HARRIsBURGH, VA, July 1sth.-A
most damaging flood prevailed at this
place last night. About eight O'Clock
two angry clouds met just north OF
here ,and rain poured down in torrents.
Blacks run, small rivulet running
through the town. became mighty
river, spreading over some of the prin-
cipal streets. Shocks of wheat from
the neighboring fields, hogs, chickens,
fences, small houses and an endless
drift, came pouring through the main
thoroughfares. Many private houses
are flooded and greatly damaged. 1t
is impossible to estimate the damage.
Pavements, sidewalks and footbridges
were swept away, and the streets are
much damaged. The whole population
were out on the streets till past mid
night.

4 Republican WpIniem of the Re.
publican Tariff.

The Buffalo Express, an influential
Republican paper in western New
York, charges that the Republican
tariff. tinkering is sham and dslu-
sion, and its Indictment of its own
party is vigorous and maHly-saying
no more and no less than all true, sa-
gacious men are saying, whether DEM
ocrats or Republicans. The following
exhibits the spirit Of the criticism of
the Express
The changes made are SO slight, and
SO i'll placed, that they give the people
no relief at all. If there is any reduc.
ton in price in consequence of reduced
duties it is all absorbed by jobbers and
middlemen long before it reaches the
| consumer. The other great object Of
| tariff reduction-that of reducing the
enormous needless revenue, 80 "a to
| remove constant temptation to the
cupidity of Congressmen-also COM
pletely fails of accomplishment. The
new tariff will have no appreciable ef-
| feet upon importations or revenue.
Such is the unanimous testimony of
importers and manufacturers in every
branch Of trade when questioned by
reporters. In short, the tariff revision
of the Forty-Seventh Congress was a
sham and 8 delusion. The work should
be done next time by somebody who
means to do it-not to deceive the
country with 3 pretense Of doing it"

THE Republican managers are deep
ly interested in the establishment of
saloons and drinking places at every
street corner and cross roads through
out the State, all because they so love
the dear people. e You see, the more
saloons the more taxes the liquor sell
ers have to pay and the less for the
people. And who don't know that
relieving the people of the burdens of
taxation is stronghold with the
monopoly party :? "

IT would keep young Mr.. Thurman
pretty busy, we should say, to justify
his refusal to vote for Hoadly; but in
his proposed support of Foraker. his
conduct is utterly indefensible. There
are better and more sensible ways of
showing ones displeasure at the action
of his party, than by MASKING ones
own nose, and otherwise disfiguring
his own person. He is a weak and un-
worthy man who sacrifices principle
upon the altar of personal disappoint-
ment or displeasure. For such a sac
rifice there is no possible justification.

THE Republicans created the trade

THE Republicans created the trade
dollar and made the coin legal ten
der in payment of debts to the amount
of SIS, and after having $3.50, $50 of
them in circulation it was Republi-
can Congress that demonetized this
coin in the interest of brokers and
spectators, by reason of which the
innocent holders have been defrauded
of fifteen cents on every dollar of it
they had in their possession, involving
loss to them of over S., 900, 600, all for
placing their trust In party that only
regards it important to keep faith with
bankers, bondholders and. the privi-
legged classes.

THE Republican politicians are con-
tinuing to cackle at a furious rate at
the Allen W. Thurman egg they found
in their nest. They doubtless. love the
treason Of the bolter,n though they
heartily despise the traitor. He will
find it difficult task to furnish any
rational explanation for refusing to
support Headly, because he once was
a Republican, and then voting for Fo-
.raker, who was never anything else.
Manifestly his attachment to Demo-
cratic principles is not very ardent.

1.-THE Scott law tax has been paid by
,2S9 saloon keepers in Cuyaboga coun-
ty. The Leader and the Plain Dealer
agree in the statement that the enforce
ment of the law has not closed one
saloon, every applicant having paid
the tax, the man who keeps the fash
ionable place IS well as the hoodlum
who runs the dive where lewd women
congregate. This fact proves that all
these dives, by the sale of cheap whis-
ky and poor beer and doctored wine,
can afford to pay the tax and still make
a.profit."
Doesn't it also show pretty conclu-
siveiy that revenue, and not regulation,
is the sole effect of the Scott law?

HARPER's WEEKLY seems to think
its Republican friends will have q hard
road TO travel. 1t says:
THE Republican party is smirched
with the whisky ring swindles and the
star route swindles, and the Belknap
swindles and the salary grab, and the
third term plot, and a myriad other
similar jobs and thefts aud crimes.
The argument will be that no reform
is possible until such party is turned
out, and that it can be turned out only
by putting in the Democratic party.
That such plan is shrewd and prom
ising is undeniable.

