HERE is Congressman Dick Blue on
the financial question::
1.-The man who says he is in favor
of free silver is either too ignorant CT
too dishonest to be statesman. The
free and unlimited coinage of silver
would be like Uncle Sam cutting
every dollar in two, Every old sold
ier who draws a pension would have
the purchasing power of that pension
reduced one-half. May my right hand
become palsied and my tongue cleave
to the roof of my mouth before enter
into any such thing as the free and
unlimited coinage of the silver of the
world"
Some one ought to take up cOllec-
ton to buy Dick copy of Coins finan-
clal school and then hire some one to
explain it to him. But then what S
the use; we would also have to hire a
brain for Richard to understand with,
for man who talks like that on the
silver question surely hasn't any grey
matter in his noggin or is knaye.
We would hate to insinuate that Rich
ards morals were at all to be implgn-
ed.

AN enthusiastic meeting was held in
Chicago at the Central Music Hall,
September 2Sth. for the purpose of
passing series of resolutions asking
the United States to recognize the
Cubans as belllgerents. Mayor Swift
presided and kilograms were seceived
from GOvernar Altgeld, Geo r. Peck,
and congressman Adams, Wilkerson
and Gen. Alger. The city council
met on the same night and after trans
acting routiue busines, adjourned that
the members might attend the meet
ing in body. Gen. Alger believes
that we should recognize the right of
the Cubans to fight for their liberty,
then extend a helping hand ard finally
make a place for them in the Union.
He thinks that President ,nrOe's
theory as to the rights q! other
countries should now be gi...ted to
Cuba, that she has made magnifi-
cent struggle for her liberty and that
we should lend her helping hand.

BANK notes are evidences of debt
and evidence of the debt of the
bank and the credit of the bearer.
The bank note is current all over the
land because it has on its face the en-
dorsement and seal of the United
States government. That endorse
ment enables noii-interest bearing
notes to serve the purposes of a med
ium of exchange-th purposes of mon
ey. But why should the government
lend its endorsement to none but
bankers? The Lanks want that en-
dorsemens that their notes may go
unchallenge1. Then they swap their
non-interest bearing notes for the in
terest bearing notes of farmers and
business men and come out ahead the
interest, the borrower furnishing the
credit at his end and the people fur
nisliing the credit at the bankers end
That sort of an arrangeMnt is a little
tough On!he farmers and business men
but 1t is a picnic for the gentlemen
behind the brass ralling,-E1.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S sentimental

Gilmer Speed has written from unpub-

Speed, for the next issue of The Ladies

steady in his affairs of the heart, that
he floundered in his love, and finally

OCTOBER WEATHER.

The following are Tice's predictions
for October: ''Autumnal storms, origi-
mating in September, will be in tensi-
flied by Venus on the second and
full moon OH the third. The electric
influence will be felt through the en-
tire month, aggravating all storm per-
iods. The first storm will have pas
sed to the east by the fourth, leaving
a touch of winter in its rear. Warmer
on the sixth and seventh, with local
scattering storms. The second stolm
period will be gathering in the west
on the eleventh and be intensified by
Mercury OH the thirteenth. Heavy
rains with tempestous winds, will be
raging on the lakes and seas. Navi-
CATION difficult, calling for much eau
ton. Frost and freezing to the north
chilling winds and low barometer far
into the south, follow. Pleasant, cool
days, growing warmer with local
storms on the eighteenth and nine
teenth. The last storm period of the
month will originate IN the west OIL
the twentythird. Very active storms
will travel east and reach the Atlantic
by the twentyslxth leaving very
smart dash of winter on their trail.
The remaining days of the month will
be very cool and pleasant growing
warmer with minor storms ON the thir.
tieth and thirtyfirst. The surface of
the sun is seldom, if ever entirely free
from spots. When however our earth
and its atmosphere Indicate general
and violent physical disturbance, then
immence spots are also seen upon the
face of the sun. Not only the size
but the number of the spcts are theI
observed to be increased, Hutchinson

Judge Hughes on viva-yocc Voting.

