Proofs of PrOSperitY.

The Springfield Republican sums up
a review of the manufacturing stu
alton in Western Massachusetts in
these glowing terms =
larger production, fewer shut-downs
for repairs and none for lack OF work,
more mill extensions and new mill
building-more work, in short, more
wages, and, we hope, more profits.
such is the record, on the whole. Of
this varied assortment of manufactur-
ing as compared with year ago. And
the opinion is generally held among
manufacturers that the improvement
will continue and become more
marked"
1t is, as our contemporary well says,
"a remarkably encouraging story of
improvement, or recovery from the
long depression in business" in a sec
ton noted for its diversified manu-
featuring industry. Happily similar
reports have come and are daily COM
ing from other parts of the country

workers and business men from the

show that if the tariff is now let alone
the industries of the country will take
care of themselves. 1t is certainly a
promising outlook-except for the

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER18

Senator Martin again asserts that he
will not discuss the free coinage cues
ton until it becomes more OF direct
issue in State politics, but that he Will
put himself on record in good time.
This announcement will not please a
number of our contemporaries who
think and have declared that their
time is the ouly good time for Martin
to explain mself.-IadeG-A Appeal.
We do not know what Senator Mar
tins views on the silver question are,
and so far as the State canvass is con
cerned it makes no difference what they
are, for that question has nothing to
do with the State canvass, and should
not be introduced into it in any mode
whatever.
AS a sagaciods Democrat, Senator
Martin knows that the less said on
that question in the State canvass the
better for the Democratic party, and,
as we understand it, that is the reason
he declines to say anything about it
at this time, and, if that is so, he de-
serves credit for it, and is acting wise
ly in the interests of the Democratic
party. Those who are endeavoring to
inject that question into the State
canvass are acting very unwisely, If
they desire the success of the Demo
cratic party. There is time for all
things, but this is not the time to dis
tract and divide the party on ques-
ton that the State Legislature has
nothing to do with. 1t is suicidal fol-
ly, and is giving aid and comfort to
political enemies who have formed an
unholy alliance of incOngruous ele
ments against the Democratic party IN
this canvass, in which it behooves the
Democrats, whilst as innocent as the
dove, to be as wise as the serpent. To
ensure success, unity of the Democratic
party is an absolute necessity, and he
is practically an enemy to it who
would throw the apple of discord into
it's ranks, which, in this case, is the
silver question, which the State Leg
islature has no more right to deal with
than to issue declaration of war
against foreign nation. United, we
stand; divided, we fall"

Mahone's Honest (?) Election Law.

When the devil becomes saint,
Malone will favor an "honest election
law"
Of the one he has formulated with
the view of giving him the control of
the State, "a R. NJ in the Richmond
DisyGtch. says
General Malone "honest election
law" adopted by the so called non-par
tisan conference, is a very crude and
complicated affair, but the gist of its
sixteen pages is to be found in the selec-
ton of the members of the electoral
boards, of registration, and of the
boards of judges from different political
parties-an arrangement which places
the control of the entire election ma
chinery in the hands of the two minor
ity parties represented on such boards,
and effectually excludes the party
which in the last election polied the
largest number of votes from all par
ticipation in the decision of any ques-
ton these boards may be called on to
determine.
1t is admirably devised to promote
the fusion between the Republicans
and Populists, which the willy General
seems now working to effect, as it would
give them the control of every electoral
board and board of registration, and
majority of the judges at every election
pracinct in the State. The fine Italian
hand of the General is visible in almost

Death OF f. j. Snyder, Esq.

Flavius Josephus Snyder died of Or
ganic disease of the heart at the resi-
dence of his sister-in law, Mrs. Lu-
cinda Snyder, three miles west of Lew
isburg, On Saturday; the 18th instant,
aged "a years. Funeral services were
held at the Presbyterian church Sun
day afternoon, after which his body
was laid to rest in our town cemetery.
Mr.. Snyder was native of High
land county, Virginia, and a brother
of Judge A. G. Snyder of our town.
He served during the war as a member
of the 31st Virginia Infantry, G. S. A.,
and enjoyed reputation as one of the
best soldiers that went from Highland
county. After the war he attended
Washington. College and then took the
law course at the University of Vir-
ginia. He practiced his profession
here for some years, married Miss Sal
lie Cary of Lewisburg, and then NOV
ed to Pocahontas county where he liv-
ed until some time last year when,
owing to the condition of his health,
his friends succeeded in getting him
into the Lee Camp Soldiers Home at
Richmond, Virginia He was ON
leave of absence from the Home" at
the time of his death. Mr.. Snyder
possessed an acute and discriminating
mind, and had natural aptitude for
legal studies which. but for the I'M
fortunate habit that doubtless hasten
ed his death, would have given him an
enviable place at the bar.-GreenbTier

Mailing LibelOus or Obscene Matter.

