Another Letter from Gen. Rosscr.

Gen. Thomas L. Rosser, of Abe
marie, publishes letter in the Progress,
of Charlottesville, replying to an edi-
torial in that paper criticising letter
written by the General few days ago,
in which he strongly denounced the
conduct of the State democratic con-
vention and Colonel O'Ferrall. 1t is
thought by some that General Rosser
is leaning toward the populists, and
the leaders of that party are now talk
ing of running him for Congress this
fall. Notwithstanding this fact, Cen
eral Rosser, among other things, says ::
II know that am a democrat that
shall always adhere to the political
philosophy of Thomas Jefferson, and
will make any sacrifice for the good of
my country OF State or for Christian
civilization, but l will not push, pull
nor run with the political office-mak-
ing machine, which, under the drill
of corrupt men demanding party
fealty, is run in the interest of the
ringleaders who seek political ia
vors, honors and Office for revenue

with political hypocrites whose only
interest in the performance is the re-
ward opposite their name on the pub
lie payroll. Circumstantial evidence
is conclusive to my mind that the pres
ent organization of the so-called demo-
cratic party in the State of Virginia,
which is working in the interest of Mr..
O'Ferrall, is manipulated by the Cleve-
land O'Ferrall coalition.
"Call me a political rebel if you
please, and my answer is that the rebel
of the past, present and future are the
guardians Of my political principles.
To me the word rebel is the sweetest
word that ever fell from the lips of
truth. Let Mr.. O'Ferrall come for
ward like an honest man, if he is such,
and answer DR.. ]. Augustus Michie's
letter and show that he is gentleman
worthy to be honored as the first citi-
zen of the State before you ask gentle
men to vote for him for Governor"

ship of the committee on rules from
five to nine, was rejected.
Mr.. Hooker's amendment to increase
the membership to IL was also lost.
On motion of Mr.. Kilgore an amend
ment was adopted giving the commit
tee on ways and means jurisdiction
over all measures purporting to raise
revenue.
The purpose of the amendment is to
prevent such measures as the anti-op-
tions bill and the oleomargarine act
from being referred by the Speaker to
the committee on agriculture, as has
been done heretofore.
Mr.. Hooker moved to strike from
the rules the section which refers all
proposed action touching the order OF
business to the committee on rules.
This rule, he said would take from the
great standing committees of the House
all authority, and vest all power in one
committee, composed of five members.
1t simply meant to relegate to live
members all the powers of the House.
Fit were adopted the title of the COM
mittee on rules should be changed, and
it should be known as the steering
committee"
Mr.. Catchings denied the truth of
the declaration that under the propos-
ed rule the committee on rules could
control the other committees.
Mr.. Dearmond criticized the rules of
the 5lst Congress, but especially criti-
cized the decision of Speaker Reed be-
fore any rules had been adopted.
The Speaker had counted quorum in
total disregard of the general principles
of parliamentary law.
4 reference made by him to the de-
cision of the Supreme Court brought
Mr. Reed to his feet, who argued that
that court had sustained his action !;
and, he said, that the time would come
when even the gentleman from Mis-
souri, would understand what that de-
csion was.

Married Her own Rrother.

BRANTFoRD, Ont, Aug. 3l.-Violet
Buckingham, a young Irish woman,
about eighteen months ago was intro
duced to a young man, who said his
name was Edward TeZey, who had just
arrived from New Zealand, where he
had been soldier. The introduction
led to friendship which soon culmi-
mated in marriage. Shortly after the
wedding Mrs. Vezey sent her husbands
photograph to her uncle in Dublin, Ire
land, who recognized resemblance to
his nephew who was Violet's brother,
and whom she had not seen for twelve
years. The uncle's suspicious being
aroused, he invoked the aid of the au-
thorities to locate the soldier, whose
real name was Leopold Buckingham.
He was traced to Brantford where the
young wife made the terrible discovery
that she had married her own brother.
Buckingham had adopted the name of
Vezey in order to conceal his identity
from friends who opposed his enlist
ment. Vezey has suddenly disappear
ed and the woman is crazed with grief.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Aug. 31.-The
city council has passed q resolution in
structing the chief of police to suppress
the Little Rock Tribune. The Tribune
for about three months has waged bitter
warfare against the mayor, the board Of
aldermen and the police department.
1t charged that the administration
"stood in" with gamblers and the sa-
loon element and winked at vice in all
its phases. An alderman attacked the
editor in his Office few days ago and
broke two chairs over his head. Seven
attorneys have volunteered to assist in
his fight with the city. The chief of
police will arrest every person caught
attempting to sell the Tribune.

If THE tariff tax on the necessarles
of life be reduced, the revenue from
customs will, of course, be decreased,
aud money for the necessary expenses
of the government will have to be raised
in some other way and the millionaires,
fearing that the just and equitable
means of an income tax, are becoming
ratified, and are suggesting all sorts of
impracticable expedients, among them
the increase of the public debt by the
sale of government bonds. Of all the
acts of which the present Congress is
capable, none would be fairer and more
popular than the imposition of an in
come tax, and such tax would be
really not more ''inquisitorial" than
the customs or the internal revenue

THE REPUBLICAN protectionists with
one accord assert that the dread of free
trade is the cause Of the existing de-
preston of business, and appeal to Con-
rress for declaration to the effect that
the present tariff shall not be inter
fered with. The boarding of money is
the cause of the present depressed
condition of business, for products can
not be sold if there be no purchasers,
no matter whether they be made at
home or abroad, and if there be no de-
mand for them. there will of course be
none for the labor to make them. The
democratic party was entrusted with
the control of the government upon the
solemn promise it made to the people
that it would repeal the Mckinley bill,
and it shall repudiate that promise at
the demand OF the few rich men who
supplied the money for the republican
campaign, it will not only merit but re-
ceive the condemnation Of the many

Letter from Pace.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette
LURAY, Va, Aug. 29.-One Of the
most daring attempts to make crooked
whisky was accidentally exposed near
Ida, in Page county, few days ago.
by the burning of John Redmond'5
house. The neighbors who had Assem-;
bed to help at the fire were astODished
to find that John had had a regular
whisky still at work in the cellar and
that the hue from the furnace to the
main chimney of the house had fired
the flooring and caused the burning OF
his home. He had an ingenious outfit
and one that would not have attracted
notice nor invited the attention even
of his visitors. A tunnel to the mill
race, some yards off supplied the water
and another lower down carried of the
refuse. John has left.
The offer of Stanley to build new
courthouse and jail for the courthouse
and Jail for the county provided the
county-seat is moved to that village has
not been favorably acted upon by our

contract to repair and enlarge the red
courthouse has already been given TO
Mr.. Harvey Fristoe, and there the
matter will probably rest, unless stan
ley takes the matter into the courts

THERE SEEMS to be a concerted move
ment all along the northern lines for
the purchase of gold, by the issue of
gold bonds. The public debt has been
decreasing yearly, slowly, to be sure,
but still decreasing, for a quarter of a
century, and the right thinking people
of the country would hardly endorse an
administration that would in time Of
peace do anything to reverse that order
and inaugurate q policy by which it
would be increased. When the Senate
shall have concurred with the House
on the silver bill, "retrenchment and
reform" will be the only requisites for
the security of the currency.
