A MISTAKEN PHILANTHROPIsT.- AT the
blooming city of Roanoke, the other day, a
philosopher and reformer from Pennsyl-
vana was dcscanting on Southern barbar.
ism much to the disgust of several North
ern gentlemen, who presently took occasion
to remark that the bogus Pennsylvania
philanthropist was an ineontinent black
guard and fraud. The latter had been fit
ting between the bar-room and the hotel
Office for several hours and practicing his
oratory on the barkeeper until sufficiently
full of mountain dew to overflow with su-
periority. He then began to lecture the
passers-by until quite convinced that he
was being snubbed, and then he went forth
and dragged in colored boot-black, with
whom he intended to illustrate his superior
ideas of race equality. He ordered drinks
for himself and ''this gentleman" illus
trating the demand with tender embrace
of the colored sinner. The barkeeper re-
fused to give the sinner a drink; as he
signifed his resolve, that colored gentle
man, with an acrobatic leap, got on the
top of his dignity, and thence, looking
down, be said: "No use, boss, to say amt
gwine git a drink, cause don't drink wild
no poor white trash like dis here, no bow"
And then that Pennsylvania race equality
philosopher went up stairs and quietly fold
ed his gripsack and silently stole away

The latest trust is the castor oil trust
There are seven mills in this country en-
gagged in making the oil. the value Of their
plants being about $4,000. The manu-
facturers sre taking the final steps toward
organizing Q trust combination with a CAPT
tai stock of from $3.50, 900 to $500, 000.-
TIE scheme is protected by tariff tax on
imported castor oil of so cents gallon. As
thu average price Of the imported oil in
1888 was IS cents a gallon the trust has
the benefit of 1876 per cent. duty. There
has, however, been combination of the
manufacturers for years to keep the price
up, SO that the organization CT q trust can
not mako much difference. Some years
ago the combination pushed the price up to
81 "a gallon, q little higher than the
tariff tax would warrant, SO that in 1886
there was an importation of Is, 900 gallons.
Last year the pliee ranged from 81 ~ to
81 "a a gallon. There is room now, there
fore, for a further pluoking of the con-
sumner. The sick of this country ought
not, of course, to be at the mercy of set
of men not content to sell for dollar
what the ''paupers'' of other countries buy
for 4S cents. Necessary medicines ought
to be made as cheap to the people as posi-
BILE, and tariff taxes that stand in the way

Indian Troubles in Iowa,

ST. PAUL, MIMI, June 14.-A special
dispatch from Mora says Gan encroach-
ment upon the Mile Sacs reservation is the
cause of the present troubles between the
whites and the reds. A contract was re-
Gently secured by Foley Bros, of st. Pa ul,
to dig ditch from Mile Sacs lake to Snake
river, near this place, for irrigating purpos-
es, and when the Indians heard of this they
thought the whites we're going to drain off
the water from the lake which would de-
prive them of their fishing. The contract
ors yesterday set.3O0 laborers to work, des-
pite warning from the Indians that they
would kill them unless they left the terrific
ry at once. Four hundred Chippewas, led
by White Snake and White Bear, rode
down upon the white men without warning
The Indians were armed with tomahawks
and repeating rifles. The laborers dropped
their picks and shovels and made rush to
escape, pursued by the Indians, yelling and
shooting the unprotected men as they rode
over them. Seven men we're shot dead and
number of others were severely wounded

From Gen. Jabal A. Early's Address

The following is the conclusion of the
address OF Gen. Early delivered in Win
chester on Memorial Day
1.-THE men whose bodies now lie in this
cemetery gave their lives for what they not
only believed to be, but what insist was,
a Just and righteous cause. That cause
was last, but that did not prove that it was
wrong; for the history Of the werld
abounds with instances in which might
has proved more powerful than right. The
fact, therefore, that the cause for which
these bravo soldiers gave their lives failed
of success, and that we have accepted the
result with the determination to abide the
issue as a final settlement of the questions
which led to the conflict, does not justify
the apostasy of those time-servers who pre-
tend to have discovered that they were On
the wrong side in the contest, either from
a want of manly courage, or from some
sinister motive of self-interest.
AS I have said on former occasion, "if
ever l repudiate, disown, Or apologize for
the causs for which Lee fought and jack
son died, may the lightning Of Heaven
blast me, and the scorn of all good women
and true men be my portlon;" and l re-
iterate now, what have often said before
tldt tuS CUuloucidtG Las uSStI 6lltc
the war is infinitely worse than one who
deserted during the war, for the former has
gone over to the enemy at no personal risk
to himself, and simply from motives of
gain, while the latter took his life in his
hands, knowing that he would be shot if
and in number of cases he was
tempted to leave the service to go to tho
assistance of his family, which he was in
duced to believe was starving at home.
1 have no fear that the ladies of the
South will ever prove recreant to our
cause, but they will continue to honor the
of the Confederate dead, and will
teach the rising and future generations to
venerate the character of those who fought
for thar homes and their all. From my
own observation I am satisfied that there
were no truer adherents Of the cause than
the ladies of this Valley, conspicuous
among whom I recognise the ladies Of Win
chester, and hence I fully appreciate the
value of the tribute you now pay to the
of those who lost their lives in de-
fence of the cause they espoused."
