Rev. DIR. R. A. Holland, who just after the
war was one of the most brilliant young writ
ers and speakers in the Southern Methodist
Church, afterwards entered the Episcopal
Church, and Is now the rector of church in
st. Louis. He has recently announced his
position as that of "a Broad High Churchman. -
That must be very big sort Of man, to be
sure.-Richnond State.
1t will be remembered by q number OF our
citizens that this gentleman, whilst still a
Methodist. delivered two eloquent sermons in
the Methodist church Of this city. He is man
of ability. and one OF the finest elocutionist
we ever heard. The sermon in the morning
was descriptive chiefly, and commenced with
vivid description Of Nazareth, which was
fine specimen Of word-painting; but his sermon
at night was of a different character which
demonstrated that he was a man OF ability-if
the sermon was original, which we have no
reason to doubt-as we'll as a man OF poetic
fancy and a finished elocutionist, with pleas.
ant voice, distinct enunication, and graceful
manner. He seems, however, to lack stability
and has swung from one extreme to another
In his church reations-from Methodist to
high church Episcopalian.

Facts as Arguments.

We are not at all disposed to crow over
the defeat of the prohibitionists in various
parts of the country. We believe that they
are conscientious in what they do and that
their only purpose is to benefit humanity,
by putting out of the way great evil.
But experience shows that prohibition
so-called is no sort of remedy against in
temperance and the verdict of the people is
overwhelming During the last two years,
the following States have refused to adopt
prohibition amendments: Michigan by q
majority of 5,645, Texas by a majority of
1851, Tennessee by majority of 81, 69S,
Oregon by q majority of 1885, West Vir-
ginia by majority of 1854, New Hamp
shire by a majority of 5,000 Massachusetts
by majority of 1869, and Pennsylvania
by majority of 1876, OO0 And right on the
heels of this comes Rhode Island which had
tried prohibition for several years, but votes
the amendment away by 10000, or 5000
more than the necessary three-ffths major
ity.
But is this a blow at temperance? We
think net. As the New York Herald says,
in speaking of the result in Pennsylvania,
cit is not rum victory. 1t was not o
triumph of intemperancs. On the contrary,
it was temperance victory. The people
OF Pennsylvania are not Indifferent to the
evils of the liquor traffic. They are as anx-
ious as the advocates of prohibition to abatc
or lesson theoe evils. But they wisely see
that this desirable end cannot be reached
by absolute prohibition, but only by judioi-
GUS regulation"
We don't want to discuss the question,
but simply to call attention to these cold
facts and to remark that man is not to be
set down as an enemy of the temperance
cause, simply because he declines to vote
for measure which he knows to be utter
ly impracticable. Register.

road in Richmond, whilst Capt. Arthur G.
Smith was attempting to uncouple some
cars, his foot was caught by the brake and
the cars ran over him, cutting eff his head
aud right shoulder and arm. He was a son
of DIR. g. Smith, Dentist, of Richmond,
with whom he, with his wife and two chill

StaUntOn Markets..


STAUNToN, VA, June 18th, 1889.
Comments upon the markets, at this. the dull
season in trade, would bs but slightly If at all
changed from one week to another.
The little wheat selling Gpd the demand for
1t remain about the same as last week In guam
titles offered aud quotations.
In Wholesale grocery lines, sug ars in tenden-
cy, as stated last week, have continued to ad-
vance.
Remarks upon op-prospects which are &C.
casionally introduced here could be made to
run over a wide range of observations.
We have had in this section Of the Valley but
three days of fair weather since the wheat har-
vest commenced. Yesterday was an excellent
day for field work but the chilly atmosphere
was the forerunner OF q cold continued rain
during the night and the entire day succeed
ing, without prospect of cessation. The eff
feet will be injurious to shocked wheat and
damaging to that standing, If fully ripe.
The observation turns very much to the
wheat fields, but the state of the weather is
alike damaging to corn and hay-making.
We quote from the Prairie Farmer concern
ing the outlook in portion Of the west and
damages from grain Aphis which has made
It's appearance. The Fdrmer says.
"since our last weeks report, the tempera-
ture remained low until the 18th inst. Later,
there was warm wealth r but with heavy rains
locally. In the wheat belt. now ready for har-
vest, up to the latitude of Southern Illinois
and Northern Kentucky, there is considerable
complaint Of untoward weather. Insects are
also reported in portions Of Ohio. Indiana, and
Illinois, especially raln.plant louise, Siphon-
ophora granaria. This has been found in the
entire section of Northern Kentucky, and 10
the Wabash Valley, especially on the Illinois
side. On the whole. the weather has not been
all that could be desired, SO far as harvest
flanr int halt cd
The probable damages from this pest have
been much discussed in commercial circles in
the last few days. The boards Of trade Of
Chicago. Cincinnati, and other cities have sent
experts out to investigate 1t, and the harm Its
pl esencG Is doing.
The small products of the farms and gardens
are very plentiful. Blackberries. raspberries,
and huckleberries have all made their ap-
pearance in the supply stores.
Butter remains as quoted last week, 8 cent?;
and eggs 121S cents.

DEATH OF THE HEAVIEST MAN IN
AMERICA.-ELMIRA, June 17.-John l.
Lawes, the phenomenal fat man, died at
his home in this city at 8 P. N. to day.
Mr.. Lawes had been enjoying his usual
good health, and was to have been on ex.
hibition at the county fair which opens in
this city next Wednesday. Last Friday he
was taken ill of erysipelas and failed rap
idly. Mr.. Lawes was undoubtedly the
heaviest man in America, weighing at his
death GAO pounds. He was born in Eng
land and was about forty years of age. He
was blacksmith and worked at his trade
up to three years ago. Previous to that
time he had weighed only little over 200
pounds. He then began to gain rapidly in
weight, forcing him to give up work at his
trade. He gained in weight at the rate of
from five to tan pounds per week. Every
thing that medical science suggested was
applied, but it was of no avail. As he
grew in weight his appetite increased. Two
and three pounds of beefsteak was but a
small meal for him, and he ate as often as
five or six times a day. His physicians
recommended diet, but his appetite grew
Unsuitable: until, at the time of his death,
his principal occupation was eating.

When Grover Cleveland entered the
White House in March, 1885, he found the
business Of the country greatly depressed.
1t had been fat for two years or more. The
mills had shut down and thousands of me-
ohanics were out Of work. Those who were
employed were working on half time. But
with the Inauguration of Democratic ad-
ministration the business,of the country be-
gan to revive and Cleveland had not been

started up, the half.starved wage-workers
were in demand once moro and wages ad-
vanced During the four years of Cleye-
lands Administration the business of the
general trade Of the country was good be-
yond precedent. President Harrison has
been IN of11se three months and q half, and
10 that time, instead of business improving
it has declined. Wages have been reduced
in many sections, and many wage-workers
have been thrown out OF employment. Dur
ing Cleveland's administration there was
perfect social order in the South. With the
Inauguration of Harrison the colored Re.
publicans of the South began to cause
trouble. and the tragedies precipitated by
them have been numerous, indeed. Even
fair-minded Republicans, if such can be
found, must admit that President Harrison's
Administration thus far has been singular.
