Gen. Black Is q Patriot

Gen. Black, commissioner of pen.
sions during Cleveland's first term, q
lifelong democrat and a man the
country has faith in, is opposing
Bryan's foolise anti-expansion talk.
This is what he said the other day at
Hutchinson, Kansas:
There is no human society where the
minority must not submit to the major
ity. He referred to expansion AS an
historical programme in human affairs,
calling attention to the various growths
made by the Americans and stating
that the democratic administration had
never failed to annex territory without
the consent of the governed. In the
adoption of its platform at Kansas
City, the acts of long line of illus
trious democratic statesmen we're re-
pudiated. They sought to tear from
history the bravest deeds of its soldiers
and to cloud the record of the ablest
statesmen of the democratic party.
General Black said as soldier he
could not forget the long train of events
that followed the blowing up of the
Maine; that these events were inter
woven inseparably with the purpose
declared by q unanimous act of con-
gress in its declaration of war against
Spain. The attack upon Manila, the
battle Of Cavite, of Santiago, of Agui-
naldo's assault upon American soldiers
in defiance of all treaty rights, are all
mighty links in the mighty chain OF
events in the struggle for human
liberty and human life.

What Thurman Said.

Allen G. Thurman was considered as
great democratic statesman as his
generation produced. At the COM
mencement of the Mexican war some
people opposed it so strongly rs almost
to give laid and comfort to the enemy"
Speaking on this subject Mr.. Thurman
became patriotic. What he said we
commend to the notice of some here
now who are practically aiding
Aguinaldo. Here it is:
SO war is upon us. The blood of our
citizens has been shed. Our soldiers
have been killed or captured by MeIi-
can troops. Our army is assailed by u
superior force. All that men brave
and patriotic can do, will be done.
Regular troops must also be enlisted.
The energies of our nation must be put
forth that the war may be brief, de-
cisive and glorious; that the peace
which follows may be honorable, ad-
vantageous and permanent. Different
opinions may be entertained rs to
what has produced this war. In the
judgment of some, our own govern
ment may be to blame. But this is not
the time to be finding fault with it. 1t
is not in q crisis like this that such o
judgment should be pronounced. 1t is
not in the very beginning of a contest
with an enemy that we should lessen
our own moral force. It is no time now
to tell the world that we are the ag-
gressors. Success in war depends not
on arms alone, in this age of the world.
We have our enemies and powerful
enemies, too, besides the Mexicans--
enemies who will gladly seize on every
thing that seems to put us in the wrong.
We must not furnish them with argu-
ments against us, arguments which
would derive their chef rate from
being first uttered by us. Above all,
We must not dishearten our own peo-
pie, and exalt the spirits of our own
foes. We must encourage, not dis
courge, enlistments. We must in
crease, not depress the ardor of our
countrymen. Did we even know with
certainty that our government is to
blame, this would yet be our duty.
How much more strongly is il our
duty when we cannot say that our
government is in the wrong.

Eckels says lie Can.

James Fl. Eckels, ex-comptroller OF
the currency, dem ocrat, tells why he
will not support Bryan
IF elected president the public must
be prepared to see Mr.. Bryan as chief
executive and those associated with
him as cabinet counselors, construe
every law bearing upon the currency
and the powers of the treasury depart
ment, in such manner as to nullify,
as best he can, its provisions in so far
as they bear upon the maintenance OF
the gold standard.
1.-THE experiment is too dangerous a
one to be entered upon by any one on
the grounds that the gold standard is
so fixed in law that it cannot be dis
turbed, no matter who may be presi-
dent or secretary Of the treasury.
1T is not perfect law, but can be
made so by its friends. 1t can be made
abortive by its enemies, once firmly
intrenched in power"

Two republican meetings were in
tertered With and personal violance
done at them last week. One was the
Rooseveldt meeting at Victor, Colo
RADIO, where the Bryan partisans made a
personal attack on Gov. Roosevelt,
and the other was at Davenport, this
state, where the Bryan supporters at
tended republican meeting in large
numbers, hooted down the speakers
and threw missels at them. And this
is the party that is making claims that
it Is the only party with whom the lib
critics of the people and the institutions
OF the republic are safe. 1t is very evi.
dent to which of the two great parties
the anarchy of this country attaches
itself.

Democrats Making Extra Efforts.

