Earnestness in good cause can not

Often the "nicest kind of people" become

acknowledgements Alex. Gazette:
A Virginia Democ1at here to-day says
that while he doesn't believe that many ne
groes voted the Democratic ticket in his
State at the recent election there, he knows
that some did, and some at his own precinct,
where an old negro made speech on the
morning of the election, in which he repeat
ed a dream he had the night before, to the
following effect. He was dead ard knock
ed at the gate of heaven for admission. st
Peter answered his knock, and asked him
if he was riding OF walking, and when he
responded that he was doing the latter, he
was informed that none but those who rode
were admitted. AS he turned mournfully
away he met General Malone also walking
up to the gate. He told the General what
had happened to him, and the General said,
we'll you get down on your hands and knees
and ride me up. He did SO and when the
General knocked, st. Peter asked him if he
was riding or walking, and when the Gen
eral replied that he was riding, St. Peter
said we'll, General, just hitch your beast
outside and come 10. This dream, the
Democrat referred to said, induced nearly
all the negroes who heard it to vote against
the General.

swell, it's good one. You see there was
an old Dutchman who lived down near
Roanoke and who had his eye on fine
piece of property for some time. Some one
knowing him to be red-hot Republican
told Billy Malone that he couldn't do bet
ter than send the old fellow some money to
use in buying votes. Well, Malone wrote
to the Dutchman, and, getting satisfac-
tory answer, expressed him $1,000. AS the
old fellow was carrying the money home
the owner of the property Joined him and
after little conversation offered to sell the
land for 81, $780, The old Dutchman jump
ed at the offer and unwrapping the money
handed the twelve hundred dollars over to
bind the bargain and then making haste TO
the telegraph Office sent word that it would
take $500 more to make the county solid
Republican, which amount was immediate
" forthcoming. This sum followed the
other and though no one could be found
who would confess after the election thai
he had voted the Republican ticket yet the
old Dutchman had his farm and at last &C
counts was doing his winter blowing OF

dent Cleveland, Secretary-of-State Bayard,
and leading Senators and Congressman,
asking for their views on the subject Of
immigration. Answers have been re-
ceived from number, including President
Cleveland, who stated that his views were
fully set forth in his annual message and
he had nothing to add. The subject was
one worthy OF the deepest consideration.
Secretary Bayard answered that by yir-
tue of his position it would not he proper
for him TO express an opinion.
Senator John T. Morgan thought the
Central European nations furnish good
citizens aud immigration from those coun-
tries should be encouraged with proper
restrictions.
Senator j. G. s. Blackburn answered
that the Chinese should be rigidy excluded
aud that the Italians are in no wise bcne-
fetal TO this country. =.
Congressman Richard Guenlhcr said all
Socialists aud Anarchists should be ex'
cludcd.
Congressman Cox and Caruth thought
that the Germans and Irish made the best
citizens and immigration with proper re-
| slrclious should be encouraged
