The Green Forest tribune., 1896-09-03

The candidates were here Mon
day. At2 o'clock the school
building was filled to overfowing
with an enthusiastic audience.
F. O. Butt led the. discussion.
After speaking briefly OF u few "pet
hobbies" he launched upon the
financial question and endeavored
to prove from Genesis to the pres
ent time that free silver would be
panancea for all our ills. He said
if the Democratic platform did not
pledge the government to maintain
the parity of gold and silver at the
ratio of l6 to l under free coinage
he would make the pledge him.
self. Judge Worthington followed
with one of his usual entertaining
speeches. His argument was logic
al, reasonable, and comprehensive.
He clearly showed the untavorable
conditions that had repeatedly
arisen under free coinage in the
past, although there were 4 times
less silver coined during the free
coinage period, 81 years, than has
been coined since the year 1873.
Joe S. Naples and B. G. Edmond
son each made short speeches in
announcing their candidacy for
County Judge. 1t remained for E.
Swift and Polk Fancher, candidates
for Clerk, to furnish the fun for
the occasion. Their speeches had
more of matrimonial tendancy
than political. 1t seems that both
their chances of marrying de-
pend upon their election to Office.
In letter in the Progress last
week, Col. Fanchcr charges THE
TRIBUNE together with the Gem
and Fountain, of nisrepresenting
him concerning his recent financial
report. The article referred to as
rejecting upon him for the pur-
pose of injury: etc, Mr.. Fanoher
we'll knows, was authorized and
paid tor by the Republican county
central committee of this county,
and neither OF the papers was re-
sponsibIe Tor it. The question that
was asked Mr.. Fancher was stated
in plain, inoffensive manner and
did not exceed tho privilege Of
any citizen. There was room for
an explanation as any one will see
who has read Mr.. Fancher's letter
in reply. 1t does. seem to US that
the people are entitled to civil
answer from an official when they
desire to. know whether all reve-
nue. collected in the county has
been turned over to the proper
recipients. Sec. 606 of tho Stat
ute undoubtedly makes it
his duty to include such in his
report. But this is matter IN
which we have no personal inter-
est and THE TRIBUNE is justly due
no apologies or explanations
concerning it to no one, we will
simply let the people draw their
own conclusion.

rooth and tho Cream Put.

'I once saw Edwin Booth have very
trying experience" said well-known
actor.
1T befell him while he was having a
quiet little stroll all by himself in one
of the small cities where he was acting.
Seeing some particularly delightful
looking cream puffs in a conspicuous
part of restaurant, he stepped in and
purchased one. Without stopping to
ponder upon the peculiarities of cream
puffs, Mr.. Booth, in the most calculat-
ing and enthusiastic manner, bit exact
ly in the center of the spongy delicacy
OF course, a small stream Of cream
oozed out at each side of the bite and
gathered itself together on Mr.. Booths
cheeks. Just at this juncture some one
in the shop recognized the tragedian
and cried out: Why, that's Edwin
Booth
Half score Of people crowded about
and eyed the figure with interest. It
was a trying position for gre& trag-
edian, who was conscious Of being in
anything but tragic role. Bvt he
went calmly on with his refreshm emit,
eating with as much unconcern and en-
joyment, apparently, as if he were far
from the maddening crowd
but he said afterward, with a
twinkle in his eye, I never did bet
ter bit of acting in my life"

The Chinese Warrior.

Why has it occurred to no one that
the fulsome eulogies we delight to be-
stow upon the Japanese victors in the
late war with China were rather over
done? The most casual student of the
story of that war must acknowledge in
simple accordance with facts, that the
Japanese had simply a walkover.
There was absolutely no test of their
fighting qualities during any part of
the affair, because the Chinese invaria-
bly, either ran away, or, through lack
Of convenient opportunities for so end
ing the battles" just lay down to be
killed or captured. The occurrence in
New York Of a burglary at the laundry
of Wah Lee, an exile from the Flowery
Kingdom, and the Incidental behavior
of Wah Lee himself and his craven as
sistants, ought to convince the Japan
ophile--if the word may be coined-of
the absurdity Of clarifying any one who
vanquishes the Celestial in a game of
war. Three robbers broke into Wah
Lees laundry at l o'clock a. m. The
average white man would very
likely have been asleep at
that hour, and consequently an
easier prey. But not so with the
Cinnamon. There were three of them,
wide awake and hard at work. When
the attacking party had entered, Wah
was promptly foored with a hot
flat-iron, while his two compatriots,
big with discretion, fled into an inner
room and scrambled hastily under the
bed, elbowing each other fiercely, with
an utter disregard Of etiquette, in the
search for safety. 1t is not recorded
that they left their pigtails protruding,
but probably they did. The invaders
Unidentified themselves with a war
tribute Of $40 drawn from Wah Lees
treasury.

The Young Man Wanted to Know
Whether She'd Gone or Not.
Here is a story the dear girls are
telling with many bitches, quick in
drawings of the breath and giggles:
"Oh, you know, there is a young
country fellow, an Irishman, and he
went to ball and dressed up fit to
kill, I s'pose he thought. OF course,
none Of the girls would dance with
him, and he asked every one. So he
went to the belle of the ball and asked
her to dance with him, and she would
not, and l guess she answered him
pretty short. Anyway, he got real
mad. OF course, you know, he thought
he was dressed all right, and he got
tired Of being told no all night. So
he told her to-er-go somewhere, you
know. Well, of course, she didn't like
that, so she went to her brother and
told him that So-andSo had told her to
ergo somewhere. You know she
didn't know the fellows name. He
didn't know anybody there and he'd
been asking girls to dance without any
introduction, you know, and, you
know, that was why they didn't want
to dance with him. Girls wouldn't, Of
course, you know.
$50 this fellow, the girls brother, I
mean, went up to the other fellow and
said to him, Did you tell my sister to
go somewhere and he said Yes. Has
she gone? "-Exchange.
