The Sir knights of California travelled
to Washington on special train, and
had with them three cars loaded with
the choicest fruits from Los Angeles
valley.
A thousand Sir Knights left the Penn
sylvania depot yesterday. They went by
special trains Massachusetts furnished
six hundred, Rhode Island two hundred,
and Connecticut three hundred.

in two or more sections.
Sir Knight Warren Dobbs was called to
Brooklyn yesterday by the Illness of his
wife. She is better today and her CON

the shock came. The bolt came down
through the top of the house, through the

the ground. The whole north side of the
house was wrecked, the chimney torn down
and some of the timbers thrown $50 feet
Fortunately none of the family were Sc

distance out of their seats By the shock but
none of them were effected by the electric

The MahOna EynOsure.

From the New York World Nov. 9nd1
The revelations concerning Mshone's
with foreign bankers ought TO end
his career and bring upon him not only ths
contempt of the people of the state he tried
to sell at auction for the benefit OF the Lon.
don stock jobbers, but the abborrepcs If all
Americans who look upon public offiee as
a public trust and believe that mss should
hold flee in this country only by viftas Of
the free choice Of their fellow oitzsBs
The story reduced to it's essentials is This.
Malone was conducting campaign in Viz
GINA; If he conld carry IT be- would have
control of the Legislature aud would he sbls
to compel his own election AS United States
Senator. He could only carry tho election
by purchase and he needed the sum of
300 900 with which to buy H..
Meantime the London stock jobbsrs who
held the States bonds were likely TO lose
the greater part of their Investments by rea
son of the Rlddleberger readiustment law,
of which Malone himself had secured the
passage They could get no better terms
out of the democrats than those offered 10
Mahone's R ddleberger law, and they could
not sue the State, get Judgment, issue ex
ecutions, levy upon the property and sell
the Commonwealth at auction.
At this iuncture Malone offered to make
dcker with the stock jobbers. They were
to furnish him 100000 of British money
with which to carry an American election,
and in return he was to induce the legisla-
ture to enter into suit with the State of
West Virginia which would bring Virginia
within reach of court process and enable
the bondholders to levy upon the State and
sell it at sheriff vendue.
1t was plot utterly bad at every point.
| Tt proposed the carrying of an election by
purchase; it sought to make an English syn
dictate a controlling political force in an
American State, and finally it contemplated
the financial ruin of the State and of all its
people.
The man who devised this scheme and
sought to carry it out is now candidate
for Governor of the State he proposed tc
sell to Eoglishmen, aud his canvass is sup
ported by all the powers and influence Of
the Administration at Washington.

A SEVERE ATTACHMENT Boston
Daily Herald, al independent paper, in a
leading editorial headed ga Modern In
stance" severely arraigps General Malone,
the republican candidate for Governor of
Virginia, and President Harrison. 1t
says
president Harrison is pIofessed
Christian, and he is presumed to be man
of unquestioned patriotism. That he has
prostituted the use of the nations patron
age to the use of Mahoue is without ques-
ton. 1t is large portion of the capital
with which Malone is laboring to carry
this election. We believe it to be the
worst abuse of the civil service on record
at the hsDds of any President in any era
of the nations history. It is stigma upon
che administrator VIII ch it seems impossi
BILE for 1t TO live under with self respect on
ITS own part, or semb!anoe of credit before
the people. Malone Is really buying votes
for his peruicieus purposes with promises
which the administration has made itself
his banker to fulfil. It is difficult to
characterize conduct like this too severe
ly."

VIRGINIA is SAVED
FROM THE CURSE OF
MAHONEISM.
TIDINGS!
Virginia is True to her Motto "Sic Semper
Tyrannis," which is an Appropriate
Epithet of the WOuld-be Tyrant
William Malone.
INTELLVGENCE AND VIRTUE HAVE
TRlUMPHED OVER IGNORANCE
AND RASCALITY.


The news we give below must cheer the
heart of every patriot and true son OF Vir-
einis. as it indicates that the Old Common
wealth is saved from most direful fate.
The news is better than was anticipated
by the most sanguine. A Democratic cy
clone has swept over the State and Mahon-
ism has met the fate it richly deserved. Au-
gusta county has given larger majority
than ever before in all it's glorious history.

