AN HONEST ASD BRAVE DECLARA-
TION.
We ha?f a democratic administration,
president, senate and hsnse of repre-
sentatives. If th? first act of that ad-
ministration be demonetisation of ail-
ver, then good-bye democracy: it has
lived only too long.—Mckiaaey Ea-
qnirer.

The Hesperian copies from
the Houston Post an article
against U. M. Browder. It
calls him a "republican wolf."
But the Macomb, II!., Daily
Journal, Republican, says that
while Browder was in the north
he roused hot shot into the re-
publican party. Who knows
best, the editor of the Daily
Journal or tho Heeperian, Post
and Company? It is slander to
call Browder a republican and
it is done for no other purpose
than to create prejudice against
Browder of wh^m the demo-
crats are afraid in fair debate.
