don. The game Between Stuttgart's
second nine and Clarendon's second
nine stood IL to Il in favor of Stuff
CART.
Some eight or dozen of our bicyc-
lists attended the races at Clarendon
Wednesday. Among the number were
Mrs. Shade, Miss Kate lizard, Messrs.
G. A.. FOlbre, Homer Folbre, James
Dennis, James Alley, John Brady.
Paul Pope, and others.
The two l7.year-old boys races were
marks for our kid rider. Homer Fol
bre, he winning the one mile race and
also the half mile from the Pine Bluff
Splinter without struggle. In the
first race Homer rode so far ahead of
his opponents that he thought some nc.
cident must have happened to them,
and as he was finishing, thought he
would scan tie course i'm his rear to
see what had occurred to de hy the ia
nous rider from Pine Bluff. and as he
passed over the tape, putting his
thought into action, he turned his head
gracefully and took the desired
''squint" behind, to behold the object
OF his search. about seventy-6ye yards
down the stretch. coming in with all
the speed he could attain. Homer had
no idea that he had done anything
wrong and the act was not done
through any selfish motive, or to cast
undue reflection on his opponent. il
was merely through spirit of sympa-
thy and interest for a fellow being in
trouble that causd him turn his head.
But 10 when the prize was awarded
for the race Homer was Informed by
the judges, that under the L. A. W.
rules. the, little act of turning his head
had cost him the race, and they gave
the prize, which was gold medal, to
the young man from Pine Bluff who
took it, and looked as jubilant AS II lit
tie boy In the possession of his first
pair OF red top boots, while the real
victor went away empty handed. Ho-
mer says he has been reminded of that
biblical story about Lots wife and the
pillar OF salt not less than thousand
times.
Homer was entered in one other
race and won it in the same man
ner in which he did the first by distanc-
ing the field he took particular pains.
however, not to look down the course
until about half an hour after he had
finished. thus allowing the field ample
time to cross the tape.
We are very proud of our boy rider,
even though he is a little rusty on j..
A. W., rules, and we predict for him
many brilliant. victories on his bike.
He is ''crakajack. y

rightly directed. There Is comfort i'm
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis

ly removes, That is why il is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal

organs on which It acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order TO get it's bene--

chase, that you have the genuine hrti-

The above is high minded and gen
erous. Let every Populist paper in the
Fourth congressional district speak the
same words. Charles Curtis is a brave
man fighting for principle. Let mo
stones be placed in his path" He
should have a majority that should
silence the New York Post and all other
Wall street organs and persons that
are fighting him.

of the gold bug politicians say he must

know who furnishes the votes to send
Mr.. Curtis to congress, the Republican
voters of the Fourth district, or the
Wall street contingent? Nobody ever
called Charley Curtis a fool. and he
will allow his people to make his plat
form, and will be elected on it, too.

Much has been said in regard to the
candidacy of Rev. H. E Ballou for con-
gress from the First district. We have
refrained from pushing Mr.. Ballou for
ward, for the reason we supposed Mr..
BrOderick was true to the cause of sill
yer. But we find he is hedging; that he
is working his way into the gold camp,
and that he can no longer be trusted.
This makes the way clear for a fervent
silver man, and as such we recommend
Mr.. Ballou. He has the capability also
of stating his position clearly and intel
ligently, and the Peoples Party con-
vention at Leavenworth can do no bet
ter than to nominate Rev. H. E. Ballou
for congress.-Nemaha News.
The State Journal doesn't believe a
word Of it. Mr. Broderick has been a
bold, fearless friend and active worker
for free silver. AS such he deserves the
support of every voter in his district,
Republican, Democrat and Populist.
Now is the time for all free silver men
to stand together. Populists can show
that they are men Of high principle by
supporting free silver Republican con-
gressmen, while free silver Republicans
have already generously given their
local support to PopuIists in districts
where candidates running are doubt
full No man can afford to let partisan
ship interfere with patriotism this year.
1t is the welfare of our common country
that is at stake.

Mr.. Willis L. Moore, chief of the
weather bureau. has sent out the fol-
lowing explanation of the difference
between a tornado and a cyclone,
which should enable people to make
their choice without hesitation. He
says:
The tornado is a sudden outburst
of wind in an otherwise quiet, suItry
atmosphere; it is ushered in by a loud
indescribable roar, similar to a con-
tinuOus roll Of thunder; it's path is
very narrow-seldom more than 500
feet wide at greatest destruction; it
moves, generally, from southwest to
northeast, and rarely extends more
than 20 miles: it very often rises in the
air, to descend again at a point a few
by thunderStormS, with often a bright
glow in the cloud; this cloud has usual
" a funnel shape, which appears to be
whirling. though some observers have
described its appearance like that of
a huge ball rolling forward. A tor
nado may be considered as the result
of an extreme development of cOndi-
tions which otherwise produce thun-
derstorms.
A cyclone on the other hand, is a
miles in diameter, and some times can
be followed half around the world; the
winds circulate about it from right to
left. or the way one turns clock hands
backward lin the southern hemisphere
this motion is reversed). The air
pressure always falls as one approach
es the center, where, at sea, there is
q pOrtentOuS calm, with clear sky Wis
rise to hurricane force, but are not to
be compared with the extreme vio-
Ience of the tornado before which
the most solid structures are RACED.

