THERE ARE 8 )Ine gentlemen in
Washington who claim to represent
the opp osition to the infamous Loud
bill, the title of which should be
changed because the law requires
that the title Of every bill should
express the object of the bill. To
conform with the law the Loud
bill should be entitled, "a bill to
suppress the county weekly news.
paper in the interest of the great
city weeklies and the gold stand
ard"
That is what the bill is intended
for whether Mr.. Loud so intended
it or not.
The gentlemen alluded to above
who repre- sent the opposition, seem
to be ordinary lobbyists who think
that wining and dining members
oHCongreJs Is the way to win votes
They are mistaken and are doing
no good. Every country news
paper should send letter 10 the
Representative (no matter what
his politics) from the District and

Every bond and obligation of the
United States, except the silver and
gold certificates, declares in the
body of the contract tnat they are
payable in coin. When these obi

first issued, the coin of the United
States, Of the civilized world, with
the exception Of Great Britain, was
gold and silver at ratio of sixteen
or fifteen and half of silver to one
of gold.
A CO..! certed movement was made
by the money lenders TO destroy
one-half the money of the world,
and they did not care which they
destroyed, whether IL was the gold

A Fine Day, Large Crowd
and a Good Time.

The glorious day of independence
was duly celebrated again Monday
| in every hamlet in the land in some
way or other, and the patriotic peo-
pie gave vent to their feelings OF ma
tional pride, mingling together IN
the cities, by the sea shore and upon
the prairies-no difference where, or
how, it was all the same-one grand
sentiment OF freedom with the God
dess of Liberty enlightening the
| world. This was greatly heightened
by the fact that the nation is again
at war to free an oppressed people.
And when the news flashed over the
wires that SIMPSONS feet had de-
stroyed the entire Spanish fleet at
Santiago, the feeling can be better
| imagined than described. These are
the conditions that prevailed in Mil
Ter and it is safe to say they were but
reflex OF those in every other local
ity.
The day was a beauty, cool enough
for comfort. and warm enough for
ice cream and red lemonade. The
patriotic men and boys. the patient,
Woodworking mothers, the handsome
girls of Hand County came to Miller
to celebrate. That they enjoyed them
selves was evident from the cheer
and happy greeting on every side.
The town was gaily decorated with
American and Cuban flags, when the
morning guns sent forth their greet
ing. The marshal band started
those old familiar tunes which causes
ones blood to start at a 20 knot
clip, and tae coraet band carried the
breastworks with rush.
At IL o'clock the elegantly deco
rated opera house was crowded with
people who enjoyed the patriotic
singing of Miller eyer-popular choir.
One patriotic selection being "The
Flag of Freedom" composed by j.
w. Morse, OF Pierre. Judge 2usey
cleverly introduced the speaker, Hoa.
Thos. Sterling, of Redfield, who de-
livered fine scholarly and eloquent
address.
The afternoon was given upto the
usual sports, which resulted as fol-
lows:
Troting race, won by Horace Nor
rows Nelson. Quarter mile running
race won by Cranston horse, VIM
Munger's second and pressing the
winner hard for first. Quarter mile
pony race won by Art Palmep's feet
looted mare. The handicap foot
race was wonby Morgan, Eliza Whor-
ton second. Albert Hanson, the
scratch man, was unfortunately pre-
vented from breaking through to
the lead by the crowd closing in.
For boys under 16 Fred Johnson
won, S. Young I'd, NJ. Simons 3D..
Boys under II. A. Evans 1st. B. Nc.
Cullen 2nd, Earl Miller 3D., Charley
Spain 4th.
Special 100 yd. foot race won by
Albert Hansen.
Erwin Tamblyan won the bike race,
with Bosley I'd.
The base ball game, north Hand vs..
South Hand was won by the former,
| 10 to in a five inning game.
! Fireworks on the lake and a ball at
the opera house completed the even
ing's amusements, and the people
went home happy, glad to be called
citizens of free America and proud
of their nations position before the
civilized world.
