1t is learned from trustwort by source that
the Cramps will build ten torpedo boat de-
stroyers for the Russian Government, in atdi-
ton to the battle ship and armored cruiser,
for which contracts have already been signed
The total involved is said to be $4,000, 600.

Dr. Louis E. Berthe. one of the best
known physicians of Mount Vernon, Long Is;
land, N. Y, and the President of the local
Board of Health, died there Monday evening
from the effects of blow on the head, which
he received while walking home from the
Common Council chamber on Saturday night
The case is shrouded in the deepest mystery
and the police have been unable to get the
slightest clue to the assassin. 1t is thought
that DR.. Berthe was sandbagged, but the mo-
tive for the crime is not apparent.

The Governor Fooled.
From the Baltimore American of June 3

The directors of the Maryland Penitentiary
are to be cordially congratulated upon their
service to the public and their own man
hood in standing against the spoils politics of
Governor Lowndes and his Allegany county
candidate. 1t is stated in the papers that
Governor Lowndes is much incensed over his
defeat, but he ought to be used to such things
by this time.
The general reader who skips over local
politics in these war times as unworthy of his
interest will find that this case will repay a
little attention 1t seems small incident,
but it is in reality direct, merciless and
singing defeat for Governor Lowndes. Daniel
Houck, the candidate for the position of
warden, has been for long time one of the
Governors factotums. He was around the
Executive Mansion during the session of the
legislature, and he was member of what is
known as the Courthouse Ring in Cumber-
land. Governor Lowndes made Houck' S
cause his own, but four of the six directors
voted against him, and both Houck and
Lowndes were turned down.
If it had not been for Warden Weyler's re-
markable record-the best of any peniten.
tiary warden in the country-the Governor
might have succeeded in putting another OF
his henchmen in office, and thus the Office
holding population of Ward in Cumberland
would have been increased. And yet Lowndes
was elected as a reformer.

Coin Silver and Issue Greenbacks.

Coin Silver and Issue Greenbacks.
From 1861 to 1865 one half of the Uuion
was in rebellion. A large part OF the other
half. now a rich and productive section, was
unknown. With the security offered and the
uncertainty of the result of the war it was not
surprising that greenbacks were at discount.
A notes value is governed by the security
hack of it. Should the Government issue
$50, 900, 900 to pay the expenses OF the war
with Spain every dollar would be worth one
hundred cents. The gold bugs do not want
an issue ofgreenbacks. They prefer the issue
of bonds. in which they can safely invest
their money.
The gold-bug fraternity do not pay their
due proportion of taxes. They manage to
escape that part of their duty to the govern
ment. while always endeavorng to control
public affairs.
The taxes are paid by the middle class,
financially speaking. These people would
have an issue of greenbacks, which would not
bear interest, to pay war expenses rather
than have bond issue that creates Il public
debt and requires semi-amnual pawn ent OF
interest.
The people who will have to pay the ex-
penses of the war should have control OF the
matter. Greenbacks were good enough 1861
to 1866. They will be good enough in 1898.
Issue greenbacks, coin the silver seinorage,
save a public debt and interest.
They will not have to be redeem ed. The
people need larger volume of currency.

Rowdy Rough Riders.

From the Floresville Chronicle, May 2G, 1898.
There seems to be some rowdy rascals
among the Rough Riders at San Antonio.
Two of them went out on a lark Saturday
night and as a result Polk Neal, peaeeable
citizen and his son Henry, are laid up for re-
pairs and fine horse is dead. Neal is q
dairyman and was returning from the city IN
his milk cart closely followed by his son,
when two horseman approached in gallop
One of the men said 'Lets show him how
we kill Spaniards." He dashed up to the
milk cart making his horse jump, bringing
the animals front feet down in the cart, break
ing the cart and badly brIising Mr.. Neal.
The riders rushed ahead. The old man S son
gave chase in his cart as far as Lamb S store
on South Flores Street, where he exchanged
his cart for horse that was saddled and tied
in front OF the store. He rushed after the
riders, when suddenly his horse stumbled and
fell against barbed wire fence cutting its
throat and almost severing the young mans
leg. The Riders escaped.
Mr.. Neal, the gentlemen referred to above
is a nephew of our townsman Mr.. ID. L. Neal.

This did not include the cost of target
