DIED {:

On July 31st, 1896, little ISAAC
GREY, son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Spikes.
Death is sad thing at all times
and under all circumstances, but
in this case it seemed more SO than
usual, for it was the mothers only
darling child, and if death was any
respector of persons such homes
would seem to be excusable, but
not so.
The Lord hath said, ''suffer lit
tie children to come unto me-" and
the Lord loveth whom he chasten-
eth. We are brought to the con-
clusion that both mother and little
Isaac are special objects of Gods
mercy.
We cannot bring our loved ones
back, but by obeying Gods holy
will we can 60 to them, then there
will be no more separation when

We dislike to be put in the pc
sitiUn of being a perpetual kicker,
but when we know anything to be
wrong. we cannot refrain from
saying so. What we have to say
is i'm reference to the insuring OF
the new court house,
Of course, after the building
was accepted and the officers moved
into it, it was business like to have
the building insured. The COM
mittee empowered to have such
done, had representatives from two
agencies who put in bids as fol
lows: Messrs. Lemec & fuckers
figures were one per cent per an
mum, 9 per cent for three years or
q per cent for five years Mcssrs.
Alexander, Hill & Breazeale bid
3 per cent for five years, just !
per cent higher than the other bid.
In the face of that fact, on mo-
ton of Mr.. HI. Raphael, Messrs.
Lemee & Tucker secured seven
thousand dollars, and the other
agency five thousand.
The difference between the lids
is only S25 90, but as it is paid by
the parish, the premium should &C
to the lowest bidder. AS it is, II
costs the parish $500 more for five
wears insurance than it should have
done.
We comment no further, as The
above figures speak for themselves
Later-Since the above was pu
in type we learn that Messrs. Alex
ander, Hill & Breazeale, hav'
agreed to meet Messrs. Lemee 4
Tucker on figures, and will take TIT
5000 policy for q per cent TO
FIVE years.

The habit of filming men in cold

The habit of fining men in cold
cash for offenses committed, Is
wrong. Two men are convicted,
saw of carrying concealed weapons,
one earns Sl.00 Il day, the other
$500 day. Both are fined SIS.
1t takes Is days labor for one to
pay his fine and three days
labor for the other. Don't you
see the weak point in such sys-
tenn. Suppose each had to work
the road for 10 days or 60 to jail
for the same period, then there
would he no difference betwecn
them.
SO long as we make men pay
money because they did wrong, so
long shall the rich have the advant-
age of the poor. Instead of filming
"a man $40 and then hiring another
man for 10 days to work the road,
why not make the offender do $40
worth of work. Such system
would lessen crime, for many a
man would refrain from doing wrong
when he knows he will have to
work as criminal instead OF being
fined.

not be regarded as true friend to
the silver movement, if he fails to
decline.
In the Chicago convention the
heart of the people was dominant
when the Democrats nominated
Bryan. The convention was drunk
with enthusiasm or something else
when it presented Sewall for sec
ond place.
At St. Louis the heart of the
people dominated the entire con-
vention in its selection of a Presi-
Dental ticket.
Bryan and Watson both sprang
from the hearts of the people, and,
together they will electrify the
nation with their oratorical fervor,
and we hazard nothing when we
say, that Nebraska will have no adj
vantage over Georgia in forensic
display.
Mr.. Sewall must decline. The
success of silver demands it. The
impoverishment of the people cry
out aloud for it. Watson is in
sympathy with every demand made
at Chicago. Scwallis not. Let us
play honest with the people. The
idea of nominating a national bank
president on a platform that repu-
dates the national banking system,
is inconsistent with every require
ment of common honesty.
Watson is in accord with every
principle of the Chicago platform.
He says so, and he means what he
says, for he is patriot, who breath
es with the respiration of the
toiling masses.
In Nebraska, there are more
Populists than Democrats-less of
either than Republicans. The same
condition exists in Kansas and 9th
er Western states. Mr.. Bryan
knowns that he has no chance OF
carrying any Western state with
out Populist aid. Every sane
man knows that, without fusion,
. Democracy and silver is doomed to
everlasting defeat in Tennessee and
North Carolina.
Why not combine ? Why moi
make our wish good by bringing
the Populists back into the Demo
cratic party! This can only be
done on the basis of fairness. II
will not do for the Democrats tC
eat apple dumping, while we give
crow pie to the Populists. The
; Commercial does not favor such
, courtesy. 1t believes in that whole
souled Southern and Western hos
; pitality, which recognizes that there
is nothing too good for the invited
guest.
We wouldn't give Tom Watson
for the whole state of Maine fol
there is no more chance of elect
ing q Democratic candidate IL
Maine, than there is for the Dem
ocracy of the Union taking wing
! and flying in a solid body to heav
en-.
Give us Bryan and Watson
That makes the issue square, anC
will save the people from financial
enslavement.

Then Potatoes"

We want the whole world to I'M
derstand that we have 700 bushels
of first-class potatoes, that we can
not sell for one cent per bushel, or,
in fact, for anything and that we
are raising a lot more to pile on
top of them.
We want the Mckinley tariff
again! We must have it If we
don't get it the pauper labor OF
"Yurrop" will rush in a flood OF
potatoes and undersell our pota-
toes! Horrible thought! They
will sell their potatoes for half
what we get for ours-whlch is
nothing! One half of nothing!
Who can raise potatoes in compe-
ton with the pauper labor of Yur-
rop, and sell them for one-half OF
nothingl 1t can't be did! For
Gods sake bring on your tariff
on clean plate.
We want John Judas Carlisle to
come along and comfort us with
the information that the purchas-
ing power of the dollar was never
so great as it is today; and that
the purchasing power of the pota-
to was never so little; but that the
moncy-lenders do not deal in po-
tatoes, and SO we are all happy.
We would like for John Judas to
come into our cellar and deliver an
Grafton on this subject over 'them
potatoes" We have club that
would just about fit into Johns
cranial bumps, and we would want
only one good whack at him-and
we would cover up the remains
with potatoes, and use the whole
mess to manure our fields next
year, and-raise more potatoes
under the single gold standard!
Now we want our daily papers
to take up this important question
Set the scientists at work. Tell us
how we can live on potatoes-fried
stewed, roasted, and in the shell
how we can weave potatoes into
cloth and mend the dilapidation'
caused by INSCRIPTIONS time how
we can pay our taxes with thos'
priceless esculents how we cal
rig a purchase that will turn pota
toes into government bonds-bear
ing gold interest.
