To he Editor of he dispatch:
Replying to the communication in SUM-
days DISPATCH signed Druggist" beg
to say that am employed in pharmacy
on each side of which is o grocery. The
proprietors and assistants who conduct
these stores sell on Sunday such articles
as wood, COAL milk, oil. sugar. bacon, fish.
and candy. Nor are these the only cases
which 1 can cite. Now, if grocers thus
violate the law when they are not only not
required but prohibited from keeping
open their stores on the Sabbath, why
may not the poor druggist sell such arti-
Giles when he pleases2 He is forced to ac-
commodate the public with medicines
night and day throughout the week, his
sales are very light, and he has to compete
with dry goods and grocery stores. Shall
they (the latter 60 in peace and the for

A DRUG CLERK.
TO the Editor of the Dispatch:
Why do people rail at druggists for SELL
ing on Sunday other articles than medI-
cines? II is o fact well-known 10 myself
that grocers here in Richmond are guilty
of the same offence--only they are little
less open concerning the matter-they sell
behind closed, but not locked. doors.
Druggists are required both by law and
custom to dispense medicines year in and
year out. The grocer. however. is, be-
lieve, prohibited by law from selling his
wares on the Sabbath, Notwithstanding
which, he even goes so far as to sell on
that day soda one of the officinal sub
stances of the United States pharmaco-
ppia, thus competing with the much
abused pill-roller. Now. would 1t not
be well to restrict the grocers before in
terfering with the druggists +?
As to conversation in drugstores sug-
gest that missionary be employed in
each one to demonstrate with all who in
these shrines speak an idle word"
By publishing this you will oblige q
number of druggists who do not believe
two wrongs make right" JUSTICE.

An Address to the Democratic Voters OF
the Second Congressional District

HEADQUARTERS
DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE,
OF THE SECOND CONGRESSIONAL
DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA, NORFOLK, VA.
To the Voters of he Second Congressional Dis
t,ict Of Virginia:
In obedience to official duty the Demo-
cratic committee of this district respect
fully invites your attention TO the pending
national contest:
The two parties which are prominently
before the people are the same that have
opposed each other for more than quar-
ter of a century. One of them-the Re-
publlcan--has for thirty-two years had
control of either the legislative or execu-
tive branch of the government. and fire.
quertly during that period has had con-
troll of both. While often the minority
party. it has by fraud, bribery, and cor
ruption managed to maintain its hold
upon the presidency, or at least one house
of Congress. and thus to obstruct every
measure of relief that has been suggested.
1t has enjoyed every opportunity of
making the laws, and has mapped out aud
established the governmental policy. Ii
stands before the people responsible for
existing conditions.
The result of its policy has been wide
spread disaster.
In commerce tho American flag, and
with it. the American seaman, have been
driven from the seas.
In mining and manufactures labor is OBJ
pressed and disconnected. It's wrongs in
two Of the States--Pennsylvania and Ten
nessee-have marshalled the forces OF in
surrection and plunged communities into
war.
In agriculture, the pursuit of the vast
majority of our fellow-citizens content
ment has vanished from among the people.
and poverty and want have taken its place
Time was when the farmer had all the
comforts and many Of the luxuries of life.
He went light-hearted to his labors and
reaped abundant harvests for his reward.
He sold them in markets which Afforded
HIM handsome returns. He educated his
children, and, in the enjoyment of q lot
with few anvieties--in the peace and han
piness Of his home--he realized the truest
Independence of the American freeman.
But now his conditions have entirely
changed. Instead OF free man he has bs-
come slave to economic conditions. His
former Independence but mocks his pres
ent humiliation. Nature may stlll respond
duce abundant harvests, but his govern
ment has closed against HIM the arkets
of the world. He sells in market de-
pressed by law apd receives price dimiu-

Choose We This Day Whom Ye VIII Serve
Democracy or Plutocratic Tyranny.
tFor the Dispatch.l

Listen, ye misguided men of the Third
party, to the words OF wisdom from the
Father of his Country. AS in the days OF
the prophet Elijah still. small voice out
of the whirlwind spoke to the children of
Israel, 30 in these latter days still, small
passion speaks to the people of this great
silent tomb at Mt. Vernon speaks
to the people of the North, as
well as to the people of the South.
The Father of his Country in his immortal
farewell address, observing the decadence
and instability of republics In the past,
the seeds of decay lay chiefly In the cor
Yuption produced by the rule of opulence
and the undue influence exercised by the
improper use of wealth, implored his
countrymen to preserve their integrity and
not to listen to that siren voice Of luxury
which sounds the death-knell of patriot
ism. This truly great man knew whereof
he spoke. Nearly 100 years have rolled
by, and what do we. see? A frightful
see the ballot-box debauched and the voice
OF the people throttled. We have seen an
entire State delivered up to bribery and
corruption. And worst OF all. o, pitiable
and lamentable sight we see an attempt
being made by the party in power TO bind
IN shackles OF iron nearly one half OF the
republic, so that, bound hand and foot,
oppressed, and down. trodden, like the He
brews IN Egypt, they may become hewers
OF wood and drawers of water for their
cruel oppressors. And who are the
msirstay and supporters of this
horrible scbemef None other than the
wealthy protected manufacturers OF the
North. One of the chief organs Of this ina
Quitous party. the Philadelphia Press. has
recently declared that tia similar 10 ae
Lodge biu ahould Be enacted and enforced, and
that ne people of ne South aaos,M haze some
Mtsag else TO 0snk about besides competing Nth
ne tceahAy North. o, spirit of the Immortal
Washington, would not thine owes weep
tears Of blood IL thou couldst arse
from the tomb and behold the shame
full spectacle? Come back, We way
yard Third party men, come back.
Be not led astray BY designing
demagogues. who. TO carry out Their nefa-
rious designs, would pull down the pillars
OF the social fabric and involve all in one
common ruin. The crucial test has ar
rived. Choose 70 this DAY whom We will
serve. Will you serve those who would
bind you hand and foot. or will you obey
the call Of duty and firmly resolve to be
patriots and freemen! .. my countrymen,
make the wise choice. knowing full we'll

which two Of the prominent clergymen of

Of Boston, and the Rev. DR.. Mcvicker, of

to England. En- route they determined
that when they should reach that coun-
try they would travel apart, lest
three such tall men together might
provoke remark. But arriving ct q
well known town in Yorkshire and learn
ing that lecture on America was 20 be
delivered to workingmen, they determined
to be present. Entering the hall separate
ly, they took seats apart. AS the lecturer
proceeded his utter ignorance of America
soon became manifest to the three Ameri-
cans. Finally. however. statement con-
absurd 90 be endured in silence. The
speaker had barely time to conclude q
sentence asserting that Americans are
proverbially snort of stature, never ex-
ceeding at the utmost FIVE feet ten inches,
when MIR. Robinson arose and said NV
friends, l. am an American. and, as Won
see, measure fully feet. If there is any
other American who happens Just now to
be in the house irequest him to stand up
An expression of surprise was followed by
roars of laughter as the Rev. Phillips
Brooks arose and said; ! am an American,
and my height, feet inches, occasions
no particular remark in Ameriea. If
there is any other American in the
house !, IN turn. request him to stand

but this Was too much. and he could not
get any further. The audience had lost all
