FRIDAY............APRIL %, 1885,

The Dangerous Southern Outrage.
Senator HoAR constructs boom for
himself with the regularity Of the ad-
vent of the seasons, and with equal
regularity the Independent and the
Democratic papers Of New England
proceed to " squelch F" him. The
Senator evidently thinks that he must
break loose at stated periods or he will be
forgotten, and no doubt he is right. lie
is therefore excussble. Again: Hcis ex-
cusable on another ground. These little
episodes in the life OF. the Senator harm
none but himself and his party, and
afford considerable amusement. They
also show that be is not devoid OF
originality. The latest development of
the Senator's originality is found in
what is known as his southern
outrage bill "a bill providing
for inquests by United States circuit
courts in cases where persons have
been killed. seriously injured in per-
son or property, or threatened because
of political opinions. The genius dis
played by Senator IIOAR in construct
ing this boom is recognized generally;
but it has the defect Of most Of
his booms-it will not work.
Even the organs seem to under
stand that it is impracticable to
make it materialize into any great
amount of political capital. AS for
the independent papers, they appear to
think that it is built more on the prin-
ciple Of a boomerang than q boom.
The Boston Herald, for instance, after
citing the provisions Of the bill, says:
"This looks like a good enough
scheme to collect political capital, but
we are inclined to think that fair in
vestigation by judges would explode
more 'outrages' than it exploited for
the Republican party. As no legisla-
ton beyond this is contemplated, the
probability is, however, that the Law
would soon fall into condition Of
'innocuous deSuetude.' ="
Exactly. If there is any one thing
in which the back-acting force has
proved prominently disastrous to the
Republican party that thing is the
southern Outrage" 1t is gun
which, when touched off by an investi-
Cation, invariably explodes. If Sena-
tor HoAR entertains any doubt upon
that point let him go into secret session
with Brother JOHN SHERMAN aud get
the latter to unbosom himself regard
ing tie "Danyille outrage"

A card from Mr.. Allan.

RICHMOND, Va, April %, 1886.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Your issue Of yesterday, reporting
the speech Of Mr.. Meade Haskins, says
that in response to person in the
audience who made some allusion to
myself Mr.. Haskins replied, "If you
want to know something Of his record

Immediately upon reading the unkind
and covert remark | telegraphed to
Farmville for the following certified ex-
tract from the records of the County
Court. being the resolutions of the bar
and officers of the court when, three

In view Of the fact that Turkey could
crush the Grecian army in short order,
the continued warlike attitude Of Greece
cal be accounted for upon one hypo:he-
sis only--ihat is, that Russia is be-
hind Greece. Russia having refused to
unite with the Powers in forcing Greece
to relinquish the hostile stand she has
taken, it seems clear that the Car de-
sires war between Greece and Turkey
in order that an excuse may be found
for another Russian descent upon the

IL Does and Does Not.
Editor ofthe Disnatch /.

To the Editor of the Dispatch
Some truths are SO simple that great
minds can't stoop SO low as to see
them.
1t has been contended by prohibi.
tionists that it does prohibit, and by
temperance men that it does not.
Now, Mr. Editor, both are right.
1t does prohibit honest men, whilst
ii does not dishonest men.
Why such bitter controversy over
such 3 proposition?
Hope / don't intrude, as don't wish

Temperance Meeting In Matthews
County.


At meeting Of a portion of the tenn
perance element Of the county held at
Matthews Courthouse for the purpose
Of furthering the cause OF temperance
and to organize for the coming election,
on the 5th Of May next, for license or
DO license, w. X. Stoakes was elected
chairman and Oscar Hudgins secretary.
Rev. Z. NJ. Peterson, of the Methodist
Church was introduced, and discussed
the nature and character of the local
option bill, and met the objections raised
by the anti-local-optionists in a very
impressive and conclusive manner. Mr..
Peterson is fully alive to this work,
and is very able advocate Of the cause,
and will strike some telling blows in
the canvass, which will commence in
about a week.
Judge Garnett, in short but impress
sive address, announced himself in full
sympathy with the work, but his official
position as judge Of the County Court
debarred him from taking very active
part in the organization.
After the above addresses the bust
ness Of organizing was at once COM
menced. On motion, five white and two
coloIed responsible and prudent men
from each precinct were elected to be
at the polls and canvass during the
day Of election. On motion, commit
tee Of one from each precinct was elect
ed as section committee to make ap.
pointments for the speakers and to see
that notices were duly posted. Mr..
W. r. Stoakes was instructed to have
notices printed.
The county will be canyassed by such
able speakers as Rev. F. NJ. Edwards,
Rev. W. ii. Atwell, and Captain W.
G. Dutton, Of Portsmouth, and others,
commencing about a week before the
election.
We congratulate the citizens Of West
Point and Wytheyille upon their sue
cess. w. r. STOAKEs,
Chairman.
Oscar Hudgins, Secretary.

