POLITICAL.

Mr.. Jno. l.. Degge, in charge OF
the democratic headquarters at Nor
folk, writes to this oti,c.: We are
going to elect Tyler to Congress.
A dispatch from Richmond to a re-
! publican paper says Republicans are
now confident OF elcctiug their candi-
dates in The First, Second and Fourth
districts: that is, they count on
getting independent anti-tlemocrats in
those districts, and in weakening the
democratic national ticket consider
ably" This shows how the Virginia
farmers are being fooled by the repub-
licans.
Ten thousand men attended demos
cratic meeting at Homestead Pa, on
Saturday night. They were mainly
steel-workers from Pittsburg, Browns
vile and Duluesne. Dozens of them
who had voted the straight republican
ticket from the time they cast their first
ballot stepped up and pledged them
selves to support Cleveland and Steven
son this year and the democratic prin-
ciple of tariff for revenue only.
The New York democratic State COM
m:ttee. which has not been doing much
in the way of claiming, has reports from
all the counties, which show that there
are from $4,000 to 10000 more demo
cratic than republican voters. Unless
this majority is converted by some
means before November S, the demo
cratic State committee cannot sec how
New York can be lost 10 Cleveland ana

cry in any quarter. The men who
were most conspicuous in their hostll-

ranks in that State as far as can be

THE FORCE BILL.-The National Re
publican of Washington of Thursday
IulyS3, 1890, said
"When through the operation Of the
Lodge national election law six or seven
southern States shall discard demo-
cratic rule, we shall look confidently to
see some measure of justice done the
blacks who have been so long defraud-
ed of their rights. Heavy taxes should
be laid upon the property of the whites
to develop and extend the public school
system in those States, separate schools
for the two races should be abolished,
and the plan of bringing the youth OF
both colors into close and equal rela-
tons in schools and churches given
fair trial, rs one Of the most potent ele-
ments to break down the detestable
Bourbonism of the South. The right
of the black to bear arms should be
guaranteed to him, as we'll as all the So
cial rights intended to be secured him by
the passage of the 14th and 18th amend
Tnants 70 the Constitution. The State laws
arainst the intermarriage Of the races should
be repealed. and any determinations against
the black in the the matters oflearning trades
or obtain employment should be made crimi-
nal offence. while the colored mans right to
shold office should be sacredly protected and
recognized. A few years of this policy will
solve the race problem satisfactorily. The
talk of southern democratic Congressman in
the House on Lodges national election law
hin reminds one of the fiery diatribes Of
southern representatives just before the war.
But the plantation whip was cracked in vain
this time. 1t has been long time since then
and the world-all but the southern section
of the United States-has grown wiser

ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA.
MONDAY EVENING, OCT. "a, 1892.

WIEN THE wife or daughter of q rich
man goes into a shop and buys heavy
black silk, silk velvet, seal skin and
silk Innings, sheis informed by the shop
keeper that these articles are low
priced because there is either no tariff
tax on them, or that the tax has been
reduced, or that it is the same it was
before the passage of the Mckinley bill.
When poor mans wife OF daughter
goes to the same shop and buys alpaca
silk, cotton velvet, imitation seal skin
and cotton Innings, the shop-keeper tells
her those articles are nigh because the
Mckinley bill imposes a tariff tax on
them of from &c to 2S5 per cent. And
what he tells her is true. There are a
thousand poor, to one rich woman,
and women rule the men.

Judge Coolcy,s Position.

NEW YORK, Oct. 24-Thc Erening
Post to-day prints the following news
of Judge Cooley's position in tn am
oaign: The report first published by
the Detroit Free Press, that cx-Judge
Thomas NJ. Cooley had determined to
vote for Cleveland has been denied Wig
orously in many republican quarters
and the Chicago Inter Ocean has gone
so far as to print dispatch from Ann
Harbor in which Mr.. Cooley was cred
tied with saying that the report was
entirely unauthorized and without
foundation" In order to get at the
truth in the matter, we wrote to a
member of the faculty of the Uniyer-
sity of Michigan asking him TO give us,
if he were able TO do so, the facts in
the case. His letter, received this
morning, contains the following ::
Judge Cooley authorizes Inc to say to
you that he stands by the statement
published in the Detroit Free Press
and that the supposed dispatch Of the
Mter-Ocean is wholly false. He is will
ing you should say, if you care to, that
he does not believe in the Mckinley
bill, and that he expects to vote for
Cleveland. He is entirely unwilling to
publish letter or to take any active
part in the campaign"

Two HUNDRED DRowNED.-A most
appalling calamity has befallen the vii
lagc of San Speratc, situated a short
distance from Cagliari, Sardinia. is es-
timated that no fewer than 200 of the
villagers have been drowned. The flood
swept through the village with sudden
fury. and in moment the streets be-
came rivers that carried everything be-
fore them. Houses were lifted from
their foundations and carried whirling
down by the flood. Their occupants
did not have an opportunity to attempt
to save themselves Many OF them
were asleep when the torrent carried
off their houses, and were awakened
only to find themselves struggling in
the water. Men, women and children
were drowned, and not single effort
could be made to save them. so sudden
was the disaster. Half the houses in
the village were swept away: The
place is isolated by the flood, and access
to it is very difficult.
