GOVERNOR LORD gives out as
the excuse for supporting Miller
that the opposition. favored Prof.
McElroy for president of the col
lege. This statement is untrue
and misleading. Mr.. McElroy
was not a candidate, and Messrs.
Apperson, Nash, Yates, Hillery,
Ready and Weatherford had not
the slightest intention of support
ing him. Besides, it looks rather
improbable that seven members of
the board should be afraid that
six would elect an especially OBJ
jectionable president and that in
order to defeat the supposed eff
forts of the six, it was necessary
to select all equally unsatisfactory
man. The governor makes HIM
self extremely ridiculous as we'll
as something worse in giving in
spiration to such a clumsy, trans
parent falsehood.

NOTWITHSTANDING their dis
appointment and chagrin con-
cerning the inexcusable defiance
of the rules of propriety and wis
dom on the part of the board of
regents of the Agricultural col
lege, the citizens of Benton coun-
ty know that the institution will
be a blessing tothe young men and
women who enter its halls in
search of a practical education.
The institution is splendidly
equipped in all its departments,
and the various branches are in
the hands of competent profess
sors. The dean of the faculty,
Professor F. Berchtold, who will
be the head of the school as re-
CARDS instruction, is an intelli-
gent, cultured gentleman,Y who
has happy faculty of governing
without arousing antagonis1n. He
is the senior member of the fac
ulty, having been connected with
the school for over twelve years.

A PEARL EXPLODES.

The Times is usually content
to skim the surface in discussing
great questions of general inter
est. 1t seldom philosophers OF
makes scientific Investigations.
But this financial agitation is af-
fecting men of all calibers and
occupations. Political economists
as we'll as political history are be-
ing made rapidly, and even child
rem discuss parity ratio, :"
"mint value" ''repudiation,
and the various phrases that enter
into financial arguments. The
Times is not content to repeat
commonalities. 1t wants to throw
into the heaving sea of monetary
debate the calming oil of origi-
nal and overwhelming proof.
"He who would search for pearls
must dive below" The Times
dove and returned to the surface
with a remarkable contribution.
The world should hearken for the
Times has discovered:
1st.-The fact that Wallis
Nash was born an Englishman.
2nd.-The fact that Mr.. Nash
does not believe in free coinage
of silver at I6 to I.
There we have the major prem
Use and the minor premise. Does
not the conclusion inevitably fol-
low, "The gold standard system
is exclusively and da1nnably En-
glish and should be banished from
America?" @. E. D. Let every
populist sieze a broom aud help
brush this hateful English sys-
tenn from the land. Well adopt
the policy of Mexico and Japan.
Who would be an Englishman
when he can be a Greaser?
The Times is right. 1t must
be right. Look at its logic. In
comparable and unanswerable.
And expressed in choicest and
most forcible language. Lam
guage? Language? What lam
guage? Oh misery of lniseries!
Come rocks and mountains! Fall
tears; and were every drop boil
ing ocean, ye could not drown
the anguish. For the Times, the
multi-coated, popocratic Times;
the noble American, English
hating Times, uses-Oh crown
of thorns!-uses-Oh cross of
gold! The Times uses the En-
glish language!

What Are Our Sins?

Backward, turn backward, 0 Time if you
will,
Give us Mckinley, or give us his bill;
Kindle the fires in his furnaces again,
Furnish more work to our laboring men.
We are so weary of Cleveland and Hokc,
Weary of smokestacks emitting no smoke,
Weary of spindies that nobody spins
What are our sins, mister, what are our sins?
Backward, roll backward, O scroll of the
Fates,
Show us why Cleveland once carried the
states;
Bring us the men who in Grover believed;
Tell us just how they were caught and de-
ceived;'
What, in the nature Of popular wrong,
What have we done to be punished so long?
Always the way when democracy wins
What are our sins, mister, what are our sins?
Every SO often fresh converts are made,
Voters who howl for free wtiskey and trade;
Don't give darn for future expense,
Howl without reason and vote without sense.
That was the case only four years ago;
Cleveland elected and four years of woe.
Those who were for him are crying Enough"
Isn't it tough, mister, isn't it tough?

WHY should the American peo-
pie be slaves to a ratio, an artifi-
cial, dishonest ratio? Our fore
fathers, fresh from the war for
independence, establishing a
mighty nation upon the rock of
truth and freedom, took the mar
ket ratio of the world as the ra-
tio for coming gold and silver.
Let us follow in their footsteps.
They were wise and patriotic
statesmen. Let us not introduce
the hot-house idea into our mon
etary system.

For your FrOtectiOn.-Cat Catarrh "Cures" or
TONES for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not
a blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold OF damp weather. 1t starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive fow of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits cf cata1rh will follow; severe pain in
the head, roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. The remedy should be quick to allay
inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury

Watson, Bryan's populist run

from Georgia who kept the sand
congress in uproar by his attacks
on Bryan, and the two men are
bitter enemies, and always have
been. Here is an extract from
one of Watson's speeches, where
he had little fun at Bryan's ex-
pense: COZ the other hand, we
have our handsome and brilliant
friend from Nebraska (Bryan),
who was put forward as the 'dar-
ling of the democratic side OF the

which ranged Tom Moore's poet
ry to Joe Miller's jest book, was
the sum and substance of the old
democratic position on the tariff

wrong, while we know what is
right. Portland Chronicle.
The populist convention at st.
Louis was no more harmonious
than was the Chicago convention.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
A HOSPITAL PATIENT TRIES TO
END HIS LIFE.

of His Recovery.

L. Oppert, an aged patient at the
Tourtellotte hospital, attempted to
commit suicide there Saturday after
noon. He locked himself in the bath
room at ABOUT four o'clock in the af-
ternoon, and tried to drive an old,
rusty pair of sciZZors into his body
with a Ratchet. The first time that
he tried it the sciZZors blade struck
rib and could not be driven in. The
second attempt was more successful,
for the rusty blades were driven i've
inches into the pit OF the stomach.
The man was soon discovered, but it
was thought best not to try to remove
the SciZZors until a physician was at
hand, and Dr. Warner was summoned
The blades were driven in so we'll
that quite an effort was required to
remove them. Oppert is quite low
today, and probably will not recover.
The old man recently came to this
city from Henderson, and is Is years
old. His health has been enfeebled
by age, and it is thought that he COM
mitted the deed in moment of tenn
porary insanity.
