A Leaf from History.

In 1877 the republicans of Iowa
were for the free ard unlimited coin.
age of gold and silver at the ratio of
16 to /. The state convention was
held in June of that year, and it
adopted platform embodying the
following plank:
The public credit should be sacred
ly maintained, and the obligations OF
the government honestly discharged
ment of currency convertible with
coin, and therefore advocate the
gradual resumption of specie pay
lnents by continuous and steady
steps in that direction.
That the silver dollar, having been
the legal unit of value from the foun
dation of the federal government
until 1878, the law under which its
coinage was suspended should be re-
pealed at the earliest possible day
and silver made with gold a legal
tender for the payment of all debts,
public and private. We also believe
that the present volume Of currency
should be maintained until the wants
OF trade and commerce demand its
further contraction.
Ex-senator James F. Wilson, who
presided, and Frank Hatton, who
was chairman of the committee on
resolutions and reported the platform,
are dead. But John II. Gear, who
received the nomination for governor,
is still living, and an apostate to the
principles he then professed. Gear
is now United States senator, and
he is using his office and his indu-
nce.-besides making an evil, un-
patriotic use of the few years of life
remaining to him,-to maintain and
perpetuate the blighting gold stand
ard which his party condemned

claimant to the Is acres adjoining
they turned their cows into the lot, and
later moved an abandoned shanty upon
it and set up housekeeping.
Some time ago Harness laid claim to
the land and entered suit for forcible
entry and detainer, demanding rent.
In Judge Windes' court Mrs. Stier ap-
peared, blind and leaning upon staff,

the land. After Il few minutes DELHI
Grafton the jury awarded her the title,

Official Paper of County.

The president in his message
vetoilg the river and harbor bill
speaks of "the unhappy decadence
among our people of genuine and
trustworthy love and affection for our
government as the embodiment of
the highest and best aspirations of
humanity" apparently unmindful of
the fact that the financial policies of
John Sherman, accepted, endorsed
and enforced by Grover Cleveland
has done more to despoil the people
to rob them of their homes, make
them paupers, tramps, beggurs and
vagabonds, aided and assisted in this
infamous work by the money power
OF Europe and of the east, than had
ever before been done by legislation
and law since civilization came to
bless and humanize mankind. Those
who are robbed, plundered, ruined by
the unjust laws demanded by the opu-
lent and strong cannot have a deep and
abiding love for the authority that
has given these unjust privileges to
the pawnbrokers of the world. The
class to which the president alludes
believe governments are established
among men for the protection of the
weak, the strong and powerful being
amply able to take care of them
selves. When the weak and oppres-
sed behold their government SO adj
ministered as to add to the rich and
powerful all the aid that law can give
to schemes of further enriching that
class at the expense of the wealth
producers, Its tendency is
toward a decadence of love toward
the government which has given its
Influence and sanction to these
wrongs and to such men MS John

WELL TREATED AT ATHENS.
Boston Athletic Team Returns Homo
Pleased with the Trim.

Pleased with the Trip.
Crowned with victory and loaded
down with valises, honors and walking
sticks, the members of the Boston Ath-
letic association, who competed in the
Olympia games in Athens, have reached
their home.
John Graham, manager and trainer
OF the team, in speaking of the trip
said: "The Greeks carried out their
programme to the letter, and they de-
serve great credit for their manage
ment 1t must be taken into consid-
Grafton that the event was only re-
vival of the Olympia games of years ago,
and the Greeks were lacking in expert
ence. The royal family rendered all
the assistance in their power toward
the success of the games and treated lis
foreigners nobly. When we left Athens
the people cried out: 'Zeto, alas" which
means 'Victors, good-by.' Our yell was
what most pleased the natives. At the
top of our voices we would cry: B-a-a-
rah, rah, rah.' This so pleased the
king that he frequently requested us
to repeat it, and sometimes would join
in with u.s."

To Our Friends and Customer

After having several years expert
ence in doing business on the credit
system, we have come to the copclu-
sion to make q change. On the first
day of August 1896, we will commence
to do Il strictly cash bushes. We
know that we can demonstrate to
you the fact that the cash system will
be to your benefit as much as ours.
Friends and customers, do not think
that we are trying to impose upon
you by adopting the cash system. If
you could have the experience the
same as we have had, and see our
books at the end of the year you would
adopt the cash system. We know
that we can sell you goods cheaper
on cash basis. Therefore you will
be saving money and it will save us
a great deal of trouble. Thanking
you all for your valued favors in the
past, and hoping to be favored with
your patronage in future, we remain,
Yours truly

girl. Sorenzen demanded $500. a COM
promise was effected, johnson paying

dence making part If the trial seems
to have been fairly conducted, and no
new exculpatory evidence is produced,
and the sentence does not seem to
have been unduly severe, the presi-
dent refuses to interfere. He cannot
weigh the evidence as well as the judge
