"MUCH VIRTUE IN IT,"

If the corrupt use of money can COM
pass the defeat of silver resolutions in
both conventions, said the Tribune in
the spring of 1896, the two great ma
tional parties will again try to straddle
the issue.
If either party declares unequivocal-
ly for free coinage it is the duty of
every silver man to give it his aid and
encouragement until the good fight is
over and victory is won, said our
neighbor.
If the delegates 10 the Chicago con-
vention can be bought as they were
bought at st. Louis. we warn our DEM
ocratic friends, said the Tribune, that
every silver plank proposed for the
platform will be rejected; for I'VE know
something of the mower of newspapers
and the corrupt use Of money
If Bryan is defeated, said the organ
after the conventions were held, it viii
be because American manhood has
been debauchei, because the ballot box
has been defiled. because lahnring men
have been driven to the polls like
slaves, and newspapers which should be
independent have been subsidized.
If Mckinley is elected and he does
nothing for silver his administration
will be voted a fiat failure inside of
three years, and our contemporary
asked exchanges TO paste tins rredic-
ton upon their Office walls.
If nothing comes of the Walcott COM
mission and the president goes no
further in the direction &C establishing
bimetallism in this country, there is
but one thing left for self-respecting
silver men in the Republican party to
do, said the Tribune.

ed, it continues, with the original

There is one young man on the st
side who has had something to remark
about the hot weather every time he puts
his hand in his pockets in hopeless
search for coin. His firm pays its en-
ployees by means of checks. On his last
payday the young man in question left
his vest at home because of the heat,
wearing the negligee shirt with a pocket
Into this shirt pocket ne thoughtlessly
thrust his check and in the change next
morning sent the aforementioned shirt off
to the laundry with the check still there.
Not until that night did he realize what
had happened. Then he almost tainted

terestedly.
We'll, go down after it; quick. Was is

Farmer Woolbright of Galloway's
mill in Kentucky, suspected of being
chicken thief, was ordered to leave
the neighborhood some time ago. He
fingered until a mob seized him ari
gave him a lashing with hickory
switches. Woolbright is white man,
but if he will take courage from the
stand made by a negro in an adjoin-
ing country he will sue for DAMAGES.
In spite of all this idiotic talk about
negroes being unable to get justice in
a southern state he not only killed one
member of the mob but recovered SsG.-
900 in damages from the others.

FALLING INTO LINE.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Sandy Storm Starter believes the siI-
yer cause has gone to pieces. In an
editorial published in its latest issue
the Storm Starter abandons the cause
of the white metal and expresses its
views as follows:
"a great light has dawned upon us.
Silver is dead. We had a letter from
our friend Mark Hanna (enclosing a
check only the other day and he told
us so. Mark said he went TO a cabinet
meeting and offered to have the corpse
embalmed but Russ Alger SHE'D so at
the mention of that word that he con-
cluded not to press his suggestion.
Mark thinks that If any help is to
be had for silver it must come from
Europe or Asia. We are not sure
whether we like Asiatic methods or
not but if Mark says the word it goes.
Almost any day now we may look for
an appeal from the Rothschild boys FOR
the country to inaugurate the free and
unlimited coinage of gold bonds at
some ratio that will suit them and
were with 'em- Mark says we ought
to be and that settles it.
while we are waiting for them TO
shout, the Storm Starter will proceed
to stultify its record of the past steenty
teen years and whoop it up against
silver or anything else that Mark tells
Us to tackle. The unspeakable crowd
of emigrants that is now accusing US
of going back on ourselves can talk as
much as they please but as long. as
Mark and Pat and Mike De Young and
Abner Mckinley are behind US we
don't care what this free silver scum
OF the earth says or does. Our subscrip-
ton. list may suffer but our bank ac-
count is all right.
'It is true we emigrated over here
from Nevada ourselves but that's an
other matter. There are going to be
some offices to distribute out here be-
fore very long and as sure as our name
is Bill Kickamuss We expect to be IN
on it. Mark won't let US get left when
the lineup for the pie-counter is
called.
Hes a sly old dog, that Marcus. He
knew what he was about when he got
Nc to fix things so the boys cculd
divvy up on ten or 'leven thousand
more jobs under the government.
That's civil service reform of my kind
No backward step about that, as Nc
says
mo, there's no use talking, silver IS
dead As we remarked before, it is
dead for the very lucid reasons we
have given. And by the way, if there
is anything else running around loose
that Mark says is dead or ought TO he
dead, we'll fix up the prettiest corpse
he ever Toasted his eyes upon. It'll |
be deader than Ayers old army beef. |
We shall have more to say upon this |
subject-silver, not beef, anon"
Evidently the word has gone forth. |
But it is cruel CT the Sandy paper 10 |
steal the thunder of its Salt Lake |

course viii be indisputaple. The cues
tons are, then, what are the Marianne
Islands, and OF what value would they
be to us?"
And this has bean the policy Of the
administration ever since, although the
board of strategy was kept so Dusily
engaged in fighting the phantom. fleets
of Spain that no vessels could be SPAR
ed for the conquest OF the t.arolines and
the Mariannes until the protocol put
an end to all speculation in their direc-
ton.

GRIP OF LEG ONLY NEEDED.

The physician is on the surgeons
trail. He has found a cure for ap-
pendieitis without the use of knife,
poultice, ice pack or heroic method.
Cases are cured in eight minutes by
the watch. 1t is done by simple
twist of the wrist and wrench of the
leg which causes the psoas magnus, the
largest muscle in the human body, on
some people, to empty the appendix.
And that is all there is to it, say lts
advocates.
No matter how it is done so it is
done. But we suspected the treatment
would be incomplete, no matter bow
simple, without pulling the patients
leg.

The ex-silver, ex-non-partisan organ
continues to libel all silver men who
refuse to follow it back TO the goldbug
camp, and all non-partisans it can
not use in its business. 1t accuses the
superintendent of waterworks of en-
ploying ON the improvements he be-
gan only Mormons and such Mormons
as agree to vote the Democratic ticket.
AS a matter of fact, he employed nom
Mormon Republicans and mugwumps.
He inquired into no mans religious or
political belief. So the organ reveals
its own bent of mind while it merely
misrepresents Mr.. Game.

President McKinley's civil service or
der throwing 10000 federal offices open
to sDoilsmen is believed to have been
done in part for Quay, whose influence
in Pennsylvania has been waning ever
since the merit system took a large

By restoring those positions to the do
main of sDoils the ability of notorious
corruptionists like Quay to aid Hanna
in securing control of the government
for another four years is greatly en-
HANGED.
