LINE UP IN FRONT.
MISSOURI


When au seems lost and fate unkfnd
Throws shadows deep around,
Be brave and cast all grief behind.
Be strong and stand your ground;
Line up In front without a fear
Brace up and face the blast:
Let others weaken In the rear
Be erst. and not the last.
Thy trouble. loss. or greatest grief
May in your darkest day
FIJI black despair with no relief,
Find In the gloom no ray;
But struggle on, be brave and strong.
And TO the front look forth;
fnfs world IL not completely wrong,
Press on and test thy worth.
when trumpet calls. line up in front,
The struggle is for life;
Where danger lies. let nothing daunt
Your courage in the strife,
Brave souls meet fate with smiling face
Be proud to die for right.
To fall in front is no disgrace.
Care you how goes the fight.

the issue of bonds and the saddling OF

the people ought to be thankful
that Shylockism has arrived at that
stage of its career in this country
where it feels justified in throwing of
the mask behind which it has carried
out its sinister designs of demonetiza-
ton and currency contraction. and in
laying aside the cloak under which it
has been parading for twenty odd
years.
So there is to be no more hypocrisy
and double-dealing so far as the single
gold standard is concerned To main-
tain that standard is the object of the
campaign. which is to be backed by all
the agencies of the money power, and
by those who, either hypocritically or
ignorantly, have been trying to deceive
the honest voters of the country as to
the attitude and purpose OF the men
who are opposed to the reconciliation

Free-silver men are drawer in forcing
this issue than are those opposed to
free silver. There is a fair chance that
they will force the fighting in St
Louis as they did in the senate. There
is a fair chance that the republican
convention will have to give them an
answer. We don't want to have to
spend our time in arguing with repub-
,ican contemporaries what our plat

1 am sure that the Vasquez gang Of
Mexican cutthroatS killed from eight
to twelve men. and got by robbing min
ing camps and a United States army
paymaster something over So, 1000. As
he grew older he became holder, and
his field of operation for ten or fifteen
years was all the way from Tucson,
Ariz, up to Stockton, Cal. The Vas
uuez gang was known all over the coast
in 1876 and 1878. Part of the gang was
lynched at Maricopah, Ariz., in 1877, and
two of the bandits then confessed that
they had taken the lives of over eight
men and boys on the coast and along
the Rio Grande in the course of-five or
six years. They did not know how
many other men had been slaughtered
by Vasqucz and his followers before
they came-t to know the chief bandit.
AT last Vasquez was caught and
held so securely that he could not es-
cape trial and sentence of death.
None of his friends could save hipo, not
withstanding the money that was spent
and the lawyers who worked day and
night in his relief. That was in 1881.
He was confined in the Jail at San Jose,
and as ] knew Sheriff Adams well, /

The Republicans Arc Doing Some Hasty
Calculating.


Calculating.
Republican wise men who are fore
casting the political future with a fine
showing of confidence have left an inn
portant consideration out of their cal
culations. In passing Judgment on the
threat Of silverites in both parties to
bolt provided sound money platforms
are adopted by the national conven-
tions, these prophets predict q complete
overthrow Of the democratic party.
The truth is that their own party will
be by far the hardest hit. The populists
or the republicans control every state
where there is a reasonable probability
that the dissenting element can DOM
mate. Not one Of them has been in tho
habit of choosing democratic presiden-
upon to do SO this year. They are all
counted in the republican column and
that is where they belong.
Democrats have nothing to expect
from the free silver states. They were
taken in under the republican wing in
order to strengthen the party in the
senate, and they have plagued the g. Q.
D. in that body no more than they prom
ise to do in the country. These special
republican recruits have 20 votes in the
electoral college. Let them bolt, as they
threaten to do, and they will not only
deprive the republican candidates of the
votes named, hut OF as many more in
sympathy with their cause and move-
ment. If the democratic national con-
vention can be controlled by the states
that give the party It's electoral votes,
and is not ove-run by democrats from
the free-silver states, it will adopt .
sound money platform which will In
sure it's strongholds while many Of
those heretofore belonging to the repub-
licans would be alienated.
Under these circumstances democ-
racy would have odds in favor of its car
rying New York, Connecticut and New
Jersey, with which and the southern
states, the election would be secured.
There arc free-silver democrats in the
latter section, but there is not one of its
states that viii bolt sound-money
platform, preferring defeat Of their
financial views to the evils which they
have so thoroughly learned attend re-
publican rule. This free-silver weapon
is cutting both ways, but It IL doing
its work right in the vitals Of the repub-

punishment for taking in the sage-bush