FARMvILLE, VA, April 22.-An
extensive fire occurred here at o'clock
this afternoon, resulting in the destruc.
ton Of large tobacco-factory known
as SCOTS and situated near the Ran
dolph House, four one-Story tenement
houses, and house for storage. James
Ii. Huntington, tobacconist, is the
greatest sufferer, having lost stock Of
leaf tobacco valued atabout 5000. lie
had an insurance of $4,000, divided
equally between the Liverpool and Lon
don and Globe, Virginia Fire aud Ma
zine, Virginia State, and Royal in.
surance companies. The factory had
an insurance Of $500 only, and was
owned by Mrs. j. A. Scott. Messrs.
o. Bugg & Son on storehouse aud stock
lose $500. Six or eight families were
rendered homeless. The fire had its
origin in a defective iiue, and seriously
threatened the entire town.

Reasonable PennsyIyauia View,

lfhllaceipnla Times.
As both political parties distinctly
pledged themselves in the resolutions
Of their National Conventions in 1884 to
aIevision Of the tariff and a reduction
Of unnecessary duties, i. ought to be
possible now to consider this subject
from broader point Of view than that
of mere partisanship. The response
bility for tariff legislation necessarily
falls upon the Democrats, for the rea-
son that they control the House Of Rep.
resentatives, in which all such legisla-
ton must originate. But the Republi.
cans are not less pledged to q reasonable
reduction, and for this reason the bill
just reported in the House should be
considered on its merits, and not merely
upheld or opposed in a narrow partisan
spirit.

The Nhiskey Strike. Alias Prohibi-

ton.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
You have had many commune atoms
from local-optionists and anti-local-
optionists. There is a third party who
demand 10 be heard. This new" Rich.
mond in the field is for sale. This new
party realizes the fact that this is the
time for it to strike and assert Itself.
There is an army Of people who do not
drink at all who would drink mode
rately but for the extortionate demands
Of the bar-keeper. This new third party
demand as their price that the bar
keepers shall reduce their prices--say
five cents for schooner" five cents
for a straight" and six cents
for a "United States mixed drink"
These figures are not meant to be arbi-
trary, and are simply suggested. Now,
If the liquor-men want to form an ALI
ance with this new party, let them at
once knock down their prices" other
wise they cannot get our votes; do
you near II iquor-dealers! We won@
der that you have not taken the cue
ere this. You should have sense enough
to see that all this hubbub about prohi-
bition is simply "a strike" against
your prices. The morality question
raised is only cloak. 1t is the pocket
and not the heart or head that has been
touched, and the expense of drinking is
the real issue with the people.
Now, gentlemen, come, be reasonable
and satisfied with less than fifty per
centum profit, and you carry the day
on the Goth of April. Lower your
prices, and the temperance people will
not afford you amusement on election
day. Will you do it? Don't all
speak at once. Excuse US for taking
advantage of the situation, but lit is
English " and human nature, "you
know" A STRIKER.

Miss Anna Eva Fay, who has achieved
recently such remarkable success In New

give religious Illustrated lecture at the

Enquirer, in speaking Of the entertainment,
says:
"bIiss Fay appeared In an elegant cos.
tune and proceeded with the business of
the evening In a self possessed and pleas
ant manner. The lady is the beau ideal Of
a medium, being of slight build, large eyes,
with blonde hair and nervous temperament.

parted spirits, she derives it from a store.

II there was nothing supernatural, then, at
least there is dexterity sublime. Doubt all
you please and say 1t was iugglery-perhaps
1t was jugglery-but 1t was done prettlly,
and in a way which the savants in pebble
glasses cannot explain. The cabinet busi-

demanded the severest tests, nevertheless
the lady did everything expected Of her In
the most perfect manner.n
