The advertisements in live. readable

readers what they want to know-where
goods can be bought. what they arc sold
for, who has houses to rent or sell, who
wishes to purchase real estate. where en-

thousand other things that they want 60

editors and reporters supply news worth

good share of it. and if there are any read

LNNCH LAW.
We clip the following from the Waynes-
borO Sentinel:

We clip the following from the Waynes-
boro Sentinel:
ION Tuesday morning at Luray another
murderer was turned loose upon society
in the person Of Broyles, who first spit
in Snyder's face and then, with malice
ana reconciliation, shot him TO death in
the postofiice at that place. Whatever
the law says about IL, If there is any
truth to be CLEANED from newspaper lc-
ports, IL was murder most foul. but
through the tricks and chcanery Of
law and lawyers he is a free man, and
still the people invegh against lynch
law"
We are sure our esteemed contemporary
gave expression 10 these sentiments with
out due consideration OF them, and that
It will renounce them when it reflects
Broyles case except the fact that after
patient investigation OF II running
through more than a week, twelve per
fectly impartial and Independent citizens
Of the neighborhood concurred in declar-
ing that Broyles should be acquitted
For ourselves, therefore. we are much
more inclined to think that the news
papers gave us unreliable reports OF the
case than that jury that made a thor
ough investigation Of them fell into error.
1t is not every man who commits homi-
eide who is a murderer, and we must
accept the verdict of the jury that tries
the case as the best evidence that the
particular homicide had in it facts and
circumstances that justified or excused
the killing.
But never mind what might have been
the facts of this case. the Sentinel surely
does not mean to say that any miscar-
riage whatever of justice in a particular
case would justify lynching, and yet it
comes very near to saying that it does.
our esteemed contemporary must revise
this declaration. Nothing whatever can
Justify lynch law. Better let us have
anarchy absolute and complete which
would be state In which every man
knew he would have to protect his own
by his own arm, and would therefore
be always ready TO do 1t, than a state
Of pretended law in which the law af-
forded no protection at all.
Lynch law win not do under any cir
cumstances whatever.

is THE RESPONSIBILITY WITH THE

up, and has controverted the proposition

to the defense Of its proposition. and
states its case thus:

"These facts and the usages based upon
them have the force Of comforting Vahd

wanted for export IT should be supplied
by the banks
This IS hardly fair statement OF the
case. In ordinary times and under normal
conditions, the banks Of New York should
make point OF having on hand every
thing-gold. silver. bank notes, or Treas
urv notes-that their customers might
want and they should be diligent In as
pertaining what they want, that they
might provide a full supply Of 1t before

But the present are not ordinary times,
nor are the conditions normal conditions.
Something has upset confidence, and
thrown all business out of gear. Prudent
men are everywhere guarding their TANKS,
and terrifying themselves against eX-
pected trouble. Who is responsible for
this state OF affairs? On the creator OF
it should fall the burden Of it.
We all know 1t comes from the Gov
erament's effort to force men to take
dollar worth only sixty-fve cents in pay
ment Of debts where they have parted
with whole dollars. As the Government
has caused the trouble. the Government
should foot the bill. 1t is not just and
fair that the banks Of New York should
be expected TO put their shoulders to the
wheel and bear the whole strain Of the
crisis, with the bringing on OF which

whatever that may tend 10 increase the

trust But the emergency is no more
their affair than It Is the affair Of any
other class Of citizens. and they are no
more to be censured for seeking to take
care of themselves than other prudent
men are to be censured for it. 1t is a time
when all men are looking out for them
selves, and it is for the Government to
meet and deal with an emergency which
the Government itself has deliberately
caused. 1t is not a case to be dealt with
by sentiment ard gush. II is case OF
hard and stern reality, in which violation
of the fixed and immutable laws Of trade
and commerce are bringing upon The
country their certain and appropriate re-
suits; and that makes it one which calls
for the exercise Of every power of the
Government in dealing with it. and fun
and speedy removal By it Of the cause
Of the evil.

cans for passing the Sherman bill, he

famous bilion-dollar Congress that "the
Democratic Congress Of the last session
exceeded I'm the amount OF its expenditures
the bnion-dollar Congress"
This embryo statesman has much 10
learn. He evidently does not know that
the last Congress was not Democratic,
that the excessive expenditures Of that
Congress were imposed upon the country
by laws passed by the billion-dollar Con-
gress, and that, as the Senate OF the last
Congress was Republican, and. for that
reason, the Democrats in the House could
not repeal these obnoxious laws, they
were compelled TO obey them.
