A.PREDlcAnENT.

AS was predicted in the columns
of this paper previous to the cleo
tion, rhat should Mr.. Stockstill be
elected the Office woulh ultimate
ly be declared vacant! and that
prediction has come to pass.
We had hoped, however, that
in view Of the extraordinary con-
dition of affairs the governor
would appoint Mr.. Stevenson as
he holds the necessary papers and
was practically elected, having,
in law, no opponent.
The court is now open to Mr..
Stevenson and we trust that he will
there meet with the justice that a
majority of the voters in the late
election failed to accord him.
We do not see why Mr.. Steven
son should be made TO undergo
another examination as his present
certificate is LEGAL, and so mus
the law, or the people in the event
of an election, re gard it.

took q gold bug for u silver fiend

the job of booming him for. the
Democratic presidential nomina-

with 16 to wind. The gentle
man whose name was used without
his own knowledge or consent for
the Democratic nomination is ex-
Secretary Whitney, of New York,
who in letter to a jackson paper
Friday declares that he is not and
will not be a candidate for the
Office, nor does he favor the free
coinage of silver at the ratio Of
16 to /. Since Mr.. McAllister
cannot occupy his time with the
duties of his present calling, he
will have to look around for q job
of some kind or for some other
man to boom, but it will be well
for him to first know who he is
booming and better yet to secure
the consent of his subject first.

CUBAN BELLIdERENcY.

The Congress Of the United States
favors the recognition Of Cuban
rights and have passed resolutions to
that effect, at the same time pledg-
ing its support to the President IL he
carries out the resolutions. This
step, no doubt, will meet with the
appreciation Of the American people
at large, as 1t should, for since the
revolution was given birth to, Amer
lean sympathy has been with the
Cubans.
The United States were indeed un-
grateful, II it's best feelings had fall

gle for liberty Id an adjoining state,
for great as II is today it underwent
the same trial that Cuba Is today
undergoing, and at the time of Its

than the planning, execution and
success Of the American revolution

This government has never inrssS,

immediate relations which exists be-
tween Cuba and this country and the

BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE.

In trying to make the farmers
believe that if they are poor it il
because there is not enough OF
silver money in the country, the
free coinage agitators show that
they have a low opinion of the
intelligence of the people they
wish to convert. AS none of the
silver orators or writer's have ever
attempted to show how measuring
wealth by a cheaper standard
would increase the production of
property, it is not surprising that
their bare assertions have met
with little credit. A study Of f.
nance is not necessary to teach
that q larger number of bushel
measures, even though their size
was decreased one half, would
not make his corn crop more val
liable. The questions which every
advocate of sound currency
should ask ofthose who tell them
that free silver will make; poor
men rich, are: '.How will cheap
or money, which on your own
claim will double the prices of all
kinds of prices of all kinds of pro-
perty, make it easier for me to get
more goods than | can get now?
And if, as you argue, / am poor
because goods are cheap and plen-
tiful, how would l be benefited if
they were scarce and dear? To
abolish my poverty / must get
more wealth, either through pro-
ducing moro things to exchange
for what l need, or by improve
ments in manufacturing which
will cheapen the goods 1 buy.
Will free silver enable me to grow
bigger crops? If not, will it make
low prices for manufactured arti-
cles? If it does neither, are not
your promises that your scheme
will make me rich all humbug?"

Cheap money means dear goods.
Try as they may, the silverites
cannot dodge this simple fact.
The free coinage agitation would

thing the sixty-fve million Amer
