What To Do.
From narrers weekly.

From Harper's Weekly
For the immediate future. and fos
the coming session OF Congress, the
thing TO do is simple Repeal the
Sherman act F.: stop the currency based
on silver purchases and containing the
threat Of reducing our currency to the
ffiy-ti,e cent basis; and for the res,
take time for consideration.
Whatever may have been the origin
al merit or demerit of the Sherman
act, the time has come to be done
with il, and with the whole policy Of
which it was part. We will admit,
for arguments sake. that when passed
it was necessary in order to stave off
free silver bill. and that compromise
with the silver party was then the best
policy. But the time for compromise
is past, and the country must make
up It's mind to cease playing with fire.
The Bland act was dangerous COM
promise with the silver men, the Sher.
man act was another we can afford
no further experiments in the issuing
of bad money which displaces good.
We might continue on the verge Of
breakdown for still space, ard not
come to grief. But we can no longer
afford this perilous experimenting.
The present financial crisis adds
further and urgent reason for immedi.
ate repeal We will again admit, for
arguments sake, that it is mistake
to lay all our present troubles at the
door of the Sherman act Other things
have contributed to bring about the
crisis, and we will not quarrel with
those who lay more stress on this
cause or on that. But no one will
deny that the Sherman act was one
potent scource of trouble. We all
know that in times Of financial tribula-
ton the one thing needful is con.
hdence-a reasonable and firm assur-
ance that the future will bring better
things, and willingness not to press
rights and debts, in the certainty that
they will have their due when the
proper season comes. The spirit Of
confidence has been shattered more
by the Sherman act than by any other
cause. The peril of the governments
finances, tue distrust Of foreign inves-
tors, the wonder what unexpected
breakdown the next day may bring
these have been the fruits of that un-
happy measure. Remove the incubus,
and the calm and orderly course OF
business affairs will be resumed. The
one thing now to do is to promote
calm, order, hope. Whatever other
causes may have disturbed them, here
is one cause which legislation can set
right. Let Congress repeal the act,
and restore to the community that
confidence without which the modern
machinery Of trade cannot work.

August Panic Mongers.

This August would be a dry. d,bl
month if it were not for the CALAMITY
howlers. 1t is said that everything IN
nature has its uses, including even the
mosquito, whose use, however, has no,
yet been discovered. The calamity
howler must also have his purpose in
the universe. Perhaps it is 10 keep
people awake during the summer va.
cation and prevent their falling into
too seductive a repose.
Whatever its purpose, the buzzing
still goes on. 1t is not SO much about
the financial crisis now. People got
tired of sensational headline. ..::abou,
bank failures and predictions OF impend.
ing woe, and the panic.mongers them.
selves seem to have wearied of their
efforts or 10 have become frightened
at the spectres Of their own conjuring.
But they are not going to abandon the
pleasure Of startling people. 1t is a
poor day that will furnish no mater
ial for scare.
The health of the President is fine
theme for the calamity howlers. A
few weeks ago they had a very poor
opinion of the President and didn',
believe that he could do anything use.
ful anyhow. Now they are convinced
that he is dreadfully il and the coun.
try is in imminent danger in conse.
quence. This is at once a foolish and
cruel attempt to make scare.
There is not ore known fact on which
to base it, and if it has any other mo,
tive than idle gossip it can only be to
distress Mr.. Cleveland and his family
and TO add to the anxieties Of the
country.
Then there is the cholera scare.
That had to come up again, of course.
A single vessel with some cases OF
cholera aboard arrived in the harbor
of New York and was detained at
quarantine; all the sick persons were
isolated and most of them are doing
well, while there have been no addl-
llOldl cases. on lliC hlIO'C SNtCuN Va
our coast there has been nothing else
that SO much as suggested the impor-
tation of cholera. But the calamity
organs are printing double headed dis
patches from Swinburne Island with
scare heads OF the most Startling sort,
and if it is possible to work up an
other cholera panic, they will do it.
These same papers have also dis
covered that the crops are failure,
among other things, and We may fairly
expect them to find some terrible por-
tent in the alarming spots on the sun.
The great advantage Of the way IN
which they are OVERRIDING the scare
business is that they are making it n
diculous, but there are still some peo'
who find it annoying. Even mosqui'
toes may cause great deal of dlscom'
fort, though themselves may suffer
most in the end.-ISmes

GOLD MINING.
SILVER BULLION.

The United States produce more
gold and silver than all the world be-
sides. 1t is mercantile commodity,
it is bought and sold, 1t is traded and
bartered. You can't eat it, you can't
wear it, but it buys your coat and your
corn, your pants and your potatoes. 1t
is the best medium Of exchange. Ma
tions as we'll as individuals deal in it.
When ii moves, everything else moves.
The wheels of industry, the cars OF
commerce, the ships of trade sail in
unison.

