sown their ballots in rich trust soil and
we are now reaping a large harvest of
trusts, and the main query now is w!.at
shall be done about it. If the republi
can party can construct a machine
which will as successfully thresh, the
trust crop as the one used in producing
it. it will be able to perform all kinds of
miracles in the near future. It is bo-
jlieved, however, by some very good
intelligent men, that if confidence can
be fully restored in Mark Hanna,
everything will come out all right.

Some people seem surprised to
find that a paper opposed to the .purty
of corruption and trusts can live with
out receiving financial support from
some source other than from legitimate
business, but the Courier-Herald is a
living example of such, and will always
be found advocating reforms for the
common people and giving all the local
and county news possible and it circu
lates purely on its merits.

The Ooukikr-Hrkald has put no ac

attempted to collect some of his back

errors occur we are ever ready to correct
them.
We often hear men talking about
"sound money" and saying that this
country " must have a money that is
good in Ew-rope," who would not know
a ten dollar gold piece from a dog tag.
Let no "imperialism" or "embalmed
beef", draw your atlention away from

We predict that more than nineiv per
cent of tbo delegates to the next nation

We l ave known merchants who
' allowed their partisan views to so far
outweigh common sense as to refuse to
advertise in papers that do not pander
to their political views. Now suppose
the customers of such merchants should
practice the same nairow contracted
cours" how would the merchant feel
about that?
The Missouri house has ordered a bill
engrossed which provides for the sub
mission to the voters in 1900, of an
amenimunt to the constitution, provid
ing for legislation by the Initiative and
Referendum. This is a process by wlrch
tho legislature must, on the petition of
4 per cent of tho qualified voters of the
Btate, order a incisure submitted to a
vote of tho people and if it reteivca a
majority it becomes a law.

at. the same time state officers are voted

The statistics for the year 1893 will re
veal a startling state of affairs in. fact
will knock the props completely from
under the fanatical temperance lecturer
ers who have in the past claimed th it
alcoholism was the cause of more deaths
than siiy other plague. But the statis
tics of 1808 will refute this id ;aand place
Algetism in the lead as a destroyer of
human life. For absolute proof look at
the record during tho late war with
Spain! The number of men killed in
battle in the army was only 239 and
those who died from wounds was 125.
But the .number that succumbed to Al
gorism while in camp, was 5,277 1
Now who is responsible for Alger?

It soema as t!iou'li tho "while man's
burden" was, of late, being guaged as
to what ho is fool enough to stand. --In
the closing days of the last congress, the
gold buzzards who were in control and
who had already plundered tho people
of the United States into bankruptcy;
just to show their growing insolence and
defiance of decency, honesty, economy,
or ability to avoid stealing, voted a liMlo
purse of three million dollars of the peo

S.'tna people think it is woefully
wrong to criticize such august bodies
as the hatch of old grafting grannies
that are called tho Supreme Court. But
when it takes these hoboes from two to
five years to render a de isiou i n a case
that my school boy could decide in ten
minutes and decide right, it is high
time such deniatrnues and t'immers
were severely criticized and denounced.
The 1-uv declares a crtaiti act a crime ;
yet our supreme court .ill ponder over
the matter for years, especially when
some sleek political parasite of their
stripe is charged with such a crime. It
is about time for the people who pay
the freight to come to the conclusion
that our mpreme court, as at, present
constituted, h a supreme fraud, a use

We sometimes wonder if (here is still
an intelligent working man in the land
that is so blinded bv partisanship as to
yet believe the hirelings of plntocrasy,
when they, in their stump speeches and
in their gold plated press, tell the work
men how they love them and because
of this great anxiety fur the welfare of
the laborer thev do not want them swin
dled by having the stipend they get for
their labor, paid them in silver! Is it
possible for an intelligent man to believe
such tommyrot? It 'an only -be the
blindly partisan and the grossly ignorant
that swallow such gush. The idea of a

