Advertise the Country.

Now is the time when some good,
judicious advertising of our county
with view of encouraging immi-
grafton ought to be done. There
IS every indication that there will
be large exodus from the east
during the next year, of people
who have become tired of the rig
ors of that climate, and who will
be hunting something milder. We
can supply their wants, not only as
70 climate, but also as to cheap
homes, fertility Of sotl, nealness to
market and variety of products,
and all the advantages which fol-
low these things. If we but take
the pains and go to little expense
and set the many and varied re-
sources before the people of the
east, we will largely profit thereby.
Lincoln county wants settlers,
wants home-builders, wants people
with moderate amount of means,
and the east is full of people who
fill all of these requirements who
are anxious and willing 10 come.
But we must call their attention tc
these advantages or they will never
be discovered except in isolated i'll
stances. Give Lincoln county 6
truthful, judicious advertising ant
she will get scores of new settlers
with meaus to buy their homes
within the next year.

PNYing q Dividend.

The work of paying off the final
dividend in the Job bank assign
lnent is in progress, says the Cor
wallis Times of last Saturday. 1t
began yesterday, and several credi
tors have already received their bal
ances. IL all there are 4o5 persons
who participate i'll the distribution,
and though the creditors principally
reside i'll Benton county, some Of
them are scattered in various parts
of the country, and their checks
have to be sent them by mail. The
total amount of the final dividend
is $9a, ,oo2, sufficient to pay ten and
one-half per cent, making the ag-
gregate per cent paid by the bank
forty and one-half.
Creditors are universally glad
that the end has come. The fna
outcome is better than many o
them have expected; not so good az
others hoped it would be. 1t is, o
course, bad enough. Banks tina
receive the deposits of confdinl
customers are supposed to represon
safety and solidity. Too often, a
in this case, they are fragile struct
ures, houses built on sand.

-N-to4-4. !.

A vast amount of stone passed
through this city during the week.
1t was Pioneer stone, some cut and
some in the rough. The cut stone
went to Gray's Harbor, Washing
ton, while that uncut was for the

Gray's Harbor is to be used i'll the
government works there, while the
o. c. & +. will use theirs in forti-
flying some of their bridge piers. II
seems that Pioneer is getting quite
famous as a stone quarry, if one is
to judge by the amount sent abroad.

country editor has in order to get
out readable local paper these
dull times. Out of six of our bus

is to print all the news we can get

The City Jail is again tenantless
and empty. Last Saturday night
the lone occupant thereof, Loomis,
who was bound over for obtaining
money under false pretenses, con-
cluded that he had stayed in Jail
long enough, and with the aid of
spike nail stick ofstovewood and
and the stovelid litter he managed
to pry the staple off of the door and
thus secure his way TO liberty.
When the attendant took his break
fast to him Sunday morning he
found the Jail empty. Before he
bid farewell to the Jail Loomis left
letter i'll which he kindly thanked
the sheriff and Deputy Ross for
their universal kindness during his
six weeks sojourn under their care.
The Jail in which Loomis was con-
fined is the city Jail, and has also
been Used by the county. 1t is
solidly built and the door staple
was the weak point, as the prisoner
soon discovered.

The war indemnity to be paid by
France to Germany at the conclus-
ion of the Franco Prussian war o
1870 and 1871 was the largest de-
manded by one nation from another,
being no less than 5000, 900, 900 of
francs, to be paid in different install
ments, the Germans to evacuate one
portion of French territory after an
other at each installment until the
whole was paid. Some idea of the
wealth of the French nation may be
gained from the fact that this enor-
nous sum was more than subscribed
to at once, and in a few months the
territory of France was entirely rid
of the German troops.

RALLY AT PIEDMONT.
The Bryan Silver Club Hold a
ROusing Meeting.

Piedmont's S only public hall was
crowded to the doors Monday night
to listen to the gospel of the COM
mon people as advocated by the re-
presentatives of the Bryan Silver
Club OF this city. Tilford, Doyle,
Runkle and other neighboring camps
turned out and showed their interest
in the leading issue of this cam
paign. Hon. w. V. Doyle was
chosen chairman of the meeting and
introduced G. L. Wood of this CITY
as first speaker. For over an hour
and half Mr.. Wood reviewed the
monetary history of this country
and showed how the people had
been robbed of one half their debt
paying power by the demonetization
OF silver and closing with ringing
appeal for all to stand by w. J.
Bryan and the money OF the consti-
tuition, demonstrating the fact tnat
only through the rehabilitation of
the white metal could prosperity be
restored.
Judge Levi McGee was the next
speaker and he was accorded the
best kind OF a hearing. His argu-
ment in favor of free coinage was
clear, convincing and to the point
and he was frequently interrupted
by bursts Of applause. The Judge
was on his mettle and made one Of
the best talks of the campaign so
far.
At the close Of the meeting steps
were taken to organize Bryan clubs
at Doyle, Tilford and Piedmont. IF

