The best way to encourage orhi,r,tto,

are getting a navy of the best kind of
vessels. and 1t is owing to that fact. ms
well as to others, that Great Britain
has consented to arbitrate the Ncne-

lieves for a moment that had we been
less strong in this regard, and less ac-
tive in ship building that England
would have listened 10 the proposition

keep free from entanglements, but the
best way to encourage arbitration is TO
have such a navy as TO SHOW other
nations that when peaceful means Of
settlement offered by us are rejected

demands If necessary upon the high

Pilot appears TO be also 'blind"-stone
blind at that. The Virginian and the
public have had sufficient evidence of
the fact that it was blind to reason and
to the glazing faults and defects that
rest like blistering sores on the body of

Judge Sample With Us.

Pontiac. Ill., Observer.
Judge Alfred Sample, Of this judicial
district, man probably as well known
and respected as any man in this
section, has refused to support Nc
Kinley and the gold platform. Judge
Sample is one of our present circuit
judges in a district with thousands
of Republicans in the majority and
occupies position which is unassail-
able. In reply to a telegram from the
st. Louis Republic on Monday Judge
Sample writes as follows:
To the Editor Of The Republic:
Paxton ILL.,, July 27.-In reply to
your query l would say: Though a
soldier and always a Republican, l
will not support the gold platform of
the st. Louis convention, because
|. 1t is not true Republicanism as
heretofore taught, but ultra.Cleve-
landism.
If the party was right in 1892 it is
wrong now. A great combination of
capital seemed TO rule that convention
and, apparently under the impression
that the people were demoralized,
seized the opportunity to put the eli.
max on their extreme demands, which
they have Leen seeking to reach for
years, and swerved Mckinley, as be-
lieve, from his position as expressed
in the Ohio platform.
2. 1t is anti-American in that It
declares the gold standard must be
maintained till Europe consents to a
change. l will never favor a policy
declaring that this great people shall
abrogate the rights to legislate for
themselves, especially In a matter OF
domestic concern and OF such vital
Importance. This declaration is ut
terlyrepugnant. Itdoes not represent
the genuine American sentiment, as
believe, Of the North, South, East
or West, but is the exotic product of
the plutOcracy Of the East, who seem
to be yearly becoming more English
than American.
In this contest every American
should remember the advice OF Wash.
ington, who said in his farewell ad-
dress: against the insidious wiles
OF foreign influence, believe me, fellow
citizens, the jealousy Of a free people
ought to 6e constantly awake, since
history and experience prove that such
influence is one OF the most baneful
foes Of republican government"
3. The declaration in favor OF an
international conference was insincere
and mere sop to bimetallists. The
Chicago Journal said 1t wasn't honest.
and that some OF those who approved
it knew it. The Times Herald, Ia an
editorial, June 16, said: $50 far as
free and unlimited coiDage is COZ.
cerned, future conferences, it may We'll
be predicted, will result precisely like
those already held"
To maintain the gold standard
means the destruction OF greenback
currency, and / favor that currency.
1t further means progressive falling
prices, stagnatiOn of business, distress
and ultimate poverty of producing
classes. These are some OF my easons.

ability got another chance to dis
play itself last week, and it being
a political matter in which the
Voice was supposed to be in the
hole the Monitor Press said "me too"
and jumped in up to its neck.
The point raised was that the publ
cation of the delinquent tax list in
the VOICE was invalid because the
first publication was not quite four
weeks prior to the day of sale. The
law says the list shall be published
"ouce in each week for four consec-
utive weeks prior to the sale" Says
nothing more. The day of sale
comes on September l. The list
was published once in the week of
which Thursday was the 9th day Of
August. 1t is published "once" in
this week, QSth). 1t will be pub
lished "once" in the week of which
Thursday will be the 2Oth and
"once" in the week of which Thurs
day will be the 9th. This makes
the full publications required by law
and there are no rulings of the court
requiring more. If the Supreme
Court can make this provision other
than what it plainly provides it can
just as well do all the legislating.
Two years ago the Caldwell News
made its first publication of the list
August 8, and the sale was Septem-
Der 4. The point was not raised at
that time and would not be now
only for the fact that the VOICE
underbid the gentleman of techni.
calities on the printing. He init
mates further that we did not have
the material to set it up in our Of
fee and had to send it away from
home to be set. We have plenty of
material with the addition of a few
inexpensive sorts, but the day of
setting tax lists by hand is about
passed. The new linotype machines
are doing nearly all the work
at less than it can be done for by
hand, and that is why the work is
done away. 1t is so strange that no
one but Andy Richards can own a
first class printing Office (even
though he may only own his nomi-
nally) or do any public work
accurately and strictly, legally cor
rect. When Andy dies he will be
springing some technical point on
the devil whereby he may be dis.
entbroned, but the old fellow will
doubtless take him by the nape Of
the neck and the seat of his panta-
looms and toss him into the bottom.