We publish the letter Of Judge Robert
w. Hughes. because we have respect for
his ability and character, and because the
suffrage question is one that demands
and should receive public attention, but
we do not agree with him as 10 some or
the statements and arguments that he
makes, nor as 10 his conclusion that Nir-
glnia should return to the viva voce sys-
TEN Of voting.
If we could have the same sort OF voters
that we had in Virginia prior TO the sur
render we should cheerfully endorse the
Judges proposition to return to the viva
yoce system. But that is impossible. We
can't turn back the wheel OF "progress"
to that extent.
We should be fortunate indeed IL we
could turn II back so far as TO eliminate
the most venal and ignorant element or
our voting population. All Of the Southern
States except Virginia and North Carolina
have put some check upon indiscriminate
voting, and IL is unfortunate that these
two States did not do so some years ago.
North Carolina is now in the hands or
her enemies. In Virginia a very serious
effort has been made TO divide the white
voters, and until we know the full ex-
tent Of this detection IT might be impru-
dent to commit ourselves TO a date for
convention. But we feel sure that a con-
vention can be postponed only few
years Sooner or later we shall have to
have it--have to have it to consider this
fsef q
in the State and couCty governments.
1t Is useless to rely upon the General
Assembly to propose the needed amend
ments. The General Assembly can't find
time even to attend TO current legislative
business, and much that 1t attends to is
work badly done. In the membership OF
a convention we might expect very SUI
perior material. Each county or city has
a man who would be delighted to become
a member Of a constitutional convention
a body which would have place in his
tory-but who on no account would run
for the Legislature.
If convention could manage to dispose
OF the suffrage question satisfactorily
after sixty days consideration. it would
be quick work. No Legislature would
give 1T so much as sixteen days consid-
Grafton.
When we do have convention we
hope that Judge Hughes will be on hand
to advocate his scheme. so that 1t may
be presented with all possible favor. but
We cannot encourage him to believe that
1t will be adopted.

Tucker and McINcnncy.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Baltimore Sun says that the testimony
in two Of the contested election cases in
Virginia has been received at the Office
Of the Chief Clerk OF the House. The
cases are those of Thorp against Me-
Kenney, In the Fourth District and lOst
against Tucker I'm the Tenth District.
I'm each case the testimony makes four
teen bulky packages OF manuscript It
is not thought that any Of the contests
will be allowed, notwithstanding the over
whelming Republican majority in the next
House and the precedents Of injustice es-
tablished by the Republicans in the Fifty
first Congress" And the correspondent
adds that "in each Of the Virginia dis
tricts where contests are 70 be made the
Democratic candidates were elected by
such large major1ties that any sense Of
fairness at all would seem T. preclude
the possibility Of their being unseated."
Correct. Amy sense Of fairness at all
would seem to preclude the possibility Of
their being unseated."
All that these contestants have to go
on is the alienation Of candidates names
on the ticket used al the election. And
on this point they depend very much upon
the voluntary testimony of kicking DEM
ocrats Thorp hasn't been able to
make any Roadway against Mckinney,
and in the Tenth District wherever there
has been any recount Of ballots this has
been to the advantage of Tucker. 1t has
been clearly proved that the election off,
GERS did their duty, fairly and squarely;
indeed, that many of them were 50
anxious to be non-partIsan that they
leaned to Yosts side
Yes. we shall find that Thorp, Yost,
Cornett. and Hoge will have TO abandon
all their claims as to cheating at the
polls, and will rest their cases on the
alleged unlawfulness Of the alienation
system.
on this point our members are well
fortified. Not only did Attorney-General
Scott give 1t as his opinion that the order
and arrangement of the names on the
ballot were left to the judgment and dis
erection of the electoral boards, but others
Of the very best lawyers in this Common
wealth, who have likewise studied the
question, have arrived at the conclusion
that alienation was allowable and proper.
So. It would seem that even before a
Tom Reed committee and House the Vir-
ginia contestants will have little prospect
