ling Proposition.
There was not much jabilation at the
prohibition Jubilee meeting Saturday
night. The court room was not more
than half filed and those who did come
out were so dilatory that the exercises
did not commence until three-quarters
OF an hour after they we're advertised to
do SO.
I.C. Wade called the meeting to order
and presided. Rev. T.. H. Teall invoked
the divine blessing and then I. G. Wade
proceeded to make talk. He said he
looked upon the meeting as significant OF
an intention on the part OF those present
to see that prohibition does prohibit, and
spoke of the unexpectedness Of the VIC
tory, which he attributed to ''still hunt"
tactics. In conclusion, Mr.. Wade called
upon Rev. WIN. Ewing, who had more OF
the jubilee spirit in his appearance than
in his ralk, and more in his talk than any
of the other speakers. He put himself
on record as disbelleying that any man
can honestly oppose prohibition on prin-
ciple and said the people ought not to
permit those newspaper which print
statements OF the, inetficacy Of prohibit
ton in "pcohlbitlon" states, to come into
their homes. He would boycott such

ing. Rev. N. S. Bradley followed
with strong, practical and we'll temper
ed speech, Rev. John Buente of the Ger
man Evangelical church, made few re-
marks aud then Prof. John Ogden, he OF
the institute, sought to add fuel to the
prohibition fire. He talked longer than
anybody and spent most OF his time in
attempting to nullify Coz. Mellettes
position on the property aspect OF the
the question. He laid down and
elucidated the startling proposition
that the state had no right
to reimburse brewers ,distl'lers and saloon
men for property necessary TO the con-
dnct of a business once legalized by law
and then declared illegal His position
was grounded not on law or common
sense but on principle of Utopian pollti-
cal ethics. The professor said that
brewers. distillers and saloon men were
engaged in a wrong" business; that they
had no moral right to conduct such
traffic or t., invest IN property to carry
it on; that if they did so 1t was at a risk.
He declared the business to be wrong.
and on that ground denied the right OF
the state to make any provision Tor the
relief OF those who had engaged ~ II.

State Convention. which is TO assemble
in Norfolk on the . inst. and a mot
lev crowd il was. there being but few
IN the assemblage bearing the appear
ance Of respectability.
The meeting was composed. Of whites
aud blacks in about equal numbers. and
1t could readily be seen that there
was a grea, lack Of brain power.
Thomas Moore was elected chair
man and G. A Hulfish secretary.
and after considerable talk and delay.
G.. A. Hnlfi.h and II Z. Dodge, wbile,
aud w. II. Lewis colored. were chosen
as delegates. Au endeavOr was made

goes entirely uninstructed. Ito vote no

done by ballot. and one noticeable Ia

RIGHTEOUSNESS AND IHE"TEU~T
We rceive that other great Repub.
lican oracles besides the Philadelphia
Erprcss have gotten mixed on the
principles and action of the high tariff.
and think that they can denouncC
trust combines, and still coddlo the
high tariff.
Excuse us. brethren, that wont work.
The result Of high tariff is our protec-
ton and consequent arbitrary control
of the home market to restrict competi-
ton and make prices advance at the
will Of the producer who can by arbi.
trary rule control the eupply ire
specti,e Of the logical laws Of supply
and demand.
Protection shuts UP foreign imports
and marks The American Of high and
low degree buy what the American
manufacturer chooses to give him. at
the manufacturers prices, at whatever
the manufacturers chooses, and you
cannot make any thing else out Of it.
By the same token the high protec-
tive tariff is the devils mother-in-law.
and foster general to the trust COM
Dine.
The aim Of the Trust is to control tie
market on exactly the same principle
that the high proiectionists use for the
same purpose. and the attempt Of the
protectionists to make a false show OF
opposing trusts is what they themselves,
best of all, know to be fraud. The
protectionist and the trust combine
men are in the same boat. and they viii
sink or swim together in the great
storm.
We think that both will sink and
then the blessed sun Of fair trade, not
free trade, viii shine on happy coun-
Try.
