AS A MONEY QUESTION.

We are glad to see that the Governor
until there is an end to danger of Interrupt
ton of the wOrkmen there. The Harrison
burg Guards were sent on Monday to re
lieve the company on duty there. The
force kept at Pocahontas is small, but it is
Il Sign painted in big letters that Virginia
intends both capital and labor. to be pro-
tected within her borders, and that small
force represents thousands more where
they came from, who will he sent to the
spot if occasion require. The expense of
keeping troops at Pocahontas is about
$50 600; the Norfolk & Western Ry. Co.,
whose property is protected, pays the State
ESQ, 900 year taxes, and the mines that
are being protected pay large taxes. AS a
twenty thousand dollars to assure capital
that it will be protected at any cost in this
State, and as question of justice, dollars
do not count in comparison with protect
ing every man who wants to work, in his
right to work unmolested.
''The free coinage men, or the conservative
ones of them, in this locality, say that to ex-
change fifty cents worth of silver for one dol
lar in gold is absurd, but they say If this gov
eminent would authorize the free coinage of
silver and put it on the same plane with gold
as money of final redemption. that tile price
of silver bullion would be at once advanced
hot in la VIII 10 f1,o ci1 in,
a silver dollar would be equal in value in the
market to the gold in gold dollar.-Loascloatn
Mirror
Then this free silver movement may be
set down as simply an effort to raise the
price of silver for the benefit of the silver
miners. The price is to be Eat once ad-
vanced - for the benefit of the Nevada
miner though it will not cost dollar more
for mining it. With this prospect of pro
fit, it is not surprising that the silver kings
furnish the sinews of war in advocacy of
free silver. But what of the people; what
do they gain by the price of silver being
advanced by artificial means. The whole
gist of the matter is that the miners want
legislation to do for silver what it cannot,
for lack of value, do for itself.
In fact when we recollect that the gov
eminent has found it impossible to circu-
late the silver dollars among the people;
that though it pays the expressage on them
to all parts Of the country, they soon return
to the Treasury, and that out of 1923, 277,-
2l9 of standard silver dollars coined by the
government there are 1870, 464, $40 still IN
the Treasury vaults, and only $51 1852 ,691
in circulation among the people, it looks
to us as if this free silver business
was regular bunco game of the silver
miners.

STAND.
Judge j. l.. S. Kirby, of Staunton, was then
put on the stand by plaintiffs counsel to
testify as to his knowledge Of Mr.. Massey's
general reputation. The witness, in answer
to questions by Mr.. Thorn, said he had been
knowing Mr.. Massey for a long time and thai
his reputation for veracity and honesty was
very good. In his crOss-eXaminatiOn and his
re examination Judge Kirby stated that he and
Mr.. Massey were related by marriage, as
were he (witness) and Mr.. Gibbs, business
said that Mr.. Massey and Mr.. Gibbs We're
distantly related.
THE EXPENSES OF THE TRIP TO CANADA.
Mrs johnson, wife of the Rev. DIR. II. E.
Johnson, of the NJ. E. Church South of Vir-
ginia, and who was the widow of Mr.. Andrew
j. Parish, before her second marriage, was
called and testified as to the statement &C
credited to her to the effect that Mrs. Massey
had said Mr.. Womack had paid the expenses
of Mr.. and Mrs. Massey upon the occasion OF
their trip to Canada, in 1892. Mrs. johnson
was questioned by ex-Judge Heath. She
stated that she had a conversation with Mrs.
Massey shortly after her return from Toronto.
Mrs. Massey said that she had a delightful
time. That Mr.. Womack, who was along.
was charming railway companion. lie had
checked their bagge, arranged their schedules,
paid their bills, &c.
Being cross-examined by Mr.. Nicely, Mrs.
Jahnson said that the impression created upon
her mind was that Mr.. Womack had paid the
bills out of his own pocket, though it was a
delicate matter, and she had not known Mrs.
Massey long and she did not question her
further. Mrs. johnson said that she had
read the article in the Pilot, and that it had
caused doubt to arise in her mind as to what
Mrs. Massey had intended to convey by what
she had said as to whose money was used in
defraying the expenses of the Canadian trip.
great deal of wrangling was indul ged in
by the counsel in the case. and the question
was finally asked Mrs. johnson if she had
not made the statement that Mrs. Massey

WHAT Mr. WILSON SAID.-The
Washington, ID. c., National In
telligence in a recent issue says:
The Richmond Dispatch in dis
cussing Postmaster General Will
sons speech at Morgan's Grove, W.
Va, quotes from Mr.. Wilson as fol-
lows:
L" Mr.. Wilson said that the peo-
pie were now so close together on
the tariff that it was no longer a
partisan question. He believed that
a new era of prosperity was now
dawning for the American farmer.
When President Cleveland took his
stand for sound money, prosperity
began to plume itself for such a
fight as had never come to our peo-
pie. The tariff laws enacted by the
Congress were supplementary to this
beneficial legislature"
The Dispatch then says
I" Did Mr.. Wilson speak for
President Cleveland when he said
that the people were $50 close to-
gether'' on the tariff that it was no
longer a partisan question How
different is this utterance from the
hard things which were said of Mr..
German because of his action on the
tariff in the last Congress"
Is it true that the members of
Mr.. Cleveland's administration can
find words of praise for the results
of the tariff bill that Mr.. Cleveland
refused to sign, and which now &C
cording to administration organs
is producing all the prosperity for
which the United States should be
so thankful?
The Dispatch Is correct; this IS
very different from the abuse heaped
on poor German.
German the man who saved the
country from the force bill. Cor
man whose skill and diplomacy sue
ceeded in adopting the bill that
passed the Senate and became the
tariff law of the land.
The law under which all of our
prosperity arises. German without
whom the Wilson bill would have
followed the woodbine in its Irvine.
German, the astute, the cool, the
calm, the intelligent American
statesman with few equals and no
superiors.

subject of my remarks. All medical skill was

summated- He was perfectly resigned to de
whatever was the Blessed Lords will, He Of
ten told during his last illness, whilst he
would love to remain with the loved ones TO
whom he was SO much endeared, yet he was
ready to go ut any time he was called. He was
truly prepared TO meet his God. having receiv-
several times during his sickness and few
days before his death. Although have fol-
lowed many of my friends to their last resting
place and stood by the grave of many near and
dear TO me, but truly this is the first time that
the grief of death has ever pierced my heart,
for took death as consolation that we would
all follow them some day, but when IL has ia
ken from you kind and loving father, as is
exemplihed in my own words, there isn't much
consolation in this world. He was a true Chris
tian, a devoted husband and indulgent father.
He bore his sufferings with resignation, rely
ing on our Saviour's words for peace in the
world to come, where sickness, sorrow and
pain are unknown.
Dearest father, thou hast left us
We thy loss most deeply feel,
But the Just God hast bereft US,
He will all our sorrows heal.
Farewell. father, we have laid thee
In the peaceful graves embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face.
