CARLIsLE's BILL.

IhOsuAokIn y 0xAIAs
When Mr.. Carlisle's new financial
scheme was first made public, a certain
class Of men took hold Of 1t with q zeal
that kssw no tagging.
They sa,d that it was the very thing
needed; that II would furnish q remedy
for ali the ills Of thirty years of bad
legislation.
They YER going to pass IL in five
days, and start the machine to work.
They began to look to Mr.. Carlisle
% the Moses that was to lead us out of
the wilderness.
These mes, or, at least, q part of
them, It IL safo to say, jumped at their
conclusions from . study of the bill
that did not extend beyond the head
liaes Of tho metropolitan dsilies.
A conservative element in American
politics were not quick to pass their
judgment on the matter.
They waited until the enthusiasm Of
the bulls supporters cooled of a little.
They studied the situation; they
studied the bill. and, as q consequence,
the Carlisle bill has been withdrawn,
or, rather, amended to such an extent
that the bill now before the house bears
but few Of the features Of the original.
The present system Is bad enough.
The Carlisle system. 1t may be, could
not make matters worse, but even the
bill In its present form contains prop
ositions that cannot work successfully.
The Carlisle system gives US a credit
system of currency, and 1t is seriously
questioned ~ to whether the country
is just now ready to adopt such a
system.
The farming out Of the rights TO is
sue money to the banks Is another SER
ious objection. Holding n bank res
ponsible for the losses Of another is
another objection.
And the greatest Of all objections TO
It 10 that the people have not passed
upon Il. The correct solution Of our
financial ills, we believe, would be the
return 10 b~i-metallism. This Is the
voice Of tho sovereign people. This
they have tried. OF Its effects they are
aware. :.

-, u 1skfslature should do its
best on the election laws. They should
be revised rigidly. The recent hap
penings In Kansas City and st. Louis
prove this proposition beyond = doubt.
Tho motto for this, as well as all
ether legislatures, should be-: "Econ-
ony In public affair."" and by revising
a few laws upon the statute book,
thousands of dollars can be saved to
the people.

Here's a question The Man About
Town wants somebody to answer :
what can We do with q man who Is
able and won't work to support his
family, which family is in abject pow
erty, suffering, indeed, the pangs OF
hunger and the blasts Of cold; the wife
sickly, and the children not old enough
to be Of any assistance?" 1t Is an old
common law maxim, that there Is no
wrong without q remedy. l know Of
four or five families absolutely suffering
and yet the heads OF these families are
able to work, could get work. but won't.
A man who "a and will not support
those dependent on him Is no man and
has no right to wear the form. He Ii q
counterfeit upon humanity Of natures
basest metal. He is too mean to hang
and too villainous to 60 unhung. He Is
devoid Of a lofty human principle. A
question of right and justice, Of duty
and of honor, is as foreign to him as the
east is from the west. Hei Is q graduated
lieutenant Of the devil. He is as mean
as a brute. as contemplate as sin. He
is here in Lexington, be it said to the
shame of this city. What shall we do
with him l do not command English
well enough to express my contempt for
this scoundrel. and l believe all men
share with me my opinion. l believe it to
be a question for public sentiment to
settle. l long for the day when . united
people will brand the man, who makes
nc attempt to support his family, with
the epithetS he deserves. and with the
punishment that right and justice would
imete out to him.

Clifton, the home of Capt. John
w. Marsh, wore a gay and festive
appearance on the evening of July
Sd, 1895, as many friends gathered to
witness the marriage of Miss Sophia
J. Spence to Fred E. Runge. Prompt
" at 7 o'clock the bride and groom
entered the parlor accompanied by
the following bridesmaids and grooms-
men: Miss Lena Edwards and Ran
ford Marsh; Miss Sadie Riley and
Charlie R. Marsh; Miss Lilly Carmine
and Collie Edwards; Miss Alice Marsh
and William Williams. The groom
wore the conventional suit of black
and the bride was attired in beau
tiful dress, true description of which
is beyond the ability of the writer's
pen, sufficient to say it was both
beautiful and tasty. The ceremony
was performed in an impressive
though pleasant manner by our
genial pastor, Rev. H. s. Dulany.
After the ceremony all present adj
journed to the spacious dining room
where an elaborate collation. was
spread.

lie. the Candidates Speak Out.

