MAJOR JEp HoTcHIss, the eminent min
ing engineer Of Virginia and editor of the
Virginias an influential journal published
at Stanton, and devoted to the development
of the resources of the two States Of Viz
GINA and West Virginia, is out in a card
announcing himself an independent candi-
date for Congress against RAN Tucker,
who at present represents the Tenth Vir-
GINA district. Major HOrCHEIss, in man
ly way, announces the purpose of his can
didacy to be to set before the people Of the
district the issue of the tariff Mr.. TUCEER
is q pronounced free trader and has had
great influence in impreSsing his views
upon his fellow members in Congress. The
District that Mr.. TUcKER represents has a
large interest that demands protection, and
it is quite probable that the canvass be-
tween these two distinguished gentlemen
will be interesting. Major HorcHEIss has
probably been more instrumental in deyel-
oping the resources Of the great Valley of
Virginia than any man in that State. We
shall watch the canvass with interest,

The Elkins Tactic
". y. Times { hd.)

Purely financial work is what Mr.
Elkins is deeribed as doing in West Virgin
ia. II is nor unnatural that a certain ele-
ment among Mr. Blaine's active supporters
should have high appreciation of the in
auence Of money upon political trsussc,
tons. But it is doubtful whether enough
votes can be bought either with mone7 or
promises for Mr.. Blaine to counter balance
those which he loses by his own too indis-
criminate mixing Of politics and finance
Independent and selfrespecting RepubG-
cans will, moreover, not be strengthened in
their confidence in the candidate they are
asked to support by this open display Of the
tactics of Mr.. Elkins. Mr. Arthurs refer
ence to soap" in the Indiana campaign of
1890 did much to bring about the election
Of Gov. Cleveland in 1882 and the defeat Of

HOW THEY WORK 1T.

The Charleston Times says Yirginians
cling TO the notion that West Virginia
must sooner or later pay oue-third Of the
So, 100000 owed by Virginia, and are
keeping close watch upon the scheme Of
the Mason party to bring West Virginia up
to the paying point. West Virginia made

matter viii rest where the rejection left II
No mistake need be made about this The
resolution lately offered in the Virginia
Legislature by Senator LYbrOok to repudi-

Malone, which was simply Reputation I'M

never pay. She would rather owe her
hOndholders all their lives than cheat them
out Of their due
While it is true, as the Times suggests
that Virginia will never repudiate and never
pay il must not be forgotten that the Mason
syndicate viii work its scheme for all it is
worth to get West Virginia committed to
a payment Of one third of that debt The
syndicate adopts jar GoULD's tactics when
he declared himself Democrat in Demo

Mason syndicate as long as West Virginia

Democratic harness and thus attempt to
commit the dominant party to its scheme,
A part of this scheme is to rid out OF the
party or relegste to the rear all who cannot
be controlled or subsidized. The Times Is
night. West Virginia should keep close
watch on the scheme

There is still trouble in the camp. Gov
ernor Jackson made speech of an hour or
longer at PhiHppi last Monday and did not
mention Mr.. Wilson's name. 1t is said that
Jake is very mad because Wilson has had
the sense to get on good terms with the
Wheeling REGIsrER crowd and also to repu-
date the obnoxious assessment record Of
the State administration. He is also very
mad about Joe Miller defeat by Dave Leon
ard for the Craftsmanship Of the Democratic

Jake is so constituted that he has to be mad
at somebody all the time. He will not hurt
anybody.

this was disordered-rich laces, flowers
and a fan living strewn on toilet table and
floor: only, whereas the other seemed
empty Of human presence, this did not;
only, whereas the other little white bed
was vacant, smooth and impressed, this
was occupied.
Isabel led me to the bedside. Before us
lay what seemed SO like herself that l
glanced at her to assure myself that she
was standing by my side and not lying be-
fore my eyes.
The figure on the bed was dressed in
ball dress of white satin and rlcn lace,
loOped up with great wreaths of water
lilies and grasses. Her hair, which now
saw to be fairer than IsabePs, fell over the
pillow in heavy curls that almost touched
the floor. The eyes had a vacant stare,
but they were the gray eyes of Isabel; the
cheeks had a deadly pallor, but they had
also the rounded contour of IsabePs. over
the neck and bust was thrown thick
white lace scarf.
A growing horror held me rooted to the
spot. / cOHld neither speak nor move, for,
let me say it at once, the face before me
had on it the plain signet of death. l stood
waiting for what should come, and this IS
what did come.
The girl beside me whispered low in my
ear:
There! Isitnot lovely? Look, Frances
Graham, this is my work." she drew the
lace from the throat and bosom of the
body on the bed, and minute after threw
the candlestick wildly from her, and. as
darkness fell on the room, broke into peal
after peal of ear-piercing, terrible laugh
ter. But between the withdrawal OF that
lace and the coming OF that darkness was
a clear moment, and in that moment |
saw most plainly, most Enthusiastically, all
/. that the scarf had hidden. Onthat snowy
bosom were dark crimson stains, and
across that soft throat was deep red
/ cash.
Then material night deepened to men
tai darkness and there came mercltul
blank.

DE LESSEPS.

Some Interesting Stories About Him.
The London Times relates the following
of NJ. de Lesseps: ''On NJ. de Lesseps what
are called the nerves have no influence
at all. Nobody seems less liable to physi-
cal suffering, and his closest friends are
puzzled whether to attribute this to ro-
business or to indomitable will. Three
years ago, on his way back from Egypt,
the sea was rough, and on mounting the
stairs to the upper deck to reach his cab
IN the rolling of the vessel forced him to
cling to the trap-dOor. A tremendous
lurch flung the door down, his hand being
damned in the opening. Everybody cried
out, but NJ. de Lesseps cOOlly waited till a
rolling III the opposite direction had raised
the door, shook his hand and walked on.
Last year he fell from his horse and frac-
tured his arm. People wanted to bandage
1t, but he declined, put his arm in his vest,
and kept it so for two days. after which
he said it was all right. He once came
back from a journey and found one of his
children seriously ill. He went up to the
BED and took the child's arm, whereupon
the child opened his eyes and smiled. The
doctor said, 1T is the first time he has
smiled; the contact of your hand has re-
lieved him. DO you think SOP said VI,
de Lesseps; and be sat down by the bed,
keeping the child's arm in his hand. In
this posture he remained for four days and
nights, IN his travelling attire, scarcely
eating or drinking, and without leaving.
hold of the child's arm. After this the
child ceased complaining and slept sound
ly. Then only did NJ. de Lesseps rise and
think Of resting and changing his gar
ments."

Dublin, has just written, in an English
medical journal, of his wonderful expert
mental results with the common mullen
plant upon lung and bronchial affections,
citing cases where he had given it to con-

result, and recommends its use by the
profession. Referring to the above, we

made from the formula of the medicine

not only of the mullen plant, but has in
