hN0hNub wv. 'h-l bNhiN~t'f
Messrs. II. II. Chamberlayne and j.
#. Lanphorne, of Black Diamond. called
to see us Yesterday and stated that the
story told by the employment agent
around Black Diamond that forty negro
families had been engaged TO take the
places of as many white families there
was untrue. The miners have been on
q strike for an advance in wages,
which had been refused, and many OF
them who were living in the company S
houses have gone to work Tor other
companies at the old prices. By the
terms of written agreement with each
tenant they may be ordered to leave the
houses on three days notice, and when
they had gone to work for other compa-
MES they had been given notice to move
out, and not before then; neither had
any family in which there was sickness
been ordered out. The miners having
gone to work for other companies, their
houses were needed for other laborers.
As to the story of the negroes, 1t was q
pure canard. A man did come to see them
and offered to bring in negroes from
Virginia, but they being good Demo
Gratis refused to import negroes as long
as there were white men around whom
they could get to work. Why this man
should have reported that they had con-
tracted for negroes cannot be under
stood, unless it was to injure them for
not giving bis negroes the employment
he was seeking. We are glad to know
that this company is not engaged in the
colonization business and gladly make
the correction.

Governor Hill, Of New York.


Homeward- bound from Ohio Governor
HILL made ten-minute speeches at va
rious stopping-places in West Virginia and
Maryland. His rostrum was the rear
platform of Pullman car. Great crowds,
brass-bands, cannon-fring, rain, enthu-
siasrn, and collision furnished the chief
incidents of the trip.
A Baltimore SIN reporter accompa-
MED him from Wheeling to Cumberland.
For fourteen hours he was with him,
talked with him, heard his speeches,
watched his movements, and observed
him closely. "The Governor Is polite,
and his urbanity, if not thoroughly ma
tural, is so thoroughly mastered that 1t
seems natural" and the writer says;
His treatment of men as of demo-
cratic principles is honest, open, and
without reserve. He will grasp your
hand, hold it perhaps for minute, and
look you through and through. as
though to penetrate your thoughts,
as many distinguished men are said
to do, but he turns upon you
a pair of gray, almost motionless eyes,
with the ease and placidity with which
you would adjust pair of opera glasses
to gaze upon the outlines OF a stage
beauty. lie speaks in moderate voice,
pleasantly and cordially, not enthuslas-
tically or effusiveiy. He. is not eloquent.
Senator Kenna in two minutes yester-
day put more warmth into his speeches
and elected more response than the
Governor did in ten minutes. There was
nothing original or brilliant in Governor
Hills speeches. only plain statements OF
good democratic principles, sandwiched
occasionally with apt illustrations. But
Governor Hill is remarkable man. lie
is pretty well versed in law. He knows
the ms and outs of New York politics.
He is a bachelor. He has never taken
drink of whiskey or beer in his life, has
never smoked cigar. cigarette, or a
pipe. He is the Governor of the biggest
State in the Union, and he is ambitious,
as every man has the right to be. he is
a candidate for the presidency OF the
| United States--a worthy ambition. Great
crowds turned out TO see and hear HIM
Probably 1900 persons composed his
audiences in West Virginia and Mary
land. Fifty thousand persons have seen
and heard him since he left New York

1t ia readily understood why we have
been as busy as bees during the past
week, for il seems that the public are at
last becoming aware of the fact that the
Mckinley bill, the great measure Of
moral iniquity, is daily pushing the
prices of dry goodsup higher and higher,
while We, Notwithstanding increased
values, are still holding our prices down
to the lowest point.
A large proportion of the stock OF
every dry-goods house consists OF i'm
ported fabrics upon which on account of
Increased duties the prices are being
raised from % to 30 per cent, while at
the same time domestic materials are
moving upward in sympathy.
Although we know that our large stock
is daily improving in value we propose
to stand by the present prices and give
our customers a chance to 10y in their
winter supplies previous to the advance
which is inevitable.
Our stock IS now without exception
the largest, bestassorted, most carefully
selected, and attractive that we have
ever shown.
The line of DRESS GOODS, both in
black and colored, which We exhibit can

