silver, and declared for bimetallism by
and through International agreement"
If so. the Governor himself speedily
~repudtated the platform upon which he
was nominated. The convention was
held in Richmand on August IT, 1893.
The candidate nominated for Governor
went from the convention back to his
seat in the House of Representatives.
of which he was then a member. and
on August 2Sth voted in that body for
the free, unlimited n independent
coinage Of silver-without a trace Of
interna tional agreement III the PROPOSE
tion.-yea, voted for it at all the pro-
posed ratios.
The Virginia convention OF 1887,
which nominated Philip w. Mckinney
for Governor, declared for the free
coinage Of silver. and Governor O'Fei-
rail- supported him. after first being n
candidate against Mr.. mckinney on the
silver platform for the nomination. The
Virginia convention of 1899, which sent
delegates to the National convention,
and Of which the Governor was Il mem
be-. re-approved that declaration. The
Virginia convention of 1893, which NOM
mated O'Ferrall. simply endorsed the
National Democratic platform of 1892
upon which President Cleveland had
been elected.
THE CHICAGO PLATFORM AND
THE TARIFF.
Again, the Governor does not IRE
membe: Alright" respecting the Chicago
platform and the tariff. He says
1T abandoned the iime-honored prin-
clple of tariff for revenue onIy cnuncia-
ted by every Democratic convention
which mentioned the tariff from 1910 to
1892" -
Not 30. The fact Is that the Demo-
cratic platforms of 1884 and 1883, upon
which MI. Cleveland was twice nomi-
mated. and which were framed by his
friends, did not declare for tariff for
revenue only" The fact hs also that the
Cleveland leaders in the convention of
1892. led by his eX-Cablnel officers. Villas,
Whitney and others, atoutly resisted the
for revenue only" expression, and that
every one of the Cleveland delegates
from Virginia voted with them against
1t.

SALVAGE MONEY FOR ASSISTING
DISABLED VESSELS.
From Casters Magagine.>'

$1,000 ~ -l
Owing to the hiSh salvage money ob-
tanned Tor rendering assistance 10 n dis.
anied snip ut sea, many steamers and
SAILING vessels carry on an irregular
sort of 'wrecliing business" by ALWAYS
helnS on the alert for stranded shIps,
a tramp steamer that could bring n
great transatlantic liner into port in a
disa%ied condition would realize more
money than its owner could make in n
trip across the sea with a full cargo. AS
an illustration Of what salvage money is
palu Tor towing steamers into port. men
ton can be made OF n few conspicuous
cases. In 1852 the City of Richmond
was towed into Halifax harbor and cost
her owners S35, 900 in salvage money. IN
III" same winter the City of Boston broke
her shaft at sea, and her owners vera
compelled to pay n bill for towing and
other AID of SIG, 800. When the Atlantic
liner Paris roke down of the Irish
coast in 1890 she was lowed into port
at an expense OF 100000.
SO rich are these prizes that the coast
wrecking companies frequently send
powerful tugs to sea just after q storm
In search of disabled vessels. If n
steamer IS several days overdue tugs
may go hundreds OF miles off the coast.
and In this sense the companies extendl
their !abors into new :ields. practlcink
wreckinG upon the high seas.

 The woman, who has gained quite reputation in this city, seems to be well our readers can supply the name-and her husband is as afraid of her as the very old al himself, and the husband is a very powerful man, physically, but he admits that his wife can whip him, and by the way, has often done it.
 The gambling-house keeper is much exercised over the way the woman entered his place of business. He says that he pays a license for the privilege of conducting his busi- ness, and that this license carries with it police protection. He says that today he is going to swear out a warrant against the woman for breaking open his door. When this warrant is issued the names of the parties will be made public to the few who do not already know them.

PresbyterIan ohurch Notice.

Although the Rev. R. G. Pierson failed to arrive as expected and com mence the regular series of meetings at the Presbyterian church. the meeting was begun anyhow and the first sermon was preached by their pastor, Dr. J. l.. Caldwell, and the sermon at night by Rev. J. II. Greer, paster of the second Presby- terian church. There were large congregations out both morning and night. The music and singing by the choir was very good, especially the solos by Mir. Dantzer, of Little Rock, at the morning service and by Mrs. Fred Dilley at night The sermon tonight will be preached by the Rev. ]. l.. Caldwell, and tomor- row night by the Rev J r. Carr, of the Riverside NJ E. church. As there has already been shown a great deal of interest in these meetings, as is shown by the large congregations at all the services, it is earnestly
 hoped that they will continue to come, and every Christian is expeete to make of him or herself a commit tee of one to invite others to attend, and don't let the failure of Dr. Pier son to come as expected, throw a damper over the meeting. Remefn- Der that no one man is the sole dis pensor of Gods truth, but that the success of this meeting rests solely upon the Christians of this commun- ity themselves; so leteveryone realize their own responsibility and try to meet it and God will reward them.
