Fit JI4 oal Fril»P* By F. M. KIMMELL. $1.50 A YEAR IN ADVANCE. ALL HOME PRINT. Of all financial heresies history stamps the proposed rejuvenation of state banks the rankest. All admit that Uncle Sam is very ill, financially speaking. But the good doctors sadly disagree. The Tribune suggests the or ganization of a league to discourage the free and unlimited coinage of words. The farmer is standing these stringent times about as well as any one, the professional agitator to the contrary notwithstanding. Less people would depart this life under the auspices of the string band, if the courts were more swift, and justice more certain, and the power of money less alluring. The Inter Ocean says: The Bank of France keeps §250,000,000 of silver at par with gold. American goldbugs had better inquire how it is done. The august and sedate English parliament was the scene of a most disgraceful riot, the other day. For a few minutes the members pummeled one 'another with the vigor and abandon of a pack of thugs; and black eyes and bloody noses were not wanting to the hum iliating spectacle. All over the question of home-rule for Ireland. “God save the Queen.” The hanging of the fiendish “dago” saloonist, last week in Den ver, for the cruel and unprovoked murder of an inoffensive and aged veteran, will be contemplated with complacency; but all civilization revolts at such senseless brutality as dragging the dead body of the murderer through the streets of the city after the lynching. It was inexcusably barbarous. It was perhaps cruel, but was not meant for unkindness. A large manufacturer down east who was obliged to shut down his works ow ing to the “want of confidence” of the community and the stringency of cash, was waited upon by a del egation of his workmen the other day, who wanted to know how soon he could start up again. The man ufacturer was feeling blue as indigo and said he did not know. “But, sir,” said the spokesman of the party, “we cannot stand this enfor ced idleness. We have families, and when we have no work there is nothing to eat. What are we going to do?” “Yerily I do not know, boys,” replied the weary man, “unless you eat the roosters you wore after the election last No vember."—-J ournal. Secretary Hoke Smith was hung in effigy by the enraged citi zens of Koine, a little town of Adams county, Ohio, Saturday night at 10 o’clock. A number of pensions had been suspended before the climax was leached when the pension of J. L. Keed, a veteran of the Eleventh Illinois cavalry, aged 83, was dropped. Mr. Keed had served four years and five months and his pension was his sole suppont. When he received the news of his suspension lie became a raving manaic. The aroused citizens, led by John Fur uier, a Democrat, proposed to hang Smith in effigy Saturday night. Over 1,000 people, irrespective of party affiliations, assembled to participate in the ceremony. It was intended to burn the president iu effigy also but wiser counsel prevailed. A platform was erected on the public street and several speaches were made, after which a procession marched through the town headed by a brass band. The effigy was then hung and after wards burned. The great civilized nation of France lias forced the semi-civiliz ed nution of Siam to humble itself in the dust. By a display of en ormously superior military strength alone, has the European republic compelled the surrender of a large portion of the territory of the helpless little kingdom. The little Eastern nation made earnest appeals to God-fearing Great Britain, which turned a deaf ear to the appeal for its interest lay more strongly in other directions. China was asked to assert its suz erain rights, but China could not afford to enbroil itself with the civilized power. No other power was interested in the matter suffi ciently to listen to a plea for aid. Resistance would have meant the annihilation of the nation, the dis truction of the fair cities and the loss of many lives. Surrender, abject and complete, was the only other alternative: The King of Siam, preferred to save a little rather than sacrifice all, acceded at the last moment to all the demands of his oppressor. Instead of war there has been only an enormous highway robbery. ELDER BERRY’S FACILITY. McCook has a citizen of many perform ances. On Monday he was auctioneer at a public sale; Tuesday as land agent and notary public he sold several pieces of land and made out and took acknowledgment of the deeds; Wednesday he wrote fire, lightning and tornado insurance in several compani.es for which he is agent; Thursday, he, as justice of the peace heard a lawsuit and en tered a just judgment on his docket; Friday he delivered the principal address at picnic; Saturday acting as police magistrate he fined the demi-monde heavily for a fracture of morality, and on Sunday preach ed a sermon and dedicated a church 11 miles out in the country .-Hayes Centre Republican. The World’s Fair is now half over, and the number of paid ad missions up to August 1 aggregated 7 millions. Although this is very greatly in excess of the admission to the Centennial for a correspond ing period, it has not realized the expectations of the managers, and the fair cannot result in financial success. It is believed the next three months will witness an influx of visitors to Chicago which will greatly surpass the record of May, June and July, but after all, it seems to be settled that Chicago will have to content herself with those intangible benefits resulting from the Fair instead of direct pec uniary returns. A list showing the number of National banks in operation in the United States reveals a very poor showing for the mining states as compared with the agricultural states. California, Colorado, Idaho, Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico show a remarkably small quota of banking institutions. They are not in it with Kansas and Texas and Iowa and Missouri and Illinois. The comparison proves that it is the farmers who are making the money in this country—and saving it. Director General Davis has a right to complain of the churlish policy which the railroads have displayed toward the World’s Fair. They have refused to extend to this magnificent enterprise, which rep resents the very perfection of American enterprise, those con cessions which they usually grant without hesitation to state political conventions and pumpkin shows. The Hon. Tobias Castor is now in Washington and democrats may naturally expect somthing to drop. Tobe intimates in an interview that he has his good right optic on Mc Cook. Ed. J. Mock of the Alma Record has left town and is not expected back. His plant has heen seized by the creditors.
