od-thirstiness that has won for
Spain something of the same execra-

1t is a grave thing for us to face the
issue of possible war, even with the
decrepit and dying monarchy that is
now heir to the glory Of a power
that was once the despot of Europe
and the terror Of the world. But we
have our responsibility as citizens Of a
free republic, and as men not destitute
not permit this awful crime to be con-
summated. We will not allow Spain to
carry the torch and the sword and

Of Cuba until such order has been re-
established there as once reigned in
Warsaw. Our patience has been
stretched to it's limit, and our duty ap-
pears in plain sight. Without a
thought of what party 1t may profit,
and without a fear of the consequences
that we may invite. we owe 1t to our
selves as men, and to the Ruler of
the universe, from whom we receive
the blessings that we enjoy, to stretch
out the mighty arm of this republic,
and say to Spain that murder and des-

city's interests, and after number
of informal talks on the subject, it was
voted to organize an association of
real estate owners in st. Paul, which
should have for it's general purpose
the betterment of the city and her

SILVER WINS,

The very latest we get from Chi
cago at the hour of going to press-3
p. MS that the free silver men are
in full CONTROL and will name the
platform and the candidate. The
gold majority of the national COM
mittee recommended David B. Hill,
of New York, for temporary chair.
man, the silver men recommen ded
Daniels. of Virginia, and on roll call,
Daniels was elected over Hill by q
vote of $50 to $40.
The temporary roll of delegates IN
cluded all the gold delegates, but the
committee on credentials of the con-
vention seated some of the silver dele
gates.
White, of California, was made per.
manent chairman, and the silver men
have everything their own way.
The platform will be for free COIN
age of silver and gold at Is to land
other countries lump it if they don't
like it. Silver Dick Bland will in all
probability be the nominee.
No nominations will be made before
Thursday. The convention, at $40
p. M, adjourned to 5 p: m.

and consequently cause all industry to
revive. And again, if they pay Us one
dollar IL gold, IT will be two of our sil
yer dollars and you would have twice as
much money for your wheat; also IT
would cause more imports as every
body would have more money to buy
and consequently the government
would receive more revenue.
-'By dunder und blixen, Mr.. Freesil-
ferite, believe now you are right,
will vote NIT Bland and then send all
mine dollars to mine frau und when she
comes ofer here, we will haze twice as
notch"
Not so fast. my friend Hans Kaspar:
if Bland is elected, which is quite sure
to happen, or any other man of the
people, silver viii appreciate in value
forthwith and almost before free coin
age can be started, silver will be worth
as much as It used to be before demon
citation, because there is not enough
silver, like the gold bugs would make
the people believe, to glutton the mar
ket if there is a demand for it. And
again, Hans Kaspar, you told me your
wife can't read or write. Now, if
Mckinley should be elected, the A. P. A.
would surely have law passed, forbid
ding all illiterates to come to this
country and your wife could never join
you and your boys.
'VeH, Mr.. Freesilferite, you are
nice schintleman for telling me all dat.
Excuse me was so mad at you, l was
plenty FOOL myself, l will vote for Bland
eferytime now and will go ride offer
uud tell mine boys Hans, Peter Jakup,
und Michel Sheppel if dem dam gold
bugs come around again to throw 'em
rite OUT
So, Mr.. Editor, score three votes for
Bland.
Yours Truly,

Hans Kaspar Enlightened.

Mr.. EDlToR:-
My neighbor, Hans Kaspar was
greatly excited the day about my items
in the DEMOCRAT. Says he: "Mr.
Freesilferite, what makes you so big fool
und rite SO notch against Mckinley
NIT the gold bugs?" Well, Hans Kas-
par, said 1, I do that to help keep the
country from going to ruin. "By
dunder und blitzen," says he, ssI was at
the convention in Great Bend und they
allsay how Mckinley is such a nice,
imperial schintelman, yust like Napo-
leon und you know yourself, gold is
better as silfer; yust go und puy a gold
watch-a silfer watch they almost gife
away" Well. Hans Kaspar, please
tell me where; my old clock has been
running the last twenty FIVE years and
is almost played out and since 1 can't
buy new one, I'd be mighty glad to
get silver watch for nothing. "Dat
is yust for working so notch for silfer,"
says Hans Kaspar. Now, said |,
Hans Kaspar, look: What for did you
come to this country they have the
gold basis in Germany and also have an
emperor. "Oh! said Hans Kaspar,
81 came ofer here because here is no
emperor and Everybody is free und my
boys can work NIT me on the farm und
not be soldiers for the emperor.
Well then, what makes you wish to
vote for such an imperial gold bug here?
"Dats so'' said he And again, Hans
Kaspar, you say you have about one
thousand bushels of wheat you wish to
keep till spring, when gold will be king,
so as to enable you. to send for your
wife in the old country; don't you see
If Bland is elected on a free coinage
plank. they all will try in Europe to un-
load as much silver on Us as possible
and therefore buy lively of our wheat
and as they are all on a gold basis, it
will enhance the value of our wheat

