The leading feature in trade circles
is decline in meats at points of sup

The Pope Addresses a Circular
10 Irish Bishops, DenOuncing
the Parnell Fund.

ROME, May Is The Pope in a
circular to Irish Bishops, says what.
ever Parnell's object may be, his
followers have often adopted a course
openly against the rules Of the Pope e
letter to Cardinal McCabe, and the in.
struotions sent to BishopR which were
accepted at their recent meeting at
Dublin. While it is lawful for the
Irish to seek redress for their griev
ancGs and strive TOR their rights, they
should at the same tiue seek God s
justice, and remember the wicked.
ness OF illegal means in furthering
even just cause. 1t is the duty of the
clergy to curb the feelings of the
people and urge justice and modera-
ton. The clergy are not permitted
to depart from these rules and join and
promote movements inconsistent with
them. Collections to relieve distress
are permitted, but subscriptions to in
flame popular passions are condemned.
The clergy must hold aloof when il is
plain that by such movements hatred
and dissension are aroused or distin.
guished persons insulted, aud when
crimes and murder go uncensured
and when patriotism is measured by
the amount subscribed for, the people
are thereby inundated, Therefore
the Parnell fund ia disapproved, and
no clergyman should recommend sub
scriptions thereto or promote it.
1t is stated that Archbishop Oroke,
on his return to Ireland, will visit
Cardinal McCabe, and the latter will
come here to confer with the Pope as
soon as his health will permit him to
undertake the journey.

of course, but it is not expected that
any of the Inspectors will oppose the
adoption Of a form embodying the best
features of all. DireCtness and sim.
plicity Of wording will be aimed at, so
that there shall be no chance for mis-.
understanding or confusion. and it is
expected that crews, after being
drilled few times, will be prepared

FOR THE LEGIS-
LATHE

The Democratic party Of Augusta has
resolved, through Its County Committee
to hold primary for the selection of two
candidates on Saturday, September 9Th.
It is hardly necessary for this journal to
congratulate the county Democrats on
being, for once at least, absolutely free
from all trammel in making their choice;
seeing that we have been in season and
we fear, sometimes out. of season,
urging the mode which gives them this
freedom. But now that they have it we
would entreat them to use it wisely. You
all know that the Democracy of Virginia
has entered upon new path, under new
leader, and for, we all confidently hope, a
new and different result. That result iu
the State. can, in large measure. be at
fected by the action of the Augusta Dem
ocrats. If we should insist on revivIng,b,
our nominations. questions settled AIT
past-almost into oblivion, We sh ali show
neither wisdom nor prudence. We net'
men who are fully in accord with the pro-
gress of the Democracy. We need men,
the very nomination of whom will give
assurance to the large class Of undecided
voters in the State, that the Democracy
has forever left the old issues; that it is
thoroughly in earnest; that its members
are in accord that 1t does not say one
thing at Lynchburg and another thing on
getting home to Augusta.
1t will be your good fortune to have a
large number of candidates to select from.
Be wise in your selection, and in your wis
dom let the thought that the party at
large in the State is interested in that Sc
lection, have weight with you.
Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1883-08-17
POSTPONE 1T.

With full knowledge of the feeling In
Do litical parties Oh the subject We advise
the true friends OF Tt importance to dlscon-
tinue the present tffo!t to inject the ques-
ton of local option into the election this
fall. 1t Will have the effect OF rendering
l.cal option no service aid the worse ef-
# ct of depriving the cause of Temperance
Ut many sincere and useful friends. On
the part of tie Democ acy of Virginia it
is mighty struggle for the right of self
government in every town and county OF
the State. If they do not succeed they are
well-aware that the next legislature will
pass laws that will reduce the people to
state of POLITICAL seryltuds, 1t is no time
to imperil your friends by introducing an
issue which can in no event succeed. We
say in no event for it is well known by
this time that neither Coalition candidate
will favor local option and it may be said
with certainty that no man pledged to local
option will ever be nominated at the Dem
ucratic primary. For the sake Of your
true frisLds let this thing drop while this
vital contest Is going on.
Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1883-08-17

But all that will wear off. The whites
and blacks OF Virginia are obliged to live
In the same state; let them patrio tically
avoid all causes Of irritation and dissen-
sion. The separate school plan removes
the last source of irritation and it is some-
thing that one party or the other will give
the colored people. If the Coalitionists
refuse to give it; then the Democracy will
give it. AS to Its popularity at the polls,
it will get thousands Of votes from the
colored people next November, but if it
did not get twenty such votes in the State
we should as heartily advocate it, believ-
ing it to b. in the interest of the peace
and prosperity of both races in Virginia.

THE COALITION CANDIDATES

THE COALITION CANDIDATES.
The Coalitionists Of Augusta on Satur-
day nominated Capt. Edward A. Fulcher
and John E l. Hamilton. Esq, for their
candidates in next November's defeat
Both are gentlemen whose good qualities
have made them popular with their own
party and many friends in ours. Both
have just had touch of campaigning,
Mr.. Hamilton haying been defeated in the
county for Treasurer and Capt. Fulcher
having been elected by small majority as
Supervisor of Beverley Manor district
The two men make the best working team
in the Coalition party and will bring out
its full strength in November. While
there is hardly possibility of their cleo
ton, yet there is a probability, If the Dem
ssrats of Augusta are not active, Of re-
ducing our majority in Augusta SO as to
put US far from the proud position Of the
banner county. Remainder that We must
not underrate the enemy, especially when
the enemy is composed of two such active
workers az Fulcher and Hamilton.
