elementary principle, namely; that
values cannot be created by legisla
tion. Ny silver, today, is worth
65 cents per ounce; and it is the
height of absurdlty, to say that
should the Congress of the united
States pass bill, and the Presi~
dent affix his signature to it, the
same silver would be worth 9129.
These commercial values are fixed,
not by legislation, but by the laws
of trade, which are word wide in
application, and as inexorable and
immutable as the laws of gravita>
tion. Just as we'll might we ex-
pect, in this country, to establish,
by legislation, a new law of gravi-
tation, as to say that by legislation
we could make silver worth more
than the commercial world saws it
is worth. The monetary system
is universal, and is fixed by the
laws of trade and commerce.
There is no such thing as Ma
tional law of trade and commerce.
Supply and demand is universal.
Protection is National, and can
be determined, absolutely, by na-
tional legislation. The American
Congress can do nothing for my
silver, but it can open the mills
and factories of the country by
| protection.
Believing, firmly, that the Ma
tional Republican party, in this
great political contest, is right; l
have confidence in the honesty ol
the American people that leads me
to believe that victory will be ours
on November 3rd.
I remain, dear sir,
yours, cordially,

Letter Of Acceptance of Hon.
Henry Knippenberg.

Thursday, Oc; pber 1st, '96.
Hon. J. W. Strevell, =
Chairman Republican State Con-
vention Miles City, Montana.
My dear Sir
your esteemed favor Of Septem-
Der .24th., in which you notify me,
officially, that the last Republican
State Convention, over which you
| had the honor to preside, has
nominated me as one of the three
State Presidential Electors, and
requesting my acceptance OF the
same, reached me in due time.
To you as Chairman, and to the
loyal Republicans who composed
the Convention I tender my thanks
for this evidence of respect and
confidence. I accept this nomlna-
tion, coming, as it does, from the
party of patriotism and loyalty;
the party of Lincoln, of Grant,
Garfield. and Mckinley; the party
which stands for America, moral
and financial integrity, and
American protection.
AS business man, a silver mine
owner, silver mine manager, and
silver producer, let me make plain
to every voter in Montana my pos
ition on the present momentous
National political issue, so that he
who may vote for me, shall cast his
ballot in the political sunlight, and
not in darkness.
1 indorse the ST. Louis National
Republican platform, and especial
I1y do I indorse the financial ano
protection planks. 1 am unal'
terably opposed to the false, de-
ceptive and. dishonest proposition
of the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of sixteen to one am, unal'
terably in favor of American pro-
lection to the wool growers and tt
every American industry, in Mon
tana, and in every other state il
the union. I indorse the nomina
ton of O. F. Goddard, for Con
gress, as the most fitting man II
every respect, to represent th'
state OF Montana: in the Nationa
House of Representatives.
In my opinion, it would be wortl
millions of good money to Montana
liz the state should cast it's elect
oral vote for Mckinley and Hobart
and send Goddard to Congress
TO stand by National honor an
patriotic duty, Is to sow the see
that springs up hundred fold. an
brings gladness to every homes
man, woman and child.
Never has Montana had such a
opportunity, as the present, t
raise the credit of her people; tha
all states should respect her, i
wears to come. Unoer the cond
tion which now prevail in the con
merical world, the silver enthusias

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
VIM. stanley and Pleas. Smith Fall
Sixty Feet, and Receive Serious
Injuries.

Yesterday evening about 6
o'clock, VIM. Stanley, white, and
Pleas. Smith, colored, employees
at Look IL, this place, met with a
serious accident, that may prove
fatal to one, or both of them.
They had been hoisted to the
tower on the south side of the river,
which holds the cable that crosses
the Kanawha, and is used for con
veying stone and othermaterial for
the lock and dam, and were des-
cending, when rope became foul
ed, throwing the machinery out of
gear, and letting the box and un-
fortunate men drop a distance of6O
feet to the hill below.
Stanley had his nose badly split,
and was otherwise bruised about
the head and body, and also receiv-
ed internal injuries; while Smith
had his left leg broken in three
places and his right arm was also
broken, besides receiving other
painful wounds.
AS soon as the accident happen
ed DIR. Guthrie was summoned, and
he was assisted by DIR. McElfresh,
of Henderson, who did all in
their power to alleviate the suffer
inOs of the DOOR men.
1t was fearful and unanavoidu-
BILE accident, and it is miracle how
these men escaped instant death.
Word from the Locks this morn
ing says the injured men were
resting easy, and it is now thought
that the colored mans leg can be
saved, and by proper care, both
men will recover.

THE BIG DAM FISH.

