David S. PIERCE, of Wythe, and S. w.
Williams, of Bland. The attitude of
Democracy toward tariff legislation was
frankly and clearly set forth by both
gentlemen, and the very frequent indi-
cations of approval from the large audi
ence showed that the economic ques-
tions now under discussion had been

were just about persuaded that if all

The KNIGHTS SAID TO BE GOING TO
PIECEs.-The Chicago Times says: The
disintegration of the Knights of Labor
in this vicinity is going on at a rapid
rate. Ever since the great rebellion
was started, after the annual conven-
ton last October, the desertions have
been continuous. The "rebelsn have
not succeeded in getting great many
Knights to join the new provisional or
ganization. The whole number of per-
sons paying taxes to the Provisional
Committee is now about 10000 1t is a
pretty large number, but nothing as
compared to the number Of those who
have been induced by the rebellion
more than by anything else to leave
the Knights of Labor altogether, and
either give up labor organizations or
to join II trades union or the American
Federation of Labor.

IMMORTALITY.

Welcome the tribute sometimes Fortune steals
From youths exchequer to enrich old agel
What ample pension freely forth she deals
To gild with glory his gray equipage,
While DER Times track slow roll his chariot
wheels
Then heavens gate enter. He, his heritage
OF life receiving breaks the sacred seals
High privilege sole given to saint and sagel
Life We're but asnes, and one holocaust
If no fair future welcomed from its goal,
No gate swung open to admit us-lost
We're all conf panionship, and blank the soul
All, dead to al life holds and knows its own,
If Youth survive not and uphold its throne.

The plans of the saloon-keepers, of
Philadelphia who were refused licenses
and who intend to continue in business,
defying the authorities, were devel-
oped Sunday Many of them had their
saloons open for the sale of " soft
drinks" only, but these included a new
tonic called ambrOsia. Signs were dis
played directing the public to call foI
ambrosia, and those who did so OBJ,
tanned what appeared to be q very good
sample of bottled beer. OF course, an
analysis will be required to prove that
this is an alcoholic or malt beverage
the sale of which, without a license, il
prohibited, and then it may appear
again under a new name. The grea
majority of unlicensed saloons, how
ever, have been closed up definitely
and the licensed houses were all CLOSED

A SIBERIAN PRISON.

EH HE June number of the

W EIi the second of George Ken
XIII mans illustrated papers on
H8 Siberia and the Exile Sys-
li TEN, which are attracting
hH such wide attention. The
2zgA articles are being exten-
.<Es:: @>7SSSN sively copied into foreign
S555>z-, @la5S ~,Y papers, among others the
SalsA----'7 organ of the Russian lib
erals, published at Geneva, by whom they
are very highly commended.
In this June number Mr.. Kennan gives an
interesting account of his visit to the for
warding prison at Tiumen, where he found
double the number of prisoners confined
than there was room for. ~.
In reply to a question from Mr. Kennan
as to how many prisoners died during the
year, the warden replied:
about three hundred. We have an cpl
demic of typhus almost every fall. A
prison so Overcrowded can not be kept
clean, and as for the air in the cells, you
know now what it is like. The local author
tiles here have again and again urged the
! Government to make adequate provision
for the large number of exiles crowded in
to the prison during the season of naviga-
/ ton, but thus far nothing has been done be-
yond the building of two log barracks" n

/ Kennan says he found no criminals-au OF

| Punishment with their husbands. -.
