Rev. q. ". Trivett Again.
Editor Democrat:
Very much dol regret hav-
ing to make another state.
inent for publication in refer.
ence to the association, in an
swer to an article published
IN your tissue ofthe 18th inst.
In the article | had publish
ed | said that two members
OF the church had invited me
home with them-the other
two were given ia such a way
that | did not consider them
invitations. As to the asser-
tiOn that A. e. Galway and
E. VI. GIagg invited me home
with them, / desire to state
in the most positive manner
that they did not. Bro. Grage
is also mistaken in saying
that he asked me to turn my
horse in the pasture a n d
have dinner. This statement
il entirely erroneous, as you
will see By the certificate OF
Rev. Jas. W. Trivett, who
was with me at the time:
AS to what was published
in reference to what Sheriff
Galway said, I will state
that he admitted to me that
he would never hesr any man
preach who voted for the A.
meadment, and never would
unless his mind changed. The
Sheriff also admitted to me
that Jerry Porch said that ]
ought to be assigned to Wv.
att Johnson's during the As
ISOLATION, but said jokingly,
and not at the time a n d
place stated. Now, Mr.. Edi-
tor, the Sheriff says he don't
remember saying that he had
no meat and bread for any
man who,voted forthe arend
ment. This ia a matter that
rests entirely between him
and Mr.. John Fox, who STA
ted that he did say SO, and
he. (Fox) said it in the pres
ence OF Rev. J. W. Trivett
C. E. Harman and David
Layell.
i Now, what / have said il
! the truth about this whole
matter, and the only thing
regret is not ha wing let t b
matter pass unnoticed, but
l did not do so, and it only
remains for me to defend my
character for truth when as.
sailed by any one, and l an
willing to 60 to the judgment
with what ] have said IN thi'
matter.

Of the fullest and richest in Martha's
hand.
oh' thank you," cried Martha, her
voice trembling with eager delight.
IN SO fond of flowers, ind don't get
any time to raise 'em."
She was still fondling the blossoms.
and lnhaling their rich perfume when
MI. Dewey came in, rubbing his hands
In high good humor.
Well, Martha, reckon we'd better
go up to town now,' he said, as he
folded a check which the miller had
given him. ''I've got some runnin'
around to do. but you can wait for me
some place.
Come over to my house first and get
lunch" urged the miller. Mrs.
Dewey looks too weary to sit around
the stores, and my wife would be de-
lighted to meet her, know
Mr.. Bonney had hearty, persuasive
way which was hard to resist, and few
moments later Martha was taking of
her bonnet in Mrs. Bonney's cosy sit
tlng-room, in response to a generous
welcome.
Mary Bonney was one of those sweet.
gracious women whose very presence
means peace and good will, and Martha
looked at her enyiously as she moved
about in her pretty home, giving an or
der here, Offering a suggestion there,
and all the time smiling a welcome to
the tired little figure in the big easy
chair, a luxurious change from the jolt
ing of the high-seated wagon.
1t was all so pretty, it rested her so to
look about her, and drink in the beauty
of the soft, rich carpet on the parlor
floor through the vista of the draped
archway, and the Gaintiness of the lace
curtains. An oil painting OF a scene in
the Alps fascinated her with its won
drors tints, and before she knew it she
had spoken aloud. IF had such par
lor to look into, /" then she stopped
in confusion.
you are admiring my Alpine seen

her eye. Il hung it there where could

for pretty things to rest my eyes on.
Maybe it's wicked, for I've got good

spoke warmly. Our Father would not
have filled the earth full of beauty, and
given us the taste to enjoy it if it had
been wrong"
Mr.. Dewey, obtuse as he was, OBJ
served the contrast between this home
and his own, and he was touched by his
wife's evident delight in her surround
ings. Her eyes were shining, and her
checks pink as she followed her host
ess to the tasteful dining-room, where

A HEAVY PRICE.
The Money Cost of the Ira9erialIstfc

kinIey Administration.

The statement of expenses incurred
in our military operations in the Phil
ippines for one year from May 1. 1895,
to November 1, 1899, sent into congress
by the war department, shows total
of SIS, 92S, GGO.34. The quartermaster's
department expended $25.715, 901.61;
the subsistence department, SIS, 100000;
the pay department, SIC, S33, 1890; the
ordnance department, S1,S6O,2 39.42,
and miscellaneous expenses were
50, 791.93. With the $2O,000,0OO paid
Spain FOB her quit claim deed added,
the tax payers have paid out for IL
months of empire building nearly S70,-
100000.
But all this money, in comparison
with the thousands of precious lives of
brave anG useful American men and
youths that have been sacrificed on the
affairs of insensate greed and blood
gorged imperialism-in comparison
with the homes made desolate by IA
theirs, brothers, sons, slaughtered to
make a pasturage for hungry place
hunters and a feeding ground for
graspine syndisates to fatten upon. is
a matter of trivial and inconsequenf
consideration.-Kan City Times.

