The times don't let up very much
an their hardness; and they will not
as long as we import over hundred
million dollars worth of goods every
year which we ought to produce our
selves, and borrow gold to pay run
ming expenses Of the government.
Times will grow no better while ten
twelfths of the people are pinching
and scrimping to keep expenses
down to the lowest possible limit
and so reducing the home market
twenty, thirty and even fifty per
cent. Times will grow no better till
the gate is shut again and our home
people can have their own home
markets. When that comes to pass
there will be wages to buy with, the
scrimping will let up, the average
man will again become a general con-
sumner and a good customer, the
tide of business will rise in all the
channels Of trade and manufacture,
and the nightmare of hard times and
business stagnation, and of borrow
ing money to buy daily bread in pri-
vate and public life, will disappear.
And all this will start toward accom-
plishment when the national Repub-
lican convention meets in June,
again lifts up its banner inscribed
protection, reciprocity and stable
currency" and gives it into the
hands OF VIM. Mckinley to carry on
TO the greatest victory the party has
ever achieved. : Whitewater Register.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL Is, 1896.
Mayor MOak,S Bic Vote.


To extract blood from turnip is not
an easy matter, but it seems no more
unreasonable than the attempt of The
Gazette to find comfort in the result
crowed Justify over the success of it's
candidate for mayor, as if something
had been accomplished by its party
quite out of the usual order of events,
and as if it were the first time that a
Democratic mayor had ever been elect
ed IN this city. Possibly its surprise
that the party did not meet it's we'll
merited defeat is the cause of its jubi-
liant feeling, though this is very cheap
qualification when we remember that
never before, with the single excep-
ton of last year, did the Democrats
fail to elect their party candidate.
Mr. Moak, although unsuccessful. has
much to be proud of. and to use a
hackneyed phrase can point with
pride" to his magnificent support
which came to him freely and volun-
tarily, without money and without
price" Considering the absolute quiet
which pervaded the Republican ranks
sand the extraordinary efforts made by
the opposition, the only wonder is that
the Democratic majority was not very
much larger The vote was the heavi-
lest ever given at q spring election. and
fell only Il behind that cast for presi-
dent four years ago, when Cleveland
rS4Cel we'd ,3l2 and Harrison 396, DEM
ecrza.ic majority of 9l6. Last week
MIR Rack received only 947 votes,
while Mr.. Moak received 720, a major
jty Of 227 for Mr. Rack. or 500 less
sna1Drity than Cleveland received in
1892 Carrying the comparisons still
further and taking the wards IN which
the two candidates reside, we find
shat Mr. Moak's ward (the First gave
Cleveland 1877 majority and now gave
Mr.. Moak 43, a difference of170ir favor
of Mr.. Moak. In Mr.. Racks ward
{the Third) Cleveland received ma
5ority of 76 and last week Mr.. Rack
came out of it only SO ahead, Mr.. Moak
being the gamer by 43. We do not treat
these as Republican gains or Democrat
&c losses, for much of Mr.. MOak's sup
port came from Democrats who in ma
tional politics will be found voting the
party ticket. They simply favored
Mr.. Moak on non-partisan grounds and
because they deemed him entitled to
their votes by reason of having dis
charged his duties as mayor with so
much satisfaction to the people that no
one assailed his ad ADMINISTRATION IN any
respect. He went down 70 defeat man
fully, victim of party prejudice, and
at the behest of the Democratic leaders
who sounded the war CRY that this was
the preliminary skirmish for next
falls fight and that it is no year for a
Republican mayor in such a Democrat
&C stronghold. Under such circum
stances, and in view OF the desperate
methods employed to compass his
defeat, the handsome vote received by
Mr. Moak is one of the surprises of the
campaign.

fitted close to the wrist by means OF hooks
and loops or buttons and buttonholes.
Ordinary sleeves leave none of the wrist
uncovered, and the medieval sleeve partly
covers the hand. A frill of lace Is usually
placed inside this sleeve. The portion
which extends upon the hand must be

Funeral of Daisy Clay
ton Held Sunday
Afternoon.
A Large Number Present.
New Form OF Government For
Their village.

The funeral OF poor little Daisy Clay
ton was held Sunday afternoon from
Grace M. Il. church, Rev. VIC. Hicks
officiating. The church was crowded.
Floral pieces had been sent in by several
persons and on Friday some little girl
coming TO see the remains as they lay at
krellwitz's Undertaking establishment,
lett lying on the casket a valentine. All
the little visitors heart was in that token
oil sympathy. 1t was buried with the I'M
fortunate victim OF a fathers cruelty.
During the days the remains OF the
murdered girl lay at Krellwitz's estab-
ishment they were visited by large
number, both ofthecurious and sympath-
etic. The numerous marks OF violence
and the evident suffering and abuse the
Door girl had undergone, OF course, were
in everyone's mouth and feeling OF de-
termination not to leave anything I'M
done to obtain justice was engendered.
so that when the physicians report was
heard at the inquest that the cause OF
death was not the wounds, so plainly
showing on the little wasted body, but
really starvation, many were afraid that
by some technicality the brute, who had
the little one in charge, would escape be-
cause no specific act of violence could be
proved as the immediate cause OF death.
With this idea several visited the Justice
asking that the body be kept later than
Saturday for another examination until
the matter could be laid before the prose-
cutting attorney.
That official said that any physician
could visit the body that pleased but that
the authorities were satisfied with the
post norton. Another post norton OF
course could not be made. The prose-
cutting attorney Quoted the demand for
additional examination and there was
none made.
At the inquest but few questions were
asked the doctors. DR.. Wheeler stated
that, taken in connection with the ply 81
cal condition Of the child, the blows ii
had received would undoubtedly hasten
death, but alone they would not be at all
the cause. Deliberately starving child
to death is as much murder as killing it
by any other means and the marks Of
violence are important as corroborative
evidence OF cruelty and deliberate inten-
ton.

