Well-Known Republican Politician
Comes to Grief.

LYNCHBURG, VA, December 9.-GeOrge
II. Southall postal clerk on the western
division Of the Norfolk and Western rail
road, was arrested here to-day by Postof-
fce-Inspectors Smith and Troy for rob
bing the mails. He confessed his guilt,
and was sent to Jail in default of $4,000
bail.
Southall has been prominent factor in
Republican parties in the Fourth or
Petersburg district for many years, and
was appointed to the position Of postal
clerk under Grants first administration.
He served as a member of the celebrated
Underwood Convention, and also repre-
sented his county (Nottoway) in the Leg

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, August 25.-The striking sentence
of Plunket's speech last night deserves atten-
ton by itself he said the tories and union
lists are linked together for the purpose of main-
tanning the union of parliament of England
and ireland. Curiousy all the liberal papers
print the word in the singular while the con-
servative papers let Plunkets plural stand.
This may be the first delicate hint Of a con-
servative right-about face. Parnell produced q
strong impression by the moderate tone, COM
b1ned with the vigorous opinions OF his speech,
last night. The glst OF it was that the Irish
people would not be bamboozled into accepting
crumbs In the way of harbors of refuge, fishery
piers and artificial attempts to stimulate Irish
manufacture in place of their birthright of
national selfgovernment. What Irish people
wanted, he said, was to help themselves IAN un-
Intentional bull, which created much laughter)
The commons last night witnessed one of the
most miserable attempts to jockey political
opponent seen for many years. Churchilrs s
latest trick in an unconstitutional way L de-
on his initiative, did not produce policy until
after the queens speech. Gladstone having
spoken on this lost the right to speak again on
the subject. Some debate on the governments
policy being afterwards introduced, Gladstone
naturally desired last night to refer TO it. While
speaking on Parnell's amendment, Churchill
rose to point of order, and the speaker was
compelled TO support him on technical grounds
The liberal and Parnellite sides OF the house
were highly indignant at these contemplate
speakers ruling, threw himself on the indul-
gence OF the house.

stricken district. The counties are Callahan,
Coleman, Eastland, Stephens, Young and parts
of Brown and Jack. The people are not starv-
ing now, but will be in a very short time unless
aided. The farmers are now ready TO plow for
wheat if they knew they could get seed. They
if this is not done there will be hegira from
all the counties mentioned, and the improve.
ment by them will be lost. They have the land,
they have the teams and the inplements-all
they ask is seed and breadstuffs and little
bacon on which to live. The people ask that
them, and when able they will return the same
or pay for il.
