Mr.. Rouss and His Dead.

The Winchester Times In speaking
of the visit of Mr.. Charles Broadway
Rouss to the graves of his dead in
Mt. Hebron Cemetery, when at the
Winchester Fair, says:
This is a sacred duty that Mr.. Rouss
performs upon each of his visits to
this place. His Mother. father, two
sisters and his son "Charlie'' are
buried in a most beautiful plot known
as "Rouss Lott" in Mt. Hebron.
The love which he bore for his boy
siCharlie,'' is welI-known TO u read
ers. All his hopes had been centered
in him, but alas, grim death invaded
that home and carried off his precious
boy who had been engaged inbusiness
with his father for some years. To
show the love the father bore toward
his son we reprint the following,
which Mr.. Rouss wrote a few days
after the death of his son:
son April 18th, Charlie n. B..
Rouss, the rite hand of the concern,
gave the ritter the last melancholy
glance of recognition and past out
into the unknown eternal, and nextoa
took his last ride downBroadway. On
Friday he was laid at rest with martial
honors. alongside my Father and
Mother and my Sister on the daisied
Heights ofHebron under pyramids of
fiowers-tokens of affection from his
many friends there as well as here.
/ viii always remember with grateful
appreciation the touching kindness
and sincere sympathy of the dear old
town.

G. Broad,oay Rouss.

H~AGERsTowN, Mp, Sept. 6.-Mr. Chas.
Broadway Rouss, the millionaire merchant
of New York, in a letter dated September
on the political situation, heartily iudorses
the nominees ofthe Indianapolis convention
Mr.. Rouss says: ''The item going the
rounds of the press stating that / am for
Mckinley is not true. Mckinley prides
himself upon being the special sponsor of
political doctrine which I consider only
next to free coinage in its evil tendencies.
Yoked together Bryan and free silver and
Mckinley and protection would be congo
NAL companions. The only ditFer ence be-
tween them is that, under one the country
would be afflicted with a slow and lingering
disease, which stood some chance of being
cured by awakened public reflection and
enlightenment; under the former destruc-
ton swift and irremediable would come in
evitably and terribly. Therefore, as be-
tween Bryan and Mckinley, 1 might have
considered it my duty to elect between the
lesser of the two great evils in favor of the
tariff robber.
"Yet with a true representative of our
party IN the neIu IKE tDat OIu Roman, JnO-
NJ. Palmer, of Illinois, and that not less
equally incompatible and soldier statesman,
Simon B. Buckner, of Kentucky. my course
is plain. L will vote with all true Demo-
Gratis for the men and platform that stand
by the ~time-honored principles of Jefferson
and Jackson, and may / not add of Grover
Cleveland?
sin doing this we shall not only have
placed the seal of condemnation upon that
socialistic, anarchistic and populistic spirit
which, Invading the household of both of
the great parties, seeks to put upon the
country the stain of reputation and ma
tioaal~ dishonor, but We shall have preserved
the life and honor of our party so that at
the next National election it will be strong
to battle for the right and the great inter-
ests of the country.
81 predict that when the sun shall have
set on the third of November next, not
more than one half of the States of the
South, and L will venture also 10 affirm,
not more than one half of the States west of
the Mississippi river will be found in the
Bryan column. All the rest will be for
sound money, good faith and national hon
or, Hurrah for the blue and the gray I" !

Col. Thos. B. Marche, chief clerk
of the free delivery system of the
Postoffice Department, arrived here
Thursday to confer with Capt. Geo.
Fl. Flagg, postmaster at this place,
as to the practicahility of establish
ing a rural free delivery of mails
from this Office. A meeting, COM
posed of several prominent gentlemen
from the country surrounding
Charles Town, was held in the city
council room in Rouss Memorial
Hall. The meeting was presided
over by Capt. Flagg, and the matter
of trying the experiment of a free
delivery system for rural districts
surrounding Charles Town was freely
discussed. 1t was the unanimous
opinion of the meeting that the e1-
pertinent should be given n trial, and
a motion approving the determina-
ton of Postmaster General Wilson
to give the system a trial at his home
was adopted without dissent. Capt.
Flagg was requested by Col. Marche
to procure three carriers to contract
for the delivery of mails until July
1 next, and he stated that the de-
partment would be willing to eXpend
probably 5000 at this place in the ex-
pertinent Congress appropriated
$40, 600 for the purpose of giving the
system a fair trial, but Mr.. Wilson
is the first Postmaster General to

three miles of the town. mail to be
delivered daily, and each carrier re-
CURED to give BOND for $1,000.
Pending the adoption of rural free

within the prescribed limit who de-
sire to be served by carriers. Rural