Let us prepare for tho grand battle
Tho number of Electric Light

The Number Of Electric Lights.
Richmond is at a gratifying point IN
her history.
She has greater population, wealth,
and business than ever before, and her
prospects are unprecedently bright.
Her businessmen feel the thrill OF
prosperity and show the glow OF enter
prise. We are about to stretch out our
hands for new manufactures We are
bringing to completion million-dollar

in Virginia are going up; viaducts are
70 be built over Shockoe creek, to ex-
tend First and Fifth streets northward |;
a $3.50, 900 viaduct to connect Shockoe
and Church Hills is talked about; half
dozen pretty suburban towns have
sprung up on our borders; merchants
and manufactures report excellent busi-
ness this fall, and--yet we have propo-
sition TO reduce the number of electric
lights2
1t is very astonishing thing. The
people will not approve it and it should
not be done.
So far from lessening the number OF
electric-Hghts we ought to double them.
The businessmen Of this community
must rise up in earnest protest against
the proposition.
II the Council committee has not the
necessary means let it appeal to the City
Council. II the Council has no money
and does not know how or where to get
it let it submit the question to the voters.
With the greatest aggregate OF taxa
bles ever known in the history OF Rich
mond it is absurd to say that we cannot
afford to keep up our full quota OF cleo
trio lights.
We say no back-stepping.

Governor Campbell.


Governor CAMPBELL, of Ohio, is always
mentioned along with Messrs. CLEvE-
LAND, HILL, and WHITNEY, of New
York, as a promising candidate for the
Democratic nomination for the presi-
dency. Much doubt has been expressed
whether he showed great wisdom IN
calling the recent extra session OF the
Legislature, and some have thought that
it was not thing to improve his stand
ing with his party. On this point he has
been interviewed by correspondent OF
the Washington Post, and to his visitor
the Governor said:
81 feel that the Democratic party in
this State has won great victory. and
that its effects will be lasting. The fact
that the Republicans joined us in an eff
fort for honest government does not at
all detract from the effect the cleansing
process will have. A Democratic mea-
sure was simply so far and just that it
received the votes of both the majority
and minority in the Senate, and OF
large number of the members OF the
House on both sides. am sorry some
of our Democratic friends failed to put
themselves on record for the bill, but l
shall not quarrel with them on that ac-
count. respect man who has an hon
est difference of opinion and stands up to
it, but have naught but contempt for
man who speaks behind subterfuge.

am concerned, without a grain Of preju-
dice against any man who opposed me.
think the party in the State is vastly
strengthened the effect will be to purify
the public service in the future, and TO
bring better class Of men to the front,
The result shows that there were good
men in both parties to rise above parti-
sanship and mere question of spoils
and do something for Cincinnati--a city
that was crying for relief from gang
rule"

WHAT IS ITi
The influence that Sometimes Guides Us
Against Our VIII.


Against Our VIII.
"No, / do not believe in ghosts, " said
an old lady OF great experience; "but
L do believe in the ministration OF
spirits"
This is not the age nor the country in
which the supernatural fourishes. In
terest centres about the practical.
Haunted houses are rented without great
difficulty if the landlord is willing to
knock off portion of the rent.
There are many, however, who will
admit the e1ertion at times Of some pc
culiar influence swaying our actions.
We are led to do things we should no.
do OF our own volition-the wisdom of
which we do not appreciate until after
wards then We wonder how We came TO
do them. We are forced to learn that
worldly wisdom is not always that which
guides into the wisest courses.
In this practical age results are what
people are looking after. They believe
In what they see--the "evidence Of
things not seen " is to be weighed in
the future. When q man is sick he
wants to get well he cares little what
medical method isemployed il it cures.
But il it does not cure he soon begins
to doubt the skill of the physician and in
quire into his methods OF medication. A.
happy thing it is sometimes if some in
huence induces investigation before it is
too late.
W. q. Higgins, IS Ferry street, Fair
Haven, Conn, writes June 30, 1890 !:

nal founder of the paper, told US once

Great Fire at Mobile.

Mobile was greatly damaged by a fire
which came upon it Sunday afternoon
and swept away wharves, cotton com

ness-houses and factories.
The loss is great, and perhaps there

who are thrown out Of employment.
