The Situation in Florida.

WASHINGTON, August6.-Rep-
resentative Bisbee, of Florida, is
in Washington collecting material
for the political canvass in his
district. His information from
Florida shows that there is fair
prospect of the success of the
Independent State ticket, which
will be heartily supported by the
Republicans. The Independent
candidate for Governor is young,
popular and energetic, and is
making a personal canvass. lie
is a native of the State and acted
with the Democrats until after the
election of 1880, when he became
disguised with the Democratic
frauds in his own county of Madi-
son and left the Bourbon ranks.
His opponent Is a carpet Dagger
from Massachusetts, who is a
Democrat in good standing, owing
to his services in the rebel army,
on account of which he was
rewarded with the nomination for
Governor.
The success of the Independent
State ticket, Colonel Bisbee believes
will insure a victory for the Rep
ublican electoral ticket, because it
will compel a fair election and
honest count of the votes. There
is no doubt whatever that with
anything like q fair count and re-
turn of the votes, Florida is Rep
ublican by at least 5000 majority.
Colonel Bisbee has no doubt of his
own reelection to Congress and he
thinks there is a fair prospect
that the Republican candidate for
Congress in First district also will
be elected. He lives at Key West,
where there is a large Cuban vote,
and the Cubans throughout Flori-
da are all for Blaine and Logan.
Heretofore they have been divided,
a majority of them voting the
Democratic ticket,

A Young Heroine.

NEW YORK, August 11.-Among
the residents of 'Shantytown, a
settlement of poor and INDECENT
people on the rocks in the upper
part of the city, is seventeen
year-old girl, named Mary Hey
burne, who, despite her youth, has
already rescued a number of people
from drowning, and is regarded as
a sort of mascot by the people of
the vicinity. Five years ago Mary
jumped into the East river after a
boy who had fallen overheard, and
she brought him safely to the shore.
Since then she has rescued no less
then six others, the last one being
the wife of canal boat captain,
who fell from the boat about two
ago.
For this heroic act Mary received

Democratic Distrust.

The Albany Evening Journal has
collected a large expression from
prominent Democratic sources of
dissatisfaction with Cleveland as
a Presidential candidate and dis
trust of his ability to carry the
election. Among the prominent
Democratic newspaper which have
made these hostile comments and
lugubrious predictions Of defeat
are the New York Sun, Star, Irish
World Buffalo Times, Hartford
Telegram, Freeman's Journal, Irish
Nation, Albany Times, Troy Press,
Albany Catholic Telegraph, RocheS-
ter Union and Advertiser; and
the forebodiDgs of the DemOratic
newspapers, especially those pub
liShed in Cleveland's own State,
are supplemented with similar
expressions from conspicuous lead
ers like Senator Lamar, of Missis-
sippi, Governor Stockley, of Della
ware, ex-Mayor Fish, or Rochester,
William Purcell, John Kelly, John
f. Henry, president of the anti
monopoly organization. and various
representatives Of trades, unions
and labor interests.

The legislators of Virginia con-
vened themselves on Wednesday.
One hundred members of the House
and forty members Of the Senate
draw each $4,000. This aggre-
gates exactly S25,2OO.OO. The
clerk of the Senate with his asss-
tants, the clerk of the House with
his, all the committee clerks, the
Sargents at arms, the door keepers,
and all the other good fellows are
assembled and draw the pay allot-
ted them by the law as it stands
1t is q nice little snack for mid
summer while the farmer and his
boys are blowing corn, and break
ing ground for another wheat crop
and while the wheat their sweat
watered last year is bringing so to

We imagine the ponderous men
assembled telling each other how
all this is money well spent. There
are the great Robert Tin Barton
The thorough bred j. InonSence
Opie, by investigation, and the i'm
aculate corrector j. Luna. Hurt,
Edmondson will laugh while Thur
mOnd and Christian interrogate
each other as to the real reason for
being there beyond paying respects
to Ned Cummings and drawing
their pay.
There are lots Of good fellows
"walking around the ramparts OF
the constitution who knew as well
as we do that they should be at
home. An old gentleman there
from Botetourt will give his pay to
some charitable society and the
Augusta Senator will turn his over
to his other breeches pocket.
One subject for congratulation is
that the session is held in a season
not calculated to raise any serious
oyster war between our friends
Tom longs of Middlesx and Doctor
Dredge of Accomac.
Of course we are sorry that
Rogers is called from his farm labOrS
at this busy season, and that Bliss

in dog days.
But there will be lots of patriots
on hand whom we cannot name
here, who will see that.no greater
mischief is done than drawing the

