CLEVELAND ALONE TO BLAME

Sir Moreton Frewen, the noted
English bimetallist, i'll a letter &c
Hon. G.. G. Merrick, of Denver says:
You in the United States have al
last arrived at That currency crisis
which every intelligent student has
been SO inevitably advancing. / af-
firm with strong conviction that the
way would have been prepared dur
ing the past three years for an inter
national settlement of this difficulty
had it not been for the attitude Of
just one man-your President. Mr..
Cleveland is paying the penalty for
the obstinate determination he has
evinced throughout to thrust your
country into not merely the gold
standard, but the straightest gold mo-
nometallism. Those of US who have
been ardent workers here for inter-
national b~imetallism have found
ourselves mt all points crossed and de-
feated by Mr.. Cleveland's actions and
Mr.. Cleveland's emissaries. He sent
Mr.. Atkinson over here on a special
mission to try md persuade those in
the present Cabinet-such men as
Mr.. Chaplain Dnd Mr.. Balfour-that
they we're cranks on the subject; that
the current legal tender Of the two
metals was impracticable.
Mr.. Balfour's difficulties within
Lord Salispury's Cabinet were in any
case great; they were made infinitely
greater by the ridicule poured upon
the whole project OF currency reform
by Mr.. Cleveland, Sterling Morton,
Hokc Smith and others. The speech.
es and absurd lcttersof these gentle
men were six months ago to be found
in many Of our daily newspapers. So
impossible had become the position
land in this connection ! know OF what
I nm writing) Of these members OF our
Government who were pledged to cur
rency reform, because Of the attitude
OF the Government at Washington,
that last year for n time We gave up
tho struggle.
[ rejoice, then, in the revolt OF the
Democratic Party, aud hasten TO say
also that should the party be success
iul in elccting u FREQ coinage Presi-
dent and Congress, that then before
Mr.. Cleveland goes out OF tho White
House an international agreement
will have been secured. Tho Roths-
childs hcre-the wealthy investors in
every Capital in Europe-could not
afford to cit still and seeing yonr
country going it alone" Europe will
respond to your spirited initiative II
the United States pledges itsclf TO
immediate free coinage I c%mplatical-
iy believe TINT NJ. Mclan, on behalf OF
France, will offer mintugc. We hero
are pledged to reopen tho Indian
mints, while tho delegates to .he re-
cent conference Mt Brussels, which l
attended. gave us every encourage
ment to hope that Germany, Austria
and Russia would in the event offrce
coinage In the Uuited States and
France agree 10 purchase n large
quantity OF silver annually to swell
their legal tender money. To pur.
chase II, | may add, II they can got
hold OF the metal at all.

ton. lie jumped towards the woman,
struck her Il violent blow ON the wrist
and wrested the pistol from her grasp.
Lillian Ashley turned pale and almost
tainted i'll the witness chair. Attor-
ncy James Crittcnden, for the de-
Tense, rushed To the assistance of En-
ma Ashley, putting his hand in his
pistol pocket. Uuruh covered Crit
tcnden with Emma's pistol, but Crit
tenden drew his pistol and the spec
tators thought moro shooting would
follow. Attorneys Lloyd and High
ton and the court officials came be-
tween the excited men, and the clerk
OF the court took the revolvers from
them. In the meantime Emma Ash
ley had run eros the court room
followed by Baldwin, who thought
she had another pistol. Baldwin held
Emma till the baliif escorted her to
the city prison, where she was booked
on ii charge of assault to commit
murder.
Emma Ashley is believed to be in
sane. During the trial she has spent
her time III court reading the bible.
When taken to Jail she sang Nearer
My God To Thee" in a lOnd voice.
Baldwin was crazy with rage md
wanted to fight some one. His hair
was singed by the powder and the
bullet passed within an inch OF his
head. The bullet vas found in the
wall fifteen feet from Judge Slack's
chair.

CHOWAN ASSOCIATION.

The Chowan Association met
with the church at Berea, this
county, on Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday last. Introducto-
ry sermon by DR.. Blackwell.
The former officers were re-
elected; but owing to a strong
opposition to Mr.. E. F. Aydlett.
who has faithfully served the
Association for the past three
years as Moderator, he declined
to accept the position.
DR.. Blackwell was then elect~
ed to succeed Mr.. Aydlett, who
very gracefully accepted and pre-
sided over the body with wisdom
and discression.
Although the weather was
very warm the churches were
very we'll represented. The va
rious objects of the Association
were we'll discussed and provided
for.
Among the visitors present
were Rev. Jno. E. White, CORES
pond:ng sec1 etary Of the Bap-
fist State Mission Board; DR..
| John Mitchell, representing min
isterial education; J. c. Caddell
and N. B. Broughton, of the Re-
corder; Rev. J. B. Boone, Supt.
brownsville Orphanage; DR.. J.
A. Speight, Of the Atlantic Bap-
fist, and Miss Lula Butt, Princi-
pal of Ryland Institute. Also
Rev. Mr.. Saunders, representa-
tive Of ChoWan Baptist Female
Institute.
At the last session of the AS
ISOLATION it was thought best tc
change the time OF holding its
meetings from May to July as
May is generally a very busy
season. The brethren seemed tC
think they had made quite g
mistake in centering upon the
hot month of July; SO they made
another leap, and decided to hole
their next session at Shiloh or
Tuesday after the third Sunday
in October, 1897.
