Portland Observer: There seems to
to be no opposition to the nomination
OF Hon. William Oliver Webster OF
Ionia for judge OF probate at the coun-
ty convention to be held at Ionia Sep
TENDER 9TH. Mr.. Webster would
make strong candidate. He is one of
the best lawyers at the county seat and
has made special study of probate
law; he is an old resident OF the coun-
ty; he is a courteous and, honorable
gentleman and resides with his family
at the county seat. No estate nor the
interest OF widow or orphan would suf-
fer at his hands. Mr.. Webster would
honor the people in this position and
the people would honor themselves by
putting him there.

The Harem "A Prison.

The western boast that every mans
house is his castle is as nothing to the
sanctity of the eastern harem. No Of
ficer of the law may enter harem, and
therefore there is no safeguard for the
life and liberty of its inhabitants. One
day they may be slaves, the next prin-
cesses and the next strangled or poison
ed. An Ill disposed man could carry
off an enemy to his harem and kill him,
and none would be the wiser.

There is In Cowley county a big two
listed farmer who has the reputation
Of being the biggest liar in the town
ship. But he Will fight at the drop of

cusing him. The other day he went
into Dexter and told that he had a
9-month- old calf that gave three quarts
at a milking, and. after recountlng this
story. the local paper said, "Mr. Hor-
rell is still in town, and we are con-
WINGED that that calf is wonder."-

Dated Aug. %,

There is a marked difference be-
tween the Republican and Democratic
candidates for the Presidency in their
ability to remain faithful to important
issues through evil report and good re-
ports. Mckinley is recognized as the
apostle of protection. He believes in
1t, worked for it, voted for it, and Sc
cured the passage OF the protective
tariff measure known as the Mckinley
bill. When the free trade party tri-
umphed and House and Senate were
elected pledged To repeal the McKin
ley bill, its author never wavered. he
continued to teach protection and
warned the people that the expert
ment on which they were about TO en-
ter would proved disastrous. Results
proved the wisdom of his position
The people came TO think as he
thought and his record In both victory
and defeat has been consistent. While
Mckinley advocated protection, Bryan
defended free trade, but when free
trade was repudlated Bryan dropped
it, He consulted with expediency and
bound himself to the silver worshipers,
allowing free trade to shift for itself.
Then in turn silver was dropped, and
after this year Imperialism will sleep
beside free trade and free silver and
some other popular cry will be adopted

STARK COUNTY DEMOCRAT. FRIDAY JANUARY 49, 1900

sense of right and justice. No trial, no
suffering, that has ever yet befallen
our people was hard enough, or severe
enough to weigh them down. From
every struggle, from every contest,
they have come with faces beaming
with the joy of success and with
bodies and minds made stronger for
the conflicts of the future.
While 1 believe that great wrong is
inflicted by the fastening upon this
country of the single gold standard; ;
while believe that great injustice Is
being done and immeasurable suffer-
ing caused by our being cast on the
turbulent sea of Imperialism; while i
believe the rights of the toiling and
producing masses have been invaded
by the formation and the upholding of
the trusts, 1 do not believe that even
all this can weigh down our people or
stop their onward march to a higher
and better plain of citizenship and
christian fellowship.
Strengthened by the contests and
strains Of the past, spurred on to deeper
thought and more determined action by
the prevailing sense of the many in
justices of the hour, they will sooner or
later, from being inspired with the
spirit of Jacksonian Democracy, retrieve
themselves of their losses and strike
down the hand of wrong and oppression.
My faith in the vigilance of our
people, my confidence in their inte-
gritty and sense of Justice leads me to
hope; aye, makes me to believe, that
the present is not indicative of the
future, and that the end will be a
crowning victory to liberty, civilization,
and Republican form of government
that all the powers that now prevail
against us, that all the wrongs and
expressions that now befall us, will but
cause us the better to prepare for, and
the sooner to attain, that highest end
to be attained in civil government, a
government of the people, for the people,
and by the people, and a government
which derives it's powers in fact only
and wholly from the consent of the
governed.

f. H. Held, ESQ.,, of Grand Rapids,

eleven able physicians who frequently
saw me pronounced my case hopeless"

The funeral services over the remains
of Clara Millaman, who died on Mon

from the Union church, on Wednesday
afternoon. A beautiful and very ap-
propriate sermon by her pastor, Rev.
Price, of the Disciple church, was
preached from the words God will wipe
away all Tears" The funeral was
largely attended. The floral tributes
were many and beautiful.
Miss Matilda Smith died at her home,
south of town, on Tuesday evening,
of heart disease. The funeral services
will be held from the Reformed church
conducted by her pastor, Rev. I. u.
Kunkle, on Friday morning. The de-
ceased was 65 years of age.
The talk of Incorporating the town
is the latest and steps have been taken
in that direction. Keep your eyes Open
1t is better perhaps-for the majority
to bear to the ills we have than flee
to others we know not of.
