10 to and the Republican Party.

The Republican party is trying to de
ceive the public again by great ado OF
I6 to /. Do they forget that this is the
legal ratio and at this ratio the party
passed law two years ago to coin 1900,
GOO silver dollars per month? The Re
publican party coined I8,2S47Io silver
dollars last year at this ratio Of I6 to I. If
they are dishonest dollars why does this
hypocritical party go on coming them
The Republican party have had all de-
partments of the government in their
hands and could have altered it. If they
were fair they never would have raised
this hue and cry as they know that the
ratio of IS and I6 to is the ratio that
have coined money. and it is the ratio
which is likely to exist for the next hun
dred years. England, France, Germany
and all the countries of Europe coin
money at ratio of about IS and ISL to /
from silver bullion which they buy from
America at about half the price, therefore
their silver money must be dishonest if
silver dollars are. The United States are
more liberal and pnt the ratio at 10 to L.
From " Momentous Issues
Can any honest Republican look HIM
self in the face after learning these facts
and reading the cant. humbug and lies
which his party papers TEEN with about
silverf The party renewed the coinage of
silver dollars two years ago. after passing
law to that effect. They meyer said a
word about I6 to ratio, but set the mints
to work to coming up about $oo, 900, 900
silver from bullion in the treasury, aud all
the nations of Europe are buying our
silver and coming money out of it at
about I5H to and every coin is at par
with their gold.
The increase of gold is not supplying
the demand for money which the increass
ing business of the world is calling for
and another panic is due soon after the
election, lit can be STAYED off so long,
whether Bryan or Mckinley is elected. II
Bryan is elected he will call on Congress
TO remonetize silver and the chances are
largely in favor that it will be done.
The business of the whole is demanding
the reconciliation of silver, aud Europe
will purchase the most Of our silver at I6
to and coin it at IS to I5H aoI.
Farmers are especially interested in the
free coinage Of silver again. India wheat
would then cost England 80 per cent
more and raise the price to that extent in
the Liverpool market.
The English shipping and manufacture
ing interest is especially interested in
keeping down to the lowest point food
products. which largely are supplied by
the United States By that means they
can feed their employees at the least ex-
pense, produce manufactured stuff at
lowest possible cost and sell it in sue
cessful competition in the markets of the
world. With our minis open TO the free
coinage of silver again. they lose all the
advantage from our low-priced agricul-
tural products, and we would gain by the
advance. We believe our farmers eyes
are beginning TO open to this fact.

Accidents.

Mr.. Michael Carney. foreman at the
Baker stone quarries, had the great toe on
his right foot mashed by big stone fall
ing on it. Mr.. Garvey was standing on the
bank, when a stone loosened from the
earth overhead and dropped down on his
foot, severly MASKING the great toe and
slightly MASKING the one next to it. Am
putation will probably be necessary.
Fred Kesler was struck in the stomach
by the stone in its descent but his injuries
did not amount to anything more than a
shock and bruise.
Louis Williams, a workman, had his
right foot badly mashed by stone falling
on it on Wednesday. The foot was badly
lacerated, but DR.. Barlow doesn't think
amputation is necessary, unless blood
poison sets in.
Hamilton Hook, a foreman, had two
fingers mashed while handling stone.
The end of the index finger was mashed
off and the middle finger was injured al
most as badly.

VIII Build Larger.

Although the Shenandoah Pants Fac
tory is now IN operation only three days
in week the company is making prepare
tons for large addition to the present
building, which will make the factory al
most twice as large as it is at present.
The present delay in operations is not
due to lack of orders, but to the lack of
material for making the trousers. AS soon
as the Wooden Mills catch up with the
orders. which they are working night and
da, to do, and the new mi.s at Barton
vile get in good running order. the factory
will be well supplied WIN material and
will be in full operation lgain.
In view of this and the increasing de-
mand for their goods, the company finds
that the present quarters are too small
and have contracted with Mr.. S. A. West
haver, the owner of their present quar-
tiers, for the erection of large addition
to the old building. The new addition
will be thirty five by forty feet, two stories
in height and will nearly double the ca
pacity.

Given a Hearing.

