An Attempt to Assassinate the Emperor Of
Germany.

On Saturday afternoon the Emperor of
Germany, while returning from drive
with the Grand Duchess of Baden on the
Avenue Inter der Linden in Berlin, was
fired at with revolver several times. No
body was hurt. The person firing the shot
was arrested, as was also an accOmpllce
who attempted to rescue him. The would
be assassin was tinsmiti named Emil
Heinrich Max kodei. from Leipzig. The
Emperor was at the opera and Royal
Theatre in the evenii G, and received
great ovation. The palace was also sur
rounded by dense masses of people from
the remotest suburbs giving expression to
their JOY at the Emperor s escape. The
prisoner on his examination denied having
shot at the Emperor. but stated that be
was OuI OF work and designed to commit
suicide in order TO show tho rich how the
poor were suffering FROM want of employ
ment. lie confessed to belonging to tn.
Socialist party, and had various SOcialistic
documents on his person.
At a reception Of the Ministers Wed
nesday, the Emperor said that such occur
ances as Kodel's attempt ought by NJ
means to be treated too lightly. Al TIN
time when he WAS himself member o.
tue Ministry he had always insisted upon
the danger which would result from the
triumph of the tendecies of the period hos
tile to the State. His apprehensions wert
confirmed by what happened in the year
1913. Now it was in still higher degree
the duty of the government to make every
exertion to prevent the revolutionary ele-
ments from gaining the upper hand. Be
fore The police Kodel reiterated his asser
tion that he did not shoot at the Emperor,
but several witnesses depose that they saw
him aim at his Majesty. 1t is expect
ed that his trial before the High Court
will commence shortly. The penalty for
his crime is death.

COMMUNISM.

These talks about communism in the
United States are very idle. The country
has too many pores it can sweat out the
vile humors that constitute the commune.
1t is free country and that is the bar
to it's success. People can talk over their
wrongs, they can do more, they can swear
at their rulers with perfect safety. The
country for commune must have closed
top, say like king or aristocracy-some-
thing over its head to bubble up against, but
here in America there is no top to the pot
and the dirtiest water can boil up and
steam out and leave its dregs in the bot
tom without damage to anybody or loss to
anything except, perhaps, to the dregs. The
great mass of the people in America either
own something or have kinship or sympa-
thy with somebody that does-.so thai even
the smallest earnings and savings are set
up against communism. The self respect
that free institutions give to the lndivid.
ual man will also prove an insurmountable
barrier to the progress of this ism. You
must degrade man in his own es timation
before he can feel that he is fit for no bet
ter companionship than is to be found in
the ranks of the commune. The only sort
of commune that will ever exist in Ameri-
ca, will be excited attempts OF mobs who
will take advantage of some temporary
disturbance among respectable class Of
men, as the mobs of last year seized upon
the strikes OF railroad men, to precipitate
theft and anarchy at different points.
But the very fact that such thing is
talked of in this country should be warn
ing to those leaders who are using the
first arguments of communism, by abusing
those exercising authority at the hands OF
the people, deriding the authority Of the
courts. making a mock of honest compli-
ance with contracts and denouncing those
whose only fault is that they hold obi
cations for which they gave their money.
Communists are the result of such teach
ings. The real and solid people of every
community should frown down such SEN
timents, come from whence they may.
When contracts are swept away, when
courts are emasculated of their power,
whore will stand the rights of the property
holder, of the Garner of wages and of tho
holders of wages earned? The most per-
! nicious doctrines ever advanced to a people
are those uttered in Virginia lately, and
which we sincerely trust, all who were delu-
ded by them are now beginning to see the
danger of.

HIGHLAND AFFAIRs.-The Highland
Recorder" of Friday, furnishes the fol-

lowing items Of interest:
Progress of q DeaJ-Mlhe.-We were
shown letter, few days ago, written Dy
little Frank Lindsay. son of Prof. S. Z.
Lindsay, of this place, which is somewLa'o
remarkable when we take into cQnsidera-
tion that it was written by little deaf
and dumb boy who, seven months ago, dld
not know letter in the alphabet. The
letter, of course, is written in style pecu-
liar to children, but when we recollect that
the child flor such he is-only 10 years OF
age) was sent to the D., D. and B. lnstl-
tuition at Staunton last September, not
even knowing bis A B C's, it is truly Won
derful The letter is written in a plain
legible hand, and punctuated correctly.
a Fish Story-Our correspondent from
the head of Jackson's River writes that as
a little son of John K. johnson was out
playing by the river, he suddenly came
upon trout from Is to IS inches long.
with young gosling in his mouth. The
gosling had been swallowed, head-fore-
most, as far as the shoulders, and with the
fish, was dead.
Land Sole.-CapJain Hiner has sold six
ty-fve acres of his farm to George Hiner
for 81, 500. He hopes soon to sell the re-
manning portion, as several parties are
making offers for it.
Sheep Killed By Dogs.-One night last
week, Mr. Peterson, of Mcdowell, had a
lot of sheep-some ten or twelve in num-
ber-killed by dogs. There were four dogs
and they had Travelled some five or six
miles to get into Mr.. Peterson's flock of
sheep. Next day, however, Mr.. P, killed
all four of the dogs.

