1t seemed to us the height of folly
for man to vote for the gold stand
ard who was unable to pay his debts
in the cheaper money. We have on
our books the names of many who
voted for the 200-cent dollar, who are
unable to pay us in the 50-cent dol
lar, which they so abhor. The So
cent dollar will be satisfactory here,
so please roll them In, gentlemen.
Out in North Dakota the climate is
so healthful that the physicians find
it difficult to keep the ravenous wolf
from prowl;ng about their doors,
the schoolboards in some of
the most healthful villages require a
certificate from a physician for each
child after having had measles before
being permitted to return to school.
The fee is one dollar for each pupil
and in towns where the disease has
been prevalent some OF the physicians
will probably be enabled to weather
the winter.
Why not have lecture conrse for
Cresco this winter? A committee of
our citizens to confer with the peop,e
Of McGregor. Deoorah and Austin
with like committees at each OF these
places conld arrive at an understand
ng whereby some one or more of the
ecture bureaus OF the country would
supply the four places With lecturer
who could fill the four appointments
Turing the same week, giving enter
5ainmeut and instruction upon topics
of Interest at rates which would bring
he course within the reach of the
our cities without being burden to
either. What do our newspaper
,eighbors say to the suggestion? For
| committee in the matter tor Cresco
We suggest Aug. Beadle with Rev.
Holmes and Leslie. If our
,eighbors of the press approve will
hey suggest and name like commit
ee to confer with ours.
Four of the young men engaged in
he destruction of property, tearing
lown signs and removing lamp posts
N Halloween night are now known.
The public wants to know why they
re not punished as they deserve and
made an example of? They ask ii II
here is a virtue in criminal acts
vhcn committed by the "respeotable"
lass that could not be tolerated in
he lower or disorderly class? If ,
here is a sort of divine halo thrown
yer criminal acts when committed by
he sons of the well-to-do, that could
ot be overlooked whan committed by
he sons of the lahoring menp And
ow We shall expect a flood of in
uiries as to our reason for with
olding the names of the guilty par
les. We expect to have to tell our
1terrogators why the Plain Dealer
ields its independence to "respect-
bility'' in the commission of crime.
Ihat shall we say? We ask the
athers of these young mena Shall
q refer our inteprosators to yous
