right. We all remember the story Of

upon him that God was following and

went on alone. Looking back a few
minutes later he found the dog still

a third time he heard the patter of the

A NEW MOVE.
In the License Fight Was Made on
Monday.
fWindsor Ledger.l


The petition of Mr.. w. Z. Harreil
was presented for license by Hon.
James Edwin Moore. The Commission
ers were advised by Mr.. j. Is. Martin
whom they have employed by the year.
They refused to grant license. Just as
the board adjourned for the day Deputy
Sheriff Burden proceeded to arrest
Messrs. Pritchard, Chairman; andNich-
oils, Smell and Ward. They were ar
rested on a warrant issued by j. A. Mod
lin, Justice of the Peace Of Woodyille
township, on the charge of willfully and
unlawfully failing to perform a duty
in refusing to issue license. Captain
Outlaw has always voted for license, so
he was not arrested. The four com
missioners, under advice of counsel,
waived an examination and were rec
ognized for their appearance at court.
The matter created quite a commotion.
AS is well known this paper thinks
license should have been issued by the
commissioners, until some expression of
sentiment was had by the voters. The
Democratic plan Of local option follow
ing an election to that end is, we think,
the best. But we must say that the ar
rest of the commissioners was ill adj
vised. No one believes that the COM
missioners are actuated by any but the
very purest motives in refusing license.
They can't be bullied and scarce "
indictments.

it to hens to gauge their laying ca

mates that the gain in eggs laid each

not explain whether or not it is due to

New York, Feb. 27.--A complimentary
luncheon was given at the Hotel Bar
tholdi to-day to William Jennings Bryan
Elliott Danforth, the chairman of the
Democratic State committee, presided, and
in responding to the address of welcome
of Mr. Danforth, Mr.. Bryan made IL red
not speech, encouraging the bimetallists
and declaring that the free silver fight
must 20 on. He said in part:
81 have never lost the opportunity
since the election to assure those who la
bored for free coinage here that we, who
in the West ana South have more of local
victory to rejoice over, recognize the valor
with which you made the fight. | do not
know of any Democrat or free silver Re
publican OF Populist who deserves more
credit than those who made the fight in
New York city, which Is the centre of the
gold influence ill the United States.
II appreciate the work which you have
done and the moral courage which it has
required, and when the history of those
years is written the teNtman will have
to say that there were heroes in those
days and that New York, New England
and the Eastern States furnished their
share of those heroes.
II want to say to those who have
fought that the fight is not done have
found grenI many who had not been
with us before election day or Oh election
0ny, who have come TO us since the eiec.
ton. If your experience has been the
same as mine, yor. will find that there
has been IL profound disappointment
among many who were led to believe that
the maintenance of the gold standard, or
the positive declaration that it would he
maintained, would restore confidence,
revive business and bring back prosper
ity. This has not been the result.
The gold standard is doing now Just
what it has always done. 1t is helping
those who own money and hurting those
VINO are producing wealth.
81 want to say that the agitation will
go on until every American citizen under
stands the money question and then we
want them to vote on it and settle it.
But don't believe any question can be
settled through the intimidation practiced
through money lenders and employers
Men must he free. They must have the
right heart, and believe the question
cannot be settled untilt he verdict is that

acterized rs IL gift, Il subsidy, to the rail
roads.
Mr.. Tillman defended the provision and
declared Mr.. Buffers argument IL piece
of senti mentality. He said there was en-
tircly too much scntimentality in the
south. What it needed was more practi-
cability. This WAS followed by warm
md rapid exchange of compliments he :
ween the Senators of the two adjoining
States.
Mr.. Buffers amendment was defeated,