Annual School Meeting and District Board

The annual meeting will be held July
goth. The officer to be elected this
year is the treasurer. The terms of
ali officers who are holding by appoint
ment expire at this meeting. Their
places should be filled by election. The
treasurer should make complete item
lied report to the meeting. See that
a competent and honest man is elected
to fill this position. Do not accept
treasurer should should have two or
more bondsmen. Officers must quail
ify within 20 days, but it is better to
attend to that matter before the meet
ing adjourns. The question as to
whether the teacher shall be a lady or
gentleman is unimportant. 1t is better
to instruct the board to employ the best
teacher they can find. The school
house furniture and out buildings should
be Inspected and the repairs and ap-
Paratus to be purchased during the
year should be determined. Do not
allow any agent to talk you into the
notion of buying expensive apparatus.
If you wish to purchase any such thing
can refer you to responsible dealers
who will save you money.
A library tax of mill on the taxable
property of the average district will be
sufficient to provide all the library books
the school will need in one year and ii.
will be more beneficial than any guam
tity of apparatus. Make your school
house as attractive as possible. See
that there is plenty of good blackboard.
You can get the slate board at 22 to Is
cents per foot. The out buildings
should be cleaned and placed in good
condition and then hold your teacher
responsible for the proper care of them
during school time.-School Visitor.

The opposition insists that the tariff
must not be the Issue. Four years
ago it was the greatest issue. What's
the matter?-Tribune.
NOTHING in the world the matter,
except that the voters four years ago
settled the tariff issue by the largest
popular vote ever cast in a presiden.
tial election. Nothing is the matter
with the tariff issue except that it is q
back number. The people are salts
fed to let that defunct issue alone, for
the reason that they are willing to
give present tariff laws a chance to
prove whether or not they are any
good, and viii devote this year to
settling the more important issue of
finances. Let your big guns come
into this country and attempt to talk
high tariff and ignore the silver coin
age issue, and see what cold recep-
tion they will receive.

AS WILL be seen by the proceed
ings of the city council meeting last
Monday evening les DEMOCRAT was
made the official city paper for the
year ending July 1897. We desire
to assure the mayor and council that
their favor in thus recognizing the
DEMOCRAT they can depend upon it
that the interests of the city will not
suffer in that direction, and that they
will not be called upon to pay any

EVERY ounce OF silver that might
be shipped to this country by foreign.
ers under free coinage of silver would
add that much to our circulating
medium. If free coinage makes silver
worth more in the United States than
elsewhere, it will be shipped here for
coinage; and when coined into Ameri-
can dollars it will be put to work in
this country-invested in some sort of
industries, put out at interest, etc.
It would not be taken back, for the
very simple reason that it would have
only bullion value when taken out
of this country. Let the foreigner
bring his silver here-we have got
produce to exchange for it, or indus
tries to invest it in.
Mr.. Stoke and Mr.. Armstrong, hav-
ing no difference of opinion on politi-
cal questions, have tackled each other
on music. Mr.. Stoke is a disciple of
the Arkansas Traveller" and sticks to
"Rye Straw and "Nigger in the
Wood Pile" while Dir. Armstrong
keeps up with Paderewski classics.
The voices of these two newspapers
are SO nearly alike that the public can
distinguish no difference, one having
"barytone, the other a "baritone.
They play the same horn, Silver
instrument with range from E fiat
to trombone, producing com bination
of sounds, and each accuses the other
of making discordant strains. This
is the result of trying to unite the old
and the new schools of music.-Trlb.
une.
THAT'S about the smartest thing
Bro. Townsley has written lately. He
should have admitted, however, that
either silver instrument makes very
good music for Barton county voters;
and that up until but a few short
weeks ago he himself was blowing the
popular silver horn-until Mark
Hanna said he should dircard it and
toot the golden instrument. We will
also leave it to Judge Townsley if our
"baritone" is not accepted as correct
by musical writer's in general.

lesson that will appeal TO the patriot