THERE never was time when
the maxim, "WhOm the gods would
destroy they first made mad" had
filter application than just now,
when the voters of fifty.six millions
of people are thinking upon the
qualifications and election of a
chief executive.
1t was long ago understood by
the lOafers of politics, who were
wont to live on office, that Blaine
and Logan would be elected if
nominated. SO long as two months
before the so-called democratic con-
vention every BLACKBOARD journal
that could be hired to villify, de-
fame and tattoo these two men
was taken into the service. The
nominations were made all the
same. In violent anger they carica-
tured and tattooed a few more
times. In wrathful despair they
seemed to almost quit. Harper is
mad as a March hare over the loss
of his $4,000 or more and Puck
must earn his money. NaSt's hand
is nervous and Kepler draws his
lines with little skill. The field
for vulgar caricatures has widened
on the other side, and these hired
outline markers of the engraver S
falsehood and publishers lies grow
mad, madden, maddest, as they
contemplate how either might have
excelled the other if he had only
chosen Grover Cleveland and Mrs.
Halpin, the two children, the hos
pital, the asylum, lawyer Bur
rows, Henry Ward Beecher, and
Carl Shirts as his models. Like
the spiteful August rattle snake,
they can do nothing but initiate
themselves and snap their poisoned
fangs into their own shedding
skins.

serenity that isalmost sublime and

The Next House of Represen'
tatiVes
From the New York Tribune.

WASHINGTON, August S.-The
information now in the hands of
the Republican Congressional Com
mittee furnishes reasonable ground
for the belief that the fall elections
in Congressional districts will result
in the return of a Republican ma
jority to the next House Of Repre-
sentatives. So far, according to all
accounts, the Republicans nomina-
ted for Congress are men of high
character and strong in their
respective districts. In not more
than one case has the struggle
over a nomination embittered the
friend of the Republican competi-
tors, and even in that case there
is no reason to expect that the
discomfort will affect the result.
Well.informed Democrats, vino
have carefully looked over the
field, and, as far as practicable,
compared the votes in each district
for the last three Congressional
elections, concede that nearly eight
districts are in doubt. with the
chances favoring the Republicans
in nearly two-thirds Of them.
A gain of forty Representatives
will give the Republicans a ma
jority in the next House, and it is
believed that by earnest efforts such
a gain may be secured in the
Western, Southern and Pacific
States alone. 1t is thought, for
example, that six Republican
congressman may be gained in
California and Nevada and fifteen
in Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan and
Indiana. Gains are also expected
in Ohio, West Virginia, PennSyl-
vania, Connecticut, Massachusetts,
and New York. The management
of the Congressional campaign
could not be in better hands. Secre-
tary Mcpherson is thoroughly
familiar with the situation and
fully informed as to the prospects
in every doubtful district, and he
is devoting all his energies and
skill to the work before him.
The Importance of Republican
majority in the next House can
hardly be OvereStimated, in view
of the necessity of some careful,
prudent and intelligent financial
legislation, which the country can
not hope for from a Democratic
Congress.

Is there democrat in Shenan-
dOah less brave than his fore
fathers? Before the days of "Old
Hickory" the party under the lead
and direction of jefferson had been
called republican. Thieves rushed
in and made a change of name
necessary, and, thereafter, it was
democrat, "Old Hickory" said he
would give up the presidency be-
fore he would surrender his views

in reply to the Virginia representa-
tive of the Virginia delegation. 1t

pronounced. A few weeks ago we

At that time Cleveland and his

war, encouraged us to stay there
and asked for compound interest
when it was all over. Blaine and

became our friends. The other

OUR TICKET.

