"They ought to hang the scoundrel.
He was examined at length by Captain

,PARKERspyRe, W. Va, June 7.-The
Episcopal Council for the diocese of
West Virginia adjourned yesterday after
a four DAYS session. The first business

Committee on Constitution and Canon.
Part Of the report was very interesting,
and provoked a lengthy and interesting
discussion. 1t provided for an equal
representation OF parishes and missions
giving all delegates vote. This re-
bort was adopted and sent for final ac-
ton to the next council when, If passed,
it will become law.
The balance OF the morninewas taken
UP with routine business and passing
resolutions OF various kinds.
The Committees on Theological and
Educational Work made report show
ing that the students in the last year
had accomplished good work. The re-
port also stated that more money was
needed.
The following Committee on Theolog-
ical and Educational Work was ap-
pointed for the ensuing year:
Rev. r, D. Roller, Rev. 7. Fl. Lacy, D.

HOW TO GETTHEM.

If you want new customers,
ask for them.
There are hundreds of people
living within a mile Of your
store that don't know there is
such place, and they'll con-
tinue to be ignorant on the sub
jet unless you take steps to
inform them. Some of US are
too apt to think that "every-
body knows u.s."
Now, thu line of thought isa
mighty bad one for business
men. If they permit them
selves obe deceived byit, they
are pretty sure to ''get left"
Seek publicity. Keep your
name and your stores location
constantly. before the people.
Use the newspapers-there's
nothing like it.

Turned and looked back with longing rest
full gaze,
And saw the frost spirits, in their work of
death.
Despoil the fruits of all her golden days.
But blithe Octobers pencil moved among
The leaves and branches labyrinthic maze.
And touched the sumac with a crimson flame.
And swept the mountains with purple
haze.
Pleasant, in truth, 1t looked-and Summer

And blew kiss toward her one time home
Then, laughing as happy little child.
She called her birds around her, and was

In his speech at New York last Thurs.
day night Mr.. Mills said:

In his speech at New York last Thurs
day night Mr.. Mills said:
"We must absolutely get together upon
the great tariff question, on which the par
ty is united in sentiment. One great thing
at time. All other questions should be
put aside until relief along the line is Sec
ured. To force the silver issue is to divide
the party and force defsst. Though per-
sonal advocate Of free silver, see, as I
stated in my Mansfield speech, that free
coinage would give us barely eight or ten
millions of circulation more than we have
now. No one could get one dollar of that
silver without working for it. A revision
of the tariff to revenue basis will, at q
fair estimate, save 81 900. 900, 900 year in
the homes of America to consumers of S.
900, 600. 900 worth of manufactured pro
ducts with no effort but enough democratic
votes. The silver question is Of minor
moment beside the tariff question"
Now, this is the way says the Alex. Co.
sette all democrats should talk until after
the next Presidential election. Tha party
is divided on the silver, but united on the
tariff question. In order to succeed it must
preserve its unity and let every thing that
tends TO disturb that quality rest until its
main object be achieved.

Tried Long Ago and Found Disastrous.

Every now and then we find some anc'en'
history which shows that the new or ap
parently new agitation about sub IfeaS'
ury scheme for the relief of the agricultural
interests, free coinage of silver, or some
other d5vice, is not without a historical
parallel. Directly to the point is an inter-
esting contribution given in a speech Oh
Governor Jones, of Alabama, the other
dsy against the sub Treasury bill. 1t is re-
produced by the Evening Post, OF New
York, in about the following words and
substance. We give it for the benefit OF
whom it may concern. 1t is interesting Is
pointing a moral, if not as adorning tale:
A little more than half a century ago
Alabama INDUCED in the experiment OF
Government loans to private citizens. Dur
State should come to the rescue of the dis
tressed became so urgent that the Legisla-
ture was convened 10 special session. The
sub. treasury fanatics had their own way,
aud, in obedience to the bill that they pass
ed, bonds to the amount of IS, 900 900 were
issued. These bonds were sold at par.
| The money thus obtained was placed in The
| banks throughout the State and doled out
as the law required. The loans were az
portioned among the several counties &C.
| cording to population; they bore per cent.
interest. and were secured by 1.-TWO good
and sufficient sureties," and if required, by
ga deed of trust on real estate and slaves,
and, finally, it was not permitted to any
person to borrow more than $4,000. Gov
ernor Jones says the plan was carried out
under the direction of men of ability and
honesty. But instead of being a success,
or even partial success, it was complete
and stupendous failure. The people thai
looked to it as a happy escape from the
disastrous effects of the panic, found them
selves in worse position than ever. The
collapse of the banks that coon occurred
not only added to their distress, but led tt
expensive litigation and to the loss Of sew
eral trust funds belonging to the State. Al
the net result of this experience in Alliance
financiering, Alabama is called upon every
year to provide $500. 1000 interest on thu
bonds issued in 1887, the rate having beer
cot down to per cent. in 1876, and over
$162, 600 interest On the trust funds tha
were swallowed up by the failure, or an sg
gregate OF $500. 900. In other words. th'
people of the State are paying penalt.

A ToAD's LONG AND MONoToNGUs LIFE
While large fre-log was being sawed
at the West Shore Mills yesterday after
noon, Tom Trullinger noticed something
very sing liar. The outside slab and one
board had been cut off, aud the men wsre
turning the log over preparatory to squar-
ing it, when they were surprised to see
large toad poke his head out of hole,
where he was embedded and where he hal
barely escaped being cut up by the saw
He was completely encased in the wooi,
with no possible means of ingress or egress.
AS the log was the third up from the butt
of the tree, his position must have been
about sixty feet from the ground. There
is but one way Of accounting for the fact
that he was found 10 the position named.
He had giown up with the tree from in
fancy, and was probably hundreds of years
old when the saw awoke him from his long
nap.-Astorian.
