A Last Appeal.

The time for action is right upon
us, and the day for speech has almost
past. All that has been said, thought
and written during this canvass will
have been in vain unless on Tuesday
next the people come out and put their
ballots in the box. If you are not
willing to take the trouble to do this,
then you do not love your country re-
ally, or you do not in fact appreciate
all the horrors of Malone dominion.
John S. Wise, in his speech at Berry
vile, boosted that it was as much as
ever the purpose of his party to con-
summate all the wicked schemes of
Legislation which they were prevented
from perfecting by the interposition
of John E. Massey and his Big Four.
If they prevail in this election they
will be emboldened to fight for the
next legislature, while we will be
equally discouraged from joining bat
tie with them. If they carry the next
legislature woe be to all who do not
bow the knee to Malone. We stand
now behind the breastworks of liberty
and free government. If for lack Of
pluck, zeal and vigilance we let the
enemy enter here, then, if we have the
courage hereafter to fight at all, we
will battle against. tremendous odds
Now is the time; this is the opportu-
nifty; and if all who belong to the one
faith of opposition to Mahoneism will
come together and do valiant deeds on
this coming day, then these people
bound together without principle and
fighting only for the spoils, will be
scattered as are the dried leaves Of
the autumn wind.

Taxpayers.

One of the worst fallacies ever in
vented by the fertile mind of man, is
the doctrine that the rich men, own
ing the most property and paying the
most taxes, should have the most to
say in regard to our affairs Of govern
ment. This doctrine, which has been
preached to the poor of all countries,
until it has almost become an axiom,
is false to the very foundation. The
poor hod-carrier, who owns not foot
of ground, has just as much at stake
in this country of ours, and should be
given quite as free voice as Van
derbilt. A poor man has his all at
stake in the welfare of the nation
His own life, his happiness and that
of his family are at stake. Gould any
man have more?
The idea that the poor man pays
less taxes than his richer brother, is
false to the core. There is no man,
unless he be pauper, who does not
pay his full share of the public taxes.
The poor mans capital is his labor,
which is the keystone of the prosperity
of any country, and of which capital
is but the representative. If a man
is too poor to own house of his own,
he pays taxes for another mans mo-
ney when he pays rent for the tene-
ment in which he lives. The poor
man pays taxes in every article of food
which he buys, in every piece of wear
ing apparel which his wife or children
put on; in every pipe of tobacco he
smokes, and in every school book thai
his children carry to school with them
Then let no poor man rest for mo-
ment under the impression that he
does not do his full share towards the
support of our government and the
maintenance of our national institu.
tions. There is not a working mar
living to-day but what pays more than
his share. Instead of being taxed toe
little our laboring classes are taxed
too much True, the rights of labor
ing men are better protected In this
country than in any other; but they
are not half as well protected as they
ought to be. The poor men pay the
most taxes then let them have the
most to say in public affairs. The
rights of the capitalists are always
securely guarded; let those of the
laboring men be just as safely pro
tected.

All Along the Line.

The news comes bright and glorious
from all sections of the State. The
sound of triumph is in the air, and
the shouts of victory come almost in
advance. From the Southwest, from
the Norfolk district, from the tide
water country and the upper Valley,
the word is passed along that the peo-
pie know their duty and intend to do
it. From Clarke and Warren, our sis
tiers in this Senatorial district, we are
assured of large increase on Daniels
majority. Winchester will take moth
ing from the county majority. The
other precincts of Frederick are alive
and active, and promise to send in re-
turns that will astound the calculators.
The eyes OF the people are upon us
here at home, and the hopes of our fell
low-citizens largely center upon our
efforts. One hundred and fifty ma
jority is too little for us to give; can t
we make it two hundred? If we do,
We may win the banner and be the
Drag precinct. Ye men of Newtown
and vicinity, let us not disappoint these
proud expectations, but let us record
it SO that it will never be forgotten
that no men of all the Anglo-Saxon
race more than we hate tyranny, OPP
preston, deceit and corruption.

