The Official Republican Paper of Monroe Comity.

Dennis B. Haung-s, Editor and Prop.

j Office Xohth of Post Okfce,

If this paper pleases you tell others -if not, tell us.

Entered at the Postoffice in Bloominpton as Second Class Matter. Paper sent to any address without extra cost, and addresses changed as often as desired. EDITORIAL.

Paoli saloons had a turkey dinner Thanksgiving day, and some of the good citizens imbibed too much turkey. Now there's trouble.

Another negro was burned at the stake yesterday, this time in Kentucky, and we are still sending foreign missionaries to convert the heathen.

Whenever any of the powers get strong enough to defeat Uncle Sam, the conqueror may rest assured that the trouble will not be prolonged by what is called guerrilla tactics.

Our own Bob Miers has been appointed a member of the special committee to investigate the standing of Polygamist Roberts in the House of Representatives. Speaker Henderson made a very good selection in this one instance at least. Bob will be fair.

The longest biography in the congressional directory recites the virtues ar.d achievements of Chauncey M. DePew, Senator from New York. The shortest is that of Senator Beveridge of Indiana. Our junior Senator is to be commended for his, modesty.

Ah ! if young people would only look at the practical side of matrimony ! It is not all romance ! Much of it is prosaic bread and butter. But love, naughty sprite ! works much mischief. Even our great Dewe' lost his head and a little of his glory in the delirium of love.

It seems that Congressman Roberts' case is to become a political question after all, the Republicans being for expulsion. How good they have become. There is absolutely not a Republican in the entire House who would even look an any woman not his wife, and their morality is beautiful to look upon.

A COUNTRY OF OPPORTUNITY. On leaving the United States after a professional stay of ten years Emma Goldman, the anarchist, calls the American workmen the most contemptible creatures on earth. She says she has tried to enlighten them, but "What is the result?. My very name makes them shiver. There is no hope for the American workman. He will not think, and he has always stabbed his best friend in the back and worshiped the man, who makes a slave of him." Miss Goldman departs laboring under several mistakes, though not as to the complete failure of her mission. She errs in saying that her name makes American workmen shiver. They simply pass it by with indifference. When Miss Goldman "thinks" she sits down, knits her forehead, and exhibits a ferocious mood, or else stands up and makes a speech favoring the complete dis-

organization of society, preferably with dynamite. If American workmen considered her important enough to mention at all they would remark, in charitableness, that she is insane, and dismiss the subject. In the course of ten years Miss Goldman has exhausted all resources to spread her anarchistic teaching and, as she confesses, without the least effect. If she had looked beyond her small, beetle-browed circle she would would have seen a country in which poor men's sons, the sons of workmen, reach the highest pssition in every walk of life. The motto of Americans is "We build," Letting loose destructive forces, tearing down organized industry, replacing order with disorder, opening the doors to mob instability and blind passion, and stoning those who rise by force of effort and character is not the American fashion of going ahead. Miss Goldman says she found but ten real anarchists

in this country, the rest who call themselves by the name beingcoward and hypocrites. These ten should hasten to follow her example. The United States is not an encou raging field for their gospel of hatred and violence. American workmen have no use for them. They live in a country of opportunities and improve them to the constant advantage of themselves and their children.

HIDE SEASON

Is Now Open and in Full Blast in Monroe County.

FARMERS INSTITUTE. The Monroe County Farmers Institute will be held at the court house Friday and Saturday Dee. 8 and ). A line program has been prepared that is instructive,

jam using and enter taing and every j fanner should attend- The meetnigs are free and opeu to all. A i huge attendance is desired as the committee has one to much trouble to make it attractive.

Col. L. T. Diekason and wife of Chicago are at the Gentry.

The Monroe county hide season according to John Payne, the largest dealer in furs in the connty, is now open and in full blast. There will be, aecordiug to his figures, some $5,000 expended for hides this season. Mr. Payne has been in the business for 36 years and states that not only will the price be higher, but that there will bo a perceptible increase in the production. The market price for the skunk hide is $1.30, 80c, 40c, and 20c, divided in four grades each, which are culled by Mr. Payne according to the stripes and stars on each hide. There are indications that there will be large shipments of coon, o'possmn, mink, muskrat and fox hides from here to New York during

the season. Many a farmer lad contrives to make a neat sum during the winter months, trapping these animals.

From Saturday's Daily Progress. HIDDEN TREASURE. The county papers commenting so much on prospectors seeking coaloil in ''these parts1' of late, caused a well known old farmer to remark to a reporter the other day 4 'Not knowing the indications of coal oil but any one, who is interested, will come to me I can take him, not very far from Smithville, says the News, where you can drill a hole in a rock and in a little while the hole will become tilled with genuine coaloil, or break off a piece of the rock and throw it iu the tire, it will readily burn.'? This information is perf( ctly reliable and it seems that it should be investigated.