The Acting Postmaster-G General has
affirmed the right of postmasters to
withhold from delivery newspapers and
publications which they may deem
libelous or obscene, or otherwise OBJ
noxious to the law defining unavailable
matter.
AS the N. Y. journal of Commerce
says, this is a large and dangerous pow
er to confer upon postmasters. Wheth-
err matter is mailable or not should be
determined at the Office where the mat
ter is offered for mailing. There, sub
ject to the judgment on appeal of the
Post Office Department, the postmaster
must decide whether matter is lawfully
mailable or not. After being admitted
to the mails, and the postage thereon
received by the United States, the
agents of the United States should not
be allowed to refuse to deliver the mat
ter. The postmaster has to know
whether the matter mailed at his office
is mailed lawfully, but he does not have
to know anything of the character of
the mail matter received at his office
for delivery, and he ought not to find
out. In every political campaign some
heated partisan who is also postmaster
refuses to deliver some campaign litera-
ture or newspapers of hostile party,
even without the backing of the De-
partment. With such ruling as Mr..
Jones has made multitude of little
political postmasters would set up to be
censors of the press. A New York or
Chicago paper containing an article on
Richard P. Bland would be very likely
to strike a Missouri postmaster, ap-
pointed on Mr.. BANDS recommends
ton, as libelons. The Government
must not receive postage from persons
Offering mail matter and then allow
one of it's officials to refuse to execute
the contract entered into by the Gov
eminent; the question of the admissi
bility of mail matter must be determin-
ed where the matter is offered for mail
ing and where the price of mailing is
paid. In the days of the slavery excite
ment no one thing angered the North
ern States as much as the assumption
by Southern postmasters of the right
to refuse delivery to Northern newspa-
pers.

Senator Mills on Silver.

Referring to the able letter of Sena-
tor Mills on the silver question, the
LndeG-Appeaz of the 18th says =
For many months Senator Mills, OF
Texas, has preserved a mastery silence
on the currency issue. He represents
State in which there is a consider
able number of populists as well as
democrats who are clamoring for the
immediate free coinage of silver at 16
to 1, independent of all other countries.
1t is fair to assume, therefore, that,
before he decided to announce his
views on the subject, Mr.. Mills gave
the question the most thoughtful con-
sideration and study. Unlike some
statesmen who profess to have mas
tered the subject with one nights re-
Election, Mr.. Mills took the whole sum
mer to digest the matter at issue and
to reach final conclusion. That con-
clusion he now states openly and fear
| lessly in thoughtful and able letter
printed in yesterdays Baltimore Sun.
He shows that the more than fifteen
million wage earners in this country
have everything to lose and nothing to
gain by system of finance based on
the single silver standard, with silver
constantly fuctuating in value and
the price of every commodity con-
stantly advancing. That the southern
farmer would not profit by the substi
tuition of the silver standard for the
gold is convincingly demonstrated
Altogether, Senator Mills has given
the practical, Woodworking people of
his State the most cogent reasons why
free coinage attempted by the United
States alone would depreciate the
value of their labor and their products,
and we think he has demonstrated the
impraeticability of the silver standard
beyond successful refutation."

Woman Murdered-The Negro Lynched.

A Woman Murdered-The Negro Lynched.
OsCEoLA, ARK, September 11-Mrs.
Rhea, living near here, was murdered
and robbed yesterday by two negroes.
Will Caldwell was blowing in a field
near her house and was approached by
an old negro, who told him that Mrs.
Rhea had a sum of money in the house
and to go and kill her and return to
work and he would get the money.
Caldwell went to the house, murdered
the woman with a club and then re-
turned to his work. The other negro
went to the house and secured the
money. Caldwell was arrested and
confessed. When he came into the
room where she was, club in his hand,
and approached her, she attempted to
get revolver off the mantel. He got
it first, struck her over the head several
times and left. Caldwell was taken
from the deputy sheriff and hanged to
a limb and then riddled with bullets.
The old man was arrested, but it is
probable that by this time he has also
been lynched. No late news has been
heard.

FormOsa- Urged Japan to Wait.

By the Commercial Cable to the Herald
The Herdlds European edition publishes the
following from it's correspondents
LONDON, Sept. Is, 1895.-Your CORE
spondent has been privileged to take
exclusive cognizance of Chinese official
dispatches regarding China and For
mosa, and these are the facts laid be-
fore him.
The statement that China invited
Japan to take possession of Formosa is
untrue. japan insisted on China s
giving up Formosa Immediately, con-
trary to Chinese advice. The Chinese
Ambassador, Ii Hung Chang, warned
Count Ito that Formosa was in a tur-
bulent state, and advised Japan to
wait till the island was pacified before
being given up.
"Formosa," he said, lis like piece
OF meat which is already in your mouth.
Better not swallow it at once.
Count Ito replied:-"But Japan is
hungry and wants to swallow it at
once. You will see that Japan will
pacify FOrmosa in fortnight"
China gave way and Loyalty withdrew
all Chinese officials, after giving orders
for general submission and disarma-
ment as far as such was possible where
so large proportion of the inhabitants
are half barbarians aud beyond con-
troll.
The latter refused to accept the Jap,
anese, and when the japanese arrived
and committed nameless outrages, muir.
dering both women and children after
violation, the whole population rose
and spread abroad in small hands, at.
lacking the japanese and retreating
into the interior.
If the statement about China's i'll
treatment of the Formosans is true
why, it is asked, do they refuse to re
ceive japanese liberation.

Among the resolutions adopted by
the Pennsylvania democrats at their
State Convention held ON last Wednes-
day is the following, which may be
taken as the answer of the Northern
democrats to republican criticism of
the tariff law now in force:
"As vindicating the principles of
tariff reform, to which the democracy
is unalterably pledged, we challenge
special attention to the fact that such
prosperity, and the consequent ma
pronounced in the industries whose ex-
istence our opponents claimed were de-
pendent on high tariff duties.
1--WE invite the attention of wage
earners to the fact that such thing as
the recent voluntary increases of the
wages of those employed in manUfac
turing industries, which amount to
not less than $125, 900, 900, was absolute
ly unknown under the Mckinley tariff
act"
That is very strong point, and as it
is well sustained by facts recently col
lected and published by the New York
Herald, we should say that our repub-
lican friends will find considerable diff
ficulty in inducing the people to be-
lieve that an agitation for high er
duties, unless purely for revenue, is
necessary at this e.-IndeG-Appeal
