DEMOCRATS ar THE EXPOSITION.

The Exposition affords the opportun-
ity TO give the impetus to politics, that
we need in order to bring cut the vote
of the Democratic party all over the
State. 1t is useless to recite again the
reasons why We polled such a small ma
iority in the last Presidential year and
then lost the majority of the Congress
sional delegation. 1t is the old story Of
oyer.confidence and apathy owing to
the fact that the Virginia Democrats, un-
like their opponents, 60 into politics ac-
cording to the excitement that is evolved.
The people know well enough that their
safety and prosperity depend on the sue
cess of the Democracy, but they wait for
their neighbors to do the voting.
The present canvass involves a discus
sion of facts and figures by which the
voter is expected to attain a clear idea Of
the unjust system Of taxation on which
the protection tariff rests. But the aver
AGE voter will not take the trouble to
read about the tariff and the war taxes
in time of peace or the forty per cent
Fay on his clothes unless he is warmed
nm to certain pitch of excitement.
We feel quite certain that Cleveland
will be re elected, but it is probable that
Virginia will not be counted in the vic
,orious column unless the Democrats at
once take hold Of the task before them
Once before State fair afforded a
similar opportunity, and the coming
week affords another one that should not
no neglected. We have the muster roll
of the party all right but we want all the
visitors to the Exposition 10 be impressed
with the necessity of going home and
arousing their neighbors to the necessity
of organizing the party, or else many
Democratic voters will stay at home be
cause of some engagement, or because 1t
rains or because the roads are bad
Therefore the first thing is to arouse
the Virginia Democracy and get all the
voters TO talk about the important ques-
,ions of the canvass. First the Presi-
dency, which we must hold if we Go not
want to be relegated to carpet-bag rule
and Mahoneism. And second, the con-
oressional contest, which involves the
oossessiop of ten seats in Congress, Of
which we lost about three just by care
lessuess, APATHY" and "over-coni-
dence."

THE COLLINS HIT.

Mr.. Collins said many god things IN
his speech, but perhaps the best was his
charge that the Republicans had not
tried rebel for treason, but had taken
ANYTHING The rebels had as long Is politi-
cal rights could be stolen, and having
stolen all they could from the South,
finally stole the Presidency from the
whole country.
That one paragraph is enough to beat
the G. o. p when the piih OF 1t is well
understood
And what a farce 1t is when the Re
pLblicans after such performances pirate
of the country not being safe or suffrage
safe under the Democrats. The land
grabber party, the Star Route party, the
rotten navy party, the Hayes steal party
such are the names that II has been
called, and all of them applied with the
proofs attached.
But efIrontery still tries to face 1t out,
and the Republican party WIN the
tattoocd man at its head by grace
of bis superiority in impudence
and rascslity still affects patriotism
and virtue. If they have as much
doodle as monopoly and rings ought to
furnish this game will become more and
more desperate in the next thirty days,
and the sharp tricks and bold falsehoods
must be met with a simple show of the
record as to their character and plain
array of figures to contradict the pro
lection fallacy.
A great number of people will be de-
ceiyed, but that surplus revenue piled up
by war taxes in time of peace and fifty
millions burdened TO favor ten are facts
that proclaim a great wrong, and Ameri-
can common sense will see it every time
the truth is put plain enough.

4 Portable Electric Lamp.

While visiting friend the other even
ing he invited me to take a look over his
house. To my surprise he picked up an
electric lamp that was standing on the
table and started off up stairs with it in
his hand, the flexible insulating wire
connecting with the lamp trailing along
behind. On investigation | discovered
that he had the wire wound around
reel and that it was smoothly paying out
as he went along. He also had little
pulleys fastened to the doorways over
which he passed the wire as he turned
the corners. The lamp itself was mounted
on a standard like the standard of an oil
lamp, and the gentleman informed me
that he was in the habit OF taking it into
all parts Of the house. The device was a
novel one. and it suggests new possible
tiles for the electric light. Verify. the
lightning IS becoming very tame under
the mastership of modern genius
