means of redemption by the govern

means of redemption by the govern
ment-which depends upon the labor
and resources of the country. Free
coinage good only 80 long-as good
faith. confidence and trust exist and
the 16 to parity can be maintained,
but the moment these fail-all is lost
bankruptcy follows, and ruin is in
our pathway. There must be con-
cert of action, commercial good feel
ing and unity Of purpose among
governments, as there must be among
societies, communities and neighbor-
hoods of people in order to possess
power and insure happiness and
prosperity in any and all relations of
life. The power and uses of money
are founded upon the same natural
principles and no party can alter
them. l believe that the free and
unlimited coinage of silver under the
present conditions of our situation
with the over-production of our sill
yer mines and the unnumbered tons
of silver bullion stored in our treasury
department, which has already forced
the government to dispense with
further purchase of the metal, now
to open the minis of the country to
it's free and unlimited coinage would
surely widen the parity already ex-
listing between the two metals and
result in driving good money from
circulation and bring into the circula-
ton only one kind of money, and
that q deprecated silver currency
which means a cheaper dollar with
less purchasing power 1t means
reduction in the wages of labor. not
in the number of dollars, but in the
quantity of bread, meat, clothes,
comforts to be purchased with daily
wages. 1t means a reputation of q
portion of all debts public and pri-
vate, it means bounty to all the
banks, savings institutions, trust
companies, that are in debt more
than their credits. Are the people of
Accomac in favor of this? do not
believe that they are. l have not
written this article because l am
candidate for office, so far as l now
know I am not, and will not be, but
/ still feel an interest in the political
questions of the day and cannot con-
sent to give my vote for a policy in
which 1 can see no good-a policy
which is against Democratic ad-
ministration, both national and State
and against, 1 believe, a vast majority
of the Democratic people of Virginia
and the Eastern Shore.
Very truly, &C.,

 and Dies Soon After.

and Dies Soon After.
 William Shortell of 67 Minor street who had charge of the cattle pens in the freight yard of the Consolidated road at Long Wharf, was run over and fatally injured at 10 o'clock yester- day morning in the stock yard. He was at work cleaning the track near the stock pens when a stock car was being switched down the track. His back was turned to the approaching car and he dide not know of his dan ger. The car was moving slowly, mak- ing very little noise, and this probably prevented Shortell hearing it.
 He was knocked down by the bump CTS and before he could get up the wheels of the stock car passed over his right leg, crushing it. He was also cut about the face and head.
 The hospital ambulance took the in jured man to the hospital, but an hour after his arrival there he died. Shortell leaves widow, who is in the Rerteat for the Insane at Middle town, also a son and a daughter. When the accident occurred Shortell had $1, 100 in bills in his pocket.
 It is said that he is one of the oldest if not the oldest employe of the road in the freight yards in this city. He was tifty-five years of age.

The Death of Mrs. James L. Ensign.

The Death of Mrs. James L. Ensign. | The death of Mrs. James L. Ensign which occurred on Tuesday of this
 week, deserves more than passing ! mention
 Cornelia Ives was a member of that
 large circle of families of that name in this city and it's immediate vicinity. She was married at the age of twenty | five and went at once to New York city.
 Her husband was engaged in teaching
 and also at that time filled the position church, of which the pastor at that time ! was the Rev. Joseph P. Thompson. After residence of twelve years in New York MT. Ensign was called to a l professorship of music in the Maple wood Institute for Young Ladies at Pittsfleld, Mass. There a. pleasant home was found in that town; and Mrs En- siEn soon became well known and be- loved by a large circle in the church of which the late Rev Dr. John Todd was the pastor, MT. Ensign filling the posi- tion of organdst and enjoying the clos est relations of friendship with the pas tor and his family. The climate of western Massachusetts,, however, was too rugged for Mrs. Ensign's delicate constitution, and in 1868 a trip to Et1- rope, Including a winters sojoufn in Dresden, was enjoyed by her in com pany with her husband. She keenly enjoyed the rare musical opportunities of Dresden, possessing in commons with her husband rare musical tastes, and being gifted with fine voice which was cultivated in her youth.
 MT and Mrs. Ensign returned to this country and took up their residence in New Haven in 1869 and this change doubtless prolonged her life many wears the climate being here so much less severe than that of the Berkshires. In the summer of 1880 she made q second tour to Europe with her husband for a four months stay.
 For the past three years she had fail ed gradually in physical strength, but her cheerful courage had never been, i'm paired.
 Friends had marked the growing weakness with anxiety, fearing the parting which has come
 All who knew her recall wildly her beautiful face, with it's crown of silvery waving hair, her erect, graceful car riage, her sunny smile, her Christian temper.
 Calmress, unfailing gentleness, affec- tion-these were her prevailing charac- teristics An atmosphere of love was ever about her.
 Her departure leaves a pang in the hearts of all who knew her intimately. She leaves behind, though no near rela- tives, many who mourn and who will cherish her memory as an inspiration
