Awful Accident.

The cows evidently run at large at
Grafton, w. Va.
At least paper from out that way
reports the following thrilling local
item:
COW walked upon the frail covering over
the large cistern in Grafton, near the United
Brethren church, one night last week, when
the covering gave way under her weight and
she was plunged into lake of water ten feet
deep. The animal was rescued from her
perlous position with great deal of diff
ticulty.
In the absence of an Old Graveyard
committee the town council of Grafton
should abolish the COW as nocturnal
nomad.
Otherwise, compel the church to
fence IN it's bathroom.

What Writers to Newspapers Should

What Writers to Newspapers Should
Do.
Firstclass type written copy is hailed with
pleasure in newspaper and magazine offices,
but very little of it is tirst-class. 1t is pos
tive relief to get manuscript legibly writ
ten on white paper, in good black ink, with
pen that makes a broad stroke. The trouble
with many writer's is that they use a pen
with fine point and write hairline scrawl
that is hard to read. 1t is possible to make
written copy as plain as print and this is
what every writer should do.-Atlanta (Ga.)
Constitution
And among the things writer's for
newspapers should avoid is abbreuiation.
Every word should be fully as we'll
as "legibly written"
In other words, leave nothing for
the intelligent compositor to guess at.

Deliberately Correct.

The democratic papers of the rural
districts are having a hard time just
now with the Baltimore Sun.
The weeklies want to make out that
some great national issue is stake in
next falls State and county elections.
The Sun, on the other hand, cata-
logues almost a dozen local measures
which, in its very just judgment, de-
mand consideration and enactment by
the best Legislative talent the State
affords.
There is considerable method and
unanimity in the weeklies' alarm.
But the SUMS measurement of the
situation is accurate.
In short, the SIN is knowingly
right.

These Things Make Us Grateful.

The JOURNALS remarks on the COW
nuisance last week struck responsive
chords in Cumberland.
One of the ablest lawyers in the city
on Tuesday commended its course in
the heartiest and most complimentary
terms. His remarks ought to be
quoted in full, but editorial modesty
forbids.
The Ne,os of Monday reproduces the
JOURNAL s leader and prefaces it with
the following accurate and beautiful
paragraph:
The defeat, by the Council of Frostburg, of
an ordinance to prohibit cows from running
at large within the corporate limits of that
town, produced the following in the columns
Of Saturdays JOURNAL, the touching pathos
of which leads to the conclusion that the

Miser's Treasure Well Kept.

New YORK, March %. - The
death of Charles F. ChlcKering. the
piano MANUFACTURER, in New York
yesterday, recalls one of the most
remarkable incidents on record.
james Henry Paine, who died on
December 23, 1885, in the attic OF
No. III Blocker street, in New
York, was known as "Old Mlser
Paine" and some time had elapsed
after bis death before the fact was
revealed that, through his vast
fund of musical information and
consequent close acquaintance with
Mr. Chickering he had, late in the
sixties, contided to the keeping OF
the latter d very valuable package
of whose contents or their value
Mr.. Chickering knew nothing at
the time.
From his knowledge of the fact
that there was contest over Mr.
Palne's missing will Mr.. CHECKER.
lug was led to open the bundle be
had kept for twenty years in his
private safe for the old man, and tC
discover that it contained gold anC
silver dollars, bank notes by the
thousand, certificates of stock and
scrip amounting to over $4,000
altogether. All this Mr.. CHECKER
ing turned over to the duly accre
dIted heirs.

Big Warships and Coaline Sta
lions,

Discussion of the prospect of an
attack or this country by the heavy
ships of Italy, has brought to the
front again subject to which the
Alta has before referred. In a
general War the country that has
the most coaling stations d,stribut-
ed around the world will be the
best equipped for action. 1t is per-
fectly certain that for the lack of
coallng stations the ships of Italy
would never reach our coast. And
it is equally certain that they could
enter no Atlantic harbor. The
United States should not let 90
any coaling station in the Pacific,
for this ocean is to be the theatre
of interesting commercial and in
ternational events. Our stations
on Pearl River harbor. HawaiI,and
at PagO Page, in one of the Sa-
moan Islands, are of very great
Importance. When the Nicaragua
Canal is fin shed and it's neutrality
under control of this government,
these coaling stations will be of the
greatest Importance. If the need
of them is not impressive now. the
prospect ID sufficient to tighten the
grip by which we hold them