BUSINESS BETTER,
MONEY EASIER

Our exchanges from all parts of the
country are in a hopeful mood, and
give reports Of mills resuming, of in
dustries steaming up their works, Of
workmen gathering 10 their old places,
and OF an increase OF currency. Pay
ment OF small accounts to tradesman
is being made everywhere, and thus
money is again going its rounds.
Keep it going. The world is not com,
ing to an end. Business, trade, gold
and silver are abundant, keep them
moving.

THE U S. CoURT.-Two district
Courts, with different officers and
separate records, working under one
general head, and with the same
judge is rather puzzling spectacle
to the uninitiated, and an explana.
ton is often asked of the why and
wherefore, and the different jurisdic-
ton of the two. We will try to en-
tighten our readers on that subject.
The U. s. District Court, of which
Jasper Y. Moore, Esq. is Clerk, has
jurisdiction in criminal cases alone,
while the U. S. Circuit Court, of
which l.. R. Dellicker, ESQ.,, is Clerk,
has exclusive jurisdiction in cases at
common law and equity, and also
concurrent jurisdiction in criminal
cases The District Court has con-
current jurisdiction with the Circuit
Court, in matters in admiralty and
bankruptcy but in no other civil
proceedings. In places where the
business of the Court is heavy, the
District Court attends exclusively to
criminal cases, and the Circuit Court
to civil proceedings but where there
is not much before the Court, the
Circuit Court disposes of most of
the business, both civil and criminal
cases. World.

THE CITY BAND AT HAaERsTowN

THE CITY BAND AT HAGERsTowN
The Martinsburg City Band has
gained more of reputation than ev-
er by it's engagement at the Hagers-
town Fair The Globe of the 18th
calls it crack organization while
the Neacs gives it the following
"puff:"
"We have nothing but complimen.
tary remarks and congratulations Of
the superlative degree to offer our
sister city, Martinsburg, upon the
subject of music. The band which
visited our city Thursday from our
neighboring county, Berkeley. was
the recipient of the most compli
mentary remarks bestowed upon any
musical organization that has visited
Hager> town since the visit of the
Reading Band last summer, and they
well deserved it. For a country
town, and we name ourselves among
them, Martinsburg has the best band
within our ken. The selections rem.
dered in the public square last night
by them were of class that caused
professionals to pause and admire
The execution was of such a charac
ter as to demonstrate the result OF
thorough training. We can only
hope that our neighbors will come
again, and that shortly"
Some of the managers of the Bal
timore County Fair, who were pres
ent informed Major Curtis that they
intend to have the band for theil
next exhibition.

FUNERAL OF MYRoN MENpENHA

FUNERAL OF MYRoN MENDENHALL.
The death of Myron Mendenhall
in his 18th year removes a young
man whose rare soclsl and musical
talents made him universally esteem
ed. But short time ago his faith
er's death occurred, and after this
he went to Ohio where he made his
home with his sister, Mrs. Emory
Howard. He fell i'll in Ohio and
never recovered, although his illness
was of long duration and at times he
was improved in condition. His re-
mains were brought to this place, and
the funeral services took place from
his home on West Burke street on
last Saturday morning. Rev. J. H.
Hundley officiated at the funeral and
his remarks on the occasion of one
so young dying were both pathetic
and instructive. The Guitar and
Mandolin Club, of which Myron was
member, together with the voices
of the Baptist Church choir, played
and sang "Heaven is My Home, .
and s'Home, Sweet Home" during
the funeral services. With his sis
tiers and brothers we deeply sympa
thize, and if the beautiful young life
could say"I'm satisfied, 'why should
we not be able to repeat the words

LITERARY NoTE.-A paragraph
has recently appeared in the press
stating that Professor Woodberry's
book on James Russell Lowell is on
the verge of publication. This is
not correct. Mr.. Woodberry s work
is not yet far advanced, and it is not
to be hastily accomplished. The
book will not be ready for publica-
ton for many months, probably not
before 1895. 1t is to be a Life of
Mr.. Lowell, and will be one of the
series of american Men and Let
ters," edited by Mr...Charles Dudley
Warner. The Harpers will issue
during this month the 'tLetters of
James Russell Lowell, edited by
Prof. Chas. Eliot Norton. The work
will be published simultaneously in
the United States and England. No
volumes announced for appearance
this season have been expected with
more eagerness than these notable
ones. The Letters cover the wide
range of Mr.. Lowell's friendships and
careet.

Senator Perkins, of California, has
made public his recipe for the manu-
facture of a statesman. First, man
has to be popular to command votes,
and the senator's popularity he as
cribes to a simple little method he
has adopted. He says that he has a
habit of asking every second or third
man he meets for the time of day,
and Immediately setting his watch
according to the information given
him. Senator Perkins asserts that
the wear and tear on his own watch
and tue compliment paid to that of
his constituent are repaid by the lat
ter's vote and his support in differ
ent ways. This is the California
Senator's formula tor becoming a
man of the times,-P5ttsburg Chron-
lcle Telegraph.
