be for them in the future Of this country.
In every state and territory from the
western side of the Allegheny mountains
to the Pacific coast, silver has Deen
known and Endorsed to the people, not
merely as sound money, not merely as
honest money, but as land office money
besides With it their homes were bought
and paid for, and not much patience now
remains with them or their descen0ants
for those who stand and stigmatlze tne
great white metal which has done Its
work SO we'll.
And the need Of the white metal In
the hands of the people is even greater
than ever before. There is scarcely
speck Of gold in sight of the lasoring
four thousand millions of gold money IN
the world, and about the same amount
of silver. With silver demonetized the
plain people, the wage workers, eno tnose
who raise and sell the produce Of the soil,
will handle specie money no more FOR
ever, and will catch even a glimpse OF It
seldom. Gold will be boarded and hid
away in the vaults of the great magnates

basis Of recommendation will reduce them.
II wish to impugn the motives or no
one and to avoid hard words in discus
sion, as far as possible, but the time has
come when speech, though temperate,
should be very plain. Party platforms
from this time on will not be framed TO
cheat on this subject whatever may have
been done heretofore. No Dubois phrase
olcgy or straddling planks on the ques-
ton of silver will be tolerated in the next
national conventions that are to take
place in this country. Words will mean
what they say, and men Will De nomln-
ated whose lives and records will cOnsti-
tutes guarantee that the princi-
ples declared will be carried out. Nor are
the people to be imposed on any furtner
by the ominous air with which the money
lords and money lenders pirate about the
terrors and disasters Of being put on
silver basis by the free coinage of silver.
IF the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver as full legal tender money and as q
standard Of statutes and the unit OF ac-
count and payment, without WORD OF
international agreement on the subject,
will put this country on silver basis,
then we are on such a basis every day
and hour from the passage Of the COIN
age act in April, 1892, until the demone-
tization act Of February, 1879, period OF
81 years, during which we rose from

A Sad Death.

A few years ago, Nj. VIM. McAvoy Of
this city was found dead in bed. He
had been sick for a number Of weeks,
however. W. only mention this to show
a coincidence. His wife, Mrs. Kate Nc
Avoy, who was we'll known in Red
Cloud, and who recently moved to her
farm near Womer, Kansas, where she
lived alone, was found dead in her bed
last Sunday morning, having evidently
been dead several days when discovered
by her neighbors. Her mind was cyl.
IDENTITY unbalanced, caused by many
troubles and cares during the latter part
of her life. She would not allow her
friends or neighbors to visit her, and in
her lone cabin she lived and died. The
cause Of her death is unknown, but II
was probably heart disease that took heI
off. Kind hands laid the body at resi-
near the premises, and telegraphed hel
daughters, Mrs. Arson Highly and Mrs
Minnie Luttridge Of Deadwood, who
came Monday, accompanied by Mr.. Hig

The Reason why.

At a recent meeting OF the council, a
large batch OF bills were allowed and
warrants were drawn for them, but. on
the advice Of City Attorney Gillian, the
mayor refused to put his signature to
them. The haphazard manner of doing
the city's business heretofore has been
stopped, and the present mayor and
council are trying to put the business in
ship.shape. Below we give the message
Of Mayor Bentley to the council on the
subject.
Gentlemen Of the City Council:
l am informed by the city attorney
that the occupation tax collected by the
city can only be used under Ordinance
No. 30. for the following purposes (see
ordinance). ] am also informed by him
that no part OF the general fund OF the
city should be applied &c the payment
OF claims arising out OF the operation OF
the city water works system.
Also that no warrant should be drawn
in excess Of eighty.fiv per cent Of the
less there is sufficient money in the
treasury belonging to the proper fund
for it's payment.
Against this several funds, there are
outstanding accounts a%ggregating up
wards Of $4,000. or course, these obi
cations ought not to have beer contract
cd, because they are. or seem to be, in
excess Of 50 per cent Of the levy under
which they were intended. But the
city, having received value for them, il
is it's duty to provide some way for their
payment. The question is, how should
it be done? Should we do as former
city councils have been doing issue or.
ders and warrants against the present
years levy to pay last years debts =? or
should we apply this years levy exclus.
lively to this years obligations Or bust.
ness, and make some provision for Dor.
rowing money to pay up this $500 or
$4,000 floating debt In my judgment,
the latter ia the best course to pursue.
City warrants are now at q discount Of
10 per cent when they ought to be at
par, and would be except for our out
standing debt.
With our warrants worth IS cents and
drawing 7 per cent on their par value,
the city is really paying interest on its
debts at the rate OF % per cent. 1t is
certainly not good business policy.
Among the accounts allowed at your
last meeting, and for which ! an re.
quested to Sign warrants, are those Of
the former members OF this council for
salaries, and that OF the engineer in
charge OF the city water works engine
for wages. and others. Now, these
claims are just and should be paid. But
to pay them out Of this years levy
means to still further put of the day OF
our return to a cash basic. l have,
therefore, concluded it my duty to lay
the matter plainly before the city u
Gil 30 that they may have a full under.
standing Of it, and ! shall then be gov.
crned by their advice as TO whether l
should sign the warrants or not.-M. Il.
BENTLEY, Mayor.
There is not the least doubt but what
the people ought to have their money,
and IL the present levy is not accessible
for outstanding indebtedness, the city
should borrow the money and pay the
warrants at once.
