Increase OF Tobacco Tax-The Tariff
The people OF Virginia must not hatter
themselves that there is no danger Of
an Increase In the tobacco tax to be levied
under the internal-reycnue laws. The
proposition to resort again 10 the high
tax upon that commodity which was
80 odious 10 the tobacco-planters as long
az they were compelled TO pay II. is not
only made seriously. but Is advocated by
msn protesting 10 be Democrats. II Is a
proposition which no southern man ought
for n moment to entertain. but which. we
are sorry to say. many southern men who
have become fanatics on the protection
question seem TO be ready 10 advocate
and vote for. The Bedford Democrat
says on this subject:
The Richmond Dispatch warns south
ern congressman that a movement Is on
loot among their colleagues from New
England TO raise the tax on tobacco TO
compensate for the reduction in the tariff
This. Of course will be pushed by the
wealthy classes OF the North. who are
opposed 10 AN income tax. as the latter
would affect their pocket-boOks, and the
average millionaire thinks that anything

of a uniQtle souvenir. At night they all
went by invitation of Colonel Cody TO see

three others. Yesterday there were three
receptions rendered and accepted, one at
Ceylon, where the distinguished Virgin

RESCUED AT LAST.

The State of Nebraska appeared last
Friday afternoon stcaming along the
northward course. The fishermen waved
signals Of distress. and then rowed as
fast as their feeble strength would per-
nit them toward the steamship The
State Of Nebraska stopped her engines
and waited The dory come alongside.
The fishermen dropped their oars and fell
falnting and exhausted in the bottom Of
the boat.
4 seaman went down the accommoda-
ton ladder of the State Of Nebraska. and
passed ropes around the insensible men,
and Abbott and Porter were hoisted on
deck. They were revived by restoratives,
and broth was given TO them. 1t was sew
eral days before they could eat ordinary
food
How far they drifted IS not exactly
known When the State OF Nebraska
picked them up they were in latitude II
degrees - minutes and longitude 81 de-
grecs The dory was many miles from
the cruising grounds ,of the fishing
smacks.
The men will be sent back to Newfound-
land by the British Consul.

FOR FIVE DAYS WITHOUT FOOD
Two Famish Fishermen Picked Up In
I.aha naat hx a Stnamar.

Leaky Boat by n steamer.
There came here on Tuesday on the
AlIan-State Line steamer State OF Ne
braska two haggard fishermen, says the
New York Herald. They had been picked
up far out at sea. In Ii leaking dory they
had toIled and struggled for five days
without food and drink. The men were
Frederick Abbott and Job Porter, or the
fishing schooner Poppy. which halls from
Catalina, Newfoundland
The Poppy was off the Banks Of New
foundland on September nth. Abbott and
Porter went out at 4 o'clock In the morn
ing of the following day to take In some
lines which had been set the day before
a mile from the schooner. In the gray
fog the fishermen missed their way. They
failed to find the buoy to which their lines
we're attached and lost their bearings.
When the fog lifted tina men could see
no sign OF the schooner For hVe days
they drifted at ths mercy Of the wind
and sea. Through loose seams the water
trlckled into their dory and kept them
baiIlng day and night. They had no time
TO rest and no place TO sleep. They had
not so much as a biscuit TO eat, and not
q drop of fresh water
CRUELTY LEFT TO THEIR FATE.
They were alone upon the waters until
Tuesday. Then n big steamer came hur-
rying over the eastern brim, and bore
down toward them The fishermen strrg-
eled to their feet waved their hats and
coats and shouted The vessel went
plunging past them within n few cable
lengths She passed so near that the
frail dory was almost swamped in the
steamships wake. She was so close that
the fishermen could see the crew upon her
decks crowdlng about the rail. The
steamship took no notice OF the signals
OF the unfortunate men. She left them
to the pangs of hunger. thirst. and de-
spair.
The sea was merciful TO them. The
waters were smooth and the winds were
light The weak and famished men had
hardly strength enough 70 keep the boat
above water. They sat there taking turns
at baillng Sometimes they told each other
stories Of the sea, or they talked OF their
boyhood days I'm the little fishing village
whence they came. They tried hard TO
keep up their spirits and to avoid going
TO sleep. To have slept in that boat
would have been tempting death. On the
evening Of September 2lst another
steamer came along. II was getting dark
when the lights of a big ocean liner
went past them The fishermen cried for
help. Their voices were drowned in the
roars Of the waters.
