Brother Hoisington. who makes up
the goldbug plate matter for the
Register, was asked-as was all the
other editors of the county-ro pub
lish the call for the meeting Saturday
night to organize the Bryan Free Sill
yer Club. The Great Bend Tribune.
Clafin Leader and Hoisington Dis
patch editors each had the courtesy to
comply with the request. But the
Register man was the only anti-free
silver editor in the county who was too
small to do SO. People continue to
ask: "What is the old Register good
for, anyhow" and they only think of
its usefulness when they go out to the
building at the other end of the
clothes.line.

THERE is now little doubt but that
all the elements in this county in
favor of the free coinage of silver will
be able to work together harmoniously
for the assured success of the peoples
cause. Democrats and populists gen.
orally express themselves as willing to
lay aside partnership and to work
together for q common ticket, thus
presenting solid and unbroken oppo.
sition to the republican ticket backed
az it will be by Hanna's money. Both
parties will meet in county delegate
convention in this city on Aug. 22d.
and each party will select it's candi-
dates for the positions as agreed upon
by the two committees. A large
number of free silver republicans
througout the county are with us in
the support of this NEW Declaration
OF Independence and it looks as if the
vote in Barton county will be practi-
cally unanimous for Bryan and Free
Silver.

The senate and the Monroe Doctrine

1t is more than probable that this week
a debate upon the Monroe doctrine. and
some formal deliverance on the subject.
The Sewel resolution is on the table in
the body, and the Davis resolution. which
was drafted along the lines of the Lodge
resolution, will. as altered I'm the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, be reported
Monday. 1t is serious question whether
or not the adoption OF either the Sewell
or the Davis resolution would not be
swinging too far from a safe basis
swinging too far, indeed, from the real
Monroe doctrine. The first goes as far
to one extreme as the second does 10 The
other. The Sewell resolution. in some
OF its provisions. suggests hedging. If not
back-down. while the Davis resolution,
as we understand II. is cast iron, and con-
veys the idea Of unnecessary jingoism.
Mr. Turple, I'm the Committee on Foreign
Relations. favored the application Of the
Monroe doctrine TO the pending trouble
over the Venezuelan question, but doubted
the expediency or wisdom of its aftrma-
ton by Congress as a general principle.
and Mr.. Gray took the ground uiat the

We shall certainly extend a cordial invi-

in view Of the fact that the last two State
conventions have been held in Richmond,
we doubt II II would be good policy on
our part 10 go into a wrangle. II, how
ever. the state Committee thinks that 1t
would be to the advantage OF the party
to hold the convention here rather than
in Staunton. Norfolk. Petersburg, Lynch

have a hearty welcome, and all arrange
ments necessary or desirable for its COM

our party authorities have not as yet
had the matter under consideration at all.
Four years ago the Chicago convention
was held on June DIST, and the Richmond
convention was held on May 18th. Our
State Committee deemed it wise to have
at least one months time between the
two conventions. This year the national
convention will be held on July 18th, and
should the State Committee be Of the
same opinion this year that it was in
1892. the State Democratic Convention
would be held on or about Thursday,
June 4th.

The facts stated By Major Norman V.
Randolph night before last In his al
dress at the opening OF Lee Camp
new hall are worthy to be remembered.
The Board Of Visitors OF the Soldiers
Home which IS merely committee
from Lee Camp finding some opposi-
ton TO their appeal for an appropria-
ton OF 10000 year, to provide for 200
men. some years ago, made propo-
sition TO the State that, II II would
enter into a contract to appropriate So"0
a year for period of twenty-five
years. at the expiration OF that time
the home should become the property
of the State Major Randolph declared
las he was well justified in DOING that
at the expiration OF this time the State
will be able to sell the twenty-seven
acres Of land and reimburse itself Tor
every dollar It has appropriated TO pro-
vide for this institution.
In eleven years the State Of Virginia
has appropriated for the maintenance OF
the Soldiers Home s173.s5.55, while Lee
Camp and its friends have appropriated
af95s3.9L Veterans have been received
into this home from seventy-seven coun-
ties and fourteen cities Of this state. and
ninety-nine men from other States. More
than one thousand men from the
opening of the institution TO December
81. 1895. have found shelter and protec-
ton from the cold charities OF the world.
The income was intended for but 200 men,
and to-day the home has 25S inmates, Of
whom ffty-six are in the hospi Al for
treatment
Besides the appropriation made by this
camp for the support Of the Soldiers
Home. Lee Camp has spent more than
$4,000 in relieving widows and orphans,
and such Confederate soldiers as are
so situated that they cannot be adj
mitted to the home. The Ladies Auxili-
AIRY Of Lee Camp have spent more
than $4,000 Adding the three amounts
together. it is seen that Lee Camp has
appropriated more than the entire amount
given by the State Besides. 1t has
spent large sum Of money here at
monument dwellings, Confederate re-
unions. etc.
These pregnant facts should incline the
Legislature TO be- as liberal rs possible
in aid Of Lee Camp Soldiers Home.
We have never heard taxpayer utter
a word of complaint that money was
appropriated to this purpose. Its bene-
fits extend TO soldiers from all parts Of
Virginia. Besides, it should be plea
sure TO our State to help Lee Camp.
because Lee Camp has given so bounti-
fully Of its own means.
