CENTRAL COMMITTEE MEETING.
Tbe Holt county republican centrrl
committee is hereby called to meet in
O’Neill on Saturday, July 13, 1S95. for
tbe purpose of fixing a date for the
county convention and tbe transaction
of such other business as may properly
come before the meeting.
Neii, Hiiknnan, Chairman.
Clyde King, Secretary.

Page Now Era.
The Sun does not believe in convict
ing men on perjured evidence, soitsuys,
but does it believe in acquitting men on
perjured evidence?
Thriie seems to be a great discrep
ancy between tbe new statute and tbe
session laws in regard to tbe vote re
quired to divide counties. Tbe statute,
as quoted by us last week says, “If it
shall appear that a majority of nil tbo
votes cast at sucb election,” while the
bill as given in the session laws says,
“If It shall appear that a majortiy of all
the votes cast on the question.” In a
case of this kind we presume tbe bill as
it passed is the law.
The money plank adopted by the
prohibitionists is a lather peculiar
thing, especially when we consider that
' they claim free silver by right of dis
covery. It reads: “The money of the
country should be Issued by the general
government only, through government
banks of loan and deposit directly to
the people upon adequate security and
at a uniform rate of interest. It should
be a full legal tender for the payment of
all debts public and private, without ex
ception in favor of contract stipulation.”

The evidence Introduced at the Scott
trial tending to establish the venue was
of the weakest and most technical kind
and we have failed to find any who ex
press surprise that the jury should dis
miss the defendants upon that ground
alone. It is a well established princi
ple of law that a man charged with
crime must be tried in the county where
the crime was committed, and in this
particular case when the state failed to
clearly establish its allegation that Scott
was killed in Boyd county its case was
sure to fail. The evidence in regard to
the place was barely sufficient to allow
tbe case to go to the jury at all.
--.—
And now the pop supervisors are dis
cussing the idea of refusing to redistrict
and give up their fat jobs to seven com
missioners in accordance with the law
in such cases made and provided. We
understand that they, in their infinite
wisdom and unlimited understanding
have decided that the law is wholly un
constitutional. You may always de
pend upon a pop to kick when he is
called upon to unhand a good thing.
The average pop pops for revenue any
. way and never pays any attention to
the groans of Jones who pays the trans
portation. The pops have a majority
and it they refuse to redistrict we pre
sume that will settle it, but they will
hear from the people later on; tbe same
people who are tired of keeping a con
gress as large as the senate of tbe state.
The decision of the jury on the Scott
murder esse at Butte last week, but
again sustains the careful and consider
ate judgment of our worthy county
judge, and his action at the prelim
inary hearing.—Plain Dealer.
Roll It sustains nothing of the kind,
but demonstrates what disastrous re
sults may follow the “slipshod ways of
' our courts,” about which the pops are
continually howling. Had "our
worthy county judge” been possessed of
that "careful and considerate judgment”
with which the Plain Dealer credits him,
it is easy to imagine a different ending
to this case. Had be refused to release
them on bail, which was tho only
proper course in the light ot the testi
mony introduced at the preliminary,
they would have had less opportunity to
buy beer for Boyd county farmers and
work up sympathy and evidence for
their trial. That he afterwards became
a witness for the defense, coupled with
the nature of bis testimony, is a straw
that indicates the direction of his in
clination.
Come, Horatio, my boy, sit down for
a few moments while the old man talks
to you again. He has an apology to
make, and hopes' you will forgive him
for the false teachings he gave you in
your younger days. You remember,
Horatio, the old man always taught you
by precept and example to be honest,
law-abiding and God-fearing in your
relations with your fellow man and fel
low sister, at the same time holding up
to you the beauties and possibilities of
such a life and the probabilities of its
faithful observance leading you in a
maze of glory to the presidential chair.
You have not forgotten? No. Well,
the old man has learned that his phi
losphy is principally fiat. If you seek
honor and notoriety throw away all
thoughts of righteousness and conse
crate yourself to the world, the flesh
and the devil: join the populist party,
which is controlled by passion instead
of reason, howl against the courts, join
a vigilance committee and murder a
man and then the local paper will print
your biography, make virtues of your
Ring, and while you may never be presi
dent, perhaps your name will be
mentioned in connection with some
county office.
