VICTORY AT HAND.

Tho members of the National
Democratic Executive Committee,
after careful review of the condi
ton of the canvass in the several
States and prolonged consideration
OF the progress and requirements of
the campaign express themselves
completely satisfied with what has
been done, and confident that con.
tinued energy at Headquarters and
on the part of tho committees and as,
sociations of States, counties and
districts will be rewarded by great
Democratic triumph. The Demo
cratic party owes TO Senator Bar
mum, Colonel Brice and their associ
ates obligations and recognition for
most intelligent direction of this
campaign of intelligence. 1t remains
for every supporter of Cleveland and
Thurman to do his part in bringing
out every Democratic vote in his
neighborhood. Faith in success,
with persistent work until the last
hour, are the obligations that now
rest on every earnest supporter of
the good cause.-N. Y. Star.

On Tuesday Newark gave net

AN EXPERIENCE.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, June 27, 'SS.
The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga:
Gentlemen.-In 1884 friend of
mine contracted a terrible case of
blood poison, and at once sought
the advice of the best physicians.
Alter a four months tlial, with
feeling of greatest dependency, he
lett Chattanooga for Hot Springs,
where lie remained three months.
The treatment there did not seem
TO do him any good, and with il
crushed spirit and with death in its
worst form staring him in the face,
he came home. lie saw an adver.
tisement Of your medicine. AS his
friend l supplied him with the first
few bottles. was astonished at
the result. After the third bottle
the sores all disappeared, and his
recovery was rapid. In three
months he was hard at work, and
there has been no return of the dis.
ease. I withhold his name from
the public, but will send it in con.
fidence to any who write for it. I

THE PROSPECT.

The New York Times, independ.
ont Republican, says: AT meeting
of the Democratic National Commit.
tee yesterday all the members were
satisfied from the reports made to
them that Michigan is already sure
for Cleveland and Thurman. and that
ii tho current towards Democracy in
Illinois keeps flowing on at its pres
ent rate until election that State will
cast its vote for Cleveland and Thur
man, too. Michigan casts thirteen
electoral votes and Illinois twenty
two-enough, with Indiana added to
the 1872 votes which are conceded to
be sure fore Cleveland, to give the
Democracy the national election.
Every one of these gentlemen was
pleased with tho prospect of being
able to carry the national election
without New York. They have no
doubt that New York will go Demo
cratic, and will not relax an effort to
have it go not only Democratic, but
Democratic by large majority.

The attempt at illegitimate regis
tration of negro laborers along the
line of the Clinch Valley railroad,
has not only attracted notice and un
favorable comment here, but has
caused indignation in Henry and
other counties whence they ca,ue. A
gentleman writing from Arartinsville
has had his attention called to the
great number OF applications for
transfers received there from those
who have families residing in that
county. These men are entitled to
o vote, but at their own homes, and
not in Tazewell. If the Republicans
need these votes SO badly they should
pay the passage of the voters back
to their homes, and allow the Taze
we'll ballot to remain pure. Profess
sional politicians of the Republican
persuasion have already caused i'll
dignation here and it would seem to
be the polite thing to keep hands
OF this matter.

WHAT MAKES WAGES HIGH.

The rate of wages depends on
many factors, of which the most
Important are these Intelligence,
freedom and land. Germany has
intelligence, and common labor is
about forty cents day; the United
States has intelligence, freedom and
cheap land, and common labor
ranges from 80 cents to 81 so a day.
Mexico has the highest tariff of any
new country, and pays the lowest
wages; Russia has the highest in
Europe and pays the lowest wages:
China had the highest tariff in the
world for 1000 years and pays the
lowest wages. Wages can be in
creased in this country only by an
increase of intelligence and free
dom and q reduction of taxes and
monopolies.-Rockyille Qnd.) Tri.

Judge Thurman in his letter of
acceptance says: I'VE seek to reduce
taxes upon the necessuries of life;
our opponents seek to increase them.
We say give to the masses of the
people cheap and good clothing,
cheap blankets, cheap tools aud
cheap lumber. The Republicans, by
their platform and their leaders in
the Senate, by their proposed bill.
say increase the taxes on clothing
and blankets and thereby increase
the cost; maintain high duty on
the tools of the farmer and mechanic
and upon the lumber which they
need for the construction of their
modest dwellings, shops aud barns,
and thereby prevent their obtaining
these neccssaries at reasonable prices.

