. Obituary. Mrs. Sarah J. Aslj died at her home iu Petersburg July 13, l*9t». Her funeral service were conducted by her pastor, the Rev. J. W. Elder, at the Cumberland Presbyterian church, Wednesday, July 15, at 10 o'clock a. m , in the .presence of a large congregation. Mrs. Ash was bom in a house which stood on the present site of the Read hotel, July 20. 1*25. She lacked orily a few days of being 71 years old, and has lived all these years, but one, in the vicinity of her birth plate. She has, therefore*, been connected with the history of our town from an early day. Mr>. Ash was first married in 1852 to Richard D. Tislow, who died in June, 1*66. She afterwards married Louis Ash, who died in December, 1883. She was the mother ul five children, four of whom are yet li* ng: Mrs. Lizjzie Heart of Pars, ns, Kansas; Mrs. Sutlie Russell of Arkansas; Mrs. Adda Barker of Louisville, Keutuckv, and John Ashi of Athens. Texas. Her children were all present at tier funeral. Mrs. Ash was a woman of more thau ordinary intelligence for one of .her tiny, and her opinions and advice on matters of interest in the community j*en? always respected. She became a member of Cumberland Presbyterian church when. the but 16 years'of age, and her long life of Chrisver Her tiaii faithfulness and good work will remain a blessing to the eotnmunity, zeal for any good cause oftlen went beybnd her strength. She was teacher of the infant ^lass in the primary dejiartroenjt of her Sunday aohool for mank years, and her success in gathering the little ones into the Sunday school is marked by the fact that her class had often to be divided to make room for ot hers. She .was a valuable member of thb missionary society of the church; was foremost in the work of the Woman's Christian Temperance union, and had charge of the jail work, and often vijsited the inmates of our county [jail and held re ligiour services among them. There are few women that would |e mi-sed for'their work's sake more than will Mother Ash. Her aged mother. Grandma Miley, aj* she is familiarly known, is how in her 91st vear, and has lived tv* l*urv her last i As a blessing falling like a benediction ou dike, lov.e^jnother, Children aud • grandchildren .will be the memory of the (faithfulness, liness ami sweet Christian example of this daughter and mother.

Washington Letter. (From our regular correspondent.? . ✓ Washington, July 13,1896. The Hon. William Jennings Bryan of I Nebraska, the democratic candidate for president, needs no introduction to the | democrats of the United States, although he is only 86 years old—the youngest man ever honored with the presidential nomination— his two terms in congress did that thoroughly. lie was a inernWr of the house iu the fifty-second and fifty-third congresses and would probably still he a member if the republicans had not gerrymandered the first district of Nebraska, which he so | ably represented. In each of the congresses in which he sat he had the honor, although j he was one of the youngest members, of making the speech which was most widely circulated. The first of those speeches was delivered March 16, 1892, aud was against the McKinley tariff law. That speech i made hi> fame, and may be* considered as having been one of the dirqtt causes of his having been nominated for president by the Chicago convention, ahd was more widely distributed as a campaign document by the 'democratic congressional campaign committee than any other speech on the subject, and he became in a day one of the most talked about men in congress. The other speech was made at the extra session of congress,'Called to repeal the purchasing clause of the Sherman, silver law, aud was against repeal. That speech was at the time, r.nd is still, regarded as one of the ablest arguments ever made in either braueh of congress for the free coinage of silver, and millions of copies have been sent out by the silver men, and it will probably be even more widely circulated during the coming campaign. Mr. Bryan is thoroughly democratic in his manner and ways of living, is easily approached, always affable, but never *‘g»ggy.~ lie is a member of the Presbyterian church, and whfn in Washington he always attended with his wife, the New York avenue Presbyterian church. His wife is, like himself, a lawyer,buf she didn't studv law with the intention of practicing, but merely took the diploma iu order to make herself more companionable to her husband. Mr. Bryan is poor and he never makes any attempt to apf'ear otherwise. When in Washington he and his family— wife and three children—occupied apartments in the house of a resident of the unfashionable section in the immediate vicinity of the Capitol building, and with the exception of an occasional lecture before the Y. M. 0. A„ iu which hi* takes a deep interest, his time was devoted to his congressional duties, and to study. After he made his first sj«eeclr and became a congressional iiou, Washington society tried to entice him and Mrs. Bryan within its silken coil, but it was time wasted. Ha felt that he had something more important to do than to exhibit himself at fashionable sociable entertainments. * . .

