A Card of Thanks to Bro. Brooke.
Ed. Republican-P laindeoler.-Al-
low me to congratulate you upon the
able manner and great ability you
displayed in opening the campaign in
your issue of August 9Th, and the no
BILE sentiments you expressed in de-
fence of the G. 0. p, which l here
quote:
"The Peoples ticket, with its Pro-
hibition head, Democratic body and
Republican tail, is headed by }. M.
Alexander, ofWelda township for Rep
resentative. He is crank OF the
worst order; an Indifferent farmer;
disturber of the public peace, by his
everlasting ranting in and out OF time
about the burdens OF the farmer and
the oppressed condition Of the laboring
classes.
81. w. Miller, the candidate for
Probate Judge, has been a candidate
for some Office or other on the Demo-
cratic or Greenback ticket for the past
ten years, and will very probably be
candidate for Office at regular inter-
walls, until called to his fathers.
"W. H. Hudson, the candidate for
Clerk of the Court, was on the Union
Labor and Democratic ticket in the
campaign of 1883. He's no good.
"Manford SchOonover had the con-
vention in his pocket, or his friends
did"
There has been a great deal of wis
dom breathed from the rostrum and
through the press since Solomon's
time, but nothing so beautiful and so
well tempered to the shorn lambs of
the Republican flock as the above
quotations are. Such grand thong hts
Illuminated from the profound depths
of your pure political soul will con-
vince the burdened farmer and the
oppressed laboring men that to work
to pay premiums and interest on
bonds that were created to take mon
ey out of circulation. TO pay interest
and commissions on money to transact
business with, and to vote for men to
represent the great American syndi-
Gates and the European money power
are BLESSINGS in disguise" That not
to be called such fearful names and
have home in the g. o. p. is far bet
ter than to own the roof that shelters
their families or even "Treasures laid
up in Heaven"
Allow me again to congratulate you,
my dear brother, for such true ex-
position of Republican principles.
You have said all that is necessary to
settle the financial, the transportation
and the land questions, except to fight
the war ever And, by the way,
recently heard an old soldier remark
"that he had buried his father and
mother both, but nothing had ever
made him feel so bad as to see a z. o.
p. editor fighting the war over under
command of the Republican league
Yours fraternally,
M. j. TULRELL.

no USE BURNED.

The dwelling house belonging to
Mrs. Becky Thompson, widow of
the late Willis Thompson, situated
about 2 miles south Of Camden,
with its entire contents was de-
stroyed by fire Wednesday evening
about 10 o'clock. Mrs. Thompson
had been absent from home for two
days, and the fire was evidently the
work Of an incendiary. Everything
Mrs. Thompson had, except the
clothing she wore away, was de-
stroyed. The loss is estimated at
between $500 and $500. A negro
cabin also belonging to her was
burned about two weeks since.

The Deadly Wires

NEwBURG, N. y. Jan. 2O.-This morning
at nine o'clock a man stopped his horse 10
front OF a store and tied the animal to an
awning post and went away. A few min
utes later the horse touched his nose to the
iron post and fell into the gutter like a log.
Thomas Dawson ran to help the horse but
40 sooner did he place his hands on the an
imal than he (Dawson) fell dead. Thomas
5allz, who saw Dawson fall, fastened to his
assistance and took hold of him to lift him
up, but received a terrible shock, and he too,
dropped to the ground as if dead, hut re-
covered shortly afterwards. An arc electric
light wire had sagged AID lay upon the iron
post and the full force of the electric current
was passing down the iron post into the
ground.

From Brazil.

Adyices received yesterday indicate that
affairs in the new Brazilian Republic are not
progressing as peaceably as has been sup
posed. Rio Janeiro has been converted into
a military garrison. and the whole country
seems 10 be practically under martial law.
The severe methods of General Fonseca
and his cabinet have apparently turned
many ardent supporters Of the Provisional
Government against 1t, and the ranks of the
Imperialists are largely augmented from this
cause. The steamer HALEY, FROM Brazil,
brings full details of the late insurrection
there, in which over 200 men were killed.
More trouble is brewing owing to military
despotism. The Provisional Government of
Brazil has divided that country into three
banking districts. and provided for three
issue banks with a capital OF $3.50. 600 600 in
government stock.

An Incredible Rumor.

VIENNA, Jan. 20.-A very sensational YER.
sion of the Meyerling tragedy has been pub
Iished in the Vienna papers. 1t is to the
effect that Archduke Rudolf and the young
Baroness Vetssra were brother and sister.
1t is whispered that the Emperor Franz
Joseph made love to the do%ager Baroness
Vetsers, and the heroine of the Meyerling
tragedy was born to them, and when the
facts were tolG to the Archduke Rudolf he
was 80 affected by the revelation OF the ter
rible secret that hecommitted suicide. The
only basis for the story seems to be a report
that when Count Hoyos brought the news
of his fate to the Emperor, His Majesty ex
claimed My son, my daughter" The
story has recalled and renewed much gossip.

A I for a nigh liquor license in Virgin
ia has been prepared and will be introduced
10 the legislature. There Is every present
good reason why ii should be passed and not
one why it should not be. And Mr.. Jefer-
son, the father of the party in whose prlncl.
pies so large a majority of the legislature
profess to believe, was in favor of II high
tax on liquor, both as a moral and a revenue
measure. A liquor tax is one OF the FASTEST
taxes men can bear, because its payment ia
altogether voluntary. That it reduces the
consumption of liquor is proved by the ex-
perience of every place in which a high Ii
censs law has been la operation.

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 19-BecauSe the
committee for courts of justice OF the House
reported adversely upon the bill to re.
establish the whipping post law is no evil
deuce that the measure has not a strong
support in the legislature. Indeed there are
more legislators than one would imagine
who are heartily in favor OF The re establish

probably that when Mr.. Peters bill provid

up in the Senate an amendment will be
offered to include persons convicted OF lar

By Tuesday at noon the Senate clerks
