The advices received of late from
every part OF the State are to the eff
feet that the people are shaking off
the apathy which threatened at one
time to decrease the Democratic ma
jority in the State, and that the out
look now is for a grand Democratic
victory. They could not with the
mighty issues at stake in this canvass,
however secure they might feel afford
to take the risks of defeat by mac
ton on their part. The Legislature
to be elected on the 9TH will be one
Of the most important in the history
of the State. 1t will elect United
States Senators for the regular and
urexpired term. Judges of the Court
of Appeals, Circuit Judges, &C., and
legislation will be required in addi-
ton at their hands of great moment
to the people of the State. 1t is
we'll that the people are being
aroused to the Importance of the sit
uation, and Accomac must not be
a laggard in the fight for the control
Of the affairs OF the State by those
most interested in her welfare and
who will guard best her interests.

Gen. Thomas L. Rosser, a recent
convert to Third partyism, made a
speech recently at Williamsburg and
was highly honored, it is stated, by
the Republicans. The chairman OF
the Republican committeeintroduced
him to that meeting, the Republicans
present vociferously applauded, and
one of the most pronounced Republi-
cans in the State, after the meeting
entertained him.
Mr.. Gravely, who addressed the
citizens of Accomac on last Monday,
had as his most attentive listeners q
few Republicans, and their pleasure
over his remarks was noted and COM
mented upon at the time. a promi-
nent Republican afterwards escorted
him to Cape Charles, there intro
duced him and has his tickets in
hand for distribution.
Elsewhere throughout the State, at
almost every meeting Of the Third
partyites, we find them cheek by
jowl with our old enemy, the Repub-
licans, and doubtless are expecting
their support.
Is comment necessary? Democrats
of the Eastern Shore, in the light of
these facts, don't you know. that it
is your duty to go to the polls and
vote, next Tuesday, the straight
Democratic ticket.

Independent Democratic ticket
Such is the heading of ticket which
will be presented to some of the vo-
tiers of the Eastern Shore next Tues
day, and We merely call your atten-
ton to it, to say-don't be deceived
by it. 1t has the names of all the
Democratic candidates on it, except
DR.. Charles Smith, who is the regu-
lar nominee of the Democratic party,
and who is in all respects entitled to
your support. We commend him to
the voters as a Democrat, whose
record has no flaw in it, as a gentle
man whose honor no one has ever
questioned, as Yirginian to whom
the best interests of his people may
be committed, with the absolute GER
tainty that they will not suffer in
his keeping. Democrats of Accomac
will Of course cast their votes for DR..
Smith and let them by all means so
scrutinize their tickets that they are
sure Of voting for him.

Accomac enjoys the proud distinc-
ton, won in the last Presidential
election, OF being the banner Demo-
cratic county in the State. To-day
the hearts of her people are as full Of
the same patriotic impulses, which
controlled them and carried them to
the polls in that election. Indeed in
the history Of the county, the time
has never been, when there was so
little division In our ranks, when our
people were better satisfied with the
fruits of that victory. And to them
it is only necessary to say, go to
the polls on next Tuesday. Apathy
never won victory or perpetuated
the good thereby attained. Go to
the polls and guard against the sur
prises which through our old enemy,
Republicanism, under it's new name,
Third partyism, may fall to us.

Boss Malone says, that the most of
the Republicans in Virginia will vote
the Third party ticket on the 9TH Of
November. Whether he is right in
his prediction or not. one thing is
certain, that the Third partyites
have been seeking coalition with
them and can only hope for success
through them. With that prospect,
however remote, Democrats cannot
fail to see their duty and will vote, if
they wish to do it, the straight Dem
ocratic ticket without scratching the
name OF single candidate.

by Veteran Philip Honey, of Stafford
county, died last week, after having
passed her thirty-ninth birthday. Mr..
Honey rode the mule in cavalry SER

her home with him after the surren-

THE MESSAGE.

Congress has convened and Presi-
dent Cleveland has sent in his lengthy
message. 1t is just such a document
as could be expected, and pleases his
friends and displeases his enemies. He
reviews the foreign complications, the
Hawaiian troubles, censures the Egan
complications in Chill, and favors let
ting alone of the Brazilian rebellion.
Mr.. Cleveland indorses the repeal of
the Sherman law and puts forth the
belief that this will eventually bring
confidence and prosperity to the peo-
pie of the United States. He intima-
tes to congress to let alone all meas
ures that would bring temporary relief
and to let things take their course as
he has shaped them; which means that
any attempt to alleviate the financial
stringency will not be tolerated. He
has considerable to say on the civil
service He declared that this reform
is satisfactory to the people, notwith-
standing the hostility of the spoilsmen
and the politician. He heartily endor-
ses the secretary of agriculture in his
economic administration of that branch
of the government. He rebukes the
free distribution of seeds as a costly
and senseless proceeding. He urges
congress to vigorously economic in
public expenditure as depleted pub
lie treasury confronts them. He calls
attention to land and pension frauds
and advises the refusal of pensions to
those not incapacitated from manual
labor. He also urges the striking from
the rolls all those who are not literally
entitled to the benefits of a pension.
He demands that nothing intervene to
distract the attention of congress from
the tariff. He believes in tariff for re-
venue only; that the American manu-
facturer will have a larger field if free
though the wages of the Iaborer may
be somewhat lowered by this measure,
steady employment will more than re-
compense them for the reduction; that
the cost of living and the necessaries
of life will be much less; that to provi-
de against a temporary deficiency that
may exist before the new tariff schedu-
les adjust themselves, he advises a
few additional internal revenue taxes,
which includes a small tax on incomes
of certain corporate investments.
Withall, it is such message as was
expected from so positive and forcible
a president as Grover Cleveland. He
demands these things, and it is need
less to say that congress and the sena-
te will have to submit to his desires,
whether for good or evil.