The Old Man Gets Things Badly Mixed.
"You must be on yolr good be-
havior this evening Henry for the
minister is to take dinner with us
said a Morgantown lady to her
worse half as he got home from his
Office last Thursday.
"What have you for dinner,
asked the husband,
"Well, L know he is fond of fish,
SO L bought quite string of small
river fish, and several large ones
from the dam"
"I am not much at doing the
honors when we have minister at
the table," said Henry, but /
guess we can get throughallright
Inahalfan hour they were seated
at the table, and a blessing had been
asked by the minister. A little
nervously the head of the family
began dishing out the Vegetables,
and turning TO the guest said:
"Will you have some of the little
river fish, or would you prefer
some of the dam big fish?"
The warning kick under the
table from his wife was unneces-
sary. He knew he had blundered,
and the cold beads Of prespirotion
started out on his forehead.
az mean trying to repair the
error will you have some of the
dam river fish or some of the big
fish?"
Worse and more of it! His son
Will slightly pulled his coat tail to
bring him to4lis senses.
"That is, would you like some OF
the river fish or some of the other
dam fish,"
The deep cornation spreading
over the good lNdy's face didn't
mend matters a bit, and with +"
gasp he plunged in once more:
"Well, which of the dam fish do
you prefer, anyway?' Kingwood

wnv bees work In tho Dark.

Beos go out all day gathering hon
ey and work at night i'll the hive,
building their combs as perfectly
as if an electric light shono there
all tho timo. Why do thoy prefer to
work in tho dark? is often asked.
Evory ono knows that honey is q
LIQUID with no solid sugar i'll it. Aft
or standing it gradually assumes n
crystalline appearance, or granu-
latos, and ultimately becomes sol
i'll mass.
Honey has beon oxperimontally
inclosed in we'll corked TASKS. some
of which wero kept in perfect dark
ness, whilo tho others were exposed
to tho light. Tho result was that
tho portion exposed to tho light soon
orystallized, while that kopt i'll tho
dark remninod unchanged.
Honco wo SEQ why tho bees arc SO
careful to obscure tho glass windows
which are placed in their hives. Tho
existence of tho young depends on
tho liuuidity of the sncoharine food
presented to them, and if light wore
allowed access to this it would, i'll
all probability, provo fatal to tho
inmates of tho hive. = Pearson s

whonnlng Mistake,

In our Sunday morning paper,
we stated that "the produce house
of j. p. Hambrick & Son, of Third
avenue, shipped 1900 dozen eggs
and TOO chickens to the Pittsburg
market this week all of which was
bought in the vicinity of this city"
This is whopping mistake as it
should have been 1900, but our
informant happened TO be an in
surance agent and we only deduct
ed the usual per cent. of allowance
in such cases, and made it 1900
dozen in place of 10000 But we
have been assured by the popular
proprietor of the house that the
agent was not taking insurance
when he informed us and indeed
told the truth. We will try to dis
tinguish in future between an agent
talking up his own business and
that of some one else and not make
the usual allowance. We have the
agents word that he made care
full calculation and found the l3-,
600 dozen eggs would cover the
distance of four miles. Just stop!

THE CONCERT.

A Big House Greets The Orchestra.
The concert given last night at
Hooff's Opera House, by tho Point
Pleasant Orchestra, was n grand
success, both as to the program
rendered and the large audience
assembled. Everyone engaged in
the concert, did their part we'll.
The vocal solos by Miss Edith
Hudson. of Middleport, and Miss
Josie Hess, of this city, were OK
ceedingly good, and they both sang
beautifully, and received many
encores. Little Miss Alvena Hess,
was quite hit,in her song, "Little
Alabama Coon;" and she took the
audience by storm. Miss Mamie
Nease, always good before an ou-
dience, was i'll her best i'll her
recitation of can Old Maids Lect
ure on Woman's Rights" and she
was repeatedly encored. The Or
chestra showed wonderful advance
ment, and it can now be counted
among the best Orchestras in
the country. Mrs. John G..
Franklin and Miss Alberta Glib
bons presided at the piano, and
this is sufficient to know that their
performance on this instrument
was excellent. Mr.. YanGilder as
Director, is entitled to much credit
for the arrangement of the program
and the success which attended
the concert.
The Musical Director wants us
to say this morning that they fully
appreciate the part played by the
papers of the town in giving them
SO much free advertising. They
will remember us, they say.

A Good Suggestion.

There is special merit i'll the
recommendation of the utilization
of tramps for road building. This
would benefit the country in two
ways. 1t would improve the roads
and diminish the number of tramps.
The latter now live on the country
for nothing. They are our only
leisure class and they are support
ed in idleness by direct taxation.
That taxation is levied upon the
country farmers who feed the
tramps and tbs city people who are
held up on t}.o street for the price
of nights lodging or a cup of
coffee. AS class trnmps are sim
ply lazy frauds, many of them
dangerous ones. Imprisonment
without labor is no punishment for
them and for this reason most of
the tramp laws are are without ter
ror for the tramp. Let them be
arrested wherever they appear and
put to roadmaking. Under this
rule we would SOON have either
good roads or no tramps and either
contamination would be an unmix-
ed blessing to the State.

through Statuary hall the other day
with somo of her mates, and they
paused in front of the Garfield stat
