MIDSUMMER AhUsExENTs.

Opera at the Latter.
It has been so long since minstrel show
was here and the appetite Of Richmond's fun
loving people had become 80 whetted for
such performance that tho large audience,
despite the heat at the Academy of Music
last evening 70 see the George Wilson COM
pany, was not at all surprising
10 would have been pity for so clever an
entertainment to have been poorly patronized.
While minstrel performances. like circuses.
are more or less all alike still there are usually
some new feature or some old specially given

company this season. Wilson was as
funny as ever, and the French Empire

cuted. Ii was followed by that very ancient
musical comedy played on sleigh bells.

Il have been down in Richmond for some
days" said ex-COngressman John Amber
Smith in an uptown hotel. and / was sur
prlsed at the bitterness of feeling that il de-
veloping between the Alliance people and the
Democracy The Democrats are making Il
huge mistake in undertaking the strength of
this new movement. The Alliance men are
seeking control Of the railroads, aud if the
Democrats refuse their demands look out for
big row.
In the meantime Malone is not asleep.
He Is intensely on the qui yiye. and will do oil
he can 70 foster the differences between the
dominant party and the farmers. He will
cooperate with the latter 10 elect members TO
the Legislature wherever they decide TO an
tagoniZe the Democratic nominee. Malone
learned much by his crushing defeat two
years ago. and he will never again put faith
in the men who deceived him 50 completely
then"
That IS decidedly gauzy. and is but an IL
lustration of the time-worn proverb that the
wish is father TO tho thought" Nothing
would please our friends, the enemy,
more than to know that there was truth in the
statement that bitterness existed between the
Alliance men and the Democrats There may
be differences Of opinions on some subjects,
but no bitterness. As to Malone. there is no
danger Of the Alliance tying itself TO him. for
although advocating certain special legsla-
ton the predominating element Of the Ali
ance in Virginia Is purely Democratic. and
Will so remain.

TINES that all he could do would be 10 defeat
the nomination of ex-Presdent Cleveland
and force the party TO the West for
standard bearer. II the New York
report is true. therefore the story has
certainly commanded credenco there-Gov-
ernor Hill has arrived at the same conclusion.
and has decided to act accordingly. He has
evidently felt the public pulse quite thorough
ly, and is satisfied that tho effect of his re-
naming in the field can only be unfortunate.
and that the Democracy Of the country are
fully determined that their motto in the next
convention will be "either Cleveland or some
Western man."
That Governor Hill. when he became con-
WINGED that this was the true status of affairs.
would promptly withdraw from the contest
no one has ever seriously doubted. He is
laudably ambitious, of course, to enjoy the
highest honor that can be conferred on any
American citizen-to be made ruler of the
greatest Republic on the earth. But, at the
same time, his loyalty to the Democratic
party has never for a moment been ques-
toned, and no one who understands his true
character can believe that. merely to crafty
his personal ambition he would do anything
which would threaten his party with demoral-
ization and disaster.
Should Governor Hill then determine for
the good Of his party to withdraw all factious
in opposition TO the will of the Democracy at
large, he will do a patriotic and sensible act.
Thon the delegation from New York 10 the
nominating convention will bs practically
unit for Cleveland. and the South and West
will come forward heartily to his support.
and as in tho convention Of 1889, he will carry
of the honors on tho first ballot. Then the
Democracy Of the country will be unitod.
and with Cleveland as the pioneer and cham
pion Of tariff reform at tho head Of
the ticket, and with q good West
ern man Governor Campbell, of
Ohio. for instance. If he beats Mckinley in
the second place there would be no doubt as
10 the result The Democracy would win
with rush. and another four years of Glenn.
healthy administration Of public affairs for
the many and not for the few, would be assured.
Neither would the commendable course of
Governor Hill be forgotten, and he
would find that in 'gG, if he still lived no man
in the country would have better prospects
than he for the Presidential succession.

his teeth and lodging somewhere in
the back part of his mouth. The
wounded man wheeled and started
to run along the end of the house,
and the sheriff followed him, firing
as rapidly as he could, but none of
the shots took effect.
Some one shouted to the sheriff
to look out, and turning, he saw
Tarr, the man on whom he had

pointed both his revolvers at him,
and Tarr retreated. By this time

at once quelled the rioters, and the
sheriff and his deputies proceeded
to the work of evicting, and in a

effects of thirteen strikers were
piled in front of SO many houses.
The sheriff and his deputies,
accompanied by the militia, then
