Whither Drifting.

The following figures will help
show whittier we are drifting in a
commercial way as we forge ahead
toward a single basis, gold standard:
For the FIVE months ending Jan.
81, 1895, we exported 4,776,O0O bales
of cotton, for which we received
S13S,337,OOO. For the correspond
ing months in 1894 we exported B.
621 900 bales, for which we received
sl43,559,O 900.
La other words, though we ship
ped l 10000 bales more during the
last five months we got s5,22O,OOO
less for it.
In January, 1894, 44,994,OOO lbs.
of exported lard was worth s4,043,-
900, while in January, 1895, though
we exported 5,729,OOO pounds more
than in 1894, we only get s3, ,8O3, 900.
In January, 1894, 1000 bar
rels of wheat flour brought s5,537,
900; in January, 1895, 1 1,2O8,O00 bar
rels bring only s3,859,OO
These figures are official. They
are of very great significance. 1t is
the duty and the interest of the
business men of the country in gem
eral to understand them. Has our
currency any relation to these pri-
ces, and if so what?-Sentinel.

FATAL AFFRAY.
A COalburg Street Brawl That Ends in
MurdaT

A COalburg Street BraWl That Ends in
Murder.
Charleston Mail
In an encounter with Ike Waters
at Coalburg Saturday evening
Henry Stephenson was fatally cut in
the neck with beer bottle.
The men had been quarrelling all
day and after quitting work in the
mines kept up their little fued. They
were separated however by friends
only to meet again in the evening at
Johnson's saloon at that place.
Both men Immediately assumed n
a beliggerent attitude and trouble
imminent. The men, however, con
versed in low tones for some tiSne,
but finally grew very loud. Sud
denly Walters grabbed an empty
beer bottle and struck Stephenson
over the neck. The bottle broke
with the force of the blow cutting
the jugular vein. The wounded
man was taken home where he is
to be slowly bleeding to
death.

Punish the Brutes.

Parkersburg Sentinel.
The effort to restore the whip
ping post as means of punishment
for wife beaters by the New York
Legislature is move in the right
direction, and one that ought to
reach the class it is aimed at. There
is a sort of undercurrent of cultivat-
ed refinement that pretends to ab-
hor such method of punishment,
but it is sentimental hypocrisy after
all. Thirty lashes on the bare back,
in public, isn't half enough punish
ment for the brutes of wife whip
pers, but the fear of such punish
ment, and the disgrace and humili-
alton growing of its publicity,
will have a deterrent effect on a
class of offenders against whose
brutality there is no protection un-
der existing laws.

DAN DIDN'T DRINK.
But, All the Same, His Share OF Whisky
Didn't Grow Any Older.


But, al the Same, His Share ofWhisky
Didn't Grow Any Older.
Somebody asked Secretary La
mont to take drink the other
day. Before the Colonel could re.
ply some body else told this story:
"That makes me think of the last
time heard some one give the
Colonel the same invitation. 1t
was during Cleveland's first term.
The Presidential party was in St.
Louis reviewing the parade. 1t
was a cold, clustering day, the sort
of weather which makes one draw
himself up intosthe smallest possible
space. Gov. Francis, who was do
ing the honors, looked at the Presi-
dent standing stoically in the face
of the wind while the parade went
by. Going to Col. Lamont the
Governor said:
9Colonel, do you eh-eh-think
it would-it would be right to ask
the President to eh-to take
drink -eh-of whiskey? Pretty
cold, you know, and it would do
him good"
"Ask him to take a drink La
mont exclaimed. "Good heavens,
man! do you mean to say that you
have been with the President
twenty-four hours and haven't
asked him TO drink?'
1.-THE Governor looked somewhat
surprised, but at the same time re-
lieved, admitted his guilt, and, step
ping to the President, said:
"Mr. President.
"The President turning around,
looked at him straight in the eye,
which seemed to take the sand out
of the Governor, who, blushing and
stammering like a young man about
to propose to his sweetheart said:
"Eh, Mr. President, do you know
itisvery cold to, day-eh-I thought
that maybe, just by the way of a
preventative, you know, that posi-
bly, you might think it is wise to
take small drink of-eh-whis-
key"
"Whero is it?" the President in
very businesslike manner asked.
"Right this way, said Gov. Fran
els, and beckoning at the same time
to Lamont and the Mayor he led
the party to a room which contain
ed a table on which were four glass
es half filled with whiskey. The
President looked at the glasses and
said to Gov. Francis;
"Who are these for2"
why, one, Mr.. President, is for
you, and one for Col. Lamont, one
for the Mayor, and one for myself"
"The President took up one glass
and emptied its contents into an
other. Setting down the empty
glass he raised the filled one careful
Iy to his lips, and looking at the
red liquor with an expression of
sweet anticipation, said, just before
emptying his glass: ''Dan don't
drink. Chicago Times.

West Virginia now has one Re-
publican Senator and four Repub-
lican Congressman. The difference
that this will make will be that they
will draw the salaries instead of the

get out and hustle for it just the
same as you did when we had two
Democratic Senators and four Con-
