WE had thought for several weeks
that "Windy Ben" had an internal
gathering" of some kind, but we
never located it in his breast, Your
diagnosis is all wrong, it is under the
belt in the region of the vermiform
appendix-it is only wind and now
that it has been worked off in his re-
form articles we may hope for par
tial recovery-but it will form again.
WE publish this week an article
showing how the present administra-
tion is saving money for the taX-pay
ers. We give figures from the report
filed by State Accountant Challinor
and they are as accurate as can be
made at this time. 1t is with more
or less fear and trembling that we do
this for ''Windy Ben" has said it
wasn't so and what Ben says goes. If
this state had few more Windy
Bens'' in Office to collect pay three
times for doing the dirty work of the
Pump legislature it would soon have
nothing left to aSseSs-nOt even a
state house. A nice man, truly, to
write reform articles for the press.
COPELAND county gives it out that
Webb McNall and Jim ReedeF are to
have the held all to themselves as
candidates to the national convention
from this district. This may be true
and then again it may not, but we are
inclined to the belief that the repub-
lican party outside Of Copeland coun-
ty will have something to say about
this at the proper time. Both of
these gentlemen are chronic office
seekers and one of them, at least, is
chronic office holder. They belong to
that class of politicians who seem to
think that the party has been organ
lied principally for their benefit and
for the purpose of supporting them.
There are plenty of good men in this
district who have not been continu-
ally and everlastingly sucking the
public teat who can represent US in
national convention with credit and
who have never thought that they
had a cinch on the party 1t has been
through the influence of just such
professional politicians that the party
suffered temporary defeat and it will
result in that way again unless we
learn something from the past and
act accordingly. Personally, neither
of these gentlemen are obnoxious to
US, but we make this plea in the in
terest of the republican party and Of
common fairness

Saturday morning about FIVE O'Clock
a FIRE occurred in the rear Of the resi-

of the Peoples National Bank, burn
ing the stable. a valuable horse and
COW, and other contents of the stable
Fortunately it was calm. or else a
large number of frame buildings in

justed and paid promptly as usual.

coined. This was during the period
when the free coinage law was in OPP
Grafton, though by order OF President
Jefferson the coinage of the silver dol
lar was suspended in the year 1906
and was not resumed until 1884.
Very few dollars were coined after
1883, but the Government purchased
and coined a large amount Of fraction
al silver from 1883 to 1873.
The coinage of the STANDARD
silver dollar was suspended in 1873,
at the request of the silver-mine own
ers of the West ard the coinage of the
TRADE DOLLAR of 400 grains was
made free. 1t was in furtherance of a
scheme to dump silver into China and
Japan, with which countries Mexico
had opened up quite a trade. This
scheme was a failure as it will be re-
membered these dollars soon ceased
to pass for 100 cents.
Then came the Bland-Allison and
Sherman Acts under which we have
accumulated silver coin and bullion
to the amoun of 5000, a73,S8I, yet
there are those who assert that the
Government has Disseminated against
the use of silver as a money metal.
We trust our friend is now able to
see that while gold is not redeema-
BILE, because it needs no redeemer,
silver has a redeemer and that re.
deemer is GOLD.

n AND COMMENTS.

The occasional rainfalls are causing
the wheat which has been sown re-
Gently to spring up rapidly.
The funeral Of Richard Boyer last
Sabbath was an unusually large one.
Death during the past two weeks
has visited many houses in our city,
bringing with it sorrow and sadness
to those who are lett to mourn the loss
Of a dear departed one. In some in
stances the extreme old gray-haired
matron or sire has been summoned,
in others, those in the bloom OF youth
as we'll as the infant, have been called
hence. Death is no respecter of per-
sons, and serves no notice Of its APP
proacfl, but in an hour when you think
not the Son of Man cometh. How
pleasant and c~ousoling, the fact as we
read, "In my Fathers house are many
mansions l go to prepare 4 place for
you. that where am there shalt thou
be also" "Welldone, good and faith
full servant" What a consolation this
must ia, VIII n the Jordan Of Death is
in view.
Hundreds and thousands of people
flock to points where they may have
their curiosity gratified by a sight Of
the Popocratic candidate for President,
as he swings around the circle on his
stumping tour. They see and hear
the orator, but hosts of them have no
further interests in him than a desire
to cast their ballots to help swell the
majority against his dangerous theor-
les; it somewhat resembles a great
circus, whose advertisements purport
to perform impossibilities, but the
credulous are inclined to believe every
word of it. After the performance
the SPECIFY is over, the multitudes
are disappointed, surprised and cha
grined to find they had seen and heard
so little. The clown is usually the
principal actor and is the center of at
traction to the eager and curious look
ers-on.
Thousands, eatenso Of thousands, of
people journey long distances to Can
ton, Ohio, to hear words of wisdom
from the lips of the Sound Money cam
didate of the Grand Old Republican
party, and they never go away disap-
pointed. During the last two weeks
Major Mckinley has intelligently adj
dressed probably a quarter OF a mil
lion of people at his own home in Cam
ton, representing various interests, to
all of whom he has spoken without
reserve, in words worthy the cham
pion of a great, glorious and righteous
cause words to be pondered and ac-
cepted, because based on truth, and
aimed to promote National honor, in
tegrity, peace and prosperity. To
open the Mills o~fIndustry means labor
for the millions. Labor means a lar
ger circulation of money with better
times, which will he hailed with de-
light universally, especially after be-
ing delayed with poverty, misery and
wretchedness the past four years.

Tuesday, Mr.. John Burkhart stated
that he had on his feet a comfortable
pair Of calf shoes that were purchased
of John Lyons IS years ago. The
shoes appeared to be in good condi-
ton, although Mr.. Burkhart said he
had used them rough and plowed in
them two seasons. The above speaks
well for Mr.. Lyons as a crafty and
practical shoemaker. 1t also shows
why Mr.. Lyons cannot build man
