ALEXANDRIA, VA.
MONDAY EVENING, JULY "a, 1892.

A FEW PROGRESSED democrats who would
rather have for Congressman large Mr..
Wise, an Arthurian Mahoneite, who wants
a steel snout and an India rubber back in
order the more ehectually to root out the
debt payers, than Mr.. Massey, readjuster-
democrat, who does not believe in the
immaculateness Of the accidental President.
aud who wants the debt question removed
from national politics, attempt to excuse
the efforts they are making to effect their
object by asserting that there being no
regularly nominated democratic candidate
they are free to vote for whom they
choose. They would be free to vote
for whom they choose if Massey were
the nominee of a State Convention of
his party, for there is free vote in Virginia,
the Malone statement to the contrary; but
that the party duty Of supporting him is just
as imperative as it would he if he had been
regularly nominated is what but few who
really want to defeat Mahoneism will deny.
The State democratic committee when they
decided to make no nomination certainly
did not do so for the purpose Of dividing
the solidity and destroying the unity OF
their party, i'll fact of disorganizng il and
allowing its members to dissipate its
strength by scattering their votes On the
contrary they had directly opposite object
in view. They desire TO conciliate their
party and in addition to attract the support
of those who had left it on the debt ques-
ton and, extending the scope Of their ear
nest desire still further, they even hoped to
derive some assistance from those consci
entious republicans who are not what Mr.
Wise says they are, and who will not per.
nit themselves to be sold like so many cat
tie. They therefore refused to nominate a
mere party candidate, because they natur,
ally supposed such nominee might repcl
readjuster and republican support; but the
idea never entered their heads that their
refusal to nominate ts- you'd be made an ex-
cuse by men protesting to be a!GGi;ai6crats for
not voting for Mr.. Massey. They and all
other men who are democrats from principle
and all who want to rescue the State from
the Malone wing Of the republican party
think that every democrat in Virginia is rs
much bound to support Mr.. Massey as if he
were the regular nominee of the democratic
party.

JUST BEFORE the wheat harvest it was
said that the army worm and other causes
had seriously injured the wheat crop. The
fact is there has never been So large wheat
crop in Virginia since the war. 1t has late
ly been said that the corn crop was in great
danger. TO the contrary, intelligence from
all quarters of the State is to the effect that
the corn rarely ever looked better than it
does now. This has been an exceptionally
propitious season in Virginia for all sorts OF
farm, orchard and garden products, and
prices being good, the producers are pros
porous and happy.

American Dynamite Projects.

LONDON, July 24.-The Times in an editorial
article says: The license that American criminal
law allows to dynamite projects is scandal and a
shame to American legislation. A more enormous
scandal is the attitude which public opinion in
America assumes towards them. Never was there
body of national opinion SO inquisitive and keen
which could have shown itself more feeble and
inert in defence of public morality than the opin-
ion in America since the dynamite school became
notorious. Americans must determine if they
will continue to be subject to this reproach

IN 1880 President Arthur said !:

There is danger in intrusting the control
OF the whole law-making power of the Gov
eminent to Il party which has in almost ey-
cry Southern State repudiated obligations

What is a Home.
Christian Weekly.

A home is place where charac-
ter is formed, where education goes
on, and where people are impressed
for time and eternity. 1t is a place
to be happyin and to start out from
for all good, honest and earnest liv-
ing. Very great is her response
bflity who is queen of this kingdom.
To a very important extent, she
makes or mars It's completeness. A
fretful, fault-tinding, narrow, inca
pable woman, in the position of a
wife or mother, can cloud home
with misery while she keeps house
well, and scrubs floors until they are
rs white as snow. But the record
ing angel, surveying her perform
ances, will surely say, "This ought
you to have done and not left the
other undone." In a home there
should be liberty without license,
time for family intercourse and
peace for personal solicitude, room
for the entertainment of guests and
the maintenance of social life; and
over all tender, trustful, daily
atmosphere of true devotion, and
communion with God. All this is
not wholly but largely in the hands
of her who is the central thought
and the well spring of pleasure in
every comfortable Christian home,
the dear honroed and gracious
mother. Let nobody who is a
house-keeper fear to magnify her
office. 1t is a very sacred enc, and
if she performs its duties faithfully
she is worthy of no stinted praise.

Seekers after Health.

Unfortunates who are seeking to
renew their health, are many. So
often have they been deceived by
the advertisements of worthless
compounds, that many are discOur-
aged, and refuse to believe anything
they read in the papers. Therefore,
the best advertisement of really
good medicine is the reputation it
has gained in places where 1t is be-
ing sold. No other remedy ever
discovered has grown so rapidly in
public favor as that true medicinal
tonic called Browns Iron BitterS.
In localities where its extraordinary
merits have become fully known
and realized by those who have
been in ill-health, the sale is unpre-
cedented. One druggist in our city
reports the sale of 23S bottles in one
week. 1t is, indeed, wonderful,
health giving, life-saving prepare
ration. 1t is soothing and refresh
ing in its effect, and strengthens ev-
cry part of the body, and creates
healthy appetite and digestion, even
when the system is almost destroy
ed by the many hurtful cathartics
commonly used. Reader, beware!
duty demands that you try Browns
Iron Bitters, if your health is poor
from any Enquirer.

