Things are Working.

Who would have thought five years ago
that the following call f the republican
committee Of Wisconsin for convention
to choose delegates at large to the Nation
al Republican Convention would have been
worded as follows "This call says, among
other things, that all voters who favor "a
wise revision of our tariff laws, and reduc-
ton of taxation on imports, placing on the
free list, as nearly as possible, the necessa-
ries, and making the luxuries of life bear
the expenses of Government, are invited to
join in the election Of delegates to this con-
vention." In the agricultural States of the
West and Northwest even the Republicans
are becoming wide awake TO the iniq1ities
of the war tariff Will the farmers of Vir-
ginia refuse to assist them in doing away
with a system Of legislation which has kept
them and will keep them as long as it is al
lowed to exist, hewers of wood and draw
ers of water to the protected Industries Of
the country. Charlottesville Chronicle.

Changes of the Chesapeake d Ohio



Mr.. Henry E. Summerson, who for seven
years. has bean in charge of the business of the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad in this city, has
resigned the office with the view of engaging
in mercantile pursuits, having bought the in
terest OF Mr. Z. 1. Jones in the Grocery house
of Eakle & Jones on Augusta street. Mr. Sum-
merson has been a most efficient and popular
agent, and the public will regret to part with
him at the station which he has'so worthily
filed. He will carry with him many friends
to the new pursuit in which he engages.
Mr.. w. o. Sydner formerly of Dinwidiie
county, but who has been the agent in charge
at Millboro' for the last six years, succeeds Mr..
Summersen in the freight department. The
fact of Mr.. IS dner's transfer to so important
point as staunton. attests the estimation in
which he Is held by the management of the
company; but apart from that his DESIRE aid
ed by good experience, is TO conduct the BUSH
ness promptly and with satisfaction to the
public
The Passenger d. partnent has been detaoh-
ed from the Agency in this city as il was. and

that office row becomes the ticket-agent Also

gifts of Poison

1t Is time that respectable merchants com
bin ed with consumers for the suppression of
all gift. prize and lottery schemes In connec-
ton with the sale OF articles of mercbana,se
These schemes are not only demoralizing N
legitimate business and to the morals of the
community. but in the extent In which they
are being carried in the sale of articles of food
have become source of great danger to
the public health. They are, no matter in
what form they appear. nothing more or less
than devices to swindle honest and unsuspect-
ing people.
1t is gratifying to learn that In some instan-
ces the officers of the law have taken hold of
the matter. In New York, and also In Chica-
go, parties who in this way offered gifts to pur-
| chasers of their pac kages have recently been
| arrested upon indictments for lottery swim
ding. The latest candidates, both for public
| execration and criminal prosecution. are the

Keepers to use food that contains corrosive

themselves when they come to think serious

1t must be borne in mind that every one of
| tsese gilt or prize baking powders are alum
baking powders, These goods cost less than
four cents pound to produce; the gift or prize
but few cents more. They are sold al the

MT SoLoN, VA, Apr. 9th, 1885,
Our town has been in "a panic of excitement
for several weeks past, owing to the discovery
of a cave, on the land of Squire J. j. Cupp.
The opening, or entrance to the cavern. is
small, but on the inside is large, the first room
beisg large ard roomy, and with the smaller
rooms opening out from it, form a lovely and
picturesque scene. There are four main
rooms, which are almost filed with stalag-
mites and staiaeIites. and with beautiful
sprlngs in each, Though not as large as the
Luray Carerns, it certainly will rival il in
grandeur and beauty of scenery, and would be
well worth Journey to see 1t.
The farmers are very busy blowing and
plantins-sure signs of spring. There Is some
talk of a cannery here. 1 hope 1t will be built
as our city needs something to wake IL up

county posse Sses the finest facilities Tor manu-
factories. but the "inhabitants" seem 20 lack

in the Republican party, says
"Our republican friends appear to be en-

counties have raised the standard of revolt
against bossism and unit rule, and have

second congressional district to meet at

it would appear, if party slavery is not
about as servile and degrading as was the
yoke that was lifted from them quarter
of century ago, and if their votes might

and advantage as for those of some one
else. They appear to think that they have
been shut up long enough in the republican
nursery, and having arrived at the period
of adolescence they are coveting and claim

manhood. In this district they are for
tunate to have in their own race man COM

They may not be successful at once, but if
they will be but true to themselves they
will deserve success and will achieve it in
time.

Louis the other day; he had been arranging
for the National Convention. Somebody
asked him who is most likely to be nom

In effect that Cleveland would be nomiuat-
ed without opposition or any suggestion of
opposition; he was then asked who would
be his opponent on the Republican side, aud
he answered in one word, "Blaine." Mr..

elected delegates TO the State convention.
1t was charged in the convention by the
Hon. John NJ. Langston that the delegates
elected had been selected in caucus held
at Senator Mahone's residence the previous
night. Mr.. .Langston said that not single
man from his ward had been selected. He
knew how Malone had displayed his ability
in the Senate, but he could not gag the ne
gro. The caucus had been held with closed
doors, but he was determined that the pub
lie should know how he and his friends had
been treated. He had understood that an
effort was being made bysMahone to defeat
him for Congress, but he (Langston) would
be elected.