There are several OF the leading bust
ness men OF the village OF Hancock fgur-
ing on the advantages OF a city govern
ment for the town instead OF the present
municipal system. Since the western ad-
ditions, the Osceola, Condon's the Han
cock mining company's, ETC., have been
Incorporated, the village has consider
ably more than enough inhabitants re-
quired by statute to adopt a city govern
ment. The decision OF the matter lies
with the qualified electors and, under
the general charter passed by the last
legislature and under which the Hancock
village government now derives it's au-
thority, there is no necessity OF applying
to the legislature to make such change.
The charter provides for the manner OF
proceeding. which is as follows: A petit
ton signed by 100 voters is presented to
the village board OF trustees asking them
to take such steps as are proper toward
changing from village to city form OF
government. The trustees must grst
satisfy themselves that the town con-
tains the number OF Inhabitants required
and il all conditions are in this opinion
favorable the matter must be submitted
at the annual spring election.
This matter may come up at the meet
| ing OF the Business Mems Association
called for tomorrow evening when the
opinion OF large number may be Sc
cured. The advantages OF city form
of government will be canvassed and by
the time the gentlemen that are now
thinking of the matter get ready to act
the people t. whom the proposition will
finally come will have made up their
minds and be able to vote intelligently
upon it.
One OF the advantages may now appea
strongly TO some sections OF the proposed
city. IL is that by the division into
wards all portions OF the town will have
an equal chance OF representation in thu
council, while at present it may happier
that all OF the trustees may come from
one block. Hancock would be entitled
to divide into four and perhaps fiv'
wards and in the council each ware
would have two aldermen.

ASSERTING METAL MONEY.
Odd Specimens That Are In the National
Treasury.

"Immense quantities of subsidiary and
minor coins are continually flowing In TO
as, said a treasury official recently, ito
be exchanged for notes. The coins, which
we receive from all over the country, are
assorted into 'lt' and unfit The latter
We do not send out again for circulation.
At the same time the standard Of fitness
is somewhat variable. If the appropriation
for the minis has run short and we have
10 big quantity OF new coins to draw on,
we are Obliged to pass pieces which would
otherwise DO withdrawn and transferred
to the melting pot. AT all times we pick
out for rejection all coins that are mutt
lated in any manner. This applies even
to pieces which have paper stuck on them.
Within the last three or four years the
practice of FASTING advertisements On one
side OF silver dollars has been popular with
merchants, particularly in the west. The
paste employed is of so excellent quality
that to remove the 'stickers, as they are
called, Is next to impossible. Soaking in
warm water has no effect on them. OF
course we have not tlme.to devote to such
a task, and so we just throw them out.
1.-THE ingenuity exercised by people in
the DETACHMENT OF the coins of the realm
Is really remarkable. Shopkeepers will
stamp their firm names upon silver dollars
with steel dies. The advertisement Is ex-
cellently conceived, but the value of the
coin is destroyed except as bullion. Many
persons make practice Of cutting coins
with knife TO make Fure that they are
good. The test may prove them all right,
but 1t renders the coin unredoemable.
Other persons scratch the pieces with
sharp instruments-for what purpose l
am unable to say. The result, however,
is the same. We return oil mutilated and
counterfeit coins to the depositor. In
every case the depositor is requested to
send them back TO the treasury. IL no
fails to do so, no more are returned to him
out of subsequent consignments. Coun-
terfeit coins we mark in such way that
It Is hardly possible to use them again.
They are cut half through from one edge.
As for mutilated pieces, the owners can
dispose of them only by selling them for
such metal. The minis will buy mutilated
coins In quantities like any other bullion. 2"

SPEED OF ANIMALS.
The Greyhound Leads the Van, Followed
by the Horse and the Red Deer.


Tho following interesting letter con-
corning the relative speed of animals ap-
peared in late issue Of the London Field
The fastest animal we have is the grey
hound. The next are the race horse, the
red deer and the hare and then comes the
good, big, bold dog fox, which Is fine
galloper on good going. In comparison
with any of the above the fastest foxhound
on sound flat turf is as slow as u man
moving grass for haymaking. But II you
radically alter the trial ground the above
does not hold good. For instance, on
rough clods, whether melted or not, hare
cannot run at all; hence she generally
takes care not to go there, and where
greyhoun6s are kept she habitually lies in
her form near the fringe of "A rough fallow,
that when coursed she may quickly be on
good going. With such long, powerful
hind legs a hare can beat anything up n
steep hill. A foxhound can easily beat
any horse over deep clay plow because tho
horse weighs as much as - hounds, and
therefore sinks deeply. In stag hunting
the red deer tires earlier than tho blood
hunter, though the horse may not be fast
er, but great consideration must be made
for the discretion of n good horseman, who
avoids exhausting deep ground. which the
