In a recent epeclt at Philadelphia Congressman Champ Clark, of Missouri, said: “The free traders know that they have the truth on their side, and they will keep up tarilF agitation in this country until absolute free trade is established and the people are free indeed."

The Ion* cold spell is taking plenty of wood and feed A few weeks hack people were thinking of sugar making, bat have changed their notion now Dr. Frank Jeter and
wife, of Haughville, visited Assessor elect Keeves last week D. 1). Skel-
1t is reported that there is a ma jority often in favor of silver coinage, in the U. 8 Senate.
Only three weeks more of this session of Congress and then the Republicans will take a hand. The word now is that the effete East is not even in the lead in nasli jiess —Dr. Parkhurst says Chicago is as had as New York City. Great Chicago! Poor old New York City.
In a recent interview Henry Wat lerson says that there will be five presidential candidates in the field in 189G, and that the Republicans will not have a walk over; in fact possibility is that they will be walked over.
It is nip and tuck now, between the Alger boom and the Harrison boom ; McKinley's boom has degen erated into a boumlet, and Czar Reed’s boootn has become so large that it is unmanageable and will collapse before the convention is held. Sherman keeps still, hut he is sawing wood.
The conservative sentiment of the country demands that all paper currency be made redeemable in coin, the coin to consist of both gold and silver, and the person redeeming shall elect whether gold or silver be used in redemption.
The Republicans in the Legislature are seeking for ways and means to kill the Nicholson local option bill without being caught in the act. It is to be amended to death, smothered to death, or knocked out by direct vote by the Republicans, without doubt. Time will prove this prediction true. ^ The fellows who prate about the
Democratic party’ being a hard money party from the days of Jefferson tell only half the truth when they limit this so-called hard money to gold coin. The truth is that the Democratic party has always favored the money of the constitution, which is both gold and silver.
The most frequently mentioned Illinois man named in connection with the Democratic nomination for President is Col. W. R. Morrison. In a recent interview he told wholesome truth as follows: “The Democratic parly is just as much alive as ever.

They can’t kill it It was born in eternal truth, founded upon the bedrock of the inople’s liberties and the true principles of honest and economical government. It has buried in oblivion many other political parties, and it will live to se3 the grass grow on many yet unborn. The Democratic party lives because it is the only genuine and sincere national party that this country has ever known, that is to say, in its broad principles are embodied the will of the people. 1 mean the common people, and not this latter day oligarchy of plutocrats that have al ready and further propose to enrich themselves through legislation.”
The breach of promise business has received fresh impetus because a woman secured judgment for $15,500 against her divorced husband some weeks ago, for breach of marriage promise. The facts were that they had been divorced ; after the divorce he courte-d her again, proposed marriage and was accepted, and then he refused to make good his second contract of marriage.
And now Brother Nicholson has prr pared and offered for adoption a Congressional apportionment bill which places Putnam in the Sixth Congressional District, composed of the counties named below, and we give therewith the vote cast in 1890:

The Minnesota Republicans have demonstrated that they have had enough of Protection, which the same is simply robbery under the form o? law, and to make proof of this fact, they have defeated Washburn, the devoteo of McKinleyistn, for U. S. Senator, and elected Knute Nelson who is an avowed enemy of protection and a friend of the policy of a tariff for revenue only. When he was in Congress he voted for the Mills bill, and has steadfastly advocated tariff reform, and is the only man we know of promiment in public life, who poses as a tariff leformer and Republican.

Fiiemont, 0., Feb. 5.—Five masked men entered the town of Milan during the njght.andat 4 o’clock Monday morning blew open the vault in the Lix^kwood bank. The explosion was so great that It wrecked the buijding in which the IsinU was located and awakened the entire population. The citizens poured into the streets in time to see the thieves drive off in a buggy toward Sandusky, where two of them are reported under arrest. Dynamite Tsed. The safe and vaults were blown open by dynamite., making a complete wreck of them and the office. Vhey took some $15,000 in cash and $10,000 in government, Nickel Plato and Sandusky, Milan and Norwalk electric railway bonds. Exchanged Shota. Cashier L. L. Stoddard, who lives over the bank, was awakened by a heavy explosion, and instantly divined its source and meaning. Without waiting to don his clothing Mr. Stoddard rushed down stairs. At the front entrance of the bank he was confronted by three masked men, who followed an order for the cashier to halt by a volley from their revolvers. Nothing daunted by the odds against him Stoddard opened fire with his own gun. Several shots were exchanged, with no other effect than to arouse the sleeping citizens of the little town, and in ten minutes fifty tneu were in pursuit of the robbers, whi had been reinforced by two confederates who had escaped from the rear of the bank. On the outskirts of the town the burglars entered a livery carriage which they had in waiting and started towards Sandusky. The pursuers were left in the rear, but continued on their way to Sandusky, and on arriving there soon found and identified the horse ami bnggy hired by the robbers. Suspect* Captured. The police have arrested two men on the charge of being implicated in the robbery of the Milan bank. The buggy in which the robbers escaped to Sandusky was hired Sunday night from Herb & Hockes’ livery stable, by Edwin Stoughton, who runs a saloon on Water street. Stoughton was taken into custody soon after the Milan posse came to the city in hot pursuit of the robbers. In his company was Sol Ilirschberger, a young fellow who has been hanging around the gambling dens of the city for the past two years. Birschberger was also arrested.

Found Only After inn Death. Marshall, 111., Feb. C.—Henry Sims, a manufacturer of Hamilton, O., arrived in Marshall and, after investigation, claimed the body of the young man known as John A. Miller, who was accidentally drowned in an ice pond last Thursday. The boy disappeared from home in 1885, when but 11 years of age, and had been a wanderer ever since, although his father never relaxed the search for him.
Time will tell the story, but as a sort of prophetic flyer we assett that when the financial question is finally settled by Congrets eilver will be given a fair show and an equal chance with gold, in our monetary system, and the paper issued by hanks will he redeemable in coin—gold or silver — as the bank or banks may individually decide when their paper is pre *«nlad for redemption This wae the old way, it proved practicable, and after the money tinkering now in vogue ia au acknowledged failure, as it is sure to be, this old way

Memorial. Again the message of death has visited our neighborhood and plucked another jewel from earth to shine in a better world, ’ere its shining luster had been tarnished by the iniquity of a world of sin. Khoda Mary Gardner, daughter of I. E. and Martha I. Gardner, passed away from earth Sunday Feb. 3, leaving an aching void in the home which no earthly solace can restore. She was born April 17, 1894, and was the joy of her home, but that dread disease, bronctiitis, took her from her parents to live in a better world. But the bereaved parents can look forward to that great day whei. friends once parted shall meet to part no more. And may the family circle broken be again united to be parted no more. xx
