Christmas has passed off very
quietly at Stepstone. Several quarts
were drenched, but all quietly and
peaceably done.
Mrs. VIM. Quisenberry and son
Walter are quite sick. Mary Dewitt
and James L. Williams are recov-
ering from la grippe. Mrs. Callie
Ragan is quite sick with la grippe.
Mrs. VIM. Ragan died of con-
sumption Dec. 26, aged 56. She

by her many friends and relatives.
II. d. Clark preached her funeral.
She was buried in the old family

Stepstone would be a good loca-
tion for a good physician, as quite
a number have been sick and are
sick and no physician nearer than
Howard's Mill, Mt. Sterling and
Owingsville. Drs. Duerson, Drake
and Clark are quite busy in this
vicinity. Let us have a good ply
sician and patronize him at home.
Mrs. Thomas Williams, of Leon,
Carter Co, a lady 70 years of age,
who had been making her home
with her son, Shed Williams, of
Moorefield, for past few years, had
gone on a visit to see her children
in Carter Co. for the last time.
While on the road to the train on
her return home near Soldier, KY,
was tripped by briar in the road,
fell and fractured her left hip, put
her left shoulder out of place and
broke her left arm just below the
shoulder. She was in a few yards
of the depot at that time, ard was
carried to Joe Williams in Soldier,
and treated by the physician for
several days. Shed Williams then
went for her and brought her here
on the train to James Williams, at
Stepstone, and took her from here
home in a buggy, in quite serious
condition; yet through all of this
the old lady was as kind and gentle
as a lamb, leaning on and trusting
in her Christian faith in God and
asking him to be with her, and
Him for his past favors.
She said: II put my trust in God
and if it is His will He will see me
safely home, but He knows and
does what is best" She was quite
a worthy example indeed to the
young and careless to see such a
noble character. such true Chris
tian faith in such a serious condi-
tion, and such noble example of
patience can never be forgotten by |
all who saw her. In parting she
said: II want you to ask God to
help me get through" She said
she was the mother of nine chill
dren, had been an active laborer
all of her life and had been sick
very little, and had taken very lit
tie medicine

THE NEW YORK CONVENTION.

1t was a great day yesterday
for Democratic conventions. Ohio
and Texas were for free silver
as has been expected; New York
was for gold. as was anticipated.
twas the most important of the three,
as it is generally thought that its dec
la1ations on the financial question will
outline the policy of the gold men at
C9,icagp.
The financial plank is verbose to a
degree and hesitates to coma to fair
and square declaration. 1t talks glibly
of gold and silver-''the money of the
constitution and of our fathers" and
about the parity of the two metals; it
refers to and deprecates the action of
Republican congress and a Republi-
can president IN depriving silver of it's
equality with gold for the money and
currency of the nation, and it notes
some Of the consequences of this ac-
ton. 1t realizes that the restoration
of this equilibrium is a problem, but
which is wholly beyond the power of
this nation without the cooperation of
other nations. The formal declarations
are in faver of gold and silver as the
standard money of the country, and
opposition to permanent financial
policy of gold monometallism on the
one hand and a permanent policy of
silver recommendation on the other.
The platform declares that neither this
country ncr any other can, alone,
maintain free and independent coinage
of silver; and until international CO.
operation for free coinage can be Sc
cured-"to which end all our efforts as
q. government and as a people should
be in good faith directed'-the present
gold standard should be maintained.
The plank can hardly be termed a
straddle, because it declares for the
maintenance of the present gold
standard and against free coinage, but
with so many qualifications that it
seems more like straddle than any
thing else. The protest against gold
monometallism and against silver
recommendation is nothing but fustian.
All the twaddle about the money Of
the constitution and international BIZ
metallfsm is merely intended, to serve
as a bait fcr the free, silver men and
to lead them astray. 1t will fail of it's
purpose. Being for the gold standard,
we should have much preferred that
the New York Democrats had said
so directly and without deviation.
They only screw their courage UP to
the sticking point after long hesitation.

the general drift Of ssntime-t in this
COUNTRY can see nothing but Mckisl-
ley and protection" 1t really looks as
though Mr.. Hobart instead of gather
ing the general drift of sentiment in
this country had been wool gathering.
If he reads the papers, he cannot
have faxed to notice that the leaders
are chiefly occupied with a discussion
of the financial question. If he took
any interest in the proceedings at st.
Louis, outside of those pertaining to
the nomination of a presidential
candidate, he must have known that
the convention was unanimous on the
question of protection, but that there
was a bolt ON the financial question.
The man who can see nothing but Nc
Kinley and protection this year hasn't
i very keen political vision. Mr. He
bart should purchase some spectacles
that would enlarge his field of vision
and give him clearer definition.

AN ABSURD PROPOSITION.

Yesterday we heard a gentleman well
versed in politics express his opinion
on the proposition to make Senator Tel
Ter the candidate of the Democratic
party. When he referred to what Sem
ator Cannon had said-tflat the Demo-
Gratis should concede something to adj
vance the cause of free silver and take
Teller as their candidate-this gentle
man smiled and said there could be
no more absurd idea. The Democrats,
he said, were doing all in their power
to bring about free silver, and that
everything pointed to the adoption of
free silver platform at Chicago, and
the naming of free silver candidate
to stand upon it. The Democrats had
nothing to concede. Il am a Republic
can and a free silver man myself"
said he, las good, l believe. as the
gentlemen who bottled the st. Louis
convention, and nothing would delight
me more than TO have the Democrats
nominate Teller as their candidate. 1t
would insure the election of a good Re-
publican, whether it were Mckinley or
Teller" And that is what it would do
A policy on the part of the Demo-
cratic party that would be 50 eminent
ly satisfactory to high tariff Republi-
cans, though they be for silver, can
not be satisfactory to Democrats; in
fact, it must be un-Democratic If
Mr.. Teller has the strength that those
who are so injudiciously booming him
claim for him, then he needs neither a
Democratic nomination nor Democratic
support to make him president of the
United States.

The scheme to have meeting in this

agreeing upon a course for the silver
men of the west, does not meet with
entire approval. The Butte Miner

meeting in Chicago on July which
will map out a course for all good sill
yer men, east and west. The real
friend of silver who truly desires to
bring about the restoration of free
silver, should think only of supporting
the free silver candidate of the Chi
cago convention, who will stand
upon free silver platform. He should
increase the stronghold of the silver
sentiment by going to it and fighting
for silver from it.
