News has been received that the
bloody war which was waged so fear
fully a few years ago in Perry county,
between the Eversole and French
factions, and which everybody was
hoping had been settled forever, has
again broken out. A bloody fight
took place upon the street in Hazard
Wednesday between Jesse Fields, the
leading participant upon the French
side. and Cash and John Eversole,
sons of Joe Eversole, who was so
brutally murdered few years ago.
The fight resulted in the instant death
of Jesse and the serious wounding of
Polly Ann Coombs, the grandmother
of Cash and jefferson. John Ever
sole received pistol wound in the
wrist. Further trouble is anticipated.

Duel to Death.

Last Friday night, in Sewer
County, Robert Mcmahon and Rob-
er5 Clayton fought duel to the death
without witnesses, and Clayton was
killed, Clayton bad ueen paying at
lentIous to Mrs. Clayton, and came
to her house, thinking McMahon
away from home. He threw a pebble
against the house to attract her at
tentiOn, and Mcmahon saw him
through thu window. He took two
heavy revolvers, went out of the
house aud attacked Clayton, who was
armed with BULLDOG revolver and
a club. They fought with pistols un-
til fifteen shots were fired, when
Claytnn ran for about forty yards and
fell deSd. He WAS pierced by eight
bullets, six in chest and abdomen.
McMahOn was not wounded at all,
one bullet striking his pocket-knife
and the others missing him. The
coroner's jury declared the deed JUS

A WEALTHY PENsIoNER.

One of the most pleasant things to
contemplate In the possession OF both
branches of the government by the
Democratic party is the reformation
that IL beiug made in that sink OF
iniquity, the Pension Bureau. The
spirit which animated the original
pension laws, WAS to provide for such
eoldiers rs on the field OF battle, or
otherwise ia actual service as SOL
diers, became disabled permanently
from making a living. No one, not
even ex-Confederates, object to be-
ing taxed for 80 Landslide a purpose
But the original spirit and purpose
Of tue law has been totally lost sight
Of, and both subsequent enactments
and the spirit in which all of them
have been construed las been in the
direction of giving a pension TO every
man who really had been or success
fully pretended to have been SOL
der.
Under the regime thus set up, the
most fragrant aud rascslly abuses
have been set up and the country is
to-day being robbed OF millions Of
dOilqrs rs pensions 10y those who have
not shadow Of right to draw them.
A distinguished instance of abuse Of
THIS kind, is found in the case OF
Judge Chas. D. Long one of the ST.
preme Judges Of the State of Michi-
gan. AS Judge of the Supreme Court
he receives salary of $1,000 year /;
rs a pensiOner totally disabled from
making living he is paid $72, a
month.
The Judge is paid a pension for
total heipIessness" because he lost
his left arm above the elbow, and re-
ceived a gun shot wound iu the hip.
But what does total helplessness'
mean? Ii il means the kind OF dis
ability that is consistent with earn
ing seven thousand year, there are
ut least sixty millions of people in
tuis country that would like 10 be
helpless that way.
1t may be that the gentleman is
theoretically helpless, for it Is very
difficult to describe in exact Language
the condition contemplated by the
law but it is manif-stly the spirit OF
the law, that those who were diss.
bled from making living were the
ones who were entitled to a pension
Under this view Of the case Balti-
more saloon keeper has Just resigned
his claims to y pension, being able to
make his living otherwise; but the
saloon keepers fine sense OF honesty
does not seem to animate the distin'
guished justice.
We do not doubt that Secretary
Smith has the nerve to purge the
pension list az far as he possibly can
and he.may TEST assured in turning
the rsscals out" in that way, he will
receive the endorsement, not only oil
his own party, but OF vast number
of Republicans, who are disguised
with the venality Into which wha
once appeared to be patriotism hal
been converted.

