There is no doubt that Mr. land's silver letter at this time was meant to defeat the ‘leve- er house of congress. doubt accomplish this purpose, but what a price he will have paid for it? It will in all probability cost him the presidency. But will his letter affect the democratic party? We might answer yes and no. As a rep- resentative democrat, who once held the presidential chair by virtue of democratic votes and who is a pos- sible nominee of that party for 1892 his utterance will weaken the party. But Mr. Cleveland is not the demo cratic party and his expressions as an individual, when there is no cam paign in progress and the democrat ic party by its representatives in con- vention has not declared a policy on this issue, should be taken only as his opinion, and as such is deserving of no more consideration than that of any man who has made a close study of these questions. No one will question Mr. Cleve- land’s honesty in this matter and in this as in all other, he has the cour age of his conviction, though an ex- pression of the same might prove disastrous to his political advance- ment. Mr. Cleveland as an individual in private life, is separate and distinct from Mr. Cleveland as_ the leader of a great political party, and while he is sincere in his belief that the free coinage of silver isa dangerous ex- periment he would, no doubt, yield to the judgment of the democratic party if its leaders should declare in convention, that to be the party pol- ey. He isa patriot and statesman and we feel assured be would not hold out his,private opinien against the democratic platform and if he did he would not accept a nomina- tion on that platform. Mr. Cleveland's expressions on the silver question should not have creat-| ed much surprise as it was only in keeping with his known opinions clearly expressed in a message to congress while he was chief magis- trate of the nation, but it must be remembered that at that time the democratic party had not adopted free coinage as a settled policy. We do know that the south and west are clamorous for free silver, but whether it is the very best for the interests of these sections to adopt | prosecution of that ease that policy is a question on which there is avast divergence of opin-! gud fault, but the tax payers are en | day onthe 6th aud contributed large- | moves ti 10n. een : Mr. Cleveland's letter is glorious: beimg managed aud we ja as a display of moral courage, but it is not politics. But then Mr. Cleve- land never was and never will bea politician. In writing his silver let ter, as in sending his tariff message to congress, he has had no thought of personal consequences. He is a man of courage and conviction. He is not always right, but when he thinks he is never afraid to go ahead. —St. Louis Republic. measure for free coinage now pending in the low- It will no into his own pocket and loaned Cox | the $80. \ County Clerk Drysdale had the! county's coal hauled to his own resi-, dence. telegraph school monies, county} clerk Drysdale took the money that should have gone to old Prairie City township and distributed it to other districts thereby these school districts out of money that rightfully belougs to them.

To show how much these districts have lost through the blun- dering ignorauce of an iucompetent Official we make a comparison of what they got in the spring of 1890 and what they received under this apportionment: ROCKVILLE TOWNSHIP. heating cheating Dis.
