Words of Encouragement.

Winchester, Va. November q, 1893.
Editor Times: As constant reader OF
The Times. / cannot forbear congratulate
ing you upon the very high plane upon
which The Times is conducted. IL is very
refreshing to see a Virginia paper lifted
up above the dead level of mediOcrity,
and inspired with a courageous and in
telligent independence.
/ have been particularly struck with
your advocacy Of a change IN our cleo
ton laws. They should be above that sus-
picion which is not unnaturally en-
tertained Of our present system. 1 think
II would be a good idea for The Times
to adopt and strenuously urge upon the
next Legislature a bill recognizing all the
essential features Of the Australian sys-
tenn.

THE pIsPATCn AS DEFENDER OF TIKI
ELECTION LAWS.

The Dispatch has fixed itself firmly
upon the foundation that the Virginia
elections are honest, and it will consider
nothing that is alleged against them. II
wholly ignores the fact that Portsmouth,
with voting population of more than
5000, gave Cooke only five votes, that the
second district gave O'Ferraii n.6A votes
10 a year when the voters could be got
10 the polls in no other part OF the State,
and when In the election between Cleve-
land and Blaine an election which stirred
this State as profoundly as II was ever
moved, It was able to give Mr.. Cleveland
only l4,n9 votes These, and many other
suspicious facts which We have pointed
out, the Dispatch wholly ignores, and, with
it's ears shut to every question touching
the matter. It proceeds to ask those who
assail our system certain questions In the
interest OF the defence. We shall con-
slider these questions as addressed 10
The Times. and shall answer them accord
ingly. Under the heading Questions for
Grumblers." the Dispatch asks;
when was Il first discovered that our
elections are not honest. and die you I'M
mediately upon that discovery seek TO
inaugurate the work OF REFORM
The logic OF this is. OF course. that no
inquiry should now be made into charges
Of dishonest elections If those making them
knew the facts a long time without max
ing exposure or them.
We must admit that this Is an entirely
new doctrine TO us. 1t is a perfectly famil-
lar principle that the courts Will not
willingly aid a private person who has
long known of his rights. but has inbo-
lently slept upon them. But we never
before heard that the principle had any
place whatever IN connection with the
rights Of the public. We have always
understood that a public wrong was 10

delinquent individuals having knowledge
OF 1t might have been In disclosing 1t.
We viii tell the Dispatch. however, that
we have for long time heard complaints
OF the new election law, but we never
looked into them until recently--since the
last election. indeed. SO that we suppose
we can hardly be held to be barred from
the poor privilege Of testifying against

I. Be It enacted that on every article
imported into the United States from any
foreign country. there shall be levied an
import duty of thirtyfiye per cent. ad
valorem.
IL. There shall be no exception TO this
rate Of duty, but 1t shall be levied and

III. Whenever at the end Of any fiscal
year the aggregate revenues derived from
import duties shall exceed by fifty mill
lions OF dollars the necessities Of the

cally administered. the President shall be
authorized TO issue a proclamation re-

The above is the proposition Of the New

to have a strong leaning to protection-a

soundest Democracy and equality before

cations. as, for instance, in favor of re-
ligious books, works Of art for public
galleries, and perhaps some other articles
should be free. but the principle Of a
uniform rate upon an ad valorem basis
is the true one.

Microbes in the Nails

The latest scare in microbes has been
started by Professor Uffeman. OF Ros-

bacilli and put IT into a post bag When
the letter was taken out twenty-three and
one-half hours later, the bacilli were utln
there. Bacilli We're also found living on
post cards twenty hours after infection.
The micro-organism were found TO die
rapidly when placed upon coins. 4 ay

ments Is obvious.-Scientific American.

He Presents New List for the Elk.
ecutive Board.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 24.-General
Master Workman Powderly backed
water in the session of the general as
sembly of the Knights of Labor this
morning, and endeavored to placate the
strong opposing S)rces by presenting a
new list of delegates, from among whom
four will be chosen for the general ex-
ecutive board.
Those named we're: John Devlin, A.
w. Wright and John Davis, of the pres
ent board; Hugh Cavanaugh. the de-
posed worthy foreman; John Costello.
of Philadelphia; Charles R. Martin, of
Toledo, and Thomas O'Reilly and John
OKeefe. of Philadelphia. The men
he named today were John Devlin.
Detroit; A. w. Wright. Canada;
Costello. Pittsburg; t. r. Mcclure.
New York; j. p. Duncan, Indian Terri
tory; j. III. Robertson, Arkansas, and
z. ii. Quinn, Rhode Island. With the
exception of the first three the names
were all new.
The entire time of the session was
taken up in discussing the names, and
warm speeches were made for and
against each candidate. Most of the
men are favorable to Mr.. Powderly. but
several of them suit the Hayes faction.
The afternoon session was more than
usually interesting. After Mr.. Powderly
had been made to recognize the position
his brother Knights mad brought to bear
upon him, he nevertheless endeavored
to have his new list looked
upon with favor. BalIoting for the
new general executive board was COM
menced early in the afternoon. Nc
CURE, of New York. was the only one
of the new nominees who succeeded in
getting enough votes TO elect him. Bal
lot after ballot was taken for the re-
naming seven men, but no result was
reached. The election had to be de-
clared suspended until tomorrow morn
ing. During the afternoon session
complimentary votes were rendered
Martin. of Minnesota; Mcclure, of the
District of Columbia; G. r. Martin, of
Ohio; Best, of New York; Kenny, of
Nebraska, and Robinson, of Indiana.
1t was enacted that hereafter the
secretary-treasurer shall act as secre-
tary of the general assembly. At the
hour of adjournment the delegates
seemed determined to keep on with the
light against Powderly.

