The appeal of Dunlop the publishe,
of The Chicago Dispatch when he found
escape from prison was impossible, was
in the line of procedure now too com.
mon, an attempt to profit by the creation
of prejudice. The Dispatch some years
ago-The Pilot has no knowledge of ii
lately and bnt little at any time-was
much the same as the sheet which was
sent here mysterlously some years ago
by whom. no one knew, nor could the
identity of It's correspondent here be dis
covered. 1t was paper which no de-
cent man would care about reading, il
observed, and certainly would not allow
it to reach his family, 1t was not even
kept at newstands. Its make up adyer-
tised its contents. 1t gave the news OF
the haunts of vice under the pretext OF
exposure.
But this man now seeks to convey the
impression by his pronunciamento, that
the courts punished him because he
took the side of the poor against the rich
1t is the new cry grown old by repetition
Heaven help the poor when man who
would stoop to corruption of morals as
a money making scheme can pose as their
champion, and when punishment for vice
is construed as blow at labor.

AFTER the election which most en-
phatically declared for sound money, a
careful analysis of matters leading up to
the demand for free coinage of silver,
showed to tie satisfaction of every I'M
preiudlced person, that the republicans
were largely to blame for the false Ideas
on finance which prevailed. They were
disposed to compromise with the advo-
Gates of dishonest currency whenever the
latter advanced any theory Of financial
heresy. Their defense of sound money
was half-hearted and more IN the line of
apology than earnest advocacy. This
line of procedure was in striking con-
trast with the aggressive character of the
silver warfare.
The country pronounced 10 favor of
sound money, but the republicans do not
seem inclin ed to use their victory.
They are again temporizing and giving
aid and comfort to the opposition, The
silver people are not taking the advan.
tage of the situation they might and are
showing infatuation with the Barnum
method of their leader who is advertising
himself by means of book which good
taste would suppress,

The bill repeating the law under which

1t Is fact that the average teacher while
receiving less wages than a common

months salary every year attending ex-

And to cap the climax 1t is made to an.

NOTES FROM MEEME

Mrs. Mcdonald and Miss Mary Nc
Nulty started for Buffalo, N. Y. last
week
Mrs. VIM. Kelley of Newton died
last Friday night after a rev weeks
of terrible suffering. This death is
particularly pathetic, as she was only
a bride last year, and leaves a babe
of only few weeks to the tender
mercies of the world.
Hon. Chas. Sweeting is being sew
erely criticised in this section on ac
count of his action IN regard to the
statue of Pere Marquette. Whether
the act conforms to his own inclina
tons or he was made the tool of some
request the people will never for,
give him.
Anthony McNulty of Chicago, form
erly of this place, died last week from
the effects of a blow on the head
while acting as peace maker in do
nestle quarrel. Deceased was a sol
der in the civil war, enlisting in the
18th Wis. Vol. and accompanied Sher
man on his famous March to the Sea.

The convention of the Reform Press
Association at Memphis this week was
largely attended by populist editors from
the south and west. This association Is
an adjunct of the peoples party. The
proceedings are such as to remove all
doubt of the purpose of the editors, at
least, to cut loose from all alliance with
the silver democrats. The president In
his address demanded the resignation of
Butler as chairman of the national COM
mitee of the peoples party. 1t is evid.
ent to every one that the breach between
these two allies is steadily widening.
