LEGISLATIVE CAUCUs.-The demo-
cratic members of the Senate in caucus
last night re-nominated Senator Hurt
for president pro TEN. DIR. J. D. Pen
dleton, of Orange, was the choice for
clerk. He had q narrow escape from
defeat. The vote at first was tie
between him and Mr.. Joseph Button,
of Lynchburg. Senator Mushbach, OF
this city, came in before the third bal
lot was taken and voted for Pendleton,
which gave him the nomination by one
vote. Y. T. Weaver, of Giles, and l..
]. Gunter, of Accomac, were re-nomi-
mated for sergeant-at. arms and door
keeper, respectively.
In the House caucus Mr.. Cardwell
was re-nominated for speaker, Col. ].
Bell Bigger for clerk and A. o. Sulli-
van for first doorkeeper. j. c. Car
penter, of Allegheny, was named for
sergeant-at-arms, and P. Z. Lipscomb,
of King and Queen, for second door
keeper. The two last named are new
men to the positions for which they are
nominated.
The joint caucus organized by the
election of Delegate Ryan, of Lou
doun, as chairman, and Senator Loven-
stein, of Richmond. as secretary,
adjourned to Tuesday night. Judge

THE PRESIDENT, in his annual mes
sage to Congress, says, in respect ofthe
Hawaiian affair: 1.-THE only honorable
course for our government to pursue
was to undo the wrong that had been
done by those representing US, and to
restore as far as practicable the status ex'
listing at the time of our forcible inter
veution." Solomon could not have con-
ceivcd wiser idea, or expressed it IL
briefer or palmer terms. But being
right, and being convinced of that fact,
and having the reputation of possess
ing the requisite moral courage to sup,
port and maintain his convictions, the
delay in the restoration OF "the status
existing in Hawaii at the time of oul
forcible Intervention" is inexplicahle

the most severe of the year. Sleet,
rain and snow, accompanied by very
strong wind, prevailed all night. Many
wrecks are expected on the cape. 1t
was terrible night for sea-faring men.

THE REPUBLICAN protection organs
for, strange as it may seem, there are
so called democratic organs of the same
character-don't agree upon tunda'
mental point of the tariffquestion. The
New York Tribune, for instance, says
the customs duties on wooden goods are
paid by the foreigners, while the Press,
of the same city, says customs duties on
sugar would saddle animmense tax up
on the home consumers. The organs re-
ferred to ought to come together. They
tell two tales about the same thing.
Both cannot be right. In the particu-
lar case referred to, the Press, being un-
questionably right, the Tribune must be
indisputably wrong.

BIG ORANGE CRoP.-The Savannah Ners
expresses the fear that the large shipments of
oranges now being made from that city may
gIut the Eastern markets. Last week some
thing over 100000 boxes of oranges left Sa-
yannah for Baltimore, New York and other
points by rail and steamer. Averaging $50
oranges to the box, which is small estimate,
the weeks shipments will throw 100000
oranges into the Eastern markets. The Ners
says the Christmas trade may keep up the
sales for some time, but at that rate there will
be heavier excess of the fruit above the de-
mand than has been created by the Cutting
of the watermelon market in past seasons.

FRED OFTEN SUICIDES.
Found Dead in His Room at the Ar.
gyle Inn.

The community was startled yester-
day morning by the news of tragic
al occurrence at the Argyle Inn, on
West Broad street, where Fred Often,
! for several years past trusted en-
ploye Of ]. II. Mullinss grocery es-
tablishment, was found dead in his
room at an early hour Sunday morn.
ing, death being the result of pistol
wound through the head, inflicted by
his own hand with suicidal intent.
The deceased was well known to the
trading public and beliked by all as
polite, attentive and obliging sales
man. His death was the result, d.
rectly or indirectly, of his one beset-
ting sin, overindulgence in strong
drink. His last spree, which ended
with his life, began during the last
week of June, and was continued at
intervals up to the hour of his death.
Every possible effort had been made
by the unfortunate mans friends to
sober him up and secure his return
to work. These efforts we're earnest
ly aided by his employer, Mr.. Null
Inns, who, recognizing the worth and
value Of the deceased, was perfectly
willing to take him back in his en-
ploy as soon as the effects of dissipa-
tion had worn off. While addicted
to the drink habit, deceased only in.
dulged at rare intervals, being, in his
sober moments, all that either friends
or employer could desire. He had
retired to rest at the usual hour on
Saturday night and not the faintest
idea or suspicion prevailed as to his
intention to commit the desperate
act, which at once hurled his soul,
all unprepared as it was, into the aw-
full abyss Of eternity and cut off his
life in the prime of earthly existence.
The fatal act was committed at 5
o'clock a. m, a 80 caliber pistol being
the weapon used. A careful search
of the dead mans effects revealed
nothing in the shape of note or letter
indicating his intention to take his
life. The deceased was thirty-one
years of age and came to this city
several years since from ST. Louis,
Mo-, where his mother and two mar
ried sisters now reside kilograms
were at once sent notifying the fami-
ly OF the sad occurrence. The funcr-
al will take place from the Argyle
Inn on West Broad street. at o'clock
this afternoon. Interment in Rose
Hill Cemetery.

