GOLD STANDARD NONSENSE.
Henry Clews of New York, who
presumes to furnish the mental pabu
lum which makes up the weekly diet
of the average bankers and "business
men cf this country, io a recent
article attempted to settle the money
question at one fell swoop of his
mighty pen. "Why," wrote he, "if
the United States adopt the free coin
age of silver, everything we sell
abroad we will be obliged to take our
pay for in 40 cent silver, and every
thing we buy abroad we will have to
pay for in gold at gold prices. If the
balance of trade continues in our favor
we can possiblv get along without
great disaster, but if it should turn
against us we woold simply be a ruined
nation."
That was tbe burden of his deliv
erance. Mr. Clews may be a very suc
cessful money getter on "cent per
cent" principles, but he should whet
up his mental faculties a little if he
wants to convince thinking people that
be knows what he is writing about.
In tbe first place, the people of tbe
united Mates sold abroad last year
about $1,175,000,000 worth of pro
ducts. If Clews' position were correct,
those foreigners under free silver
would have been obliged to pay to us
nearly one-half of all tbe coined silver
in the world. As we sell most of o&r
products to Europe, the question. arises
where would the European have got
the silver from with which to pay this
great sum? Again, ywe bought abroad
last year nearly. 1,000,000,000 worth
of goods. Instead of paying that sum
in gold fee those goods the supposition
is that even if we had adopted free
sliver coinage, and our home currency
had depreciated to the (present) silver
bullion standard, our products would
bring as much in gold in European
markets as those ot any other country,
and we could pay for the gsods bought
with the goods sold and still have the
same balance of trade in our favor,
measured in European money, as we
have had under tbe present gold stand
ard. Europe could only compel us to
take our own silver in payment for our
goods, and she could only get our silver
by paying us dollar for dollar in gold
for it. Because, a silver dollar wbieh
is of full legal tender value will pay as
much of debt here as any other dollar,
and no man would part with his silver
dollars for less than they were worth
"to him in debt-paying power.
Put, suppose the balance of trade
were" to go against as, what then?
'Why, our people could pay in products
for the goods we bought, as far as they
went, at the European gold price, and
then if they weuld not take our silver
for the remainder, it might have the
effect of lessening the amount of our
foreign purchases, which might not be
an unmixed evil.
The truth of the matter is, Mr.
Clews either doesn't know what he is
writing about, or is purposely trying to
deceive his readers. In the light of
reason the beogaboo of cheap silver
and ruin vanishes into thin air.

fusion ticket as having said "'tis bet
ter to have ran and lost, than never to
have ran at all." Mayfield is a f nnny

