Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1896-06-18
REPUBLICAN COWARDICE.

The republicans had fine, long
laugh at the democracy struggling
with the currency question. The
difficulties of the democrats, in fact.
seemed just too funny for anything
and while the republicans heartily en-
ioyed the fun, they had no apprehen-
sion that they would be similarly
situated.
Now, however, just on the eve of
their convention, the republicans are
panicstricken They dare not make
any concessions to the great silver
wing of their party, and they are
afraid to declare for the gold standardS
They are between the devil and the
deep, blue sea.
If the republicans fail to declare
fatty against free coinage they are
utterly ruined. Their own strongholds
will shut their gates on them. On
the other hand, unless they comply
with the demands of the free silver
states large number of the delegates
will walk out of the convention and
their states will not be in the repub-
lican column next fail.
The innate cowardice of the repub-
licans is shown by their abject terror
as to which course they shall take.
Their unscrupulousness is betrayed
by their making the choice of a cur
rency plank merely a matter of policy.
1t is not surprising that the republi.
cans in their terror have shown their
real character, and if their cowardice
units them for the struggle now
before them, their unscrupulousness
increases their danger.
In party of the people, such as
the democratic party, the unselfish
aims of the members can make them
surrender individual opinions and
interests for the general good. In a
party OF selfish schemers, however,
such as the republican party, there is
nothing to make any man give up his
own opinions merely because they are
opposed to the general welfare.
There are no qualities more admired
than honesty and courage. Both of
these the republicans lack; both are
possessed by the democrats. And
when the two parties face each other
this year it will be more plain than
ever that the democracy is the party
of principle-the party of the people
and that the republican party is
the party of cowardly policy, the
party of dishonesty, the party that
prefers the trusts to the people,

knowledged the hopelessness of the
democratic cause when he announced
his intention to retire from the demo-
cratic national committee and all par
ticipation in national politics, in order
to fight for his own political life at
home. He knows that the republicans
of Maryland will leave no stone un-
turned to have him succeeded by re-
publican, and that he has no time to
devote to national forlorn hopes.

Wisconsin Free Library Commission

There is growing movement in
favor of establishing free libraries in
Wisconsin. In nearly every town
which lacks such an institution, the
great mass of citizens deplore the loss
of it's privileges. Notwithstanding the
prevalence of this sentiment, compare
lively few libraries are being perman-
emily established; because I) people
do not know how to direct this senti-
ment to advantage; and (2) because
many such movements have resulted
in failure on account of misdirected
effort.
The Wisconsin Library Association
and all friends of the library movement
will hold a conference at Racine, Wis,
on March II and Is, 1896. One ses-
sion will be devoted to matters of lib
rary economy, with special reference to
the smaller libraries. At another ses-
sion, the library problems Of our state
will be discussed and the needs of our
farming communities especially dwelt
upon. On Thursday evening, March
II, j. N. Larned, of Buffalo, N. Y, ex-
president of the American Library
association, will speak on 1.-THE Mis-
sion and Missionary of Books" Mr..
Larned is one of the foremost librarians
of the world, and his lecture cannot
fail to arouse enthusiasm in the library
movement in our state. This lecture
is rendered by the Wisconsin Free Lib
rary Commission.
In addition to the program offered,
there will be exhibits of the latest lib
rary appliances, books, model catalo-
CUES, etc.
If sufficient attendance is assured, an
effort will be made to obtain reduced
railroad rates. To this end, kindly
notify the undersigned, at your earliest
convenience, if you wish to attend the
conference.
Programs and all necessary informa-
ton will be furnished by the secretary
of the association and commission.

No one who watches the signs of the
times can doubt that in Wisconsin Nc
Kinley is a strong favorite over all
candidates for the presidency Any
republican who receives the nomina-
tio2 will carry the state by great
majority, but to the people generally,
suffering from the evils of misfit legis-
lation, Mckinley represents the ideas
and the policy which would most
quickly relieve them from the business
blight which has fallen upon all our
industries. His nomination would give
special emphasis to the determination
OF. the people to vote down British free
trade in all forms Of concentration or
dilutiOn, and to vote up the good
American doctrine of protection. We
recently said that it would be whirl-

IT is said that when the blind chap
lain of the house of representatives at
Washington prayed with great fervor
for the enforcement of the Monroe
doctrine and the recognition of the
revolutionary patriots in Cuba, he
awoke hearty applause. 1t was the
first time that an invocation OF the
divine power was ever greeted with
cheers in the congress of the United
States. This chaplain, who is the
Rev. Henry M. Couder, of Michigan, is
charged with having prayed for the
BOND bill, for a revenue bill, protec-
stive tariff and for the rules of the house
and there is talk of calling him down.
The Democratic side of the house
charges the parson with partisanship
an his petitions to the throne of grace,
and threatens to interrupt him on
point of order if he persists in this kind
of pernicious activity. Well, what
kind of chaplain do these heretics
want, anyway?