MIR. EDIToR:-A vast majority of
the Democratic people of Accomac
being strongly in favor of the free
coinage of silver have right to ex-
pect from candidates desiring to re-
present them in the Legislature a
frank and public avowal of their
position on that most important and
vital question now before the country !:
an avowal that will not be am
biguous, obscure and uncertain.
Accordingly, it is hoped, that candi-
dates will have no hesitation in ex-
pressing themselves clearly on this
subject. This request is intended to
apply not only where Accomac is re-
presented alone, but also in conjunc-
ton with Northampton and Elizabeth
City. If, however, Major Baker P.
Lee shall be a candidate, as it. is
hoped he will be, it is not necessary
for him to define his position in this
matter as he has already distin-
guished himself as an earnest and
able champion of the free coinage of
silver. Nevertheless, it would be a
qualification to hear from him also.

Emma Ray,infant child of Mr.. Jno.
E. Mapp, Jr., died Sunday, July 18th
at Wachapreague of congestion Of
the brain.
Mr.. and Mrs. Will Wigton have the
sym pathy of all in their deep sorrow.
Day and night have they watched
and waited by their lovely little
Mary, whom neither medical skill
nor tender nursing could save from
death. Why this crushing of their
fondest hopes? Our Heavenly Father
may explain it later. Many relatives
and neighbors attended the funeral
conducted by Rev. W. W. Wood in
the Baptist Church. How sweet and
pure the baby looked in her casket.
Mr.. Tom Hope sang beautiful solo.
The flowers, lilies and roses, were
carried, and the casket borne through
the village by six little girls, Misses
Mamie johnson, Flora Miles, Lilly
Littleton, Lilly Shreves, Minnie Cor
yell and Mamie Price, while the
younger children gathered wonder
ingly around their little dead COM
panion. She sleeps in our City Of
the Dead, till Jesus comes, where we
hope Mary will meet and know her
parents again. w. w. w.
Modestown, July 10th.
Mrs. Mary Floyd, wife of DR.. G.
Fred Floyd, died at her home near
Bridgetown, Northampton county,
on Tuesday morning, after a short
illness, aged 81 years. On Wednes-
day, the remains were brought to
this county and inferred in the fami-
ly burying ground of her husband in
the village of louisville, after funer-
al services at the home of her father,
Mr.. E. B. Swanger, conducted by
Rev. Mr.. Garner, of the NJ. E. Church,
South.
Everyone who knew the deceased
will read the above with sorrow and
regret. The editor of this paper
knew her as an attractive, sweet
tempered, amiable child and in later
years: as a noble-hearted, conscien-
tious, christian woman. AS child
we taught her and loved her, as a
woman by her many lofty traits of
character, she commanded our afTec-
ton and esteem. The husband and
relatives of the deceased have our
sympathy in their great affection.

Mr.. George H. J. Edmonston, son
of the Rev. Geo. P. Edmonston of
this place, left on Tuesday for West
Virginia, to engage in railroad con-
struction.
The celebration at Wishart's Point,
July 4th, was success. Everything
passed off pleasantly though we had
a light rain late in the afternoon.
In the boat race the bateau Baby
Ruth" manned after President Cleve-
lands daughter,) won the flag. She
is a fine sailer and we doubt not will
bravely defend the flag she has won.
Our farmers are rushing their Irish
potatoes to market. The yield is
better than was anticipated, being
about three fourths of crop. Much
of the crop is being shipped on the
seaside. A schooner is now loading
at Wishart's Point for 20 cents per
barrel freight to Philadelphia. The
charge to New York is 95 cents. The
hay crop is good. Corn and oats are
looking well.

New Church,

Mr.. David j. Taylor died on July
I'd, at his late home near this place.
Messrs, Lloyd Birmingham and
Jos 7. Ruark left for Philadelphia
and other points last week.
Infant child of Mr. and Mrs. E. z.
Shockley died on the 4th inst, and
was taken to their late home at
Powellsville, Nd, for burial.
We are glad to report the fair and
festival held by our Baptist friends
on Wednesday, 10th inst, a success
both socially and financially.
Our farmers are busily engaged
shipping their potatoes at this writ
ing. Owing to the extreme dry
weather of some weeks past tie crop
is quite short.
The members of the N. P. Church,
a. this place, will have an all day fair
on Wednesday, July oath, at their
church. Dinner, supper, ice cream,
SC will be served on the occasion.
Children's Day will be observed at
our Baptist Church on Sunday, 18th
inst. The program and previous
efforts furnish sufficient guarantee.
that the exercises will be first-class.
During the storm of June 3Oth,
lightning struck q stable belonging
to Mr.. Ezra Taylor, at his home near
Atlantic, which contained two horses.
One was killed instantly while at its
box eating hay, the other was left
uninjured.
