We are opposed to all propositions which
upon any pretexts, would convert the gem
eral government into a machine for col
lecting taxes to be distributed among the
States or citizens thereof.-Democratic
Platform.
This is intended as denunciation OF
the Republican Senate for passing the
Blair Educational Bill, by which some
fifty-five millions of dollars would have
been distributed through the South for
the education of poor children. This bill
passed the Senate by Republican votes and
was bitterly opposed by the Democrats
led by Bayard, but when it reached the
House, where there was large Demo
cratic majority, it was not even deemed
worthy of introduction. And so it was
that the children of the South were robbed
by those who were sent to Congress to pro-
tect their interests.

Alex. R. Shepherd, known as the Boss,
formerly Governor of the District of Co
lumbia, is about to visit his native city,
after long absence in Mexico. On the
occasion of his return it is proposed by
prominent citizens to give him a grand
welcome, such as has never been extended
to any citizen in the history of the city
Washington owes its beauty and growth
to the wise forethought and courageous eff
forts of Mr.. Shepherd, and no honor the
citizens of the metropolis can pay him will
be beyond what he deserves. He was the
worst slandered and villiied man when he
left Washington that ever lived there, but
time has demonstrated the wrong done
him, as this proposed reception denotes.

nr,1nkenn ass Cured.

1t is generally presumed that when a
man has been cured once OF some infirmlty
OIL complication of diseases by the use of
our medicine, that he knows good thing
when he sees it. 1t is stated by those who
know that monkey cannot be induced to
partake a second time of any drink which
contains alcohol. 1t appears as If the
memory of the pangs and fortunes first in
fiicted exert beneficial influence upon
the animal. Man is quite different in this
regard, and a glance about US Will show
that numbers of our friends and neighbors
are daily becoming the worse by the use OF
intoxicants. This can be remedIed by the
moderate use of we'll known remedy
called PERUNA. If the medicine is taken
daily, the appetite for liquor will be finally
removed, and the patient, no matter what
his previous condition, will be restored to
sobriety and to society. Yes, PERUNA is
great medicine, and should be used by
all. Send for it.

Lexington. Va, Enterprise: Mr.. A. 7.
Hanger, of Lexington, died last Wednes-
day morning at the. home of his brother,
Mr.. John Hanger, of Augusta county.
Mr.. Hanger, better known as "Gus."
was born in Augusta county, Virginia, on
August 20, 1888. He served in the late
war and was known as brave soldier. At
the close of the war, he settled in Lexing-
ton, where, by hard work and strict econ
omy, he accumulated considerable prop
erty. He was strictly honest and honor
able in all his business transactions, and
was very kind and obliging friend to
those whom he liked. To the sick, he was
especially kind and we, for one, shall ever
remember with feelings of love his kind
ness to us. He had a number Of warm
personal friends in Lexington, who Bit
terly mourn his untimely death. He was
warm hearted, kind, true as steel" to a
friend and honorable in his dealings with
men, so let us throw the mantle of charity
over his faults, trusting that his soul is at
rest in the spirit land to which it has gone.
The funeral services took place at his
home in Lexington and were conducted by
Rev. Mr.. Wade. His remains were in
tered in the town cemetery.

The Buffalo Express, Republican pa
per. first boosted Grover Cleveland into
public notice, by urging his election as
Mayor of that city, as rebuke to the Re-
publican machine that had run the city
government into corruption. The same
paper brought him out for Governor and
urged his nomination upon the Democrat
ic party, with the promise Of independent
Republican support. The Express now
supports Blaine, satisfied from the admin
istration of Cleveland as Governor that
he has fallen under the influence of the
Democratic machine at time when the
Republicans have discarded that instru-
ment. The Express thinks there is no
more reform in Cleveland.

served for Pennsylvania miner to make
the discovery of prolific bed of anthra-
cite coal in Frederick county. 1t is To-
Gated about Is miles west of Winchester,

of fifteen feet thickness, and covers an
area about eight miles square. A vein of
silver has also been discovered on Brush
Greek, in the same county. The coal
property has been purchased by a North

FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.

