A G0LDITE DEC0Y.
Millions to Keep Silver Down, Only
 Thousands to Beat State Banks.


 Thousands to Beat State Banks.
 For illustration of the difference between redemption money and redeemabIe money l selected as an example of the latter the issues of state banks. I wish to say that I did this without any feeling of hostility toward these institutions. l am not opposed to state banks. On the contrary, I think lean give very good reasons fer preferrlng such system of state banking as might be cstabliShed to the present national bank system, but I have observed that an effort is being made in certain sections to incnl- cate the belief that state banking may in some way be made sub stitute for silver restoration.
 wish it 10 be understood that the repeal of the state bank tax, however just and expedient, is, when compared with the restora ton of silver, of onl y triAing inn portance; that before state bank issues can in any considerable de- gree relieve the present business distress the basis upon which their quantity and influence rest must be enlarged, and how foolish, therefore. it will be to allow the attention to be distracted and the efforts for silver restoration relax cd by any talk or promises as to mere change in tho banking sys- tenn.
 Double your standard and you can safely double your currency. This should be understood by all friends of money reform, tor its enemies understand it thoroughly and act accordingly. The money lenders would not give s50.000 to defeat the repeal of the state bank tax'-they would give S50,000, ,000, and will, if they can see way to use it successfully, to defeat silver restoration. They understand the the difference between redeemable money and redemption money. Let them control the amount of money of redemption, and they will have no anxiety about the amount of redeemable money The state bank question is one of their decoys. Their energy, eff forts and money influence are con- eentrated upon the silver issue, and those whose property and la bor they are seeking to oonfiscate will be foolish if they fail 10 dis tinguish the one main issue from those which are subordinate or neglect to meet concentrated at- tack with a concentrated defense. -C. J. Hillyer's Reply to Carlisle.

It will cost you nothing to ship, and may result in unusual attention being drawn to Drew County Count me in for every thing you may arrange. or schemes which may be laid for the advancement of Drew County.

WorlEN AS TEACHERS.

Recently at the annual banquet given
by the Columbus Cub in Chicago, Bishop
spalding, Of Peoria, ILL.,, spoke on educa-
tion and created sensation by saying
that women were not fit for teachers OF
boys after the latter had attained the age
of ten years. The remark created so much
comment, on account of the intellectual
reputation of the bishop that the Times
Herald produced the opinions of leading
citizens, noted educators as well as others,
in varied walks of life, as to the correct
ness of the bishops statement and al
though the opinions were divided the best
ideas regarding the matter were that the
statemnt of the bishop has been proved td
be Just, not only in this country but in
Europe.
Some Of the women teachers contend
that the softening influence Of woman's
nature is as much needed in the education
Of boy as are the sterner attributes Of
man, but on the other hand it is argued
that these influences should be inculcated
before that period Of the boys life. 1t is
likewise contended that although a
woman may be ti1nid as a rule, yet the
hour of extreme peril she is more coura-
geous than a man.
The opinions rendered are so various
and divergent that it would be difficult to
refer to them in detail, yet it is not at all
likely that Bishop spaulding will change
his views in the matter.

PALMER WILL RETIRE.

- = - K :
Senator John M. Palmer will retire
from politics after his senatorial term has
expired. While crowding closely upon
eighty years he is still one of the vigorous
old men.of the day.
His has been a long and active engage
ment upon the stage of life. He has
been a clook peddler, a farmer, lawyer,
q politician, soldier, a governor al and
row a United States senator.a He has
been earnestly spoken Of for the presi-
dency.
He had been Republican from the
birth OF the party until some years ago,
when he concluded that the organization
was no longer what it had been N the
days of Lincoln and Sumner and men Of
that stamp, who watched oyer it from rs 2 z
it's childhood until it drifted into its
grave. Following Lincoln's7 motto, he
kept close to the people, and tie people
have always stood by Palmer.
He is far from being rich. He has a
we'll established law practice in Spring
field, ILL.,, and lives in a modest home In
that city.

