.sCYN1C, in the Glendive In
dependent, writing on the pres
ent financial question, gives the
following reason for hard times,
which is to the point: ''If | were
asked to give the true reason for
hard times [ think 1 could do it;
and 1 wouldn't lay it to the
money OF tariff questions either.
It is all summed up in these two
words. s'Credit System. That
is the rock on which our bust
ness men go to pieces, and make
such crisises as those of 1893
possible. If every man in the
United States had his debts paid
we wouldn't hear anything
about financial agitation, and a
failure would be an impossiblity.
The people need instruction in
conservative, upright methods
of doing business far more than
they do in anything else. They
need to be taught that if they
have $1,000 capital they should
confne their operations to a
$1,000 business, instead Of swell
ling it out to a 900 or 5000;
eventually losing all they origi-
nally put in. Practical instruc-
tion in the benefits resulting
from buying and selling for cash
are more profitable than a car

The democratic party has
spoken. It's candidates are w.
j. Bryan, of Nebraska, for presi-
dent, and A. M. Sewall, of Maine,
for vice-president. The conven-
tion adopted a free silver plat
form and the country will soon
be called upon to choose between
the sound money platform of the
republican party or the free
silver platform of the demo
cratic party.

FREE COINAGE.

AS this topic seems to be agitating
the public mind more than any other,
and the Courier asks for enlighten-
ment will try and shed the light of
my views on him, hoping that the
readers of the Courier will take inter-
est enough in the question to look up
any statement may make and see ii
they are not correct, and in this way
we will all get more information on the
subject which needs careful study and
correct reasoning. Let us see what
this free coinage is that the populists
or peoples party and wing of the
democracy are asking for, and
claiming that it will cure the evils of
the government, no matter what the
cause. Now free coinage means that
the United States mints shall be
opened to the free and unlimited coin
age of silver at ratio of 1G to l, SO
that man who has any silver bullion,
no matter where such bullion came
from, may take it to the United States
Mint and have it coined into money of
what ever denomination he chooses.
from one dollar down, the government
returning to him the identical silver he
brought to the mint, the only differ
ence being that it has the government
stamp on it. Now under law of this
kind the silver kings of the west can
take 37l4 grains of silver. worth today

finishing the race which was
given to Mr.. Majors Silver Dick
and the purses divided. The
next was a running race, free to
all. There were four entries,
Linden, owned by the Sinclair
boys. Jack, a bay entered by
Fred Mayer, Tiny. owned by
H. P. Hammer, and Bay Jim, the
Hope horse, ridden by the fellow
who crowded Linden from the

mile dash, best two out of three.

paraded after which an adjourn
ment was made to the ball ground
to witness the ball game between
Hope and Cooperstown for the
A. o. U. w. silver cup. Coop
erstown met with it's usual luck,
having the game won in the first
four innings and then collapsing
and going to pieces, and Hope
won the cup by score of 25 to 8.
We are of the opinion that the
least said of this game the better
for Cooperstown. The clay
pigeon shoot was commenced but
the trap broke and that ended
that sport. The foot race was
won by Hughes, of Clifford, Will
son second. The bowery dance
seemed to be a bowling success
and the floor was kept warm
right along until the early hours
of morning. There was also a
dance at the engine house. There
was merry -go-round on the
ground. besides the various cane
racks. etc, SO that the people
had plenty of opportunities to
spend their money. Taking it
all in all the picnic was grand
success and it was nothing more
or less than a regular Fourth of
July celebration on, a different
day. The Hope people are en-
titled to vote of thanks from
this lodge for their attendance in
such large numbers, and we ex-
tend the thanks of the lodge in
advance: We will reciprocate

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT
Furnished by the Associated Press to
the State Journal

Chicago, April 8.-Wheat turned very
bullish today. 1t started rather weak
on favorable rains reported from wheat
growing states and decline in European
markets. May opened at $3.50. or 1sc
lower than Mondays closing prices. It
soon sold off to 6615c and then on the
belief that Armour was a heavy buyer
it rose to 667s Q67c. This caused some
excitement and in a short time it went
to 671zc then to CSC. A second cable
from Liverpool reported wheat 1l@1ad
lower. This gave May a second set
back and it declined to 671hc. The Ar
mour talk continued, however. and re-
NAMED a bull feature.
May corn opened 3k0Ac over Mon
days closing and held strong with the
advance in wheat.
Oats easy at 2O1lc for May.
Pork. lard and ribs all strong on light
hog receipts.

1t is very evident that people have
been living in Topeka who ate horse
flesh.
About two weeks ago four men, two
women and two or three children ap-
peared at the corner of Twelfth and
Lime streets and pre-empted a one
story two-room house owned by Jona-
than Thomas.
The house has a cellar.
Yesterday they moved away in the
direction of Kansas City and an inves-
LEGATION showed that the cellar con-
tanned a dead horse parts Of which had
been removed as with knife.
The neighbors insist that the people
were eating horse meat though nobody
saw them at it.
The people came from the west and
appeared to be horse traders, or as a
neighbor said, 'gypsys-" They We're
poor and occasionally asked food OF
the neighbors.
There were undOubted evidences that
meat had been sliced off the dead car
cass and there was a great deal more
removed than the two or three dogs
with the outfit could need.
The police department was notified
this afternoon and the horse removed
