HIeeINsvILLE RESOLUTIONS.

At the township convention at Higgins
willie last Saturday the following resoIu-
tions were adopted:
Whereas, The financial policy Of the
present administration has been such as
to bring ruin to the commercial, manu-
featuring and agricultural interests of the
United States, causing untold misery and
suffering among the people, the direct
cause OF the suicidal mania so prevalent,
and the unparalleled stagnation Of bust
ness in all lines, and the reduction in
prices of commodities below the cost of
production; and.
Whereas, We recognize in the struggle
which has forced the United States to a
single gold standard basis not merely a
contest between the East and West, but a
life and death struggle between the
masses on the one hand and concentrated
wealth and monopoly on the other; and,
Whereas, We seriously regard it as a
menace to the very life of our grand
republic, and knowing it to be the para
mount issue in the coming campaign, we,
in democratic primary assembled,
Resolve, That the National Democratic
Convention should ~unequivocally declare
for the free and unlimited coinage OF gold
and silver at n ratio of Is to l, independ-
eatly of any other nation on earth, and
that Zone but Rvowed silver advocates
should be selected as delegates to the
National Convention from Missouri; we
also
Resolve. That we commend the course
OF Vest, Cockrell, Stone and Bland in
their noble and unseIfsh fight for true
democracy and the masses in champion
ing the silver cause; also,
Resolve, That we condemn the policy of
the st. Louis Republic in trying to
debauch the character OF our party lead
ers as discouraging and libelous; we al o
Resolve, That the course of the Pest
Dispatch under the management OF Col,
G. III. Jones during the present campaign
is most commendable, and that 1t should
and that we express our gratitude for the
aggressive fight it has made for bimet-
sllism-
OBITUARY.
From the Nodaway Democrat.
Died, at Quitman. Nodaway county,
Missouri, Mrs. Carolins Young, nee Bar
nett. wife Of l.. ID. Young, Esq.
MRS. Young was born IN Madison
county, Kentucky, July 10Th, 1921, and
died March 18th, 1895, aged seventy four
years, seven months and twenty DAYS.
She was married to l., ID. Young in
Jessamine county, Kentucky, September
9Th, 1912. To them were BORN eleven
children, of whom six are still living
four sons and two daughters, all OF whom
were present at her funeral. OF the dead
four were taken in infancy and one in
mature womanhood.
1.-THE last few years of Mrs. Young's
life were years of great physical pain and
suffering; yet she retained to a remarkable
degree, under the circumstances, her men
tai powers to the last. Death, however,
came to her release. The tired, weary,
burdeued soul has entered into rest in the
presence OF its Savior and God. The weak
emaciated body sleeps beside the remains
the of daughter in the cemetery at Mary
vile, In the bosom of mother earth, await
ing the SOUND of the trumpet to awaken
it, when that same body, which we con-
signed to the tomb as a natural body, in
corruption, in dishonor and in weakness,
shall come forth a spiritual body, in cor
ruption, in glory and in power.
Her sons and daughters have made her
Saviour their Saviour, and are walking,
perhaps, with a mis-step, here and there
the narrow way that leads to life. Her
aged companion, now in his four score
years, in much bodily weakness and
infirmity, is awaiting hopefully the call
above to life and rest.

Mrs. Young is the mother of Thomas
Young of this city, and is we'll known to
every one.
