Just before the vote on the last
Morrison bill was taken Smith VI,
Weed, a prominent PrOtectiOnist
Democrat, remarked: "Some Ofthe
arguments made in the House in
trying to take up Mr.. Morrison's
measure have seemed to me so ut
terly foolish and absurd that !
could hardly make myself believe
that they had been seriously offer
ed by any man. This Kentucky
man, Breckinridge, for instance,
said that there are million men
out of work in this country who
would be set 20 work Immediately
by letting in foreign manufactured
goods free Of duty. Just how the
letting in of these goods, which
would stop work in all the factories
in this country, could set at work
this million men he did not explain.
! can explain it for him. They
would be set to work digging roots
for food and cutting sassafras bark
for tea. That is the way Free Trade
would catch the workman in this
country"

support, without exposing himself
to the suspicion of corruption, and
we call on every honest man to
withdraw his subscription and his
advertisement from the infamous
Washington Post, the betral er Of
its party and its country.
II is but just to say that Mr..
Glover, who, as we write, is still
absent from the city, has neither
suggested nor seen this exposure,
nor does he know that it will
appear.
The above is reproduced in the
HERALD in order that the people
of Senator RIddleberger's home
may know the true character Of
the man whose papers have been
libelllng him since he first appear
ed in the Senate. IIutchins plays
the same role in Washington that
he did IN ST. LOuis and any Sena-
tor or member who does not take
kindly to his jobs is marked for
falsehood and abuse. Senator Rid
dlebergerknocked the Ship Railway
Appropriation Of thirty.seyen mil
lions into a cooked hat, and the
Post came out with its editorial
columns filed with the most sour
rilous abuse that ever appeared in
a journal in Washington. To this
Senator Riddleberger replied in the
Senate "that a man who buried his
second wife while his first was liv-
ing d; or the son who defended his
mother against his fathers wrongs
and then betrayed and abandoned
the mother for the father, could not
iniure him with the people among
whom he lived.p
Subsequently Hutcbins sent f.
John Ellis, of Louisiana, to Senator
Riddleberger asking tor an adjust
ment OF differences, stating that
the editor who wrote the articles
referred to had been discharged by
lIutchins for doing so, and that he
had even relieved his son from con.
troll of his paper. The proposition
was respectfully declined. Since
then it has been definitely ascer-
tanned that the UNANIMOUSLY false re-
port about the circus here was con.
cOcted in the office of the Post. A
fortnight ago Senator Riddleber-
ger "by request as appears from
the Record, introduced some five or
six bills having the Record to
state as follows: 4" | desire it
specifically noted that | present
the foregoing bills by request"
This the Post ignored nOtwith-
standing it appears along with
the bills, and this same Post APP.
peared next morning with another
editorial characteristic of a press
scavenger likening Senator Grid
dleberger's record to that of"Jones
of Florida
Other references could be made,
hut these are enough to Justify us
in giving our people an insight in
to the character of the head devil
of the Post.
In a future issue OF the HERALD
we shall reproduce the contents of
a pamphlet containing a fuller ac-
count of this mans career, and also
another from a paper still in exist
ence in Washington. We shall al
so show up how a democratic and a
republican paper Of Washington
are run very much under the same
proprletorship in the business of
J iObbcry.

TEN MEN BLOWN TO ATOMS.

Ten men we're blown almost 70 AZ
oms by nitro.glycerine explosion
at the Atlantic Dynamite Works,
near Drakesville, N. j., Friday
morning. The explosion was one
Of the most terrible in the history
Of accidents.
No one who WAS IN the building
where the explosion occurred lived
to tell how twas brought about.
Red and charred fragments ofLhelr
bodies were all that could be found.
OF ten young and strong men, 10
pounds OF bloody anG bruised flesh
was all that remained. A heap Of
powdered wood and small bits OF
twisted metal are the remnants OF
the building which sheltered the
terrible explosive. Six widows and
sixteen orphaned children who
had parted with husbands and
fathers in the morning are now
weeping over the dead. The pieces
of flesh and bone were not, however,
shown to the families there was
no need. Recognition had been
rendered impossible. Not even a
thread of clothing could be found
by which naturalization might
have been possible. 1t had all been
consumed.
After the explosion the labor of
searching for the remains was be-
gun. Up in tree-tops trunks OF
human bodies and pieces of limbs
were seen hanging, and ladders
were brought to take them down.
The birch and elder wood and the
long grass were closely scanned,
and fingers and small portions OF
flesh were picked up until l5O
pounds were recovered. The re-
mains we're placed in tin fire buck
cts and piled in a corner OF the
packing house. The CHASTITY search
lasted most Of the day.. y. Star.

