This work partly attracted our atten-
ton because Of the name or the author.
Some time ago there was noticed in the
Dispatch large genealogical work en-
titled "A Thousand Years VI Hubbard
History" patiently prepared by one Of
their descendants named 4. Warren Day.
Its illustrated pages show that many Hub
bards have been very wo.thy persons
educated. liberal, philanthropic. and pa
trlouc; and some OF them have figured
honorably In the history OF Virginia.
The work before US is OF a spiritualls-
tic character. BY its title Beyond" the
author does not mean only the great

condition which, In the course Of 200

complete wiping out of the city of New
Orleans. This scientific fact Is simply
that the bottom of the gulf Is slowly
sinking and the level of the gulf Is
rising higher each year. The tide
gauges and observations show that
within twelve years the level Of the
gulf has risen one foot. When the
Eads jetties were built 1t was decided
to establish a tide gauge and level
and to keep daily record OF the tides.
During the month Of July, 1894, and
last July, Maj. Quinn suspected that
the delta was gradually subsiding, and
during these two months tide gauges
were placed In deep water. From the
continuous record kept on these OBJ

on Doing without.

I suppose the mistake many Of us
mike in considering the subject OF
doing without Is that we begin at the
wrong end. We say: This we must
haye--and this and this" and before
our calculation Is over our money Is
gone. II would BE- more mathematical
to begin by saying: I'VE have SO
much money to spend. Now, how can
we divide this so as to get the most
good out of IT."
Spending Is much pleasaDter than
saving for most people, hut character
and real grit show In no way better
than in what we are able TO do with
out. AS each heart knows its own
bitterness, so each OF US knows her
own economies. Mrs. Ewing has a
pretty little story Of faithful soul
who scraped and scrimped and denied
herself that she might make little
presents to her friends.
'Owe no man anything says ST.
Paul. and ''be given to hospitality"
How the anxious housewife sometimes
wrinkles her brow over the problem!
We ought to give mp the idea, for
one thing. that IT is mean to look after
the small expenses.
II Is also true that a due regard for
our own comfort and self-respect in
our household arrangements will gen
orally please our neighbors and friends
as well as a strained effort to make
these arrangements correspond with
| their ideas.
With health and youth and good
| spirits one can endure many priva-
tions and lie none the worse for them.
And as help to the stoical. mascti-
| line virtue Of going without. steps in
| the deft, feminine virtue Of making
the most Of everything. II is almost

Is Palmer Responsible for Car
isles EgginQ?

Col. II. l.. Stone, who is well
known here, now an attorney OF
Louisville, and by the way is under
contempt OF court there, says through
the columns of the Louisville Times
that heretofore he had intended to
cast his ballot for Palmer and Buck
ner, but since that disgraceful act al
Covington-the egging of Carlisle-he
would vote for Mckinley and at this
place we nave heard of another who
would do likewise. From such testi-
mony we would conclude, in the alb
sence Of other evidence, that the
Palmer and Buckner followers were
the perpetrators Of this most con-
temptible crime directly, or we're &C
cessory to IL. AT least the Palmer
and Buckner ticket, IL seems from the
act of these gentlemen, must suffer
for this disgraceful conduct.

We do not doubt the election of w.
j. Bryan. If he is elected, it is cou-
elusive that the Congress will also be
Democratic. We may then expect the
enactment of laws placing silver on
an equality with gold. Then the pur-
chasing power of silver dollar will
continue to be equal to the purchasing
power of gold dollar in securing all
things raised and manu- featured in the
United States. Why so? Because
the United States Government shall
have decreed it, aud because money is
creature of law.
WHY, Then, dis silly talk about de-
preCiared money, and silver dollar
buying less OF ne recr-saries of life
when Mr.. Bryan i elected?
Most OF the Republicans and other
gold standard advocates are irving to
scare the timid into the advocacy of
the single gold standard, but Demo-
Gratis do not appear to be much scared.
Under the free and unlimited coinage
of silver, with powers equal in all res
poets TO gold, we may expect a large
increase in the volume of our money,
the volume to be increased as fast as
American labor and ingenuity can
convert gold and silver into bullion
and bullion into coin. Such coin is to
be a legal tender for all debts, public
and pr vlte. Is not this good enough
tor Americans? If foreigners are not
willing to sell their products to Amer
leans for American money let them
trade elsewherere.
II the gold advocates are sincere in
what they say,they would have us be-
lieve that they are very solicitous
about the welfare 0 foreign bond
holders. They will howl, turn red in
the face and fight the air and cry out
"dlshonor, reputation Why sol?
Because the democrotic party propose
to pay their debts in legal money, the
coin of the constitution, gold and sill
yer, the money recognized at the time
our bonds were issued and bought by
foreigners. Shame on the American
who thinks we are not able TO attend
to our own business and are so dishon-
est as to evade the payment of our
debts according to contract.