would belter their condition, American
workingmen must disillusionize them

The Enterprise in its last issue feebly
denied that it furnished large lots of
unnecessary blunks for the court
house. We admit it has not fur
nished many of late, because it "load
ed" up every case in the office with
blanks several years ago and they have
not been emptied yet, and some will not
be for years to come. Some of the blanks
printed by tho Enterprise four or five
yean- ago ar still there, others are but
little used, and the amount of old blanks
on hand that are worthless and that
were printed when republicans were in
power is a caution. We know the pres
ent publisher of the Enterprise does not
know much about the prir.ting business
and is not responsible for his absurd
statements. Asa politician, lawyer and
real estate promoter he's all right, and
will no doubt soon shine in the newspa
per business.
A press dispatch from New York city
of recent date states that "tbo Board of
Health of the city is engaged in
an examination of the 'sweat
shops.' Thus far of 300 tenement house
sweatshops examined 29 have been
found in such bad sanilary condition
that the board has been asked to order
radical alterations. In the Italian
quarter the inspector found men, women
and children working from 5 :30 in the
morning to 11 :30 at night, and the high
est wages received was 45 cents a day."
Now pause and ponder over the pros
perity of these poor people under the
benificent teign of Mr. Hanna's advance
agent. Then pause again and consider
how loyal Mr Hanna's administration
is to the wo: king in n and women of
tli is country, as many of the contractors
who furnish the el thing for our soldiers
have 'he work done in these disease
breeding sweatshops, or by Chinamen,
in or ler to satiate their appetites for
greed.
If oiir public officials weio chosen
more from the producing clas-es, instead
of, as is now almost unanimously the
case, from the ranks of the drones and
political trimmers, who have no sympa
thy fur labor or laborers, much of the
evils of government would be overcome.
Most of our public officials, especially
tho e who "msnufneture laws" are
chosen frm the ranks of the truckling
tools of plutocracy hence they have no
sympathy for, or owe no allegiance to,
the producing classes who elect them.
Whose fault is this? Clearly it is the
voters who are to blame but it is a Bad
confession to have to make, that "the
people" won't vote for one of their own
number, because he is generally too poor
to "blow himself" for bust-head booze
during the campaign , This order should
be reversed at once. Let it bo done in
f iture campaigns ami note the benefi
ciary results.
Weekly Crop Bulletin.
Crops. The condition of fall and
winter sown grain is fair. In some lo
calities the grain was frozen out in Feb
iuary; in others, seeding was delayed by
one cause or another, and the soil is not
now in condition to be worked, it being
too wet. With a lew weeks of fair
weather dU'ing the current month the
usual average will be Bovvn. The grain
not injured (and the amount injured in
comparison with the total is very small)
isinamost promising condition. The
cool weather retards growth, but assists
in stooliug, so that la'er the stand will
be excellent. As a whole, the grain
crop iB in lair to good condition.
In the Willeniette Valley fruit bloom
has commenced, but it will not be gen
eral for a week or more. Fruit trees in
this valley, where planted in wet soil,
were killed by the February freeze. The
damage was not so great as was at first
anticipated. . Many trees that were sup
posed to be iniured are now showing
life, and while the crop this year may
be reouced, the trees will live. The in
jury will not have a material effect upon
the total fruit crop ; it Is confined almost
entirely to prunes and plumu, and in 'a
few lo :alitii s to p eaches.
Garden making and spring work are
delayed. Onions, radishes, peas, and
other early vegetables have bi en planted
but general garden work will not com
mence until the Boil becomes warmer
Strawberiies are making slow growth
and no blossoms are yet repot ted. Rapp
berriee, goosberries and currants are in
leaf.
Lambing is irt progress and no loss re
ported. Stock wintered well and is now
in good condition. Grass is making
slow growth. A late season is alwavs
discouraging, but it is not ' always
a detriment to the quantity or quality
of the crop to be harvested. While other
seasons have usually been more auspi
cioua at the current date, Iheie is no
thing in the many reports received to
cause any anxiety or alarm.

lU'DOLPii Kokbskr, he who thinks he
is, came out in last week's Enterprise
with a letter jumping onto the editor of
the Covkikr Hehai.i) f..r publishing an
article criticizing him while acting in a
public capacity. Mr. Koerner can rest
assured that we will not hesitate to crit
icize him or any other public official if
we 1 1) ink he is not doing right. Mr.
Koerner it mistaken when he states we
have any ill feeling toward him, as we
pride ourselves on the fact that we bear
malice toward none, much less a man
who thinks he i head and shoulders
above his fellow-men because he is a
straw boss in a corporation mill. He
goes on to say that this paper was in
strumental in defeating him last fall for
mayor. If we did we are proud of the
fact that we did what we could to elect a
man that is not narrow minded and
does not let personal spite interfere with
public affairs. We thank you, Mr.
Koerner, for the compliment. He also
claims he was instrumental, while chair
man of the finance committee, in throw
ing the bid of this paper, which was
lower, out, because he did not like us,
and giving the job to a small organ that
gave him "taffy" through its columns,
and that we feel sore over it. We still
claim Mr. Koerner was wrong, but as to
feeling sore, we had not the least thought
of such a thing. Mr. Koerner Beems to
think a man is not worth mentioning
unless ho belongs to the party of trusts
and combinesand can be "voted" as the
bosses witdi.
