The Lunenburg Case lins been an

There mould be no relinquishing of the

The struggle to get Brother Sewall
off the Popocratic ticket has not been
abandoned. It is a noticeable fact
that in his speeches, Mr. Bryan makes
no reference to the tail-part of his me?
nagerie.
Major William McKinley is doing
more effective campaign work from
the porch of his home at Canton, ().,
than lit. William J. Bryan can pos?
sibly do from the end of a Pullman
Palace Car racing through the coun?
try.
Th. Sound Money movement has
assumed stupendous proportions and
the work being done is of the moat
positive kind.
It is conceded that the East has
been made practically solid and Mr.
Bryan and his allied forces have been
forced to retreat to their western
atrong-holda.
There has been no weaker.ing on the
part of the men in the contest, and it
ja apparent that the result will be far
re aching and its decrees emphatic.
Mary Barnes, the last of the Lunen?

as yet confined in the Virginia peni?

Old Man Pollard proved an alibi
for her when he declared that she was
in the Held with him at the time the
murder was committed.
Yet, efforts had to be made to save
those in the shadow of the gallows. Aa
it stands now, papers are being drawn
up for presentation to the governor
with t view to secure her pardon. It
will be only a few days now ere she
will be free to join her family and the

Jon and the people who assisted her.
For fifteen long, dreary months aha
las been the object of a moat unjust
uspicion. And yet ?he has borne up

8 aa commendable as it has been re
mtrkable.

?ecured, she has escaped them all anti
Bits her ten months old babe ia re
loieingover the happy termination of
i case which engaged the attention of
the ablest attorneys in Virginia
There has been much told in con?
nection with this affair, there is much
more to tell,and it will be an interest?

print.
Old Man Pollard has gone to his
long home where he will me?et her who
led him.
He might have known that the kind?
hearted woman win* responded prompt
ly to his call and did all in her power
to assuage his grief and pay the last
tribute of respect to hia loved one,
could not have been guilty of such a
crime, the perpetration of which would
make a strongman tremble.
But Mary Aiiernathy has been
deeply wronged. She has undergone
a living death, but her last moments
will be made brighter by the fact that
for those who persecuted her, she did
what she could while praying to the
Father that his will be done and her

POWHATAN OLUB.
A.few years ago, this city waa agi?
tated by the demands of Powhatan
Club, at that time presided over by Mr.
Preston Belvin, who was the favorite
among the "boys "
All pernicious measures were fath?
ered by this organization. It demand?
ed separate accommodation for whites
not only upon the railroads of the state
but apon the street-cars of the city.
It demanded that the colored teach?
ers in colored schools should be dis?
charged and white ones put in their
places.
It failed in all of ita attempts to ar?
ray one class of citizens against an?
other.
Finally, di-integration set in. presi?
dent after president resigned, finance
checked up, and the organization
found itself in the throes of bankrupt?
cy. The club had hoped to be equally
as potent ir. pe | aa was
Tammin*,- in New York.
But ths money question loomed up,
?md again came turmoil and strife.
C. V. Meredith, Esw , the president
is opposed to free] silver and ita advo
cutes, and he has resigned. The mern
bers who were most liberal with their
contributions are now identified with
the Sound Money movement.
So ends the latest attempt to place
partisanary above principle, apoila
above party,
Powhatan Club is a ghost of ita for?
mer self. A requiem ia about to be
sung over ita form which is well-nigh
inanimate,and there are few mourners
at its bed side.
Well, 'tis best that it should be so.
A lesson to the demagogue of the future
and a lasting reminder to those who
were tempted to emulate its example.

Oolored Man Lynched m Alabama
Special Dispatch to Globe-Democrat.
Bitler, Ala., September 24?John
Fitch, a colored ex-convict, was lynch?
ed near Chapel Hill, Choctaw County,
last evening. Tuesday night Fitch en?
tered the room of Miss Hcwington,
daughter of W. J. Hcwington. His
movements awakened the girl, and
when ahe screamed the colored man
fled. He was captured yesterday and
given a preliminary trial and bound
over to the Grand Jury. While en
route to Butler Jail, the officers were
overpeiwered by a mob and the colored
man hanged to a tree. The colored
people are greatly agitated over the

only 40.89M,547 bushels of wheat.

The annual loss to the farmers on crops
for the sanio period ls estimated at $728,
721,879, making a total loss to the farm?

This gives but a faint suggestion of tho
size and weight of the "erown of thorns"

of the farmer.

