FORTUNE AT THE FLooD.-Millionaire
Flood is dying and the news recalls the
following bit of history of 40" Fair
and Macksy went to work in Washoe, as
the Comstock camp was first called, the
one as a foreman aud the other as a
laboring miner They had. only their
wages to depend upon. Flood and
O'Brien were keeping whisky saloon
The saloon keepers were thrifty and
sapacious, while the two miners were
industrious and determined. In the
course Of ten years the mining men were
at $500 per month each,
and by cautions ventures had accumula-
ted some means. The existence Of great
deposits in the California and Consoli-
dated Virginia mines was known TO fair
and Mackay long before the public had
any idea thereof. Flood and O'Brien
were the business friends Of the two
miners. In some way the share market
was broken down, and the holders OF
stock in the mines named were made
anxious to sell.

THE NATIONAL ISSUE.

The local politics OF Virginia may MOI
be craftsmanship, but 1t means safety
and self-preservation. The North mas
not vet acknowledged the idea That we
are one people and we have to look out
for ourselves according TO the law
There is no longer any "Ku klux, and
we do not believe that the mass OF inc
Northern people take any stock in The
Southern "scalawag' who hypoihcea'es
abuse of his own home for profit with lis
enemies. The dav Of the scalawag Is
passed, and the people OF the North
know ths. the man who abuses his
own home is the synonym OF the con
tempt that comes from the best KNOW
edge Of himself.
The Democratic party evidently eN'
poets Virginia TO take care OF herself
and we must do it. Mr. Barnum and
bis committee have charge Of New ! ork,
New Jersey and Connecticut, with q
fighting chance in Indiana. They pro
nose TO let the Solid South take care oil
itself. That Is good idea, II 1t Will
work. But the fact is that the South
wins the election and the National Com
mittee does not help US.

The people evidently do not under
stand the tariff. They do not compre
bend that paying twice as much as is
necessary for clothes is tax. They
will not see that labor ought to have raw
materials free so that it can WORK on
equal terms with the rest of the world
In the course Of time all these things will
be plain, but for the present it is doubt
full if the issue Of the canvass will be
well understood low taxes and freedom
against high taxes and protection.
Therefore, we bring the question OF
Democracy home 10 the Southern people
and that is self-preservation oil ruin.
Remember the Danyille episode.

A snnrcc OF Courage.

There are, Of course. many degrees OF
courage, endless varieties in its mani
festations, but my own experience leads
me TO believe that this virtue IN man
follows the same natural laws as obtain
in the case Of horses and dogs. The bet
ter bred all three are the greater Will be
their innate pluck. In the well born
man, however, there is found another
element of the highest value. The man
proud Of brave father, or, still more,
Of long list Of brave progenitors, even
if fate has been 50 cruel as 70 give him
thin blood and timid disposition, will
feel bound to sustain what is commonly
called 1.-THE honor Of his name " The
struggle within him may possibly strain
every nerve, but his pride will conquer
his weak spirit, and in the hour Of trial
aye, even of appalling danger-will
enable him to play the part Of the hero,
and to play it WEXFORD Wolseley in

Disease Among Copper Workers.

A physician Of Birmingham, Eng,
who has spent long years in observation
Of what is known as ''braziers' disease"
or "brass workers ague," asserts that
the trouble is due to acute or chronic
copper poisoning. AlmoN all workers
in brass or copper soon begin to show
signs Of the disease. A green band APP
pears on the neck of the teeth, between
the crown and the gum, the edge Of the
gum itself becomes slightly blackened,
the perspiration has a greenish tinge,
and even the hair takes on a greenish
hue, signs all Indicating the absorption
of copper by the vorkmen. Where the
complaint is acute, dyspepsia, collie, and
nervousness SET in, and even deafness
and symptoms Of iocomotor ataxia have
been observed. -Chicago News.

"SwoRp AND Gown. We have pro-
posed that the Democrats in Congress
should take the senate Republicans at
their word, and adopt and pass the Sen
ate tariff bill, as the only Immediately
practicable measure of revenue Ieduc-

To do that would be TO follow Mr..
Cleyeland's own recommendation. "The
question:" said the Presiden', should
be approached in spirit higher than
partisanship, and considered In the light
of that regard for patriotic duty which
should characterize the action of those

THE TENTH DAY.

The Exposition enters on the tenth day
This morning, and the results are good
The character of the old agricultural
yearly fair has been sufficiently main
tanned TO satisfy the farming people, and
The display of the mechanic arts has
developed an interest that was almost
latent.
America is the country OF mechanical
genius If the politicians would only open
the markets of the world 10 us by abol-
ishing the protective tariff, and as soon
as a community begins TO nurture the
mechanical genius of the people it is
like striking the rock and making the
fountain flow. The Virginia people are
very slow, but they have the race
qualities OF the highest branch OF the
Anglo-Saxon family. When war or any
excitement calls them out they show
themselves equal to anybody. This is
an occasion to draw out the character
and enterprise of the people, and every
body should take interest enough in the
Exposition to make It part OF his own
business.
For when II is regarded in the proper
light it is the business of every man who
is good citizen.
Here we have beautiful city most
happily located for climate trade con-
nec,ions and railroad facilities
The thing needed is for the people OF
Richmond to proclaim their advantages
and make the world recognize them.
This is why we urge the Exposition peo-
nile TO advertise the show and get the
people TO come and see what we have.

We say again that Mr.. Blaine is the
best Democratic canvasser, and the FOL
lowing is the proof OF it
"Mr. Blaine has some notion OF THIS
doctrine, as he shows in his criticism OF

If the Sugar Trust would secure SUB,
stantial benefit from the Mills bill, should
II become law, then plainly here Is q
great trust dependent directly on tarif
legislation for its power and its proh's'

that 1t is, that the Democratic House
should favor the Sugar Trust in tarlh

publican Senate should favor the steel
Rail and the Iron and Steel Beam Trusts
In their tariff bill. We have ourselves
criticised the course Of the Ways and
Means Committee In the matter OF the
sugar duties. We have condemned 1t IN
no measured terms. If Mr. Blaine will
be equally candid and impartial; If he
will apply consistently the principal that
all tariff duties that aid trusts and COM
binations shall be reduced or repealed,
and if the Republican party in Congress
will follow him in this direction, tariff
reform is assured. We have no hope

The Virginia Democrats had better
look to themselves. The party is not
able to take care of them, and they must

A Northern paper very properly says
that the Confederate flag is simply a
relic, and adds 1--WE must say that in
this matter, as in some others, General
Sherman is hasty in his judgment and
unsound In his conclusions. When the
Pennsylvanians went to Richmond 1t was
to do honor TO the memory of General
Pickett He was a gallant soldier, and
served we'll the cause 10 which he was
devoted. 1t was the Confederate cause,
the cause of rebellion against the United
States, the attempt to divide the country
and establish different government for
the slaye-holding States. Everybody
who went to the monument celebration
knew all this"