The New York Sun, which is the most
unpleasant of all the gold standard ad-
vocates, and is owned in Wall street,
most of its stock being held there,
grows gay over David Overmyer Of To-
peka. It says editorially:
The Hon. David Overmyer of Kan
sas. though he is framed in silver, must
feel an itching to bolt the nomination.
When a goodly man and a portly hops
heatedly up and down, between the
empyrean and the floor Of the conven-
ton, perspiring poetry at every pore,
scattering thoughts that breathe hard
and words that burn with snap and
sputter, it is a trihing irritating for
him to find that all his exercise has
been taken for nothing. The Hon. DAY.
id Overmyer praised with silver praise
the Hon. Silver Brick Bland; crowned
him with laurels; pasted him all over
with the 1oveliest notices in prose and
verse; surprised the Bald Eagle of the
Ozarks by depicting him, in quotation
marks, as "a singer, singing ever
sweet; a charmer, charming ever wise;''
exhibited him as the greatest and
grandest character now visible outside
of the collection of wax ttfggers;' and
finally implOred the other POpulists to
vote for the Lebanon Moses, by the
ashes of their ancestors, by the memoir
les of their great and, generated dead,
by the duty which they owed to pos
terity, and by the name of all that men
hold sacred Sixteen to one is what
the red convention held sacred, and yet
it puffed the words of Overmyer away
and left Silver Brick to sit fOrlOrnly by
the side of his mules and mediate upon
ingratitude. Mr.. Overmyer, too, has
reason to camplain and kick.

BLAINE rs GOOD ENOUGH RE
PUBLTCAN FOR Us.

PUBLICAN FOR Us.
That greatest Of Republican states
men, James G. Blaine, spoke in the Uni
ted States senate, February Z. 1873 as
follows. The quotations are taken
from the official congressional record
and the words given are his exact
words, Notwithstanding the effort Of
gold organs to discredit them:
81 believe the struggle now going
on in this country and in other coun-
tries for single gold standard would,
If successful, produce widespread dis
aster in and throughout the CONNER
ciaI world. The destruction of silver
as money, and establishing gold as
the sole unit of value, must have a
ruinous effect on all forms of property
except those investments which yield
a fixed return i'm money. These would
be enormously enhanced in value, and
would gain disprOportionate and I'M
fair advantage over every other spe-
cies of property. If, as the most re-
liable statistics affirm, there are
nearly $1,000, 900, 900 of coin or bull
lion in the world, not very unequaIIy
divided between gold and silver, it is
impossible to strike silver out of exc
istence as money without results that
will prove distressing to millions and
utterly disastrous to tens of thou
sands.
81 believe gold and silver coin to be
the money of the constitution, in
deed, the money of the American peo-
pie anterior to the constitution, which
the great organic law recognized as
quite independent of its own existence.
No power was conferred on congress
to declare that either metal should not
be money. Congress has, therefore,
in my Judgment, no power to demon
etize silver any more than to demon
etize gold; no power TO demonetfze
either any more than to demOnetize
both. In this statement l am repeat
ing the weighty dictum of the first
of constitutional lawyers. If, there
fore, silver has been demOnetized,
am in favor of remOnetizlng it. If
its coinage has been prohibited, am
in favor of ordering it to be resumed.
If it has been restricted, am In favor
of having it enlarged
In the same speech Mr. Blaine also
spoke exactly as follows:
1.-The European countries when
driven to full reconciliation, as
believe they will be, must of neces-
sity adopt their old ratio of Is15 of
silver to one of gold.
ssThe responsibility of re-estabIish-
ing silver in its ancient and honorable
place as money in Europe and Amer
lea deVOlVes really on the congress of
the United States. If we act here
with prudence, wisdom and firmness,
we shall not only successfully re-
mOnetize silver and bring it into gem
eral use as money in our own coun-
try, but the influence of our example
will be potential among all European
nations with the possible exception
of England. Reconciliation here
followed by general reconciliation
in Europe will secure to the United
States the most stable basis for its
currency that we have ever enjoyed
and will effectually aid in solving all
the problems by which our financial
situation is surrounded"
