Daniel, Massey and Pence Speak.

United Statas Senator John w. Dan

Gov. Massey addressed the people of
Charlottesville yesterday. Senator Dan

which he found Objectionable in every

silver. While discussing the question
of the unlimited issue of paper money

The people at an interest charge of .
per cent. General Rosser interrupted
by stating that it seemed to him that
the Senator had not correctly stated
The populist position. a reference to
the platform showed that the document
fixed no limit to the issue Of such notes.
The Senator asked with what this issue
of paper was to be redeemed, and Gen.
Rosser replied, perhaps in silver"
And in what will it be paid back 2"
asked the Senator, but there was no re-
ply. Senator Daniel said that the dem
Gratis who sought silver legislation b.
going into new party only embarrass
ed the friends Of silver and did more to
delay results than the republicans
While he was discussing State and na-
tional banks General Rosser asked if he
would allow these to do business side
by side. He replied that he would, bit
that it was only question of time
when the national bank notes would all
be cancelled and something would have
to be put in their place. 1t seemed ne
cessary, therefore, TO perfect State
bank system. a currency that is good
at home is good everywhere in these
DAYS of rapid transit and intercommu
aication His discussion of silver, which
was an abridged form Of his speech in
the Senate, pleased the few populists
present, but if they thought he was go
ing their way his closing showed them
they were in error. He described tina
party as one built on a single idea,
which was not enough to give it perma-
nence or strength. The democratic
party in Virginia would win, and de-
served to. The people could not forget
its record of century in fighting their
battles, and their admiration was ex-
cited by its glorious record.
Congressman Late Pence was intro
duced by General Rosser. His sails
were without favoring gales. Senator
Daniels speech left him little to say
except in praise of the Senator and in
mid denunciation of Mr., Cleveland.
Mr.. Massey referred to Maj. Daniels
statement that he had voted against the
Sherman law and had predicted the re-
suits which would follow its enact
n.ent, and said he (Massey) could
not quite understand why bad law
should not be repealed. He discussed
General Fields views and the vagaries
of the populist platform. He also an

Severe Storm.

A terrific storm struck New Orleans
late Sunday night, coming from the
northeast, and ragged all night and part
of yesterday, sweeping to the south
from along the line of the Mississippi
river, through the parish of Plaque
mine to the gulf.
The storm was one of the worst
which ever visited that part of the
county, and, as far as can be learned,
twenty-four or more persons were
killed and probably three times as
many wounded, some of them fatally.
The wind reached a velocity of
over sixty miles an hour. The crash of
sheds and buildings blown down, trees
torn up, and houses unroofed, caused
intense alarm, and most of the popula-
ton of the city remained up all night,
expecting houses to be blown down.
Among the buildings destroyed was
theSarapsru street market, which crush
ed several buildings in its fall. The
Burdette street mission church, the cot
ton yards OF the Northern Railroad,
the Pythian Hall, and a number OF
other building were unroofed.
The revetment levee or Lake Pont-
chartrain, which protect New Orleans
from overflow on the rear, was washed
away, the water sweeping over it fifteen
feet or more. Mang of the yachts
there were sunk or injured.
The parish seat of justice, Point Ia
Hache, a town of 1000 people, was the
worst sufferer. In that town not sim
gle house escaped injury. The court
house and Catholic Church, the princi-
pal buildings in the town, and some
twenty other buildings, were destroy
ed, and several persons were killed.
The loss of life is heaviest in PLAGUE
mine parish, and the fine orange crop
is ruined, causing loss of $4,000. 1t
is said that there is not an orange left
on the trees. and it is the same all the
way down the coast.

TUESDAY EVENING. ocr. 3, 1898.

THE DEMOCRATIC party won the sup
port of the people last November upon
certain plain and solemn promises,
among them the repeal of the federal
election law, the repeal Of the McKin-
lev bill. and the repeal of the Sherman
silver act. None of these promises has
vet been fulfilled, and, Judging from
present appearances, none will be, for
if a divided republican minority in the
Senate can delay action indefinitely
upon such non-partisan measure as
the silver bill, united republican mi
nority can certainly effect the same Oh
iect upon such distinctly partisan meas
ures as the tariff and election bills. 1t
seems therefore that the democratic
marty will make its next national cam
paign as the party Of broken promises,
and if so, it is needless to say that such
a party cannot expect the support OF
the men it has so grossly deceived. The
cardinal principle of democracy is that
a fair majority shall rule. There is no
doubt that the democrats have fairly
and legally elected majority in the SEN
ate, and yet, with such majority, they
allow a republican minority TO usurp
control of that body and to prevent
them from fulfilling the promises they
made to deceived, outraged and pill
LACED people. The Constitution pro-
vides that the Senate can determine
the rule of its proceedings. By this it
means, the majority of the Senate, GER
tainly not the minority; but the present
majority of that body, strange as it may
seem to unsophisticated people, DO not
entertain any such plain common sense
idea.