ming, dui mere is nothing so ex
crutiatingly funny about him aa his
grammar, or rather his lack of gram
mar. Instead of racking his in
finitesimal brain in a vain endeavor to
bring forth "gems of wit," it would b
well for The Courier man to spend at
least a part of his time in poring over
the pages of some competent authority
On the use of the English language.
Georob J. SPOHN,who.-was reared
in Cass county, and who now resides
in Superior. Nuckolls county, was
elected to the legislature by tbe fusion
lata of the Twenty-sixth senatorial dis
trict. This is a well deserved honor,
A. B. Uedbloom, who was formerly in
the drug business in Plattsmonth, was
a candidate for float senator for Her
rick and Folk counties, and was de
feated. He is a republican.
Jim Tanser, editor of The Fuller
ton Post, has been elected to tbe state
senate by the fusionists. Jim is
bright boy, and tbe voters of bis dis
trict made no mistake in thus honor
inghim. '
THE RESULT.
"Why were you not out to vote last
Tuesday?" the writer assea or a cer
tain democrat the other day. Well,"
said he, "I forgot to register, ana i
didn't like to swear in my vote; and
. v
then, I thought, one vote won't make
any difference, and our folks are going
to win in the state, anyway." And so
it was to a large extent the state over,
and that accounts for the loss of the
legislature in so many close districts,
and tbe close shave on carrying the
state ticket through. In Cass county
where the republicans elected their
entire ticket, more than enough demo
crats and populists stayed at home to
have changed the result on the legis
lative and county ticket.
How do you account for this condi
tion? asks some one! It is due to three
causes. (1st.) Over-confldence, and
the general belief that the fusion of
the free silver forces could cot be
beaten. (2d.) Lack of management
or leadership; the fact that our great
leader was in tbe service of Uncle Sam
and his voice and energy were not
directing affairs. (31.) The fact that
men forget tbe importance of keeping
an enemy down who has been thrown
and are less active in fighting a beaten
foe than one who has been successful;
in other words the robbers were not
now with their hands up to their arm
pits in the state treasury; they bad
been driven out of the state house and
out of power; that's a good enough job
to quit on for awhile. These three
things account for the loss of 10,CD0 or
12,000 fusion votes in Nebraska this
year. It is probable that cot one
honest populist or democrat of last
year out of five hundred voted the re
publican ticket this year. They didn't
win a clean victory because of one or
perhaps more of the reasons set forth
above. There were unquestionably
enough stay-at home f unionist in any
county in the state to have changed tbe
majority of tbe legislature, and insured
the return of Senator Allen.
On the other--hand, the republicans
made a mHe vigorous fight and got
out their party strength better for two
reasons: (1.) Tbe glamour and halo
of a successful war. When Senator
Thurston opened the campaign at
Hastings, his first sentence was, "In
this campaign there is only one issue,
and that is patriotism." That, too.
was the burden of all tbe speeches,
from every republican platform. (2.)
It behooved that party to make a good
showing this year, or they might as
well give up the fight in Nebraska for
years to come. Three straight defeats
and the rank and file would lose heart
so that it would be an effort of a
Hercules to bring about a victorious
condition.
'These were the elements that pre
vailed to bring about the result of No
vember 8. True, fusion has elected the
governor and every state officer, but it
ba3 lost tbe legislature by a small m
jority. Tbe reform element must
better work next year.
MDBDEKWO THE UHUDAOK
Of all the grammatical and rhetoric!
abortions ever brought forth in newa
paperdom, The Evening News of last
Friday was certainly the worst. Here
is a fair sample of "English as she was
writ" in the above mentioned sheet:
Shortly after 1 o'clock Robt. Karnes came
to town with two loads of wood, a boll dog
foUowed the wagons, another canine of the
same variety belonging to the Fair store,
gazed across the way, something in the per
sonal appearance seamed to strike the other
as repugnant, and with on accord they
made a dash at each other, and the fight was
on. A large crowd was attracted and the
dogs had to be palled apart. A little bad
feeling was eagendered over tbe affair.

Ossenkop DlamliMd,
District court opened Monday morn
ing, and pending the disposal of some
unimportant matters tbe jury was ex
cused until the following day, wben
tbe case of tbe State vs. Henry Osaen-
kop.cbarged by his wife with statutory
rape, was called for trial. The attor
neys at once got into a squabble over
some law point, and the jury was ex
cluded from the room until three
o'clock, wben they again took their
seats. Tbe defense objected to the
prosecuting witness testifying, on the
grounds that she was yet the wife of
the defendant, and the court sustained
the objection. This practically
knocked the bottom out of tbe case,
and tbe defense offered no testimony
whatever and submitted tbe matter,
without argument, to the jury.
Judge Ramsey instructed the jury
to find a verdict of not guilty, which
was. accordingly done, and in a few
minutes young Ossenkop was a free
man again.
Orowinf It's? Trout.
Fish Commissioner May and Super
intendent O'Hrien of tbe state hatcher
ies have luued into Omaha two bas
kets of rainbow trout grown from fry
tben half ro inch long, planted six
yt-nra ago, in the head waters of the
Wbito river. These particular trout
were caught on the ranch of II. II.
Russell near Glenn, Sioux county, and
were planted from eggs procured from
McCloud river, Cal., and hatched out
at the state fisheries at South Bend.
One whopper of a trout weighs six
pounds and three oouces. Tbe others,
ten of them, average four pounds each
The fish are handsome and tbe way in
which they have thrived is taken to
show that some of Nebraska's trout
streams can colonize those valued food
fishes perfectly, World-nerald.
An Aged FlooMr Gona.
Mrs. W.B.Davis of .Liberty pre
cinct, one of the pioneer women of
Cass county, died on last Thursday
week, and was buried at Union ceme
tery on the Sunday following. Mrs.

Mike Tritscb, the jeweler, met with
an accident tbe other day that will
keep bim from work for some time,
lie was enroute for Omaha on bis
wheel and whs making one of bis long
distance ppuns down a bill, wben he
collided with a team. Tbe team or its
driver was not injured, but Mike did
not come out so lucky. Wben he
picked himself up he was tangled in
tbe running gears of tbe wagon and
had received a painful fracture of his
right shoulder, besides other injuries.
