Entered at the riymouth Tost Office as secondclass matter. A.R.ZIMMKI:MAX.Eiitok and Pkoi'KIKTok. SUKSC'Itll'TIOX PIUCK. One Year $l)r Six Months 75. Will t m 13 1 the "little linancie Coin," is the question. Japan refuses to yield to the demands made by l'ussia, regarding the revising of the peace treaty between her and China. Kansas has commenced her annual harvest by the cyclone route. Six killed and a large number wounded near Ilalstead, is reported for Wednesday. It is always best to watch the man who is everlastingly defaming his neighbors. There is plenty of truth in the proverb: "Thief always cries thief Urst." Accokdim; to the (ios.ien Democrat there is a possibility of another Uepublican Journal being started at Indianapolis, and if possible with Ex-President Harrison at the helm. EinToi: JIkooke and drover Cleveland, are both out with announcements, stating how pleased they are at the position taken by the Times-IIerald. We wonder if Urooke is going back to his first love. Tin: new book known as "Coin's Financial Fool," issued by the desperate single standard advocates, will do more to convince the intelligent people of the falseness of their position, than any argument yet produced. Tin: indications are that there will be a deikit at the end of the otlicial year of about 1h,000. This is surely encouraging to the present democratic administration. Is that what thev call "tariff for revenue onlvV" The people as a rule, may not be able to answer the great lliglit of retoric utilized by our single standard friends, but thev do know there is something radicallv wrong with the countrv and its financial policy. The tariff scheme will not work this time. Kansas republicans at a meeting of the State league, voted unanimously for the free coinage of American silver. Senator I laker in an address at this gathering brought forth enthusiastic applause when he said: "We must not place either metal, silver or gold above the other." Tiieke appeared in the Chicago Kecord of Tuesday, an article by W. II. Harvey on the financial question. Every patriotic American should read this article carefully. Truth will prevail, and this subject of vital importants to the American people cannot bo smothered by heory or the tariff. Postmasteu Hessing, of Chicago, says, there will not be a capitalist attend the democratic convention at Springtield June 5th. Of course not. It is not their "fish fry." The desire of that gathering is to get the voice of the people, and not of those who have piled up wealth, while the masses suffered the sting of poverty. Members of the Missouri legislature give their position as follows. In favor the free coinage of silver at the 10 to 1 ratio. In the Senate live republicans and seven democrats in favor, and four republican senators against. In the house of representatives, fourteen republicans and twenty-four democrats in favor, and fourteen republicans, two democrats and two populists against. The position taken by "Coin" in regard to the unit of value being fixed upon silver by the act of 17l2, which the single standard advocates have attempted to deny, has brought about a crisis. A bet made between two parties was left to Judge W. A. Vincent to decide, lieing an impartial and honest man he sent for the author of "Coin" asking him for his defense before giving a decision. The "little financier," informed the judge that owing to the interest taken in the matter by the public, a public debate before him would be the best way to settle it. A Mr. Zeisler, who represents the ' honest money league," objected, stating he saw no reason why tliis matter should be made public. "Coin" insisted and said: "We are willing to meet you at short range and test this whole matter and "Coin's" accuracy in the open light. I hereby challenge you and the Honest Money League to a public discussion before Judge Vincent, where we can get at each other and expose to the light of criticism all the authorities produced. This condition of affairs is hailed with delight by all honest and conscientious

citizens. The denunciations against Harvey have been bitter. Let those who have been so anxious to condemn his assertions now meet him, and prove him a falsifier. The outcome is looked forward to with deep interest.

