Under the heading “American Journalism on Home Rule” the Mis- sissippi Valley Democrat and Jour- nal of Agriculture publishes the fol- lowing: From J. D. Allen, Editor Tres, Butler, Mo.—Under the single stand- ard idea we are fast slipping eur moorings as a government for and by the people, to that of centraliza- tion, wherein the treasury is con- trolled by syndicates and the power of the government is exerted by trusts against our free institutions The rights of sovereign states are no more respected than the rights of individuals, and even the honor of the country is placed on a commer- cial rating. The remedy is the triumph of the principles enunciated | in the Chivago platform, one of most important of which is that this gov ernment can and should control its | mints in its own way without weit | ing for the conssnt or co operation | of any other nation Colorado has just decided to make astate exhibit at the Trans-Mis is-| sippi Exposition on a far more mag nificent ecale than was first coatem- | plated.

K. | Lisle, as candidate for Recorder. eounty for nearly twenty years, coming here trom Richmond, Ken- tucky In that time ne man in the | county bas devoted more of his time or spent bis movey more freely than he for the democratic party. He has twice been chairman of the county committee and the party success showed his admirable management of the campaign. He has been a democrat all his life and never shirk- ed a party responsiblity. He is one of the most kind hearted of men and bas been as true to hisfriends as the needie to the pole. He isa gentle- man uader all circumstances, pleas- ant aud azreeable in manners, well qualified for the duties of the office and would make a very popular nominee. He has distributed thou sands of dollars to the farmers in the liberai buyer. purchas3 of mules, always a drawn from the race for re election to the United States senate. He states in his letter of withdrawal, among other reasons, the foilowing: “One nation after another closed its mints, aod im doing so decveased the demand for silver, snd its price continued to fall until the silver in ovr dollar is now at a discount of 50 per cent of the goli in our gold dol- lar. “Now that the great body of the commereial world bas taken its stand against silver, Ido uot believe it in the power of the United states alone by its independent action, to restore the value of silver to par with gold at 16 tol.” Holding these views Mr. Mills displays great wisdom in getting out of the race of his own accord before the democrats of Texas had time to act. They wouldn't have done a thing to bim. Free Silver in Alaska. K. C. Times. “I received a letter the other day froma friend of mine io Dawson City,” said G N Snieble, of Johns- town, Pa, atthe Midland yesterday. This friend went from Colorada, where he had Jivei many years, but has never become infected with the free silver doctrice. In fact in 1896 be worked and voted for the sound money ticket. Well, he writes me that he thought when he said good by to Denver and headed for the frozen camps of Alaska that he had escaped forever association with the 16 to 1 crowd, that favored remone- tization by the United States, no matter what the course of a!l the rest of mankicd. He was doomed to bitter disappointment, for at Dawson City he finds the sentiment for the white metal just about as intense and universal as it was in Volorado end he is about the only gold bug jin the Yukon valley. Tbis is a pretty queer condition when one reflects that the people who go there go after gold alone, but it 18 no stranger than the fact that the population of Cripple Creek, the greatest gold camp in the world, is unreservedly for free silver. In Perfect Order Patience Became Exhausted, but Good Results Followed | A Missourian Relates a Bit of Per- sonal Experience. “After having two attacks of the gripl was left in avery bad condition. I had no appetite and suffered with severe headaches and a dull feeling. My bones ached, my arms, back and shoulders were sore and stiff and it was almost impossi- ble for me to move. I was treated for find relief I got out of patience and de- cided to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. It was not long before I began to get better. | When I had taken three bottles the sore- ness had all disappeared, my appetite was | good and my digestive organs were in perfect order.” T.C.
