PLAIN GENTLEMEN.
The Aversion of Secretary Lamar and Mr..
Garland to Society.


Washington Correspondence Post-pispatch.
Messrs. Garland and Lamar are the two quiet
members of the new Cabinet. Neither of them
will do anything in the way of entertaining
Garland has positive dislike to going out in
society, and refuses nearly every invitation sent
him. He Is occasionally coaxed out to gentle
mans dinner, but beyond that he is never seen
anywhere. He will not consent to change his
quiet method of life since he has become Attor-
ney general. His mother, Mrs Hubbard, is as
plain and old-fashioned as her son. Last
Wednesday (which is the day when the Cabinet
officials receive) number Of fashionable ladies
called at Mr.. Garland's plain house, upon Massa
chusetts avenue. Instead of being received by
a servant at the door. Mrs Hubbard came her
self. She was very dignifed and self Possessed
She showed the ladies into the parlor and sat
down and talked with them in the most
matter Of fact way. She seemed to have
a good knowledge of the politics
of Washington, and was more familiar
with the public men than with mere social af-
fairs Every time there was ring at the bell
she would excuse herself and go to the door to
admit new callers After time bright-faced
old colored woman came up from down stairs
and said, MRS. Hubbard l will attend door
now for while" All of the ladies who called
pleasure in their call at this house, and perhaps
more, than they did in the houses where they
were received with more ceremony.
Mr. Lamar is perhaps fonder of general society
than Mr. Garland, but he is equally quiet and
simple in his tastes. He takes no pleasure in a
general reception. He likes little dinner parties
and limited circle of congenial friends He
has great dignity and selfpossession, but has no
small change in the way of light conversation
He therefore, finds the society OF strangers
rather irksome / do not believe that he will
attempt to set up any establishment here, at
least for year or so. His daughter, who is here,
is young miss just out of school, and her father
does not desire to put upon her the burden of
taking charge of social establishment

The Blowing mp OF Flood Rock.

The 2s0,O00 pounds of dynamite
under Flood Rock, He'll Gate, New
York. we're exploded at Saturda,
morning. The shock was plainly fell
at the lower end of Manhattan Island
The shock of the explosion was similar
to that of the earthquake experienced
Avsar or two ago. No rumbling pre-
cedsd or followed it, and it did not oc>
onpy more than one second. To the
crowd on top of the Western Union
building all that could be seen was a
high column Of smoke and water,
which rose to an immense distance.
Immediately after the explosion the
craft oh the river commenced blowing
whistles and fog horns, aud bells were
rung. The morning was very hazy
ihe rsof tops all over the city were
black with people and many tImid
people took up positions In the middle
OF the streets. As far as il was pos
nole to judge from the position and
appearance of the wreck. the explosion
mas been an entire success, though, for
,ne present, the vicinity of Blasted
heck will be even more dangerous
than heretofore until the wreck has
oeen removed. The shock was felt to
Ahght extent in New York city. II
was distinctly felt in the City Hall
building. The structure trembled for
the space Of n few seconds. At the
county Court house the shock was
aIso distinctly felt in the upper part
si the building. The floors shook
Aao the windows trembled when the
explosion occurred.

DIR. John Stage Davis died on Friday
last at the University of Virginia, after
an illness of six weeks, from paralysis, in
the 6lst year of his age. AT the age of lt
he bore away the M. A. degree at the Uni
versity of Virginia, and the following yeal
received his M. D. He further pursued
the study of his profession in Philadel-
phia, where he was companion of Elisha
Kent Kane, the Arctic explorer. Since
1916 he has been connected with the Uni.
versity as instructor and professor. DR..
Davis's first wife was Miss Blackford, Of
Lynchbnrg, Va, who died in 1859. His
second wife was Miss Caroline Hill. who
survives him. DR.. Davis was regard.
ed as one of the foremost lecturers on
anatomy in America, and was a gentle
man widely and favorably known. For
many years he was the resident physician
at Rockbridge Alum Springs and the
frequenters of that popular resort held
him in the highest esteem.

John Roach.

