MAISTAINISG THE PARITY OF
THE METALS.

1t is claimed by the Secretary Of
the Treasury that the law requires
him to maintain tho "parity of the
matals" and that to do this the OPP
ton to take gold or silver must be
given to the holders Of the notes.
That is exactly the reverse of what
shiuld be done, il he would uphold
the value Of silver coin, Bimetal-
lism rests upon the law of legal ten
der, which gives the option to tho pay
er and not to the payce.
II the one who receives the money
is given the option to say what kind
OF money he will take, legal tender
is annulled, and without legal tender,
rs before stated, there never would
long be but one kind of money, and
that the dearest. For as soon rs one
kind OF money tended to become
more valuable than other kinds,
everybody would choose that kind of
money.
Tho principle on which bimctallism
rests is the came rs that OF legal ten
der. With the right to pay in either
metal, il one becomes more abundant
and tends to become cheaper, or can
be moro easily obtained, this is the
metal that is selected to pay in, and
in that way it's use extended and the
use OF the other metal Is restricted.
1t is not by increasing the Use Of the
metal tending to become dearer, and
restricting the use OF the other, that
the two metals n be kept togethc r,
but by the opposite policy OF using
less OF the dearcr md more OF the
other, II the two metals we're Mt q
parity to begin with, parity would be
broken by the course pursued by the
Secretary OF the Treasury. Equally
Intellectual will be tho policy to Dor.
row gold by issuing new bonds.
Gold that does tot come TO us in the
course OF trade will not stay here
when bought with bonds.
That is SO evident q truth that
calculation is hardly neccssary.-Yir,
ginia Chronicle.

About Ring ItuIc.

Tho Democratic organ is laboring to
Inako itself think that there are Repub-
jican rings in West Virginia, aud its
peace Of mind is considerably dis
turbod in consequence 1t sees rings to
the right OF II, rings to tho left OF it and
ring. all around it, and it Is panied TO
think that tho Republican party is go
ing to suffer on account OF them. In
fact, tho organs concern for tho ring.
ridden Republicans Is so deep that it is
moved to comment pathetically upon
tho state OF affairs which Its fancy has
pictured.
Tho trouble with tho organ is that it
10 distressed to witness the remarkable
harmony that exists among tho Re-
publicans OF West Virginia, and Is
alarmed at tho evidences OF Republican
enthusiasm and the united front they
will present in the coming campaign.
In its desperation, caused by those signs,
the organ lIns conceived that the only
homo OF Democratic success lies in Il
campaign OF misrep rosenta,ion and a
policy Of creating discussions among
Republicans. Hence, all this talk about
rings, when no rings exist. These pro-
ducts OF tho organs imagination arc
more amusing than harmful, and do not
disturb tho serenity OF tho Republican
mind in tho least
But with what poor grace docs talk
about Republican ring rule come from
the organ Of the party which is held by
tho throat by sugar ring, q Standard
oil ring and whisky ring. With what
poor graCo does it como from the organ
OF the Ohio county Democracy, whose
convention held in this city yesterday
was set up by otIice-hoIders in the IN.
torest OF II moneyed ring that is trying
10 control the Democratic politics OF
this state and reeleCt Senator J. n.
Camden 10 tho United States senate; n
ring that did not hesitate to send
armed federal marshals to control
Democratic primaries in its own inter-
teresss in Cabcll county, to bull'doxe
Democratic county conventions in Nc.
Dowel and Mercer countiOs, and to
threaten with violence Democrats who
dared to protest against such high
handed proceedings.
Speaking of political rings let tho
Democratic organ consult such ointment
Democrats rs Ex-Governor Wilson.
Judge Daniel b. Lucas aud others who
arc to-day going over tho state Of West
Virginia making fight against the ring
Of federal office holders which is using
every means in its power to defeat tho
popular Democratic choice for senator.
After such consultation perhaps tho
organ will be able TO more intelligently
moralizO on the evils OF ring rule.

tressing drowning occurred in the Ohio
river at Toronto yesterday afternoon
and amid tho sad features connected

it deserves.
Six bright children, Ann A., Ethel

Mary Moores, started to 20 across the
river to New Cumberland in skill.
The boat had hole In the stern and

Moorcs, became no frightened that shc
jumped out OF the skill into the river.
tho other children hurried TO tho stern
end Of the skill. causing II to tip UP md
upset with its living freight. Then the
scene that followed was exciting aud in-
describablc. Frank Grimes and john
MoOres acted tho part OF heroes, aud.
being able TO swim. tried 10 cave others.
John Moorc4 caught his brother.
Charley, nearest him. but was pulled
under and drowned by tho drowning
boy. Their bodies werO found lust

who swan ont from shore just as she
