Riffs in the Lutte.

Discordant notes mar the Republican
paean of victory and threaten to utter
ly destroy it's harmony. Some OF the
members of the band refuse to follow
the baton of Director Hanna.
No finer scheme of political cam
paigning coald be devised than that
concoc'ed by the manager of the Nc
Kinley syndicate. It's Fundamental
principle was the organization OF the
powerful combIne interests of the couu-
try for a speculative venture in politics.
The polled Interests were to supply the
working capital in return for the privi.
lege of despolling the people in the
event of success.
Boss Hanna WAS TO manage the cam
paign aud divide up the spoils among
the investors. The pool. necessarily,
was based on the theory that Hanna
would exercise the supreme power In
the Republican party aud the admins
tration. OF course, the pool was a
good thing for the Republican party
and the programme arranged would
be pleasant and profitable thing for
the members of the syndicate.
But the programme has met obstruc-
tions. The Republican leaders who
have had the direction OF the party
were glad to have the aid Of the syndi-
cate. but do not propose to turn over
the party to its manager. They we're
willing that the party should profit by
the pools investment in political enter
prise, but they object to the party's be-
ing made a mere instrument OF specula-
tion now that the victory has been won.
They refuse to consent to make all per-
sonal ambitions and party ends subser-
Went to political business.
Boss Hanna finds his dictatorship In

disputed by DiDgley, Reed aud other
party potentates who have their own
interests to take care OF. The New
England Senators are with the insur-
gents, and Quay has turned on the syn
licate aud beaten it in Pennsylvania.
For outsiders It is pretty fight. II

profound interest and the wreck OF an

cepts conditions as they are. He frank.
ly admits that we have not had q cold
December here.
But, says Prof Hicks, he was mot
predicting solely for Missouri. The
sphere of his forecasts is too large 20
be bounded by the narrow limits Of a
political subdivision OF one country.
He predicts the weather for the nation.
for the world, for the whole universe.
So, while it is undeniable that Mis-
souri, did not have cold weather ia De-
cemoer. there we're places where the
weather was cold. The North Pole,
for Instance, had an extremely cold
December. Aud parts OF Mars. IL not
Neptune, were reasonably chilly.
Prof. Hicks is unquestionably right.
December was very cold month In
many places. Consequently his pre-
dictions were accurate as applied to
those places. He must be regarded,
therefore, as the original cold North
Pole man. And II this part OF the
country did not want TO join In the
cold spell. that is not his fault. He
predicts only for those sections that
want their weather predicted. After
the way Missouri has acted, it will be
lucky IL it gets Prof. Hicks to have
anything more to do with its weather.

Senator Sherman Speaks.

The most important utterances OF
! the currency question since the elec
tion is to be found in a letter writer
by Senator Sherman to Albert II
Walker of Hartford, Conn, early il
December, and now printed for the
first time. In it Senator Sherman an.
nounces that he is not in sympathy
with the proposed movement to retire
United States notes or greenbacks.
which is now part of the Wall Street
policy, indorsed by Cleveland and Car
Isle. The letter is as follows:
UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER.
WASHINGTON. d. e, Dec. z, 1896.
Mr.. Albert FL. Walker:
My Dear Sir-YOur Kind note of the
2Sth nlt., is received, do not sym
pathiZe with the movement to retire
United States notes from circulation.
| believe it is easy to maintain a lim-
tied amount of these in circulation,
without danger or difficulty. The
maintenance in circulation 1f 1916, 900, :
900 United States notes, supported by
a reserve of 800. 900, 900 gold, not on
ly saves the interest on S246. 600, 900
OF debt, but is q vast convenience to
the people at large. The best form of
paper money is that which is backed
by the Government, and maintained at
the specie standard. The absolute se-
curity OF these notes was never called
In question, after the resumption of
specie payments in 1879, until the re-
serve was being trenched nLou, TO
meet deficiencies in current revenue,
brought about by what is known as
the Wilson tariff law of 1894. Very
truly yours, JOHN SHERMAN.
There is confession and also an his
torical inaccuracy in this statement.
The confession is that the credit and
faith of the Government can maintain
the value Of money intrinsically worth
less. Such confession before the late
election Senator Sherman was unwil-
ling to make.
The historical inaccuracy is In the
statement that the first bond issue to
maintain the gold reserve was forced
by the Wilson tariff law. The bond
issue preceded the operation Of the
Wilson tariff law. Mr.. Foster, Presi-
dent Harr1son's Secretary of the Treas
ury. is on record admitting that plates
were prepared for bond issue before |
President Harrison retired from Office. |
Revenues declined under the McKin- |
ley tariff OF 1890, as Senator Sherman |
knows. and continued to decline under |
the administration of Mr.. Cleveland. |
The Post-Dispatch does not believe,
however, that these declines forced |
the depletion of the gold reserve. The
depletion was the result of Wall Street
raids on the Treasury. invited by the |
lawless policy of redeeming all coin |
notes and Treasury obligations 10 gold. |

bond issues?-St. Louis P.-D.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

