A PORTION OF THE EASTERN LUNATIC
ASYLUM BURNED.-On last Sunday night
large portion of the Eastern Lunatic
Asylum at Williamsburg was burned,
caused by some trouble with the electric
light wires The loss is estimated at from
$3.50, to $4,000 Insurance about
$4,000. The buildings burned comprise
the original ones of the Institution erected
over hundred years ago. The bnrnt dis
trict covers three or four acres. The
handsomest and newest buildings we're
saved. The buildings burned contained
about 200 patients, but they we're rescued.
Mrs. Jefreys, after being brought out of
the building, wandered away and was
found next morning drowned in a creek
near by. All of the female patients were
taken to William and Mary College, where
they were temporarily cared for. Other
wards contained nearly three hundred male
patients. These wards were quickly
emptied and the unforturates were turned
loose, but did not wander of, being gene

A PRoDIGIoUs STRIKE.-There is great
strike now in progress in towns of Penn
sylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois,
and Missouri. The iron-works in those
places have ''shut down." and vast num-
bers of workmen are idle. Fortunately
the season disarms the movement of some
of it's terrors for the laboring people en-
gagged in it; but even with summer skies
over their heads they must suffer great
deal. The meaning of ''strik Sa IN this
country never seNrHs ~ present itself to
those WfH Gfganize them. They never get

italists. They concentrate in resistance to
some per cent of reduction in wages,
when, in point Of fact, the so-called pro-
tective laws are at the bottom of the
whole trouble. Protection has served its
turn. Cheap labor is imported to compete
with native, and over-production brings in
it's train the evils which are complained of.
There can be no health in manufactures
until the tariff is revised, and the working
man will get no relief until he concentrates
on this subject, with the determination to

them against defending criminals or pub

in Bedford, under penalty of like fate.

to be members of the mob that lynched

A MATTER OF FAcT.-In speaking of
the Norfolk victory Washington news
paper says: ''Many of the negroes are said
to have voted the Democratic ticket" This
is an absolute fact. Many voted the ticket
open and face up. Then, too, goodly
number are applying, as Democrats, for
minor offices, and there is no shadow of
doubt in any candid mind that the grip
with which Malone once held them has
been loosened, if not broken. Large num-
bers of respectable negroes have grown
tired of being hewers of wood and drawers
of water for small "bosses,' and there is
no peradventure about the fact that many
colored voters cast in their ballots with the
Democrats. The indications, furthermore,
are that the bond which held them as
solid mass is broken; but, all the same, we
should press forward with our organization
for the fall campaign. Norfolk Landmark.
