speaking on Court Day.

Senator Hunton OF Fauq Ter and
Fl. V. Stray or, Esqr., of Rocking
ham addressed the democrats OF
this county on last Monday. Their
speeches were based upon the
decentralization Of silver in 1873.
AS the people of Shenandoah we're
aware of the tact that there was no
silver IN circulation in 1873, and
that if all that had been coined
were III circulation at that time,
there would have been only S,000,.
600 dollars, and that since tina,
time the government has coined
nearly 100000 900 silver dollars,
it is very evident that tue speeches
did not make many free silver
converts.
1t would have been inst as fair
to have told the people thai we
had no silver in circulation in 1873
and that in 1873 the government
commenced coming silver dollars
aud coined 500, 100000 of them
and that the more silver dollars
the government coined, the lower
became the price of wheat and
other farm products, aud that we
never did have such low prices
until the government coined silver
dollars Ivy the hundred million.

The sound money men want industries
established, labor employed, and the
products OF the farm enhanced in price
by an increased demand for them and
an exchange of farm products for good
sound money. The free silver doctrine
would keep farm products at the same
value but would debsse the currency, so
that the farmer would receive two dol
lars in name. but only one dollarin TACT.
Note the difference. The sound money
men would keep the money value sta
tionary while they would enhance the
price of products, the free silver doctrine
would keep the value of the products
stationary while they would debase the
currency. Which would help the far

The advocates Of free coinage OF silver
threaten that IL they do not get it this
time, they will keep sp the fight until
they do get it, What does this mesnS
Simply this: II the people OF the
United States determine to have good
currency, this party will continue to
produce dissatisfaction, have business
stagnated for four more years, prevent
laborers from getting employment, and
destroy hundreds of millions of property.
Can we afford it? Will the people OF the
United States stand IDLY by and permit
this craze to destroy their accumulated
property and their opportunities OF sup
port? We do not believe it. We expect
TO see the free silver craze crushed in
November by an overwhelming defeat.

the courage to do what is necessary.

This expansion began early In

Compared with this time one

nearly eigteen millions In the

At daylight was awakened by a

and broken to bits. The fungus was
standing five inches tall, having hatch

He then went to live with his half

to mathematics. This stood him in good

The future general and first President

riots-with Timoleon. with Cincinnatus,
with Hampden and William Of Orange.
1t is useless to compare. him with Napo-
leon. 1t were better to contrast them.
The great Corsican and the great Virgin
ian were entirely dissimilar. They be-
longed to different races and were cast in
different molds. The physical men were
wide apart in appearance. Washington
was tall, straight and commanding, with
the blue eyes of the Anglo-Saxon. Ma
poleon was short and corpulent, with the
sallow complexion and dark piercing eyes
of the Latin race. Washington was slow,
retiring and dignified; deliberate and calm
in speech and action. Napoleon was quick
and restless of movement impetuous of
speech and sometimes undignified in man
ner. But in moral greatness, compared
with Washington, he was a dwarf. The
one is the embodiment of human intel
lect and will, devoted, in the main, to self
ish ambition; the other is the noblest COM
bination of the moral and intellectual
faculties, inspired by justice and patriot
ism and guided by duty. The one is a
fiery, portentous meteor, seen through the
lurid smoke of battles, amid dissolving
governments and topping thrones and
quenched at last in utter darkness. The
other is an orderly planet In its appointed
sphere, a grand and quenehless luminary,
shining ever on with undiminished luster
lighting the world with liberty. in the Sc
rene, eternal heavens.

Homo of Myriads of Reptiles Acct
dentally Discovered.
Rattlesnake Greek, small stream
that empties into the Wabash River
from the north few miles from Lock-
port, is one of the most beautiful and
picturesque streams In Northern Indi-
ana. One of the descendants of pio-
neer settler in that region yesterday re-
lated the story that gave the name 20
this stream. Several miles up from the
mouth of the creek, near where the two
main branches which form the stream
meet, lived Mort Ellis, about fifty years
ago. The pioneers cabin stood OH the
brow Of long hill, at the foot of which
was spring which supplied the family
with water. In those early days rattle
snakes were quite numerous, and es-
pecially so in the Ellis neighborhood,
and the father cautioned his four little
girls to be very careful in their play lest
they be bitten. One Sabbath AFTERNOON,
as the children were playing in the
yard, one of the little girls, now Mrs.
Alice Wilson, of KokomO, suddenly
broke through the ground and fell into
an aperture up to her arms. Her cries
soon brought out the family. and in
drawing her from the cave three rat
tlesnakes were found hanging to her
clothing. Down in the small cave could
be seen many other poisonous reptiles.
Although ii was the Sabbath. and Mr..
Ellis was devout Quaker, yet he
deemed the occasion one of moment,
and he sent for several of his neigh
bors, and, with them, attacked the der
Of snakes. and when they got through
with their work 521 dead rnttlers were
piled up in the yard. An examination
disclosed the fact that the spring ut the
foot of the hill from which the family
used water was connected by a passage
to the snakes den.--Indianapolis News.

The WOrkingman,s Day.

Sunday is the workingman's day-a
day for well-earned rest at home. AT
the recent English Church Congress the
Sunday question was discussed. and
the strongest advocate of its religious
observance was workingman. Says
the New York Churchman's:
With remarkable effect, he challenged
those speakers who had advocated a
modified observance of the Sunday to
produce the workingman who would
defend the modern inroads upon the
keeping Of the Sunday as day Of rest.
1t Is worthy. of notice that as n rule
the son of toll is in favor of the Ameri-
can Sunday. Even when he is not a
church-goer. the steady and sober work
ingman finds his chief recreation in the
peaceful pleasures Of the home.
He does not seek the riOtOus beer
garden, he does not frequent the Sun
day concert hall, nor does he care to
break in upon his Sunday rest by the
noise and turmoil of railway ride. A
careful investigation of the manner In
which the workingman prefers to spend
his Sunday will prove that such is the

Brave Volunteers.

1t is gratifying to know that il we
had declared war with Great Britain
we might have counted upon the ALI
and one hero of the tribe of Sacs and
Foxes, for they have written 10 the
President asking for subvention Of
blankets, and expressing their readi-
ness to take the warpath Immediately.
Such reinforcement would not
amount to much in point of numbers,
to be sure. but its moral Significance
would count for something. The
isolated condition of England has
of late compelled attentions. she
has no friends among the Euro
pean nationalities, and it now
seems apparent that she has none
among the American wigwams. where
is was formerly supposed that she pro
served n good deal of influence. \
candid survey of the situation and us
causes will no doubt assure her that
she deserves her unpopularity. She
must correct her overreaching ways
before she can expect TO have any
friends, either among her sister nation
alities or the alien and sporadic abor-
igine, not taxed. The country will have
to decline the services Of the two vol
unteering braves for the present. but
Great Britain may see in their offer
what is inistnre for her If she should
ever show0a disposition to break the
