FRIDAY, DEOEMRER 29 1899.

MB. CRKKLMAN, the great New York Journal warrior, has not is£ued a bulletin for near two days.

THK continuance of prosperity ana the demands for more laborers are making life miserable for professional tramps.

IT looked like blind ignorance for the Republicans to vote Bolidly for the currency bill, after Mr. Bryan had Baid it was so pernicious

MB. BRYAN has doubtless forgotten all about wheat and silver. Certain mischievous persons, however, will call the mattor to bis attention in 1900

TBK United States has never made a business of war, yet it has shown its ability to get ready and carry one through about as quickly as most nations.

SILVERITKS are now declaiming against ''ribing prices." How is this? In 1896 the scheme of free silver was advanced as a panacea for "falling prices"

CHANGES are fri quently necessary in the wage scales of the various manu facturere, and to Democratic disgust, they are always in the interests of the wage earners

GEN. LEONARD WOODS magnificent administration of the province of Santiago makes his appointment as governor general of Cuba a matter of congratulation alike to Americans and Cubans.

THE coinage of gold in the last fiscal year was the greatest in the annals of the government It amrunted to 8108,177,180 as against 864,634,805 in the preceding ear, and might have been considerably larger if the capacity of the mints had been greater.

THE medical mnmls report a queer case in Plait.Sold, N J., of a woman who had her vocal cords removed,leav ing her of course speechless bub that this function was reetorod by a silver apparatus. This is not the first time on record that silver has caused speech.

MINNEAPOLIS has now bad its turn at harboring a gathering of patriotic anti-imperialists. An example of the Bpineless,sickening attitude of the delegates is found in the prayer of invocation by the Rev. W. Riley in which the clause occurs, "God grant not to give our own soldier boys success."

IN his spei eti at the tomb'of* Washington, President McKinley said: "The nation needs at this moment i^'e help of his wise example. In dealing with our vast responsibilities we turn to him. We invoke the counsel of his life and character &nd courage This hardly makes the President the rank imperialist he is pictured by the antis.

IN 1872 the Republican delegates at Philadelphia nominated by acclamation, General U. S Grant and he was thence triumphantly escorted to the White House In 1900. twenty-eight years later, Republicans at Philadelphia will nominate Major William MeKinley and he will subsequently be accorded the nation's highest honor.

THE Omaha World Herald makes a bad break in sayiug that "Speaker Henderson will use the Reed rules, which is another sign of a grown.g lack of originality among Republican leaders Does the esteemed WorldHerald forget that the last Democratic congress, after reviling the Reed rules beyond measure, was itself forced to adopt them word for word?

THOSE who are screaming against trusts with the idea of influencing the vote of the laboring man, may be surprised at Mr Samuel Gompers' statement before the industrial commission that a large majority of the workingmen in the federation of labor are employed in industries controlled by trusts and are not dissatisfied. Organizations of labor, Mr Gompers said*, look upon these combinations simply as employers and are not disposed to antagon'z-* them BO long as they get good wages and are well treated. Budding statesmen may also be taken aback by his statement that organized labor regards iwith apprehension the many panaceas and remedies off-red to curb or destroy combinations of industry, for the reason that they would probably do more injury to labor than to the trusts. Mr. GomperB is president of combined labor organizations having a membership of 800,000.

MB. LANDIS' PLAN.

He Outlines Hi* Position Regard lug the Governorship,

Indianapolis Journal: Representative Charles B. Landis, of Delphi, after the love feast yesterday, outlined his position to the Journal with reference to the governorship. "I am a representative from the Ninth district and have fourteen months yet to serve," said he, "and I am asking for a renomination. I am not a candidate for the governorship and never have been. I am not fooiish enough to say that I would not accept the nomination if it were tendered me, for, aside from the two United States senators from this state, I do not know a man in Indiana who would not feel honored by the nomination. But I have not thought of the matter, because I am in the midst of an important session of congress, when my whole time should be given to the interests of my party and my people. I have no time in which to make a canvass for the nomination, and therefore do not wish to stand in any false light. I have been told that I can be nominated, but I will make no effort to secure the --place, not because I would not like it, but because I could not in honor take the time for making a canvass from the duties of the position to which I have been elected If I could be nominated without any effort on my part, I am not fool enough to say I would refuse it, but I cannot spare any time in which to make any fight for the place. In the meantime I am attending strictly to my duties, and at the proper time I will ask for renomination to congress from the Ninth district

