Gov. 0'Ferrall on Silver.

A correspondent of the Richmond
Dispatch, writing from Allegheny
Springs where Gov. O'FerralI is stay
ing, reports him as giving his views on
silver as follows
81 am not welded to any particular
proceeding: II am a silverite and a
ing medium of both metals, which are
equally recognized in the Constitution
as the lawful money of exchange. Nor
am welded to any particular ratio of
equalization between gold and silver,
if they can only preserve a parity in
the commerce and exchange of the
world. But this parity ought to be
preserved. The trouble in my mind is
upon the question of this country un-
dertaking alone to determine a fixed
ratio of values without the co opera
ton of other leading commercial coun-
tries. Without this do not think it
can be done. l believe we cannot safe
ly enter on free coinage of silver at a
fixed ratio without an international
agreement. / am, in short, bimetal
list if there can be a concurrent under
standing and agreement between the
leading civilized nations of the world.
am for good dollar, whether gold,
silver, or paper. I want the silver dol
lar, which has been termed the poor
mans dollar, to be determined as
everywhere equal to the gold dollar,
which has been termed the rich mans
dollar. | want dollar, too, that can
be laid away, if the holder see proper,
with the absolute certainty that it will
be worth as much twenty years hence
as now. do not believe this can be
accomplished by this country going it
alone"

A bern Story.

Referring to the narrowing and re-
markable story told by John Dern of
Wattsboro, Lunenburg county, of his
mistreatment by his neighbors in that
county, and many charges against
them, Mr.. T. G. Matthews of that coun-
ty writes the Richmond Times that it
is ''tissue of falsehoods-in word, a
Dern story. His account was a great
exaggeration and most of hisallegations
false. but there was some truth in the
statement, as Matthews admits that
'some person or persons did go to his
house while he was at Lunenburg G. H.
and damaged his furniture" He adds:
II do not endorse this, nor do the
men who Dern swOre out warrants
against endorse it. They have a rem
edy in civil action, which l under
stand they will prosecute.
Ipassed Dern's house before his furni-
ture was put back in the house, and
saw it, and I am satisfied that his en-
tire furniture would not cost over 5000,
and this was damaged probably one
fourth-say $50 damage in all.
l think that the Germans who have
settled in Lunenburg (some of them
having been here about twenty five
years. will all testify that they have
received the kindest of treatment, and
all the encouragement our people could
give them. What have written above,
will be endorsed by every German set
tier around Wattsboro, l think"

As we have stated time and again,
the strength of the free silver element
of the Virginia Democracy has been
greatly over-estimated, and it is doubt
full if it ever was of such proportions
as claimed by those whose interests
were subserved by agitating the ques-
ton.
There are many reasons why the
agitation should be less effective now
than it was twelve months ago, but
the principal cause is the return of
confidence and the revival of business.
As Hoke Smith we'll said in his speech
in Georgia last week, there is always a
demand for an imitation of the cur
rency, it matters not how unsafe that
currency may be, during a business
depression and financial panic. But
with return of the usual conditions
and normal degree of prosperity, the
demand subsidies and the people renew
their confidence IN the system of fl
nance which has been tested and prov
ed sound to the core. Business is now
steadily improving; the wage reduc-
lions which were necessary last year
have been restored; the outlook for
bountiful crops is encouraging - in
fact, the country is once more on its
feet, standing upon a solid founda
ton. With this revival, the people
are thinking considerably less of cheap
money. but on the other hand are Civ
ing their attention to the means by
which they may accumulate more of
the money now in circulation and
which, to use the homely but exact
phrase, lis worth its weight in gold"
And as the times continue to improve,
we shall hear less of the cry for un-
limited free coinage of so cent silver
dollars, while those that are best quail
flied will address themselves to the
task of promoting the cause of prac-
tical metallIsm.-Inder Appeal

Temperance and Gospel Bushmeeting.
An Accident.

On Tuesday of last week began the
18th annual Temperance and Gospel
Bushmveting at Purcellville, Loudoun
county. which was largely attended
and continued for six days. The first
day was devoted to the Y. G. T. o.;
the end and 3rd to Prohibition. and
the last three were Gospel days.
On the first day-Tuesday-a sad ac-
cident occurred to the young members
of the Methodist Sunday-school of
Hamilton who started in large hay
wagon for the bush-meeting grounds.
The holses ran away and the young
folks, numbering eighteen or twenty,
none of whom was over seventeen years
old, were thrown off, with the result
that all were badly bruised and four
severely hurt. Clifton James, the driv-
er, had his shoulder crushed and it is
feared will die. Lizzie Warner had her
head badly cut. Miss Wine had an arm
broken and John Varney had his leg
broken.

Praise of Virginia Lands.

