WILLIAM MAHoNE. ,

We might under certain circumstances,
forgive General Malone for all his past
acts of treason to the Democratic party,
but when he recommends as proper litera-
ture for our people paper that speaks OF
our dead, as follows, he forfeits the respect
Of Southern soldiers and their defendants.
The National Republican say
"To venerate the memory of Albert Sidney
Johnston is to prolong his treason and
criminate along with him all who do it,
and who are none the less disloyal to their
country, because, unlike him, they are in
no danger Of paying for their disloyalty
with their lives" This is the spirit that
brands Albert Sidney Johnston, Robert E.
Lee, and Stonewall Jackson, now i'll their
graves, as traitors and enemies Of their
country.
When General Malone recommended
this paper to the Southern people he en-
dorsed its teachings, and is partly response
BILE for the results.
Those who fought with and under these
noble dead will not forget this outrage

THE F1Rsr SETTLEMENT IN V1Re1N1A

1HE FIRST SETTLEMENT IN VIRGINIA.
Changes in the James river have made
an island of jamestown, completely sepa-
rating it from the mainland, and about all
that remains of the first English settlement
of Virginia is the dismantled tower of the
old church. 1t was here that Pocahontas
embraced the Christian faith, and was bap-
tized by the name of Rebecca. The font
used on that occasion now stands in the
chancel of Christ's church, Williamsburg.
Here also Pocahontas was married in 1913
to John Rolf. A low brick wall incloses
the ground occupied by the ruined tower
and foundation of the church and tomb
stones, some broken .and scattered, some
leaning against the wall, and all with in
scriptious nearly if not quite illegible, have
long since ceased to indicate where lies the
dust of those who bore their names. Two
hundred yards below the ruins and one
hundred from the river bank is the stately
old mansion built by John Amber over
hundred years ago. 1t is the only residence
on the island, is in fine preservation, and
occupied by Colonel H. D. 3. Clay, form
erly of New York, who owns jamestown,
which consists of 1,700 acres, and is be-
tween two and three miles in length and
three quarters of mile in width.

THE TAEIFF.-The Democratic party of
Virginia declares in its platform that the
Tariff shall cease to be so adjusted as to
''create and foster monopolies."
In that they strike the keynote that has
given direction to the whole question
That the Republican administration has
been using it for that purpose, the NAM
moth fortunes-fortunes that are the won
der of the world-that have sprung up un-
der its fostering care, demonstrate beyond
a doubt. These fortunes have been built
up, in the main, by the daily contributions
of the masses of the people-contri buttons
that are wruug from them by the operation
of the Tariff.
The Democratic party demands that that
use of the Tariff shall cease, and cease for
ever, and that in place of it the revenues
from the tariff shall be limited to the nee
essties of tho Government economically
administered, and so adjusted as to sub
serve the interests of the people. In carry
ing out this great object, it is no part of
its purpose to make the duty On all articles
Of importation uniform, nor to cripple any
rising industries in the State, by causing
them in their infancy to compete with sim
liar foreign industries. under disadvantage
Gus circumstances. On the contrary it is
its purpose to encourage those rising in
dustries where the advantages that will
flow from them to the few are not more
than counterbalanced'b by loss to the many.
The Democratic party demands. a revision
of the Tariff in the enlightened interest of
the people.
The Republican Administration has fos-
tered monopolies, and monopolies have in
turn run the party aud held it in power by
liberal contributions from their ill-gotton
gains The power of this accumulated
capital is so great that already the people
seem to be staggered by it. We, therefore,
rejoice to see the Ohio platform, that was
followed by the Democratic party of Vir-
ginia, adopted in Pennsylvania and extend
ing throughout the Democratic ranks of
the Union-an omen of good to, the people.

The hearth at home is beaming
With rays of rosy light,
And lovely eyes are cleaning,
AS fall the shades of night;
Ard while thy steps are leaving
The circle pure and bright,
A tender voice half grieving
Says Don't stay late tonight"
The world in which thou moyest
Is busy, brave, and wide;
The world of her thou lowest
Is at the ingle side.
She waits for the warm greeting,
Thy smile is her delight;
Her gentle voice entreating
Says. Don't stay late tonight"
The world, so cold, inhuman;

The love of one true woman
Outlasts and shames them all.

Let fate be dark or bright.
