Mexico.

Gold monometallists frequently point
to Mexico as frightful example of
what free silver will do for country.
A few facts about Mexico may not be
out of place. The 18th Vol. of John
Clark Ridpath's Library of Universal
History, just fresh from the press, con-
tains the following:
Mexico having decided to make her
national development from within and
to follow lines of strict independence
in her economic and political career,
avoiding all complications with foreign
powers, found herself in the closing
years of the century in better condi-
tion as to peace and prosperity than did
ANY OTHER NATION OF THE EARTH.
Not another state of the New World or
the Old, all of which were attempting
to increase the internal enlargement
and each concerning itself with the
others business more than its own,-
was equally peaceable within or equally
fattered with the hope of perpet,,ity.
More particularly should it be said Of
Mexico that the end of the century
found her more advanced, more pros
porous, more comfortable in the essen.
tials of civilized life, than was ANY
OTHER STATE OR KINGDOM CONTROL
LED BY THE LATIN RACES.

Death of VIM. a. Flynn.

Another pioneer citizen of Delaware
county passed away by the death of
William II. Flynn, of Earlville, which
occurred at Mercy Hospital, Dubuque,
on Friday morning of last week.
The deceased was born in 1910, near
Freeport, Illinois, and accompanied his
parents to Iowa in 1916, settling on a
farm in Colony township. He resided
there with the exception of three years,
when he was prospecting in Colorado,
until 1893, when he removed to Earl
vile. The following year he was COM
mlssioned postmaster of that place by
President Cleveland and served three
years and nine months, when his resig-
nation was made imperative by his fail
ing health. Since then he has been
gradually failing and seven weeks ago
went to Mercy hospital In order to get
better medical attendance.
William H. Flynn was man of ster-
ling ability and integrity and was held
in the highesJ esteem by his friends and
associates. He took an active interest
in current events and public affairs and
was the democratic candidate for county
treasurer in 1879 and county auditor in
1883. He was in warp and wool the
truest of men, and those who knew him
best loved him best. His devotion to
the Catholic faith of his ancestors was
stripped of every sectarian feeling of
intolerance; it was genuinely universal
and it had the effect of softening and
mellowing his whole nature, and en-
riching his manners and address with
stability and repose.
The remains were brought to Earl
vile and the funeral services were held
at the Catholic church at that place last
Monday. Interment was made in the
Catholic cemetery at Colesburg. He
was never married and is survived by
-twobrothers, j. R. Flynn, of Dubuque,
George Flynn, of Colony township, and
neice, Mrs. Lucy Lukenbill, of Earl
vile, with whom the deceased resided in
his latter years.

Ottumwa, Ia. March 19.-County At

shot in the head and seriously
wounded Friday night. Mrs. George
Pyle was arrested later and confessed
that she did the shooting, which she

Mrs. Pyle was recently divorced from

She says that both Barger and her di-

the shooting occurred, and that she in

The Supreme court of the United

Marshall to the present time, has uni
formly declared that the constitution of
the country is co.e1tensive with our
political jurisdiction. This was every

even by republicans, until q few weeks
ago, when Mark Hanna concluded that
it collided with the interests of some
of the trusts. Marks dictum with re-
