Civilization and Barbarlsm.

In the campaign of 1896 our Repub-
lican friends never tired of expatiating
upon the blessings of civilization. We
were informed that the gold standard
was an unfailing evidence of a high
state of civilization wherever it was
found. We were pointed to England,
Germany, Austria, and other nations,
foremost in the procession of civiliza-
ton. We recognized the fact that we
were not well up on the symptoms of
civilization. We were not quite sure
we could distinguish civilization from
barbarism should we have met them
both together upon the public high
way.
After two years of study we think
we can safely say our stock of knowl-
edge upon this subject has been vastly
increased. We begin to have con-
ceptiou of the term that we never had
before. We begin to comprehend
some of the blessings the civilized ma
tions of the earth now enjoy under the
gold standard. In Austria, a gold
standard country, fully civilized, riots
broke out all over the greater part of
her territory in the beginning of the
present year. because the peasantry
were so miserably poor. This poverty

To the Voters OF Iron County.

While returning from Ironton. last
Monday, met Mr.. VIM. H. Buford,
who was working like beaver in the
interest of his candidacy for Presiding
Justice OF our County Court. | hope
he will be able to secure the nominal
tion at the Primary election on the
18th inst, because believe he is emf
nently wellftted for the proper per-
Torrance of the duties OF the Office he
seeks. Some have limited that he is
somewhat on the trough and ready"
order; that is no valid objection to
him, for, in the first place, he came by
that trait of character honestly, as any
one who remembers old Uncle Pate
Buford, his father, well knows. In
the second place, all who are close OBJ
servers of human nature know that,
usually, the trait or disposition com
monty dubbed trough and ready" is
accompanied by rugged honesty and
he grit and independence that are the
chief requisites of an officer who is ex-
pected to actually do, in all respects.
what is for the best interests of the
whole county. l have long known
Uncle Billy" Buford by reputation,
and have never heard of anything that
would indicate that he does not possess
all the above named desirable traits of
character; in short, am sure that he
is in every way worthy of our conf
dence and esteem. II elected, l am
confident he will fill the Office to the
entire satisfaction of all the reasonable
and intelligent taxpayers of Iron
county; consequently, with honor to
himself and with great credit to the
Buford family which has already fur
nlshed US two of the most efficient and
courteous-and, therefore, deservedly
popular-of1icers of Iron county
Messrs. James and Simeon f. Buford.
Thus believing. earnestly hope that
at least two-thirds Of the voters of this
county will support Mr.. W. H. Buford
at the Primary election. Respectfully
submitted. L. ERBsCHLOE.

IRON COUNTY INSTITUTE.
To the Teachers.

Tho Iron County Teachers Institute
will be held this year at Belleview,
beginning
Monday, June 10, 1898,
and continuing three weeks.
This will give the teachers time to
do some profitable work before the
final examination. The new and diff
ficult features of the late text books
will be discussed and some of the best
methods presented. The fact that a
new set of school books is to be taken
up the ensuing year makes it the more
important that every teacher attends
some Institute.
Every means will be used to make
the Institute both pleasant and profit
able; and it is hoped that there will be
enough licensed teachers at its close to
teach the schools of the county, thus
making special examinations and en-
dorsements from other counties I'M
necessary.
trust a goodly number of teachers
who hold certificates still in force will
show their professional zeal by attend
ing the Institute this year. A teacher
never gets so high educationally that
discussions, reviews, and enthusiasm
acquired by coming in contact with
others engaged in the same work, do
not make him a better instructor. The
irksome task of doing written work"
will be confined, as nearly as possible,
to the three days examination at close
of Institute. The work will be mainly
oral, and each teacher will have a
chance tie get some of the best ideas of
every other teacher in the Institute.
The hospitable people of Belleview
are sure to make it pleasant for every
teacher who attends.

THE New York Evening Post is one
of the sheets so sOlicitous for 1.-The
national honor in 1896, that it would
have commended the hanging or be-
heading of every Bryanistic Anarchist
in the country. 1t daily shed tears of
shame and humiliation while mourn
fully bewailing the degeneracy and
dishonesty of the 100000 Americans
who traitorously supported the Chica-
go platform. We are therefore horri-
fed to see i'll its co-yellow laborer in
the auriferous vineyard, the New York
San, the most disgraceful dIatribes
against journal so loyal to Lombard
and Wall Streets and the higher civil
ization that follows in their wake.
We reproduce a specimen:
The Government censorship of des-
patches to newspapers from the seats
of military and naval operations in or
der to prevent the divulging of plans
under way has met with applause for
its righteousness rather than complaint
because of it's severity from all reputa-
BILE journals. There remains, however,
a measure of journalistic repression
which is no less necessity. No CEN
sorship restraints the usually laudable
enterprise of patriotic newspapers, I'M
der the dictation of the national inter-
est in time of war; but there are few
seditious journals which are seeking to
stir up mutiny among the troops, and
in all ways to hamper the military ad
ministration, displaying a spirit which
could not be more hostile to American
arms if their editors were actually
traitors subsidized by the enemy
against whom we are fighting The
worst. the most malicious of these is
the EUening Post of this city. The
necessity which justifies censorship at
Tampa and Key West reqires not less
imperatively that that paper should
be compelled to desist from it's treach-
cry under the penalty of sharp and i'm
mediate punishment.

