David B. Seibert. the Jackson sound
money Democrat. who was so anxious
to discuss the question with Prof. Van
diver. candidate for Congress and free
silver champion. is not satisfied with
the way things have turned out. Prof.
Vandiver, after much hesitation and a
great deal Of W trouble finally
mustered up courage to discuss the
money question with the Jackson sound
money champion. He wrote Mr.. Sci
bert to meet him in the court house in
this city May 10Th. Mr.. Seibsrt
answered him that the time was too
short and he could not prepare for
the debate on so short notice. Now
Mr.. Seibert is prepared and he wants
Prof. Vandiver at the court house in
Jackson. OF course the Professor
will not meet him and the discussion
will never take place. The best inter-
ests of the party and nervous prostra-
ton on either side will not allow the
two men to meet.

How to Treat q Wife.

First, get "a wife: second, be patient.
You may have great trials and per-
plexities in your business, but do not
therefore carry to your home a cloudy
or contracted brow. Your wife may
have trials, which. though of less
magnitude, may be hard for her to
bear. A kind word, a tender look,
will do wonders in chasing from her
brow all clouds of gloom. To this
we would add always keepa bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in the
house. 1t is the best and is sure to
be needed sooner or later. Your wife
will then know that you really care
for her and wish to protect herhealth.

Colorado's Cltfmatum.

The attitude taken by the Colorado
Republican State Convention is of
considerable significance. "We here
by indorse the course of our members
of Congress on the silver question:"
said that body, ''ahd heartily indorse
Hon. Henry NJ. Teller inhis stand and
actions in the United States Senate on
the tariff in maintaining that no tariff
legislation be passed by Congress I'M
til silver is restored to its proper
place in the currency Of the country,
and there is free coinage of that metal
at a ratio with gold of IL to l." The
Convention further directed its dele
gates to ''act in harmony with the
views of Hon. Henry NJ. Teller as to
the course to be pursued by the Colo
RADIO delegation in the National Con-
ventiOn," and Teller was formally
chosen to be the delegations head.
This language is admirably plain.
Mr.. Teller and four other Republicans
voted against the consideration of the
Dingley tariff bill in the Senate a few
months ago, and helped the Democrats
to kill that measure. This course
Colorado indorses. A few days be-
fore Colorado's Convention met a let
ter from Mr.. Teller was published, in
which he said he did mot intend to
support a candidate on a gold stand
ard platform or on a platform of
doubtful construction" In the same
letter he said If thatcourse should put
him outthe Republican party he would
''accept that result with all its logical
consequences" The Convention, in
placingits delegates at large in charge
Of Teller, and in i%nstructing them to
do as he directs in the st. Louis Con-
ventiOn, sanctions his u~tterances and
stands ready to support him in his
actiontOwardhis party splatform and
ticket, whatever that action may be.
This means revolt If it means any
thing. The Republican National Con-
vention will declare squarely and en-
phatically for sound money and against
free coinage. There is not the ~faintest
reason for doubt onthis point. Prob
ably it will declare specifically for the
gold standard. Two-thirds of the Re-
publican State Conventions held in the
past three weeks havedropped all coy
ness and circumiocution and have
come out deeply and honestly in de-
Tense of the gold basis. There will be
no middle ground on the finance ques-
ton among Republicans in 1896. Those
who are not for the gold standard are
against it. and those who are against it
are against the Republican party. The
Republicans lost Colorado in 1892
but its vote would nOthave giventhem
the victory. They would be glad to
have its vote in 1895, but they will
make no concessions to win it, and
they can carry the country without it.
