TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: The Weexkry Times, published eyery Thursday, will be sent to any address one year, postage paid, for $1.00, The sound money democrats of Illinois are making a desperate ef- fort to dislodge the free coinage element of the party and the out- come of the fight appears to be a Split in the part of that state. The gold standard democrats of ‘Texas have called a state convention to take action against the free coin- age theorists, and to select delegates to the sound money convention to be held at Memphis. The trust has sent up the price of hides and a sharp advance in the cost of boots and shoes and harness is the result, so the dispatches say. There is only one way to keep the country moving in the even tenor of it’s way, and that is to kill the com- bines and trusts as fast as they appear. The damages to the vineyards in New York state by the wind and frost Sunday night is estimated to be $1,500,000. The dispatches from Dunkirk state the entire grape crop of the Chautauqua grape belt is ruined and the vines look as though they had passed through a fire. The farmers in this belt raise nothing but grapes and the acreage of bearing grapes last year was 26,- 000. This year the acres planted was 35,000 acres, and not a plant is left living. From this belt last year three thousand and six hundred cars were loaded and the total number of baskets shipped reached 10,800,000. Jerry Hickman, the millionaire grower and wine manufacturer, esti- mates his loss at $250,000. The populists in Indiana (say the dispatches) acting under instruc- tions from chairman Taubeneck, of the national committee, are now maneuvering for a union with the free silyer wing of the democratic party. The populist state commit- tee of Indiana has ceased the work of organizing populist clubs throughout the state and the leaders have been instructed by the national committee to do nothing but to agi- tate and organize free coinage clubs. This begins to look like there will be no populist presiden- tial nomination for 1896, and should the democrats declare for free silver in the national convention the popu- lists, as an organized political party, will support the democratic ticket, national, state and county. Should all this happen, of course the popu- list party would cease to longer exist, and in that case leaders like Atkeson and Andy Hackett would be out of a job. We have seen no evidence of the effects of Coin’s Financial School in the Times. It continues to publish the Cleveland—Carlisle hog wash.— Daion. We have seen no evidence of the effect of Senator Blackburn's letter, Senator Vest’s letter, Senator Voor- hees’ letter or Speaker Crisp’s letter, all eminent statesmen and advocates of free silver, inthe Union. They ean be found in the Tres in the past two weeks. We also published President Cleveland’s and Secretary Carlisle's letters. The Times is a newspaper and believes in giving both sides of all great questione. The only visible approach at educa- tion on the money question that. appears in the Union is from the pen of that profound statesman, who argues from a divine stand- point. Mr. Harper is not a stranger to the people of Bates county. He has been here on several occasions during campaign times and has passed the hat at school house gath- erings, and, being a pretty good financier along this line, it may be he has bypnotized Atkeson to be- lieve that he is a greater man in solving the money question than either of the gentlemen named above. Therefore, the Union quotes and-asks it’s readers to accept Jesse Harper's views on the money prob- lem. The Trwes gives it’s readers the yiews of Blackburn, Vest, Voor- hees, Crisp, Cleveland and Carlisle. The Tives is an up-to-date paper and it’s readers have more than one idea at a time. 2 Qe tacle of a company of BUTLER WEEKLY TIMES | Confederate veterans, in full regalia, marching through the streets carry-| |ing the stars and stripes and eheer-| |ing to the echo, the strains of the | | the “Star Spangled Banner” delight- | |ed the eyes and gratified the senses of the vast multitude of people at!

When the republicans of Illinois last November elected a legislature they expected that body to do it’s Instead of this, they are now threat- ened with a law—known as the Humphrey bill—which has already passed the senate, and is well on its way through the house, intended to legalize gambling in the form of als leged racing, which is not racing at all, but the most pernicious form of gambling that can be done in the name of racing. The least the peo- ple expected was a strong act pro- hibiting that abominable parody on sport known as winter racing. The pending law not only does not pro- hibit winter racing, but sanctions it in its worst form. It bears the im- press of boodle on its face, and the people will naturally believe that those who vote for it have a motive for doing so, of which the public good is neither part nor Globe-Democrat. parcel.— Will Rally Around Free Silyer- Denver, Col , May 13.—Following upon the lecture of ex-Congressman Bland in this city the following edi- torial published in the Denver Times (Republicaa) to night, attracted con siderable attention: ‘Senator Henry M. Teller sound- ed the keynote for the next Nation- al campaign in Colorado in his short speech at the Bland silver meeting last Saturday night. It was not so muce a specia! war cry to Republi- cans, however, as a general warning to all members of all parties to rally round the one flag under which there is hope for the return of national prosperity. , * , ° “When Senator Teller announced that he had cast his last vote for any Presidential candidate who was opposed to free silver or lukewarm in its interests he did it with the knowledge that the Republican party of Colorado stood as one man at his back. It is free coinage or disrup- tion for the national Republican party in 1896. Which will you choose?” Not Through With DeArmond Pleasant Hill Gazett 10 A.J.

It is not good policy to make frequent changes in Congress men. That is different from almost every other political position. The longer a representative or senator is kept at Washington the more influ- ence he has and the better he can serve his people if he is the right sort of aman. The old member is always given the precedence and preference there, and, other things being equal, he should be given the preference at home.

Morrissey was notorious as a crooked worker at the polls. Ten years ago he was indicted for ballot box stuffing, but the influence of the leaders of the part kept him out of the pevitentiary. Two other girls, Lillian Moss and Emma Lewis, who were inmates of the house, and the colored porter, were placed under arrest. The women in the house said that im- mediately on Morrissey’s arrival he and the Lewis woman had quarreled, but they had not considered their differences as serious. Morrissey had started the altercation by telling Maud Lewis that he had “another womaa on Twenty first street.” She had answered that she knew it, and | Wagons and Harnes Road Plows, Steel Road Scrap- Groceries, ‘LOOK HERE FARMERS! that she supposed Morrisey would marry that woman, adding, accord ing to the statements of Night Chief of Police Reedy’s informant: “I don’t care if you do marry her; and bring her here, and I will give you Healthy and Hearty Since Taking Hood’s Sarsaparilia. “For over twenty years I have been troubled with a breaking out on my face, and for 15 yearsI Dover, Del , May 9.—The General Assembly of Delaware adjourned sine die at 3 o’cloek this afternoon without selecting a successor to Senator Higgins, although the Re publicans claim their leading candi- date, Colonel Henry A Dupont, was legally elected.