Consistency, Thou Art a Jewel

1t takes good deal of nerve for a
republican paper to criticise the
free silver advocates for inconsis-
tency as did the Journal in Thurs
day mornings paper in referring to
an article on the effect of free silver
on the wage Garner which appeared
in the EVENING HERALD OF Wednes
day. Passing the article for the
present we wish to point out some
of the most glaring inconsistencies
and contradictions in the arguments
made against free silver in this cam
paign by the advocates of the single
standard.
First: They start out with a
most solemn declaration in their
platform for bimetalism by interna-
tional agreement, and then all
their speakers and newspapers pro-
ceed to present an argument not
against independent action, but
against bi-metalism. They seem to
be at sea as to the result. One set
argues that an increase of silver
means a great imitation of prices and
reduction of the value of the dollar
and hence unfair and dishonest to
the creditor class, and another class
assert with equal solemnity that it
will contract the currency by driv-
ing the gold out of circulation and
thus do violation to the debtors.
Just how it can work both ways we
are unable to understand.
Second: They tell the laboring
man that an increase in the circu-
lation means an increase in the price
of everything he has to buy as COM
modities raise much more rapidly
than wages and hence it is MUST to
him, yet they have pledged them
selves to do this by international
agreement.
Third: They tell the pensioner
that his pension will not be in
creased under free silver but tho
price Of every thing he has to buy
will be, Notwithstanding they have
pledged the party to free silver un-
der an international agreement.
Remember that there would be no
difference in the effect upon the price
OF things as to whether we have free
coinage Independently or by inter-
national agreement
Fourth: They also assert that no.
body will be benefited by free silver
but the great millionaire silver mine
owners, and yet they have the au-
dacity to state that the silver dollar
will be worth but fifty cents under
free coinage. The mine owner gets
fifty cents for the silver in dollar
now, if their position is correct how
will they be benefited? But don't t
forget that they have pledged them
selves to assist these awful mine
owners by INTERNATIONAL AGREE
MENT.
Consistency! Ye Gods. *x*

REPUBLICANS DO RATIPY,
The Hon. Edwin VanCise, of Dead
wood, the Speaker.
REPORTS CHICAGO CONVENTION.
Marriage with the Visionary,
Fanatical Old Woman
at st. Louis

The Mckinley club of this city, as
previously advertised, held it's first
rally Monbay evening at Library
Hall. Early in the evening the
martial band and soon after the
Graves Family band put in an ap-
pearance upon our main streets and
paocceeded to drum up crowd. In
this they were very successful and
proceeding to the hall the program
prepared by the club was put nnder
way. The hall had been appropri-
ately decorated with flags, bunting,
ETC., while to the left of the stage
hung the picture of Mr.. Mckinley
with that of Mr.. Hobart appearing
at the right.
The brass band gave another Sc
lection after which a Mr., Lee fav-
ored the audience with a humorous
recitation. This took so we'll that
he was called back for another.
Chairman Cliff then took the floor
and in a short preliminary address
spoke of the absence of Captain
Lucas who had been billed to speak
that evening but was called else
where by the sudden serious illness
OF his wife. He then introduced
Hon. Edwin VanCise. of Deadwood,
as the speaker for the evening.
Mr.. VanCise proved himself to be
a very fluent speaker, if not logi-
cal one, and if had had different
subject-such as the tariff, etc.-or
been upon the other side Of the one
he did tackle, might have done very
we'll; but ''having to fight the en-
emy upon their own ground" he was
decidedly at a disadvantage.
He started out by stating that
would devote his attention to and
enlighten his hearers upon the finan-
cial question, as that was the burn
ing question OF the hour. lie then
proceeded to devote considerable
time in giving his hearers detailed
report of the Chicago convention,
stating what was done, how it was
did, and why they done did it.
Their action seemed to bother and
worry the gentleman, interfering
not a lite with his speech as he
would constantly refer to the con-
vention and in a sad and pitiful
strain bewail what he was pleased
to consider the inconsistency on the
part of time honored democracy. He
said they (the democrats were &C
cused by the populists of having
stolen their thunder and stated that
to be fact and spoke of this action
on the part Of democracy as a court
ing of the pops which resulted in
the marriage of the gallant old gen
tleman with the Missionary, fanati-
cal, socialistic, anarchistical old
woman at St. Louis, in his eyes a
most lamentable fact
When the speaker did finally find
time to throw in a few remarks on
silver was at one moment showing
to his hearers how that metal had
at one time by it's use as money
been greatly appreciated in value
thus making it very dishonest
money, and then at the next moment
would declare just as stoutly that it
could not aud would not, under any
circumstances be appreciated by
such action. While appreciated
silver would make a dishonest dol
lar in his eyes, appreciated gold was
perfectly honest. In striving to dis
| cuSS the money 0n6StiOO and l.

1t Wasn't the Tar,ff.

If the reports from tI. EL>t be true it
appears that there is no necessity for
changing the tariff. We are told that
factories thai have been closed iOI months
have resumed operations, and that others
that we're run on short time are now run
ming on full time.
What is the cause of this business re-
vival? We were told before election that
the reduction of about IL per cent in the
tariff schedules caused by the Wilson bill
was responsible for the dull times and
now we are informed that factories have
resumed Notwithstanding the Wilson act,
and that a wave Of prosperity is sweeping
the country. Surely if this is a fact no
tariff tinkering will be necessary at the
ensuing session Of Congress. If there is
such a great business revival as the Hanna
organs claim, there is not much necessity
for meddling with the tariff. though in
