AS will be seen. there will be in the

There is a judgment against the city
for overdue bonds and interest amount
ing to over $1,100, which ! think it
would be we'll to pay from the above

like to say, right here, that / believe il
is the poorest kind of policy for the city
to leave her mature Indebtedness unpro-
vided for until judgment is rendered
against her in the courts. 1t is not in
accordance with economy, honesty, good
policy nor sound sense.
We have now the following bonds

And earnestly renew my recommen-
dation of year ago that this shall be
one of the first things 10 engage your at
teption. ] believe have stated to the
council before that have been reliably
informed that the city could refund her
bonded debt at 5 per cent, or at most 81
per cent, at par, if she would pay all her
past Indebtedness. 1t needs no great
mathematical talent to see that this
would be cheaper for US in q very few
years, than any Reputation upon which
we can enter. / hope 10 see some ac-
ton taken by the public spirited men of
Emporia by which the So, 500 of illegal
bonds may be purchased and cancelled
and cease to be reprOach TO the good
Eame of our city.
1t will be seen from what / have al

need of great vigilance and economy
in the conduct of all the affairs of the
city for the coming year, and Of q wise

oUtrsScS Upon Russian jews.

| From the Hebrew Leader
The cable dispatches from Europe
during the past week have continued to
give accounts Of outrages upon the Jew
ish residents of Russia, after much the
same fashion as before. Attempts have
been made in one or two instances to
! lay the blame npon the Jews thcm-
selves, alleging that they had begun
the battle; but this is very like the
wolf and the l%mb-the Jewish lamb
| in this case is not very like t0 do any
thing to rouse the ferocity Of The Rus
sian wolf. 1t is just as il has been from
the Oegisning--it has been 4 bitter, un--
justitiabe persecution, marked by afro
city, and kept up in spite Of protest on
| the part Of the entire civji;Iad world.
In 4 temrerately-toned letter in the
New York World, Mr.. j. l.. Jennings
says it is remarkable fact that the war
determination which has been declared
against the Jews has received no dis
couragement whatever from the official
class in any part Of Russia.
The civic authorities (as at Odessa
have repeatedly been warned days be
fore hand that q massacre was being
planned, but they have never taken ary
steps to prevent If, and when the out
break has actually occurred the military
have looked on unconcernedlv or only
interfered when the Jews were stronger
than their assailants and seemed likely
to gain the day. This has been the
general course of events wherever the
persecution has spread. According to
the best authenticated narrative the
massacres have begun in town or vii
lage by the announcement (2Ot always
to be traced 10 a definite source) that
the Car has issued a l.2se for the de
struction or expulsion OF 2ll members of
Hebrew race. The peasant il some cases
were reluctant to attack the Jews who
had done them no harm, hut they were
afraid ia uisebey the supposed trlers of
the Gar This Indicates quite impress
sIvely the falSeh0od Of the claim that
the Russian Government has discour-
aged and endeavored to repress the
popular outbreak against the Jews.
Mr.. Jenning declares that the details Of
the massacres and outrag"s prepetrated
in Odessa and other Russian towns are
50 unspeakably horrible that it might
be hoped their description was exagger-
ated, but that verified facts show that
the half Of these abOminable afro tiles
have not yet been told.

The illustrated Californian"

The April number OF this magazine,
which has just come to hand, opens
with a beautifully illustrated article,
entitled Yachting in San Francisco
Bay" from the pen Of Mr.. Chas. G.
Yale, than whom, upon this subject, no
one is better qualified to write. This
article is from the popular, non-techni-
cal standpoint and will interest hun
dreds besides those who live near the
Bay, and have an opp Ortunity to in
dulge in the fascinating pastime Of
yachting. The engravings, (Which, by
the way, are the first among those
which have appeared in The Cayyor1ioa
that were entirely prepared in San
Francisco are spirited and full Of
promise for the successful development
of pictorial wood engravinss upon the
Pacific Coast. One shows several
yachts rounding the ffteen-fathom

Of life and motion, while down in one
corner of the engraving is a pen-and-ink

DEMOCRATIC READJUsTERs.-Dem-
ocratic Readjusters should have no hes
itancy in supporting John E. Massey,
who will vote, if elected, with the Dem.
ocratic party in Congress, in preference
to John S. Wise, who is an official ap-
pointee of Arthur's administration, and,
if elected, will certainly vote with the
Republican party in Congress.
No Democrat, whether he be a read
ulster or not, should, under the circum-
stances, hesitate moment about giving
his support to the election of Massey.
He is not voting for Massey. but for
the principles and measures he repre-
sents, and he should follow the example
of Gen. Washington, who. when he cast
his last vote, remarked that he did not
vote for men, but for the measures and
principles they represented. All who
are opposed to Stalwart Republicanism
and personal "Bossism," should give
Massey a cordial support. No Demo-
crat should allow his personal preju.
dices against Massey to prevent him
from voting for him; for he votes for
the cause, and not for Massey. That is
the only way he can make his vote
count for his party.

