WEST PorST. Va, September 23.-Captain
George ID. Wise made an excellent speech
to-day at King William Courthouse TO q
large and enthusiastic audience. MIR. Wise
analyzed and exposed the treaoherous fea-
lures of the force bill. He also dwelt on
the tariff and the impoverished condition
of the Treasury. He said both parties had
promised that there should be reduction
in taxation: instead of a reduction the
Republicans were endeavoTing to pass q
DILL greatly increasing 1t.
POOLING TIRE FSBsTBs.
The Republicans claimed to protect the
American farm products. They are trying
10 fool the farmers by settling % per cent.
on wheat imported America only imports
wheat for seed: therefore the farmer was
even taxed on his seed-wheat. When the
Republicans got full control Of the Gov
eminent there was Sl00,00O,OO0 surplus.
To-day there is a deficit, and the country
is in an alarmed state for fear of u crisis.
Mr.. Wise highly complimented the plat
form of the Farmers Alliance. and said ne
was heartily IN favor on that platform and
in sympathy with the alliance.
MIR. WISE EMBOSSED.
At the close OF hr. Wise's speech Col
onel William IL. Aylett said az the Demo-
Gratis of King William had not had an
opportunity before, he would offer the fol-
lowing resolutions, which were unani-
mously adopted
Res0iUed. That the Democrats Of King
William county, in public meeting assem-

Wise for Congress in the Third congress

him our united and steadfast support

Resolced. That this resolution be pub

papers.
Hon. II. u. Pollard, of Richmond, was
then called for. He made a short but
pithy speech. He said that Mr.. Wise had
covered the whole ground.

The Russian Influenza.

Half million people are down with
the grippe in Europe. It has a particu-
lar spite at kings and emperors, but does
not slight common people as it passes
by. In Paris a school was closed on ac-
count of it the last Of December, and
new hospital accommodations had to be
provided in the city. In some cases it
has produced complications of laryngitis
and pneumonia that have resulted in
death.
It is spreading more or less rapidly
throughout the United States.
But do not on that account be alarmed
when your eyes begin to run water and
the bony parts around your eye sockets
and the root of your nose begin to feel
sore and bruised. When you read sensa-
tional reports of suffering and death
from this epidemic, believe a fifth of
them, no more. If you sneeze, don't 60
to bed and send for doctor. Go about
your vocations as usual. And if the cpl.
demic really comes into your neighbor.

not to be afraid of it"

The time is past when farmers and
laboring people can be satisfied with
the sort of rehash stuff dished out to
them by the old party papers. The
people demand something more than
the old worn out chestnuts, and tai
fy preparation gotten up for the sole
purpose of keeping their eyes closed.
The newspaper of today is not
newspaper if it says nothing of the
great conventions of the producing
classes which are growing more nu-
merous and determined, each and all
working for a common purpose. 1t
can no longer be denied that this
country is in ferment, and that a
revolution, peaceful or otherwise, is
near at hand, and the newspaper
which does not have a voice in the
matter, and which keeps up the old
cry call is WE'LL" and "the people are
prosperous and happy is unworthy
the support of a laboring man.

Liberty Island, as it is now called,
Bedloe's Island as it was formerly,
which proudly bears the Bartholdi
Statue of Liberty upon its bosom, has
become the property of New Jersey,
statue and all. The boundary between
New York and New Jersey has been in
dispute more than hundred years. In
1887 joint commission was appointed by
the two state legislatures to settle differ
ences. The commission decided that
the boundary line should be the middle
of the channel in Hudson river and New
York bay. Thus very valuable dock
privileges, the Robbins Reef lighthouse,
and Bedloes Island with the Statue of
Liberty and all the mosquitoes pass into
the possession of Jersey. The electric
light with which Liberty illumines the
nations costs $40 a night. The United
States pays that, however.

Some More HOmesteads.

In the eastern border of South Dakota
is the reservation of the Sisseton Indians.
They and the Wahpeton Indians are ne
gotiating with the government for the
sale of their lands. When the sale is
consummated, as it will be ere long,
789, 1000 acres of land will be added to the
homestead domain. The Fort Sisseton
military reservation, near the Indian
lands, is also to be abandoned for mill
tary purposes. 1t contains 400, 900 acres.
Thus nearly million and quarter Of
acres of new farms will be open to set
tiers ere long, though not all Of it is till
able. The Indians have reserved such
lands as they desired for farms for them
selves in severalty.
Only one point of difference still re-
mains to be adjusted between the gov
eminent and the Sissetons. The Indians
have an old claim against the United
States which, they say, should be settled
before they abandon their land to settle
ment. Years ago, before they had their
eye teeth cut, when they knew not the
true value of Dakota wheat farm, they
say they were persuaded by white men
to sell their lands for five cents an acre.
This fact. The red men who were thus
deluded ask the government to now make
an appropriation indemnifying them for
this swindle when they were green.
Their request certainly does not look un-
reasonable,

Count Chardonnet, q French chemist,
received from the exposition the grand
medal for the invention of an artificial
silk, perfectly adapted to its purposes.
Silk worms were dying in Europe at a
rate that was alarming. The count
studied carefully the chemical constitu-
ton of silk and prepared solution iden-
teal with it. He poured a solution of
collodion through hairlike glass tubes.
The collodion hardened into threads,
after being passed through another set
of tubes containing water. After being
still further treated, threads were pro-
duced which could be woven into the
finest silk.

The Pope and Progress.

w. T. Stead, of The London Pail Mall
Gazette, writes striking letter from
Rome on the position of Pope Leo XIII
with regard to modern reforms. Accord
ing to Stead, his holiness is fully abreast
of tho radical reformers in the labor
field. He is vigorously pushing the or
ganization of Catholic trades unions,
having aims identical with those sought
by the general trades unions. The holy
father would shorten the hours of labor,
SO as to give the workman time to edu-
cate himself, and he would fix by law
and custom the seventh day for rest. On
the continent of Europe Sunday labor is
much more common than it is in Great
Britain or America.
Those in the pope's counsels told Mr..
Stead that he would gladly cooperate
with Protestants of all sects, and even
with representatives of atheistical and
revolutionary societies in enforcing the
workingman's release from labor on Sun
day. IN Drlet, the programmes OF the
various socialistic congresses that met in
Paris this summer formed for the anne.
Iteration of the masses will be observed
to be followed with striking accuracy
by the programme the pope has laid
down, Stead tells us. We are told fur.
Their that the holy father is in favor OF
the emancipation of woman, seeing in
this the salvation of the church.
Most striking of all, however, is the
evidence here given once more of the
complete adaptability of the Roman
Catholic church to the changing condi-
tons of modern society and the ability
of her leaders to see which way the wind
blows,
