BiMETALLlSM.

Now that the so-called Stree silver
organs have ceased their foolish snarling
at the proposed bimetallic movement, 1t
may be in order for sound sense element
of our population to take zip this import
ant question and consider it seriously, in
the light of such information as may
have been gathered from time to time by
those who have made special study of a
sub iect in which the American people
are deeply interested. 1t is of no use to
argue that this interest ia confined to a
particular faction, class, or clique, or
that the rank and file have been forced to
accept it by the whip of party leaders.
We have specific information in the shape
of figures, upon which to base our con-
illusions in this regard. When we con
slider that the independent free silver
coinage proposition received in the last
election 6,50O,0OO votes, and the inter
national bimetallism proposition more
than 100000 votes, while the Bynum-
Cochran. Cuckoo proposition was let down
with something like 10000 votes, there
is undoubtedly ground for concluding
that the American people are really IN
favor of taking some action in the BIZ
metallic question.
The Cleveland oracles have also spoken
loud and long to US from out the depths of
ignorance and despair, coming ideas into
language to the effect that Europe, and
particularly Great Britain, is either in
different to, or contemptuous OF the move
ment set on foot by Mr.. Mckinley and
represented by his recently appointed
commissioners, who are to inaugurate
negotiations with European powers. OF
course we hear from the cuckoos that the
question is dead. Some contend that tits
only dead for time, others that its de-
mise is final and that it will not again
revive to the extent of becoming live
issue in the political struggle. OF course
this is all rank nonsense. Even in En-
gland the cuckoo politicians can find
nothing to confirm such an opinion. On
the contrary, the action taken In the house
of commons on the 18th of March, 1896,
indicates with sufficient clearness the
position of the Salisbury government,
and gives ample assurance of hearty CO.
operation in the work about to be under
taken by the commission recently APP
pointed by Mr.. Mckinley, composed of
such eminent bimetallists as Messrs. VOL
colt, Stevenson and Paine. If any further
proof is necessary that England stands
ready to cooperate with these gentlemen
in settlement of this question, ii may
be found III the April number of the
London National Review, the official or
gan of the British Bimetallic league. In
a long and very able article on this sub
ject we find such statement as the fol-
lowing:
"The British government is perfectly
ready to cooperate in general settle
ment of the monetary question"
This article then goes on to show how
England has suffered through the demo-
netization of oliver, first in 1915 by
blunder OF her own, and later in 1873 by
the triple blunder Of France, Germany
and the United States, an error which the
Review ascribes to "human ignorance
Ind 'downright folly"

tits evident that the Democratic minor
ity in congress, especially the minority in
the house of representatives, is composed
of two widely differing factions, and these

ONE reason why the president has not

the fact that several of the candidates for

men with dog in the manger dispositions
and having none but the lowest and most
selfish aims to serve are at the bottom of

Deserving the Contempt ofthe People

Bailey, the leader of one faction of the
Democrats in the house, brands as an
"infamous lie" the charge by other Dem
oorats that he wears "Reed's collar"
Nobody ever saw the Democracy while in
the minority in such wrangle as it is in
today. Bailey, Of course, is an incapable,
and never ought to have been selected to
lead anybody or anything. The Dem
ocrats have many ADLER and more ex-
perienced men in the house, but none of
them have the confidence of the entire
party. Seldom has the Democracy in
congress been in finer shape than it is
now to win the contempt of the country.

rem soon scattered to their homes in
the highest spirits.
The Episcopal church Sunday
school had jolly, good time at the
church last Monday evening, the oc
casion being the Christmas demon
stration on the part of the pupils.
There was singing, a number of read
ings, and a distribution of large
quantity of candy and nuts among
the pupils. The old folks also came
in for share. Rev. w. H. Knowlton,
rector Of the church, was presented
with $50 bill by his congregation.

THE '97 SANTA
at Redwood Sunday
School Exercises.

Three Sunday schools of this city
observed the birth of the Savior the
evening before Christmas. 1t was a
superb evening for the occasion-not
too warm or not too cold, but just
pleasant enough to make the children
think that all things we're coming
their way. The Presbyterian church
Sunday school festivities occurred as
soon after the supper hour as the pu-
pills and parents could get to the hall,
while the Methodist and Christian
church Sunday schools came on at
7:30 o'clock, all of them with an ex-
cellent show for the pupils.
At the Christian church a large
crowd was present, aside from the pu-
pills, to witness and participate in the
exercises. Mrs. White, wife of the
pastor, had the arrangements in
charge, and gave the pupils something
new. A small cabin had been erected
on the platform, with three sides ex-
posed to view. The roof was covered
with snowy batten, and the poles we're
ornamented with evergreen. In the
rear of the cabin was neatly con-
structed fireplace and from the top
rose the chimney. The exercises op-
ened with music, and was followed by
recitations, etc., by the pnpils. One of
the acts was an impersonation of a
class of heathens now being taught by
Miss Frost, formerly of this place, but
now missionary in India. The little
pupils did this in 3 pleasing manner.
Elder K. W. White made a pleasing
address on the occasion. A bell was
tappedin the rear of the church, and
while the attention of the pupils was
directed to that portion of the build
ing Santa Claus made his appearance
down the chimney and out into the
cabin. His appearance created a
great deal of merriment. He distrib-
uted candies and nuts and pop corn
balls among the crowd, and the re-
