CORRESPONDENCE.
BRAVE PATRICK MCGRAw.

A poor boy bat noble
Was Patrick hcGraw,
The finest good fellow
Thst ever you saw.
"No mean thing for Patrick"
Was ever his law,
The bravest of mankind
Was Patrick McGraw.
He fought in his youth time
With poverty strong,
And early in manhood,
He stood high among
His richest compstriOts,
For nothing could awe
The brave Erin laddy-
Brave Patrick MEG Jaw.
When poor he was noble,
Aud brave as sea,
When rich h did change not.
For constant was he;
The same gen'rous nature
Which had ne'er flaw,
Still welcomed old friends of
B ave Patrick McGraw
He once was trudge boy,
But now stern Judge,
Not a bit from the straight line
OF right would be bulge,
And tho, he presides In the
High courts OF law,
Yen find meath the errnine,
Brave Patrick McGraw.
From Judge he was Colonel,
Then General brave,
His measure was full, now,
OF all he could crave:
He'd wealth and high station,
With honors of war,
And the heart of the nation
Did beat for McGraw.
But proudest of all in
The life of McGraw
Was one day in youth when
The gore he did draw
In a fight with some Williams,
Whose pstes he beat raw,
10 defence of some weaklings,
Did brave Pat. Graw.

STUDYING THE INDIANS.
Work of DR.. Boa2 and DR.. Farrand
In British Columbia
Trying to Ascertain Origin of Coast

Connected with the Ash

DIR. Franz BoaZ, who for ten years has
been making n study Of British Column

and who also heads the expedition
which the American museum of naturnI
history sent out last spring. is again
IN Victoria. II. C., with DR.. Farraud, who
is also engaged in the work of collect
ing information about the Indians. He
came down from the north on the steam
or Tees
Since last year the two scientists have
covered an immense territory, first 20
Ing to the interior of the province and
then coming out TO the northern coast
The work i'm the north was largely de-
voted TO the physical types of the alb
origincS and measurements. casts and
photographs were taken, which will be
the subject of later investigation. DIR.
Farrand made a study OF the customs
and traditions of the Chilkat Indians
at Port Essington. DR.. Boaz paid par
ticular attention 20 the art. paintings
and carvings of Indians. cndcnvoring to
fathom their meaning. While at Rivers
Inlet study of the native language was
made. At Bella Bella Mr. Farrand gath
cred much information as TO serial or
ganization and family history. Incl
dental1y, a number OF specimens were
secured. but information was what was
principally sought. The work done in
the interior was a continuation of the
work of the British association, which
they have been carrying on since 1887.

that on the coast was prosecuted for the

The idea is to ascertain the origin of
the coast Indians and whether any re-
lationship exists between them and ma
tives of the Asiatic coast.
Study will be made of Indians from
the Columbia river TO Behring straits
and down along the Asiatic coast TO
lower Siberia. From what is known of
the traditions and customs OF natives
of the two coasts, DR.. Boaz is convinced
that they are related, and that the first
Indians on this side of the Pacific came
from Siberia.

CONCERNING REPUTATION
Is JustifnbIe When Applied to Un.
Just and Oppressive Conditions

Is JustinabIe When AppIsed Tn lin
Just md Oppressive Conditions.
The cry of Reputation" and "an-
orchy' so persistently indulged in by
the eastern goidbug press against the
advocates of bimetallism, may not be so
potent bugaboo as would appear upon
first thought. Repudiation of unjust
and oppressive conditions is not with
out either precedent or justification in
Anerlcan history. The dumping OF
that tea into Boston harbor and the war
OF the revolution that followed were
cases Of "repudiation" which have with
stood the test of time and adverse crit
icism. The abolition of slavery is an.
other instance of the kind which has re.
ceived The unqualified approval of every
civilized nation of the world. Lepisla.
tive nat can never make wrong right.
ana when unjust and discriminative
laws have doubled the purchasing power
OF the dollar, while it's debt-paying pow
er has not been increased i'm any de.
gree, it is right in line with the sturdy
American idea OF equity and Justice that I
so monstrous wrong to the debtor
class should be "repudiated" by such
legislation as will correct the evil.
Eight-tenths of the vast indebtedness
or this country was contracted under q
bimetallic system. and il is ANYTHING
but repudiation when the debtor de-
mands that he be allowed to discharge
his obligation under the same financial |
conditions. The bimetallist is not a re-
pudiator, because he proposes to paw
his debt with a dollar of equal purchas-
ing power with the one he received.
Nor is he an anarchist, for he proposes
to right his wrongs according to the
constitution of the government under
which he lives.
So far as the financial affairs of this
country are concerned, at least, free and
unlimited coinage of silver-the bimet.
alhsm of the constitution as it existed
prior TO 1S73-is the only basis of equity
between debtor and creditor.-Denver

HE WAS GUN-SHY.
A Veteran Wounds Took Away
His Patriotism.

Two well known Richmond gen.
tlemen were discussing the Spanish
American imbroglio in the lobby of
the Jefferson Club last night. One
was in favor of declaring war without
further ceremony. He had never
been to War before. The other
gentleman, who is considerable older
and was woundsd in the late war,
remarked deliberately: Don't
believe in tearing the business
interests of the dountry all TO pieces
over lot of half breeds. Never saw
so much Jingoism. They call it
national loyalty. All rot. It's moth
ing bet craze for notoriety."
"Wouldn't you go to war if Spain
should invade our countryF" asked
man who had been listening.
No, sir; 1 would not" replied the
veteran firmly. "Not if they put a

The Cincinnati Enquirer has takeu
the trouble TO have a large number of
men who are travelling all over the
country interviewed as to whether they
have heard anything of this fatal de-
cadence among free silver people, and
almost everyone of those interviewed
declared that they had not met a sin

reported a decided gain in the silver

The Effect of War on Business
Richmond Mines.

, Richmond Mines
We find two significant news
items in the Lynchburg News of
Thursday last The first is an an.
nouncement that the Glamorgan
Works of that city shave taken steps
to secure all specifications necessary
for the manufacture of the big pro
ject;les for which there would be a
large demand should war be declar.
ed between this country and Spain. +"
The other is that Il prominent
member of the Board of Directors of
the Lynchburg Cotton Mills said to
n reporter of the News that the
Board had decided to postpone any
further action towards doubling the
mills capacity until the trouble now
existing between this country and
Spain had been settled. And it is
added:
1t will be remembered that the
board decided OH undertaking. the
extensive Improvement over a month
ago aud submitted recommendation
to that effect to meeting of the
stockholders held in the Y. Nj. G.. A.
last week The stockholders were
unanimous in endorsing the plans
Of tue directors, aud if the present
condition of affairs between Spain
and the United States should be ter.
minated i'll favor of peace, it will be
only IA very short while before the
plans of the directors will be put into
execution
There Is something in this for re-
flecSion to those who seem to have
the idea that war means prosperity.
War does give Al impetus TO certain
branches, and those establishments
which make the supplies of war are
necessarily busy for the time.
A'Nt wa uOtS ilOb utiD
the general business of the country.
Men do not branch out in business
during war times, because conditions
are too uncertain, The Lynchburg
factory that makes war prolectiles
will naturally enlarge it's business, if
war shall come. But the men who
own the cotton mills are not disposed
to extend, but rather to curtail, their
operations
When the country is at peace, when
there are no disturbing elements,
when conditions are normal, when
the people generally are at work
producing and consuming, then ard
only then is there general prosperity.
