SCHOOL LAND ADVERTISING.

SCHOOL LAND ADVERTISING.
A little ad IN this issue mentions
the leasing Of school lands and makes
us offer some suggestions to the pow
ers that be, in reference to the gen.
eral subject Of such advertising.
First, we want to say, that we are
not criticising anybody in particular,
for we have not taken pains to look
up as to whether any person, any
body, or the statute, is to blame; Sc
cond, we may say, that in 50 small a
matter as the present leasing of hay
lands, q very little notice might be
sufficient. but when it comes to the
sale or long lease uf school lands, the
present system of advertising in only
one paper In county is absurd and
unbusinessllke, and would not be
done by any private person or corpora
tion, who had so large list Of lands
to sell, or lease, which are scattered
all over the county.
At the last sale in this county, this
winter, there was long list of valu-
able lands offered and it is safe to say
that not one-half the people in this
county knew of the sale until it was
over. We do not need to argue how
penny.wise and pound-foolish such a
procedure is. In our opinion, in q
county of this size, such notices
should be published in at least three
papers in full, aud at least a short
notice in each paper published in the
county beside.
The people have right to know
about these sales and long leases, and
on the other hand the school fund
would net much more money
by the additional attendance and
competition which would result from
such knowledge.
We do not want any one to construe
this criticism into a squeal because
we did not get the advertisement.
last winter; our argument is that
land sales and leases should be ad-
vertised to some extent in every pa
per, and in full in several papers in
each county and we think everybody
who has had anything. to do with
these sales will admit that we are
right.

that except as q brief matter of news,
the troubles and tribulations of the
Pink Paper and Messrs. Perrault and
Gagnier have no special interest to us
and probably not to our readers; but
we think it only fair play to allow
people who are accused by the Pink
Paper Of crime, to deny it in the
PIONEER EXPRESS, and as long as the
present publishers Of the PIONEER
EXPRESS are of that opinion, they
will probably do as they have done
even If Mr.. Wilson don't like it. On
the other hand, we would suggest,
that both sides who are directly in
terested in the quarrel, having fully
expressed their opinions of each other
in public print, and as nothing new
In that direction can be developed,
that the case now be taken to court
where it belongs and the differences
settled there. Certainly Mr.. .Gagnier,

per, can easily have Mr.. Wilson put

ISSUED FRIDAY MORNING.
DESERVING THE ISSUE.


The democrats have been accused
of deserting the tariff question after
using it as a hobby for years and rid
ing it to death. While the democrats
have IN no manner forsaken the in
terests of tariff reform, they are able
to recognize the appearance of other
grave public question into the arena
Of politics. Up to date the republt-
cans have only one idea which their
logical aud probable presidential can
didate voices. On all other questions
he is silent. Protection, protection.
thou art our god, and for thee and,
through the and by thy power alone
can we hope to make Wm. Mckinley
president" Thus echoes the silent
prayer of every admirer and support
er of Ohio's fav0rite son. Before ac-
cusing the democrats of deserting the
tariff question, our republican breth-
rem should investigate and find II
they are not doing the opposite just
little more than will be acceptable
to the people.-G. +. Plaindealer.
The Plaindealer practically ac-
knowledges the accusation made
against the democrats by making an
other accusation against the republi-
cans as an answer.
The republicans recognize the full
importance of the financial question,
but as symptom only. The reason
that the republicans stick to the
tariff question is because the
present tariff system is more than
any thing else the cause of the finan-
cial depression. Every one, of all
parties, agrees that silver as a metal
is cheaper as measured in gold than
it was twenty years ago. The re-
publlcans believe that this difference
in the metals is largely due to ma
tural causes, particularly, because of
the enormous increase in the produc-
tion of silver, and the republicans do
not houe or expect to make any great
change In the bullion value of silver,
except that an increased business will
demand more silver. But the repub-
.llcaps DO expect ~ proper and busi-

without borrowing from the, Jews or
having an annual deficit of $3O, O,OOO,-
900. The republicans did this for 80
years; they overcame in that time
far greater financial problems than
this. They created paper currency
for the necessities of war, and then
when the war was over placed that
currency on coin basis In spite of
the earnest opposition of the demo-
cratic party. The republican party
that took paper greenback of no in
trinsic value and at one time worth
about thirty-five cents in purchasing
power and made 1T full dollar, can
= by the same methods take silver
coin whose intrinsic value lis sixty
cents and make it good for 100 cents
all over the world; and when that is
done everybody will be satisfied ex-
cept silver-mine owners who want a
big price for silver and populists
whose real desire is to have the gov
ernment present them with enough
money to pay their debts.
