Mr. Reagan is eminently correct
when he asserts the Domojraoy of
Texas would prove recreant to their

in power by Democratic votes.

It is understood Hon. Seth Mills
will allow his name to go before tho
primaries for roolection to the
legislature. That he will be re.
turned goes without saying for he
has mad i 1 record as our represen-
tative of which the whole county is
proud. Mr. Mills has not been seen
with referonce to his candidaoy
but it is safe to say he will bo a
candidate and that he will be
elected. '"
Onn of the ablest defenses Mhloh
has so fir been made of Col.
Breckinridge is notiood in tha Bpui-
bon News a piper published at
Paris Ky. After contrasting ihe
lives of the two principals in the
suit it closes with the following ter-
rible arraignment of the plaintiff:
"Take noiv the character of t lis
woman a3 portrayed in this caie
trained in the very school of fa'se-
hood and deceit until lyinc has ba-
come as natural as breathing an!
add to this that worst of all huum
motives malhc revenge hale and
you have taken from her every righ;
to expect tint any honest person
should give the least credit to the
most solemn oath she could make.
And therefore by every fair inter-
pretation of testimony whenever
her statement conflicts with Mr.
Breckinridge's and a question of
veracity is made betwoen them Bhe
is not the one tha: ought to be
believed
'When it comes to a question of
aiding su jh a woman to smirch and
destroy one of the ablest and most
useful nifan in the nation those who
choose to iis.-ht her may do so but
we shall not cease to enter our
strongest and m st earnest prjteat."
Tne pub'i-j in making up its final
vtrJici on the eae will bo very apt
to credit Mr Breckinridge on the
ba'a'ice shett with all the gcod he
Ins done while from tho plaintiff's
own story the good will be found
wanting in her end of the scaies.
Extracts From Reasran's Letter
Silver was demonetized by a Re-
pub'cin congress in 1873. When
the Democrats obtained a majority
in the house of representatives in
l?7u 0 that parly commeccad the
struggle to restore silver to its
proper place a a part of tho stand-
ard money ot tho country. Many test
votes were taken on this question
in the sonato and house of represen-
tatives from that time up to the time
the volewas taken on the repeal. of the
purclnsing clause of what was call
ed the buermau law in 1SIKS And
on evary such vote the great body
of tho Democratic members were
for and the great body of Repub-
lican mem'iers were against the frea
and unlimited coinage of silver.
The Democratic conventions state
and national were for the free coin-
age of silver. Democratic news-
papers and speakers and people
generally were for the free coinage
of silver. Republican newspapsrs
and speakers and people gen-
erally were opposed to the
free coinaae of silver. So
that this became and was a party
question. The Republican adminis-
trationswhioh preceded and.followed
Mr. Cleveland's fust term as presi-
dent nullified the bw whioh made
silver a lawful tender for public
debts and refused to redeem silver
certificates with silvar dollars as pro-
v.ded for by law using gold for that
purpose as a means of aiding in the
degradation of silver. In Mr. Cleve-
land's first term as president he re-
pudiated the policy of the Demo-
cratic party as to the coinage of
silver and on financial questions and
adopted the pohoy and practices of
the Republican party; and thus did
more than any Republican presi-
dent could havo done to degrade
silver because by adopting this
course he added the weight of a
Djmocratic administration to that
of the Republican administration.
Mr. Clevulaud was elected tho
second time on the tariff qiestion.
His national executive committee
urged Democrats throughout tho
country to make that tho issue and
to avoid a discussion of tho questions
of coinage and finance. After be-
ing eleeted on that issua he called
congress together not to consider
the tariff question but to complete
the war on silver as standard money
and to secure tho adoption of the
single gold Btandird when he knew
as all others knejy that a large
majority of the men who eleoted
him were in faror of the
free coinage of silver. He
also has nullified the lav
which makes the publio debt pay-
able in silver as well as in gold
coin; and he like the Republicans
refuses to allow the redemption of
silver certificates with silver dol-
lars as provided for by law. and re.
quires that they shall be redeemed
with gold coin. He thus accom- j
