Mr.. Armstrong was native of Bethel
township, and on the day before his death,
was 4S years Of age. He was raised far
mer and has devoted himself principally
to farming all his life. He had the rep
utation of being charitable and kind
to the poor and was held in highest es-
teem by his neighbors. He had been in
poor health for several years past, prin-
cipally on account of trouble with his
heart; but of late has been stronger and
more hopeful Of ultimate recovery. He
was member of the general assembly,
and his death leaves vacancy in York's
delegation in that body. The reporter is
informed that he carried life insurance to
the amount of $1,000; $4,000 in the Wood
men of the World, and $1,000 in an old
line company. He leaves widow; but
no children.
The funeral took place at Bethel church
yesterday morning, and was attended by
large concourse of people from all parts
of the surrounding country.

be personal but when he reviewed the
history of the whole question, he saw
several things he could not understand.
1t was a strange thing to him how some
of the members could vote for the appro-
priation of $1,000 and the location of the
bridge at Harris's ferry, and then, upon
reconsideration, when it began to appear
that the Neely's ferry location was going
to be adopted, these members should
take the position that they were unwilling
to expend such large amount OF money
except upon a vote of the people. Not
only was this strange; but it was also
strange how, after the board had agreed
to submit the matter to vote OF the pe"-
pie, no arrangements were ever made for
the election, and the people were not
given chance to express themselves.
Still he did not want to be offensive; but
for such an incident there seemed to be,
i'm his opinion, only one explanation.
Certain members of the board, though
willing for The Harris's ferry location,
were unwilling to locate the bridge AT
Neely's ferry. They saw that if the ques-
ferry location was going to carry, ana on
the principle of rule Or ruin, they deter
mined that if they could not get what
they wanted, they would not allow any
body else to have it; and deliberately
went in to kill the whole thing. In con-
clusion, Mr.. Crook said: "Now, gentle
men, we are not only asking for this
bridge because it is our right; but also on
that well established Democratic prlncl-
pie, of equal rights to all and special
privileges to none. The people OF York

In a recent speech in Limerick in

O'Brien urged the people to become

of the United Irishmen than if they

they stood with their party and voted
for Hanna's candidate. In 1900 when
Mckinley comes up for reelection he
can say that as far as in him lay he
tried to bring about international BIZ
metallism but failed.
While Mckinley is ostensibly in favor
Of bimetallism by International agree
ment, his secretary of the treasury,
Banker Lyman j. Gage. of Chicago. is
unalterably opposed to bimetallism of
any kind and emphatically favors gold
mcnc1netalism for all time to come
Comptroller Eckels. a relic Of the Cleve-
land administration, is going around the
country as the guest of the bankers and

adoption of double standard by inter-

based and degraded metal no more prec-
icas in their sight than copper or iron
When silver bullion falls in price they
set up joyous chorus, and the less the
American mine owner gets for it the
greater is their delight. Under these
circumstances can President Mckinley
be acting honestly with his fellow citl
zens of bime,allic principles in keeping
Wclcott. Stevenson and Walker in
Europe on a will O. the wisp" pursuit?
We believe he is Il dissembler who is
acting a double part. and that as che
beneficiary OF Mark Hanna he will carry
out the policy of the putocracy whom
that gentleman represents.
We prefer the gold Democrats to the
gold Republicans by long odds The
former unequivocably favor the gold
standard during secula seculorum, while
the latter hypocritically declare for BIZ
metal!ism and are doing their utmost TO
perpetuate the existing gold standard"

The Minneapolis Journal says that
the advocacy of the restoration of tho
double standard by William ]. Bryan
suggests either gross ignorance or dis
honest intention" on his part. Six
million of intelligent American citizens
thought otherwise last fall, and eight
million will think so in 1900. The
Journal should use argument to make
converts for the single gold standard
but the fact is it has no argument TO
convince honest seekers for light on the
money question. A story is told Of Tim
othy z. Byrnes when speaking for Nc
Kinley in the rural districts. Being
asked by a friend why he made no at
tempt at argument, Tim, with that pc
culiar seraphic smile on his handsome
countenance, bluntly replied: 1--WE have
no argument to make" So it is with
the Journal. 1t finds 1t easier to misrep-
resent Bryan than to enlighten the
ignorant.

THE WoLCOrT COMMISSION

Mckinlcy'S bimctallic ENJOYS to Ia
rope are making slow progress in
their mission, and lis the MINNEAPOLIS
Journal says. lit is about time to call
the aggregation home" The same
thing was said by Lord Farrer few
days ago when he cXclaimcd: What
America needs is Il restoration of Il
sound system of currency, and this she
will not get while the ignis fatuus of
international bimctallism abstracts the
attention of her rulers. The sooner we
can help to lay that phantom the better
for both countries"
The British noblcman is correct in
what he says. and every sensible Amer
lean realizes the fact. The Republicans
who advised President Mckinley to send
the embassy to Europe had no cxp"cta-
ton of its success in England. The
English government and the English
flnancicrs will WELD all the influence
they possess to prevent any Internal
tional agreement on the money question.
AT previous international conferences
the English representatives succeeded in
throwing Il wet blanket over the pro-
ceedings. and nothing practicable was
done towards the restoration of silver as
standard money. 1t is to England's
interest that silver shall remain pcrpet-
ually demonetizcd, as Mr. Gladstone
explained some years ago. Why then
does President Mckinley keep his three
ambassadors in England? Simply be-
cause he desires to impress the Amerl-
can people with the notion that the
party which nominated him at ST. Louis
was sincere in it's declaration when it
pledged itself "to promote international
bimetallism" while favoring the exist
ing gold standard"
The Republicans who always stood for
a bimetallic currency supposed that the
plutocrats who managed the campaign
would do their utmost for silver. and
knowing that Mckinley himself had said
in the house of representatives on June
"a, 1890: II am for the largest use of
silver in the currency of the country"

people have simply held aloof. and