OUR editorial notice on the re-
moval of Capt. Rice has caused
some comment in the circles where
one-sided debate abounds, much of
which has found its way to the
streets.
Let it go on. Judges are as
much open to criticism as other
public functionaries. 1t was an
adverse view to this that made the
English government Serfs of her
judiciary, and made her judiciary,
including Bacon, corrupt emissar-
les of tyranny and title.
Judge Turner may have better
reasons for removing Capt. Rice
than he assigned. Those he plac-
ed on record are not only weak but
labored and silly. The business
which required Capt. Rice's atten-
ton here, he came here to attend
to, and did it promptly. He was
appointed to attend to business
of people generally, twenty miles
remote from here. Mr.. E. E. Stick
ley was a commissioner, when he
lived in Strasburg. Mr.. L. Trip
lett, Jr., is now a commissioner
living in Mt. Jackson. True, Mr..
Triplett is of the county court; but
the records of all courts are here,
and if the commissioner should
live with the record or sleep in the
clerks Office, why not in all courts?
and why not heretofore as now?
We have this to say further
If Judge Newman had come to;
Woodstock and had turned out
one-legged or one-armed soldier,
and had appointed man who was
related to him in Misplace, and had
given for his action only such rea-
sons as Judge Turner gave, and
had placed those reasons on record,
he would have been laughed at,
abused and scorned by the very
people who try to appear as ap-
proving Judge Turner's action.
We now serve notice, also, that
people may say our animus is I'M
friendliness to Judge Turner as
much and as often as they please,
we only say for ourselves that we
never had an unfriendly impulse
toward Judge Turner.
But, whatever others may say of
our motive, we think we are right.
We regard Judge Turner's action
in this matter as an injustice to at
least one-fourth of this county,
and when we take into considera-
ton the circumstances attending
and surrounding it, coupling
Herewith the reasons assigned, we
are scarcely satisfied that "injus-
tice' is the word.
Did the members of the bar here
ask for another resident commits
siOner and the turning out of Rice =?
Did any one member ask for it ?
Not this even is assigned in the
record of removal. If one lawyer
did it who was he?
The record says the commission
ers must live at the Court house.
where the records are kept. In
large number of the counties of
this state, nearly all of "Old Vir-
ginia," as the Neck counties were
called, there is neither lawyer nor
commissioner at the courthouse.
People have commissioners. Here
it is 60 to the court house for every
thing. The aged and sick must
cOnrt house it "tO give in depO
sition,p or some body must be car
ried to them from the court house
to a deposition or something else.
We cannot enlarge upon this
subject without riSkOf the criticism
chat our readers are as simple
minded as Judge Turner suppos-
ed the people of the county to be
when lie entered his order. We
must give it in broken doses.

IN exact proportion as people
who work and produce are Cypress
ed, spectators upon the fruits Of
labor, and money lenders, grow
fatter.
Under the deceitful cry Of reve-
nue. reform these classes Of leecheS
aud sharks have twice brought
about absolute free trade.
With what results space fOrbids
us to tell. Only history can give
it as it is.
The free-trade panic Of 1887
made millions of small property
holders paupers and made a few
idlers, traders, lenders and attOr
neyS rich. This was repeated in
1857. Hence the growth Of the
numbers Of:milliOnaires in this
country, and the consequent build
ing of an aristocracy.
To make a speculator, or trader,
or lender, who produces nothing,
richer, implies simply that those
who do work and do produce re-
main where they are, or get cor
respOndingly poorer.
The trained Spectator, or trader,
or lender wants these periods Of
thrift for himself to recur as often
as possible.
The importer Of foreign goods
and his statesmen would like to
have it so all the time.
These things have never been
done under an honest name or any
but treacherous representations
and platforms.
Do our people want to go back
to the day when calicOes and cot
tons sold from nine pence to Shill-
ings and one and Sixpence a yard?
When America was so English that
our merchants marked their goods
by English currency nominations?
Reader, there is a great big bug
under this chip. Turn the chip
over and look at it, and then say
which side is really and truly DEM
ocratic.
Here is the bug: Free-trade
means free goods from England.
The importers of these goods are
largely benefited, and the buyers
of these goods get them a little
cheaper.
The exporter, the trader, the
lender, wants protection removed
from foreign wheat, corn, &C., that
it may be made cheaper and, till
production yields only debt, and
lands pass into prOprietorship as
they stand to-day in England.
Wheat to-day is IS to So cents
per bushel, with a phosphate agent
running us to death for the next
crop and money lenders and dis
counters chasing us around every
corner for the last one.
This because of English policy
against us of America. We are III
competition with one good crop
from Australia, Russia and India.
Turn the balance of the world loose
upon us, and then we may tie
torches to the tails of foxes and
burn up our crops.
God never made a slave. But
He has allowed tribes and nations
to do as much for themselves when
they subOrdinated the reason with
which He endowed them to the
passions and prejudices Of their
days and generations.
