DEATH OF ALLEN G.. THURMAN.

The death of ex-senator Allen CRANBERRY
Thurman of Ohio, which occurred at Co.
lumbus last week, in his eighty second year,
has been recei we'd with genuine regret
throughout the country. He was a Vir-
ginian by birth, born in little tour-room
succeed house which is still standing in
Lynchburg. After service on the Supreme
bench of Ohio, he went to the U. s. Senate
in 1869, and in service there of twelve
years won national fame. His last appear
ance on the national arena was as candi-
date for Vice President on the ticket with
Mr.. Cleveland in 1888, and since that he
has remained quietly at home. Gov. Me-
Kinley of Ohio, in his order directing the
flag to be displayed at half mast over the
State capitol says: "Ohi0 has lost one of
it's noblest citizens" who twas states
man whose sturdy integrity and exalted
abilities were recognized not only in his
own State, but in every part of the United
States'' and whose ''illustrious career is a
conspicuous example of the possibilities of
American citizenship and is wo rthy the
study of the youth Of our State.''

4 COSTLY PIECE OF FOLLY.

Most public men of any force have
enemies. but Gov. O'Ferrall seems to have
had the luck of arraying against himself
some of the pettiest that ever tell to the
lot of any one man. As long as they con-
fined themselves to the ''spite work'' OF
the children, whom they seem to resemble
i'll their methods, is has been distinctly
their own affair, but when they come to
involving the State in 1t, it is time for the
grown people OF the State to put in word
OF remonstrance. We see statement to
the effect that it is proposed in the legisla-
ture to introduce resolution censuring
the Executive tor dispatching troops
to Pocahontas and maintaing them there
to protect the coal mining properties.
Without going again over the narration OF
discussion of the Incidents attending the
Governors action, we may say that the
action itself gained for Virginia reputa
dollars to her. 1t gave the world
authoritative assurance that every dollar
of capital from abroad invested in
Virginia would be protected from
the results of mob violence at
any cost, whether the mob were "union
men, OF what not. And it gave the fur
ther assurance that any man who was will
ing to work, whether ''union man. OF
what not, should be protected at his work
at any cost. That the legislature of the
State should contemplate for moment
the undoins and blotting out from the
mind Of the country the good impression
made by Gov. O'Ferrall' IS action, is so cost
ly piece Of folly that we cannot think it
possible. On the contrary. some true
friend OF the Commonwealth should intro.
duce resolution heartily endorsing that
action and thereby make still more endur-
ing the good name given his State by it.

These are the demands in sight in the
first week Of the session. How many new
ones will be made, it is impossible yet to
say.
The only additional revenue to pay this
$4,000 with, is $50, 900 derived from the
tax on the $11 100000 increase Of assessa-
BILE values yielded by the last assessment.
The great and earliest subject Of study
for legislator this session should be the
financial condition of the State. Each
member should get that information for
himself, and not take his chances to get it
from enthusiastic speeches made by other
members advocating appropriations.

the Federal Money SYSTEM is the title Of
work by ArmiStead C. Gordon Of Staun.
ton, just published by g. P. Putnam e
Sons. New York and London.
There has not been time in the last
forty years when the subject of currency
held SO Important place in the United
States as now, nor time when the people
were SO mentally tangled up about it.
Men, many OF them Of political prominence
have leaped into the arena and begun
teaching with about the information that
a school boy might be supposed to have.
1t has been a field for doctrinaires, for
quacks, for men with knowledge and with
out it. 1t is not surprising that the people
have looked on and listened in despair. It
was high time some one should appear who
without the tricks Of charlatanry, without
attempting to prophecy how high this tide
OF that may be, OF how strong this wind
OIL that may blow, OIL how deep or shallow
The water ahead may be-. should give us a
reliable chart of the seas over which the
the financial ship has come thus far.
MI. Gordon has done this. He has with
notable absence Of all partizanry given us
history of the currency authorized by
congress for the last thirty-three years,
and all the financial methods with which
it has accompanied it. When the reader
finishes bis book he has made this unquali-
fed gain-he is able to intelligently under
stand all that may be said in the now
raging currency discussion. He knows
without partizan bias what every note
issued by the United States is and its
status, and equally as much of the gold
coin, silver dollar and subsidiary coinage.
the clearing house and the sub-treasury.
He knows .he birth, history and status of
National Bank notes, the gold certificates.
silver certificates, Treasury notes and
currency certificates, Of even the existence
OF many of which the average reader is
uninformed. MI. Gordon makes no argu-
ment on gold, silver or anything else, and
studiously observes the attitude of impair
tiality, and silverite OF gold bug may
read his book with equal pleasure and
benefit. For it is work on which much
research has been expended, research
which has dealt not only with authorities,
but with original sources. And the author
has carefully endeavored to avoid the con-
fusing technicalitles Of the finance doc
trinalre and made it book for what
Abraham Lincoln calls ''the plain people. ~
The volume is dedicated ITO the memo
ny of Gen. w ilIiam f. Gordon of Virginia,
Author Of the Independent Treasury OF
the United States" of whom Mr.. Gordon,
our author, is grandson.
For ourselves, it has confirmed US in
the belief that this government should
be withdrawn from the banking business
in every shape, and should turn it over to
the people, where it belongs.
The book is for sale at w. L. Olivier's.

CURED BY SUN BATHS.

Happy Recovery of ParalytIc Through
n Resort to Exposure.
The liveliest passenger on board the
steamship City of Peking was Hum
phrey Kendrick, of Los Angeles. He
had just returned from Japan, says the
San Francisco Chronicle, country that
he loves, because few years ago it COM
pletely cured him of paralysis.
When Kendrick found that he had
lost control of his limbs he determined
to spend all the money he had to get re-
lief 1t was easy enough to tell what
had brought the paralysis upon him,
for the first stroke came soon after he
had bad tumble on horseback. The
animal fell in such a way as to catch
Kendrick squarely beneath it, severely
wrenching and straining his spine.
Kendrick found that he was much bet
ter in hot weather, and this led him to
go to the Hawaiian islands. He was so
much better there when it was hot that
he concluded to go to q still warmer
place. Somebody told him that the
south coast of Japan in summer was
the place.
For many months during that hottest
of hot summers Kendrick engaged in a
most unique attempt to regain his
health. For days at a time. he would
lie positively stripped to the skin in the
hot sand on the seashore Of Japan. He
got so that he rather liked it. AS the
days passed he kept getting better
Then he took to seeking exercise. A
donkey was secured and Kendrick, stark
naked, would ride the animal up and
down the beach. It was almost too hot
for the beast, but Kendrick did not seem
to mind it.. The result was complete
recovery. Kendrick came back feel
ing like schoolboy and much infatu
ated with the country of the Japs.

How She Saw q Whale.

"Did you see any whales while cross
ing the At!antic?" said the stay-at-home
girl to the travelled damsel.
"No-that is, yes. 1 saw a whale by
proxy, mean"
''How on earth could you see a whale
by proxy?"
"It was this way: had seen twenty
three sharks, by actual count, but not q
single whale. There was a nice young
man aboard who had seen two whales.
He suggested that 1 trade of ten of
nv sharks for one of his whales, which
1 did. That left me with thirteen
sharks and one whale. That's how I
saw whale by proxy."-Judge.
