THINKING OF.
The cause Of bimetalism must be won
at the ballot box in the United States,
and it will be won. Its friends in Eu-
rope are growing in numbers, and
when we lead the way they will be able
to break through the power of the few
who now coerce cabinets to disregard
the voice of the people speaking
through their legislative bodies.-Har-
rington Record.
The Union Republicans would not
adopt the resolutions offered endorsing
the Mckinley administration. Evil

There seems to be a studied effort In
some sections of the state to discredit
and render obnoxious the provisions of
the Adams bill, passed last Winter by
the Legislature. taxing investments in
the state. However full of holes or
faulty as to it's construction, doubtless
the intent of the Legislature was in the
line of the public demand for the equal
ization of taxation. Ii seems that the
Legislature at its coming session should
remedy the defects in the law rather
than repeal it. Every citizen should be
willing to bear his just proportion OF
axation.-Delaware Pilot.
Rev. r. e. Martindalo, the new pre-

There is no reason why one town
should furnish men for office year after
year. Is it possible that there are no
Democrats in the county good enough
to hold office outside of one town or
one hundred? and that only a chosen
few should get all the county patron
age? If such is the case. then a new
deal is needed and will be demanded. --

We wonder IL the Union Republican
party of this state realizes just where
it is as a party. In every state in the
Union there is a Republican party
! President Mckinley was nominated anc
elected as a Republican. and not as z
Union Republican. Such being the case
how can the Union Republicans expec
to share in the spoils that fall from the
Federal table? Because disguise it al
