If, in the election Of delegates to
the Hinton Convention, which will
elect delegates to the National Demo-
cratic Convention at Chicago, the
Democrats of Greenbrier, in their
district meetings, desire to make the
issue between the "sOund munev''
and the " free silver" factions of
the Democratic party, then, let it be
done openly and fairly, and with the
full understanding of every man
present. To this end let every man
who may be nominated as delegate
to the Convention at Hinton state
distinctly, in the meeting, on which
side Of the money question he stands,
and let them elect him with full
knowledge of his views. We hope
there will be a full turn out of the
people, so that, if this issue be
made, there may be fair expression
and one that will indicate the real
views of the people.

Letter From Mr.. Clark.

Editor Greenbrier Independent:
You will please say to the good
people Of Greenbrier that am for
the free coinage Of silver at a ratio
OF 10 to l. And for the accom-
Pills h mont of this end l am
willing to offer all the energies of
mind and body as sacrifice, (hum-
bic though they be) to what / hon.
estly believe to be the interest of all
the people, and to the restoration of
Jeffersonian Democracy. I further
believe that the ballot of '96 is either
to be the Yorktown of American
liberty, orithe Waterloo of our de-
feat in the surrender of all our lib
critics and the end of all our pub
lie institutions as free and indie
pendent nation. 1t is now admitted
by the ablest and best men of all
parties that the only issue now be-
fore the people is the money ques-
ton, and in this great army of pa
triots is it not necessary that every
officer, from the lowest to the high.
est, be in full sympathy with the on
ward march? Now, for this reason
say that your editorial, marked
L" Ill advised" is more applicable to
your own views, than that expressed
by the parties to whom you refer.
l now propose to all the candidates
that we meet the people at the fol-
lowing places and let our views be
known, viz:
Organ Cave, Monday, May 18th, at
p. m.
Blue Sulphur, Wednesday, May
nth, at p, IN.
Grassy Meadows, Thursday, Nav
18th, at p. m.
Ruperts, June 1st, at 1 p. m.
Williamsburg, June 2nd, at 4p.m.
Failing Spring, June 3rd, / p. IN.
frankfort, June 18th, at i p. m.
l will say to the people that some
OF us will be at the places above
named, and wish to see as many as
can come out. Very truly,
JAS. r. CLARK.

A Theater Incident.

numbered and to which l had gone
early to get good seat" said man,
81 found just the seat l wanted In the
fourth row from the front. In the seat
in front of me in the front row sat
man; the seat Immediately back Of him
was vacant, and the seat back OF that
and directly in front Of me was occu-
pied by small boy, sitting between his
father and mother. So that besides
good location / had an unobstructed
view, which was one of the things l
had in mind in choosing the seat. or
course had to take the chances on that
vacant seat, but the chances were at
least even that it would be occupied by
a man. and if it was taken by woman
there was q chance that she would not
wear big hat
"When the theater filled up, that
seat was taken by woman, and she
had on a hat which would have covered
the grass plot in front Of house In the
suburbs, and there grew upon it flowers
and things as tall as the hollyhocks in
the front yard of house in the country.
"But she had no sooner taken the
seat than she raised her hands and lift
ed the big hat off. My view was quite
unobstructed, after all, and ] felt that
had reason to be grateful. New York

Sea Water For City Streets.

The ancient idea of flushing the sew
ers and cutters of city streets with sea
water is being vigorously discussed in
many places. In England it has come
into such favor that proposition is
now put forward to supply the city Of
London with sea water. The water
would be taken from the sea at a spot
not far from Brighton remarkably free
from pollution. 1t would be pumped
into a reservoir Of 10000, 900 gallons
Thence it would be forced into another
reservoir, from which it would CRAWL
tate to London. The present consump-
tion of water in London is 200, 900, 900
gallons day, of which 100000, 900 gal
Ions is used for municipal purposes.
This might be saved for domestic pur-
poses by the introduction of sea water.
The cost of the project is put at 81, $780,
900, and the sea water would be sup
piled by meter for public purposes at q
fraction of the present cost Of fresh wa
ter. One watering Of the streets with
sea water is said to be equal to two, or
even three, with fresh water. 1t pre-
vents the decomposition of street refuse,
it is effective for flushing sewers, and
particularly valuable for the extinction
Of fire. OF its value to health there is
no doubt, and it would be easy to sup
ply it to hospitals and to schools for
swimming baths.

What About Leather?

The question is frequently asked;
What is a vegetarian community TO use
instead of leather? OF course substitutes
would have to be found. At present, as
hides are waste product, there is no
need TO seek further. but when they be-
come scarce other substances Will GER
tainly take their place. Other things
have already begun to compete with
leather. Formerly the doublet and
breeches and even bottles were made OF
that substance. Now we use cloth for
bookbinding and other purposes and
may have artificial leather boots. lie,
mand always stimulates invention and
production. IL may therefore be safely
predicted that to make ample provision
for our clothing, even under vegetarian
regime. is q task not beyond the re-
sources of civilization. We may be sure
that if we have followed nature thus far
and trusted her for our greater wants
she will assuredly not fail us In these
lesser things. --Westminster Review.

The Greek Olympia.

The Olympic festival, the details OF
which by common Greek consent were In
charge of tho Cleans, was supposed to be
under the direct care Of Olympian Zeus,
the father of the gods, and tho locality
where the sports were held was sacred
ground Olympia was scarcely town; It
was rather collection OF temples and
public buildings exhibiting the noblest
art of Greece in sculpture. painting and
architecture. The recent excavations made
by the Greek and Italian governments
(1s75-S SD have made clear to us the plan
Of the place and uncovered many interest
ing relics of ancient art. The quadrangle
called the Altis was peculiarly sacred, and
here stood the temples of zeus and of Hera
his wife, and of other deities, with the
treasure houses of many of the Crock
states In the midst was the high altar OF
the father of tho gods and near by the CO.
lossal statue Of him made of gold and
ivory by Phidias. the greatest of sculptors
"a work considered one OF the seven Won

contained greater marvels of art than
Olympia, for all the skill and pride OF the
Crock race lent themselves to making the
site worthy of the national Importance OF
