THE trend of events clear
ly proves that the republi-
can leaders are endeavoring
to make the tariff the lead
ing issue in the presidential
campaign. By this means
they hope to retain the sill
yer republicans in their ranks.
For splendid discipline the
republican party is noted.
It's record shows that instead
of party fudes, it presents a
united front to the enemy.
This is a characteristicin cOn=
gress as we'll as during cleo
tiOns. In the silver states it
is more than probable on ac-
count of self-interest the tar
iff will be subservient to the
financial issue, but aside
from those states there is no
reason to believe that party
ties, to any considerable ex-
tent, will bebroken by the re-
publicans. That the indus
tries which fourished under
a tariff for protection sake are
longing for the enactment of
"a law similar to that known
as the Mckinley law, there
is no doubt. Therefore dem=
ocrats should not lay the fiat
tering JUNCTION to their souls
that the tariff is a dead issue.
AS sure as the republicans
elect a president and regain
a majority of the members
Of congress, SO sure will the
present tariff law be repeal
ed and another Mckinley
law enacted that would pro-
tect the classes at the expense
of the masses.

hand of death, because the
the life of this good christian lady
was bound to his heart not only
through abundance of love and es-
TEEN bnt through ties of re-
lationship, which exempliGed her
many virtues more forcibly and en-
deared him to her more tenderly.
1.-The demise of Mrs. Campbell
was rather unexpected at this time,
Notwithstanding she had reached
that feeble age when life was I'M
certain. She had been unwell for sew
eral months sometimes showing a
marked degree of hopefulness and
renewed strength and at other times
was rather inclined to feebleness,
but recently had been In far better
health than usual until Sunday
morning when she became much
worse and was unconscious; then
death became apparent. She was a
most devoted chaistian lady, having
joined the Methodist church when
only sixteen years of age, and as
each year was numbered among the
past her faith in the church of her
choice was increased and her hope
of eternal reward strengthened. For
ga years she labored in the vine
yard of the Lord, and when the an
gel of death came and folded its
arms around her and received hel
soul for the other shore, she was
ready and willing for the great sum
mons. This is one of the grandest
privileges of a christian person, to
so live that when the end comes to
be ready to greet the Father with
the record that life was spent to the
very best advantage to the advance
mant of christianity. And while
it seems almost unbearabIe to hel
dear children and relatives to give
her up, yet to know that she wa:
spared to that unusual age Of sc
years and then to lay down the
cares of this life and go to rest can
not but be a great relief III the sac
hour of grief.
Rev. r. w. Hood preached al
eloquent and impressive funeral ser
mon at the home, and from there
the remains were conveyed to thu

WHERE the carcass lies there the
birds of prey assemble. It's there
fore not surprising that to the silver
carcass in Chicago, Stewart of Ne
vada, Dubois of Idaho, and Petit
grew of South Dakota, are prepar-
inc TO flock. 1t is not customary
for any to attend a party conven-
ton except those who are adherents
of its principles. In the last Demo
cratic National Convention sneitber
ofQthe persons mentioned NANTES
ted any interest in its declarations
and conclusions. Yea, they knew
that at that time no silver cascass
would be presented, hence their alb
sence. But time has brought about
mutations. At the last Democratic
National Convention, Grover
Cleveland, though his position con-
corning the financial question was
fully known, the mention of his
name was greeted with enthusiastic
applause. Not only so, but he was
nominated and elected to the highest
office in the gift of the people. But
at that time the purity of the demo
cratic principles were kept inviolate.
Only democrats participated, only
democratic principles were embrac-
ed in the platform. But, alas! states
men have been relegated and politi-
ians, with populistic persuasion,
hold sway. 1t Will hardly be denied
that either Stewart, Dubois or Petit
grew would more likely be nominal
ted for the presidency by the Chica-
90 Convention than Grover Cleve-
land. This fact alone is sufficient
to cast a gloom over such demo-
Gratis as have not been attracted by
the heretical light.

The Mass Convention.