Senator Chandler, OF New Hampshire,
says that war between the United States
and England is bound to occur but he has
not as yet fixed the date. Should it begin
on our part, lit will not be apt to take
place inside of twenty years, but should it
begin on the part of England, it will occur
much sooner. As he says it is certain
to come and that England will begin 1t
first, what will be the necessity Of us
starting a war with the same enemy so
soon afterwards? Chandler has too much
of the warlike spirit as is shown in his
statement that we would welcome tussle
with the Britishers. In that event we
are to capture Canada and hold it for all
time, he says, and perhaps perform other
martial exploits. But Chandler shouldn't
put off the date SO far. BY that time he
will be beyond the fighting age and in all
probability beyond the river Styx. Let's
have the shindy now so that Chandler
cam take a hand. .

President Samuel Hill Of the Eastern
Minnesota railway says that during the
next few years there should be estab-
lished in Minnesota a good many iron
manufactures. The development of those
mines, the smelling Of the great quanti-
ties of ore here and the manufacture
within our state of iron-which has got
to be so very great a factor in the build
ing world-should add hundreds of thou
sands to the states population, and this
population will use the -four and lumber
Of Minneapolis and other manufacturing
points in state which enjoys SO many

asks, can it be to invite others to settle
here. Upon this. topic a joint discussion
should be arranged between the gentle-

Pension Commissioner Lochren in his
annual report says: "Those men who Whfoq en- en-
listed early and fought the battlesiof the
war were not moved by mercenary con-
siderations, and unless actually disabled
did not show the haste in applying for
pensions manifested by those who en-
listed near the close Of the war for large
bounties, and did little actual service,
and who are now the noisest in clamor-
ing for more pensions. As compared
with this latter class the real soldiers Of
the war have been modest in preferring
claims for PENSIONS
The eold soldier" who managed to es-
cape the smell of powder and was onlyin
the ranks because he was forced there is
always the loudest in his denunciation OF
the government because he is not receiv-
ing greater pension than the one which
he perhaps fraudently draws. The SOL
der who really did the fighting is always
the most modest as we'll as patriotic.

THE GRAND OLD PARTY.

The inside nor the outside history of the
Republican national convention, held in
Chicago in 1888, has never been fully
written,ea probably the national COM
nlittee1nefl hope it never will be. Donny-
brook .ff4Ftr was a love feast in compari-
son with it. Clarkson, Of Iowa, who was
chairman of the executive committee,
made holy show of himself and had to
be taken care of. Enormous bills for
whisky and other comforts were left un-
paid and no doubt most of them are un-
paid still. The bill for wine and whisky
for one committeeman for nine days
amounted to 5000. It was paid to screen
the disgrace. 1t is not said that Clarkson
was the debtor, but they do say, that
Clarkson lost his head upon the occasion
and that the bills generally for his crowd
were frightful.
The location for the next Republican
convention is now practically for sale to
the highest bidder. Chicago can get it
putting up 100000, and no city will
be considered unless 1t comes to the
front with that amount at least. San
Francisco offers $250,0O0 and Pittsburg
also offers large amount. A good deal
of the money offered will be required to
pay the bills of the last convention.
Creditors have been clamoring for over
three years, but there is nothing to give
them, nor will there be until some city
puts up money enough to pay the expenses
of the coming convention as well as the
last.
These little innocent things are men
toned to show what good people the Re-
publdcans always are. They are not like
the wicked Democrats who drink and talk
loud and otherwise make things uncom-
Portable When Clarkson, chairman of
the executive committee, at the last con-
vention, called General Fitzsimons a
liar and struck him over the head with a
cane, that was playful eccentricity, nc
doubt, and might be referred to the un-
paid bill Of $500, but should Democrat
be guilty of such conduct it would be
considered outrageous and justly so. A
Republican in politics is a sweet and ten
der thing
