The so.called democrats have
three times disturbed political
meetings at Mt. Jackson. On no
occasion that we can recall were
they disturbed there. They at
tempted the same role Tuesday
night. But Governor Foraker had
the gentlemen to respond to the ad.
vertisement made for him, and two
brass bands, with hired associates,
could not divert the audience. The
meeting at Mt. Jackson was a
grand success. We are ready for
the results of the meeting at Mt.

FORAKER At MT. JACKSON.

Bourbon indecency Outdid itself
when Gov. Foraker spoke at Mt.
Jackson, although they had three
or more undisturbed speeches, and
this was the FIST for the repubh-
cans. The bourbOns rented LOnas
Hall. having a Perkins aud Dr.
Rice 10 speak, and two brass bands
on the ground. Failing to get an
audience they drove their bands IN
front of tue hotel where Gov.
Foraker was stopping and there
began their harangues and miser-
able music. GOV. Foraker was
conducted to the school house hall
and there spoke to hundreds OF
good citizens Disguised with bour-
bon meanness.
But this is not all. Mt. Jackson
was filed with bills headed "Fora-
kerr purporting to give a record
for that gentleman. No name was
given as to the authorship. Gov.
Foraker was handed one of these
bills and when he exposed the false
hood in its entirety and told his
vast audience that Ohio republi-
cans nor Ohio democrats would
treat any Virginian in that way he
received such applause as shook
the building and brought not a few
gentlemen into the ranks OF the
party whose cause he spoke for.
The speech was superb and its
effect tremendous. BourbOnism
added to the effect by the opportu'
nifty it gave for an exposure of its
low practices.

WHY DEMOCRACY SPLITS.
New York Tribune.1

1t is the opinion Of the veteran
editor ofThe Stats Zeitung that
the Democratic party must go to
pieces during Mr.. Cleyeland's term.
However much be desires the prev
alence OF the principles which
have been in times past identified
with the Democratic party, he be-
licvcs that party must go to wreck,
mainly because Of the earnest pur.
pose Of many Democrats to adhere
70 those principles. This confirms
the position which the Replbli-
cans have constantly taken, that
the Democrats succeeded in elect
ing Mr.. Cleveland by false preten.
ces. They pretended to desire one
thing here and another there; one
thing in Pennsylvania and anoth-
er in Kentucky; one thing among
the ward workers in this and every
town, and another thing, in the
parlOrs where Reformers were as.
sembled. The party pledged itself
to impossibilities. 1t pledged itself
to reward party services, and not
to reward party services. 1t pledg.

Trade. 1t pledged itself to meet

ment. The party cannot escape the
consequences Of the falsehoOds to
which it resOrted in order to get
Office.
The Democratic party has no
bond of sincere belief. 1t consists
of warning factions held together
by the cohesive power OF a common

President cannot appoint every.
body. When he appoints anybody,
ten others are disguised, and feel
that the administration is a disap.
pOintment, for it fails to meet the |
only patriotic aspiration of which
they are capable. Neither can the !
President treat all factions alike. |
Thompson, for example, had power

others who support him do so only |
because their faction would lose

Meanwhile, beyond a doubt a clear
majority of the Democratic voters
Il this state would be glad to see

The immediate edect ought to be

JOSH BILLINGS.
Death Of the Noted Humorist-Sketch
of his Life.

Death Of the Noted dumorlsI- oheICii
of his Life.
Henry W. Shaw, the humorIsi,
known to the literary world as Josh
Billings, died at Monterey, CAL, the
Other morning, from a stroke OF
apoplexy. The body was embalm'
ed and sent East. Mr.. Shaw was
sixty.hve years old, having been
born in Lanesborough, Berkshire
county, Mass, in 1920. He resld J.
ed in his native town until he had
reached the age of fourteen, when
he went West and for several years
lead a frontier life, being engaged
i'm the various occupations OF steer
ing steam boats, keeping a country
store, and acting as auctlonecr IN
the small Western towns and cities.
Finally, becoming weary OF this r.
regular life, and being DESTROYS OF
giving his daughters a bcttereduca'
ton than the limited facilities IN
the West at that time afforded, Mr..
Shaw in 1865 removed to Pough-
keepsie, n. Y, and devoted himself
to editing a shall paper. 1t was
while engaged in this work that
he wrote the first humorous article
which attracted attention, prlncl-
pally by its phonetic spelling. lie
called it 'Essa Oh the Muel. 1t
was extensively copied, and the
name of Josh Billings soon became
known throughout the land. From
that time until his death his career
was one of continual financial sue
cess. One weekly paper alone in
New York paid him 500 a week
for a half column of matter, and
his lectures brought him in a large
and steady revenue. In 1913 ne
began the publication of his 'Far-
:aers' Almanac book which IN
its second year had sale of l2L.
900 copies, and in ten years had
Melted the author and publisher
$4,000 each. Mr.. Sbaw's humor,
saws a New York paper, was hid
den in, and did not consist in mere |
phonetic spelling, aud underneath
the bad spelling of his proverbs
and aphorisms there is at times
depth of wisdom and philosophy |
which entities him to a higher
place in the world of letters than
that of a simple humorist. Hewas
a thoroughly domestic man, fond
of his home and his family, and IN
his daily life shSwed none Of that
ecceutrlcity which his writings
would induce the reader to attribute
TO him. He wore his hair long,
not from literary ailectation, but
to hide physical defect.

