The Chicago Records commission of
investigation to Mexico have completed
their work. The Record sums up the
result editorially, and among other
things says:
IA disadvantage resulting from the
silver standard in Mexico is that the
fluctuation of the standard of value
gives rise to speculation and causes II
high rate of interest. Another disad-
vantage is that the depreciation of sill
yer has led to an increase of taxation
because the government obligations are
paid in gold, and hence 1t requires more
silver money to pay given amount of
debt than it did formerly"
The commission was composed of one
silver man and one gold man. both of
great ability, and upon the above prop
osition hath agreed.

The last two Popocratic roorbacks
that have been placed in circulation up
to the present writing have both been
proven forgeries. One is 1, letter pre-
sumed to have been written by Samuel
q. Presley, of Boston, TO George F..
Patrick, of Pueblo, COL, in which the
silly statement is made that if McKin-
ley is elected he will increase the stand
ing army to 100000 men in order to
protect the trusts. No man by that
name can be found in Boston. The
other one is letter said to have been
written by Major Mckinley to man
named Sigourney, in which it is made
to appear that the major is opposed to
pensions. This letter is rank fraud
on the face of it, for it is signed "Wm.
Mckinley whereas at that time the
major always signed his name "Wm.
Mckinley, Jr," Both are rank forger-
les, but the Popocrats have circulated
them in pamphlet form by the hun
dreds of thousands. AS election day
grows nearer, there will be more of
these forgeries. All should be on the
lookout for them.

The people OF Liberty township vote
on the question a town hall-yes or no.

Last year the Republicans OF Perrys-
burg township gave to G. A. Hampton,
the Democratic nominee for Treasurer,
a handsome popular vote in his home
township as n compliment TO the gen
tleman. The Democrats now have an
opportunity to return the compliment
by sending Joe Baird out of Perrysburg
with majority largely increased over
that of his first election. It's only II
fair exchange OF courtesies and will not
interfere with any persons opinion on
the gold or sllyer questions. Give the
Perrysburg boy a letter OF recommend
alton to the world by means of a sp(cn-
did majority from his old home and
friends. Don't forget Joe E. Baird for
Clerk.

The Republican meeting at the town
hall last Friday night was splend I'd
success. The hall was we'll filled and
the best of attention given the able
exposition OF the political issue by eX-
speaker l., q. Laylin, who gave com
plete exposure of the money legislation
of the country from Its beginning to
the present time, showing conclusvely
the impossibility of any country main
taining safe currency by the unlim-
tied free coinage OF silver at the ratio
of 16 to ]. The Ladies' Mckinley
Quartette of Weston graced the occa-
sion with their presence and favored
the audience with several campaign
songs. They will also be present at
the meeting this friday evening.

Journal, may have two sides to it:

The following from the Perrysburg
Journal, may have two sides to it:
On Monday morning just after the
Bryan train pulled out from the station
Hon. Leander G. Cole, who has been
shedding the silvery light of his coun-
tenance upon the assembled multitude
p) of Republicans and Democrats, arose
To the summit of his eloquence and
announced that the crowd was larger
than that which assembled at the Vet
ern Quartette of Generals at Bowling
Green last Saturday. His remarks
were heard by an old veteran in whose
loyal heart the fire of patriotism still
the charge and gave the lie to the gen
tleman from Bowling Green, who never
dared to asked for satisfaction, while the
old veteran was cheered by the people.
Mr.. Cole says the man who took up
the charge may have been a Republi-
can or he may have been Democrat,
but he thinks the man was rather rude
in his remarks. MIR. Cole is good
citizan; he is a Democrat and a free sill
yerite and has right to his opinion,
and should haYe right to express it.,
and even If he was mistaken in the size
of the crowd--and we have reason TO
believe he was-he should not be abused
for expressing that opinion. Probably
the old veteran was little over enthu-
siastlc, and didn't mean to be harsh.-
B. q. Tribane.
Your sympathy for Mr.. Cole is sim,
ply wonderful, and while your claim OF
rudeness on the part of the veteran may
be all right under ordinary circum-
stances, in this instance it has no foun
dation. Mr.. Cole certainly has right
to his opinion on all questio MS, hut he
has no more right to make mistatements
in an assaulting manner in the face O
Republicans, than had the old veteran
in his reply thereto. The JOURNAL
and the citizens of Perrysburg have
great respect for Mr.. Cole, but wher
he forgets himself sufficiently to make
false statements in an insulting manner
he certainly must expect just such
treatment as he received. He vii
make more friends by taking his medi
cine without whimpering about 1t.

