The 16-page edition of the REDWOOD GA

The women of Redwood Falls had a chance
last week to try their hand at newspaper
making and the result was little the best
ladies edition that has come to this office.
Its sixteen pages are a monument of edi-
torial ability and business enterprise,
which should have deserved result of over
flowing Golfers.

The ladies' edition of the REDWOOD GA
zETTE, which was issued by the ladies of the
Presbyterian church of Redwood Falls was
a handsome 16-page paper and is a credit to
the city and to the ladies who had the work
in charge. Judging from the amount of adj
vertising contained in the extra number the
ladies can purchase a bell for their church
which can be heard from one end of the
county to the other.

INDIVIDUALS and newspapers often
times IN their anxiety to advance polit.
ical interests. or Illustrate the plans Of
their opponents, seem to lose sight OF
the fact that the eyes Of the people are
argus eyes, carefully watching every
movement. All's fair in war or poll
tics, is not a true maxim. A political
expression that the author would have
you believe vas true, when it was false,
is as censurable as If he used the same
deceit in business, or in social com .
ments on the times. There are con
scientious, truthful men. speakers and
writer's, IN all political organizations
men whose words are read, pondered
and frequently followed by well-mean-
ing persons, who seek the merits Of the
issue dividing public sentiment. Should
then not be more careful to confine

ROME vas a republic; the greatest
hat had eyer been seen in her day.
She fell by devotion TO partyism instead
If principle. The shrieklng of a parry
shibboleth was enough to carry any
man with the populace, no matter
what his personal character, % what
his disqualifcations for Office. The
result was that incompetency, fraud,
extravaganza, and misrule abounded.
Bosses governed the parties, and the
parties governed the country for the
aggrandizement and personal ends OF
the bosses. The whole body polite
became 80 corrupt, SO morally rotten,
that the republic died of its own vices.
But one thing could have saved IT.:
The sacrifice of party to prlnciple, the
refusal Of the masses to support incom-
potency and dishonesty, despite the
demands of the bosses. History re-
peats itself. To-day we have the same
thing on a smaller scale in San Miguel
county. Every lover of his country
should be warned by the past, should
rise up in its patriotism, hurl the
bosses from power, and cover incompe-
tent and corrupt candidates with the
of deserved defeat.

A MAN may be loyal to his party, a
democrat or a republican, without faint
OF change or inconsistency, aud YET
exercise his personal opinions and
preferences in the matter of support
ing candidates. This fact is illustrated
not only by republican example, but by
the instance in the democratic camp,
down in Albuquerque, some years ago,
in which Intellectual war was waged
upon Idus L. Fielder, because of his
exercise of personal freedom in the
casting of his ballot. The fact is that
the time has passed, never to return.
when a few bosses or ward politicians
shall select the candidates fer office,
and the rank and file of the party shall
be only SO many dumb-driven cattle, to
execute the will of the self-appointed
leaders.

REPUBLICAN MONEY PLANK 1894

We affirm that the characterization of sill

metal, but by increasing the purchasing
power of gold, has correspondingly de-
pressed the value of all products and COM
modities and increased the burden Of all
debts, thus crushing tho agricultural and
other producing classes, as well as the sill
yer miners of the country, and no perma-
nent return of general prosperity can be
expected until bi-metallism is re-estab-
lished by the free and Unlimited coinage
of god and silver, as it existed from the
foundation of the government TO the year
1873, at the ratio of 16 to l, which we insist

operation of any nation or nations, and we
call upon all opponents of silver to point
to any good that has come to this country
or the world at large by demonetizing
silver.
We arraign Grover Cleveland as the
arch-enemy of silver coinage, and the
chief supporter in this country of the
mono-metallic creditor class Of Europe
for the corrupt 2se oi the executive power
and patronage in coercing the action of
congress on the repeal of the Sherman
purchase act; and for the veto of the bill
to coin the government silver now lying
useless in the treasury, and we charge that

passed any MEASURE whatever favorable to

PERSONAL, NOT POLITICAL.

IL has often been said that there ID

leo than can be found elsewhere in the
United States. This is certainly true,
If thereby is meant that more interest
is taken here in conventions and in the
election OF candidates.
Ga the other hand, there has beer
but little real politics in III elections
in the Territory, and hardly any reason
for the little which we have had. Be,
ing q Territory, it made little differ
ence, really, whether democrats or re,
publicans were elected to congress Oh
to the Legislature; and it made abso.
lutely no difference which party filled
the county offices. Hence, for years
in New Mexico, what has been demon
mated politics has been really a mere
matter Of personal contention.
This state OF case has grown, Of ne,
cesslty, out of u Territorial condi-
ton, and but little change in it, il any,
need be looked for till New Mexico
shall become a state. Then, and moi
till then, will men be elected because
of their political principles, and cam
paigns will be conducted strictly along
party lines. In the present election.

THIS FAufn.FlNpnns.