An important conference has
Just been held in Boston between
the representatives Ofthe principal
New England colleges and the
principals of the most prominent
intermediate schools, with the OBJ
jeot Of making uniform the stand
ard Of requirements for admission
TO college. The theory has been
that the Harvard standard for ad-
mission was adopted by all the col
lcges, but this understanding does
not seem to have worked in prac-
tice. Some of the lesser colleges
admitted students who had not
reached that standard, and they
justified their action by the plea
that in the disOrganized state OF in
termediate education it was not
possible to secure students who
were sufficiently advanced. To
meet this difficulty the meeting was
called, and it organized an asSocia-
ton of both the schools and the
colleges throughout New England.
The need OF such an association
in the Middle States is even greater
than in New England. Here there
is no college that holds the COM
mandlng position occupied by
Harvard In New England. The
primacy is Gin commission" being
divided between Columbia, Prince
ton and the University Of Pennsyl-
Sania. There has been no attempt
ut an understanding even among
the colleges as to common stand
ard of admission, and such agree
ment is the result partly Of tradition
aud partly of competition. And the
competition has worked very badly,
for it has tended to keep down the
standard. No college can afford
10 ask more than is asked by all,
for if il does it will lose students.
Thus the University, by asking a
small amount of French or German
for admission to the Freshman
class, drove some students away
from It's doors, and they went to
rival colleges. 1t is not merely
that the students themselves or
their parents wish to get admission
t. college on the lowest terms.
There is a very considerable num-
Der Of our schools whose masters
resent the addition Of anything to
what is already requiRd, and who
will send their boys to the college
that asks the least of them. AS our
intermediate schools are purely
commercial enterprises, whose ex-
penses are increased by any add
ton to the requirements, it is not
surprising that they resist any at
tempt to raise the standard.

Twice saved from Death.

a Birmingham (Ala.) special says;
This morning at O'Clock. when the
east-bOund passenger train OH the Ala
bama Great Southern road reached At
ITALIA, fifty miles above birmingham, the
engineer received orders to wait at
Reece station, few miles above, for
the west-bound train. IL is supposed
that the engineer went to sleep, as his
train went laundering by the sta
ton at full speed, and when mile
above collided with the west-bound
train, which was crowded with
passengers to the New Orleans
Exposition. Both the engines, the
baggage and express-cars were badly
wrecked, but no lives were lost. and
only one man, fireman, was seriously
hurt. Several passengers were pain
fully bruised. The west-bound train
proceeded toward Birmingham. but
within ten miles of the city was tagged
by two men waving danger-signals.
When the train was checked it was
within few feet Of a badly"broken
rail, which would undoubtedly have
thrown it down high embankmcnt.

Dennis Concerning the Peanut Crop Diph-

correspondence fthe Richmond Dispatch.l
NORFOLK, March Q, 1885.
IL is believed by some Of the peanut
dealers here that the price Of peanuts
will advance in short time. The
opinion is based on the extremely low
prices, now below the cost Of production,
the small stock on hand. the large guam
tity which have gone into consumption
and the prospective decreased average for
the next crop. The stock on hand in
this city now is about 81, 900 bags as
against $4,000 bags for the same time
last year, and this in spite of the fact
that the late crop was some p per
cent. larger than the crop of the year
before. A prominent dealer remarked
this morning that he did not believe
1000 bags of nuts could be bought in
this market without running the
prices up. He mentions the fact also
that the North Carolina people will not
plant largely again. Some Of them, he
says. made phenomenal crcps of one
hundred bushels to the acre, but others
and the majority of them failed so sig
nally that they will not attempt to
raise another crop. All things con-
sidered, he believes the price will ad-
vance to five cents in the early future.
Scarlet-feyer and pneumonia are pre-
yailing to an alarming extent in this
city among the children, and there is
no sort of doubt that scarlet-feyer has
now become an epidemic. 1t is learned
this morning that Captain James W.
McCarrick. Of the Clyde Line, has five
children sick with this disease. For
tunately, however, the cases are in
most instances mild, and the mortality
has not been great as compared with
the large number of cases.
Captain II. A. Bourne, superin-
tendent Of the Old Dominion Steamship
Company, passed through the city this
morning on his way to North Carolina.