FoRCIBLE SUGGESTION.
Plans Formulated for Practical Ad.
justment OF Monetary Differences.

Sensible plans for satisfactory set
tlement of the silver question have
been formulated by recent writer OF
New York City, and although leaning
toward the eastern or gold theory,
yetspresent fair and seemingly
equitable plan for the adjustment OF
our existing monetary difference
These views are submitted to the pub
lie, through the columns of the New
York Recorder, as follows:
When congress assemblies next
month its immediate duty will be to
so legislate as to strengthen the cur
rency and restore commercial conf.
dence. AS a first step to this end, il
is almost unanimous judgment of oui
bankers, merchants and business men
as expressed by their chambers Of
commerce, boards of trade and Other
representative bodies, that the pur.
chase clause of the Sherman act ol
1890, requiring 100000 ounces Of
silver per month to be bought by the
treasury at the market price must be
repealed. There is not much doubt
that congress will do this.
There ought, indeed to be no doubt
at all upon this point, and we are o.
opinion that there would be none but
for the disposition shown in soms
quarters to treat the repeal of thu
purchase clause of the act Of 1890 al
| if it wonld be final and complete
settlement Of the whole currency
problem. The truth must be square
ly recognized that to stop the month
| ly purchase of silver, and do nothing
more, will leave the currency Of th'
country on satisfactory or safe foot
/
Ing.
Provision must be made for the sii
yer already stored in the governmen
vaults and represented in circulation
by the silver certificates. The futur
relations of gold and silver in ou
coinage, and of the silver held as col
lateral against large part of our pa
per circulation, must be defined AM
adjusted on an honest basis. Thi
readjustment must fully recognize tn
gold standard, which has become th
international measure Of value.
this Is not done there will be NOR

the value to health of the pure liquid

Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and feyers
and permanently curing constipation,
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

every Objectionable substance.

a Tremendous Shaking Up.

This is what every system afflicted
with chills and fever, bilious remit
tent, or any other form of mslarial
disease, undergoes periodically. Not
only is malaria terrible in itself it is
the breeder of an infnity of bodily
ailments. Specifics used for its pre-
vention and removal prove, in the vast
majority of cases, useless for every
other purpose than to mitigate the
disease and stave off its attacks. They
are sure, with the average treatment,
to return after while. The sufferer
may change his location to healthier
one, but the complaint, which is in
4 his blood, is not thus lightly got rid
of, and returns after the wonted inter-
val. Organic affections of the nerves,
heart trouble, general debility of the
system are the offspring of malaria.
Cure the originating cause and avert
future physical injury with Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, efficacious also in
liver complaint, inactivity of the kid
neys, rheumatism and indigestion.

TOO SMART.

An Atlanta beggar burned his arm in
order that he might win public sympa-
thy. He overdid the matter and the con-
sequence was that the doctor had to
amputate the injured member in order
to save his life.
This is akin to the fooliShness of
people who are in too great ahurry to
take care of their health. They catch
cold and neglect it, thinking that it
doesn't amount to much and that it
will take care of itself.
More people go down to their
graves every year under this delusion
than from any other.
When you take cold do not neglect
it, but attend to it at once. 1t is not a
thing that you can trife with.
Get a bottle of Reid's German Cough
and Kidney Cure and take it freely.
1t contains no poison and is entirely
free from all deleteriouS substances.
You can give it to the weakest infant
without danger, while it is the best
thing in the world for colds and Group.
Get it of any dealer.