THE DAILY
ON THE 10th of April the new

On THE 10th of April the new
steamship Empress of India was to
have left Yokohama for Vancouver;
and on the 18th inst. the steamship
China left Yokohama for San Fran
cisco. These are both British built
ships. The latter has, we believe,
made the shortest passage on her
route, of thirteen days and some
hours, 1t is thought that the En-
press will break the record, and re-
duce the time at least one day on
her more northern route, which is
little shorter in distance than the
China's route. These two are prob
ably the fastest steamships now on
this ocean, and considerable inter-
est is directed to their present
efforts to break the record of short
passages. 1t is said that the
officers of the Empress have re-
ceived orders from her owners to
give their ship her best speed, re-
gardless of the cost of coal.
For the Atlantic trade it is
stated that a contract has been
made with Clyde ship-building
firm, to build two ships of $4,000
tons burthen, capable of crossing
that ocean in FIVE days. The best
passage yet made there is few
hours under six days. The four
fastest ships in the Atlantic trade
are the City of Paris, City of New
York, Teutonic and Majestic. the
last being the newest, and each OF
them is capable of crossing that
ocean in six days or less, under
favorable circumstances. The
tendency therefore is to keep on
increasing in size to gain increased
speed. Some of the best nautical
men think that the limit for size
and speed is about ten thousand
tons, but why that figure should be
chosen as a limit is not clear.
Probably they base their judgment
partly on the result of the Great
Eastern, which was over $4,000
tons burthen; but she was failure
in every other respect as we'll as in
speed. The building of tho two
new Clyde steamships will settle
the limit question - referred tc
above.

Four RuManS.

An Investigation shows that
three of the four Italian subjects
whom the people of New Orleans
recently killed were outlaws in
their own country. But one Of the
four had been acquitted, and that
one was fugitive FROM justice. The
Italian Government does not seen,
to have made much effort to re-
cover it's fugltives, being quite con,
tent that they should ply their
trade in the United States. But
when at last the rtffians fell VIC
tins to the fury Of the populace
they had preyed upon, the home
Government thought the time had
come to show SINE interest in
them. The facts brought out by
the judicial investigation suggest

VIEWS OF SILVER MEN.
An Address Issued by the National Execu
tive Committee.


| tive Committee.
The national executive silver committee.
whose meeting in New York was mentioned in
The STAR on Saturday, have issued an address
10 the public setting forth their views. There
were present Gen. A. J. Warner Of Ohio. chair
man; Francis C. Newlands of Nevada, vice
chairman; L. NJ. Rumsey of Missouri and Lee
Crandan Of Washington. d. c., secretary.
Senators Jones and Stewart of Nevada gave the
committee the benefit of their advice.
The address says in part:
''Why should all the great banking institu-
tons attribute stagnation and hard times to
scarcity Of money while they are exerting all
their power to make money scarce by adhering
to the gold standard. when they admit that
there Is not enough gold to maintain the BUSH
ness and credit of the commercial world?
I'VE have been doing business, paving debts
and distributing our annual products by a
money standard that has been growing dearer
and dearer until it has become 50 per cent
larger than eighteen years ago, when silver
was clandestinely demonetized.
The people are determined that this injus-
tice shall cease and it will cease in spite of the
sophistry of gold worshipers or the cupidity of
the credit holding classes. The remedy is in
the restoration of bimetallism. Place our
money system again upon the broad basis of
gold and silver as the money of ultimate re-
demption instead of gold alone. Support the
credit structure of the banks and the country
by both the metals under free and unlimited
coinage.
''In other words. instead Of less money and
more credit-substitutes for money which may
vanish when most needed-the country requires
more actual money and fewer mere credit de-
vices that lure to speculation to be followed by
a collapse OF credit and the breaking down of
ali business enterprises. A stable and not a
1lcsuatlug Ia Y IL
business. Who can doubt that greater stability
resides IN money coined from the metals auto
matically regulated than in credit devices that
today are and tomorrow may have vanished?
'Had it not been for the increased coinage of
silver under the act of July. 1880. we could not
have stood the drain of gold that has recently
been going on without the precipitation of
panic and the prostration of business
