In commenting upon Mr. Bryan's re marks regarding the Manhattan club dinner and the "reorganizing" plans there broached by Hill and others , the New York Times says : "Mr. Bryan Knows very well , of course , that the sound-money demo crats voted for McKinley in spite of his high tariff views , because in their judg ment a hi h tariff is not to be compared in point of viciousuess with the repud iation of honest debts , it is not any question of Mr. Hill's sincerity that troubles Mr. Bryan , but the fear that he may succeed in persuading the party to make the tariff its issue in the next campaign. That would exclude all the issues to which Mr. Bryan made the party commit itself , and him with them. We cannot doubt that he would rather see the democracy go to destruction on his free silver platform than to a vic tory on a platform of tariff for revenue only. " Ye tit is to be observed that Mr. Bryan made his campaign in 1900 , not on free silver but. upon the issues of imperial ism and the trusts. And he proposed to deal with the latter as far as they could bo reached in that way by the abolition of the tariffs which buttress them. The Times is not unaware of the fact that Mr. Bryan is a free trader and that if be were president he would not stop at any paltry "tariff reform. " His record is clear on this question and one of the boldest and most sweep ing speeches that was made in the house when the Wilson bill was pending came from this same William Jennings Bryan. That speech made him a famous man and it was that speech , and not the "crown of thorns and cross of gold"de liverance of Chicago , which made him the nominee of the party of freedom in 1896. 1896.Those Those democrats who supported Mc Kinley were not driven to do so by any fear that Mr. Bryan's election would involve the repudiation of honest debts. It was their fear.that his election would bring a sudden close to an era of trib ute-taking through privilege. The as sault Mr. Bryan made on the gold mon- oply was regarded as tantamount to an assault upon monopoly in general and every monopolist in the country , no matter what his party affiliations , rush ed in a panic to the standard of the free silver advocate whom Mark Hanna had named as the monopoly candidate for the presidency. The record of William McKinley in favor of free silver was clearer than that of William Jennings Bryan. Before the latter was ever heard of the Ohio champion of cheap silver dollars had distinguished himself as a foe of gold monometalism ; and even up to tho hour of his nomination he wa- recognized as one ot the mo it uncom promising advocates of free coinage. It was therefore not the silver issue which made the "reorganizing" demo crats afraid of Bryan. It was not re pudiation which they dreaded. It was not a dishonest dollar that filled them wtih alarm : For McKinley had ; been for free silver and for the cheap dollar of tha fathers. It was something else and something very much more vital than any question of currency which drove the Whitneys and the Carlisles and Harritys and Faircbilds over into the republican camp. It was the fear of a war on monopoly of every sort of a war on the transportation monopoly , on the banking monopoly , on the Stand ard Oil monopoly , on the iron and steel monopoly , on the whole brood of mon opolies hatched out by the republican legislation and republican favoritism. And if Hill and his admirers were sin cere in their talk of "tariff reform" they would not now be using thai issue for the purpose of discrediting Mr. Bryan. They know that he is far and away a better anti-protectionist than they have proven themselves to be. He has sup ported no Dingleyite for the presidency under false pretense of patriotism. Not has he used "tariff reform" as a cloak under which to masquerade while pro moting protectionist schemes of bounty and subsidy and private taxation. He has stood four squate for democratic principles and he still so stands. And 7,000,000 democrats stand with him. Johnstown Pa , , Democrat. On March 4th the senate passed a bill to authorize the sale of a part of the Fort Niobrara military reservation to the village of Valentine. The bill originally provided that the Felling price should be S900 , but an amend ment was added making it $1,440 , and as tKas'-amended it passed the senate. ADDITIONAL LOCAL Geo. C.

All the good features that made the old store so pop ular , the prompt and courteous attention , the carefulness , the excellent prescription ser vice , the high grade of goods carried , the fair prices , all of these will be found in the new store. The additionalroom will enable us to increase our stock to meet the demands upon it and 10 give greater attention to certain lines that our cramped quarters in the old store would not permit. We cannot tell you half of the improvements that a single visitwill disclose. We want you to come in. whether you need anything or not ; . : : : : : Quigley & Chapman , Druggists , s Valentine , Nebraska , Major Anderson writes from Wash ington , D. 3. , to have us send him the VALENTINE DEMOCRAT. The Major left here about February 1st after putting up his ice for the summer and intended makinjr a journey through some of the Southern states and tpend the remainder of the winter in Wash ington with his family. John H. Neiss spent several days in town last week. Mr. Neiss owns a nice bunch of nearly 600 head of cattle which he had to winter up on White river , several miles north of his ranch on account of the prairie fire last fall burning up so much of his hay and range. We credit Mr. Neiss with an other year's subscription to the DEM OCRAT. Geo. D. Huggins , of Norden , came in last week before the storm and , as he wasn't feeling very well , got a doctor to take care of him. Monday he was feeling pretty well , and as it was a nice day called on the editor to pay a year's subscription. This puts Mr. Huggins in good standing and he is entitled to the pass-word of this of fice and he is welcome at any time. Mr. Huggins sold some cattle to J. WT Stetter last week. Last Saturday a hunting party , sor rowful looking and dejected , sitting around the Hotel Donoher waiting for the storm to