April has always been the lucky
month Of months for American soldiers.
In the Revolutionary war the Ameri-
can army won victories in the month OF
April that assured the country OF its
ultimate independence and freedom
from British tyranny.
In the Civil war the Confederate
armies surrendered in April and the
soldiers returned to their homes to
build up their ruined fortunes.
Now, in this April Of 1899, the Span
ish war ends and proclamation of
peace is published to the world. Surely
II there be any "April Pooling" in war

lean soldiers play it on the other fel-

Democracy, Peoples Hope.

Champ Clark, the most popular
speaker in Missouri, at the Bimetallic-
Union at Hannibal, the other day,
spoke in part as follows:
al once heard man preach who
knew more about theology than about
grammar. After reading passage of
the Scriptures, be shut up the Bible
and said: Brethren and sisters, the
whole gospel is all squz up in that one
little text So it may be truthfully
rtated that nearly the entire theory OF
Democracy as to the financial conduct
of the government may be squz up into
the short, terse phrase: More money
and less taxes
1--WE are for the free, unlimited coin
age of silver, as declared for the Chi
cago platform, chiefly because there is
not money enough; and we are for cut
ting down the taxes because more
money is taken from the people in that
way than is necessary for the ecouom-
ical administration of public affairs
which is the limit of taxation always
fixed by Democratic statesmen.
Economy in the public expense,
that labor may be lightly burdened, is
certain to be an issue 10 1900; for econ
omy in expenditures lies at the root of
all lasting and widespread prosperity.
There may be what the doctors
would class as sporadic cases of pros
perity in this country now.
81 have no doubt that the small CO.
terie of distinguished statesmen who
recently had their rendezvous on Jekyl
Island--otherwise known as the recre-
alton ground Of the multi-millionaires
are prosperous; but that any general
and abundant measures of prosperity
have come to the great body of the
people is proposition that cannot be
maintained by any evidence at hand"
