LORD RUssELL IS COMING.

Lord Russell will visit Philadelphia
and the Law Association is already
making preparations to give him re-
ception and banquet at the Lawyers
Club, in the Betz Building. 1t is
likely that Chief Justice Lore, Senator
Gray and other Wilmingtonians, who
met the distinguished jurist at the
meeting of the American Bar Associa-
tion at Saratoga, and others who fire.
quently participate in the public func-
tions of the Lawyers Club will be
among those who will welcome the
lord chief justice to Philadelphia.

II would seem from this that the risl

the Antarctic region makes It more diff.

Still, It is not altogether an unknown
country. SO long ago as 1921, a Russian
expedition was sent South, but It ac-
complished little by way of discovery
The vessel reached SO degrees, 3 min

in this direction was in 1889, when Sir
J. Ross with the Erebus and the Ter
ror, started on his memorable expedi-
ton. In 1S41 he crossed the Anarctic
circle and broke through the ice pack
and, on January p, 1912, discovered
the "southernmost land in the globe, -
and saw Mount Erebus for thefirst time.
The highest latitude attained was 78 de-
grees, south. The discoveries made by
Sir J. Ross discouraged explorers in
the Arctic regions for many years, but
in 1895 a Norwegian whale hunter
pierced the ice pack on January 13 and
attained "A degrees, 10 minutes south.
The captain noticed a strong tidal cur
rent flowing south along the coast Of
Victoria Land. At the same time a
large jelly fish, which has never been

Edlt0T Hpun OF JEFFERSON:
The Free Press appears to find equal incon-
sistency in a Democrat to vote for a Populist
elector as to vote for the Palmer electors.
Why, sir, the difference is as great a. anything
can DO, The effect of n Democrat in voting
for n Populist elector is to defeat Mckinley
ism. whist the effect of Il Democrat voting for
q Palmer elector is to aid McKfnleyism. We
were taught in the last campaign so mu:h
about the evils of McKinleyism. IL the evils
the duty of all good Democrats then to get rid
of these evils, is it not his duty n NV to do the
same? Then Democrats of Jefferson county do
your duty, and vote for the party nominee
Don't let n difference in the Chicago platform
stand between you and duty, aud don't lose
your reputation for party feal;y You have
throughout the whole State. So well is our
Democracy established that when calculations
are made as to the vote of each county, where
the party vote in each county is put down as
probable, the vote of Jefferson is put down as
positive.
Take Lessons of some of our c~ouuty's Re
publican farmers, who as farmers cannot be
at heart anything else than free silver men, as
they have every reason to expect under silver
higher prices for their product, yet so firm is
their loyalty to party that their party candi-
date gets their vote.
Another thing, we will lose our power in
the various conventions, and have our repre-
seutation cut down; but still worse the silver
men know that their candidate is a majority
candidate. regular in every detail; they expect
better times, u more prosperous condition of
affairs, and they Will never affiliate with the
men who stand in the way of their better
times. Mr.. Bryan has spoken the word that
no bolter need apply, and every silver man
responds to the sentiment. Democrats of
Jefferson, stand together and keep in line.

eismark a BimetaHist.

DALLAS, TEX, Sept. 19.-In a
speech tonight Gov. Culberson read
the following 81 gnificant correspond
ence between himself and Prince
Bismarck on the money question:
"Prince Bismarck:
"Sir: The great question of fl
nance is now of supreme interest TO
She people of the United States. 1t
is presented in various forms, but in
a general way ii may be said 10 be
first, whether the United States
shall adopt the single gold standard,
or second. whether they shall adopt
bimetallism with both gold and silver
as the standard or primary money
The argument in favor of each is well
known TO you, but it is particularly
insisted that we should adopt the
policy of himetallism because the sup
ply of gold in the world for coinage
is insufficient to meet the demand,
and because such a standard will
still further depress the values of all
property.
(Which, in your judgment, is the
best policy to adopt, the gold stand
ard or bimetallismS giving your rea-
sons?
"What effect, in your jugment, will
the immediate adoption of bimetal-
lism by the UnitedStates have on the
cause of bimetallism in Germany and
other great commercial nations?
&c. A. CULBERSON,
"GoveGor of Texas"
In reply Prince Bismarck said:
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, Aug. "a, 1896.
.,Honored Sir: Your esteemed
favor has been duly received. 1 hold
that this is the very hour that would
be advisable to bring about between
the nations chiefly engaged in the
worlds commerce q mutual agrees
ment in favor OF the establishment
of bimetallism. The United States
are freer, by far, in their movements
than any nation of Europe, and,
hence, if the people of the United
States should find it compatible with
their interests to take independent
action in the direction of bin~ietallism.
L cannot but believe that such ac-
ton would exert a most salutary in
fuence upon the consummation of
international agreement.