the girls always enjoy u little Easter
finery, but we old fellows don't have
much show in that direction, do we?"
1--WE don't make much fuss about
Easter at our house" replied Mr..
Dewey, uneasily, as he remembered
that not only Easter, but Christmas
and birthdays passed by unheeded.
After all. life was barren routine at
the Dewey farmhouse, and he was be-
ginning to realize it.
We'll. Easter means so much to us,
Mr.. Bonney's ruddy face was touched
with q tender feeling. that we love to
celebrate it with all the brightness and
beauty possible. BY the way, Dewey.
we are going to have especially fine
services in church on Easter Sunday.
Come in and enjoy it with u.s."
Mrs. Dewey looked at her husband,
eagerly. There was always so much
to do at the farm on Sabbath morning,
when they were apt to sleep late, that
they had almost given up church going
entirely. 1t was another link out of
the chain which bound her girlhood
days to her present.
"Yes, do come" urged Mrs. Bonney,
seeing the look on Mrs. Dewey's face.
"The decorations will be lovely, and the
music especially fine"
Mr.. Dewey cast doubtful look at his
wife's best dress, doubly shabby in con-
trast with Mrs. Bonney's handsome
teagown, and he thought of his own
best suit, which had long seen its palm
lest days, as re said: well, I'll see;
mebbe, if the weather is good"
He walked along in silence beside his
wife as they went out of the hospitable
home. That check in his pocket seemed
burning to get out and spend itself on
the things which Martha not only
wanted. but needed to keep her life
fresh and young, her spirit sweet and
hopeful. He had intended to add it to
his already satisfactory bank account,
but as he looked down at his wife's face
his mind changed.

That Compact with England.

Ifanything more were needed TO prove
that there is a secret compact between
this administration and Great Britain
it would seem to have been furnished
by the act of Secretary John Hay in
sending the message he did to England
in regard to intervention in the South
African war. The wording of that offer
was such that it gave England the OPP
portunity she had been very anxious
for to answer in such terms that any
Intervention from any quarter is pre-
cluded. 1t would almost seem that the
message of Hay must have been writ
ten by Salisbury himself. A friend in
need is a friend indeed. The McKin-
ley administration has shown itself to
be that kind of a friend to England
right at the critical time when that
grasping empire was in the act of com
hitting the greatest crime of the ages
in crushing the twin republics of South
Africa. England reioices, of course,
while all the world looks on with sad

to the gold money trust bill" as it
calls it, predicts financial disaster:
1.-The gold standard is about to be
ushered in, and on the foundation it
will supply is to be reared a vast
superstructure of bank circulation
and credits which in time will topple
and produce the most disastrous
financial and industrial results ever
experienced. The banks are to have
the power to expand and contract the
currency at willard possession Of this
power will make them as potential to
control all industries as any trust is
to control a particular industry. The
money trust, the most colossal of all.
is on the eve of making its bow, ana
the country will be indebted to repub-
lican leadership for it's introduction"

EASTER MONDAY EGG-RoLLING
Thousands of Children Spend joy
GUS Day in the White House
Grounds.

Clifford Howard, in writing of the
annual Easter Monday egg-rolling in
the white house grounds at Washing
ton, gives fine glimpse of the sport in
the Ladies' Home Journal. 'The chief
points of attraction" he says, ''are the
mounds of hillccks that rise in gentle
slope from the lawn in various parts
of the grounds. Their sides are rich
ly carpeted with soft, thick grass, and
here it is that the little children roll
their eggs. They Chamber up the hill
side with their baskets, the little tots
crawling up Oh hands and knees, and
then turn and roll their eggs one by
one down the green slope. But the
children do not confine themselves to
rolling eggs. Many of them take more
pleasure in sitting about in groups and
picking eggs with one another. This is
done by striking two eggs together
on their points. The one whose egg is
broken in this encounter is the loser
and gives up his egg to the other.
This game is particularly enjoyed by

MaGaates Thrive on n Three Cent Ad.
vance in the Price OF
Coal Oil.

The truth of the Scotch proverb
''Mony a mickle makes a muckle," IS
amply illustrated in the fuctuating
price of coal oil. A few cents increase
in the price per gallon is not much,
only ''mickle," but in the aggregate
what 'nucklei"
The increase in the present price OF
oil over that of two years age is three
81 cents gallons mere hagatelle-
not even good for q car fare. Eut con-
slider the multiplication OF that measly
three cents!
The Standard Oil company produces
one billion seven hundred millions
G,70G,000) gallons of coal Gil per an
mum, and its sells $50, COO OF gallons in
the United States. Any sehoolboy can
multiply the ''micl1le," three cents, TO
find the ''mucllle.'' $25,500.o03. as the
add as much more to the foreign
sales we have the stupendoUs sum of
$51 100000 poured into the Golfers of
Mr.. Rockefeller by the poor people Of
the world in a single year. And it
should be remembered tina: this ssh
000,000 is only a part of the swag; for
the dividends of the Standard Oil COM
pany show that its profits are eXor-
bitant without this $51 ,000,00G,
The company has just declared a
quarterly dividend of 25 per cent. on
its 500, 900, 600 capital, which is at the
rate of 100000, 900 per annum. Is it not

the country, and care not who makes
the laws"
SIN the meantime" says the New
York Journal, 1.-The worlds great army
of workingmen-the ground moles who
dig coal, the hard-handed toilers in
jumpers and dungarees, men of myriad
lines of labor-dig on, sweat on, starve
on, not realizing that by paying few
cents additional for their meager
nightly light they are putting into the
hands of their greatest enemy a two
edged sword, to be turned against them
at every opportunity
Bear in mind that this tremendous
sum is all in cash, and is based upon
500 600, 600 of capital stock. of which
there is no telling how much is water!
When we consider that there is in this
country a trust capitalization of over
$1,000, 100000 of other concerns, pro-
ducing incomes proportionately enor-