THE SILVER QUESTION.
An Englishman iVants Free Coinage
Silver,


An Englishman iVants Free Coinage OF
Silver,
Mr.. Richard Lacey of Z Old Slip
New York has received letter OIL
the silver question from Richard
Lacey Everett, NJ. z. Tue cable re.
ports Of the proceeding of Parliame mt
nave mentioned Mr.. Everett several
times rs interrOgatiug Mr.. Gladstone
Mr.. Everetts letter is as follows:
The feeling of the many friends of
free coinage of both metals in EGG
land, both to be iull legal tender, Is
strong against the action OF the
Government as TO India.
First-Because it has taken step
Of worldwide Importance without
consulting Parliament though Parlia-
ment WAS sitting ut that time.
Second-Because, having in the
early part of the session indignantly
denounced "tampering with the cur
rency," it is now tempered with in u
way that rests upou no principle,
and that will adversely affect the
the dumb, helpless millions OF the
Empire OF India
Third-Becaus9 It did all it could
to Illustrate the coming 10 an inter
national agreement as to silver aud
gold at Brussels, while it now Seeks
10 carry out bastard bimetallism
between India and England by
their joint action alone.
Fourth-Because, having rallied at
the folly of the idea Of attempting ~
a. nl Of -
il now trying to do that very thing
Fifth-Because a further new de-
msnd for gold will be created by
what 10 proposed, to artiticialIy
further raising the value of that
metal aud consequently forcing
down OF the prices of commodities,
to the further depression OF industry
and adding to the burden Of all
debts.
Sixth-6ecause new difficulties
will be created between India and
China, Japan and other silver using
countries.
Seventh--Because the new POLICY
tends to restrict the supply OF money
instead of leaving it free end auto
matte.
We look anAiously now to see
what the United States will dc. We
hope free coinage at the same ratio
will be Americas answer. The one
great, supreme aim of the moneyeC
class and the London press is to re-
strict the supply of money, so as tC
Zurich the owners of land and othel
real property. We hope the SHARP
Intelligence of your people, In Tia,

owners, will see through this crue
game of the mOneyed cins-e7 an,

ricultural classes here are indescrib
able, but they don't clearly see why
it is that their prices are forced down

A FEW days ago, a prominent bust
ness man in ST. Louis went into one
OF the banks with large package
under his arm. He told the teller he
wanted to open an account with the
bank and unrolled the package show
ing that it contained $4,000. The
teller was of course much pleased to
get his account and started to hand
out q pen aud their autograph book
to get the gentleman's signature.
But he paused and asked il the
money had been paid to him, or IL he
had withdrawn it from another bank.
He replied that he had checked it out
of another bank, naming it, as he did
not think it very strong. Then, said
the teller, 1--WE cannot take your
account. That bank is as strong aud
safe financially as any in the city,
Thus the banks of st. Louis had
Joined in mutual protection
arrangement aud resolved that not
one Of their number should be
wrecked by foolish panic caused by
some idle or malicious rumor. The
lesson is good one for other banks
and business men to learn. Thou
sands Of failures are brought about
by the reckless efforts of people to
squeeze money out OF concerns thai
have assets, but cannot realize on
them at once.

For quarter OF century, no ses-

has discussed matters OF grsver i'm
port to the American people than
will the session:cslIeG by the Presi-
dent 20 meet 10 August. OF course
there is much speculation as what
financial laws will be enacted. No
one can possibly guess, but there is
a general feeling and expression
that silver will be provided for in
some way, and many think that the
proper thing to do will be to put u
dollars worth of silver into the silver
dollar.
The absurdity Of such a proposition
is too obvious to be worthy Of a mo-
ments thought. What is a dollars
worth of silver? Suppose 1t to be
an ounce aud third now, how long
will it remain so? When the SheI.
man law was enacted silver went to

Senator Harris on Silver, Aud the

Senator Harris was inf NJ emphis

the Appeal Avalanche. In the con-
vereatlOn some one suggested that
the repeal of the Sherman act, go
called, might relieve matters gener-
ally.
"Will it?" said the Senator with a
grim, ominOus smile. "The Sher-

forced. 1t, however, expands the