The DIR. Harter Medicine Co., of
st. Louis, Mo-, is one of the most
honorable and substantial establish
ments in the country. DR.. Harter's
Iron Tonic is one of the standard
and most highly esteemed prepare
tions of the day, and justly enjoys a
wide and increasing sale. This is
brought about by the high merit of
the goods and the judiciouS and ex-
tensive manner in which they are
advertised throughout the country.

written in their praise, but with

selves, simple facts serve a better

A Romance

Shortly after the war battalion
of the Second dragons was ordered
to Fort Laramie, and there Lieu
tenant Brockhurst Livingston, OF
the well known New York family,
saw and loved the favorite daughter
of the old Sioux chief, Spotted Tail,
and found his passion reciprocated.
The young officer took her TO his
house, and she bore him son, but
Livingston's health failed and he
was orded to Europe, where he
died. The Sioux girl died of a
broken heart in 1868, after learning
of his death, and was carried to
Fort Laramie by her father and
buried. Her grave is still annually
decorated with flowers by the SOL
diers. The mother of the young
officer has sought to find and edu-
cate his son, but the Sioux either
because they have lost sight of him
or because they wish to keep him,
give no trace of his whereabOut

in making up his forms the fore
man of Montreal paper mixed up
an article on Roman Catholic mis-
sions in Africa with recipe on
making tomato catsup. AS pub
lished the article reads: "The Ro-
man Catholics claim to be making
material advances in Africa. Dur
ing the past years they have OBJ
tanned firm footing in the interior
of the continent and have sent sew
eral missionaries into the equator
regions. They are accustomed to
begin their work by buying heather
children and educating them. This,
easiest and best way to prepare them
is to first wipe them with Il clean
towel; then place them in dril ping
pans and bake them till they are
tender. Then you will have no

Peterson's Magazine for February
is already before us, more brilliant
than ever. Nothing could excel
the principal steel plate, FAST
Caught" or the sparkling story it
illustrates. The colored pattern, in
Kensington stitch, "Design For
Pansies," is one of those costly
things found only in "Peterson."
the literary matter is even better
than usual. Both the novelets, that
by Mrs. Stephens, and that by Mrs.
Austin, increase in power as they
go on. TIE other stories are all SUI
perior, those by Frank Lee Benedict
and Mrs. Demeritt especially so.
The illustrations for fashions, for
workable patterns, etc, etc., num-
Der nearly fifty, and are alone worth
the price of the number. 1t is a
standing wonder to us how so fine
magazine can be published at so low
n price: the puzzle is only to be ex-
planned by the immense circulation
Peterson" has attained; the ladies
have learned that they cannot afford
to be without it. If you have not
subscribed for it already, lose no
time, but subscribe at once. Or,
better still, get up a club, and earn
a copy free. The price is but two
dollars a year, with great deduc-
lions to clubs. Specimens are sent,
gratis, if written for, to those wish
ing to get up clubs. Address Chas.

Adulserated Sugar.

The following simple test to dis
cover when sugar has been adulter-
ated with glucose was, in recent
interview, given to a reporter OF
the Chicago Tribune by a Chicago
grocer. There is no reason why
anybody could not detect the fraud
at once:
"Take a handful OF the mixture
and drop it into glass of cold wa
ter; stir it few minutes and you
will notice that the cane sugar is
entirely dissolved, leaving the grape
sugar undissolved at the bottom of
the glass in the form of a white,
sticky substance not at all unlike
starch in looks, and quite bitter to
the taste. 1t wont do TO use not
water in your test, however, for the
whole thing will dissolve. The test
is so simple that any house-keeper
can make it, and there is no reason
for anybody being deceived after
discovering the fraud, unless he or
she chooses to be-"

/ am sorry for the little chaps of
this generation, for they are stuffed
and crammed with every good thing
before they get old enough to enjoy
it, and their very cradles are filed
with marbles, and tops, and pocket
knives, and balls, until they are
surfeited and get tired of everything
and go about unhappy and wishing
for something else. Children amt
children now.
The boys don't play hull-pen, nor
town-ball, nor cat, nor chinkapins,
and string 'em and put 'em around
their sWeethearts neck and steal a
kiss for pay. / remember we'll
remember will always remember
the first sweet kiss | got from mine.
Ginger-cakes were mighty good in
their way, but they never thrilled
me, nor walked up the eIysian joys
that slumbered in my astonished
bosom. Wonder If the like of that
is to come back to a man in heaven ?
hope so, for love is heaven, and
that kind of love was innocent and
pure.
honestly believe the boys of the
olden times loved the girls a heap
better than the boys do now, and
versa-visa. There wasn't so many
things to distract their attention and
scatter it around promiscuous.
Why, when one of them old-time
boys loved girl, he loved her as
hard as mule could kick. Loved
her all over, he just felt exactly like
he could wade through bloody seas
to get her.
But now there is so many fine
clothes, so much jewelry to distract
young girls attention, that she
thinks more Of fashion and clothes
than she does of the boy, and then
there are so many balls and round
dances and so many promiscuous
arms swinging around her that she
likes one fellow as well as another,
and the trouble is after she gets
married she keeps on loving them.
If was a young man now, / don't
think | would mate with that sort
of II girl, money or no money; that
is, if there was any other sort with
in marrying distance; and if [ was
a girl / would say hands off, young

us better acquainted. These are
Old-fashioned ideas, / know, but