COIN HARVEY WANTS GOLD.
He Calls on a Chicago lt?nk timi Ask* For
S..MM> -In eiol.l."
By advocating silver Mr. Harvey has
reaped a harvest in gold.
Yesterday morning W. EL Harvey
monly known as "Coin" Harvey. bSBBBSB
of his authorship of a series of alleged eco
noinic papers under that name, OBSaB down
town. He was accompanied by Miss Josie
Hlx, his stenographer and confidential
clerk. The two went to thc Metropolitan
National bank at L?a Salle and Mounto
streets. They went to the window of the
paying teller, and Mr. Harvey handed in a
narrow, long slip of paper, partly written.
jvtrtly printed. It was a check. It was Mr.
Harvey's check. It called for f*.,5on.
"I want it In gold," said Mr. Harvey.
An*d mo, because he was a good fellow and
beoause he had more money and was nice
and didn't demand all In gold, and be?
oause lt seemed best all around to do lt.
Cashier Hitchcock made a mark on the
cheek, and tbe paying teller counted out
125 gold pieces.
Each was a little smaller than a silver
dollar, but a good deal heavier. Tbe whole
(2,600 made a glittering yellow column
somewhat over nine Inches high.
Tho silver prophet swept that much of
the detested metal into the canvas bag
and walked out of the bank with his ste?
nographer.
He was destroying the power of gold as
other men have attempted to destroy the
power of rum. He had proved his antipa?
thy to it by absorbing some of lt?by tak?
ing that much out of circulation.
Then he took lt over to Dearborn street
and put lt in a safety deposit vault
The place from which he took it and
the place to which he removed it are pre?
cisely two blocks apart. But that short
walk of "Coln" Harvey with hi* bag of
gold meant more than 1,000 speeches.
The bank ls good. Mr. Harvey had no
fear of its suspension. But he preferred BO
have the money where he could lay his
hands on lt at any time without asking
leave of any cashier, paying teller or Kink
president. And be wanted it In gold. Har
vey claimed that he wanted the gold to
use as an objeut lesson in his speeches?

NOT UNFRIENDLY TO SILVER.
Mr. Bryan is continually talking of
tin* unfriendliness of the American gov?
ernment to silver. He even goes ko far
B>-i to as.-ert that "no silver is being
coined now." Both assertions art" as
wide of the truth as so many of the boy
talker's declarations have bess. As a
matter of fuet, this government has not
boen unfriendly to silver?rather the
opposite. In seven months ol' Um
ent year there were coined by the gov?
ernment moro silver dollars (98??V63?*>
412) than were corned (f6.081tSS
the SI years which elapsed bstWSSB the
ishuient of our monetary BJ
in 1792 and what tho Bryanitos call
"the demonetization of silver ' in ls7:i!
It doesn't look as if the government
unfriendly BO silver wheu more
silver eloilnrs SSSSOinsd in thes'
months than in Si years. Furthermore,
the no calle-d "demonetization" of
no lesB than 410,790.041 silver
dollars have been coined. That doesn't
look niifriendly either.
Aa iu many other OSSBB, Bryan has
simply been talking about matters on
which ho either hicks information or is
deliberately seeking BO deceive thc peo?
ple. ?_

A melted silver dollar is worth only

it contains f>;5 cents' WOttO of bullion,
which has tlie same value aftt r it is
incited as it had before lt is not worth
any more than f>3 cents, besssse the 17
cents' worth of confidence which it con?
tained before it was melted has been
ps& Piss eakumm bbssss ths tts
Btruction of tin* public confidence in the
American dollar. It means a Bl
dollar instead of tho 100 cent dollar
wo have now.
Are you insured? Free coinage would
CUt'down the vallie of your policy one
half by making the policy payable in .">()
cent dollars instead ot Ititi cont dollars
as now. Have you any money in bank?
Frit* coinage would reduce the value of
it one-half for the same reason. Do you
draw a pension? Free coinage would
diminish the value erf it one-half again
for tho same reason. Free coinage
would take away one-half the value of
all tho morney you received.
Texlay it requires 81 ounces of silver
to purchase 1 ounce of gold. If we coin
ed silver at 1G to 1, therefore, we would
be forcing on ourselves a dollar of a
purchasing power or debt paying power
of but little over one-balf the present
dollar of our ourreiiey, all its dollars
being kept up to a value of 100 outs
each by the existing gold staiieluril.
"Good money never mado hard

felicitous is General Harrison's perti?

publican success at an election never
created alarm.

Adjust the tariff on a wise and rea?

One of the points to l>o kept in view
