While in South Carolina recently, Mr.. Cleve-
land would not be seen, it is said. He even
would not let Irish potatoes come his table,
because they had eyes. He is ashamed of HIM
self We don't blame him.-Hickory Mercury.
On the day that the Republicans took the
oath of office there was general decline IN
prices shown in the market reports This is
the way to revive business increase the value
of the dollar to the detriment Of the many
Salina Union,
Goods Box Whittier does not report Senator
Sgrnon right in reference to the speakership.
What the Senator said was in reference to what
a man in this country said some years ago. He
was candidate for the nomination for the leg
slature. Some one told him he could not speak.
He said that didn't matter they would elect
speaker whose business it would be to do all the
speaking.-Hickory On. c. Mercury.
THE yardstick of sc inches is measuring
unit of length. Suppose law should be enact
ed changing this yardstick to IL inches. 1t
would ruin everybody that had anything to sell
by the yard. The dollar is the measuring unit
of value. Suppose law should be enacted
doubling the value of the dollar Would it not
ruin everybody that had anything to sell for
dollars That is exactly what congress did in
1873 when it changed the standard of value
from the silver dollar to the gold dollar, and de-
monetized silver.-Progressive Farmer.
A good Joke is told on man who has often
been candidate for the nomination for con-
eress. A mountain cabbage wagon passed his
house recently. He bought very large, fine
head. He told his wife to be sure and save the
seed when she cut it open. He is Third
party man, but always votes the Democratic
ticket. It is a good joke.-Hickory On. CO.
Mercury.
A Minister of Christ Look back at your
Christ. In most cruel and despotic age; all
age that played the game of empire with ma
tons at pawns an age of fraternity limited to
clioues, Christ, standing alone under the flap
ping Roman Eagle, denounced the feeling OF
of caste and deliberately took sides with the
weaker. He stood between the crowd of cere-
nonv and the crowd that ceremony starved.
Ours is too much the democracy OF egot1sm
That is the dry rot of half our churches. IT
our religion is worth its salt, it must go out
of the dim religious light into these highways
and bvwavs and find market place of work

II Cleveland and Carlisle force gold to a
premium by making it the only money, the
next Coxey band that starts for Washington
will have on their war paint and go after scalps.

"CEAse talking about reputation and the
credit of the state will be restored, says Gov
Morrill, in his inaugural. Now who ever talked
repudiation except the Republican papers OF
tbe state 1t seems to us that the Governors
words are an open rebuke to the press of his
partv.-Salina Union.
IT would be amusing, if itwere not so serious
y matter, to recount Democratic promises and
and compare them with the legislation. We
believe that most of the Democrats were honest
in casting their votes in the past, but they are
the LARGEST mess of suckers old Cleveland ever
cuoht.-People's Advocate, Pittsfeld, Ill.
Two cries are heard One comes from the
Fast and screams for bonds, and threatens to
wreck the country with another panic If the
cries are not needed. The other comes from the
West, and with shiverng, piercing wall asks
only for bread and fuel, that starvation and
death may be kept from the door. One comes
from the honest toilers, robbed and plundered
until failure of crops leaves them destitute.
The other echoes from the caverns of the
bankers. The cries from the banks are needed
in the halls of legislation, but the cry for bread
is called communism and anarchy the remedy,
suppression.
He who seeks to aid his fellow man
Rests behind iron grating;
But he who aids the robber clan