The Peoples Day.

Not with the blare of trumpets,
Not with the beat of drums,
Not with the glare of banners,
The day of the people comes.
1t comes with the thrilling music
Of hearts that throb in tune,
To the rhythm of busy purpose,
And the voice of a priceless boon.
1t comes with power the grandest
The world has ever known,
With might that has vanquished error
And conquered many throne.
1t comes for the toiling lowly,
1t comes for the wealthy throng,
Who manfully, bravely battle
For the right against the wrong.
Its dawning may be in darkness,
But if it be used Alright,
1t shall close in flood of glory
And new and awakening light
A light that justice shall kindle,
A glory that right shall shed
Der the well-won field of battle,
Where injustice lies crushed and dead.
Not with the clashing sabre,
Not with the lannon's roar,
Its victory comes to ennoble
The nation from shore to shore.
Its triumphs are won In silence
As solemn as aught can be;
Its weapons are ballots not bullets,
Its armies are brave men free
Hank you can hear it coming!
Prepare we all for the fray!
Stand firm in the ranks of duty,
And welcome the Peoples Day.

The Fatal Shot.
Fromthe Winchester Times.1


The cause of the following poetry,
as nearly as we can ascertain, is as
follows: Willie Mcleod Abell,* who
was acting Adjutant for his regiment,
had gone forward to reconnoiter in
advance of the skirmish line, discov-
cred that squadron was in position
where it was about to be cut off, of
which it was unconscious. He started
Immediately to inform the Colonel,
that it might be withdrawn, and just
at that moment he received the fatal
shot through his body, but in this con-
dition he galloped on, gave the warn
ing, saved the squadron, and then laid
down to die. Hence the following:
The ball has pierced his vitals,
But still he grasped the rein,
The squadron is in danger,
And takes no note of time.
He bore up in his saddle,
Warm blood his body laved,
But he spurs his faithful charger,
The squadron must be saved.
He gallops through the carnage,
No warning or no pause;
And he pours his very life-blood
In freedoms holy cause.
His life is swiftly ebbing,
His strength is waning fast,
But courage and his message
Sustain him to the last
The body may surrender,
The mortal coil may fail,
But his dauntless, untamed spirit
Has never learned to quail.
His voice is raised, he utters
One eager, piercing cry,
ooh! Colonel, save the squadron"
Then lays him down to die.
Time -honored Old Dominionl
What heroes hast thou borne?
Thy mothers eye is weeping,
Thy lonely bosom torn.
But still the grand Sic Semper"
Defiantly shall wave
Thy sons will bear it proudly
To freedom on the grave.

FRENCH SOLDIERS

Most people who see that 296, 900
young men are brought forward annually
for military service in France attach an
exaggerated significance to this large
number. AS matter of fact, not one
third Of them go just now into the ranks
for FIVE years service. Out Of every
100 of these youths, seventeen serve
only for a year or for six months,
twenty-four are exempted for family or
educational reasons, five or six are set
aside for auxiliary service because of
minor bodily defects, nine extra-small
and weakly-make are put back for two
years, and twelve are declared totally
unfit for service. Thus we have the
significant fact that the large proportion
of 81 per cent. of the young men of
France are, at the age of 20, more or less
physically untitled for military service.
The standard of education may be-
judged from the fact that one in every
seven recruits can neither read nor
write. Ten years ago the proportion of
the illiterate was about one in five, and
fifty years ago it was 80 per cent. As
to height-or rather the want of it sc
per cent. of the recruits are between five
feet and half an inch (the minimum army
height and five feet four inches; and
the general average is less than five feet
five inches.

Il want a warrant for the arrest of Minnie
Haines. She is living with the Pearsons

manner, which will involve the Pearson
people in difficulty, if she is not sent to

Pearson is colored man who is married

unreasonable prejudice, but it exists, and
the misconduct of Minnie Haines is cal

strong moral grounds why Minnie
Haines should go to an asylum or hospit-