The election of Presideit is not all
that is needed to accomplish the free

and Senate on tie same line.

Classes Against the Masses.

The cry has been raised, aud by
men in this town, that Democratic
speakers aud writers are endeavorint
to array men against men, masses
against classes. Ii by this it il mean
that we are helping to convince tn,
great majority of our people, tina
their interest will be attained by op.
posing a financial ystem advocst' d
by corporations, trusts and other Fl
nanciers, in London and New York,
who have enlisted in their service
railroad attorneys, bank employee
and home merchants, all of whom
think they are thereby serving their
Interests, we plead guilty and have no
apology 10 make.
We do not appeal 10 the prejudices
and animosites of men; we would not
arouse hostile fl ing against men who,
in ways questionable, or by fair and
honest dealing, close attention to bus
mess and economy in expenditures
have been successful in business.
We do not approve OF the spirit of
envy often cherished against others
because they have accumulated more
of money or property than their less
enterprising and temperate and wise
neighbors. In this campaign we are
not assailing men of good character
but against unrepentant, self-convicted
debauches we have right to use our
influence. We are sincere in our ad-
rocacy of the silver plank of the Chi
cago platform. For this we contend
and in so doing we have the satisfac.
ton of knowing that we voice the
Democratic sentiment and policy, and
are not boilers against the decisions of
our State and National conventions.
We expect to work and vote for
Bryan and Sewall electors and to
share in the financial prosperity re-
-ulting from the enactment of laws
passed by men who, in Congress, will
crystali2e the sentiment set forth in
the financial plank of the Chicago
platform; we will vote. for Thomas
Y. Fitzpatrick.

do We Want Another Panic?"

l. q question asked by the Courier
journal, the chief of boiling journals.
l. makes the further statement that
Mr.. Bryan had said that "free coinage
would produce panic for time.
The Courier-Journal. according to its
garbling methods, quotes Mr.. Bryan
just enough to misconstrue his mean
ing. The Courier-Journal knows, as
Mr.. BRYAN does that the INSCRIPTIONS,
envious, covetous Eastern capitalists,
aided by England, would attempt a
pauic, not that it would be injurious
to their interests, but that 1t would
enable them to invest their money and
still lower markets and when the ei-
fects of more money is felt they would
realize the greater profits. For in
stance the farmers now covered with
debt; they would close in and pur-
chase their belongings at their own
price, and a year or so later sell it at
an advanced price. 1t would be their
same game of steal, and we will never
know how many thieves there are in
this country until we witness such a
precipitation. Is it better for us that
panic should come now or wait un-
til we are older and our debts larger
If men are to be wiped out is it not
better to renew life struggles now than
to wait until they are bent with years ?
II is reported that Mr.. Ingles has
said that the shock following the in
.auguration of bimetallism is his only
dread of it; that if he could be salts
fed it would last only few years he
would be in tor it. A great and
startling admission, this; silver and
gold, the two metals. should be used
but | am afraid it will hurt great in
terests for awhile. Had We not better
stand a shock of short duration than,
by the continual issuing Of bonds, the
increasing value of gold and decreas-
ing cereal and labor values, to heap up |
burdens until a crash comes and our
possessions pass into the hands of 9TH
ers? By such a statement we are re-
of the man with the aching
tooth. The doctor advised its extrac-
ton, telling him that it is the only
remedy by which he can get relief, but
he refuses on account of the immedi-
ate shock aud pain.
If there is to be a crisis more dire
full than what we are now passing
through, let it come; for behind these
clouds is shining sun, prosperity
which will bring joy to the oppressed
and starving masses. A vote for
Bryan and Sewall is right-about-face
with an onward march into the fields
of prosperity and vote against them
is a continuation of these hard times,
down dismal road into financial des-
melton
