st. Valentines day was Observed in
this little burg by a. dance in the af-
ternoon for the children and one in
the evening for the adults Valentines
were on sale in the hall both afternoon
and night. A postoffice was estab-
lished in the hall and many were the
hits that passed through the office, not
only to those present but to many who
did not attend. "A good time was had
and all enjoyed themselves, especially
during the evening. Some few were
awful happy as they carried full jug
of king alcohol and made the vicinity
Of the dance resound with their war
Whoops.
The North Bench school of Woodland
will give an entertainment and. pall
on the evening of the 21st with a 1ree
dance for the children in the afternoon
All is under the management OF MISS
Cook, their teacher.
It looks rather curious to see wagons
on our streets at this season OF the
year, but it is wagon or nothing now
as ploughing is out of the question: 70
any extent
MY mind refers back to the cam
paigns of 1S93-4-5 Scarcely a Repub-
lican speaker stood up in our little
town but did his best to induce all to
join with him, for said he 1T is TO your
best interests to join hands with the
Republicans if for no other purpose
than to have all our state and educa-
tional affairs run on an economical ana
honest principle and the one main rea-
son why you should join US is that we
are the true and only friend of silver
Speakers on the Democratic side Will
and no doubt have tried to make you
believe that through them the only
hope for silver lies. Don't let them
hoodwink you and lead you astray, Tor
tell you that through US is the only
hope for silver. The other party make
you every promise, not only through
their speakers but in their platforms,
but they do not keep them; they are
false to you and to themselves we
not only make you these promises but
we keep them in every instance and we
stand here openly bGApre you and
challenge you to show us one promise
broken or one pledge unfulflled."
Now while looking over the actions Of
our state legislature, a MAJOR
ity of which is composed of
that party which promises econ
omy in state and national al
fairs. when I see the time fooled away
and nothing done only some legislation
tending toward fat offices and big Sdla-
rfes. when I contemplate the near APP
proach of the end Of the session, ana
so much needed legislation, / see a falr
prospect for this legislature TO wind up
as did our constitutional convention,
then what? Why. somebody will be
asking some future legislature to APP
propriate three, five or ten thousand
dollars for pay for extra time just as
c. E. Allen is now asking congress to
appropriate for extra time put in by
the constitutional convention, the ma
iority of which were of the economical
class with which this nation is blessed.
7 hOpe. congress will say no to Mr.. Al
len but [ fear will not, as all, or the
most Of the amount is claimed by
members of their own party, and as
party sympathy is very strong no
doubt they viii get it. We can plainly
see from every days proceedings how
much they favor economy. And as to
the silver problem, the action of the
joint session shows very plainly how
they are going to give US free silver.
Oh, yes they'll give it to us Gin a
horn. Had they any intention of do
ing so why did they not express it by
their votes It would have placed
them on record as fair and honest and
show to the people that they kept their
promises or tried to do 50, even if it
was the first attempt in the last thirty
years. They We're not smart or they
would have voted fer the measure as
they knew full well that the man in
the chair would put his foot on it.
Then they could raise the cry we did
all we could for silver, but you
wouldn't have it after we gave it to
you. But that would have been one
move toward fulfilling their promises
and that was uositivelv against nature
it is curious that neople viii not come
to their senses. It would seem as
though after sustaining that party for
thirty years and allowing them to run
the nation or place it ON the edge of
a precipice where a child could hurl
it into utter oblivion, that our eyes
would be open to the fact and we could
plainly see the position we are getting
into. Cbut there are none so blind as
those that won't see) and make an
immediate halt, right about face and
forward march under the banner of
that party II economy. Justice. .equali-
~ TO all and special privileges to none,
those who honor and follow in the foot
steps Of the immortal Jefferson.