Meeting Of The Republican State Committee

A meeting OF the Republican
State Central Committee, to which
the Chairmen of the County Com
mittee had been invited, was held
in Washington, on the Goth nit.
General Malone presided, and
after a full, free, and satisfactory
interchange Of opinion the course
Of the Republicans in the various
districts as to the approaching
campaign was agreed upon.
It was thought best to call con-
yentions to nominate candidates in
the First, Second, Fourth, Ninth
and Tenth districts, which, upon a
full and fair vote, are all thought
to be Republican.
I'm the Third and Fifth districts,
the action Of the party in regard to
nominating candidates was post
poned for future consideration, and
the matter left to the Congresslon-
al Committees in said districts af-
ter consultation with the State En-
ecutive Committee.
In the Seventh, Sixth and Eighth
districts it was determined that IT
would be highly inexpedient torun
any candidates. This action seem
ed to meet with the approval OF
every member OF the Committee
present.
The proceedings Of the meeting
were altogether harmonious, and
good reports concerning the state
Of our party were received from all
parts Of the State.
The general impression was that
Va. would have at least five Rcpub-
lican members in the next House of
Representatives.

THE BLAIR BILL,

This measure has met its death in
the Democratic House of Represen-
tatiyes. We wished and hoped
that the bill would pass. We say
this in good faith, although the
failure to pass this bill Repubh-
canizes Virginia and the greater
portion of the South, in our humble
judgment No measure has been
presented to Congress for years of
SO much Importance to the people
Of the whole county. Ii would
Distribute the surplus money in the
treasury in educating the children
of the country. We would thus
get some money in circulation and
instead drumming our schools thru
four or five months in a yea 70
could run them nearly twic as
long. We have been told lvdich
perhaps is true, that there are
many millions OF dollars locked mp
in the treasury lying idle with no
chance to put the same in circula-
ton. This measure would put the
surplus i'm circulation aud the most
of it I'm the South. But this meas
ure has met its death for the pres
emit. But u is not dead. The Re
publicans are going to have the
next House Of Representatives, and
then they will pass the bill and
Join with the Senate in giving this
much needed aid to our people.
There are men in the South who
have constitutional scruples' as
they call them, with regard TO this
bill. These men had no "constitu-
tional scruplcs" when the question
of secession came up; they had no
constitutional scrnples' when the
question rs to the appropriation Of
money under the River and llar-
Dor Bill but just as soon as a
measure is proposed that VIII aid
in educating the illiterate children
of our country, these same men
hold mp their hands in holy horror
and warn the people that they
must guard the constitution and
the Liberties of the people, for fear
that the appropriation of money by
the general government will over
throw Our liberties. Away with
such pretences : Away with such
hypocricy
The truth of it's, this is a benih-
cent, noble effort to aid our people
in educating the rising generation
and the Democratic House have
simply murdered the bill. They
did this either because they were
opposed to having the people edu-
Gated or they feared if they passed
the bill, President Cleveland would
veto it, and thus the Democratic
party would be injured. 1t mat
ters not what their views or Tea-
sons were and are, their failure to
pass the bill is a shame and a dis.
grace upon their Congress, and
sounds the death knell Of the Demo
cratic party. Give us 4 Republi-
can House anil trc lrW pass The bW.
If Cleveland vetocs and if cannot
be passed over his veto, the acrt
President 'cW approve it. The
people want this bill passed, and
they intend that it shall he passed.
Sooner or later this relief will come.
No power can prevent it.-BIoRd

It is not unlikely that Congress
will get tired Of doing nothing be-
fore the close Of the present month
and wind mp its session. The sum-
mer heat will give the members an
excuse for doing something which
considerations Of economy ought
to have induced them to do long
ago. During the past week some
OF the necessary legislation was
finally contaminated, and the little
that remains can easily be disposed
of in week or so.