JUST SO. The Inter Ocean reproduces an article published in the Tribune in the 70s, which gives an entirely different view upon the financial question in comparison to the one now advocated. It is interesting reading. Here it is: Illiopolis, 111., Feb. 1 Please answer the following questions: Suppose congress should pass a law remonitizing silver, and make it a legal tender for all debts, public and private, and receivable for duties on imports could we pay the principal or interest on our bonds in silver? or in other words, do our bonds read: "Payable in gold ?" or simply in coin"-' " James Kent. Answer None of the bonds call for payment, principal or interest, in gold. There is no mention of gold on the face of the bonds or in the acts of congress providing for their issue. The promise of payment was in "coin," which includes gold or silver, at the option of the government. It was so understood by the creditors, and all the "rest of mankind." at the time the bonds were sold. Indeed, the bondholders would have gladly stipulated for silver payment if they had the option of the metals, because the American silver dollar for main years before the war, and until Ibl'.i, when it was demonitized, was worth more than the gold dollar. One hundred silver dollars would buy from 101 to UY.i gold dollars for thirty or forty years before congress abolished the silver dollar. Gospel Temperance. The Gospel Temperence meetings being held under the auspices of the Womans Christian Temperance Union have been attended with marked interest. Mr. V. 15. Uennet the temperance evangelist is an able speaker and is consecrated lo his life work, elevating the standard of morals and saving souls. The Plymouth Tnion has engaged Mr. nennet with the "Nationals" who entertain their audiences with their lively soul stirring music, for the remainder of the week, holding evening meetings at the I'. 15. church. A delegation of representative men and women, of liourbon attended the meeting Tuesdav afternoon and evening and were so delighted they engaged them for next week and will drive over for them .Sunday afternoon, that they may hold a service Sunday evening. Arrangements are being made to enlertain'all of those who so far have not been able to hear these noted people upon the public square, Saturday night, at T.:iJ o'clock. Hvery one should, hear them without fail. It is an opportunity of a life time 15y order of Committee. K. II. 15 la in, President. Mi:s. A i kt, Secretary. LATE LITERARY NEWS. I'lHlyanl Kilinc To i:-turti 'To India. Kudyarn Kipling will shortly return to India where he will prepare, for the Cosmopolitan, twelve articles to appear in the American and English editions of that magazine. India is one of the most interesting of countries, and Mr. Kipling is able to write of it as no one else. His work will be looked forward to with world-wide expectation. Perhaps the most beautiful series of pictures ever presented of the ltocky mountains will be found in a collection of fourteen original paintings, executed by Thomas Moran for the May Cosmopolitan. To those who have been in the Rockies, this issue of the Cosmopolitan will be a souvenir worthy of preservation. This number contains fifty-two original drawings, by Thomas Morgan, Oliver Hertord, Dan Beard, II. M. Eaton, E. G. Attwood, F. O. Small, F Lix, J. II. Dolph, and liosina Emmett Sherwood, besides six reproductions of famous recent works of art, and forty other interesting illustrations ninetyeight in all. Though the Cosmopolitan sells for but fifteen cents, probably no magazine in the world will present for May so great a number of illustrations specially designed for its pages by famous illustrators. The fiction in this number is by F. Hopkinson Smith, Gustav Kobbe, W. Clark Russell, Edgar W. Nye, and T. C. Crawford. Hate not. It is not worth your while. Your life is not long enough to make it pay to cherish ill-will or hard thoughts. What if this man has cheated you, or that man has played you false? What if your friend has forsaken you in time ot need, or that one, having won your utmost confidence, your warmest love, has concluded that he prefers to consider and treat you as a stranger. Let it all pass. What difference will it make to you in a few years, when you go to the undiscovered country V A few more smiles, a few more pleasures, much pain a little longer hurrying and worrying through the world, some hasty greeting, abrupt farewell, and our play will be "played out," the injured will be laid away, and, ere long, forgotten. Is it worthy to hate each other? Home Seeker's Excursion to Michigan Points via Vandalia Line.

If you start or report a bad story to any one, you are doing a damage that no repentance or shame on your part can ever undo. Whisper a slander to your best friend, and though you stand on a hill the next day and proclaim with a loud voice that it is not so, you cannot call the bad story back. If you have no pity for those who do wrong, have a little self respect for yourself, and don't gossip about them. In the majority of cases they are as innocent as you 'are, but some evil-minded person started a bad report that found believers.
