He explained that he did not mean that peace wonld necessarily be im- posed by force of arm but that pub lie opinion would compel the insur- gents to submit to the reasonable peace terms which the veterans are offering them in order to avoid furth- CT fighting. The liberal leaders, how ever, continue to demand far more than the moderates are willing to con cede. Meanwhile hostilities have to all intents and purposes ben sus- pended on both sides.

Hearst appeals to thousands in the

pressed by his hurrah method and
exaggerated truth but like Hooligan
he never has command OF q situation

poor Maud kicks him over into Other

reading Of the Jerome editorials and

The Oregonian explai ms the pur.
chase of silver by the government in
the following paragraph:
Through expansins OF business,
and through abrasion and loss OF
small coins, it ever has been and al
ways will be necessary to reinforce this
coinage by new and additionl supplies
Till now it has not been necessary,
for many years, to purchase silver for
this purpose-tho the coinage of the
fractional parts of the dollar has
steadily proceeded. Government has
had silver enough for the purpose
from stocks left over from purchases
made during the silver craze. These
are now exhausted. Conssq uently,
the mint must buy silver again, for
the continuance Of the coinage of
small change. This coinage has been
interrupted. But the silver bought
long ago has at last been used up an d
the mint now again is to buy silver
for tho first time in thirteen years.
Some time ago it was asserted
that Adams County politics are run
by ring and now it appears to be q
fact. 1t is noticeable the important
officers are from one side OF the county.
II 9 man 10 nominated from the
ether part he fails to get elected. 1t
10 said and it looks to be the truth
the Republicans and Democrats in a
small place in northern part OF the
county, have joined to elect ring men.
One ticket will nominate . strong
man for one Office and the other
party either leaves it vacant or put in
. weak man and vica versa the ticket
through. II there isn't Q ring why
10 there objections on the Republican
