Prophetic Figures.

Some of the wisest and best of men have had
their superstitiops. General Garfield believed
that the number affected his destiny, and in
deed, that figure played an important part in
certain epochs of his life. Shakespeare s claim
to his plays has peen attacked through q COM
bination of numerals The nuinber7 has been
deemed lucky, and the number Is calamitous.
although a skeptical club at the North has ca
deavored to practically expose the tallacy.
The latest curiosity of this kind is found in the
figures of the present year, 1888. which is said to
be the fifth of modern times in which the ag-
gregate is 25 and that no such combination Will
be again possible until 269s. In this connection
the Philadelphia inquirer produces what pur-
ports to be an old prophecy, which runs thus:
'In every future year of our Lord,
When the sum of the 1guregis twenty-five,
Some warlike kingdom will dfa W the sword.
But peaceful nations in peace shall thrive"
History is said to verify this prediction. as In
1899 slS9, 1898 and 1879 there were great wars II
there be no conflict of any Importance in 1888,
ton. There is. however, considerable margin
yet for fulnlment

How to Secure HARMONY.

The Washington correspondent of tie
Baltimore american, says that leading R.
pnblicans regard the dissensions in the
Republican party of Virginia. as the re-
suit of fight between Malone and Rid
dleberger, and are seriously cOnsi lering
the means to bring about cessation of
hostilities and restoration of harmony.
These leading Republicans do not EVIDENT
ly understand the situation. 1t is no fight
between Malone and Riddleberger, al
though they are opposed to each other. 1t
is the protest of the Republican masses
against the insolent despotism of one man,
who arrogates to himself supreme author
ity In everything connected with party
matters. The fight will not slacken or wane
until Gen. Malone shall abdicate his des-
potlc power, or 1t is wrested from hin by
the people. Harmony would be restored
in twenty-four hours, If Gen. Malone
would recognize himself as the cause of
the dissensions and step down and ou,
from the Craftsmanship of the Committee
and take his place in the ranks. The PEG.
pile of no other State in the Union would
submit quietly to the dictatorial methods
and policy which have marked the admin
istration of the party's affairs under the
present chairman. For a man claiming to be
Republican and charged with the duties of
the highest Office in the State organization,
to conceive and attempt to execute plot to
assassinate the party, to stab it in thedark,
is conclusive that he is not fit to hold so
responsible a position. In 1881 he was at
the head CT victorious organization, but
mistaking the power of the people for
power CEN cred within himself, he ruthless.
lyand recklessly trampled upon the rights,
secuted the Judgment. and scorned the
ad, ice of his peers, treating them as me
malls and with no more respect than he
would have done slaves in the days of chat
tel slavery. 1t is deeper and broader
complaint than any mere difference be-
tween twoI men. 1t is complaint
that reaches to the very life of the Repub.
Icon party. as well as the manhood of
those who CT n itute it. ar d it cannot lie
satisfied until the people are recognized as
supreme and their dignity and character
respected.

Standing by Free Trade,

The ROckbridge correspondent of the
Lynchburg Advance of the 14th, refers to
political matters in that county, as fol-
lows:
At meeting last week of the citizens of
Natural Bridge district, in this county
the following delegates to the Norfolk con.
yentiOn were chosen: Messrs. John Dun
lap, J. P. McClaer, J. A. Stoner and Rob.
ert Witt. The alternates are Messrs
Charles McCorkle. Edward Robinson, Jas.
Brown and Geo. Hardy.
A vote of thanks for his efficient ser
vices, was given to Major VIM. Price,
of the Executive Committee for the dis
trict.
Resolutions were resented and adopted.
Heartily endorsing the ministratlon of
President Cleveland, censuring, In vigor-
ous English, those Democrats in Congress
who have DISTRACTED the policy of tariff
revision, and declining to support for Con
gress any candidate who was not in full
sympathy with the recommendations of
the Presidents message.
On the It'll inst, court day, representa-
tive citizens of Kerr's Greek district met
in Lexington and chose Hon. Ran. Tucker
and DR.. Samuel Morrison to represent
them in the Norfolk convention. Resolu
tions endorsing the administration and
message Of President Cleveland" were
adopted.
The sentiment here of the Democratic
masses, seems to be against the legsla-
tive resolutions and the Roanoke deliver
'ance of the past year, and in favor of max
ing the President s message the platform
at Norfolk. 1t is most conservative doc
ument-nOt naming free trade" but re.
commenting most urgently revision of
the tariff. with all proper regard to exist
ing industries and the interest of tie
working classes. 1t is democracy arraye
in print. and goes straight to the heart of
the people. To give half-hearted en-
dorsement to the policy and administra-
ton of the courageous President who has
proven the friend of all classes and all sec.
tions of the Republic, is, we think. a SUI
way to invite defeat this fall in many Con-
gressional districts OF Virginia.
This is notice to Congressional aspirants
what they may expect from the Rock
bridge Democracy. Col. Anderson is in
vited to stand up and be interviewed.

District Delegate 8.

To place the matter on record and to
show the views OF the Chairman of the
National Republican. Committee. as to the
election of Delegates to Chicago, from the
districts, we publish the following letters !:
PITTSBURGH. PA, March Is. 1883
Hon j. Yost, N. c.:
Dear Sir.-In reply to your letter of the
Sd inst, beg to hand you herewith a cor
rect copy of the call for the Republican
National Convention of 1888; also. a copy
OF the proceedings of the Republican Ma
tional Convex. ton of 1884, relative to the
method of election of delegates to Nation
al Conventions, and to say that l do not
see how the meaning of the language can
be misunderstood. The committees in
tended to have the delegates represent
their congressional districts, to get them
in the most direct manner possible from
the people, and to prevent the disfran
chisement of any. State conventions have
sometimes assumed the right to instruct If
not to name district delegates. Under the
method prescribed by the convention and
the call that cannot be done.
Yours very truly, B. F. JONES,
Chm Republican National Committee.

If Cleveland and the Democracy had
been defeated in 1884, the country would
not now be threatened with the destruc
tion of its industrial system by the Mills
tariff bill. 1t will require all the courage
and strength Of the friends of American
labor and American manufactures and
production to arrest the impetus given to
the free trade doctrine by the four years
control of the government by the Demo
cratic party. 1t IS strange condition to
witness great party contending for a
theory which in practice brought so much
disaster to the business of the nation in
the past and in the face of the wonderful
prosperity and progress that have followed
the enactment of laws directly in conflict
with it. Twenty-Five years of growth and
development ought to be testimony suffi.
cent to convince reasonable people that
the protective policy is the true policy for
the United States, and that free trade
would have just the reverse effect.
One of the most useful functions of
protective tariff on what are called raw
material is to stimulate the search for and
the production of those materials at home
and in our own country. The two great
examples of the value of a tariff in this
aspect of it are iron and coal. 1t is hardly
an exaggeration TO say that the enormous
iron and steel industry of the United States
is the direct offspring of the protective
system. and that the myraid Industries in
timately connected with coal and iron
would have remained undeveloped for an
indefinite period had not an import duty
led to the search for and production of
those minerals.