President Mckinley issued his first
thanksgiving day proclamation last
Friday. 1t is as follows:
In remembrance of Gods goodness to
us during the past year, which has been
so abundant. let US offer unto Him our
thanksgiving and pay our vows unto the
Most High. Under His watchful provi-
dence industry has proSpered. the con-
ditions of labor have been improved,
the rewards of husbandmen have been
increased and the comforts of our homes
multiplied. His mighty hand has pre-
served peace and protected the nation.
Respect for law and order has been
strengthened, love of free institutions
cherished and all sections of our beloved
country brought into closer bonds OF fra
ternal regard and generous cooperation.
For these great benefits it is our duty
to praise the Lord in spirit of humility
and gratitude and to offer upto Him our
most earnest supplicationS. That We
may acknowledge our obligation as peo-
pie to Him who has so graciously granted
us the blessings Of free government and
material prosperity, |, William hckln-
lev. President of the United States, do
hereby designate and SET apart Thursday
the twenty-ffth day of November for
national thanksgiving and prayer, which
all of the people are invited to observe
with appropriate religious services in
their respective place of worship.
On this day of rejoicing and domestic
reunion let our prayers ascend TO the
Giver of every good and perfect gift for
the continuance of His love and favor to
us that our hearts may be filed with
charity and goodwill, and that We may
be ever worthy of His beneticent con
Germ.

Arbor Day In West Virginia.

Hon. J. R. Trotter, State Superin-
tendent of Schools, has issued the fol-
lowing arbor day proclamation;
In conformity with custom which
has long prevailed in this and other
States, and in compliance with public
sentiment, l hereby designate Friday,
November 10, as arbor day. | suggest
that our schools, colleges, and other ed
vocational institutions, as well as the citi-
zens of the State, unite in such exercises
as may be appropriate to the occasion.
also suggest, in addition to the regular
exercises, which are primarily intended
for adding to the comfort and beauty of
the school grounds by the planting of
shade and ornamental trees, that a sys-
tematic attempt be made to improve the
interior appearance and furnishing of
our school buildings. Let this be the
occasion for making the rooms and
grounds where our boys and girls pass
the best hours of the day and the most
impossible years of their lives so at
tractive that they will look back to them
in their mature years with pleasant
memories.

The compulsory school law has been
getting in its work in Boone county.
Prof. Deck Toney whipped some of
Squire Millard Pauley's children at
school, and the Squire withdrew them
from attendance. The professor at
once reported the matter to the trus-
tees and under penalty Of the law the
Pauley children were compelled to re-
turn. Thereupon Pauley swore that
he would cut Tony to pieces and last
Friday he found the Professor at a
cane mill on Toney's Branch. A quar-
rel was followed by fight, in which
Pauley used a knife, cutting Toney
over the heart and behind the left
ear, inficting wounds Of most serious
character. Toney almost bled to death
before physician could be secured,
and he is still in critical condition
from his injuries.

The body of Mrs. Laura LapOle was
found floating in the canal at Cumber-
land last week. The woman was the
wife of George Lapole, boatman,
who is now servinga three years SEN
tence in the penitentiary for the muir
der of an old man on the towpath near
Sandy Hook, over two years ago. Mrs.
Lapole had since been running the
boat with the assistance of her grown
children, Lucy and Thomas She was
about fOrty-fve years of age. Jesse
Engle, boatman who found the body,
said that he had seen the woman
drinking, and the probability is that
while drunk she was struck by some
one in Shantytown and thrown into
the canal; or she may have fallen from
a boat while intoxicated. She was
buried in pauper's grave.

Unless a person saw with his own
eyes through a powerful magnifying
glass the words of the Lords Prayer
engraved on the head of an ordinary
pin, he might be inclined to regard
with skepticism any statement that
the thing could be done. Yet it has
been accomplished by Boston en-
graver, Joseph D. Young, Three
years ago Mr.. Young amused himself
by engraving the Lords Prayer on a
plate easily covered by the circum-
ference of a lead pencil. Through
the glass the letters are as distinct a.
the type used in the REGISTER. Two
weeks ago he began to engrave the
words of the prayer on pin head.
finding it easy work. The lettering
starts on the edge rim of the pin head
and circles around in spiral until It
finishes in the centre. Every word
is distinct. and the letters show sur
prising delicacy Of touch. With the
naked eve the characters are merely
scratches.

to prompt him to give to all, whether
they are worthy or not. Some ask as

Conductor Assaulted.

A few days ago Capt. Walter Hutch
ings, passenger conductor on the Nor
folk and Western, between Roanoke
and Hagerstown, was assaulted on
board his train by a wealthy stock
man named R. H. Frazer, Fauquier
county, Va. The assault, which came
near being serious, is said to have
been unprovoked. The matter was
reported to the officials of the road,
and they detailed Detective W. G.
Baldwin to arrest Frazer, which he
did, and took him to Roanoke Sunday
morning. A preliminary hearing has
been set for Saturday next. The rail-
road officials say they will prosecute