The Democratic press, with singular
unanimity, have charged the recent as
signment of John Roach, the great ship
builder and friend of American labor, to
an unworthy political purpose, and with a
view to party capital. Mr.. Roach is a Re-
publican for the simple reason that he be-
lieves in unfolding and supporting Amer
can industries. He has written pamphlet
after pamphlet and article upon article, to
impress upon the American people the ne
cessity of giving employment to home la
Dor as the essential means of building up
the industrial independence of this coun-
try and has contributed largely of his
brains and money to maintain the party
that is peculiarly the representative and
advocate of this great interest. He is a
noble hearted, broad minded, patriotic
Irish American citizen, who has gone up
through all the grades of labor, until the
developments of his enterprise and en-
larged business grasp reached to $500
immediate employees and not less than
$4,000 persons looking to his operations as
the means of support. He believes that
it is the true policy Of this country to be
Independent in everything that the par
amount source of national prosperity is to
give remunerative employment to Amer
lean labor. and his great energies and Ca
pacities have been directed to this end.
Proverbially honest, there is no fair
MOI xubo 1y1an him x1rI,n will rnoCf ion
the sincerity and truth of every utterance
he makes. Intensely American and iden-
titled with labor in all Of his forms, one
great cause of his grief and prostration in
his old age, is the suffering his enforced
failure entails upon the laboring classes.
1t is the sympathy that is known to be
felt for him. throughout all the avenues of
business, and the effect his assignment will
have to direct attention to the causes of it,
which have stirred the Democratic press
in their attempt to divert the popular
mind, and forestall popular indignation.
The suspension of his vast operation,
giving employment to thousands of indus
trious laborers, is directly traceable to the
free ships and free trade notions Of that
party and to the fact that the Democracy
has now the control of the Executive and
popular legislative branches OF the gov
eminent. 1t is but the beginning of the
end. American industries are, we fear,
yet to suffer more than anything yet ever
realized in this country. Capital will take
care of itself. 1t will retire before a
constant menace, and labor must, as a
consequence, feel the disastrous effects
Twelve months more of business paraly-
sis, will impress the American people with
the.meaning of Democratic ascendancy and
Democratic policy.

The Platform.


In the proceedings of the Convention
published elsewhere, appears the platform
adopted by the Republicans Of. Virginia.
It's a vigorous document, bold and plain
ly written. 1t touches upon everything
that by any possibility can enter as an is
sue into the campaign, and deals with it
ina positive manner. Whatever objec-
tion may be raised to it, will not be be-
cause of the uncertainty of any of It's ut
terances. In these it is distinct, and
whilst we can but admire the vigOr OF its
English. we are forced to admit that much
of it would have been more appro-
pirate from the hastings than as the
deliberate declaration Of a party platform.
The issues inydl we'd in the approaching
contest are clear and well defined,
and they should be calmly and dis
passionately presented. They appeal to
the reason and the Judgment of all
sensible men and need no philippe to
bring them into bold relief. The position
! Of the Republicans upon the State debt,
the tariff, the Blair bill, the schools and
minor issues is established and recognized
by all irrespective of party, and from
this vantage ground they must press the
fight. To lug in side issues that can have
no other effect than to intlame passion is
simply playing into Bourbon hands. Tc
galvaniZe the Danyille ghost is to invite
a repetition of the deed with all of its
consequences. In the oncoming contest
the whole aim of the Democratic party
will be to give prominence to the race
question; to repeat the tactics of 1855
and by arousing prejudice against the ne
gro, subordinate the reason of the people
and lead them away from the real i6ne'
that involve their material welfare. Tht
Democratic party has no other grount
to stand upon. Its advocates dare moi
meettheir opponents in the fair field Of
debate. They have no record to which
they can appeal, and their only hope OF
success is in so poisoning the public mint
that men will forget all else in the blint
frenzy Of prejudice. Everything tina
w pllClIl III lll1O NACOioUlC w ol
fare will be awaited Of, and it should bt
the aim Of the Republicans to give then
no excuse for such refuge. For thi
reason we, think that that part of the plat
form which speaks of "brutalities," las
sassins," and so forth. had better been
. omitted. Epithet is not argument. De
nunciation never made votes. The rattle
should it be our aim to clear the atmos
phere of everything that can becloud tn
vital questions at stake, and let the pee
pie clearly perceive and understand wher
their interests lie. The hope of the Re
publican party-the hope of Virginia, is i
a calm appeal to the common sense an
reason of the masses-an arousing of tn
] independent manhood of the State. L
} this fight We start with every advantage
Every legitimate argument is ours, ant
, we should see to it that we do not throN
away the victory by forsaking this highe
{ ground for the lower level of unreasoninl
passion-the enemy's chosen field.

Harrisonburg was considerably stirred
up last week by the expression of the opin-
ion by prominent physician that Mr.. G.
P. Bruffy had died from the effects of
morphia, instead of from apoplexy. The
deceased had taken what was intended for
quinine to relieve pain in the head,
but it was possible mistake had been
made by the druggist in giving out the
medicine. The body of Mr.. Bruffy was
disinterred, but it was found so far de-
composed as to make post norton ex-
animation impossible. The coroner's jury
was reconvened, and all available testimony
taken, with the result that death was
caused by apoplexy. OF course the doc
tors differed, and several Of them gave
their testimony.

The July report of the Department of
Agriculture on the condition of the crops
of the country, in addition to warning
farmers against selling out too soon on &C.
count of the poor crop of wheat, which
feature of the report was published in adj
vance, says, in regard to corn, that the
condition of that crop at present is higher
than in any year since 1880, except the
last, though the report does not undertake
to guarantee the future uniformity of the
condition. The condition of oats prom
ises large crop. The same is said of the
potato crop. The area of sorghum is re-
puted to have declined in nearly all the
States where it is grown. Cotton has
made considerable improvement Turing
June. The prospects of the apple and
peach crops have declined considerably
during the past thirty days. In regard TO
spring wheat in Maryland, the report says
that the threshing in Maryland and Vir-
ginia gives better results than the straw
indicated. but notwithstanding this, the
result in Virginia is quite disastrous.
