NO FISH-WAY

The dam across the river at Bra
denis park, where the irrigation water
wheel is placed, gives the fish no OPP
portunity to come up stream for
spawning which they do in the early

the effect of taking all the fish out of
the river in the limits of the city.

SILVER HAS WON The DAY.

The fight for the control OF the
National Democratic convention has
been made and the friends OF the free
coinage of silver have Won glorious
victory. 1t is conceded now by the
gold bugs that the silverites will have
a two thirds ma ority and thus nom
in tie their candidates for President
and Vic President.
The Republicans have nominated
Mckinley upon a single standard
platform. This action makes the re-
suit of the general election uncertain
and make the chances for silver
to win much more brighter than it
ha; been.
The probability is however, that
the election will be thrown in the
House, which being largely Repub-
lican, will elect Mckinley and the
Senate will probably elect Demo
crat as Vice President. All we can
do in the meantime is to marshal our
forces, watch and wait and be pre-
pared for any emergency.

cause him to fall upon his knees and
thank his God that the Democratic
party has made it possible for him TO
obtain the priceless boons which he
claims has been denied him.
The measures of the Republican
party were undoubtedly war ones and
we thank Col. Knots for conceding
this. The warts claimed to have ended
thirty-one years ago, but these same
measures are in force today to the
/ injury of the laborers of the country
and to the benefit of the rich Re
publican bankers of the North.
We have judged fairly, been just,
looked at matters as they really are,
and have given the public our conclu-
sions.
We could have published severer
criticisms of Col. Knots defeat than
that taken from the Orangeburg
Times and Democrat, but in Difference
to his feelings, We used our judg
ment and gave the unvarnished facts.
The National Republican party at
St. Louis, in seating the Webster
faction, which represents the doctrine
of hate and negro supremacy, has
unqnalifedly set its seal of condem-
nation upon the contentious of Col.
Knots, unmistakably repudiated bis
assertion and fully sustained the
Dispatch in all claims and renders
a continuation of this controversy
unnecessary.