ONE RESULT.

One effect of the present "hard
times" thro ughout the country is visi-
BILE in the great increase in the number
of recruits taken into the army in the
past year and the constantly increas-
ing number of applications at the re-
cruiting stations all over the country.
In speaking of the present state of
affairs an army officer connected with
the recruiting service said to a Wash
ington Post man the other night.
"The army in nearer full at present
than it has ever been since the war.
The maximum allowance for the stand
ing army is by $4,000 or $4,000 in the
ranks. At present, however, there are
only about 154 vacancies in the whole
army. and orders have had to be issued
to the officers in charge of all the re-
cruiting stations to restrict the numb
or of recruits taken in. The; fact is
that it is not nearly every man who
can get into the army if he wants to,
and the lines are being even more
closely drawn as the amount of avail
able material increases, so that it is
not more than one out of six or eight
applicants who is accepted.
s'There are perhaps so or 60 recruiting
stations throughout the country, with
an officer in charge of each, and when
ever an applicant presents himself he
is obliged to answer list of about so
questions as to his mental qualiffca-
tons. which only a small proportion
of the applicants can do, he is turned
over to the nearest recruiting depot,
where he is put through another ex-
animation before board of surgeons
and examiners, and there he may be
rejected again, in which case the cost
of his transportation and board are
charged up to the recruiting officer
who accepted him.
'In spite of these restrictions, how
ever, the number of applicants for the
service has so increased that the army
is practically full, and can conceive
of no reason for the present state of
things except the prevailing hard
times, which have driven large numb
ers of men without other means of
support to fall back on the government
for living. No, do not know, of any
movement on foot to increase the size
of the standing army, I know that it
has been talked of, but do not think
that the officers of the service are in
favor of the idea, and do not see any
good that could come of it except to
furnish just that many more men with
a living"

should accure to labor from this sys-

should accure to labor from this sys-
tenn are in anywise secure.
Take the Carnegie strike at Home
stead, Pa. Now here is an industry
that has been royalty protected. The
chief beneficiary is foreigner, and
lives abroad. The manager of that
huge monopoly, when examined by a
congressional investigating committee,
was asked what it cost to manufacture
ton of steel? He refused point blank
to answer the question. The unavoid-
able inference is that there was large
profit in the business which they did
not want. to discover to the public At
the same time they were waging war
on united labor and causing bloodshed
and distress.
The fact is that there is a compact
of capital all over the United States to
break down and overthrow the strong
holds of united labor. If this is the
ripe fruitage of 80 years of protective
tariff better the system disappear at
once. Capital has never shared with
labor, and never will, the profits of
protection. Why should it? 1t is not
obliged by any law to do so. Think of
the starving multitudes out of employ
ment on one hand, and the colossal
accommodations of capital on the other
hand all under protection. Think of
the low price of farm products, and the
falling off in all farm values. A tree
is to be known by its fruits. Protec-
ton is a upas tree.
The rates of the tariff should be cut
in half, and then put the heaviest part
of the burdens on incomes and inheri-
lance tax. Tax people on their incomes
and not on their out-goes. Tax them
on assets and not on their debts. Tax
them on their wealth and not on their
wants. It must come to this.
With plenty of money to do business
on, with silver restored to free coinage,
there is not an industry in the United
States but what is abundantly capable
of competition with the wide, wide
world. Take the shackels and burdens
off of free labor and industry will take
care of itself

respecting men the remedy is for such
men to use whatever influence they
possess to make politics better. The
politics of the country are not worse
than the average morals of the COM
munity. The politician may be selfish,
but he is not more so than is the aver
age business man, who let's public af-
fairs alone because to engage in politi-
cs Will interfere with his money max
ing. There are among the politicians
at least some whose chief interest in
political affairs is their sense of duty
as citizens to do their share towards
making our system of self government
a success. Perhaps there used TO be
more such. They need to become more
numerous again. Instead Of looking
askance at the politician, we should
honor him as one who, whatever his
faults, at least processes that some
purpose in life is more important to
him than is his personal gain.