The vague verbage contained in
the call ordered by the Demo
cratic Executive Committee for the
nomination of a sheriff has given
rise to a difference Of opinion in re-
gard to the method to be pursued
by the convention in making the
nomination. A mass convention
has been ordered. The definition
of the word "mass" when applied
to individuals is a collective body.
1t is therefore reasonable to sup
pose, judging from the call, that a
majority or two-thirds majority of
those present would be vested with
the power of selecting nominee.
But upon investigation, a represen-
tative of this paper found that
the consensus of opinion is that
each district in the county will be
entitled to such strength or vote as
will be agreed upon by the conven-
ton. Furthermore, it is stated
that each district may select dele
gates to the convention, but if
there are others from the districts
in Bolivar on the day of the con
vention, not appointed as delegates,
they will be permitted to take part
in the proceedings, If this be true,
IN order to prevent misrepresenta-
ton, the districts holding conVen-
tions should instruct as to their
preference for sheriff; and thereby
prevent those not in accord with
the majority in the district from
stultifying the wishes of the greater
number. The BULLETIN has no
reason to believe that any unfair
means will be resorted to, but if all
democrats from a district that has
selected delegates uninstructed, but
favorable to the candidate prefera-
bic to a majority of the democratic
voters Of that district, and if others
from the district exceeding in num-
Der the delegates and opposing the
majority, are permitted to take part
in the county convention, it seems
they would be empowered to cast a
majority of the strength of the dis
trict for a candidate that did not re-
ceive the greatest support in the
district convention. The BULLETIN
suggests instructing in the districts
holding conventions as precautiOn-
arV measure,

'Although we have coined fifty
two times more silver in the last
% years since 1873 than during the
so years preceding 1878, still a
great hue and cry is being raised for
more silver" Now let us see what
that amounts to. We had coined in
silver from 1898 to 1898 $l43, 465.-
5000 (see report of the director of
the mint for 1899. Now multiply
this 50 times, and we have the

The silence of r. L. L., for
several weeks past, we pre-
sumo has become painful to
him. As any rate he has
broken loose again. The
philosopher" is unable to
conceive why one SO well
posted on the financial ques-
ton as r. l.. L. is unable to
discern that there is a differ
ence between money per cap
tia and circulation per capita.
Had he realized that there is
a difference, he probably
would have withheld his crit
icism. In order to find the
money per capita of a nation
it is necessary to divide the
amount within its confines by
the number of inhabitants
but it does not necessarily
follow that all of the money
in a country is in circula-
ton. AS shown by statistics
issued Icy the government, in
1891, the amount of money III
the United States was 50, 100,
40, 092, and the population OF
that year in this country was
$4,000, which gives q
money per capita Of $32.83,
while the circulating per cap
tia was estimated at $23.45.
In speaking Of coinage, in
variably reference is made tC
dollars, unless otherwise stip-
ulated. In 1873. the amount
of silver dollars coined by the
government was $8,031, 900,
which if multiplied by 81
gives $417,612, 600. But i
is estimated that there is il
: this country in round mum.
bers 5000, 100000, but EN-
braced in that amount are
dollars, quarters, dimes anC
, nickles. If silence again be.
comes painful to r. L. L.
the philosopher extends t.
, him cordial invitation t.
use the columns Of the Bull
LETIN with the hope that they
will give the desired relief.

PETER, the populite OF
Kansas, introduced a resolu-
ton in the United States
Senate, which was passed, to
appoint a committee to
investigate the recent bond
sale. Harris, of Tennessee,
was made chairman of the
committee. Several sessions
of the committee have been
held, and the Investigations
have proven that the bond
sale was in accordance with
the law, and was resorted to
in order to protect and
preserve the credit of
of our government. Moth
ing irregular has been repor-
ted. The originator and
supporters of the 'investiga-
ting resolution" hoped to be-
smirch the character of Pres
ident Cleveland and Secreta-
ry Carlisle. They have fail

pose. Personal hatred figur-
Cd considerably in this inves-

The result Of Senator La

turned to Mississippi, canvas
sed the state and told his con-

gument was convincing, and
he was reelected. Another
honored son Of the South,
the lamented Jefferson Da-
Wis, was also an advocate of
the gold standard. Twenty
years ago, Mr.. Davis made a
visit to Missouri. The train
upon which he was travelling
stopped at a small station on
the Iron Mountain Railroad.
A greenback convention was
| in session there. A large
crowd collected at the station
to honor the distinguished
visitor, and he was induced
to make a short speech.
Some one in the audience
shouted, chow about green

IT has been stated that
when there is a rise in the
price of silver there is also
an appreciation in the price
of agricultural products. Of
course such assertions are in
variably made by the cham
pions of free silver, and are
no more corroborated by
facts than many other utter
ances from that source. Sill
yer bullion is higher now
than when cotton was selling
at s Ia cents a pound. In
fact the silver dollar is no
more the measurement of
value in countries that have
gold as the standard than a
bushel of corn. But it seems
that the silverites are imbued
with the idea that it is better
to say something than to re-
main quiet.
