VIRGINIA
The Board of Managers Of Virginia's |
Worlds Fair Association have appointed
Dr. John s. Apperson, of Marion, Va as
their Executive Business Commissioner
for the State. His duty will be to visit
every county in the State, to work up
the different exhibits and have charge
of the same to superintend the expendi /
ture OF the $35 600 voted by the legisla
ture, AMI have gene raj and active charge
of preparing and transporting Virginia's
exhibit.
Those members of the State auxiliary
board repre- senting Norfolk have met in
that city and permanently organized
with Major A. Myers as president. The
plan ado 3ted by the State Board for the
guidance of the auxiliary boards in the
different cities and counties of the State
provided that the managers in each con
gressional district should call as soon as
practicable meeting of the members of
GIle AUXILIARY OOdIu VI itS ulStTlCt, tlet
the necessary officers, and that reports
should be made through the managers
for the district to the State board of
managers of the progress of the work
from time to time in the respective cities
and counties. The work in the Norfolk
organization has been apportioned out
among persons covering all the city, and
an effort will be made not only to assist
to the greatest possible extent in furth-
ering the States exhibit TT Chicago, but
also to see that the city of Norfolk and
all it's interests are properly represented.
1t is probable that there will be a joint
organization of the district boards of
Norfolk, Portsmouth, Norfolk county
and Princess Anne for the promotion of
common interests. Mrs. j. Y. Leigh
stated that she had been in correspon-
dence with b. F. Eakle, of the Green
brier White Sulpher Springs, in refers
ence to having Columbian ball at that
place for the benefit of the State build
ing fund, and she also suggested the ads
visibility of holding such balls and en-
tertainments at all the Virginia seaside
and summer resorts during the coming
season for the same purpose.

The Delta Oh that Surplus.
Baton Rouge Capital Item.

Baton Rouge Capital Item.
This very active and partizan journal
is still larping on this subject which we
thought had been worn threadbare dur
ing the recent State campaign.
The relation of few facts may serve
to call the attention OF the Delta TO some
Inconsistencies it should clear up before
it goes any further into discussion OIL
this subject.
A plank in the platform adopted by
the State House convention last Decehl-
Der, said there was IN the State leasu[y'
at flat time, Il surplus OF SGOO,OOO. I'D
an editorial the Delta, few days after
thn convention, said, at the close of the
wear ending Dec. 81, 1891, there would
be in the Treasury surplus OF SGOO,-
600.
The Delta and its friends throughout
the State, during the late campaign, SAID
there was at the credit of the General
Fund Il surplus Of from 100000 to
100000.
Captain Steele, in his speeches, stated
that the general Fund surplus amount,
ed to $4,000 and the interest tax fund
for all wears, from 1880 to 1890, lnclu-
sive, amounted to about $4,000, MAX
ing total actual surplus less than $780,
600. In his Pixies Hall speech he relt-
Grated this statement and produced Il
statement from tho then State Treas
urer Pipes), that there was but SoO?,-
coo in the State Treasury Oh January
1st last. -.
The Delta, and not the ex-Auditor,
has misled tho public. Let our esteem
ed contemporary own up.
At the time these statements were
made no 1891 taxes, nor 1892 licenses,
had reached the Treasury, therefore
could not be considered when discuss
inc the then condition of the Treasury.
1t was also said that, at the close OF
tho Nichols administration in May last,
there would be surplus of over $780,
600.
Thus tho Delta disputed the correct
ness of its own editorials and the plat
form of its faction.
The ex-Auditor took issue with them
and said the actual surplus III May lS9S
would be but a little over $500 900.
The books of the present Auditor and
Treasurer verify every statement made
by Capt. Steele, and displovc the state
mcnts of the Delta, and the statement
of that paper last week that the surplus
now is 100000.
The Delta's statement last week dis
proves the statements made 10y it and
by'its friends during the recent cam
paign and places it and them in the at
titude of the man who delivered an ar
gument in favor of Il motion and then
voted against the motion without ad-
vancing a reason for doing SO.
A journal like the Delta ought to give
! only correct statements relating to so
important u matter, and shOnld try to
build up the States credit instead ofIn-
dulging in petty partlzan Statements
which are only calculated to keep alive
past political differences.
If the Delta questions the correctness
of our statements let it say SO, and par
ticularize. We have files of that paper
and can quote prpof of what we have
said. Silence on the part of the Delta
| will be construed to mean that it does
not believe can honest confession is
good for the sOul.'

Millionaires Must Pay Up.