In the last issue of the Beacon Light
was a column and over devoted to Lieu
tenant King of the Bartley Guards.
The theme was an expression imagined
by the writer to have been made by the
lieutenant in regard to the inspection of
tlie guards recently made in this city by
Adjutant General Barry. The lieuten
ant is quoted as saying that he “would
not be inspected by a Paddy.” Now to
our people who are capable of seeing
the other meaning in that article the
object of its publication is obvious
enough to spoil its effect. It is evident
that this man desires to see a religious
and factional fight stirred up in O’Neill,
believing that such a calamity would
tend to draw tiie lines oi business,
society and politics more closely and
that the populists would be the bene
ficiaries. He has not made this senseless
tirade because he has any love for Gen
| eral Barry or the militia, as for the past
two years he has unrelentingly exerted
himself to disorganize our company and
cause its disbandment. The article in
question is really not worth a second
thought and we would not stoop to
notice It were it not to shut off a few
backcappers who would construe our
silence to be an admission of the
offence. It is true that King refused to
be inspected, and while his reasons
therefor are not proper matter for news
paper discussion they are sufficient and
fully understood by the general, who
has had in his possession for the past
two months the resignation of King as
first lieutenant of the Bartley Guards.
The idea that we refused to be Inspected
by the general because he happens to be
an Irishman is preposterous and is
laughed to scorn by our Irish friends.
Fact is King did not know the nation
ality of Mr. Barry until he read the
article in the Beacon Light. We do not
care to discuss the merits or demerits of
any man’s nationality or religion, as
neither is of interest to us. We believe
one man is as good as another, no
matter what religious creed claims his
faith and devotion, or under what sky
he first beheld the light of day. The
writer devotes this space in reply to the
accusation, not to clear himself of a
charge that is untrue, but because he
has been publicly, and with malice,
charged with showing disrespect, as a
member of the national guard, to its
commander, who is a gentleman and a
soldier deserving a denial as public and
as forcible as the accusation, and while
we are upon the subject we desire to
brand the material statements of Kautz
man’s libel as both false and cowardly
and defy him to produce one reliable
person who will substantiate his asser
tion, one who heard us make the remark
by him credited to us. We suppose we
will be considered unwise for noticing
this attack, but theie are men, as Paul
says, filled with unrighteousness, wick
edness, covetousness, maliciousness,
envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity,
whisperers, backbiters, haters of God,
despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of
evil things, without understanding,
covenant-breakers, implacable and un
merciful who make us very tired.
“DEMONETIZATION” OF SILVER.
"Demonetization” is a word used in
this connection with much looseness,
and is generally misunderstood. It is a
j favofite word with writers and speakers
careless of what they say, or who inten
tionally deceive and misrepresent the
facts,
All silver dollars now in circulation
are a legal tender for the payment of
all debts, public and private, and the
government makes no discrimination
whatever against silver or gold.
[The old trade dollar is not a legal
tender, and for that reason went out ot
use. It is not supported by the gold re
serve, and consequently it cannot be
changed for a gold dollar nor tor a legal
tender silver or paper dollar. It is,
therefore, worth only about 50 cents,
although it has the dollar stamp of the
United States upon its face. This is
clear proof of what our silver money
would be worth if it were not inter
changeable with gold. The mere
stamp of the United States, or ot any
other country, could not make it worth
in purchasing power, more than about
50 cents, its commercial value in
weight.]
The repeal of the Sherman law did
not in any way affect the $625,000,000
of silver now in the treasury, and in
circulation, unless, indeed, it strength
ened its value and its position as good
money. The “gold bugs” are not try
ing to destroy the use of this silver.
On the contrary all advocates of sound
money want to continue silver in safe
quantities in use as good money.
The government has simply quit mak
ing any more silver dollars. That is all
the “demonetizing” that has been done.
The silver we have is as good, as money,
as it ever was, and will remain so, unless
the free coinage people succeed in put
ting us on a free silver basis, in which
event it would not be worth more than
half its present value, if, indeed, it
would be worth that.
There is absolutely no “demonetizing”
of silver in the sense the word is under
stood by the mass of -voters. It is used
merely to deceive and mislead.—Dollars