plishes the double result of degrad. '
ing silver by refusing to exooute the '
law and by limiting its use and of
enabling speculators in money to
driw tho gold out of tha United
States treasury and transfer it to
foreign oountries. And. in viola-
tion and disregard of the expressed
wish of the people of all politic il
parties in this country he has
caused the issuance and sale
of bonds to the amount of fifty
million dollars with whi h to pur-
chase gold in a lime of profound
peace under a doubtful authority
to sabservo tho intersts of specula-
tors in gold national bankers and
bondholder.' and in disregard and
defiance of all tho industrial inter-
ests of the country; when fifty-five
million dollars in silver bullion was
lying idle in the treasury which
should have been utilized to enlarge
tho volume of currency and to par.
tially stay the tide of bankruptcy.
And when the two houses of con-
gress passed a bill to use that silver
for that purpose Mr. Cleveland in-
terposed his veto to prevent its bo-
coming a law and fctill further
showed his agreement with Uo Re-
publicans by taking sides with sev-
enty-uine Republ caus and
fifty Democrats mostly from
the East and ajainst one
hundred and forty-one Democrats
nineteen R 'publicans aud eight
Populists in the house of represen-
tatives and witli the twenty one
Republicans and ten Deiuocrits in
the senate and against the thirty
Democrats eleven Republicans aud
three Populists in the senate.
Twenty-five of the Democrats who
voted for this bill wero trom the
southern states with only three
southern senators voting against it.
Both of our senators and all of our
thirteen representatives in congress
voted for the b 11 which piovided
for the coinage of the silver bulliju
in the treasury. An indorsement of
the president's veto of that bill
would be a condemnation of tho
votes of our senators and represen-
tatives. .
Those in this state who are seek-
ing to lull the people to a sense of
false security on tho questions of
coinage and currency ate telling
them that they should confine their
consideration to questions of state
policy and leave to congress the
settlement of all national questions.
If our interests as a people were not
to be affected by action on these
questions. 3iioh advice might be ac-
cepted. But no questions affect more
vitality all the interests of our peo-
ple than these. Next Novembor
we are to elect thirteen members of
congress who are to represent us on
these q lestions. At the same time
we are to eleot members of tho leg-
islature who are to elect a United
Siates senator to represent us on
these questions. V we should ac
cept the advice to ignore these ques-
tions this would simply be a sur-
lender of our people to the money
class whioh is nojv doing so much
to sacritije the interests ol tho peo-
ple. We owe it to ourselves to make
this issue in all our primaries and
conventions so that no one shall
misunderstand onr demands or
hereafter misrepresent our interests.
If we would be faithful to our
country we can not afford to deceive
ourselves or to be deceived on these
questions.

A Narrow Escape.
"The closest shave I ever heard
of" remarked Capt. G L. Morten
an ex army officer a few day ago
"was one I witnessed during the late
wir. It was during the heat of one
of the most fearful conflicts wo had.
onoi ana shells were flying around
us like hail and it was almost cer-
tain daath for a man to expose his
body from behind the fortifications
where we were stationed. The
enemy was gaining upon us and it
became evident that unless wo re-
ceived reinforcements the day would
be lost. Our commanding oflijer
called for a volunteer to ride about
Beven miles to where another part
of our regiment was stationed to
notify them of our condition. The
errand was a most perilous one but
a young private Btepped from the
rank3 and said he would take the
risk. He accordingly Btarted out
mounted on the G .moral's horse.
He had scarcely piooeeded a dozen
yards when a 21 pound shell struck
the horse fairly in the chest. The
animal Btood rigid for a moment and
then disappeared. The shell had
exploded in the horse and blown it
into a thousand fragments. The
most remarkable thing about it was
that the soldier was not hurt in . the
leait. He was merely blown into
the air and drenched with blood
coming out with only a few scratch-
es." Exchange.

Eggs In Cold Storage.
A great deal has been sud ana
written on the subj jet of preserving
perishable goods of all kinds in
