FREE SILVER THE ISSUE.
There Is No Other Question So Important
to tho peopIe of the Nation

There Is No Other Question So Important
to tho People of the Nation.
Former Governor Stone of Missouri,
in his New York interview, asserted
that free silver would be the issue in
1900 and that William J. Bryan would
be the Democratic candidate for presi-
dent.
New York newspapers We're inclined
to question the correctness Of Stones
assertions, but kilograms from the nem-
bers Of the Democratic national conven-
ton, which adopted the Chicago plat
form, fully confirm all the claims made
by the former governor of Missouri.
There is no issue moro important to
this nation than the monetary issue
There is nothing that could more con-
duce to the prosperity of the people
than the free coinage of silver and gold
at a ratio of 16 to l.
This was what $500. 900 citizens of
the United States voted for in 1896
This is what they demand an opportu-
nifty to vote for in 1900. And these voters
believe that hundreds of thousands Of
men who were coerced into voting for
gold at tho last presidential election and
hundreds Of thousands of other men
who voted for "bimetallism" (fooled
by the claims Of Mckinley will at the
next presidential election vote for silver
and William J. Bryan.

NO large Standing Army.

The plutocracy. while charging that
the Democracy is seeking new issue.
is depending upon the issue it is at.
tempting to make on the question of
foreign conquest to distract the atten-
ton Of the people from vital questions
Of taxation. finance, the aggressions of
corporations and the subordination of
every branch Of the federal government
to the influence of concentrated wealth.
Once large standing army becomes a
fact, with the attendant force of Off
cialism that will grow up under the
colonization policy, election wiz become
a farce, our legislative halls and courts
the mere tools of an aristocracy that
will trample with IMMUNITY on consti-
tutional government and perpetuate its
power on the absolute destruction Of
personal liberty. Recorder.

Trying to Hold Their Jobs.

1t is only natural that clerks and
chiefs Of bureaus who are fearful Of
having their tenure Of office cut short
because there is no work for them
should. and actually do, lie awake
nights to devise ways and means for
creating works which will justify their
retention i'll Office. In this way have
grown up systems of checks and control,
of audit and accounting, SO elaborate,
so complicated and SO utterly useless as
to puzzle and defy every effort of the
sporadic reformer to rectify the abuse
and arrest the constantly growing evil.

Democratic Prospects In Central
West.

West.
In Illinois the Republican party is
split wide open. Its members are quar-
reling about the Allen bill, the schemes
Of Governor Tanner to defeat Senator
Cullom and elect himself to the United
States senate in 1901, the condition of
the state treasury, the quarrels of local
candidates in nearly every legislative
district and other troubles too numerous
to mention.
In Wisconsin the success of the "boo-
die book" campaign in the denomination
Of Governor Scofield and the prospects
Of silent bolt by at least one third of
the Republican voters illustrate Repub-
lican harmony in that state. The DEM
ocratic forces are splendidly organized.
In Iowa and Minnesota the conditions
are substantially the same. There is in
ternal was in the Republican party from
center to circumference.
In Indiana the Republican situation
is SO bad that it could be hardly worse.
The leaders know and acknowledge the
fact. There will be gain of several
Democratic congressman. A Democratic
legislature will be elected.
With all the facts in view the rosy
description of Republican prospects at
the west attributed to the secretary of
the Republican congressional committee
is subject TO large attachments in the
brilliancy of its coloring.

Andrew Peterson Knighted.

Many Of our older residents have not
forgotten Andrew Peterson, who lived
here in the COS and was a partner in
the mercantile business conducted I'M
der the firm name of Maldaner &
Peterson at Main and North Second
streets, the present location of w. A.
Beurhaus. Mr.. Peterson, who is now
a prominent business man of Chicago,
has recently been elevated to knight
ant happening are thus given by The.
Chicago Herald of the 9th inst.
"Andrew Peterson, president of the
Western State bank, is the newest
knight among Chicagoans. Mr.. Peter
son, who was formerly the Danish con-
sui in Chicago, has been just notified
through theDanish minister of'foreign
affairs that King Christian of Denmark
has created him a knight off the An
cient Order of the Dannebrorg. CIT is
a coincidence that Mr.. Peterson also
this month celebrates the t~Wenty-ffth
anniversary of his arrival in Chicago.
The banking firm of Peterson & Bay,
founded in 1878, was a few years ago
incorporated as the Western State
bank, Mr.. Peterson being elected
! president. For over ten years Mr..
Peterson has made his home at the,
Union League club. He has been a
widower for many years and has no.
children. AS president of the Hans
Christian Anderson Monument asso-
citation Mr.. Peterson came prominent
ly before the public, when two years
ago the statue of the great Danish
writer was unveiled. The order of
the Dannebrog, or, as it is called in
Danish, "Danneborg," was founded
according to popular belief on a mira
Gle. Tradition relates that at the
battle between the Danish Knights of
the Sword and the Esthonians and
Russians, in 1919, a red flag bearing
a white cross appeared from the
heavens and inspired the Danes with
courage. Waldemar H., in COM
memoration of the event, founded the
order of the Danneborg. 1t is the
second of the two Danish orders, the
order of the Elephant being the first.
While Denmark only occupies a third
rank among European states, her two
orders of knighthood command a high
respect because of the rarity of their
bestowal."
