DEATHS OF A WEEK.
Death of Harry B. Lewis.

Harry B. Lewis, brother of r. C. Lewis, of
Elkton, died at the home of his sister Mrs.
Mary l.. MITCHELL on East Main Street, at a
late hour on Sunday night after short ILL
ness of typhoid fever.
Mr. Lewis spent several weeks at Rehoboth
this season and during the latter part of his
stay ut that resort, although unwell did not
regard his case at all serious, but upon his
return to Elkton his condition became alarm
ing and little hope was entertained of his re-
covery.
He was fo:ty-three years of age and a
gentleman of high social qualities, and the
news of his death was received with sincere
regret in this community. He was a son of
the late Norris Lewis, of Walnut Valley. Two
brothers and four sisters survive him:-R. G.
Lewis, of Elkton Joseph K. Lewis, of Sngerly
Mrs l. d. Carter, of Walnut Hill; Mrs. Nit
chell, OF Elkton; Mrs. Alexander, of Lam
caster. Pa; Mrs. Russell, of West Chester.

The funeral services took place from the
residence of Mrs Mitchell at ten o'clock on
Wednesday morning. The Rev. w. j. Fitz-
simon, of Zion, OBLIGATED assisted by Reys.
John McElmoyle and W. T. Valiant. The
lnterment was at Sharp's Cemetery.

FREE SILVER AND PRICES OF
EXPORTS.

characterization H. e. free coinage OF
silver will give us higher prices for our
exports and will make balance of trade
in our favor large enough to bring us both
English gold and silver. Coin, and Free
Silverites generally.
In this theory it is assumed that ere
monetization" would increase prices here
by cutting our dollar in half which would
be done at the 16 to ratio proposed l., and
that the eXchangeable value of our exported
products would also be increased. That is
to say, we would have more cloth when
measured by an lS-inch yard stick than
when measured by a 36-inch one, although
we continue to call the one-half Yards,
yards.
The fallacy of such reasoning--if it may
BE- dignilied as reasoning-lies in the fact
that prices of our exports sold in England
and other European countries are esti-
mated on gold and not on a silver basis,
and if we should appear to double our
prices here by making our dollar 80 cents,
it would have no effect on prices in Europe
where prices are estimated in gold. On the
contrary, the returns would be diminished
by the imposition of a brokerage charge
because of the fluctuations of silver.

BlME TALLISM WITHOUT GOLD

Mr.. Bryan and his free silver coadjutors
are making special efforts to impress the
country with the belief that free and I'M
limited coinage of silver at Is to | will
ensure double standa:d-bimetallism,
that they are the real bimetallis, and their
opponents are gold monometallists.
Coins Financial School makes that claim
for free silver when it says that 'higher
prices-bimetallic prices will come with
the reconciliation of silver Through free
coinage at 1G to ! by this country alone }
even though gold goes to premium"
This reminds one of Josh Billings quaint
remarks: at is better not to know so many
things than it is to know so many things

law of the United States that was not
pleasing to Congress they would increase
the number of judges and pack the court
to get decision to please them.
"Mr. Hill Ex-senator Hill" said in his
speech of this assault upon the court, that
provision, if it means anything, means that
it is the duty of Congress to reconstruct
the Supreme Court of the country. 1t
means the adding of additional members to
it, or the turning out of office and recon-
structing the whole court. l will not
follow any such revolutionary step as
that. ''-ExPresident Harrison, in speech

MR.. BRYAN'S TOUR AND ITS AC-
COMPARTMENTS.

The sophomorical political economist
Bryan, in sounding picturesque phrase and
graphic pictures of existing commercial
distress, continues his appeals for support
at Monster assemblages under umbrellas
in rain storms, from rear platforms CT
railroad trains, shakes the hands Of thous-
ands of his captivated admirers, and be-
comes too hoarse sometimes to say more
than that he wishes his auditors to study
the financial issue OF the present political
campaign, wherein, as he is fond of put
ting it, the rights, privileges and i'm
munities of the masses as against those
of the moneyed Glasses are involved
And in the newspapers of every day con-
tanning reports of his tlippant speeches,
indeed, in those of every other day as we'll,
careful readers have found item following
item recording business failures all over
the country, stoppages of manufacturing
establishments and consequent loss of en-
ployment by thousands of workers. and
evidences of general shrinkage in the
volume of business throughout the country
all betokening a financial storm and all
the result, unquestionably, of lack of con-
tidence in the financial status of the country,
inspired by free silver agitation which has
induced the boarding of gold, the shortening
of the line of discounts by banks, and the
Withholding Of capital from investment for
fear of the uncertain future. And all this
will go on until the Ides of November,
next, relegates Sophomore Bryan to his
meagre law practice in Nebraska.