IT'S passing strange that some peo-
Pile never weary Of finding fault. In
their narrow and hide. bound opinions
there Is nothing good In society, rellg-
ion, or politics. They blow off their
incoherent harangue OF alander and
calumny to every person they can halt
long enough to pay them any atten-
ton. Truth is a stranger to them, and
they never formed the acquaintance Of
good manners. They read the news
papers, but haven't got sense enough
to properly construe an ordinary seu-
tence. II the paper contains a good
word for a man who is a candidate for
office, these know-it-all fellows say It
is q "paid for puff" Las Vegas con-
tains a few men OF that makeup and
as soon as a mans name is mentioned
for Office, or anything else that is els-
waiting, their busy tongues begin to
waggle. In our short existence we
have always found it better and more
pleasant to speak a good word for
those who are struggling hard against
the tide Of adversely. Kind words are
jewels, aud their worth cannot be CON-
puted. This criticism is nothing per-
sonal to the writer, but points In an.
other direction, ard has an application
with parties who don't care about hav-
ing their names banded around In that
kjdd of style.

The following il an editorial from the
London Financial News (goldbug:)
There il plain moral in the remark
that il the United States would venture
to cut hersslf adrift from Europe and
take outright to silver she would have
all America and Asia at her back and
the command OF the markets Of both
countries. The barrier Of gold would be
more fatal than any barrier Of 4 custom
house. The bond Of silver would be
stronger than any bond Of free trade.
There can be no doubt about it that il
the United States were to adopt silver
basis tomorrow British trade would be
ruined before the year was out. Every
American would be protected, not only
at home. but in every other market. OF
course the United States would suffer
to q certain extent through having to pay
her obligations abroad in gold. but the
loss Of exchange under this head would
30 4 mere drop in the bucket as compar-
Cd to the profit to be reaped from the
markets Of South America and Asia, to
say not hing Of Europe. The marvel is
that the United States have not seized
the opportunity long ago. 1t has been a
piece Of luck that it has never occurred
to the Americans to scoop us out OF the
worlds markets by going on silver
basis. and it might serve us right il.
irritated by tho contemplate apathy Ct
our government toward the silver prob
lem, the Americans retaliated by freez-
ing out gold. 1t could be easily done.

j. H. Ives, young man about 10 years
OF age, together with five other young
men came down from Ouray short
time ago and went up in the Escalants
country on fishing trip.
Mr.. Ives was a son OF j. NJ. Ives, OF
Rochester, n. Y. and Mrs. Ives, mother
OF the young man, a sister Of Mrs. Reyn-
olds, OF Ouray, where they were visiting
this summer.
AS is usual on such trips the young
men were well provided with guns. Uu-
fortunately there was an old 80 revolver
in the outfit that did not work we'll. but
this was one OF the times when it did
not refuse to work. Young Ives was
sitting on the ground while another
young man was standing up trying to
get the cylinder of the revolver to work,
when it was discharged. the ball enter
ing the breast of young Ives ranging
downward toward the heart. Ives arose
to his feet and said "I'm shot, took one
step and fell dead.
The boys were about 10 miles from
their camp and had to tie the corpse OF
young Ives on his horse in order to &, I
it to the wagon at their camp. The ace
dent occurred Wednesday afternoon
about 3 o'clock and the party arrived
here Friday morning at 3 o'clock. The
remains were turned over to Undertaken
Gaze who, upon instructions from the
the boys mother. at Ouray. embalmed
the body and prepared it for shipment.
Mr. Reynolds came down from Ouray
Friday evening and accompanied the
remains to Rochester. N. Y. being met
at Montrose by Mrs. Ivos, the dead boys
mother.
Young Ives was an artist of rare ability
for one SO young and had been offered a
situation on one Of the Buffalo papers as
cartoonist but declined in orde. to
finish his education.

THAT ADDRESS.

The address OF Senator Teller and the
others ought to make profound impress
sion upon the people OF the United
States The argument is unanswerable
and contains material enough to justify
their walking out Of the conventions; to
justify republicans everywhere who think
they understand the silver question, and
the elimination which was sought for
by the republican platform, in doing
what they can to defeat the republican
candidate. and that platform. OF course
it is great breaking up Of political
parties, but it 10 time that the power
which has been held mercilessly by the
creditor class for twenty years, and which
grew defiant and insolsnt at st. Louis,
should be permanently broken. There
10 no reason why this great Republic
should be stopped in full career, con-
verted into pauper state and governed
by a moneyed aristocracy ut the expense
OF making all the masses OF producers in
the country mere tenants at will in the
hands OF these owners OF money. 1t is
time change was made 30 that 600,0o0.
600 Of gold cannot be permittee to hold
this country by the throat and paralyze
its prosperity and its hopes. 1t is time
at least that every man should be per-
mitted to work and have something for
his labor. The undertone Of the address
is superb. Below the lines one can read
that the gentlemen who framed it were
aware all the time that they were doing
something that possibly ment political
ostracism for themselves, no end Of
personal abuse, and yet they did it be-
cause Of conviction as deep as life it.
self that that was the only thing to do in
this crisis OF our political life. 1t ought
to be carefully read in every home in the
land; in every miners cabin; out on every
farm; in every workshop, everywhere.
for it cannot but have tendency to
make men better patriots and more
anxious to serve faithfully their country.
