James G. Blaine, 1871 believe the
struggle now going on in this country
and other countries, for a single gold
standard, would, if successful, produce
widespread disaster throughout the COM

as money, and the establishing of gold
as the sole unit of value, must have a
ruinouS effect on all forms of property,
except those invested which yield fixed
returns In money; those will be enorm-
ously enhanced in value, and would gain
a disproportionate and unfair advan-
tage over every other species of prop
erty."

SENATOR MANTLE'S VIEWS.

Senator Mantle returned from
Washington Monday. There u be no
doubt as to this sturdy Montanan's pos
ition on all matters which pertain to
the states welfare. The people whom
he represents love him for the enemies
he has made. and his utterances at this
particular time carry great weight.
In an Interview with the Standard he
said:
II don't think there is anything that
can prevent Mckinley's nomination on

what the silver delegates to the St.

THE CAUSE OF U

Congress proposes to adjourn and
leave the Cuban patriots without even
the friendly recognition of our govern
ment. 1t is a shame and a scandal
upon our country. These people have
been struggling for long and weary
months under all sorts of privations
and suffering, in the effort to establish
what we recognize as the common
right of all mankind-the right to
govern themselves. That is all they
are fighting for. Under this right,
this country of ours has grown up to be
a place Of power and influence, which
entities her o only to spur the rights

do not believe there is any such thing
as a divine right to rule, or that the
right comes by birth or inheritance for
n man to govern and rule other men.
The claim is a relic Of a barbaric age
when physical force and power we're
supreme and. men were compelled to
yield to the assertion OF men of brute
strength, but that time has passed and
the right no longer exists. The divine
right OF kings is abolished: man is his
own governor and ruler. The crown
OF Spain has no more right over the
people of Cuba than it has over the
people of Montana, and it is the duty
of this country of ours to give not only
words OF sympathy to the insurgents
of Cuba, but to extend to them mater
ial tangible aid, and to say to Spain
''hands off," What is the sense of a
whole lot of diplomacy, or of
visionary words and phrases about it.
The Cubans are right and our country
should help them to assert and main
tain their independence.

Our town and vicinity was made
very sad this evening, March 6,
by the return of the corpse of one
our best citizens, Mr.. W. J. Tip
ler's eldest son.
Pat has been in LAGRANGE for sew
eral months, employed by the T.
& p. r. r.
While there, he was taken i'll and
after several weeks of sickness died.
In Pats death his parents, broth
ers and sisters lose an obedient son,
kind and affectionate brother.
Our country loses an aspiring young
man.
Pat possessed traits of character,
which cannot be found in all boys
economy, industry and honesty.
We tender the deepest sympathy
of our hearts to the bereaved ones.
While their earthly altar is bro
ken to be united no more on earth,
our prayer Is that the one in Heav-
en- may be reserved, and the ties
now broken will be united around
the great altar of Gods mercy.
Let him that thinketh he's true,
Take heed lest he fall,
Was the word handed down
BY our Savior to all.
But God by the death of his son,
Has appointed a plan,
By which all humanity,
Can eternally stand.
By the throne of our Savior,
There remaineth a home,
And the angels of God,
Do welcome us come.
And while we miss Pat,
1t consoles us to know,
He has joined with the angels
On Canaan's bright shore.
He was diligent in study,
Economical with time.
And with temperament smooth,
To his associates he was kind.
His place is left vacant,
But his influence remains,
Which to initiate would give sue
cess.
Weep not, dear parents,
When you think of your loss.
But remember your Savior,
Who died on the cross.
And by his suffering and death,
Prepares you home,
Where sorrow and separation
Will never be known.
A FRIEND.

Boys are very bad, but l don't
know how we would get along
without them. When they are lit
tie they are very sweet, but when
they get big they are just horrid.
Boys are useful about house.
They can cut wood, pick up chips,
make fires, run errands, go to
market and do great many other
things. When they get large they
are nice sweethearts for the big
girls. Some boys are smart and
others are dull and stupid. Some
get whippings at school, and some
are nice and do not get punished.
Boys are not as smart as girls.

ResoutL0ns of Reapect.

Bolivar Lodge, Knights of Honor,
on learning of the death of our broth
er, w. ii. Doyle, desire to express
our sympathy to the family and
friends of the deceased. We feel
that in the death of our brother our
order has lost a valuable member,
the community in which he lived an
honored citizen and his family kind
and loving husband and father. It
is the sense of this lodge that our
deceased brother embodied those
qualities necessary to the formation
of true man and patriot and that he
was up to the full standard of BOTH
Modest and unassuming, he made no
display and boasted not of his vir-
tues, but in all the walks of life he
was guided by that golden precept,
edo unto others as you would have
others do unto you" As a citizen
he was brave and generous, and his
heart and hand were ever ready to
respond to the calls of duty. As
Knight of Honor, he was faith
full to its principles with love and
charity to all, and his example, to
provide for loved ones, deserves to
be emulated. Therefore,
Resolved, That we, as a Lodge,
revere his memory, and extend our
coincidence to the bereaved ones, and
hereby commend his virtues to those
left behind,
Resolved, That copy of this be
sent the family, and copy be pub
lished in the BOLIvAR BULLETIN.