Arthur Harden, charged with the muir
der OF Nellie Madison. was taken before
Justice I. f. Byers Tuesday morning Tor a
preliminary hearing Eight Witnesses Tor
the State gave damaging evidence against
him and during the entire time Of the
trial the prisoner sat facing the witnesses
taking it all in. He sat with a solemn ex-
preston on his face as the evidence which
weaved the charge of murder tighter and
tighter about him was given and seemed
TO realize the weight that the words utter
ed by the Witnesses would have 10 bear
upon his case.
Prosecuting Attorney Pitzer represented
the State and w. w. Downey represented
the prisoner. Ward b. Lindsay took
down the evidence The witnesses ex-
amined were: Dr. S. N. Myers, Rev. Z.
p. Stealey, w. M. Hollis. Samuel Freeze
o. G. Dutrow, VIM, Thompson and Clara
Helms. Harden did not make any state
ment.
The evidence OF the witnesses for the
State was all very damaging. Probably
the most damaging evidence against the
prisoner was that of Clara Helms, sister
of Nellie Madison. She said Harden
flourished pistol before her on the Sun
day before the tragedy and said; Il got
the pistol for myself, Nellie Madison and
Joe Madison. hear that Joe Madison IS
going to come home and if he ever cross
es my path he is going to get IN trouble.
A negro won't be hanged for killing am
other negro. won't do like Will Fuller
and go to the penitentiary for shooting at
another negro and missing him. When !
draw gun am going to know that the
negro is dead before ! leave him" Mrs.
Helms also said that Harden had, on the
Sunday before the tragedy, said that he
had a notion oput five balls into her hus-
band.
The hearing was concluded at ten
minuets of one O'Clock. There was nc
argument by the attorneys. The Justice
committed Harden to Jail for the April
term of Circuit Court without bail. In
committing the prisoner the Justice said
there was no doubt in his mind, from the
evidence that had been given in,that the
| prisoner was guilty of the murder.

Found the North Pole.

The New York Herald publishes dis
patch announcing that Joseph Zolique
Laioie French Canadian, has discovered
the North Pole. Lajoie did not bring the
pole along with him, but he brought in
stead story which shows that he possess.
es an imagination of polished brilliancy,
He has been questioned, it is said, by
General Greely and Admiral CIV Melville
both of whom have records as artic eX-
plorers, and Laioie is reputed to have
''held his own" whatever that may mean.
Becoming separated from his compan-
ion on a hunting expedition in 1892, La
ioie claims to have been set adrift on an ice
berg, and to have been carried north Tor
thirty-six days, when he reached land. A
strange race of people surrounded him,
but by diplomacy he succeeded in making
friends with them. The headquarters OF
the strange people was in cave, filled
with hieroglyphics and giving history OF
the people for at least thirteen centuries.
In company with the natives Lajoie
pushed still farther forward and discov-
cred a burning mountain, which, from the
action of the compass in always bearing
toward it, he concluded was the North
Pole. The mountain perpetually lights
up the whole surrounding country for hun
dreds Of miles The natives of the land
are of great size, and live to be extremel J
old. Notwithstanding their burning
mountain they have no idea OF fire, and
their food is eaten raw.
Lajoie started on his return trip with
two of the natives. He fails TO explain
whether or not the iceberg was making
regular round trips. Probably in a fuller
account, which may be expected later, ii
will be explained that this iceberg is con-
trofed by great North Pole stock COM
panY is run by electric power supplied by
the aurora borealis, and has hrst-class
staterOom accommodations Unfortu-
nately, the two natives died, but Lajoie
got back all right. The only substantial
| ing evidence which Lajole produces IS
the new language, which, it is said, has
been photographed. This new language
he brought in his mind, as it was lighter
to carry IN that way.
The numerous arctic explorers yet liv-
ing, who have struggled against difficult
ties which have proved insurmountable,
and who have had behind them every re-
source which money could supply, will be
chagrlned to learn Of the ease with which
Lajoie has made the round trip to the
much-sought-for North Pole. The fact
that not one of them, living or dead, has
ever succeeded in getting within 800
miles of it will make the Canadians &C
complishment all the more astounding.
Its to be hoped that none of them will
be so envious as TO suggest that Lajoie IS
in the Sindad or Munchausen class of
travellers.