Mr.. Morton, Secretary of Agriculture.
has recently visited several counties in
Virginia, and he is represented as say.
ing that if he were to be asked to give
advice to young man, he would para
phrase Horace Greely's dictum and
say "Go to Virginia, young man.
Speaking of Loudoun and Fairfax
counties, which he visited the other
day, he said "To say that 1 was
amazed would not any more than ex-
press it. l was fairly astonished. I
never saw finer fields or better crops
anywhere. It's a garden. One has,
as some fellow said about some other
locality, but to tickle the soil and it
laughs with harvest" He declared
that the old northern idea that Vir-
ginia land was "back- broken by over
production was myth, and said that
Virginia land which would bring from
$55 to 800 an acre in Iowa or Illinois
was selling for SIS an acre in Virginia.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will he destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but an
lnfiamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

The syndicate which purchased the
last issue of United States bonds has
given a practical illustration of the
value of the contract made with it by
the President; namely, that it should
protect the Treasury from further de-
pletion of it's gold. Some two millions
of gold was drawn out recently for
shipment to foreign countries, and in
return for this the syndicate replaced
the gold and received greenbacks.
That is an earnest of the purpose of
the bondhOlders of the government,
under the arrangement made with
them, to protect the Treasury from
further raids upon its reserve, and
means a great deal more than the aver
age man can appreciate. 1t will re-
store confidence; it means already re-
stored confidence, to large extent.
The bond syndicate is thus standing
between the government and the dan
ger which has been threatening it on
account of the free silver agitation.
The circumstances shows to foreign
investors that great American capital
lists have SO much confidence in their
own government and so much conf
dence in the ultimate triumph of
sound money principles that they are
willing to stand III the breach and
take all risks that may appears to ex-
list to brighten timid security holders.

The disastrous experience of South
ern negroes who have recently emf
grated to Mexico and Liberia ought to
be conclusive proof that the negro is
not a success as a colonist and that
the South is after all the place in
which they will be happiest and most
prosperous. In Mexico the negroes
were defrauded and then left to starve,
while in Liberia he Jared little better.
1t requires great deal of executive
ability and the power to endur, hard
ships to equip a man for emigration to
a country where he must rely entirely
upon his own resources and exertiOns.
In his present development, the negro
has not the qualifications that fit him
to be a pioneer or colonist, and the
best thing he can do is to get down to
hard work in the South, acquire some
property, however little it may be, and
remain under the conditions to which
he has already adapted himself

The Lunenburg Case.

The Richmond correspondent of the
Petersburg Indec-Appeaz, undsr date
of last Saturday, says
'Hon. George D. Wise and Judge
Flournoy, of counsel for the condemn
ed Lunenburg negro women-Mary
Alternately and Pokey Barnes-have
returned to the city after visit to the
scene of the murder where they went
to gather information by which to be
guided in their efforts to secure a new
trial for the women. When seen today
they stated that they had conferred
with Judge Organ and Common
wealth's Attorney Neblitt, of Lunen-
burg, arranged for complete record of
the trial, which will be furnished by
the clerk of the court, and made per-
sonal Investigations into details of the
case. They do not agree with the judge
and the commemorative attorney
about many of their conclusions of law,
but are satisfied that they acted with
the highest purpose to do right. They
think the women are justly entitled to
a new trial and will fight hard to get it.
The attorneys found a natural senti-
ment of resentment among the Lunen-
burg people at the criticisms of the case
made by the newspapers of the state,
and deplore the fact that the judge did
not change the venue and have the al
legged murderers tried in some other
county when he perceived the strong
prejudice and abnormal excitement
that prevailed among the citizens"

A Church Struck by Lightning.

The Methodist Church of Quaker
town, Pa, was struck by lightning
Sunday and twenty persons were pros
trated. Nearly all of them were knock
ed senseless by the stroke, and it is
feared that deaths will result. DR..
Bowman had just pronounced the ben
ediction at the mornings service when
the bolt struck the belfry, running
around the edifice under the weather
boards and under the flooring. The
services having been all but concluded,
many persons were in the vestibule
and aisles of the church. Besides
those named fourteen persons were
MANNED and Scared. The houses of
the town were turned into emergency
hospitals and the victims are being
cared for.
Sexton Beauman had his coat torn
from his back and into shreds and one
of his shoes was stripped as if by a
knife. Minnie France was in her pew
when the bolt tore through the door.
Both shoes were torn from her feet,
the crown of her hat was wrenched
away, and her watch chain was melted
into liquid. James Hoff was Frustrated
in his pew and most of his clothing
was literally torn from his body.
Horses broke from their tie posts
outside the church and many of them
ran away. A veritable panic followed
the stroke. After the excitement had
subsidized it was found that the sixteen
hundred pound bell in the cupola was
hanging almost by a thread, while
fully one hundred persons were direct
ly under it. The edifice is almost a
wreck, as the lightning penetrated
from all sides.

The strike at the coal mine in the
Pocahontas region is practically off,
most OF the old miners going back to
work on the same terms that existed
when the trouble commenced. The
State has been put to great expense
and the mine owners and the railroads
have lost much money. but the chief
losers, and the only sufferers, have been
the strikers and those dependent upon
them for support. But the occupation
of those who order strikes, and who
live in idleness upon assessments paid
by those who work, would be gone if
there were no strikes. and SO they will
continue.-AleG. Gazette.
