WASHINGTON. Aug. 14-The officials Of
the legation maintain strenuously that
the Chinese government will exhaust every
offrot to bring the guilty to justice They
controvort in strong terms the assertion
that the matter will be left to a partial
commission. While admitting freely that
prejudice exists among some Of the lower
classes of the Chinese against foreigners
they contend that the Weather and bet
ter educated do not share that feeling.
The legation officials also refuse to accept
the statement that the officials in the
province in which the rioting occurred
were implicated in the occurrence. They
admit the possibility Of negligence, but
not Of culpability on the part of officials.
They also direct attention to the recent
decree Of the emperor for the protection
and liberal treatment Of missionaries
from foreign countries rs proof of the abb
sencc of antagonistic feeling to this class Of
foreigners.

Infirmfties OF the Veteran.
Ill.,, tt. IJ..1yy rff,o.J,f,,. rs.N

(Fgon me Herald, Woodsfoek, Va)
There IS an old soldier in Woodstock, Va,
who served in the war with Mexico aud in
the war of the rebellion, Mr.. Levi Mclnlurff
He passed through both these wars without
a serious wound. The hardships, however,
told seriously on him, for when the grip
attacked MIN four years ago II nearly killed
him. Who can look on the infirmities of q
veteran without feeling of the deepest
sympathy? His townspeople saw him con-
fined to his house SO Frustrated with great
nervousness that he could not hold a knife
and fork at the table, scarcely able TO walk
too, and as he attempted it. he often stumbled
and fell. They saw him treated by the best
talent TO be had-but still he suffered on for
four years, and gave up finally in despair.
One day, however, he was struck by the
account Of a cure which had been effected
by the use Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. He
Immediately ordered box and commenced
taking them. He says he was greatly re.
lieved within three days time The blood found
its way 70 his fingers and his hands which
had been palsied assumed q natural color,
and he was soon enabled to use his knife and
fork at the table. lie has recovered his
strength to such an extent that he is able TO
chop wood, shock corn and do his regular
work about his home. He now says be can
not only walk 10 Woodstock, but can walk
across the mountains. He isable TO lift up
itl-lMo louuu weight Win one HunN anu
says he does not know what DR.. Williams
Pink Pills have done for others, but knows
that they have done great work for him.
He was in town last Monday, court day.
and was loud in his praises of the medicine
that had given him so great relief lie pur-
chased another box and took il home with
him. Mr.. McInturff is willing to make afIi-
davit to these facts.
The proprietors of Dr.Williams' Pink Pills
state that they are not patent medicine but
q prescription used for many years by an en-
inent practitioner who produced the most
wonderful results with them, curing all forms
Of weakness arising from a watery condition
of the blood or shattered nerves, two fruitful
causes of almost every i'll to which flesh is
heir. The pills are also a specific for the
troubles peculiar to females, such as suppress
sions, all forms of weakness, chronic con-
stipation, bearing down pains, ETC., and in the
case Of men will give speedy relief and effect
a permanent cure in all cases arising from
mental worry, overwork, or excuses of what
ever nature. They are entirely harmless and
can be given to weak and sicl,ly children
with the greatest good and without the slight

Hoko Smith In DEFENSE OF honest money .
It seems to be pretty generally con-
ceded that Secretary Hoke Smith will
succeed as we'll Ia Georgia as Secretary
Carlisle has In Kentucky. in convincing
the people Of his state Of the fallacy Of
substituting silver lat more than Its
value or anything else for honest money.
The names Of Thomas Jefferson and
Andrew jackson are honored-we may
say venerated In the South. and Secre-
tary smith has made = strong point In
calling attention to the acts Of these
men and their experiments With bi-
metallism at which they both failed.
This Is what he says: When the act Of
1892 vas passed Jefferson and Hamilton
both determined TO make the new gold
and silver dollars equal In value to the
then standard Of measurement, which
was dollar equal to twenty four and
three fourths grains of gold. They
recognized the fact that the exchange
able value Of coined dollar must be
controlled by the commercial value Of
the bullion put into 1t. Therefore they
undertook to find how many grains OF
silver, uneoined, we're commercially equal
In value to twenty four and three fourths
grains Of gold. They decided that 1t re-
Quired fifteen times as many and multiply
ing twenty-four and three fourths by
fifteen placed three.hundred and seventy
one and ono-fourth grains OF silver In
dollar. This undervalued gold. For the
first few years. owing largelysto She lack
Of quick international communication,
1t circulated to limited extent, and
then long before 1884. went entirely out
Of circulation, and We we're on the
silver standard.
In 1894 Jackson sought to restore BIZ
metallism but he was unwilling to
change the standard upon which the
business WAS then being done He
recognized the danger to commerce Of
changing the standard. He therefore
reduced the amount OF gold put into
dollar, so that under the new coinage
the bullion value Of both dollars would
be Just squsl to the dollar then In use,
and At his instance a new ratio Of sixteen
to one was passed It was soon found
that this new ratio undervalued silver
and shortly after 1884 this country went
to the gold stsndard-twenty FIVE and
eight one hundredth grains Of gold to the
dollar and has been on it over since
with the exception OF the time incident
to the war.
Suppose we should try Ike Preaidenta
Jefferson and Jackson to make the
coinage value OF gold aud silver to
correspondents ratio would have TO be at
thirty to one and even that would bs
uncertain. At sixteen to one the gold
would disappear at Onoe-perhaps that is
what the silver men want.
