DEATH OLE MIR. sTICKNEY.

II was with profound sorrow that the
people of Richmond read in the papers
Yesterday the announcement OF the death
of the Rev. Fenner $. Stckney, rector OF
Monumental church.
Mr.. Stickney was man or great per-
sonal MAGNETISM, a man who knew how
TO win the confidence and love Of the peo-
ple; a man of strong intellect, OF great
mental and physical energy, and all MS
talents and forces were consecrated 10
the noble work On which he was engaged
He was a broad man whose love and
work was not confined within the bounds
even OF his own church He was the
friend Of the people. the communitys
preacher, and wherever there was work
10 do there was Mr.. Stickney found
1t is for these reasons that his
death is q public loss and a public sor-
row.
But for himself his death was his tn
umph. He was not permitted to feel tho
!nhrmities of old age, TO see the day OK
his usefulness pass away. But In the
prime of life in the midst Of his activities
he was called from work to everlasting
rest
"And he was not. for God took him.

rcthcr a most delightful one. without
storms and without cpidemics OF any
kind. and II has been peculiarly free
from the ordinary diseases OF the season.
People have had an abundance Of mel
ons and fruits and vegetables at prices
cheaper, perhaps, than ever before. Liv-
sng in Richmond. during the summer OF
1897. has been cheap and luxurious. Our
splendid system OF electric roads has
given the people an opportunity fur de-
lightful outing every evening at trifiing
cost, and we doubt If ever In the history
OF Richmond summer altogether SO de-
lightful as this has been known.
AS for business conditions, they have
been fairly good even during the hot sea-
son. and there is promise Of a genuine
revival of trade in the fall. The outlook
Is altogether encouraging and hopeful,
and the man or woman who does not feel
genuinely grateful TO God for the bless
ings which this city has enjoyed, Is In
sad need Of the prayers OF the church.

INTERNATIONAL BIMETALLIsM.

There is one phase OF the subject OF In
ternational bimetallism TO which, It seems
to us. sufficient attention has not been
given. Many people who believe In the
single gold standard have been inclined
to look upon the scheme OF an interDa-
tional bimetallic standard with good
natured tolerance on the score that 1t
was utterly impracticable, and. therefore
that no harm could come from hemoring
those persons who profess to be eager to
see Il brought about. II was this f~eling,
apparently, which led TO thu adoption or
the international bimetallc plank in tho
last Republican national platform and 10
the action Of Congress last winter In pass
ing a bill appointing an international
monetary commission. We regard this
view of the matter as mistake IL
partakes Of the nature OF toying with
loaded weapons. OF playing with fire.
Richt-thinking people everywhere are
united in the opinion that the project or
an international bimetallic standard Is
ohimerical and absurd, but this docs not
alter the fact that the principle at the
bottom of ii Is at once dangerous ana

metallism," has been thrown out as
sop to the free silver people, and has
been used as dodge for those politicians
who were afraid to commit themselves
absolutely TO the gold standard.
Tho effect OF 1t has been TO keep alive
the silver question. and to shake the con-
fdence Of the business world in our finan-
cial system. 1t is one Of the weak points
in the Republican administration, fnan-
cially speaking. and the sooner the party
takes the advice Of the Commercial Ad-
vertiser and abandons the whole business
the better it will be for the party and for
the country.

RIVERSIDE. July 15-(Regular Corre-

has taken remarkable turn. All the ma
terial evidence was thrown out as unre-
liable and the jury was instructed to bring
in a verdict of acquittal. Judge Noyes
said thtere was a strong suspicion that
Beggs killed the child, but he was salts
fed that the evidence was not sufficient to
convict him. The jury. after being out
about five hours, reported that they could
not agree, standing six for obeying the
court and bringing in a verdict of &C
quittal and six for ignoring the instruc-
lions and returning a verdict of guilty.
The court ordered a new trial on August 3.
