Leedy, of Luray, Page county, and is

a statement of facts which in my opinion
absolutely justifies his course, and fur
Their, that he has yielded TO every request
that this lady has made upon him. She
gave him ten acres of land voluntarily
without solicitation, and after she had Civ
en- il. she requested that he be satisfied
withfive acres of IL, and that the remaining
hve should be conveyed to her mother
Mr.. Wharton consented to this, but when
the creditor who held the mortgage on
this property, which had been given by
this lady. was asked to release his lien.
he declined TO do so, and he then offered
10 convey ner the One-halt OF the prop

was declined and the matter stood in this
way for some little time. She then ask

OF MADISON.

Stories of atrocities By the allied
troops come from China. A dispatch
from Tsku gives details of their con
duct which are fully as bad as, if not
worse than, anything done by the
Boxers. From Tientsin to Pekin a
path of ruin has been left. Houses
have been burned, shops looted, wo-
men shsmefully treated, old men and
children murdered. The Russians
are accused of being the worst often
ders.
The powers are slow to act on the
American-Russian suggestion that
the allied troops be withdrawn from
Pekin. An official in Washington
saws that the information so far re
ceived indicates that there will be a
diversity of opinion, whicn will in
sure the retirement of General Chat
fees troops.
Germany, Italy and Austria are
known to be opposed to withdrawal,
and it is suspected that Italy leans in
the same direction. Russia's action
came to all the European powers as a
sudden shock. The United States is
on record as opposing the sdvissbili-
ty of withdrawal, but is convinced it
is the best course if Russia is to with
draw. This situation, it is believed in
Washington, will soon cause a gener-
al evacuation of Pekin, though the
powers at present are drifting apart.
Is lie stated in official circles in Wash
ington that while the United States
is in no sense an ally of Russia in
China, she does not propose to enter
any coalition against her
Tuesdays papers say that China
now wishes to negotiate with the al
lies through a peace commission, and
there is no material change in the
situation there.

OBITUARY.

George Alfred Carper, son of John
A. Carper, died at his home two
miles south of Bcyce, aged eleven
months and three days.
oh how early he is resting,
In the tomb beneath a mantle of flow
ers;
Oh how soon we saw him dropping,
Like flower in midday heat.
Often we will wander to the graveyard,
Flowers to strew with loving care
On the grave of our dear George,
Where our loved one is sleeping there
And now our circle is broken,
And parting thus fills US with pain;
We hold as a glorious token,
The bright hope of meeting again.

The Present Coinage Ratio.

The Republicans have never at
tempted to change the 16 to ratio. and
Mr.. Mckinley is now coming silver
dollars at the ratio of 16 to ! without
waiting for the aid or consent of any
other nation on earth.-Bryan at Sails
bury. Md. Oct. "a.
This is a sample of the trickery to
which Bryan is resorting in his desper-
ate attempt to stem the tide against
him. The words quoted above We're
uttered by the calamity candidate in
reply to an inquiry, How about l6 10
?" and the object of the speaker was
to mislead his hearers into believing
that the government is following the
policy of free coinage at 16 to l. 1t is
nothing less than deliberate misrep-
resentation. There is no free coinage.
The government does not coin silver
dollars for private holders of silver
bullion, at the ratio of l6 to l or any
other ratio. What silver dollars are
being coined are made for the account
of the treasury, from bullion which be-
longs to the government and which
has been lying in its vaults for years
When it is converted into coin there
will be no further making of silver
dollars unless the country Is duped
into adopting the monumental stupid
ity of Organism. which proposes that
the United States shall coin all the Sill
Yer in the world and maintain it at a
parity with gold.
The assertion that the Republicans
have never attempted to change the
ratio of Is to is an equally con-
temptible misrepresentation. TO
change the coinage ratio for the actual
commercial ratio would be to rob the
people of half the present value of the
existing volume of silver money. Either
this. or else bankrupt the government
by making it make good the difference.
That is why the Republicans have
never attempted to change the Is to
ratio. They knew that to change it
meant disaster and ruin. But they
did something better. They decided
that there should not be another dollar
coined unless it was actually worth
one hundred cents. They resolved that
a dollar containing fifty cents worth of
bullion and fifty cents worth of fiat
was a disgrace to the government that
issued il and d fraud on the man who
r-ay compelled 20 receive 1t. IA- Re-
oupltcans propose thai the holders ~
those dec,itfal dollars snail oe 1u.iy
protected, but they are also determined
that no more of those dollars shall be
issued. Mr.. Bryan will deceive nobody
by such utterance as that at SALISBURY.
