As near as we can figure it out the
Dickinson county Pops defense Of
Steward James Buffers management
of the asylum which disinterested
accountant calls gross incompetency
and neglect" is that after asking for
personal rebate on state supplies
Of oleomargarine which be seems to
have been willing to purchase il the
'usual jobbers' rebate was forth
coming, he afterwards bought butter.
Such a confession comes nearer maxi
ing a virtue Of necessity than any
thing yet developed. The longer one
lives "the more he finds by gracious
out" about Pop ideas Of public duty.

Populists and Silver.

The Populists Of Marion county
wanted J. W. Moore to discuss fret
coinage few days ago and bis reply
was mastery one as showing up thu
Pop inconsistency on that matter
He said
| cannot discuss the coinage ques.
ton with the Peoples party, for your
party does not believe in the coinage
Of anything.
In the National Economist Senator
PETER said. II would not make
money out Of promise to pay; that
is to say, | would not write out q
promise to pay money and call that
money, but would use q piece Of
paper just as we are now using a
piece Of gold or silver and make that
money. 1t should not be redeemable
in anything"
Senator PETER introduced a bill to
demonetize both gold and silver.
Jerry Simpson was the author Of a
bill to demonetize both gold and sill
yer. The Manhattan Republic, a
leading Populist paper, says: "De-
monetizc gold and silver both. Give
us peoples money, not a gold and
silver kings money" Your National
Spectator says "Metal money is q
myth. The time has come to stop
worshiping myths. Let the metal
kings take their turn at hustling for
a living"
Congressman Otis introduced bill
to change our monetary system and
to provide for the issuing Of seven
billions Of paper money. Flexible as
you are you cannot believe in both
the reconciliation and demonetiza-
ton Of silver at one and the same
time.
Gentlemen, when as party you
had an opportunity to settle the
silver question on the best and safest
terms possible to silver, your United
States senator's voted against the
interests Of silver. And don't forget
that in one Of your platforms last

Governor Morrill, on Prohibition.

thorough dressing down in a recent
interview with Mr.. Morrill,. He says
am much amazed at the utter.
ances Of these ministers who are as
sailing the present administration
for not enforcing the prohibitory law.
They have gathered together certain
statements which am alleged to
have uttered and they took them
from hostile newspapers. They as
cribe to me certain things which !
have not said and woefully misinter-
pref things which have said. By
these men who should hold truth sa-
cred and to whom we look for a doc
trine Of fairness, justice and mercy it
has even been asserted that this adj
ministration was in league with the
liquor men and 1t was the deliberate
intention Of myself to collide with in
vaders Of the liquor law. am made
to say that the prohibitory law can
not be enforced in communities where
the sentiment is not practically unan-
imous for Its enforcement, and that
it Is no part Of the duty Of the chief
executive to aid in It's enforcement.
The sole and only foundation for
this perversion Of my views on the
liquor question may be found in q
statement which | made in a general
way when the prohibitory law was
not under discussion at ALL | said
that the effectiveness Of any law Is
dependent upon a favorable senti-
ment in the community in which it
was ATTEMPTED to enforce it, and this