A NORTHERN newspaper says: at Is
a libel on the people of every State to
say that they cannot be trusted to hold
honest and fair elections without the
presence of federal spies and BULLDOG
ers." And yet the same identical pa
per says the L. 5. House of Representa-
lives should not have taken up the bill
TO repeal the federal election law, but
have remained passive during the
whole time the Senate has wasted on
the silver bill, and that when the latter
bill shall be disposed of, if that shall be
before the commencement of the regu-
lar session of Congress, the present en-
ira session should adjourn. But logic
and consistency have as little to do
with the average newspaper as with an
average Congress.

ed before Justice O'Brien in the SUI
perior Court of New York yesterday

vorce form her husband, Louis James,
the actor. James did not appear to de-
fend the case.
Miss Wainwright took the witness
chair and testified that she was married
to Mr.. James in Boston on March IA,
1882, and lived with him until four
years ago, when she left him. She told
the court that she desired to resume
her maiden name as soon as the di-
vorce was granted. She did not ask

cupying the same rooms. The woman,

tress.
This concluded the testimony. As
soon as the necessary papers are pre-
pared Miss Wainwright will get her di-
YOrce.

THE streets of some cities of larger
business than Alexandria are macadam-
lied, and satisfactorily so to those
who use them. Why couldn't some OF
the leisure hours of the chain gang here
be devoted to the making of that sort
of pavement during the present fall
and the coming winter on al y street for
which the material is already provided,
and on which the work would be with
out expense. Such street is the paved
part of Lee street, the boulders in
which, if crushed, would supply all the
rock that would be required. As the
experiment would cost nothing, why
not make it? The condition of the
street could not be made worse than it
is. 1t might be made better.

Mr.. CIark.s Spccch.

In the House of Representatives yes
terday Mr.. Clark, democrat, of Missouri,
spoke in favor of the repeal of the fed
eral election law. He said that one of
the reasons why the people had hurled
the republican party from power was
that that party was the inveterate che
my of free elections. The democratic
party had begun business for the pur-
pose of giving local selfgovernment to
the people. That was the mission upon
which Thomas Jefferson had led it to
its first victory, and that was the mis-
sion on which Grover Cleveland had led
il to its latest victory.
Mr.. Wilson, republican, of Washing
ton, inquired why it was that if Grover
Cleveland was in favor of local self
government he did not give it to the
people of the West.
Mr.. Clark replied that the gentleman
ought to have intelligence enough to
know that Indian reservations belong
ed to the federal government and not
to the States in which they were locat
ed. 1t sometimes happened that gen
lemer could not be found in some
States with sufficient intelligence to fill
some places to which the gentleman re-
TERED. Laughter II suppose" went
on Mr.. Clark, when Grover Cleveland
wants to find out whom he ought to APP
point to Indian reservations he will call
on my friend"
No replied 1Tr. Wilson, she hiss
zone to the Senate and his action is be
ing discussed there entirely TO his dis
satisfaction"
Il will yield to a question, but will
not yield to speech in the Jack-in-
the-bo style Of the gentlemen from
Washington. Ifyou have question
to ask, ask it; if not, sit down and
bush" Laughter.
Dir. Wilson, hope the gentleman
will treat me with as much courtesy as
| treat him."
"The gentleman" responded Mr..
Clark, "wor!;s so like machine that !
do not understand what he says.
[Laughter.l Iwant to make propo-
Sition am willing to answer any ques-
ton but it must be question and not
Il stump speech.
In conclusion Mr.. Clark said that the
democrats were honest and earnest in
this business. Whatever the repubIi-
cans might think about it the demo-
arats had no doubt about holding the
executive and legislative branches OF
the government land would soon hold
the judiciary branch) for the next
twenty-five years, with the full consent
OF majority of the American people.

TIE LATE LYNcHING AT ROANOKE.
The special grand jury summoned TO
investigate the recent riot at Roanoke
was sworn yesterday morning and
charged by Judge Woods, of the Hust-
ings Court, who started out by saying
that no grand jury in the history OF the
city has been called upon to perform
such an important work as that which
was before the present body. He char
acterized the men who hanged and
burned the negro Smith as devil-in
spired and their proceedings as not
only unlawful, but whitening, blight
ing curse, and asked that every partici
pant be ferretcd out, promising speedy
trial of every man indicted. Judge
Woods further said that it had been
charged that citizens had been shot
down without sufficient provocation,
and urged the jury to carefully and
thoughtly investigate this phase of the
question, aud if such charges were
found to be wcll-grounded to bring in
indictments against all parties offend
ing, be they high or low, few or many.

THE New York World says: 1.-THE
most efficient cause in the prevention
of crime is public opinion operating as
the common sense of the community"
This shows that the World knows as
little about the prevention of crime
among the negroes of the South as it.,
or any other northern newspaper,
does about the true condition of any
southern matter. Public opinion has
no deterrent effect upon the criminal
actions of negroes, and the particular
crime for which most Of them suffer
death shows that they are not suscep-
tible to the influences Of common sense.