Col. Oates, of Alabama, who has in
uoduced II bill to tax incomes, says he
is every bit in earnest in suggesting the
measure, but he does not expect action
thereon at this session. "The House.
though" he said, must be educated up
to the proposition. 1t is beyond ques-
ton that the rapid and heavy increase
in pension payments will have to be
provided for in some form, as the re-
ceipts OF the government will not be
sufficient to cover the legally required
expenditures, and see no better way
to supply the deficiency than to tax in
comes. Ny bill taxes no annual income
below $4,000. The average man has
small property rights, aud hence should
not be- heavily taxed for its protection,
but the millionaire does require prOtec-
ton, as in the case of Mr.. Carnegie, who
would have soldiers called out to pro-
tect his interests, and should be made
to largely bear the burdens of govern
ment. A man who has an income of
100000 or more should be willing to
part with one-foultl of it to guarantee
the safety of the remaining three
fOurths. Another thing, with such an
income tax safe aud sure method can
be provided to meet the cost of increas-
ing rolls, and the money will come out
OF the pockets OF those who will least
feel the tax burden"
Col. Oates says Congress has got to
come to it and might as well face the
music first as last.

The American Legion of Honor.

The American Legion of Honor pays
death benefits, $1,000 to $4,000, pays
weekly sick benefits, 81. 90 to $4,000, and
has an Emergency Fund of S57G,O1j AZ.
BY becoming member of the Amcri-
can Legion of Honor you lay by for the
future inconsiderable sums, that in a
ncedful hour will become d bulwark
and defence.
1t would be wiser to join the order to-
day and think it over tomorrow than to
think it over today and join tomorrow.
There are thousands to whom tO-mOr-
row never comes.
The peace of mind, consequent upon
the protection afforded by the Amerl-
can Legion of Honor, is not the least
contributing factor to the attainment Of
a round old age.
The dividend is large enough to pay
your September assessment. 1t amounts
practically to no assessment for Septem-
Der for the old members.
The man who seeks to protect his
family against the pccuniary loss which
they would sustain in the event of his
death, experiences more favorable con-
ditions as member of the American
Legion of Honor than under any other
plan,

Go, feel what | have felt;
Go, bear what have borne;
Sink meath blow Il father dealt,
And the cold, proud worlds scorn;
Then struggle on from year to year,
Thy sole relief the scaldln5 tear.
Go, weep as have weep
DER a loved fathers fall
See every cherished promise swept,
Youths sweetness turned to gall;
Hopes faded flowers strewcd all the way
That led me up to WoInanS day
Go kucc as | have knelt-
ImplOre, besCCch and pray,
Strive the hCsottcd heart to melt,
The downward course to stay;
BE cast with bitter curse aside =
Thy prayers burlcsuued, thy tears dcticd.
Go stand where have stood,
And see the strong man bow;
with crashing teeth, lips bathed i'll blood,
And cold and lVid brow =;
Go catch his wandering glance and see
There mirrorcd his souls misery.
Go, hear what have heard
The Sobl of sad despair,
AS nemory's feeling font has stirred,
And its revealinSs there
Have told him what he might have been
Had lie the drunkards fate fOrc6een.
Go to my mothers side,
And her crushed spirit cheer;
Thine own deep anguish hide,
Wipe from her cheek the tear;
Mark her tlinmed eye, her GurroWed brow,
The gray that strCaks her dark hair now,
Tie toil-worn frame, the trembling limb,
And trace the ruin back to him
Whose plighted faith in early youth
Promised eternal love and truth,
But who, fOrcSWorn, has yielded up
This promise to the deadly cup,
And led her down from love III hight,
From all that made her pathway bright.
And chained her there, and want and strife,
That l0Wly thing; drunkard's wife
And stamped on chidhood's brow so mild
That whitening blight-a drunkard's child!
Go, hear and see and feel and know
All that my soul has felt and known;
Then look within the winc-cups glow
See if its brightness can atone;
Think if its flavor you would try,
If al! proclaimed, Ills drink and die.
Tell INC hate the bowl
Hate is Il feeble word;
lUathe, detest, abhor, my very soul
BY strong disgust is stirred
Whenever see or hear or tell
OF the dark beverage of hell.

Poultry.