abate its fury that they might go out to the lakes to shoot ducks , They tried to look pleasant but they had come up from Omaha just to go hunting and didn't relish sitting around in a comfortable house while the storm was raging. The party was composd of Chas. Metz , Judge Chas. Ogden , F. L. Goodrich , Sandy Griswold and his son , Girard. If a business is worth doing it won't do you any harm to advertise. If you are paying a lot of expenses connect ed with your business , why not add a trifle more of expense to increase the business and keep busy. If you don't advertise some one will and you'll be sitting around grumbling because people don't know what you have to sell. We have kept two men em ployed all winter when we could have done less work and gotten along with one. But we believe in reciprocity. Do you ? Fred Whittemore is in town this week. B. M. Faddis returned Monday night from au'Eastern trip. C. F. Long , of Brownlee , came up to attend the assessor's meeting. George Weisllog , of the German set tlement , was in town Tuesday. J. P. Swain called at this ollice last Saturday while in our city on business. W. D. llicketts , of Merriinan , made us a pleasant visit while in town Tues day , Ed Holsclaw is moving the Carpen ter building back across ihe alley west for Jackson and Brayton. We under stand that they contemplate building another stone building joining them where it stood. We read a story in some paper we can't remember now what paper of an editor who resigned his position , turned over the keys and died. St. Peter came marching along prompt ly to escort the weary soul to its last resting place in the midst of all the good people who had "gone before. " But the heart-sick soul that had struggled for existence during1 its stay upon earth and with constant thought upon a final reward to conae felt some reluctance about being jammed into heaven without his con sent or deliberate consideration nor even asking approval. He wanted to look around for a while before settling down to eternal happiness and asked 'permission and a ticket to cake in the side show of Beelzebub , which were finally procured for him and he wend ed his way along the narrow aisles and dark passages of the dungeon only ligted by the hideous and wierd lights made by the scorching and simmering bodies of the wicked. St. Peter , who had waited for him at the gate , be coming impatient , started in search of the wanderer in the dark region and found him perched on a seat in the front row gleefully chuckling to himself , the while gazing upon a lot of delinquent subscribers that were burning and writhing in a furnace near by. Upon being pressed to go and take up his abode in heaven he replied with a cheerfulness that he hadn't known for years : "Just giye my place to someone else , St. Peter. This is heaven enough for me. " The dance on St. Patrick's day was a success. The Arabia band furnished the music. Win. Wilson and Mr. Coleman , oE Georgia , were callers at this office Tues day while m town. E. A. Werlick , of Oasis , and S. L. Ellis , of binitioir , merchants , were in after goods Monday. Joseph Stolzle handed us a dollar on subscription this week and tells us that Mrs. Stolzle is getting well and soon will be up and around again. GeoV. . Miller spent a few days in our city histek. . We neglected to announce that Mr Miller remembered the editor with a dollar on subscription. The Bixbj'-Retz-Beichard Co. ap peared before a well filled house Tues day night despite the f-ict that the mau agers had failr.d to notify the uewspa pers of their coming , but hand bills went the rounds of the town proclaim iug that Bixby was here. Miss iletz is a good vocalist , splendid in imper sonations and Miss Kuiuhard is at home with the violin. Col. Bixby is well known as the writer of "Daily Drift" in the State Journal and is appreciated in any audience. They were well re ceived here and those who failed to hear them missed a treat. Mr. Cornell took them down to see Fort Hiobrara during the afternoon , Why Irish Wear Green on St. Patrick' * l > ay. Mr. Editor : I write you a few lines for the child ren as they are anxious to know why Irishmen aud their deceudants wear green on March 17. I wish I had more space , but it will convey the idea. St. Patrick was a slave captured on the coast of France at the beginning of I the 5th century when he was eight yrs , old and became the slave of an officer in the Irish army by the name of Malchs. His mother had instilled into his youthful mind virtue and Christian ity. When ho was sixteen years old a spirit moved him to convei t the Irish to Christianity , lie got up in the night aud walked to the sea where he found a vessel bound for Gaul which he board ed. He vas driven off by a sailor , but \\as presently taken on again. The vessel was driven by a storm on the coast of Scotland. He made his way eventually to Rome where he vras or dained by Pope Celestine. He then made his W'iy back to Ireland arriving there on March 17. There was a cele bration there on that day in honor of the God and Goddess Dia and Ana. Bonfires were built. The King built his fire first , but St. Patrick started a fire on the seashore in sight of Laghair the King. The Druid Priests informed Taghair if he did not extinguish that fire it would burn thus all the time. The King through curiousity offered Patrick an interview the following day on which Patrick met three of the King's daughters , Doubilina , Edna and Galaise , and says you had better be the daughters of the King of heaven. Doubiiina says is he handsome and are his daughters beautiful ? Patrick found Ireland all pagan and heathen and left it entirely Christian. There used to be a white cross with three golden stars which represents these three beautiful princesses. In explaining the trinity to the King Taghair , tbe beautiful court ladies , the Crown Prince of Ice land who happened to be present , aud m propounding the Trinity , the Father Son and Holy Gho3t , Patrick used the shamrock in way of demonstraion , so all Irishmen who are Christians use and wear this emblem to commemorate the landing of the Patrou Saint of Irelaud on March 17th , Patrick Diocetirness.