HON INo RANpoLpH TUCKER ON rHE

HON. JNo. RANDoL Pr TUCKER ON THE
TARIFF QUEsT1oN.-The question OF tar
iff reform must have made decided step
forward yesterday. Surely, men VINO are
desirsus of legislating in the interest OF
the whole country could not have listened
to the argument of Mr.. Tucker without
becoming awakened to the Importance OF
this issue and the necessity for change.
To saw that Mr.. Tucker made great
speech but partially conveys an idea of the
force and grandeur of his effort. Old Vir-
ginia has always occupied front rank in,
The confederation of states, and her sons
have always maintained position among
the foremost of brilliant statesmen, and
Mr.. Tucker has demonstrated his claim to
high rank among the great names OF that
grand old commonwealth. NO report of
the speech could do it justice. No speech
during this session has commanded such
close attention. and no speaker, of all who
have addressed the House, has received
such compliments as were bestowed upon
MIR. Tucker. For more than two hours
the members kept their seats, listening
eagerly to every word. AT the conclusion
applause broke forth spontaneously from
both sides OF the House and was re-echoed
| from the we'll filled galleries. Wdshang-
| ton Post.
! The Washington Special to the "Dis-
patch'' makes the following most favora-
bic mention of the able speech OF Ran.
| Tucker On the tariff question, IN the
Ilonse on Wednesday last:
Mr. Tucker spoke over two hours to day
| in favor OF the W God tariff bill; and when
say it Was worthy of his distinguished
reputation, say great deal. for no one
here thinks he has a superior in the House.
Many Republicans came over on the Dem
ocratlc side, and everybody listened to
every word he said. Messrs Garfield, Cox
of Ohio, and Butler sat close to him until
he concluded. The congratulations he re-
celved were not formal, but were earnest.
Every Viiginian present was proud OF the
representative from the Rockbrldge dis
| trict.
| Tonight at the hotels congressman of
both parties are paying Mr.. fuckers effort
the highest compliments. No speech in
either house this session has attracted more
attention or received more unqualified
praise. In oratory, argument, and style
it was eminently the effort Of a statesman.

THE FRAUDS AGAIN.

On Monday in the House Of Representa-
lives Mr.. Potter presented preamble and
resolution which has disturbed Republican
eauanimity, and set both parties by the
ears, The preamble refers to the Mary
land resolutions, questioning the validity
of Mr.. Hayes title on account of the
frauds practiced in Florida and Louisiana
and duplicates by name E. F. Noyes,
Minister to France, and John Sherman,
Secretary of the Treasury, and the resolu-
tion calls for the appointment OF a COM
mittee of eleven, TO be appointed with au-
thority to send for persons and papers, and
to appoint sub-committees to visit Flor
ida and louisiana during the session of the
House. or in vacation, with the liberty OF
reporting at will.
In the exciting debate that followed. the
Republicans attempted to stave of the
resolution, claiming that it was not priv

however, with the Democrats. and an ap-
peal from his decision was laid on the
table. Butler and Fort, Republicans, vo-
ting with the Democrats and Buckner and

l;cans. The Republicans under the leader
shin of Mr., Hale are attempting to include
Alabama, Mississippi, Oregon and South

and call for an investigation in the Oregon

was counted for Hayes by Democratic
consent notwithstanding the good Dems-
cratic showing it had. AS the matter
now stands. things have come to dead
lock, the Republicans refusing to vote and
the Democrats not having quorum with
ont them. The House has adjourned Mon
day. Tuesday and Wednesday without
coming to a vote on the main question. A.
pood deal Of vituperatioa and many per-
sonalities are INDUCED in and no little bad
blood engendered and both sides ars ill!bns-
eering and caucrsipg with no definite re-
suit as yet. M
TfMr. Potters resolution finally passes,
the country may prepare itself for some
rare revelations in trickery and corruption
beyond anything yet shown up. But what
ever the result. we do not see that Mr..
Hayes has ANYTHING to fear. His seat is
as secure if not more so than was that Of
any of his predecessors, he knows this and
is az serene through it all as a May morn.

THE PRIMARY ELECTION
TI)-UAY

The primary election to-day is impor-
tant to every man in SJaunton, and makes
it important that he should cast his vote
with due reflection. 1t is equivalent to
the election ordered by law, for whoever
are nominated to-day, will constitute the
city government of Staunton for the next
two years. This being the case we cannot
urge too strongly upon all classes Of men in
the Conservative party to vote, and to Sc
lect the very best men to fill the offices vo-
ted for Every Conservative owes this to
the city, to his party and to himself. A
party composed Of the mass of the respect
able and tax-paying members of the COM
munity owes it to them, that the men it
furnishes to serve them Shall re represen-
tatiye men. In Richmond and Petersburg
at the primaries just ended, and where
there is to lie no general, organized Repub-
lican opposition, the Conservatives have
given the people admirable tickets, and we
in Staunton should not do less. The vote
to be cast will be large in proportion to
the registration, the result of active can
wasting for several of the positions, but
we trust the best feeling will prevail, and
as the result is decisive, we hope it will be
gracefully accepted by all.
The Republican opposition to the pri-
mary has been open and decided, which
should of itself lie sufficient enlightenment
to ally Conservative who ever had doubts
about the propriety OF vigilantly keeping
up the party organization, but it amounts
to nothing, and we trust no one has been
deceived by it, save their own party and
the two or three blat end pro essional
Conservative boilers. who puff with an in
ordinate amount of wind before every
election and get collapsed whenever they
attempt to run even ward meeting.
Their Influence extends some two inches
further than their belly band, and no furth-
er.
The wailing Of the Republicans over t e
primary deserves the most respect, for they
see certain death in it 10 their chances of
getting grip in the management OF the
politics of Staunton; they can't transfer
the black brigade to this candidate or that,
and decide the fight as they could in an
election without ticket. Their grief has
a good cause, but the anguish Of the others
is merely the having to undergo the prick
ing of wind bladder, and the letting out
of the conceit and personal ambition there
in. The operation, we are glad to tell them.
is brief, and they will speedily be of the
natural size, whereby they can get an ac-
curate measure of their E'infuence''-
result most heartily to be desired.