Lieutenant Governor Jones, of Ohio, haB campaigned with Representative Landis in times past, and the two met in the corridor of the Denison yesterday afternoon for the first time in months. At first sight of each other the action was mutual, and, not waiting to shake hands, they threw their arms around each other and hugged for several seconds. Finally the biir Ohioan held the Delphi statesman off at arm's length, and looking down at him from his great height, Baid: "Why, Charlie, this is the first time I have seen you since we met in Pittsburg. That was a great speech you made." The Delphi orator was so confused that he cou do nothing but smile and biusb, while Governor Jones told the circumstances to the circumstances to the large crowd gathered about.

St'*

In its account of the speeches at the love feast the Journal says: "Representative Landis was compelled to speak out of his- logical turn by the tremenc ous demonstration in his favor."

HAPPY HOME WEDDING.

Mr. JameR Wallace Walter and Mits Clara Nye Stout are Married at the Home of the Bride.

Wednesday evening, Dec. 27, 1899, at the beautiful home of Mrs. John N. Stout, Clara Nye, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. N. Stout, was married to Mr. James Wallace Walter, of Yountsville The rooms of the residence were handsomely adorned for the happy occasion and presented a lovely appearance. Abjut seventy-five guests were present at 7:30 o'clock, the ifoar appointed for the ceremony. At thin hour the bride and groom, preceded by the officiating clergyman, Rev. N Nye, of Vermillion, 111., descended thestairs and passing into the parlor, took their stand before a bank of flowers facing the guests. The bride was attired in a most becoming costume of Victoria lawn trimmed in lace and white satin ribbon. She carried bride's roses and wore them in her hair. The ceremony was a most beautiful and impressive one. Immediately after the ceremony an elegant wedding supper was served in the dining room The presents to the bride were many and beautiful, there being many exquisite pieces and handsome sets of service, in silverware, china, linen, etc. Mr. Walter is an excellent and refined gentleman, and the young couple have the best wishes of a host of friends. After a wedding trip through the south, Kentucky and Tennessee, they will be at home to their friends at the home of the bride. Mr. and Mrs Walter start in life with the fairest prospects, and there is no doubt they wiil make a success. X.

A Christinas Tree.

A Christmas tree at a country home was a success beyond all expectations. This is what we call encouraging the young folks to love their home. What home is to be enjjyed more than a home on the farm? How can we expect our boys and girls to love a home in the country when we make no effort to have attractions in the country that we se in our little towns and villages? If your children love musicT have them learn music. If they love books, give them an education. If they love the farm, teach them to farm and how to care for stock, and above all, teach thnm that there is no other position in life that is more honorable than to be an honorable, practical tiller of the soil. Three miles cue south of New Market lieB a section of country that forty years ago wab known as the Black Swamps. Such a name to a section of country in this aay and age would imply that the peo pie who were living in such a neighborhood would not be a class that was up to date But not so. The patrons of Walnut Grove school dibtrict banded themselves together for the purpose of celebrating Cbrist'e birthday. The committee on arrangements was invited by H. C. Reeves and wife to erect a Christmas tree at their home. The invitation was accepted and a more lovely tree was never looked upon than the one at this place.

Many valuable presents were on this tree and the poor were not forgotten. Quite an extensive programme was arranged. The exercises for the even-, ing opened with prayer by broth^E John W. Hanna, who also gave an intelligent talk on Christmas trees and why we have them. Some grand music was furnished by Manning Vancleave, B. Doyel, Angie Doyel, Chloe Doyel, and others. Quite a number of choice declamations were listened to from the older ones as well as the little ones. The priucipal speakers were: Blanche Johnson, Hattie Hultz Elva Sayier, Noble Reeves, Blanche Doyel, Clarence Sayier, Chloe Doyel, Mabel Clements, Vtalma Layne, tlbzal Ciements, Eiith Swope and Grace Landes We never have had the pleasure of attending a Christmas entertainment that was more instructive. While this is not the fir6t celebration in the Walnut Grove school district, it is to be hoped they will continue from year to year. We wish to extend to all present a prosperous New Year.