JUDGE VIM. Fl. WEST has written
an elaborate opinion in response to an
inquiry addressed by j. X. Rukenbrod
of the Salem Republican, in which he
reaches the conclusion that, in view
of the recent decision Of the Supreme
Court, itwould be useless to vote for
and adopt either of the amendments
to the constitution. He showed that
a constitutional amendment requiring
prohibition would be no more efficient
than the present power to prohibit.
So, after all the Republican Legisla-
ture is not entitled to so much credit
as the Republican Convention thought
proper to bestow upon it for having
submitted two amendments which
Judge West regards rs utterly useless.

WHILE the Republican organs care
fully ignore the fact that the Legisla-
ture may under the recent opinion of
the Supreme Court, prohibit the ma.
king and sale of liquors, and parade
the revenues derived from the liquor
tax, the temperance people 20 ON get
ting it into the heads of their followers
that the Scott law in no way regulates
or provides against any of of the abus-
es of the traffic. This is simply pro-
viding further agitation of the SUBJ
ject, with the difference that it will
recur at every election of q legislature.
There are three plain, practical conclu-
sions which will have to be accepted
before there is any cessation of agita.
tion. Free trade In liquors is at an end,
and just and wisely graduated tax
will be levied. Tho statute must by q
license recognise the practical and es-
tablished fact that the manufacture
and sale of liquors is legitimate bu-
siness the abuses to which the traffic
is liable must be provided against and
punished. just as the abuses of any
other business may be provided against
and punished. Until this license is
fixed in the constitution agitation will
now recur with each election for q
SEhCAal aeSChAOAys 4hU
on one side and the tax on the other,
as compromise with what they con.
slider crime, will be subject to con.
tinual assaults from the so-called tenn.
perance element. Like all tenacious,
persistent organizations, they will not
fail at some time to gain successes and
to throw the whole subject into confu-
sion again. All good citizens who do
not believe with the fanatics that to
drink, make, or sell liquors are crimes,
must desire an end of this agitation
and to reach permanent system. The
Scott law is no finality; it is but a step
to something else. With the inter-
pretation put upon the constitution by
the Supreme Court, it is only step to
further temperance agitation, if not in
the election this Fall, in the election
of the next legislature. It is question
able whether the fanatics can gain a
head for substantial effort this Fall
but they will keep the fisld.-[News

The following extracts from the
Harrisburg correspondence of the New
York Sun, dated the 3oth ult., shows
up the hollow heartless hypocricy Of
the boast of the Republican leaders
that their party is the only true friend
of the laboring men:
Charles L. Bailey & Co., proprietors
Of the Chesapeake Nail Works, paid
their men today, and distributed SIO,-
600 of'thisl currency. The workmen
had no knowledge of that changed
value of the coin, and accepted the pay
without protest. The transaction en-
tails upon the laboring men EMPLOYED
in the establishment a loss of 81 500.
Charles L.. Bailey, the head of the
f1rm and Its financial manager, is a
leading Republican politician here.
Two years ago, when the party appre-
hended the loss of this represen tau va
district, Mr.. Bailey accepted tire NOM
ination for Assembly, and used the
influence he had as an EMPLOYER to se.
cure his election. It is freely stated on
the streets and in the mercantile estab-
lishments that he knew the distress
that the payment OF deprecated cur
rency would cause among the work
men, but he gave the trade dollars out
at par. i>
The employees of the LOohiel Steel
Works, at Steelton, of which Senator
Don Cameron is a stock holder, who

had only the trade dollars in their
pockets, and sustained the loss that fell
upon the others. The Post Office dis.
bursed than to uniformed persons
also. One man, a messenger of one of
the State Departmental had thirty trade
dollars imposed upon him. The ex-
citenient increases as the evening ad-
vances.

The only virtue the Republican pol
iticians claim for the Scott law is that
it will add about 81, 800, 900 to the pub
lie revenue. But the Supreme Court
very properly decided that as a reve-
nue. measure it would be unconstitu-
tional, because taxes must be levied
equally on all property in. the State
and by a uniform rule. and that its
validity could only be defended as a
measure to regulate the liquor traffic.
Now, perhaps some wise Republican
can explain to us just how the pay
ment of $500 for the privilege of sell
ing liquor regulates or mitigates the
evils Of the traffic. 1t would seem as
though the payment OF the tax would
furnish an inducement for increased
sales, while it would in no wise inter
fere with the appetites of those who
drink. But we are anxiously waiting
| for some posted Republican to rise up
and give US light upon the subject.
