Dalia$ Transcript. THS JfsHoa County Dmocrut says that "a newspaper that Is afraid to speak its) sentiments because of a fear of losing a little patronage, is aos worthy the name." That is our epiniea; cowardice is and a sua who is afraid to speak his opinion is a purchasable oom odlty. Is another oolama will be found an ertiele of the law phase on the baraing of the steamer Young. We would say in this connection that the Dove brothers, Edward, David, and Bethnel Dove, are in no wise connected with the unfor tunate affair, and these men are gentlemen above reproach, and cit tens of good standing in oar com inanity. They deeply regret the occurrence and the connection their brother John had with the affair. "OoBPORiL" Tanneb says that the rebels got his legs, snd we say that a Republican took off his head, aad what is now Tanner's condi tion! He is simply a dead duck His legs and head both gone, and he is now making speeches for .Weaver. The Peoples party has noose for Tanner. Harrison turned Tanner oat, because he was a pen sion fraud, and those are the kind of bills Cleveland vetoed when he wasipresident. Harrison and Clevc land, la this particular, like in fishing, are alike. Thb lair at Independence begins September 20 to continue four days, If it is to consist principally ol atrricnltnral and mechanical prod acta and other such things as are and will be a benefit to the communis and country we wish it unlimited snooaas, but if it is to be mainly a demoralising horse trot, with a audi afrricultaral appendage, the fewer that attend the better it will be.

Benin Leader, A FEW PLAIN WORDS. We supposed that our editorial note in the Wwt Sidb last week would be sufficient to convince any reasonable man or woman that we eertainlyhad not the slightest ill will toward Monmouth or any of her enterprises. The fact is we have always rejoiced in Monmouth's pros perity, and would be foolish If we did not. Noons can gainsay the fact, that for the last ten or fifteen years we have worked "tooth and toenail" for the school at Mon mouth. The people oflndepeud- up the school hitertwta there. Yet it has been noticeable for the hwt year or two, that there bus becu m element in MonmouUi that hits not reciprocated m heartily as the merits of the facts would demand. Week before last the Wkst Bids IncidonUlly copying Mr. Rarree's scathing valedictory, or rather his autobiographical obituary, said, that a newspaper of any preten tions could not survive in Mon mouth. We said this from a buM ness standpoint wholly, aud not from a selfish ouc, for the .Wkst Sidk's patronage has always been just as good when there was a paper In Monmouth, as when, there was none. A newspaper, to live In any small town for any length of time, must be ulmldlMd. The West Sims was subsidised for years In Independence, and has been able only for the last few years to stand alone financially, aud to toll the truth, there are not "lullllous in it" now. Now when we made a simple statement of facts, some of our Monmouth people flew luto a rage, aud created such a "tem pest In a teapot," that we almost despaired of getting out another issue of the West Side. They traduced and abused us, they ma ligned and boycotted us, the lmt of which is a criminal offence, they went from one to another to get them to stop the paper, they told alt kinds of tales about us, and Raid that,, "the Wkut Side and the Inde pendence people never lost a chance to give Monmouth a sHot.'.-. And they also said that we tried to draw biwliiwa from Monmouth during the district institute liwt March, by giving, very actively, motor tickets free to take people to aud from Independence to the institute. Now forlieamnce ceases to be a virtue junt here, and we say that my man or woman that tells or peddles such statements as the Above, utters knowingly falsehood .is black as night and no one but nn u multigated fraud will do it. Further, we will give 100 lu gold to any man or woman iu Monmouth or elsewhere, that will show one - scintilla of fact or one line ever printed in the WemtSibk under its present management which was in the least derogatory to Monmouth. We feel it our dut y to defend ourselves from the mali cious attacks of boycotters and defamers. The citUeua of Inde pendence during that institute put ten dollars in Monmouth to ten cents that the people of Monmouth put into Independence. The motor company generously donated 1000 or more tickets to help the work along. President Campbell, Prof essor Powell, aud Muss Maggie Butler, who were on the committee know the above charge is fulm. The institute was to have been held at Independent;, but at the earnest solicitations of President Campbell it was changed to Mon mouth without one dissenting voice from Independence. No such a thought ever entered our brain tlmn, nor of any one In Monmouth,exncpt it might hare entered into a thimble ful of pulp, which Borne people have, instead of brains. The Wkht side is the only paper that ever did give careful and current notices of the State Normal school, and ever since we took charge, we have expended from f'2,50 to f 10,00 per sreek to chrouiclo the prosperity of that growing town, This is not the first time we have len "snubbed," but it is about the lust time that such a thing cau take place unnoticed. The people of Independence are about ready to call a halt, until repairs are made. This may lm realized further along the line. Personally e put $100 into Monmouth hwt fear, and expect to spend twice that amount there this coming year, and the thanks we get is "boy cotthlm, boycott him." , Tho in- grate is tlio most despicable person on earth, and while we know that sentiments of good morals prevail In Monmouth,and just such a spirit as should environ the young ladies and gentlemen who come there from all points of tho compass to receive an education; yet we do know that there are a few who live In Monmouth that ought to bo expelled from that society as a healthy body expells all poisonous excrescences from itself, up to date, there are three prominont(t) people who have boycotted our paper, and in the same time we have doubled over and over again that number in' new. subscribers, as our books show. We propose to stand by the great school interests at Monmouth and all of its enter prises, notwithstanding it has a few bigots and ingratos, as all towns do in any country. We would say in concluding our remarks for this week, that the threats that have coino to us ao not custom our repoBe, and you will find us as serene as a summer's morn. Now we have said nothing but what was true, and challenge successful con tradiction.