IN THE COMMONS
Duke of York will Not Have a
Residence in Ireland.

Residence in Ireland.
LONDON, Nov. 24.-ln the house OF
commons today Mr.. Gladstone, in reply
ing to question put by William john
son, member for South Belfast, said
that the government was not contem-
plating the purchase of a residence in
Ireland for the Duke of York. Mr..
Gladstone at the same time expressed
the opinion that it was of great national
importance that the best relations
should be established between the royal
family and the people of Ireland.
Replying to Lieut.. Gen. Sir George
Chester, member for Oxford, Mr.. Glad
stoue remarked that when the navy esti.
mates were explained it would be found
that further ships were to be built at an
early date, and that provisions to avoid
delays and to rapidly complete the work
already ordered would be made.
John Morley, chief secretary for Ire
land. reappeared in the house today for
the first time after his illness, and, in
reply to question, said that he would
appoint select committee to inquire
into the working of the fair rent clause
of the Irish land act of 1891. which, he
added, would shortly expire.
The secretary of the admiralty. Sir
Kay Shuttleworth, answering a ques-
ton, said that no communications had
been received from the United States
naval department On the subject of
blowing up wrecks in the gulf stream.
Henry Fowler, president of the local
government board, answering James
Weir Hardie, one of the members for
West Hampshire, said that the govern
ment had no power to undertake works
especially for the unemployed. Mr..
Hardie then moved to adjourn in order
to call attention to the unemployed, but
the motion was negatived by vote of
142 to A. Mr.. Hardie then exclaimed:
81 hope the unemployed will now take
the matter in their own shands." The
speaker rebuked Mr.. Hardie for this
exclamation

1T Is LEGAL
Our People Can Sell Ships and
arms to Brazil.

Our People Can Sell Ships and
arms to Brazil.
New YORK, Nov. 25.-''The Canadian
lawyer and his friend need not worry"
said William NJ. WINS, legal adviser to
the Brazilian legation in the United
States, when interviewed by a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press this
evening.
The shipments of arms and ammuni-
ton are entirely legal. The America
is Brazilian public vessel, and. under
the constitution of the United States
and the decisions of the supreme court
OF the United States. it IS perfectly
proper and legal to sell either ships or
other material of war to any foreign
state with which the United States is at
peace, provided the same are not sold
for use against any foreign state with
which the United states is at peace. q u
Admiral Mello is an inSurgent and a
rebel, and, according 10 the municipal
law of Brazil, and according to the in
ternational law, he is pirate. The
United States government has refused
to recognize him as belligerent, and
there is, therefore, no infraction of
neutrality of the United States, or of
the international law relating to neu-
trality.
American merchants and shipbuiid-
erS have the same rights consequently
to sell to the duly recognized govern
ment of Brazil that England or France
has, leach of whose governments is doing
exactly the same thing, and we have
exactly the same right to sell to Brazil
that we have to sell TO Peru, or Chill, or
France. or Italy. The Canadian law
yers need not allow their brains to be
unnecessarily disturbed by the ques-
ton.
''On the other hand, any attempt to
supply Mello as rebel and all insur-
gent, whose belligerency was not recog-
niZed by Us, would be clear violation
of the international law of the United
States.
"Mello's disadvantage is that he is
wrong. The advantage of the constitu-
tiOnal government of Brazil is that it is
right"

a New Certain Cure for Piles.


We do not intend to iHdorse any ex-
cept articles of genuine merit; we
therefore take pleasure in recommend
ing to sufferers from piles in any form
a prompt and permanent cure. The fol-
lowing letters speak for themselves:
Mrs. Mary G. Tyler. of Heppner, Or.
writes: One package of Pyramid Pile
Cure entirely cured me of piles, from
which L have suffered for years. and l
have never had the slightest return of
them since.
Mr.. E. O'Brien, Rock Bluffs, Neb..
says: The package of Pyramid Pile
Cure entirely removed every trace of
itching piles. l cannot thank you
enough for it.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is new, Ger
tain, painless cure for every form of
piles. 1t is safe, sure and cheap. Any
druggist will get it for you if you ask
him.
