The second musical reception given by
the choir OF St. Johns Free Church was

men are beginning to como back to Wash

ing reason tor the Democratic victories.
Senator Sherman reached the city yester-
day afternoon from New York.
"The women did it," was his laconic
reason for the tidal wave. They found
the prices higher when they went shop
ping and the men had to vote against the
Tariff biil.n
Senator Chandler telegraphs that the
New Hampshire Legislature Is Republi-
can. A private dispatch FROM Governor
Humphrey, of Kansas, says that the sue
cessor to ingalls, will be a Republican.
This W ould indicate that the Farmers
Alliance men who are pledged TO vote
against Ingalls, are not willing TO go to
the extent of voting for Democrat.
Senator Barbour, who Is member OF
the Democratic National Committee, says
that very little money was used In the
campaign.
.'It gratifes me,n he says. ''to know
that this was not mercenary campaign;
that it was not q bought verdict which
the people OF the country rendered"
In answer TO a question whether he
thought the success attained by the
Democracy to be permanent, Senator
the Mckinley bill and the Great Ameri-
can jury has decided for all time.
The Silver bill seems also to have been q
chisel which cut into the Republican
ranks. 1t looks to me also, ,as for the first
time in our recent American politics, the
agricultural population has come to the
front. / mean that the Southern aud
Western farmers have asserted their indi-

do you mean that the laboring ele-
ment is not so unanimously In favor of
the protection theory as the Republicans
have insisted %
my idea is that the protection party
made their elephant too big. A fair tariff
would have suited the cou ntry better.

Of the world"

day by Patrolman Rochfort. OF the Sixth
precinct, after robbing Bumgart's drug
store on Palisade avenue. were commit
ted for trial by Justice Wanser this morn

thief,n he Immediately jumped into car
riage near by and told the driver 70 drive
like blazes after the fleeing thieves, who
had big start of him. They were soon
oyertaken.
The two thieves are thought to be those
wko have been successfully operating all
over the city during the past few months.
Their plan is TO enter store, and while
one engages the attention of the clerk the
other does the sneak act. They appear to
have a mania for stealing medicines.

A VISIT TO VIRGINIA.

difference Between a Free and q Slave
state Southern Hospitality.
AT sixteen, was sent to spend more
than a year with my fathers relatives in
eastern Virginia. The change from free
to slave State. from a country not yet
entirely out of its pioneer crudities to q
society so fixed aud conservative as that
of the Old Dominion, was as great as the
United States afforded at that time. The
old Virginia country-gentleman life had
fascination not possessed 0y
apy other society in the
new world. What with its unbounded
hospitality to all comers, Its enormous
family pride. its sharp line of distinction
between the well born and the piebeian,
its social refinements and its narrow
local prejudiees, its chivalrous and ro-
mantle sentiment toward ladies, and a
certain iaxity of morals growing out of
the existence OF slave class, IL could not
fail to excite profound interest in the
mind of one who had been bred in a