Mr. Bryan was thus described a few months ago when no one bad any idea that he would t»e the candidate, this year at any raU: Bryan is a collegiate scholar, and has atom! away in his capacious cranium much of the golden grain of wisdom and little of the husk^ and it is all there for use, either for argument or embellishment. Some men are so ugly and so ungainly that it is a positive advantage to them as public speakers. Some men are so handsome and graceful that they are on good terms with the audience before they open their Ups. Of the latter class Bryan is a shining example. Ills appearance is a patsport to the affections of his fellow men. 1 Hon. Arthur Sewaii of Maine, who ha- , been nominated for vice-president, gives | the ticket a geographical balance which will unquestionably add strength to it. He has had wide experience in politics, having been prominently identified as a member of the national committee with the management of every democratic national campaign of recant years. Mr. Bewail is a successful shipbuilder and business man. It in generally believed in Washington that the populist and silver conventions

which are to meet at St. Louis next week will endorse Bryan antj Sewall and the democratic platform. There is much talk in Washington of the probability of President Cleveland and the members of his cabinet joining with the sound money democrats in a movement for the nomination of an independent democratic ticket on a gold platform, but it is based more upon conjecture tha n upon fact. It is, of course, certain that a considerable number of men who have been democratic leaders will refuse to support Bryan and Sewall and the Chicago platform—that was indicated by the refusal of the most of the gold men to take any further part in the convention after they were defeated on the platform. But will they carry any considerable number of democratic voters with them? That is the important question. Senator Call of Florida," now in Washington, was asked if he thought the gold democrats would bolt He replied: “Many of the leaders will, but the masses will not. The trouble is that the leaders are not in touch with the masses and do not know what they feel. Hie banks and the big newspapers will oppose Bryan and Sewall, but that will help elect them.” Money Made in a Minute. I have not made less than sixteen dollars auy day while selling Centrifugal iee cream freezers. Any one should make from five to eight dollars a day setliug cream, and from seven t^i ten dollars selling freezers, as it is such a wonder, there is always a crowd wanting cream. You can freeze cream elegantly in one minute and that astonishes people so they all want to taste it and then many of them buy freezers as the cream is smooth and perfectly frozen. Every freezer i» guaranteed to freeze cream I perfectly in one minute. Any one can sell ice cream and the freezer sells itself. My sister makes from ten to-fifteen dollars a day. J. F. Casey & Co., 1143 St. Charles street, St. Louis, Mo., will mail you full I particulars free, so you cau go to wo’fk and make lots of money anywhere, as with one one freezer you can make, a hundred gallons of cream a day, or if you wish they will hire you ou a salary.

CONCERNING TIN PLATE. Influx of Foreign Tin Hw Not let M»iie It# Appearance. The Republican newspapers are returning to the discussion of tin plate, but they do not at all agree, says the Louisville Courier-Journal Some say the industry is knocking the Welsh makers out entirely, while others say that ottr domestic producers are barely able to li$^>and are making no profits. As usual both parties agree in misrepresenting the Democratic papers. They say the Democrats took the position that tin /.late cannot be made in this counju^e-^Ou the contrary, the Democi^ittst ;ike fhe position that almost everything can bo made in this country if the people are/willing to pay prices high enough to l/ave it made at home. The Courier-Journal has frequently quoted Mr. Cronmeyer's testimony, given before the McKinley bill was passed, that he could make t, a plate as cheaply as foreigners, or v ids to that effect What The Courier-Journal and many other papers did during the campaign of l $9 2 was to show that reports of the establishment of tin plate mills in various parts of the country were fakes, and the output of those actually existing was greatly exaggerated. Campaign lies of this sort were very common at the time, but they were pretty generally exposed. The Wilson bill reduced the tariff on tin plate from 2 1-5 to 1 1.-5 cents a pound, and the manufacturers said they were ruined. Now The Iron Age tells us that the Welsh tin plate industry is in a state of collapse, owing to the inability of the manufacturers to sell to Americans to the extent they did formerly. This falling off of their business is due to the competition of American mills. Foreign tin plate is still in the market, but standard grades sell for more per box than American tin. This may be because it is a better article, though American manufacturers deny this, and say that their plate is really superior to the foreign plate selling at 10 to 15 cents more per box. If this is true, the Americans are underselling the imported article with the present tariff. WThy j did they ask a cent a pound more protection if 1 1-5 eents is enough? And why did they sell tin plate at $1 or $2 more a box than they do now?

