THURSDAY EVENING, SEPT. /, 1892.

A NORTHERN republican newspaper
saws: The democrats, in Congress and
out. used every ende;,vor to bring dis
credit upon the President for MS con-
duct during the Chilian trouble growing
ont of the Baltimore affair." There
never was a more erroneous statement,
but truth is not matter of much con-
Germ to such papers. So far from en-
deavoring 10 bring discredit upon the
President. for his conduct in the Gillian
affair, were the democrats in Congress,
that the democratic committee onforeign
affairs of the democratic U. 5. House
of Representatives pigeon-holed Mr..
Brcckinridge's resolution calling for all
the correspondence in the CHILEAN affair,
lest its passage, as Mr.. Blount, demo
crat, of Georgia, chairman OF that com
mittee, said, might embarrass the adj
ministration, though it was well-known
that that correspondence would have
shown that the President was informed
that Chill had apologized and offered
PREPARATION before he sent his lingo mes
sage to Congress.

LURAY, Va, Aug. 31.-The Shenan-
doah Baptist Association, composed OF
twenty churches and including the ter
ritory from Rockingham county at
Elkton to Mart;nsburg, w. Va, met in
Luray to-day ut the Main street Baptist
Church, and will continue for three
days. A large number Of members are
already here and the attendance will
be unusually large The denomina-
ticn at this place is by far the largest in
the town and is in n most prosperous
condition. Rev. II. J.. Qua.e is the
pastor, and his church numbers $50
members and is steadily increasing.
Minor Bolts Lewis, Of Harrisonburg,
has taken charge of the office Of Depu-
ty Collector in place Of L. 7. Broyles,
resigned, and has moved his headquar-
tiers to Harrisonburg. Mr. Broyles
sent in his resignation few days after
the wounding Of Mr.. Snyder. Mr..
Broyles is now on bail and his case will
not come before the Court till the Oc-
tober term. Marshall Mccormick and
Holmes Conrad are retained as his
counsel. Mr.. Snyder's condition seems
to change for the worse. His wound is
healing nicely and his physicians think
there will be no further trouble as to
the physical recovery of their patient,
but there is serious trouble mentally
Mr.. Snyder has been conscious only for
a short while since wounded and he
is now in most unfortunate condition.
Symptoms of the worst character have set in,
and at times he requires not only constant
watching but restraint. This may be caused
by the healing process which is going on so
satisfactorily, and may subsiGe IS the wound
heals. Hope is entertained by all that he
my ligc and be restored TO his family AID
friends in the full vigorof his youth and mani
hood Mr.. Snyder had but just started on
what promised to be life Of success and use
rulness. and we trust he may shortly take it
up again. and realize the fullest the expecta-
tions of his friends.
A good rain last night put an end we trust
to the the drouth, though our crop Of corn
will be short one.
The season has been poor one, and the
farmers will not realize much from this years
crops.
The third party is doing what it can here
but in quiet. subdued, sort of way that
promises but little so far as we can see, save
the satisfaction to those who have it in charge
ofknowing they belong TO it. There will be no
further increase to the few who belong to it
in Page, and there is no fear that its members
will become even suggestive of harm to the
democratic party here. 3.

WITH INTERNATIONAL communica-
ton so direct, close, frequent and vari-
Gus, as it now is, the talk about ex-
Guiding disease by laying an embargo
upon it is absurd. Cholera is one of
the oldest described scourges, always
originating in the far, but not the farthest
East, and spreading gradually over the
West. There is no specific cure for it..
But cleanliness in premises as well as in
person, and carefulness in diet, are ex-
cellent preventives, and heroic doses of
quinine and laudanum are the best
known remedies.
