lit was not for the hope 0fcounty
Offices, scarcely a Democrat In Nor
rison county would be advocating
free silver coinage. Theleaders don't
believe in it, but they place their
personal interests above tne
country's interest, and preach Tree
silver to the voters in order to help
the Democratic county ticket: These
local leaders may want county Office
and may need it, but when they ad-
vocate free silver they are taking the
part of self-serving demagogucs.
They are not entitled to respect or
votes. They only use the free silver
argument to attract votes for their
county ticket, nd they know they
are trying to deceive the people on
an important public issue. 1t Is a
detestible course to take in politics.

An English paper thinks the marriage
of Wales remaining daughter, Princess
Victoria, to. William Waldorf Astor
would not be so bad. It declares that
many a royal marriage contaminated in
the past few years has been less promis-
ing than q union between princess
royal Ito a man Of good physical at
tributes and moral commercial oharao-
ter. . Moral commercial character" is
good, very good. The commercial kind
lie apparently the morality that counts
with our British brethren. The English
paper proceeds further to remark that
the marriage between Aston and the
princess would give the greatest salts
faction to intelligent people in the Eng.
lish speaking world. Just SO. And the
meaning between the lines is that the
British people are taxed so heavily for
the support Of the queen of England and
her multitudinous progeny that they
would not care much whom one Of this
progeny Of either sex married, just so it
was somebody who would entirely sup.
port in sufficiently grand style the given
princess or prince. The English news.
paper hastens to add, how ever, that in
case the princess married Astor Of course
Astor would be Immediately raised to
dukedom. Oh, yes, of course. And then
every Briton would lie ready to kiss the
boots Of the descendant Of the old Ger
man fur dealer who came to America q
century ago.