The democratic candidates and COM
mittee are making extra efforts this
fall to carry the county, or at least to
elect portion of their county ticket.
The county chairman has sent circu-
lar letter to one man in each school
district in the county requesting him to
make list of the voters, marking their
politics if known, and marking the
doubtful ones, and those who were
democrats in go and republicans now,
and those who were republicans in '96
and democrats now. They are re-
quested to return the poll inside of q
week and also to send with it $500
which they are requested to raise each
in his district. This is to help increase
their campaign fund. The chairman
goes on to relate how they are con-
fronted with the dangers of imperial
ism and militarism, but doesn't say one
word about free silver.
We would caution those who have
received these letters that it might be
we'll to not be too liberal with the 81. 90
remittances or the democratic chair
man may need clerk to help him
receive money for a while, for he fails to
say to how many in each school district
he has mailed this 81. GO request. There
are over one hundred school districts in
this county.
More schemes for raising money for
alleged campaign purposes are being
resorted to by the democrats of Iowa
than for years. The counties of the
state have been worked, and our county
has not been neglected, to get subscrip-
tions from the democratic voters, the
ostensible object being to carry on
their campaign. Walt Butler, the
CRATER, was here working his scheme.
These fellows who did the soliciting
were supposed to get a good per cent
for their share. Thus they intend to
save our "institooshuns" and preserve
our liberties.
All of which leads us to remark that
the good and true republican workers
of this county must be alive to the
situation and not allow democracy to
steal march on them. Last year you
elected the entire republican ticket and
this year their is no reason why you
should not repeat the act. You also
have your duty to do in helping to keep
these good times. We want no more
democratic experiments of free trade
or free silver. Let good enough alone.

More Recruits for Mckinley

Pinckneyville, ILL.,, Sept. 27.-Wil-
liam X. Murphy, of this city, ex-sens-
tor, collector of revenue under Cleve-
land, candidate for congress and for
years democratic leader of worth and
great weight, has announced himself
for Mckinley, Yates and the entire
republican ticket from top to bottom
Mr.. Murphy is very wealthy
banker of this city, and one of the
finest financiers in southern Illinois.
His partner, Judge George w. Wall, of
Duquoin, former Appellate Court Judge,
banker, wealthy and lifelong demo
crat of strength, with his two sons,
have joined the Mckinley ranks. Har.
mon, Edward and Charles Hincke,
three of the wealthiest and most in,
fiuential German merchants of Perry
county, who reside in this city, have
also announced for Mckinley.
The above in the daily Register dis
patches is indicative of the drift Of
sentiment in Illinois. The parties
mentioned above are we'll known by
the Fullertons and others of this
county. Organism isn't fourishine
there it seems.

Met q Buzz Saw.

Frank Miller, of Indianola, was in
the city Monday ON his way from Chi,
cago where he had gone on business.
He told good story while he was here.
II got on the train at Chicago last
evening"" he said, land sat down in the
sleeper, waiting for the train to start.

friend of mine who sat in the seat
with me and who was republican. ]
hatter myself that had torn his argu-
ments into about seventy-threed different
kinds of tatters and was pursuing the
usual course in political discussion, |
suppose, and was talking loud and
long.
"Pretty soon great big, smooth
faced man who was sitting across the
aisle jumped to his feet and came over
to me. He stood up in front of me and
gave republican speech that simply
tore me all to pieces. never was 80
ripped up in my life. The fellow
positively amazed me, and when he
finished with me felt small enough to
crawl out Of steam pipe. When he
had finished me he turned on his heel
and left the car"
" Say conductor i gasped as that
functionary passed by, who was that,
anyway
Bob Cousins he said.
81 am prepared to testify on oath
that Cousins is as great an orator as he
is cracked up to be" added Miller in q
tone of admiration for the gallant and
brainy congressman. And his friends
here rather suspect that he may vote
for Mckinley.

School Boy Editor

1t seems the editor of the Advocate
has secured from Bryan's own town a
young man to come here and do the
heavy writing on that paper during the
campaign. Whether the editor of that
paper felt unequal to the task of the
writing necessary to be done in a
national campaign, or whether he did
not care to shoulder the opprobrium of
defending the democratic positions of
this year, or just what his excuse is for
importing this scion of Organism into
Audubon county we cannot say. SO
long as R. G. Spencer Il Co. is at the
head of the editorial column the public
will charge against those parties what
ever appears in the columns. Yet so
long as the articles with the plain ear
marks of the school boy from Lincoln
appear, and so long a. that young man
declares on the street that he is edit
ing tina paper, the public will perhaps

responsibility.
Last week this young man gives the
editor of this paper column or more
in his light and half humorous style.
We have not space or time to reply.
He confesses to being school boy and
assumes we find fault with him for
going to school. No, sonny, what we
object to is your leaving school. Edu-
cation is good thing if you get enough
of it to know that you don't know
much. A limited amount is dangerous.
1t mixes and befuddles one. 1t some
times causes one to parade his know
ledge. 1t might even cause one to
open the report of democratic con-
vention by long treatise on civil
government.
