ATTACK UPON PLAIN FOLK.

The petty, sn'iVe.lmg, and irrational New York Evening Post is outdoing itself in an effort to show why Gov ernor Mckinley should not be nomi- mated for the presidency It has been attacking the ex-governor freely and somewhat maliciously, and now it has turned its attention to the delegates who are to sit in the convention at St. Louis.
 The attack which The Post makes against the delegates is contemptible. It is similar to the attack made by the Phoenix Herald against the Mckinley men of Arizona. It declares that they fare generally shift!ess men or pro- eessional pohi tioians," that 'ta swarm of them are ignorant negroes from the south,' that a very large number of them are simple-manded farmers" and that probably not more than g dozen or two could get a five hundred dollar note discounted at a bank" The of dense is that the rank and file of the Republican party. from among whom the delegates have been chosen, are aot to be trusted because they are simple minded farmers" and men who could not get a note for five hund- red dollars discounted at bank. Those are terrible crimes. to be sure. If the @simple- minded farmers" are not ca pable of knowing what this country needs no one else lis. A man who can- not get note discounted at a bank is uot necessarily q dangerous citizen.
 If the convention is to be composed of that kind of men it will be repre- sentative body, and no mistake. The plain peopse-the farmers and the

Take away the law which fixes the price of gold and it's price would then be governed by its actual value just as silver is today. Give to silver the same legal enIac tmants that apply to gold and is price would remain at the unyarying figure So established. That's all there is to the question of metallic money. The 16 to 1 ratio is based On the proportion of the two metals esti- mated to be in existence and not on relative value of the metals. The only other way in which proper rat.o could be established would be to demonetize both metals throughout the world that their real value might be ascertained. This, too, of course, is impossible.

A SPEEDY DIVORCE.
How Joe Porterie Divorced a Mexican
 Couple.

Constable Joe Portertie is running opposition to the district court, for a couple of days since he divorced a Mexican couple. The Mexican popu.d- tiIon look upon Porterie as all powerful and a Mexican approached him with the request that he, the Mexican, be granted a divorce from his wife, who was agreeable. Porterie took the man to lawyers and stated the case. The lawyer gave the Mexican the summons who in turn thanked Porterie profuse- ly for the service.
 After securing the paper the Mexican hunted up another woman and pro ceeded with her to Tempe. The coy couple made am appearance before a justice of the peace and made the mod est request that they be united in mar riage. The justice was acquainted with the man and looked at him in as tonishment, saying that he was already married. The Mexican indignantly denied the assertion and said that he had been married, but was that day di- vorced. The perpleNed justice asked him who divorced him and he an swered Joe Porterie," at the same time flourishing the paper given him by the law1yrer. A glance was sufficient to show the justice what the paper was and explained it to the Mexican, who was laboring under the impression that it was a legal document that sev- cred the con nectiom existing between himself and wife.

wa -earners-are the ones most vital ly interested in a change of policy at Washington. But The Post goes even further and declares, in speaking of the delegates to St. Louis, that "the vast majority of them find it hard work to make a living" That asser- tion is an insult to every workingman who has been robbed of his work l1n- der the Democratic administration, and it is a gratu. .tous sheer at the plain folk of the country Coming from The Post the disgust shown for the masses of the people cain be readily under stood.
 The coming campaign is to be cam paign of the people, and the very fact that "a vast majority" of the delegates find it difficult to make living, nc- cording to The Post, merely empha- sizes the protest now being fled by the people of the United States against the perpetuation of the Democratic policy of catering first to the interests of foreign manufacturers and not at all to the interests of the people of this country.
 It makes no difference who is to be nominated at St. Louis so far as the principles at stake are to Ibe taken into consideration. The candidate named there will be the next president of the United States. The plain folk are ask ing for the nomination of Governor Mckinley, but if, through combiala- tion not mow apparent, some one else should be selected as the standard bearer of the party, the nominee would stand for the same principles which have been upheld by the man from Ohio.
 Principles are the issue, and Mckin- ley has the good fortune to be most closely identified with those principles hence his popularity The sneers and the insults of the Evening Post will count flor nothing. It would be de- lighted in the failure of Mckinley to secure the nomination, but it would find but little satisfaction in that. The man to lbe named at St. Louis will stand for the very things that McK:n- ley stands for. >es

Manufacturers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums.
