The postoflice department at pres
ent is not quite self-sustaining. Some
representative congressman from the
the East, who probably draw salaries
from bond companies and others hav-
ing a large correspondence, have dis
covered that the deficiency might be
made up and their principals relieved
if certain classes of printed matter
were made to pay heavier postage.
Accordingly bills have been introduced
to lay the burdens ON the most thrifty
and opulent, the newspaper man and
the printer. Meanwhile, az the COM
mittee on pOstoflices and post-rOads
has discovered, some Of our meek
and lowly congressman have been

From conversation with some Of oul
citizens we learn that a movement il
on foot to have the county take 90, OOt
in stock in the Valley State Bank
which was closed q short time ago by
the bank commissioner. The supposl.
ton is that this $4,000 In stock In the
recognized bank Is to cancel an equal
amount Of the obligation Of the bank
to the county as enc Of its depositors.
If not. and good cash is put into the
institution it is so much worse.
We are also informed that an effort
is being made to induce the school dis.
trict, which was q dep ysitOr to the
amount Of some $1,000, to take stock in
the concern. The editor of this paper
is not yet well enough acquainted with
the city, the standing of the bank or
the history of its affairs, to give any
very fOrcible expression on the matter,
but we feel that the public should
know what is being talked and con-
templated. We are informed that at
present the county is fairly we'll SO.
cured by the banks bonds for the
county money, and that the school dis
trict is also. The opening of the bank
might give the county and the district
poorer security, and in the event that
either the county or the district sub.
scribes for stock in the bank they are
liable for an additional amount equal
to the value of the stock. If the
county should take $4,000 in stock, it
would be liable for $4,000 should the
institution become insOlvent.
Furthermore, the lawful right of
the county to take stock in such cor
poration may we'll be doubtedO Gov
ernor Morrill, vetoed a bill to grant a
certain township the right to build a
mill and own it itself, on the ground
that it was paternalistic. If that was
paternalistic, what is this?
1t is needless to say anything of the
value Of such stock. 1t is sufficient to
cite to the numerous examples of cOun-
ties taking stock in railroads years ago.
In nearly all, if not every case they
were juggled out Of it.
Last week with satisfaction we pub
lished statement which from our in
formation we supposed to be true, that
this bank was about to resume business.
While we are opposed to the banking
system as it exists at present, we be-
lieve everyone, irrespective Of politics,
would be glad to see this bank reor-
ganize on a safe and firm foundation.
1t would give the depositors their
money and show a recuperative
strength in this community which is
not common in the land in these times
But when in order to effect a reOrgani.
cation so much help is required from
outside, it strikes us as a confession of
weakness. We hope and believe we
have not been misinformed in this
matter, for it Is one of immense impNT
lance to the people of the county. 1t
is surely something about which too
much caution cannot be displayed.

IT IS little amusing to see the re-
publican papers of the State quarreling
over the question as to whether their
congressman are representing their
constituents. The gold standard re-
publicaus are bowling loud that Brod-
erick and Curtis are traitors, and the
silver men are equally loud in declaring
that the rest of their congressman are
recreant to their trust. Well, that is
one of the things that do not trouble
pOpulists. Their principles are we'll
enough defined that the congressman
can't mistake the wishes of their con-
stituents.

THE scenes at the Leavenworth re-
publican primaries the other day must
have made Colonel Daniel Anthony
thinks of the ruAan warfare. The Le-
land men in some of the wards took
fOrcible possession of the ballot boxes
and destroyed the ballots. In other
places they threw out the regularly
elected judges or gathered in mobs and
prevented the Anthony men from vot
ing. Colonel Dan will contest every
word in the city but his hopes are vain.
The whole organization will be against
him and all he can do will be to set up
his voice and howl.

THE dOings Of the nations just at
this juncture, seem to resemble the tu-
multi and chatter of a lot of small hoys
at marbles more than anything else.
Just now Spain is causing a ripple of
excitement by reason Of some Of her
mobocracy undertaking to turn over
things at the American consulate in
Barcelona. This was done because
they think Uncle Sam has been max
ing himself unduly familiar with her
marbles in Cuba, and Uncle Sam talks
back and in effect says, you haint got
no right to 'em, nohow." Of course
as with the small boys grievances,
there is a right and a wrong to it, but
after all, these Yenszuela disputes,
South African sQuabbles, and Spanish
embroglios all seem childish and pet
fish.

Barn Bnrned.

During the storm last Thursday af-
ternoon the large barn on the J. K.
Wither's farm, 81 miles south of Ma
poIeon, was struck by lightning and
entirely consumed. The structure
was 40x60 in dimension, and Mr..
Kessler, the tenant on the farm, had
all his hay, grain and farming i'll
plements stored in it. The bolt of
lightning entered the roof and set
fire to the hay. A gang of men were
present at the time baling straw and
did everything possible to extinguish
the flames but without avail, and
then worked to save the contents.
Nearly everything was gotten out
safely, but the grain and hay was de
stroyed with the barn. There was
$4O0 insurance on the barn, but Mr.,
Kessler had no insurance on con,
tents.

Running on Time.

As illustrating the degree efficiency
to which the present management Of
the B. s. O. R. r. has brought its
motive power equipment and esprit
de corps of the operating staff, we
call attention to the fact that during
the months of April, May and June
the passenger trains and fast freight
trains have lmostinvariably arrived
at their respective destinations on
schedule time. The very few excep-
tions to the general rule We're due to
causes inseparable from railway
operation, and against which no
forethought can wholly guard. 1t
may be said that during the period
named no road in America compara-
BILE in magnitude to the B. so, can
surpass its record for punctuality in
| train movement.

Home Interests First.

Of the entire business of the coun-
try "a per cent. is done at home and
only per cent. with foreign nations,
and self interest demands that our
money be of that kind and character
suitable for the "a rather than the 6
per cent. of that business. The free
coinage of gold and silver at the ra-
tio of 16 to l would give good enough
money for our own use, and even if
we lost the trade of gold standard
countries, we would gain far more
through the securing of trade from
the free silver countries. Let us
take care of our own interests.

16 To 1.

In answer tonumerous inquiries we
| will state that the term 16 to means
that in the coinage of gold and silver
the number of grains of pure silver
in a silver dollar shall be sixteen
| times the number of grains of pure
gold in gold dollar. This ratio was
established many years ago and is
passed upon the ascertained fact that
the worlds supply of silver is sixteen
times as great as gold. Up until the
decentralization of silver there was
free coinage of both metals, and each
had its fixed value. The Democratic
party believes in a return to the free
coinage of silver upon the ratio
which SO many years made our coun-
try prosperoasHand its people h appy.

Reports in circulation represent
employers of labors, in certain in
stances, as declaring that men in
their employ must vote for McKin-
ley. No true American, be he demo-
crat, populist or republican, will fail
TO utterly denounce anything of that
sort. 1t does not matter in the in
terests of what candidate, what par
ty or what principle such means are
employed; it is thoroughlg bad,
thoroughly repugnant to thesAmeri-
can spirit of liberty. The vote of
every American citizen is his own, to
cast as he pleases. Threats of loss
Of employment, or disfavor, of boy
cottlng or blacklisting, or intimida-
tion of any kind are high crimes
against American citizenship.
