is not far distant when mothers will con-
slider the real interest of their children, and
use Castoria instead of the various quack

II the history Of finance shows that
legal enactment imparts to gold its
stability, we then contend that legal
enactment by great people can do
the same for silver; and there being
too small an amount Of gold in the
world with which TO conduct it's com
mercial transactions, we clam the
right to demand that our constituted
authorities exercise their power and
give to silver its old relation by the
side Of gold,
When this is done we will still need
more money, and we demand that our
constituted authorities "coin" our own
credit and not delegate the note emit

All of these things we shall con-
tend for until they are realized IN

The republican papers profess to
be in much fear that the populist SEN
ate and house will unseat about nine
senators and representatives, as the
republicans CLAIM the populists need
that many votes in order to carry a
proposition for q constitutional con-
vention. Suddenly these republican
papers are very much alarmed over
the prohibltory law, even the Kansas
CITY Journal wants the law retained.
The senate and house in our opinion
will not unseat any member elected
to positions in these bodies.

Why is it that the republican pa
pers are so much interested in the pro-
hibitory liquor law. Even the Kan
sas City Journal IS shedding tears at
the bare mention of its repeal. Sew
eral active republican workers in this
county have expressed a hope that
the people will have a chance to vote
on the proposition again, not that the
law will be changed, but in order that
public sentiment may be tested. As
Gov. Morrill, said "A law contrary to
public sentiment cannot be enforced.
