The Weatherholtz Case.

The Shenandoah Herald says the
The people were very much stirred
up over the verdict Of the jury in
this case, and as a matter Of pre-
caution the prisoner was removed
to the Frederick county jail, and
adds:
"The action was taken none too
soon, for the enrageG citizens Of
this county were prepared to avenge
the death Of Mrs. Minnie Wealth
erholtz. Verdicts Of this kind en-
courage lynch law which, we all
know, threatens the lives Of the

Whenever the public are fully con-
WINGED that our courts will not pun

rising Of the people that no power

GOld-Bug Inconsistency.

Ever since the opening OF the
campaign the great and seemingly
the strongest argument Of the re-
publicans and gold democrats has
been The 500 dollar They say
that if the United States should by
law adopt The free coinage Of silver
dire results would follow, gold
would rush from America as from a
pestilence and we would only have
left the poor deprecated silver dol
lar. The plan Of free silver is
scoffed at unless we have an inter
national agreement. Now is it not
strange and a great inconsistency
to argue that silver, while a bad
thing" for few, is good thing
for many; a soc dollar for the
United States, bnt one hundred
cents for the world. Certainly the
fallacy Of such arguments appar-
ent to every intelligent voter. If
the free coinage Of silver will re-
suit in good to the world in the
event Of an international agreement
then let the United States set an
example which the world will fol-
low. Let it be put down in histo-
ry that the youngest and the great
est nation of the globe made a sat
isfactory solution Of the financial
question. The following, from an
authority on this question, says:
"Scholarly men, just men, every
where resent the injustice Of the
gold standard; and lovers OF free
government see in it the most pow
erful and subtle enemy Of free i'd
situations. Taxpayers nearly ev-
erywhere see that it means depress-
ed prices for property and increased
burden Of debts and taxes. Wage
earners know by sad experience
that it depresses industry and cur
tails the number of employees rs
well as the wages of these who are
employed"

McKinIey's Letter of Acceptance.

McKinley's letter of acceptance
of the Republican nomination for
the Presidency made its appearance
in the newspapers last Saturday.
In this letter it seems that he has
given up the idea of side tracking
the money question:. He takes it
.ip first and devoses the larger por-
tion of the letter to its discussion
from a gold bugs point of view.
However, he speaks of the tariff at
considerable length and says that
She change made in it is largely
res onsible for the hard times now
existing. He also throws out a
hint that Southerners need not
have any further fear Of the dread
al forcezbilf.
