IV lltloek I’ribijt. By F. M. KIMMELL. $1.60 A YEAR IN ADVANCE. AL.Li HOME PRINT. Mil Cleveland had better stick to the tariff reform idea, and let the Bilver question alane. It is pretty save to conclude that America will in due time decide for biraetalism and a monetary system of her own. But it may cost the democracy its job in the decision— which will not be in the nature of a national disaster after all. Ihe recent bombardment of the blue ethereal space around about Stockville, was not a success, pluv ially speaking. But “in the matter of noise, rattling windows, loosen ing plaster and making some of the women nervous, it was all right,” says the Republican. The Sherman law cannot be fairly held responsible for the present unfortunate condition of the finances of our land, and we do not expect to see the law re pealed without a substantial com promise measure substitutes it, more favorable if anything, to the white metal. When the big national banks of Milwaukee, Indianapolis and Louisville begin to crash as they have been for the past several days, it looks as if the New York Sun had made mistake when it declar ed last Monday that west of the Missouri river bankruptcy was the rule rather than the exception. —————— The Stites twins of Wichita, Kas., who married twins and are each the father of twins, will find millions in the fame they have achieved in the past few days if they want to go into a libel suit business. The newspapers of the country are denominating them “Chicago fakes,” “Arabian Nights figments” and the like with reck less disregard of tbeir living feel ings- _ There is some talk up in Hayes county of voting on the question of township organization. If the people of Hayes county have as much good horse sense as The Tribune has credited them with, they wiy knock that foolish propos ition into smithereens. Thev have •/ no use for such an expensive and unwieldy organization. None whatever. The pop public printer of Kan sas explains the dismissal of the old state militia and the reorganization of the same with nobody but long tried pops on guard, as a little pre paration in good time for“marching the republicans into the shadow of hell in the face of red roaring guns.” When the New York Com mercial Advertiser read the pro gramme it advised the pops of Kan sas and Colorado to fan each other. Thebe are some people who think that England can dictate the finan cial policy of the United States. Well, she can if she can, not other wise. But there is no need of ac cepting that alternative. American silver at the ratio of sixteen to one ought to be as good as European silver at a ratio of fifteen to one and a half, and woe be unto the ad ministration or party that forces demonetization at the behest of Rothschild and the money-chang ers of Wall street. While the railroads of the Western Passenger association are haggling away about graded rates to Chicago, a good many people who have been saving up money to go to the World’s fair are get ting out of the notion. Every day that the railroads postpone the es tablishment of an open, one fare rate to the Columbian show de creases their present earnings, and renders the prospect for enlarged travel to the World’s fair later in the season more doubtful.

Coleman Precinct. Fall plowing has commence.!. Forest trees are making a very fine growth. I. W. IJwire made proof to his fine tree claim, Monday. With the exception of a few fields corn is looking fine. A large number turned out to the ice cream social, Saturday night. Thos. Real has sixty acres of corn on back-setting that is very nice.

Mott Droll, John and Henry Smith went to the mouth of the Willow fishing, Friday, and caught a large number. Wm. Coleman closed up two land sales this week and has two more under way.

Warfield of Montgomery county, Iowa, has bought the Baxter Davis farm and will move on it in three weeks. We understand that Mr. Davis will move to Missouri. William Coleman will make the sale. I. B. Smith is very notional. He took a notion and bought a fine quarter of land; then he took a notion and turned one hundred and forty acres of it upside down; then he took another notion and built a frame house; then another notion led him to build a frame stable for six horses and a tool shed, and the next no tion induced him to sink a well and erect a moter wind mill, still another led him to build a crib and stock sheds and fence twenty acre for pasture. Now we suggest another notion that will lay all these other notions in the shade and that is—get married. First Annual Meeting. The first annual meeting of the stock holders of the A. O. U.
