Some Plain Facts.

Grave errors, injustice, wrongs Of
greater or less degree, arise from lack
of knowledge of the truth, and more
frequently from deception.
The most infamous case on record
of deception and injustice is the at.
tempt to demonetize silver as money
of final redemption in the United
States.
There is no learned judge, skilled
lawyer, or court of justice that is
capable of reconciling the effort with
the constitutional laws that govern
the issue of money in this country.
The people have been deceived,
officials in power, chosen to admins
ter justice under the laws, have
ignored their sworn duty, and given
aid to the scheme that has paralyzed
industry, reduced property values
one-half, and 'beggared millions.
There is no authority of law, either
specific or by inference, by which
gold alone is made the only money
with which to discharge debts, either
public or private. The effort to
make it so is unconstitutional and a
national calamity.
Plain and ample information, facts,
and truth, concerning this almost sue
cessful scheme to corner the wealth
of the people, is now being printed
in the Cincinnati Enquirer, a news.

money has failed to muzzle or buy.

The Financial Issue.

The Congress elected in 1916 viii begin its
first regular session on Monday, December g..
The Mckinley Administration and the Re-
publican Congress were charged by the peo-
pie TO give the country sound and stable
financial system.
The first act was the increase oftariif taxes,
and the rates have been placed so high rs to
prohibit imports and thus lessen the revenue.
The ostensible purpose Of the trainers of the
law was TO increase revenue, but the real pur-
pose was TO repay campaign contributions to
the trusts by protecting them against foreign
competition.
AT the next session il is likely Congress
will take up the money question. The result
in Ohio admonishes Mr.. Mckinley and the
Republican Congress that il the matter IS not
settled satisfactory to The great rlral West
and South, there will be an uprising of the
people that neither Hanna and his millions
and the great cities Of the East can over
come.
The election in Ohio, where the Democrats
made straight fight upon a platform declar-
ing for the free coinage of gold and silver Mt
a ratio Of Is to ], is very significant. It is
bat the beginning of the end should the Re
publicans fail to give the country more money
and better financial system.
Next fall new House Of Representatives
Is to be elected, and if the Republicans fail
keep their campaign promise of 1896, a
Democratic whirlwind will sweep over the
country

Baltimore a Republican Town

There can be no doubt that Baltimore is a
Republican city. The alleged Independents
are all Republicans The Reformed League
are Republicans, and the SHnand Ne'r$ have
become Republican organs.
The city has become Republican by an IN
aux of Northernpeople and ex Coufederates
The latter are disgruntled because the Demo
Gratis did not give them all offices. and many
of them have been against the party for ten
or fifteen years. And some who have been
given place and position have turned against
the party.
The Democracy of Maryland must look to
the counties hereafter, as was done this year.
In this connection it would be well for Demo
Gratis of the counties to stand by the Baltimore
He,uld as well as their local papers, for the
Herald can be relied upon to deal fairly with
Democratic interests, and is as good as any
paper in the city.

Trouble Among Frederick County
Republicans.

At a meeting of the Frederick Republican
county central committee, which was held
Saturday to close up the business of the present
campaign, it is said that there was an unex-
pected scene. The meeting was about to adj
iourn. when a motion was offered to remove
several men, whose names were mentioned,
who, it was alleged, had openly worked at the
polls on election day against Judge John c.
Motter and several other Republicans who
were recognized as anti Wellington people.
The resolution precipitated lively debate,
and was finally referred to committee to
fully investigate the charges, and, it is said,
if they are substautiated the accused members
will be read from the party 1t has been as
serted h ere that the followers of Mr.. Yelling
ton were lighting Mr.. Motter and his friends
upon the ticket in every district in the county
on election day. In Frederick city Mr.. Motter
received from thirty to sixty cuts in each OF
the four wards, but, ON the other hand, he re-
ceived from 1l2 to 40 Democratic votes in
each of the four wards.

and a gang of desperadOes. For the past
three years Milton Hickman and his followers
have been terror to the two Virginlas, and,
although pursued constantly, by the aid of
friends succeeded in evading the officers.
They have looted almost every postoiiice and
store on the border. and by their daring had
so completely intimidated the natives that
they through fear oltentimes sheltered them
when holly pursued. Sunday last Deputy
Marshal H. W. RAIDER and Arch McClung
certained that Hickman was attending a pro
tracted meeting in the village church at Mud
dety. and Immediately depulized posse of
eight Of the more fearless mountalneers, who
quietly advanced on the church and surrounded
the edifice. just as the preacher was about
to announce the doxology, Marshal RAIDER
stepped to the door and demanded the instant
surrender of Hickman. The latter and two
of his followers, who were seekers at the altar.
rushed for their Winchesters, that were lean
ing against the wall and Immediately began
firing. With the first vollsy, Marshal RAIDER
fell dangerously wounded, but throughout the
conflict that ensued directed the movements
of the posse. Out of sympathy Il number OF
mountaineers in the congregation joined the
cause of Hickman. aud, as all were heavily
armed, the battle was bloody and determined,
but at the end Hickman, who was foremost in
the fight, fell, pierced by several bullets. He
expired in the arms of his sweetheart, who
encouraged him throughout the battle for his
life and freedom. His followers weakened
Immediately, and after few struggling shots
ceased firing. The outlaws were placed under
arrest at once and are now in jail at Sommer-

congregation was shot through the neck and
the arm of her infant was shot off, Besides
