Something About the News.
Clifton Forge, Va, Aug. 80 ~
ditor Of the SPECTATOR


Dear Sir:
Anewly fiedged republican paper,
called the Staunton Daily News, hnos
its way into my house by some means
and really do not know what TO 90
with the blame thing. A few weeks
since you advised the people OF Chiffon
Forge to try starting the hire IN the
kitchen stove with it. 1t won't work.
I've tried it. There isn't substance
enough in the thing to burn, ana then
| it is SO light that before you can
strike match it has gone up the nue.
| to where the wOOdbine twlnetn. Ilease
advise the board of Directors-H you
can find out who they are-to saturate
| the thing with some OF ingalls, piack
strap oil instead of campaign soap, SO
as to make it of some use to the com.
mnnities upon which it is thrust. And
now Mr.. Editor please answer one
question. In the year 1884, the Dem.
| ocratic party declared for both gold
and silver as standard money for our
country; they did the same IN 1883,
and the same in 1892, and yet l hear
SO called democrats say they can't en-
dorse the Chicago platform on account
of it's financial position. Now please
tell me what great difference there is
between the platform of 1896 and the
platform of the democratic party in
the years gone before. Consistency is
a most blessed jewel, but it does seem
to me an-awfully scarce commodity IN
these latter years, especially among
certain politicians. l understand that
Mr.. VIM. E. Cameron is to speak to
our people to night, on the subject OF
an honest dollar A few years ago was
there not man by that name, who
wished to repudiate our state debt.
Again l say consistency is a jewel
Clifton Forge will roll up a big major
ity for free coinage of silver, despite
the fact that we have a few railroad
officials $50 -called democrats) who will
do all they can in one way or another
to defeat democracy and elect a high
tariff man to office.
Rery respectfully,
DEMOCRAT.

At O'Clock Wednesday afternoon a
score of men, armed with revolvers and
bombs, invaded the Ottoman Bank in
Constantinople, killing number of
gendarmes on guard. Closing the
doors of the bank to prevent the on
ward advance of the mob, the EN-
ployes of the bank fled to the quarters
in the bank building occupied by the
tobacco syndicate, which has control
of the collection of the taxes on tobacco
throughout the Turkish empire The
invaders mounted the roof of the
building and from the open windows
fired at the police iii the street below.
The police returned the fnsilade in a
vigorous manner and several persons
were killed and wounded The riot
then became general Shops were
sacked and baZaars invaded and the
widest excitement prevailed through
out certain quarters Of Constantinople.
At five O'Clock the bank was reported

1t may be true, as claimed by the
boilers, that Mr., Bryan said that if the
Democratic party ceased to speak for
the best interests of the country that
he would cease TO be Democrat. Here
the boilers eau learn a lesson of hon
esty from Mr. Bryan. He did not pro-
pose to war upon the democracy either
directly or indirectly and call himself a
democrat. When he should take his
place amongst the opposition he pro.
posed to surrender his right to call
himself a democrat, as all honest men

GRAIN TRADE AND CROPS.

The Cincinnati Price Current of last
Thursday says
: The past week has been attended
with something of storms and rainfall
here and there. and it is apparent that
the moisture is delaying the ripening
process OF portion of the corn crop,
but the bulk of this grain is in such
forward condition as to be now or very
soon secure from liability to injury
from frosts. Indications as to yield
appear to be fully maintained. The
position IN Kansas has been rendered
more assuring as a result OF recent
rains
OF other crops there is no occasion
for important changes in calculations.
The disappointments in yield OF win
ter wheat and the unsatisfactory con-
dition and quality of the grain con-
tinue to be remarked upon by CORE
spOndents.
A Minneapolis authority, Mr.. ii. V.
Jones, who has in recent past years
made good record in estimates OF the
Northwestern wheat crop, credits the
Dakotas and Minnesota with 1903, OO0,.
900 bushels as the reasonable Indica
ton for this season. Ii this should be
Justified by final records, the total OF
the spring wheat grain will probable
not be less than 100, 600 600 bushels
aud 175, coo. 900 is not al unreasonab Die
quantity to be recognized as possible
Iii this should be realized the entire
crop will likely prove to be about $780,
000,00O bushels.
The adyices concerning oats confirm
| the previous indications of poor yield
and poor quality for a large part OF
the crop area. The hay crop is of fail
volume; the early secured portion was
saved in good condition, but much Of
the later curing was more or less I'M
paired in quality of rains.
The wheat markets have shown
something of an improving tendency
| the past week, but there appears to be
| a hating condition at the close, and
| the gain for the week in prices al
Chicago is not important. The corn
market has suffered decline, as also
oats. and these grains are st e. low
position.
September wheat at Chicago closed
2ac below the highest point OF the week,
&c above the lowest point, and lse
higher than a week ago.
Corn at Chicago for September
closed 21c below the highest point OF the
week, at the lowest point Of the
week, and 24c lower than week ago
Wheat receipts at primary markets
were 4, 415. 600 bushels for the week,
against {, 1924. 600 the preceding week,
and 1914, 600 last year.
Corn receipts were 3 ,471,000 bushels.
against 5.291 1000 the preceding week,
and 2, 1856, eco last year.

No right thinking American demo.
crat ceases to respect, or has any cause
to do so, a fellow citizen who, having
been a democrat, changes his opinions
on political questions and adopts re.
publican principles and votes the re-
publican ticket. But it is needless to
remark that the same can not be said
of those, who, while protesting to be
democrats, and to be in favor of a low
tariff, OF an income tax, of the removal
Of the tax on State banks, and of all
other democratic measures, and to op-
pose a force bill, a high tariff, trusts,

THE SNAKE WAS ROUND HER NECK.
IA remarkable adventure is reported
as having taken place Saturday even
| ing week at Browns run, a wild and
rugged strip of territory in Madison
| Township, Ohio. Howard Deem is a
prosperous farmer there. His wife
recently employed a girl in Middle
town to do general homework, and
took her out on the farm Among
other duties, the girl had to gather the
eggs each evening. Saturday night
| she went to the stable on her egg hunt,
| and thrust her hand into a manger,
and into familiar nest, where eggs
were found saaf' daxi None we're
there, but, instead, an immense black
snake, which wrapped itself about the
girls arm, and before she could recover
her power of speech or locomotion,
had gotten to her shoulder and wound
it's Shiny coils about her neck. The
girl was almost paralyzed with fright,
but had presence of mind enough to
reach for a pair of scissors which hung
about her waist, and which she had
been using in sewing. With these she
entered into a terrific combat with the
big serpent, iabbing at it, and cutting
herself as well as the reptile in her
wild thrusts. Her screams finally
brought Mr.. Deem from the house,
and after a struggle, he succeeded in
releasing the poor girl from her awful
predicament. She swooned after the
ordeal was passed. and is in a rather
serious condition. both from the fright
and the self-inf1icted wounds The
snake was almost seven feet in length.