Monrjr th» Sol* loan*. Those Republican politicians who talk about making the tariff the issue of the presidential campaign would have their eyes opened as to the hope* j lessness of such a programme if they j could read the Oregon newpsapers for a j week before the election cf last Mon* j day. The financial question was the only one that cut any figure in the can- \ vass, and the free coinage of silver was the sole topic of discussion in the press and on the platform.—New York Post Getting Tired at Bom Platt. Looking some distance ahead, the Syracuse Post (Rep.} says: “Until the power of the Platt machine to control legislation and to commit the Republican party to dangerous and harmful policies is broken, the masses of the Republican party in the state must suffer reproach. They should begin the good work in every assembly district by defeating at the primaries every machine candidate for the legislature. ” Ut Um Tariff >lww. The proper way to take the tariff out of politics is to let it. alone. Any attempt to alter it in the interest of tbs trusts will succeed only in taking the authors of the attempt out of politics.— Exchange. Or.

The great financial question now confronts us. We do not claim the ability to solve the money problem, but we will venture a few stray suggest ious upon the subject. The point in view is, shall the present gold basis continue to exist and the business of our government become more and more corrupt and uncertain, or will we through the instrumentality of our suffrage in November adopt a system of bimetallism, make silver equal to and uponli parity with gold, good for all "debts, both public and private. Coin the present surplus of silver bullion at the ratio of 16 to 1. Pay off the nation’s bonded indebtedness therewith, and as a further Use it might be employed in defraying the expenses of carrying on the government. We see no hindrance to j Uncle Sam managing h|s own affairs and ’ economically administering to the needs of j the people of our country. Farmers and : laiiorers want free silver, they nped free silver and will have free' silver before the contest closes. 'Why should we allow Wall | street, Lombard street ey any other monied j monopoly to dictate, control or in atty way influence our monetary regulations? Arp we not a free and independent nation? Do'5 we intend to adopt or |to even consent to. the adoption of a single gold standard merely m order to imitate some foreign power, such as England or France? Certainly not. The United States is no monkey, j neither is tlie monkey peculiar to "North America. But republican leaders are moukeying with the people. We should establish a money system suitable to the demands of our peopije. We have both metals and can safely and securely use both in the- production of our coin, and place them upon a parity wifh each other without the shadow of a doubtdjor the least interference of trade. Why borrow gold, issuing bonds for same, while possessing silver bullion enough and to spare in the vaults of the treasury, needing only the government’s stamp to make it useful? The gold advocates claim that our silver dollar is rejected in the foreign markets. | We arise again to proclaim the fact that the Unitid States is a self-sustai iitig nation.- It is the best proportioned, the most amply equipped as! a home for humanity of ally country on the i globe. Thiuk of its delightful.climate, its j fertile toil, its 'agricultural and mineral j resources. A country so well supplied can i indeed and in truth govern itself to the! utmost. So let us have a free exercise of j governmental affairs and prosperity will | soon be seen to dawipi upon us with the brilliancy of a morning sun.

I sent for one and found it so useful that I showed it to my friends, and made $13 in two hours, taking orders for the spoon. The hook spoon is a house hold necessity. It cannot slip into the dish or cookiug vessel, being behl in the place by a hook on the back. The spoon is something housekeepers have needed ever since spoons were first invented. Any one can get a sample spoon by sending ten, two cent stamps to Miss Frit*. This is a splendid way to make money around home. 4:18 Very truly, Jrsxrrrjs S.