be every true citizen of thi county.
At the time we close our report, over
one-half of the State has been heard from
giving Democratic majority of %, 600.
Richmond goes Democratic by 5,473
majority; Norfolk by 1908; Petersburg
446; Wythe county by 500 majority. Eight
precincts in Rockingham give net Demo-
cratic gain of 600. Six precincts in Rock
bridge give Democratic gain of 200 over
the vote of 1888. The county is considered
Democratic by at least 800 majority
Lynchburg and Campbell give Demo-
cratic majority of 1,O0O-a gain of 600.
Many strongholds of Republican strength
have given democratic majorities, and the
counties which have voted for Malone have
done SO by largely reduced msjorities from
the vote of 1888.
Several members of both houses of the
General Assembly have been gained to the
democrats and the majority in that body
will be increased.
We are unable to give intellible news
from other States, though a number OF
kilograms have been received. The vote in
Ohio will be close between Foraker and

When President Harrison was inaugural
ed president he took high ground on the
subject of civil service reforna and of his
own motion announced that federal oficiais
would be permitted to serve out four

Congratulations in Advance.

Though this is written on the day OF elec-
tion, and, of course, before the result can
be known with absolute certainty, yet, so
suspicious are the indications, that we fee
assured that we are justified in extending
in advance our congratulations to all true
Virginians and lovers of liberty on the trl-
umph of the Democratic ticket and the
salvation of Virginia from the rule OF the
worst political boss and would-be-tyrant
that ever desecrated her sacred soil. we
have felt confident throughout the canvass
that such would be the result if the masses
could be brought to realize the great dan
ger which menaced the Old Commonwealth,
and for the past month we have seen that
they were appreciating it, and since then
we have felt perfectly confident that Ma
hone and Mahoneism, which is the synonym
of all that is corrupt, vicious, and despica-
Bile, would be buried beneath great ma
iority of ballots cast by indignant freemen
who know their rights and dare maintain
them. The people of Virginia can neither
be bought with money nor inundated by
power-and the use of these corrupt means
and the importation into the State OF North
ern South haters to interfere in mere State
election, have added to the majority for the
Democratic ticket which will be given to
day (Tuesday). 1t should be remembered,
too, and not soon forgotten, that the pres
emit Federal Administration is equally
guilty with Malone in its efforts to place
the intelligence and virtue of the State
beneath ignorance and vice.
The people who have been observing the
course of the administration and comparing
it with its professions, are rapidly coming
to the conclusion that it will be known in
historyas Pecksnifian administration, and
will be offensive not only to all Christians,
but all honest men, and in 1892 it will be
repudiated and condemned throughout the
whole country as Malone and Mahoneism
will be in Virginia this day. To all who
did their duty by going to the polls and
voting for the Democratic ticket we extend
our heartfelt congratulations, and IN the
name of liberty, peace, and good govern
ment, we thank them from the bottom of
our heart and hope that they may live long
and prosper.

A correspondent asks the "Atlanta Con
stitution" the strength of the Federal and
Confederate armies, to which the following
reply is made : "The enlistments in the
Federal armies we're 2. $50, 900, and in the
navy sufficient number to swell the grand
total to 5000, Goethe biggest army ever
raised by any nation in any cause. The
strength of the Federal army at the close
of the war, in May, 1866, was 1000, 600,
showing that nearly 100000 had been
killed or placed hors du combat. The ac-
tual killed and died were 304 900. The
pension rolls a quarter of century after
the war is over show nearly 100000
wounded who still survive. The total en-
listments of the Confederate army from be-
ginning to end of the gigantic struggle,
were only 100000, but were never more
than 100000 were enrolled at any one time,
while 200, 900 were tho NEST available at
any one time for active service. OF this
number 100, 900 were killed and died; 300
600 of the 600, 900 enrolled were militia ard
home guards who never saw active service.

AN EXAMPLE Last year rs per cent. of
the cotton cloth imported by Mexico was
from Great Britain, SO per cent from
France, from the United States and the
remainder for Germany.
Cotton cloths formed 20 per cent. of all
Mexican imports.
Daes not this fact exhibit the weakness
of American craftsmanship, as well as the
supreme folly of the policy which excludes
American manufacturers from foreign mark
cts, and limits them to domestic consump-
tions AS we raise nearly all the cotton
that in manufactured state goes into
Mexico, and as Mexico is our next door
neighbor, it seems reasonable to suppose
that all her imports of cotton manufacture
should come from Us. But Mexico, like
most any other civilized nation, prefers to
buy in the market in which she sells, and
as she cannot sell here By reason of the
high duties her goods must pay to get to
our mrrket, she goes elsewhere for her bar
gains. In that she follows the natural laws
of trade and the logical course.
1t is absolutely impossible for this coun-
try to command any foreign trade worth
mentioning as long as the foreign mer
chantmen must come or go with empty
holds. The markets where they can un-
load and load will get their trade every