DEMoCRA rs SHOULD SUPPORT MAS
Alexandria Gazette says that
"Mr. Massey comes out squarely for a
low tariff and for the abolition of the
whole internal revenue system, and
thus legitimately entities himself to the
support of all who favor those benefi-
cent measures. The internal revenue
system is war expendient, and should
have been abolished as soon as the war
was over. It's continuance is unjust and
irritating, and is contrary to republican
form of government. A protective tariff,
by taxing the great body of the people
for the benefit of a few manufacturers,
is not only oppressively onerous, but is
tyrannical, and should have no place
among free institutions"

TON SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISERS

FATAL ACCIDENTAL colored wagon
driver, named Samuel Howard, said to
be in the employ of Messrs. Elliott &
Jones, met with fatal accident at 2
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, that caused
his death in three.quarters Of an hour.
He was engaged hauling granite curb
ing stones from the Richmond and AL.
leghany railroad for the laying of the
pavement on Main street, In Lynch
burg, and while passing in front of s. c.
Hurt & Sons mill, the horses took
fright at passing train on the Virginia
Midland trestle, and ran off, the hubs of
the wheels dragging the side of the
building. At the corner of the mill
there is an offset with a projection
above, and it is supposed that when the
horses turned short around the corner,
that this projection knocked him from
his seat. The wagon, containing two OF
the heavy stones, ran over his breast
and arm, crushing the former with it's
great weight and breaking the latter. g.
He was conveyed to q house near by,
and DR.. Walker called. but he died, as
before stated, in short time, In An am
bulance called to take him home.

The Leesburg Wdshingtonidn says:-
''Should we join with Mr.. Massey in
this effort to unite the party again upon
issues of national politics and princi-
pies which have distinguished the par
ties from each other, or be guilty of the
suicidal folly of rejecting this offer of
Cancellation and union, by making a
separate nomination, and blaze the way
for the triumph of Mahoneism and the
complete subJugation of this State to
the Stalwart Republican wing of that
party? It is Massey and union of our
party, or VIE and the triumph of
Bossism, and the tyranny of the most
relentless partisan faction that ever
aimed to rule State. This is the issue.
1t has nothing to do with the debt ques-
ton. That is out of the canvass, and
Mahoneism now is simply an effort to
establish one-man rule, by virtue of
the offices he can dispense to hold his
Democratic followers. and to manage
the Republicans by order of the Ad-
ministration, in consideration of the
Democrats he can bring to their sup
port, thus hoping by that coalition to
carry the State this fall, and then hold
it for the Republican party two years
hence at the Presidential election.
Should Democrats be guilty of the mis-
take of aiding him in this scheme by
any little prejudices they may have
against Mr. Massey because he did not
agree with us upon an issue which we
all declared should never have been a
party question? We do not believe

not escaped the drag-net of the Repub-

an aggregate of 1888. of which the female

pital nurse $12 so. This looks like very

WAR in EGYPT.

The anticipated war in Egypt conn
menced on last Tuesday morning at :
O'Clock, when the English fleet attacked
the forts outside the port of Alexandris,
which were soon silenced. The Egyp-
tians raised a flag Of truce, when hostil'
titles were suspended. The negotiations
under the flag of truce were without
any practical effect. On Wednesday,
hostilities were suspended, during which
time the Egyptians awaited themselves
of the opportunity to Withdraw from the
city of Alexandria. and on Thursday
the British forces landed and took pos
session of the city. In the meantime
the European portion of the city was de-
stroyed by fire. The prisoners were re-
leased, and pillage was practiced, and the
Europeans in the city were massacred !;
to what number is not known at this
time. The scene was fearful and dread
full. 1t is impossible at this time to pre-
dict what will be the ultimate result
It may lead to general European war.
When war is commenced tits impossible
to predict the ultimate result. Itmay be
short and decisive, and it may result in
Involving the chief powers of Europe.
It may involve contest between the
cross and the crescent-the Christians
and the Mohammedans-in which event
| it will be bloody and probably long
struggle; for the Mohammedans, in the
fanatical defense of their religion, will
fight desperately. If the contest should
assume this phase, all the Christian
powers of Europe may be united against
| them, and the earth will tremble be.