The poultry houses should he white
washed outside aud in at least twice |,
year. This should be. done thoroughly.
Lime is cheap, aud the time and labor
required is inConsiderablC.
Boxes full or partly full of dry road
dust arc very important appendages to
q poultry yard. They arc the batll-tub
to the chickens. Everybody knows this
fact, and yet we will venture the state
mcnt that no one chicken raiser in ten,
the country over, has made any such
provision for the comfort and health of
his fowls.
In egg farming the profit consists in
having the fruit of the bird when it is
scarce and dear. In summer eggs are
worth eight to ten cents per dozen in
winter, about three times eight. This
difference ought to be sufficient to cause
people interested to take the necessary
steps to have winter crop of eggs for
market every year.
Most diseases in chickens are due to
lice. In all cases if you are in doubt
about tho diagnosis, consider that
it is lice, and you will be right nine
times in ten. To determine the MAJ
ter finally, part the feathers on the
head and look carefully. Also ex-
anime for tho eggs on the small
feathers on the under side of the wings.
Kerosene emulsion freely applied will
remove them.

Guard Well Our Portals.

Baton Rouge Advocate.
During the deliberations of the Sixth
Congressional Committee meeting last
Monday, Judge S. M. McLaurason, in
discussing the Capitalization " resolu-
ton offered by Mr.. Hyams and the sub
stitute offered by Mr.. Adams, said -.
"The members of the Farmers ALI
ance of my parish are as good Democrats
as am but we have been told by Capt.
Adams and MIR. Lafargue that IN certain
sections Of the State some trouble has
been had in Keeping number of them
in line. Now, sir, have simply this to
saw: If there are amy set OF men among
lis who are not in accord with the prln-
ciples, and who have no sympathy with
the Democratic party, the sooner we
find it out tho better 1t Will be tor MS.
We should not allow men to participate
in our councils who arc cndeavOrInS to
disrupt the party"
No one can question the absolute fair
ness and correctness Of the above posi-
ton. Imagine a Third Party advocate
sitting in council with Democrats, vOt-
ing upon questions involving the sue
cess and welfare of the Democratic
party! Imagine a supporter OF candl-
date Weaver, the man who III 1871 SAID {:
"No Republican can ever, under any
circumstances, nave any Part vi loC Will
the hungry, rebellious, man hating, wo-
man selling gang corporated under the
name Of Democracy, name so fuli OF
stencil and poison that 1t should be blot
ted from the vocabulary OF civilized
man, and handed over to the barbarlsm
that it fifty now aud in all the past has
represented" Imagine, we say, the sup
polters of such man sitting i'll the
councils of Democracy and voting upon
questions of party policy!
No; such political idiocy Or coWardlce
should cease. Let lis tell these people
who are preaching the gospel of calam-
ity and bewailing the miseries OF the
country to look upon the platforms OF
the various political parties and take
their honest choice, and whichever way
| they choose let them go.
The differences between the political
parties of the Union are plain and I'M
mistakabIc. No one need err. The De-
mocracy is IA party OF principles. 1t So
licits the cooperation and membership
Of all honest men, but it cannot afford
| to allow its enemies to regulate or even
suggest questions of party policy.

Ground out by Gin Mills.

Among the regular grist of suicides,
murders and other crimes ground out
by the rum mills of New York city and
vicinity during the last few days sever
al cases arc worthy of special note.
One was that of exCOngressman Hop
kins, who was found dead in a ditch
one morning Oh the New Jersey mead
oWs. His friends say that he uudoubt-
eddy committed suicide in Il fit of de
pondency caused by drink. He had
been on a down grade for several years
aud was a physical and mental wreck.
Another case was that of Il wife sick
with consumption and near to death
who was set upon and pounded and
kicked 'nt0 Inconsistencies by her
drunkeE husband because she did not
comply wt.:t his demands for money,
This same fiend also took his tive-year
old child aud held it against hot stove
until one of its limbs was literally
roasted. A third case was that of a wo-
man, in Brooklyn who stabbed her
brother TO the heart in IL wrangle over
a keg OF beer Another was that of a
woman, who was found by policeman
bleeding aud unconscious, hanging by
her clothes from a fire escape, where
she had been thrown Ivy her husband
after beating. He was found drunk
on the floor inside.
Still another case was that of "a man
who came home drunk, and in fit of
jealous and causeless rage threw a
lighted lamp at lis young wife. 1t
knocked her down and the lighted oil
flew over her whole body. In mo-
nieDt she was blazing bundle, and re-
gaining her feet ran shrieking TO the
streets where she WAS caught and car
ried to a neighborihg house, the flames
having been quenchet. She was how
ever horribly burned on every part of
her body and six hours later died in
terrible agony. Do we need to look for
savages in Africa or fends in hell who
are Capable of more awful deeds than
these ?-Christian at Work.
