sive. He also has personal pull

has the hysique OF a young man
Just starting into life. Indeed, as
true friend of James, we wish he
had learned how TO add. Col. j. IS
perfectly familiar with subtraction
and multiplication, but in addl-
tion-the first table-he seems to
be wholly deficient. Note 1t this
wise: Col. j says the debt has
increased SIX MILLIONS under that
Riddleberger bill. we can i'm
agine how those diamond eyes
clittered as he enunciated that
SIX MILLIONS. But Col. James
does not stop to say that we have
lived ten years, and If you reopen
the debt thirteen millions must be
added at once.
Any young girl who accepts
Col. James mus: understand that
she has to teach him to add.

WHO DID THIS
Excitement in Shenandoah,

Especial Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
WOODSTOCK, Va, Oct. IS
Quite q breeze was created in the
Democratic circles here today by
the discovery that an agent was
gong through the county soliciting
wOrkmen for railroad in
Southwest Virginia and offering to
pay their fare If they would 90 this
week and thelnterest taken IN assist
ing 10 find the men by the Malone
Republicans. So tar as can be
learned the list consists of oyer
fifty and includes representatives
of both parties. The Malone lead.
ers are jnbllant over the receipt of
$4,000 Saturday, and are Offering to
bet heavily on Shenandoah county,
with prompt takers.
We expect the author OF tins will
remain as unknown az Junius.
There is no truth in it. 1t was EVIL
IDENTITY gotten up to turn Tray,
Blanche and Sweetheart loose on
Albert. But we will not strike a
man when he's broke. The only
foundation for this report is that
one man did, in our presence, pay
IS cents to his laundry maid.

THE SUPREME COURT

OF the United States again adj
iOurned the last phase of the
coupon over by a vote of four to
four. 1t Is a question so delicate
and involves so much, that even
these learned jurists ask to have
the successor of the late Justice
Matthews on the Court.
Think, now. OF Gen. Mahone's
temerity, we ought to call it impu'
dence, in asking the people to re-
open the debt question, on a naked
promise that if 81 don't settle it |
will resign" "Fools rush in where
angels fear to tread' is a quotation
never more aptly illustrated.
OF course, If the debt question
is reopeuOd, Gen. Malone, or any
body else, can settle it. 1t settles
itself right back to the original tax
receivable coupon. Then the Gen.
eral will not resign.

and his selfrespect as TO JON hands
with the interruptions, sOulless
vandals, who have despoiled our