G. G. Gundy has been Commissioner
of Wood county for nearly three years.
During this time much work has been
accomplished by the board of Commits
sioners, yet through all the troublous
times Mr.. Gundy has never failed to do
what he believed to be his duty and the
people are satisfied of his honesty and
integrity. Chris. is plain, hardwork-
ing honorable citizen, never afraid to
take stand for what he believes to he
right; he has been an excellent official
during his first term and is truly worthy
OF the reelection which he will cer-
tainly receive.

2 Is there any one who does not know
Sheriff Dick Biggs? Guess not. Is
there Il Republican in the county who
will vote against him? Certainly not.
Are there any Democrats who will vote
for him? There certainly are, and
they are very numerous. And there is
reason for it all. The fact is Dick
Biggs has made himself very popular
in all parts OF the county and with all
classes OF people, by his excellent ad-
ministration OF the affairs of his impor-
tant office. He is terror to evil doers
and faithful watchman of the interests
of honorable citizens.

one of the most court,ou careful and
accommodating officials the county has
ever had and is worthy of reelection
by an increased vote.

Of this state to the battleship
Texas
This action on the part OF the
governor was suggested by the
fact that a testimonial OF some
kind has been customary in all
cases where the cruisers of the
navy have been named after cities
and battleships after states. Each
city and state so honored has pre-
sented the vessel with handsome
silver service, or some other testi-
monial, and Texas should not hest
tate to take like action, especially
as the battleship named for her is
the grandest ship in the navy, and
the first one named for a state.
In order to render the subscrip-
tion as nearly as possible represen-
tative Of all our people, this COM
mittee has decided to address it.
self by circular to one or more cit
liens in each city and town in the
state, asking them to solicit SUBJ
scriptions in their place and neigh
borhood for limited sum as a
contribution to the fund to be
raised for the object indicated.
1t is assumed by this committee
that the object Of this subscription
will be deemed sufficiently worthy
and patriotic to interest the best
sentiment of our people, and at
tain the object easily, without tax
ing anyone more than mere trifle.
Hoping that our efforts to carry
out Governor Culberson's inten-
tions, and accomplish an object
that is to rebound to the credit of
Texas, will meet with a hearty CO.
operation on the part Of the peo-
pie, we are,

The bill..was referred to General
Miles for his consideration, but

He Says the Middle of the Street is the
Place for Sewers-Court News.
Consulting Engineer S. M. Gray
was put on the stand in the injunc-
ton case in the Thirty-seventh
District court this morning. AS
regards laying sewers in the center
of the streets he said that this is
the general rule. He said that in
Providence sewers are laid in the
center OF the streets and that miles
Of railway have been torn up for
that purpose. He stated that IL
sewers are placed on the sides of
the streets they would be in closer
proximity with gas mains, and
that il the gas pipes leaked
the gas would enter the sewers. He
said that he designed the sewers to
be laid in the middle Of the streets
of this city, and he is sorry to say
that they are not in the middle of
the streets everywhere in the city.
Mr.. Gray stated that sewers are
laid in the center Of the streets in
order to obtain the best results and
that it is highly preferable to have
them in the center.
1t Is expected the case will be
finished this afternoon.

MT Bryan's lecture season appears to have opened auspiciously. He had a house full to overfowing at 50 cents a head, and there seems to be no req son why the Boy Orator of the Platte should not make very pretty pot of money on the lecture platform during the present winter. Mr. Bryan is a shrewd man, and probably it is not necessary to remind him that now is the time for him to take advantage of the notoriety he has achieved, and to put money in his purse. The longer he waits the less money he is likely to take in.

Jealousy is a key that opens many wedlocks.
 It is called angel food" because an gels don't eat it.
 Parrots aren't as lacking as women in a sense of humor.
 Some marriages are like jug handles -one-sided affairs.
 Satch-as-catch-ca is the old maid s matrimonial motto.
 Women claim they do lots of things for their husbands sakes
 A mans best friend is the one who marries the girl who tilted him.
 Married men do not live longer than single ones-it only seems longer.
 The last word is said to be the most dangerous. Show this to your wife.
