ALEX ANDRIA, VA.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 6.

IT Is plain to be seen, either that the devil
has runaway with The republican mSlofity
In the U. 8. House OF Representatives, or
else that they suppose he has run away with
nil the other men In the country. Upon 20
other grounds can their ehenanegan OF yes

bs beside themselves, or imagine that every
body else ia, to suppose that intelligent voters
will agree with them that man charged
With an cfense is the proper person to wnom
heiny astigation of that charge should Do eh-
trusted. There is statute prohibiting the
employment Of additional men at navy
yards within sixty days prior to elections.
A representative of the people rises In his
place in Congress, and charges the Secreta-
~ of the Navy with violating that statute
grossly In order 10 increase the vote h,s
party ally, Mr.. Speaker Red, shall receive

circumstances -appoint committee to IL

a high tariff, which compels the farmers 10
buy In the dearest and sell in the cheapest
market, is maintained for the sole and ee-
pecisl benefit cfthe farmers, to whom, for
the last quarter OF q century, 1t has afiofded
a home market. By which they have all

Hon. LKoN1DAs ]. MOORE, of North CAT
olina heretofore one OF the NEST Influential
,epubloaps in his State, has. like ex-Gov.
Aloorn, General Longstreet, and numerous
others of the more reputable southern re-
publicane, at last found that he was In the
wrong box, and has come back to the demo
cratic party. he says:
I regard the South as part OF the
American Union, and when l see party 10
vii Ito legislation ignoring that fact and
passing special laws, oppressive and humil-
ating in their character. ttf,cting us as
section, then, In my opinion, 1t Is the uuty
of every man to the manner born to resis
such legislation with all his power"
There is little doubt Of the fact that the
republicans in Congress treat the South as
though it were province, and lis people
as having no rights that are entitled to the
least respect. Under such circumstances
all the white men Of the South should touch
elbows

UNLIKE other duties, every cent Of the
tax laid on raw sugar goes into the public
treasury, except. of course, what Is stolen at
the customs houses The tariff on sugar is
simply and purely for revenue only. 1t does
not restrict the importation of sugar and
thereby turn itself toto the pockets of the
sugar planters. as that upon the products OF
mines and factories does into those Of the
owners thereof. But. all the came, the re-
publican tariff bill provides that the duty on
sugar, southern product, shall be removed,
but that that on the products of miues and
factories shall be increased. Protection is
great and Mckinley is its prophet.

A DISPATCH from Norfolk says an addition
81 force OF laboreTs has been employed at the
navy yard there. 1t you'd seem from this
that Mr.. Speaker Reeds navy yard Ia not
the only one In which Mr. Tracy Is throw
ing the whole weight of the Navy Depart
ment in favor of the republican candidate

cratic congressional candidate. But times

The Senate bill granting leave of absence
to clerks and employees In first and second
class postoffices was reported.
The Senate then proceeded to the consid.
Grafton of the tariff bill, the pending queE-
ton being on Mr.. MorgaL'5 amendment to
reduce the tariff on iron ore.
Mr. German resumed bis argument for
lower duties.
M. German said Mr.. Biaioe had said, and
said truthfully, that within the confines CT
tie biz, there ives not single Item or line
that would open the market to the agrcu!-
tural products of the United States.
Mr.. Frye-The Secretary OF State has
oeen quoted several time In the Senate as
arguipg that the Mckinley bill did not, 10
ans of it's features, open up markets. Now
the Secretary Of State was dealing, In TIA
letter, entirely with foreign and not home
markets. And it will be clear to any Sena-
tor who had read the letter that he intended
10 have said and expected to have been
understood that in the Mckinley bill there
was nothing to open up foreign markets. /
there is an especial purpose to open up for
eign markets. isthe purpose ofs protective
tariff to create home market, which is worth
ir6nitely more than any foreign market !;
and that was, undoubtedly, the understand
ing of the Secretary CT State, and not pur-
pose to ref ,ot. at ALL On the Mckinley bill,
except SO far as that there was nothing 10 1t
intended to open up foreign markets, and
he desired to nave something put In 1t in
the way ofreciprocity, by which the foreign
markets might be opened up.

