Our community has been outraged,
A home has been robbed of a loved

men to better understand the meaning
of conviction against the saloon and
make the real enemies Of that business
stronger. Sometimes we hear this
kind of talk from the pulpit or in pri-

preacher and these men whom he
charges with murder, both voting the
same ticket although the way is wide
open for the preacher to cast his bal

THE PLAIN "ENGLIsHv OF 1T.

In an answer to an inquiry as to
whether he would take steps to secure
another international monetary con-
ference, Mr.. Balfour, the new Lord
Secretary of the English Treasury,
lately said
~ am, and always have been, in ia
vor of an international agreement; but
/ have not the right to pledge my col
leagues, and do not believe that an
international agreement will result
from an international conference"
1t is worthy of special note that Mr..
Balfour, who is personally friendly to
silver, here gives it as his belief that
no agreement on the coinage question
would be reached by another interna-
tional conference if one were called.
Commenting on Mr.. Balfour's' an
swer, the London Daily News says:
"Mr. Balfour's answer disposes of BIZ
metallism so far as this government is
concerned, and we are heartily glad of
1t, because we believe that bimetallism
spells ruin for the great creditor coun-
try of the world. Mr.. Balfour has
gone further even than Sir William
Harcourt, who did not object to con-
ference, provided the British delegates
were instructed to vote against debas-
ing the currency" s ~. ss3s
Here we have the English position
clearly defined on the question of BIZ
metallism, and the reason for it. Eng
land is .'the greater creditor country
of the world and bimetallism to. her
spells sruin, hence she'll none of it.

suit English money lords about what

EDITOR LEADER:-Since writing you
in reference to smallpox / have had
three new cases-four in all. Two OF
the new cases are very sick but the
third has varioloid. which is only a
mild form of the disease. Prompt vac
cination has probably saved his life, as
he is an old man and feeble at best.
Let everybody be vaccinated and there
is little to fear from this terrible
scourge. There is nothing in medical
science less disputed than the fact
that vaccination is preventive OF the
virulent form of smallpox.
There are no cases in Lincoln and L
hope will not be. All of the new cases
are in the same house where the first

years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-

constantly falling to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
