not know that the repeal of the purchasing clause of the sherman act at the de- mand of the monometallists was ter rible blow to the country. Senator Voorhees, was the leader of the mono metallist forces in that contest, and it is ridiculous for him to proclaim him. self such loyal friend of silver now. He may think that he can secure his reelection by this course, but the peo- pie will scarcely forget what he has so recently done. True silver men every where will be on the watch for the others of the class to which the Hoosier senator belongs; these will not be per- mitted to use the silver cause as a blind behind which to crawl into power.
 If the Democracy as whole thought it could retaln power by advocating free coinage it would do so, but that would not mean that it would do any, thing for silver if it were returned-its insincerity has been proved in the past and rises up as an admonition now when so many members of the party are endeavoring to secure fresh vote Of confidence from the people after hay ing so recently proved recreant to their trust.
 And so it is in local matters. The men who are supporting Dr. Rosson never had a thought ot protesting to be progressive until they saw that it was necessary for success at the polls. But, voters. don't be fooled by these empty promises. Give your support to Evans