no doubt will have sharpening effect
upon their wits and increase their
brain power many hundred per cent,
if they don't all die before its full edu-
cational effect can be realized.
In Italy bread riots have broken out
in almost every province since the
first of April, which may be regarded
as testimony of high character to the
civilizing and refining influences of the
single gold standard which we SO much
need to make US completely happy.
The blessings conferred upon the
working classes of Spain by the gold
standard are almost as great as those
which have inundated Italy and Aus
tria. If dispatches from Madrid are to
be believed, the Spanish peasant and
artizan is vastly more anxious for
bread than he is for blood.
England, by the blessing of God and
and her gold standard, has reached
the acme OF civilization and refinement.
She has no peasantry to speak of.
They have disappeared from her soil
to be hived up in cities or to wander
in foreign lands.
Germany's rural population has be-
gun to disappear at the rate of one
per cent. year, and there are fewer
people in France now than there were
twenty years ago.
Thus the nations of the Old World
are being refined and sublimated by
having their coarse and brutal pro-
ducing populations expatriated, ex-
terminated, or converted into good,
Christian, civilized barnacIes, whose
sole aim in life is to reap where they
have not sown. and to devour the sub
stance of the sons of toll without let
or hindrance.
When we turn to this side of the At
lantic we find European civilization
taking root in the most satisfactory
manner. Its effects are bit conceal
ed by the present war, but it is hoped
that when it is over we will not be
distanced in the race by our European
competitors.
The one eyesore on this continent
is barbarous Mexico There is not
tramp in all that country, as we I'M
derstand the term. Not one of her
poems has been subjected to the rein
ing and civilizing influences of hunger.
She persists in keeping her minis open
to the coinage of silver, and in using
silver as her money of final account.
She continues to reduce her public
debt in the most uncivilized manner.
She has a vulgar abundance of all the
necessaries of life, and her citizens,
stepped in swinish contest, refuse to
go beyond her borders. She has not
been subjected to the refining infu-
ences of bread riot in the last decade
or so, if such an event ever occurred
in her history. She has been blessed
with strikes and lockouts only to an
insignificant extent. 1t is only land
of gross plenty, where the silver dollar
persists in buying as much as it ever
did, and where the balance of trade
persists in keeping in her favor until
it is becoming a trifie monotonous
The sooner Mexico is abolished the
sooner great stride will have been
made in the higher civilization on this
side of the Atlantic. The most ad-
vanced civilization. with the gold
standard which fosters it, are wholly
incompatible with silver contentment
and plenty to eat.

suffering. In June, 1894, Mr.. Evens,

BRO. FLYNN of the Southeast Gazette,
whether in philosophy, politics, or re-
ligion, is always entertaining. Hear
him:
Last Saturday the leading Republi-
cans foxes of Cape Girardeau county,
attended by a considerable number of
their followers, met at jackson to re-
organize the political ring with which
they intend to rule this county for the
next two, or four years. They spent
the entire day there, till late in the
evening, conspiring, connecting, de-
vising and scheming how to prevent Il
repetition of the disaster which befell
them two years ago. Republican foxes
whose tails had been chopped IN that
memorable contest mingled timidly
with the veteran Reynards whose
brushes are still intact. They claimed
that their caudal appendages were en-
tirely healed. that they had commence
ed to sprout again nicely and that
really stub-tailed fox is much pref
tier animal and could make swifter
race than a fox whose tail could be
grabbed and twisted at every turn by
some fox-hunting Democratic editor or
politician. To this the long-tailed
foxes replied that fox without tail
was no good for catching official chick
ems; he couldn't jump high enough to
raid a county hen-roost; he couldn't
steer himself against a hard campaign
wind and it was more than doubtful
whether he could manage to keep the
flies off himself. The matter was final
ly compromised by Ben Adams under
taking to graft new tails on stump
tailed candidates at so much a graft
and several of them were allowed on
the ticket. The line was drawn, how
ever, on the congressional fox, whose
tail had been clipped so close that Ben
declared there was no stump to graft
on.