Bryan in West Virginia.

Hon. VIM. ]. Bryan was greeted
by a large and enthusiastic crowd at
Harper's Ferry last Wednesday, and
made an able speech of twenty
minutes from a stand at the foot of
Shenandoah street. which, with
banners and decorations, had been
provided by the wise foresight and
energetic action of Col. j. Garland
Hurst, and Missrs. c. B. Wentzell
and T. j. BurIeigh and other.
AT Martinsburg an immense
throng met the special train which
bore Mr.. Bryan, Tin the Immediate
charge of national committeeman
Hon. John T. McGraw,) and he was
escorted through the town by alarge
body of mounted Jefferson county
Democrats, under command of Mr..
B. C. Washington. President of the
Charles Town Club. The speaking
took place on an open lot nea the
C. ". Railroad, and thousands were
there to hear the distinguished
orator.
After leaving Martinsburg Mr..
Bryan spoke at Cumberland, Keyser,
Grafton. Clarksburg, Wheeling,
Parkersburg, Charleston and Hunt
ington, and his itinerary through the
State was a continuous ovation.
The Charles Town Cornet Baudac-
companied the Charles Town Club to

a Strong Speech.

The good people of Halltown and vicinity
were agreeably entertained on Saturday eve
ming, October 3, IN listening to an able ana IN
strucsive address delivered by judge Frank
.Beckwi,ii.
Judge ieckwith was present at the invita-
ton of the Bryan aud Sewal Club recently or
ganized. and commenced his address by de-
fining the meaning CT the term money" its
uses as n means of facilitating the exchange
of the products of labor: its necessity as q
means of maintaining q high grade OF ctyIi-
cation. and its effects upon the condition Of
the human race rs n whole, in accordance
with the increase or diminution of its volume.
showing by conclusive arguments that without
a fair amount of circulating medium ciyiiiZa-
ton must rctrograde, and then prosperity
among the masses disappear from the earth.
As an Instance IN support of this view he cited
the condition of the people OF Europe during
the dark ages as contrasted with what II had
been during the palmy days q the Roman
Empire-the amount of money (reckoned ac-
cording to our standard) in circulation during
the reign of tue Caesars. having been nearly
two billions of dollars. had dwindled down to
less Than three hundred millions in 4 few cen
turtles succeeding the deceadence OF Roman
supremacy.
Passing next to the consideration OF the ac-
cumulation and existence of wealth. he claimed
that it was altogether the result and product
of labor, no matter in what form it might ex-
list, and could not be procured by any other
means. In regard to the demonstration of
silver on the part of the United States. he as
serted that IL was never desired or asked Tor
by the people, that it was without Justification
or excuse, and was brought about by a few
individuals for the sole and only purpose of
enriching themselves and others of u like
class, regardless of its effect upon the great
masses of tina people. In support OF this view
he showed that the predictions OF those who
opposed it-as to its bad results-were fully
vindicated by existing conditions.
As to the ability of the United States to
alone maintain true bimettalism by admitting
silver to the same rights of coinage as are ac-
corded to gold. Judge B. commended that we
were Just as well able to maintain q financial
system suited to the ideas and needs of our
own people as we are to maintain q form OF
civil government of our own choosing. regard
less of what other nations might think OF
either. +. s. ID.
