railroad Meeting at Welaka.


The railroad meeting held at WeIaka,
as will be seen by consulting the pro-
ceedings published elsewhere. was, con
s;dering the weather, fairly we'll attended
by the busii ess men of that section,
and suitable acti6 n taken to forward the
movement. No doubt the citizens of
that section are in earnest in their efforts
for IA road. We understand that il is the
wish that the Tavares and Palatka Rail-
road cross the st. Johns and come to
this city on the east instead of the west
side of the river. Subscriptions will be
secured for that road and submitted to
the company for their consideration.
1t is good move, and if the Tavares
and Palatka road should decide finally
to follow the west side, the agitation of
the subject will result in good. Evil
IDENTIFY, if the Tavares and Palatka Com
Pany do not build that way some other
company viii. 1t IS the finest section
of the st. Johns, aiTording more trade
Immediately on the river than anywhere
else ontside of the cities, and should be
provided with railroad facilities.

Democrats Must Organize.

Elsewhere will be found brief but
earnest appeal from Chairman Forward
to the Democrats of this county to begin
at once the organization of clubs in each
precinct. We trust cur Democratic
friends will heed this appeal and at once
organize. IG is true, as Chairman For
ward says, that eloquence and planning
alone will not win success, but it must be
done by complete and general organiza-
ton. AS soon as clubs are organized a
complete enumeration of all Democratic
and Conservative voters should be made,
and every one, as far as possible, be in
duced to join the clubs. Good speakers
will he supplied as occasion requires, and
every facility provided for awakening a
loyal and determined enthusiasm among
all people for good government. The
success of the State and county depends
on Democratic. success, and no patriotic
citizen will fail to recognize this fact and
work and vote accordingly.
Our executive committee is composed
Of earnest and true Democrats, and will
leave nothing undone, as far as lies in
their power, tn secure honorable and en-
tire success this fall. But, in order to
win, they need the active and prompt CO.
operation of every Democrat i'll the
county. All conservative citizens should
be invited to join the clubs and attend
their meetings.

The English government is serious
ly considering the propriety Of open
ing an extensive system of public
works, in order to give employment
to distressed labor. Some years ago,
France inaugurated the same plan of
relief, and has been compelled by the
necessities of the situation to contin.
ue it. The solution of labor problems
in monarchical governments is a very
difficult undertaking. Carlyle called
it the "dismal science;" and dismal,
indeed, it has always proved to the
workingman.

be beyond the simple truth to say
that his case is hopeless. II certainly
is safe to say that many of his most

him out of his house alive again.
There seems to be little reason to
doubt that the seat of Arthur's
trouble is in the kidneys instead of
the liver. His friends say he is

dozen paper mills are situated on the
stream, received its first news Of the
accident when the food came flowing
down the streets, the water being from
four to six feet deep, and bringing
with it trees, portions Of houses, barns,
fences, wagons and every form of
movable property. The people fled
TO the slope Of the valley down which
the torrent was pouring, and saw hous-
es moved and toppled about like chips
on river. The fot.d rushed. past
East Lee and went on down the val
ley, destroying gardens, lawns, fences
and moving smaller buildings. It had
not power, however, to wreck utterly
the larger houses, though the damage
will amount to many thousands of dol
lars. As soon as possible, the people
went up the line Of the food toward
the pond, and found the river worse
as they approached the starting point
OF the torrent. Fortunately the track
OF the flood was in sparsely inhabited
country, but what destruction there
was for it to do in wrecking three or

besides property is lost. The explor-
ers have found the bodies of IL per-

CLEANED FROM THE MAIL.

Mrs. Dora Inez Sprague, whose romantic
marriage to ex-Gov. Sprague, of Rhode Island,
at the Virginia Hotel in Staunton, two or three
wears ago created such excitement, and who
is now living at Canonchet, the home of her
husband, is angry at some newspaper para
graphs which have represented her husband
as speaking kindly of Mrs. Kate Chase
Sprague, his former wife. She attributes
those paragraphs to the influence, if mot the
pen of Mrs. Kate S. Sprague, and says of
her: II have felt ever kindly towards her,
for her actions have given me the love of the
noblest and grandest of men, and would only
ask of her to hesitate ere she brings into con-
cection with hers name that belongs wholly
or entirely to another. I demand that she
does not refer to my husband in any form

which she ever had and will always command

he not been at the opening of the canvass

his services? Has any good cause public

him neutral or Indifferent? Let us all

BUMGARDNER AND THE BLAIR
BILL.

BUM6ARDNER AND THE BLAIR
.----~--"- ~',~ BILL.
Capt. Bumgardner holds substantially to
the same opinions with Mr.. Tucker1. He
does not believe in the constitutionality of the
Blair bill or protective tariff, yet it is as
sumed that he would vote for both, were he
in Congress. = Valley Firgintan.
If there has been any misapprehension
of Capt. Bumgardner's position on sfhe
Blair bill; any misunderstanding that
can be done away with by the plainest and
most unequivocal language of his own.
we invite careful reading of the follow
ing extract from his speech delivered at
Norwood in Nelson county last Friday.
the spot who writes to the Lynchburg
Ne,Us:
Captain Bumgardner stated that it had been
said that he was opposed to the Blair BILL
Says he, 81 have never made that statement,
and no one has authority to speak for me. I
do not think it comes in conflict with any of
the past utterances of the Democratic party.
Mr.. Tucker says it is not constitutional, but
majority of the constitutional lawyers of
this country say it is constitutional, snd
am willing to abide by the decision of the
majority. But this I do know: The Tenth
Congressional District has declared in favor
of the bill, and, when I go to Congress, as I
surely will, intend to do as I am directed by
my constituents, and will cote and aoork for
the Blair educational bill, and desire now to
say that the man who, in the future, says I
am opposed to the bill says what is absolutely
false" His views upon the labor question
gave general satisfaction to the workingmen
present. Capt. Bumgardner is close reasoner
and methodical speaker, and is making
votes all over the district.
This ought to eet at rest our cotempo-
rary's apprehension that, on the Blair
bill, Capt. Bumgardner holds the same
position with Mr.. Tucker.

1t is claimed by Republicans that that
party is the ''poor mans party" There
is something in that. 1t has had posses
sion of the national government for twen-
ty.fve years and when it let go, eighteen
months ago, there were more poor men
than had ever been known in the United
States before. 1t makes poor men. The
Republican party is the party of the Goulds
the Vanderbilts, the Fields, and the mil
lionaires of every quarter of the Union.
