Confession not Necessary.

1t needs no confession of Lawrence Spiller
to know that he is guilty of two of the very
worst offences in the calendar of crime-the
evidence shows that beyond doubt. We
would not attach much credibilty to what he
would say at this time. If his confession
shall be postponed till day or two before his
execution, there will be more probability of
its truth, and even then there may be doubt.

The riotous outbreaks of the foreign
element in Cleveland and in the min
ing districts of Pennsylvania ought to
convince the South that foreign immi-
grafton is not at all desirable in this
section. Congress ought also to realize
by this time that the immigration
problem has reached proportions that
compel the most thoughtful considera-
ton. If there were to be an entire ces-
satlon of immigration to this country,
1t might prove a great blessing. Ger
talnly we do not care to add to our
strength by additions from such classes
as those that have lately been stirring
up riots and shedding blood in Ohio
and Pennsylvania.-In der- appeal.

the evidence of his talent is there preserved in
the form of reports embodying hundreds OF
! elaborate and mastery opinions, that would
do credit to the best lawyers of his day. In
{ plain cases Judge Smith took no insterest-his
delight was to have before him a case involv-
ing great difficulty of law and fact, novel and
| interesting questions; then he became alb
solutely absorbed and has been known to
work on such case all day and late into the
night for weeks together 1t can be truly
said by those who knew him well that in
some directions he was genius OF no ordinary
character. To the lasting honor and memory
of Judge Smith let it be here recorded of him
by those who knew him well. that in all the
vast number of cases before him, involving
warm and often bitter contests. when often
lifelong friends were parties on the one sid,.
ana strangers before him on the other he
was absolutely free from prejudice and
sought only to reach the very right although
it might be his friends ruin
Judge Smith was man of splendid general
cultivation, and literary attainments. He
was especially devoted to scientific reading
and investigation. He was a genial and
courteous gentleman, with very many warm
1flends and no enemies, whose loss will be
greatly depored, and whose memory will be
KEPT green for many years. Therefore be it
resolved by the Staunton Bar that they
have heard with profound sorrow of the death
OF Their friend and brother, the Hon j. W.
u Smith that they will cherish his memory
with affection-that copies of this preamble
ana resolutions be presented to the Courts of
TINS city and county, with the request that

same to the family of our deceased friend

Judge John w. Green Smith departed this
life in this city Sunday evening, May 9Th, 1894
and the Staunton Bar is called together to
mourn over departed brother, and to pay
their sad tribute of respect to his memory
He was born at Waverly, near Dayton in
Rockingham county, the home of his distin-
guished father, the late Judge Daniel Smith,
on the 18th day of September 1929, Having
chosen the law as his profession, he COM
menced in early manhood, the practice in his
native county, and afterwards removed to the
State of California where he continued the
practice of his profession. After some years
of residence in California he returned to Vir-
ginia, and in 1855. he settled in Staunton,
forming partnership with the late Thos j.
Niche. In 1870 he was elected by the Legis-
ature Judge of the Hastings Court of the
City of Staunton. which office he filled until
he resigned in 1887 In the year 1870. he was
also appointed a Master Commissioner in
Chancery for the Circuit Court of Augusta
county. 1t was III this latter position that a
field was opened up for the development, and

none. Judge Smith was no mere accountant

SILVER DOLLARS.
The Local Mint Turning Out Thirt!
Thousand Day.

The entire force of the United States
Mint in this city is now engaged in max
ing silver dollars, the coinage of the
seigniorage being now in operation in &C
cordance with instructions from the
United States Treasury Department.
The output of dollars is about $4,000 a
day, but this may be Increased.
The stock of silver on hand in the Mint
is sufficient to keep the dies busy for
some time If the authorities deem it adj
visable to continue the coinage of the
white metal. The vaults at this date
contain 100000 ounces of silver bullion.
Besides there is on hand the sum of $751;
$4,000 in silver coin. ~
The officers of the local mint do not
know how long the coinage of silver is
to continue, as no definite instructions
have been received. Present operations
are being carried on by authority of a
Geographic order to make silver dollars
until further advised.
The Seigniorage has, been accommodating
in the local mint for several years. A
Mint clerk gives the information that
those who wish to calculate for them
selves the amount of the seigniorage on
silver dollars may do so by deducting the
price of silver per ounce from 129. The
average price of the silver bullion in the
Mint at this place has been about 20
cents an ounce. The average seigniorage
on each silver dollar coined is therefore
in the neighborhood of SO cents, less the
cost of operating the Mfat.-San Francis