Under our liberal institutions the subjects
and citizens of every nation have been well
coined to a home in our midst, and on o COM
pliance with our laws to a cooperation in our
government. While it is the policy of the re-
other nations and offer them facilities for be-
coming useful and intelligent citizens in the
legal definition of the term, the party has never
contemplated the admission of a class of SER
vile people who are not only unable to compre-
bend our institutions, but tndisposed to become
higher civilization than their own. To admit
such immigrants would be only to throw q re-
tarding element into the very path of our pro-
gress Our legislation should be amply pro-
tective against this dangerand if not sufficient
ly so now, should be made so to the full extent
allowed by our treaties with friendly powers.

SEVEN DOGS HER COMPANIONS.
Tho Singular Home Life OF Miss Lock-
wood Brought Out in Settling Her
Ehtnle.
PAilddslphia Tinies.

INbuuSspttu A"tes'
Judge Hanna, of tho orphans court, has
filed an adjudication in the estate of Rebecca
+. Lockwood, an elderly maiden lady, who
lived in two-story frame house in West
Philadelphia Cor years. with only seven dogs
for companions. Sho depended for support
upon little income from trust estate.
Remittances were irregular and she was
sometimes sorely pinched. 1t was testified,
however, that, though she might want, her
pets had regular and full meals. When
money came she would buy them such
luxuries as sponge cake and cream candy.
Her especial favorite was bull called
Harry" She took him to Florida twice.
He died about two years ago, and his mis-
tress was almost inconsolable. She kept his
body above ground for two weeks, and was
forced into asserting to his burial only by
her neghbors' threats of having the board of
health called in. She paid a colored man $40
to have the interment made reverently. Her
neighbors, having been driven to tho point
of distraction by the nightly baying of tho
dogs, had made so many threats of reporting
them to tho health officer as q nuisance that
Miss Lockwood thought they surely would do
SO at last. So she broke up her house abruptly
and secured lodging for herself and her sur
viving pets at Mrs. Mary Joness boarding
house on South street. Her pets were rigidly
confined now to Mrs. Jones's cellar. Miss
Lockwood visited them regularly and saw
that they were properly attended to. She
herself, however, survived tho death of her
chief favorite but few months. The be-
reaved half dozen dogs, utterly friendless
now, were hustled OFF to the dog boarding
house, on Lombard street. run by the Society
for tho Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
The court was not informed as to what had
become of them after that. 1t was under
stood, however, that charcoal fumes ended
their existence. Mrs. Jones made claim
of SAC against about 81, 200 left by Miss Lock-
wood for attendance on the dogs for twenty
three weeks, at So o week. The money was
awarded her. The bulk of the remainder
went to pay Miss Lockwood's board, medical,
nurse, and undertaker's bills. The little
that was left over went to the dead womans
collateral heirs.

THE LUXURY OF LIFE IN INDIA.
How an Army OF Servants May be Utu-
ized, Even with n Small Income.
Calcutta Letter m Chicago Tribune

iZed, Even with n Small Income.
Calcutta Letter IN Chicago Tribune.
Americans have no idea of tho extreme to
which luxury may DO carried. Whom say
luxury, have in mind personal helplessness,
acquired by long and diligent study. Think
of sleeping with punkah waving over you
all night, operated by tireless coolie, as
many of the wealthy people in Calcutta do.
Soft-footed Hindoos move noiselessly along
the marble floors, their spider limbs con-
cealed in respectable sirOnGs Every want is
attended to before you can get chance to
help yourself Even If il is so small u thing
as putting on your hat or slippers, opening an
umbrella, or washing and dressing in the
morning, there is polite attendant waiting
at your side to assist.
To an American this multiplicity Of SER
wants is, at first, u nuisance. He feels that
he might at least DO permitted TO make his
own toilet in peace, and looks upon these
silent but OmniprOsent attendants as so many
spies. But ho reflects that tho servant cam
not eavesdrop without a knowledge of the
English language, his independent spirit
gradually succumbs to tho climate and no Mt
length passes into languid, dreamy state of
acquiescenco accepting tho most trivial and
petty services from these dusky creatures as
though always accustomed to them.
Really help is so cheap here that 1t seems q
pity not to avail yourself Of q small army of
servants. | have yet to meet missionary
family in tho Orient that did not employ at
least three or four, who take upon themselves
the entire responsibility of the hOusework.