The regular order having been demanded
by Mr.. Enloe, of Tennessee,
MIR. Grosvenor. OF Ohio, rose to question
of order. He insisted that 1t was the duty
of the Speaker ct this time to lay before the
House bills and ether matters Of public H.
.erest that hsd accumulated on the Speak
er's table.
The Speaker stated that the gentleman
from Iowa (Mr. Reed) presented conference
report which of course had preference.
Mr.. Reed then presented the conference
report on the Original package" bill. THE
report leaves the bill exactly as it passed
the Senate, and Ia dissented from by Mr..
Oates, of Alabama. one the conferees)
Mr.. Reed demanded The previous question
against the protest OF Mr.. Oates, who wist-
ed for longer time for debate than 40 min
utes which are accorded unler the rules.
The previous question was ordered-yeas

MIR. Oates (aaving voted In the affirmative
for that purpose moved reconsideration.
The motion to reconsider was laid upon
the tab!e-yeas 1O7, nays 95.
The forty minute debate was opened by
Mr.. Reed, of Iowa, with speech in support
of the conference report.
After q long debate The House agreed to
the conference report on the original pack
eye bill.

GIVEN Up.

Last Saturday, Constable Simpkins,
of Cedarville brought to this city Eoh
sriam 81 Stevens, the young man
charged with forgery, and delivered
him to the custody of the Sheriff. His
bondsmen have given him up for some
reason. Mr. Stevens was much sur-
prised at the action of the gentlemen.
and was not permitted to go around
among his friends to secure the necess-
bail. John Duffield offered to so OF,
but was not accepted alone, and he
drove to Cedarville after another me n,
but could not get him to come until to-
morrow. In the meantime Judge Hen
dee had been sent for, and came here
to take bail with Judge Hoagiand.
He was obliged to drive back without
p performing the service. Stevens is at
present in jail and will be kept there
until tomorrow, when bail will be fur
nished before. j Judge Reed.

An Ola Hermit,

Harry Elbrn and Dave Davis were
out cunning last week. They drove O
Broad way station, and then struck off
in the big swamp, which continues up
toward Pala'ine. Near the latter
place, the hunters stumbled upon a
rude entrance to a sort of cave, and
upon making cons iderable noise, at
tracted the attention of those inside.
One old man came out of the dirty
hole in the ground. His face orce
seen will never be forgotten. His hair
was unkempt, and hung low down .ur-
on his shoulders. A companion r, .
mained standing at the door, and ap
peared about the same as he who had
come out first. Tn gunners endeav-
ored to engage the hermit in conversa.
tion, but were unsuccessful, further
than receiving from him the informa-
tion that he had been living in the
hole for thirteen years, and had not
been near any civilization in that time.

Close OF the Season for ktllfnS
Deer.

The season for shooting deer In New
Jersey closed on Sunday. Many Of
these tieet.footed animals were killed
during the month just passed. The
deer, it is said, were never known to
be more plentiful, and for the past
week the woods in Atlantic county
were alive with gunners. One hunter,
Larner Duberson, Of Mays Landing
on Friday last, killed large doe that
weighed when dressed 152 pounde. Al
together % were reported killed in At
lantic county, and probably as many
were slaughtered in Cumberland
couoty, one family, the fam ,us Mo-
Clures, of Doughty's tavern, killing Z.
1t has been a most profitable season
for the sportsmen, and many of them
state that there are plenty OF deer left
unharmed in the woods.

POISON I'm THE CAKE.
Rough on Rats Used as Baking
Powder.

A family by the name of Snyder, live
about a half mile from Carmel, and on
Thursday morning the good house
wife prepared some cakes, whish she
was to bake for breakfast She took
frcm the cupboard some white powder
which she thought was baking pow
der, and mixed a considerable guam
tity In the cakes The cakes were
then prepared for baking, and finally
well Drowned, with tempting odor; the
cakes were piled high upon plate on
the table for the family.
Mr.. Snyder had been at the wood
pile during the preparations for break
fast, and just as he was about to be in
vited in, he thought of the evening be-
fore, when he borrowed a quantity of
Rough on Rats" from F. neighbor for
the purpose of killing off vermin about
the place. He had placed the poison
in paper, and laid it ia the kitchen
cupboard among other packages used
in the culinary department He i'm
medlately went to the house, informed
his wife Of the presence OF the poison
in the closet, and went TO the cup
board to look for it. Il was not there,
and finally 1t was ascertained tha5 the
entire composition had been baked in
the cakes.
When the truth was learned. Mrs.
Snyder was completely overcome.
How near deaths door the accident
had brought the entire family. How
very near, through her mistake, had
she become d murderess. Mr.. Snyder
took the cakes aud buried them ia the
yard, removing all chance of man or
beast getting them and thus be pois-
oned.
