Met His Fate Calmly.

ROANOKE, Va, November 20. Henry
Nowlin, known as Butting Henry, was
hanged at Fincastle to-day for the mur-
der of an Italian stone mason named
Nasca at Buchanan Saturday night, An.
gust 9 Nowlin spent a restless night and
arose at o'clock. Again he told the
story of his crime to press representative,
and said that he had made bis peace with
God and was ready to die He seemed to
look forward to his fate as pleasure trip.
The death watch was to begin at III o'clock,
and the doomed man marched to the
scaffold with firm step.
The death warrant was read, and when
asked if be had anything to say, again
confessed his crime and related bis career,
attributing his end to disobedience to his
mother and keeping bad company. The
trap was sprung at Ills, and in eight
minutes lie was pronounced dead, the neck
having been broken. The body was cut
down at 1l:50 and turned over to his
family. There was no hitch anywhere,
and the execution passed off quietly. 1t
was private, and witnessed only by the
Jury and reporters and those officiating.

Making the Issue.

fla party dominates Henry George it
thereby declares itself in favor of the
single tax. If party dominates Neal
Dow it thereby declares itself IN favor Of
prohibition. If the Democrats in the
Fifty second Congress nominate Roger @.
Mills for Speaker, they will thereby de-
clare themselves IN favor of free trade.
No sane person supposes that if the
Democrats commit themselves consciously
or unconsciously to free trade, they will
have any chance of electing President.
If they elect Mr.. Mills Speaker they will
SO commit themselves, and all the ex-
plantations, resolutions, and platforms
that they can make in 1892 will produce
no effect upon the country and have no
validity in denial.
They will have made their platform, and
they will have to stand on it as they can.

Protection has a twofold obje ct-to
nrotect the homo market against foreign
cheap labor and competition, and to re-
ducc prices by stimulating domestic COM
petition. As against the clamor of free
traders that a protective tariff makes
evervthlnp dearer and thus rObs the
laboring mans earnings of their purchas-
ing power, there comes every now and
then the testimony of some practical bust
ness man to show up the fallacy OF these
assertions. The most recent contribution
in this line is from a commercial traveller
who for nearly half century has been
sailing glassware. He tells the New
York Press that in 1860 fine goblets sold
for 81 so and that the war raised the price
TO So. The same goblets can now be
boupht for seventy-fve cents. Tumblers
which thirty years ago sold for $l.1O can
now be bought for eighteen cents. This
gentleman further states that not only IS
there proportionate reduction in the
price of all kinds of glassware, but that
the goods manufactured in this country
are of a better quality than the European
goods at the same price. This, be it
remembered, in spite of all the glass trusts
and other combinations that so much has
been said about.
What would be the result if the free
traders could have their wayf The pro-
duct of cheap foreign labor would crowd
our markets domestic manufacturing
establishments would have to reduce
prices and pari passu their workingmen's
wages: domestic competition would be
reduced, aud in some instances probably
crushed out. This accomplished, the
foreign manufacturers would raise the
price of their wares, and Americans would
have to pay to foreigners more money Tor
Inferior goods than they now pay at home
for a superior article. This is no fancy
sketch. 1t is what the history Of this
country has proved over and oyer again.

so condensed AMI made portable that it is

II has been in use for more than twenty
years; thousands of patients have been
treated, aud oyer one thousand physicians
have used IL, and recommend it,-a very
significant fact
The great snccess Of our Treatment has
given rise to host of imitators, unscru-
pulous persons; some calling their prep
arations Compound Oxygen, often appro-
priatng our testimonials and the names
of our patients, to recommend worthless
concoctions. But any substance made

Virginia Forging Ahead.

BALTIMORE, Mp, Nov. 19.-The Manu-
facturerS' Record Of this week announces
that all arrangements have been COM
pleted for the establishment of four reg
ular steamship lines to be established
between Newport News, Va, aud Lon
don, Liverpool, Glasgow and Havre, and
that dates have been fixed for the sailing
of about twenty steamers on these lines
before the end of December, the aggre-
gate capacity of these twenty vessels
being about sixty thousand tons. Large
engagements Of grain, provisions, flour
and other merchandise are being made
in the west for shipment. The live
Liverpool steamers will BRING return
cargoes for western points, the intention
being TO develop the import as we'll as
the export trade. The Manufacturer
Record reports that it is rumOred that the
company establishing these lines has just
purchased three large steamships which
have been running between Boston and
Liverpool and will add them to the
Newport News service. This report is
strengthened by the fact that one of
these steamers sailed from Liverpool
yesterday with general cargo for New
port News. These will be the first regular
European steamship lines running from
any port south of Baltimore.

The Virginia Debt.

RICHMOND, VA, Nov. 19.-An agree
ment was reached between the Virginia
State debt commission and the Olcott COM
mittee, representing the foreign bondhold-
ers, at a late honr this evening. 1t pro-
vides that all bonds of the State not here
tofore funded in Riddleberger's shall be
Jumped IN o capital of SIS, Goo 600 bearing
2 per cent. interest for ten years and
per cent. for ninety years. This will make
the total Indebtedness of the State about
$2l 100000 as about S, 600, 600 has already
been funded in Riddleberger 3 per cent.
1t is expected that the Legislature and
the bondhOlders will probably ratlfy this
agreement and that the vexatious debt
problem will be finally settled.
The Baltimore San edltorally says:
"The gratifying announcement Is made
that the commission representing the
State of Virginia. and the bOndholders'
committee representing the holders of
bonds other than Riddlsbergers, have
agreed upon the terms o! settlement
satisfactory to both parties.
"This result has been reachedwith d1e
regard to the States ability to pay and
with an eye to the requirements of the
Riddleberger act According to the Nor
folk Virginian, the State can meet an in
terest charge of $4,000 year and have
$50, 900 to spare. Had the whole debt
been funded IN 1882 under the Riddleber
ger act of that year, the amount of new
bonds then issuable v ould have been
21.744, sci and the annual interest charge
S652, 800. The bondholiers sacrifice for
the sake of a settlement very large part
of the interest accrued since 1882
"a settlement so favorable to the State
will doubtless be welcomed by all Vin
ginians with sense of relief. Said Gov
vernon Mckinney, in his message to the
Legislature IN 1890 recommending the
appointment of a debt commission: IF
the bondholders propose terms not materi-
ally increasing the principal or interest as
certained by the Riddlcherger bill, it would
be we'll to require, as an indispensable
condition of considering ssch proposition,
and that it should embrace a bona .fde
tender of so large proportion of the con-
-ol and ten-forty bonds as to guarantee a
ttlement OF the whole debt if it should
H. accepted The conditions here pre-
scrbed have been cOnformed to. The
amount of principal and interest payable
under the Riddleberger bill has not been
materially increased and the bondhold-
ers are in a position to propose a lump
sum which shall conclude tie whole mat
ter. The State is to be congratulated on
so happy an Issue ont Of its long continued
financial troubles"

years ago there appeared splotch on the
corner of her nose which gradually in
creased IN size, aud became quite painful (;
on washing her face it would frequently

advised that it be removed by the knife or.

tinued to grow worse. After time she
commenced taking s. 8. s., which effected
an entire cure. She nsed half dozen