Ii HUNG CHANG MADE A MISTAKE
DOcI6ed Years Salary for an In
suit to the Emperor.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 21.- Since the an
nouncement by cable that an imperial edict
had been issued mulcting Ii Hung Chang In
years salary for presuming to enter the
precincts of the ruined summer palace while
visiting the empress dowager there have been
numerous inquiries of members of the Chinese
legation from attaches of other legations, So
ciety people and others interested concerning
the exact nature of the offense Of the Chinese
minister for foreign affairs, and especially con-
corning the history of the ruined summer
palace and the reasons for the sanctity with
which 1t appears to be hedged about.
The members of the Chinese legation, how
ever, are firm believers in the proverb that
silence is golden" and, difficult as 1t Is at
most times to induce them to talk public
or private matters, 1t has been doubly difficult
to persuade them to solve the riddle of the ru-
ined palace.
The key to the mystery however, is now
given for the first time. The ruined palace,
at least so far as 1t relates to Ii Hung Chang s
Cffense, is merely a pleasurable fiction. The
facts that there are two factions at the
Chinese court one headed by some of the close
advisers of the emperor, ard with whom he
himself is in harmony, and the other headed
by the empress dowager. AS a result of this
factional fight exceedingly strained relations
exist between the latter and the emperor. Ii
Hung Chang is in sympathy with the empress
dowager faction, and upon his return to Pekin
he is understood to have paid his respects to
the ex-empress before making obeisance to the
emperor This was not only breach of offic-
ial etiquette that none but Ii Hung Chang
would have dared to perpertrate, but was also
regarded as an indication of his intention OF
going behind the throne and of endeavorlng
to bring the influence of the emperors adopted
mother to bear upon the imperial policy far
as Ii Hung Chang might desire to mold it.
Hence the wrath of the emperor and the con-
demnation of Ii Hung Chang in the self-same
proclamation that named him as minister fol
foreign affairs

WIRE NAIL TRUST MATTERS.
Prediction That War VIII BE Made
on the Steel Trust.

Cleveland, Nov. 22.-The news from Chit
cago of the collapse of the wire nail
trust was not surprising to some of the
manufacturers in this city. Ten days ago
it was predicted the trust would cut the
price from $3.50 to $1.75 key, to meet the
competition of outside manufacturers
who could not be bought up by the pool.
A representative of the Ohio Wire
Works Company, one of the Cleveland
concerns which has been controlled by
the trust, said today that his company
received notice a month ago that the
payment of subsidies would stop on the
Gath of this month. In consequence the
company has arranged to start "a ma
chimes manufacturing nails on the 18th of
this month. This manufacturer declares
the buying of competitors had become too
expensive and the trust was forced to
| quit. 1t is now predicted the nail manu-
| facturers who have been released from
| the trust agreement will combine to make
war upon the steel pool which has been
| charging discriminating prices for billets
| to wire manufacturers who are outside of
the Influence of the pool.

:ssED TO KILLING HIS FRIEND.
- Elliott Tells OF the Murder
II Guy 1 ItsOnpillar.

y IA, Nov. 22.-Charles B. Elliott
nov in the Douglas county jail, has con-
fessed to the murder of Guy Hutsonpil-
lar, his friend. In the Windsor hotel here
last Tuesday.
His confession covers 20 typewriter
pages. He says Hutsonpillar was about
to leave for Montana, and continues:
81 owed him SIS and wanted him to sign
a receipt for it, and he would not. I told
him / would not pay unless he did. He
called me fool, and said he would take
it out of my hide"
Elliott then picked up a coupling pin
and struck his friend, and becoming
alarmed at his hard breathing, went 10
a drug store and bought 10 cents worth
of chloroform, saturated a towel with 1t
and put 1t over Hutsonpillar's face. Ell
lett then left the hotel and took the
4:45 Northwestern train east, and was ar
rested at Cedar Rapids. He did not know
at that time that Hustonpillar was dead
He adds:
II only took $3.50 of Hutsonpillar' 8
money. The rest of the money found on
me, about $65, was sent to me by my un-
Gle at Akron, Ohio"

EXTRA SESSION TArk
psiefeS That Governor Bradley Will
Gail One This Winter.

frankfort, KY. Nov. 22.-Prominent pol
iticians are visiting Governor Bradley
daily with reference to calling an extra
Nsession Of the legislature State affairs
need legislation, but there is division of
opinion as to the effect of an extra Sos
sion on the senatorship. If no session is
held, Governor Bradley will appoint a
successor to Senator Blackburn March 4.
to serve until the next legislature is elect
ed. As the governor is prominently mem
toned for the senatorsnlp himself, the
position is an embarrassing one to him.
There are half a dozen other republican
candidates, and Senator Blackburn will
continue the fight to the las :, while the
friends of Secretary Carlisle are watching
the situation. 1t is the general opinion
that there will be an extra session, and
that there will be another senatorial fight
here this winter
Plans of Senator Blackburn.
Cincinnati, Nov. 22.-The Commercial
Tribune special from Lexington, KY,
says:
Senator Blackburn is here consulting
his friends and he has given up the
senatorial contest and determined to
make the contest for governor of Ken
lucky with a possibility Of securing a
legislature that would be more favorable
to him. Senator Blackburn is confident
he can secure the nomination for COVER
nor and that he can be elected. 1t is
stated that Senator Blackburn's present
action In declining to contest for the
senatorship is due to the gold democrats
refusing longer to stand by him as the
caucus nominee.

POLISH CATHOLICS MIXED UP.
Battle With Clubs and Missiles at
n Bay City Church.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. PA special to
the Tribune from Bay City, Mich, says:
The two factions which have been di-
viding the St. Stanislaus Polish Catho-
lie congregation for the past six months
came together today in a battle, in which
clubs and missiles were used and nearly
a score injured. The church was crowd
ed when the trouble began. Father Co
ganecki, the successor of Father Mat
howski, the former priest, whose actions
had divided the church and led to hos
Titles originally, scored the anti-Mat-
kowsh faction for purchasing a cemetery
of their own, saying they would be cut
off from all the offices of the church.
After the services, when Father Gogau-
ecki started for his mouse, he was forced
back into the church by the crowd A
squad of police tried to rush the priest
from the church to the parsonage. A
battle ensued, and many heads were
broken by the officers clubs. The pries1
was pushed back and finally toward noon
was escorted away from the premises
This evening the crowd dispersed.