Walrus Hides.

"Wal1us Hide" was the announcement
that greeted New York WorM report
er's eyes, as he was taking his daily jour-
ney through downtown thoroughfare
recently. The sign was painted in black
letters on what appeared to be a large
piece of iron, terribly rusted. On closer
inspection, however, the reporter dis
covered that it was soft, like leather.
As the store was a hardware and
blacksmith's supply shop, the reporter
failed to see how the hide could be util.
lied, but the proprietor of the place ex-
planned that waIrus hide was used for
polishing all kinds of metal. When
properlv tanned, it has peculiar. tough
grain, and is used by brass and silver
finishers, cutlery and stove manufacturers
and nickel platers. Manufacturers OF
edged tools and agricultural implements
find this leather the best for polishing
purposes. 1t is also used with emery,
crocus, rotten and pumice stone for pol
ishing jewelry. 1t gives very fine
polish.
The hides weigh from so to 15O
pounds, and are from one to one and a
half inches thick. When sold by the
hide it brings $3.50 and So a pound,
but when cut into wheels it is worth
much more. Wheels range in size from
/! to 10 inches in diameter, and from 10
cents to $6 each in price.
The walrus is caught in the polar
regions, and walrus hides are tanned in
Europe.

The Prince Of Wal es Spanked.

The following, taken from paper
printed in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1874,
Is now going the rounds of the press:
Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, accom-
panied by the Prince Consort and the
royal children, visited Scotland for the
first time, and tarried long time on her
way at Balmoral. On the trip the yacht,
in which the people travelled by water,
called at Aberdeen, and, of course, the
loyal inhabitans of that city turned out
in large numbers to do honor to their
beloved sovereign. A guard of honor,
consisting of the merchants of the place,
was formed, and, in all the glory Of
black broadcloth and white kids,
paraded on the edge of the dock to
which the vessel moored at just sufficient
distance to prevent people from stepping
on board. Seats were erected on the
bank, tier above tier, like those of q
circus, to accommodate the thousands
that assembled to gaze on the spectacle
of an anointed Queen.
Her Majesty good naturedly remained
on deck to crafty as much rs possible
the curiosity OF the bonny Scots, and
promenaded about in full view of the
immense crowd. The Prince of Wales,
child of about five or six years, was
with her. Among other things placed
on the deck for the accommodation OF
the Queen was costly and very splendid
sofa, ornamented with tassels; and the
Prince, like other boys of that age, being
of destructive turn, began to pull at
one in manner that threatened to
detach it. His mother observed the act,
and ordered him to desist. He did so.
but as soon as her back was turned seized
the tassel again to give another jerk.
The Queen appeared to have expected
something of the kind, for she was at
that moment watching him from the
corner of her eye. In an instant she
turned, and seizing the luckless heir ap.
parent of England by the ''scruf of the
neck" elevated one of her feet upon the
sofa, hoisted the youugster over her
knee, adjusted him in the position
mutually familiar to parents and chill.
dren generally, when such ceremonies
are to be performed, and gave him
soand spanking.
1t may be proper to mention, en-
PEASANT, for the information OF youths
who sometimes find themselves similarly
circumstanced, that the illustrious
sufferer kicked and beloved under the
affective dispensation quite as Justify as
boys of lowlier birth are wont to do.
, The amazement with which the specta.
tors witnessed the example of royal
domestic discipline may be imagined,
but scarcely described in fitting terms.
A dead silence prevailed for moment,
but was suddenly broken by tremen-
dous roar of laughter, which could not
be suppressed by any thought of dec
Drum, respect for the Queen, or SYM
pathy for the victim of her dispeasure.
The explosion recalled the royal mother
to a sense of her position, and, having
turned toward the crowd for moment,
her face sufused with crimson, she
hastily descended into the cabin, and
was seen no more by the expectant
populace.
