The Democratic Position.

Extract from speech of Hon f NJ. Sim,
mons in the House OF Representatives..
When it comes to me, as has now come
to me, to choose between cheap whisky
and cheaper food and clothes for the
masses of the people (Which also means
larger comforts and better educaton, do
not morality, humanity and sound policy
require that should make choice in favor
of the latter applause on the Demo
cratic side,)
In so choosing, the Democratic party
does not abate one iota its opposition to
the internal revenue system nor its fixed
determination to release the people from
its operation at the earliest possible mo-
ment.

Pritchard breaches the Wrong Doctrine
From Durham Tobacco Plant

From Durham Tobacco Plant
Hon. J. G. Pritchard Republican candi-
date for Lieutenant Governor, said in his
speech Saturday night that the protective
tariff built up Durham. The people of
Durham are not idiots, Mr.. Pritchard
They know that if anything besides pluck
and hard work built up Durham it was
the tobacco tax, part OF the internal
revenue, and they know, furthermore,
that the highest protected enterprise ever
started IN Durham, the Wooden and
Woolen Mills, protected by tariff tax of
about 70 to so per cent, BUSTED, and will
be sold at auction next Saturday. Fix
up another speech, Mr.. Pritchard, before
you come to Durham.

PETERsBUR0, VA, June I, 1888.
The commencement exercises OF the Vir-
ginIa Normal and Collegiate Institute, which
have been IN progress during the week, closed
to-day. Among the visitors present to-day
were his Exceiency Governor Lee. DR..
Buchanan, and other distinguished gentle.
men, with a number OF the prominent citi-
zens OF Petersburg. Brief addresses were
delivered by the Governor aud others, and
all who we're present expressed Themselves
as gratihed with the progress and culture OF
the students as we'll as with the general con-
diti0n OF the institution. There are now
more than $50 students in the school, a larger
number than ever before 20 late IN the ses-
sion. Everything Is now going on smoothly
and encOuragingly In the college.
The Democrats have decided not 10 have n
torchight procession in celebration OF their
recent grand victory. There has always been
difference Of opinion on The subject, many
maintaining that we should make n elaborate
demonstration or other show that might
cause any feeling among the defeated party.
The probability is, however, that barbecue
may be substituted.
The heavy rains OF the past few days have
done q great deal OF damage In this section.

quarters stand OF peanuts, and good deal
OF the cotton is dying from tue superabun-
dance OF water. The season has been I'M
favorable for planting tobacco also. The
streams everywhere are greatly swollen and
in many places overlooking their banks and
causing washouts.
A recent improvement on Lieutenant run,
in this city, made to str8iGhten the stream
and costing about $1,000, was yesterday
ruined by the freshet. The foundation OF
the new Third Baptist church, on Perry
street, has q depth OF three feet Of water In it.
The exports OF manufactured tobacco from
this city during the month OF Nay aggregated
40t, 403 pounds, and the internal-revenue
collections amounted TO S36,72l.
The exercises OF tho college to-day en-
braced music, orntions. essays, aud recita-
tions by students OF both sexes OF an order
so meritorious as to elicit both surprise and
praise. The addresses OF Governor Lee,
DR.. Buchanan. and Hon. Charles +. Collier
gave great satisfaction and were altogether
appropriate. Integrity, diligence, conf
dence. humanity, and pOliteDess were urged
as the principles forming the foundation Of
a successful and hOnOred life. The eXer-
cises closed with a concert tonight. There
was only one graduate, dissatisfaction
among the students having several months
ago caused the graduating class with this
exception TO leave the college.
Governor Lee this afternoon visited the
Central Lunatic Asylum.

Russia and India.

The fact that Russia's great Trauscaspian
railway has been opened TO ssmarcand IAN
cicnt Maracsnda), the once gorgeous capital
OF TAyERLANR. has cen made the text by
the foreign correspondents for another "scare
in EnRland.O Again has been raised the cry
that the RUSSIANS are at the gates OF Herat,
and that the English Government are
sorely pcrplexed regarding The outlook
on the Indian border. SALIsBUEY's
critics especially are taking advantage OF
the situation 10 lash him. The same cry OF
alarm was raised when the Transcaspian
railway reached Merv, which is much nearer
to Herat than IL Samarcand, and was re-
peated when IL was opened to Bokhara. and
yet Russia Is not upon the borders OF India.
In fact, the strategic railway business Is
game that two can play at, aud The ques-
ton naturally arises, What has the Indian
Government been doing in the matter oil
railway building while Russia has been
pushing her Asiatic line so rapidly?
A great deal, we snswe.-more, perhaps,
than the outside world has any knowledge
Of. During the year 1887 there were con-
slructed in India 1.02j miles OF railway,
forming part OF 1886 miles oil
new road projected and sanctioned.
In March Of that year the Bolan rail-
way to Quota and parts OF the
Scinde-Pishin road beyond Quota were
Joined and thrown open for traffic, aud
surveys had been made for continuation OF
the line into the heart OF Afghan territory.
BY this junction the Indian Government
was afforded facilities for placing supplies
for an army OF one hundred thousand men
within a hundred miles OF Candahar. How
much these facilities have been increased
and how much track has been added
TO the line siHcc March, 1887, we have no
means OF knowing. but all who are ac.
Quainted with DUrFEEIN's administration In
India will be satisfied that work has not
Jagged, and that while Russia has been adyer-
Using the progress Of her railway building
10 the world, India has been keeping her
achievements In that direction as quiet as
possible. 1t will not do to say that the COM
pletion OF the Transcaspian road to Sam
arcand will not be great thing for Russia.
The city containsa strong citadel and large
market-place and still enjoys considerable
trade. At one time It was the seat OF I'm.
portant manufactures, which 1t is claimed
can be renewed, and its location is
said TO be remarkably healthy aud espe.
cially well-adapted for garrison purposes
and as a basis for military operations.
The railway will therefore be OF value to Rus
sia both IN a military and q commercial point
OF view. But It ia none the less probable that
when she arrives with an army at the key to
India she will find British squares there to

AN INTOLERANT FDIToR.-The Alexandra
Gazette Is slways ready with proposition
to expel from the Democratic party the he
retcs who do not agree with that paper on
the various questions Of the day. It's latest
proscriptiye suggestion reads as follows:
"Why won't the people of the State elect
Legislature that will settle the State debt
IN the only way il can be settled--ou terms
satisfactory, or AT least acceptable. to the
creditors? Men pledged TO such . settle.
ment should be the only ones elected to the
next Legislature"
Men pledged to the MILLS bill are the only
ones whom tie Gazette would allow to be
elected to Congress, and men pledged TO pay
the State debt are the only ones whom 1t
would allow to be elected to the State Legs
lature. though there is not county In Vlr-
GINA la which such a mRn could be elected
to tho General Assembly. Twice as many
men could be elected pledged TO out aud.out
Reputation as could be elected upon the
Gaset.e's platform.
