Forewarned, Forearmed.

The Valley Virginian, the leading
organ Of the Republican party in Vir-
ginis, and one of whose editors is him
self the Republican candidate for Con-
gress in the Tenth district, speaks as
follows Of the Richmond district:
cit is believed that the Knights of
Labor will present candidate. If so,
the Republicans, in all probability,
will have no party candidate, but will
unite upon the nominee Of the Knights
on the tariff question, which will al
most certainly result in the defeat Of
Mr.. WISE"
Just so. The Knights Of Labor,
having thousand or two voters in their
ranks, are to be REINFORCED by the Re-
publican voters, making thirteen or
fourteen thousand. There were over
thirty thousand votes cast in this
district two years ago.
Will the Democrats among the Knights
of Labor allow themselves to be used
in that manner?

As Georgia has already received tie
money for her bonds, and pays the in.

ture to say that that State will not be
in the least degree Inconvenience nor
injured by the spiteful proceedings Of
Wall street. Nor will the bonds fall
in price. Even, however, if they do,
the bondholders, and not Georgia, will

What is the advantage to State OF

The Tariff.

Commenting upon an article which
appeared in this journal q day or two
ego, the Danyille Register says:
"If then high tariff costs the i'm
pscunious people of Virginia four
times or twice ss much as low tariff,
Why did the Dispatch at one time in-
sist that the people should pay the
highest rate of taxation to the Govern
ment and manufacturers when 1t had
already told them that 1t was utterly
impossible for them to pay interest on
the State debt Of more than three per
cent?"
II is news to us that we ever +" in
sisted Tor even sadly that the people
should pay the highest rate Of taxation
to the Government and manufacturers"
When was it?
Again: The Register says:
"But we promised to avoid contro-
yersy, and do so the more willingly be-
cause the Dispatch does not demand as
high tariff now as it did some months
past"
That sentence also surprises US. Will
our Danville contemporary inform US
upon what this statement is based?

The Anti.saloon Movement.


What is the snti-saloon movement, Of
which mention was made in an article
in our issue of Friday? We have for
some time been endeavoriDg to ascer-
tain Just what lies at the foundation of
the movement, and feel justified in say
inc that IL is an attempt Of the Blainsites
to keep the Republican party from
being weakened by deserters to the
Prohibition party. II is q compromise
measure which the Blaineites offer to
the Prohibitionists. But the Pro-
hibitiopists do not seem to see the de-
sirable features CT the proposition.
Mr.. BLAINE said in his Sebago Lake
speech that in Maine the Republican
party was a Prohibition party. He is
certainly the leader Of the Republican
party Of that State, and, as we have
heretofore said, may claim in 1888 that
he is the proper man for the Prohibi-
tionists everywhere to support for
President Of the United States. He
does not propose, however, to go ahead
Of his party. lie will await its move.
ments, ready to mount the Prohibition
platform if two years hence that plat
form shall seem to be one upon which
he and his followers could safely stand.
In the mean time the BLAINE lead
srs are attempting q flank movement.
They claim that reforms must be &C
complished by one or the other Of the
great parties, and that the Republican
party is the one to which all good tenn
perance-men should acknowledge ALE
glance. They propose to commit the
Republican party to an anti-saloon
movement now, and to absolute pro-
hibition at the proper time. To use
their own words, they propose that the
Republican party shall now "adopt
and enforce measures for the restric-
ton, and at the earliest possible me-
ment for the prohibition, of the liquor
traffic."
General CONWAY, who is one Of the
leaders Of this movement in New York
State, will be remembered here as one
of the northern emissaries who visited
this city soon after the war between
the States ended, and made speeches
on the Capitol Square to crowds Of ex-
cited, ignorant negroes. He after
wards went to Louisiana, and was
there as elsewhere noted for his "psr-
nicious activity" in any sort Of mis-
chief, not to say deviltry, that was at
the moment uppermost in the minds of
his associates in wrong-doing. We
ought to add that though General Con-
WAY protested in the Binghamton
Convention OF this week to be an out.
snd-out Prohibitionist, the New York
Voice, the national organ Of the Prohi-
bition party, denounces him as wolf
in sleeps clothing. He is tool of
BLAINE's, no doubt.
Next Thursday National Conven-
ton Of the Anti.Saloonists will be held
In Chicago. 1t will be Republican
or BLAINE Convention in disguise.

Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch
GLOUCESTER @. H., VA. !
September 8, 1886.
Several years ago the Gloucester
Monumental Association was incor-
porated by legislative enactment for the
purpose of erecting q monument to the
memory Of The soldiers from this
county who lost their lives in the Con-
federate service, and to-day had been
appointed for reiinion of the veterans
preparatory to beginning the work on
the monument. The Ladies' Commit.
tee of the Association provided a
sumptuous dinner-ice.cream, lemon
ade, &c. The Association had pre-
pared seven tasty flags lone for each
company from the county, purely
white, with deep black borders aud the
company and regiment stamped there
on. When the old soldiers assembled,
each company under the proper flag, it
was sad to see the havoc time had
made since the fateful days of 'G5.
Men who were boys then are now in
the meridian Of life 4; men then in the
meridian Of life are aged now aud
alas how many are gone never more
to assemble at the call OF drum or
bugle
Major Baker P. Lee. Of Warwick
county, was the orator of the occasion,
and he delivered chaste, eloquent,
and ornate address, calling upon his
fellow-veterans, while cherishipg with
an updying love and veneration the
memories Of the heroes who fell for the
defence of home and freside, to arouse
themselves to meet the issues Of the
present and bend every energy to place
the beloved mother in the forefront in
the march Of progress.
Governor Lee, who graced the occa-
sion with his presence, made beauti-
full speech-just what all who know
him would expect from "eur Fitz."
How the hearts Of old soldiers swelled
as they beheld him whose waving
plume and flashing sabre they fol-
lowed in other days. While the Gov.
ernor was speaking an old cavalryman
remarked: "Who was it that said
Fitz could not speak,"
Hon. Thomas Croxton, who was dis.
covered in the audience, was called out
and made very happy little address.
The speakers were very happily intro
duced by the president Of the Associa-
ton, General William Il. Taliaferro,
who presided over the meeting. The
exercises were opened with prayer by
the ex-chaplain Of the Twenty-sixth
regiment of Virginia infantry, the Rev.
W. E. Watt, who offered up bsaut-
full and pathetic prayer. The veterans
were under the command Of Colonel
William L. Robins and Lieutenant
Colonel William X. Perrin.
Special thanks are due to the noble
women who have contributed so much
to make the erecting of the monument
a cuncaao MU.

The recent activity Of earthquakes,

the fragments of stones Of all kinds

even the clay itself, which never Al

Of it's familiarity to US, are eloquent
