1t is very clear, judging from the indi-
cations we have, that 0 Ferrall is losing
and Cooke gaining with the people,
The people are tired of the machine and
of professional politicians, and will say
SO at the polls in ber-- Yost S
Weekly.
This will cause broad smile wherever
read by the friends of the next Governor
of Virginia, Col. O'Ferrall. Major Yost's
of the Democratic nominee for
Governor, has undergone a wonderful
change since the Noyes- Rockwell cons
tested election case from New York
State was before the House of Represen-
tatiyes. As Chairman of the Elections
Committee, Col. O'Ferrall submitted a
report favoring the seating of the Re-
publican, Noyes, which called forth the
most complimentary expressions from
the Editor of the Weekly. He, (O'Fer-
rally was extolled as patriot and states
man, and regarded as in every way wor-
thy to represent this grand Old Com
monwealth in the lower house of Con-
gress. Now, this same writer can see
nothing worthy of conmendation in the
career of Virginia honored son, and
jeopardizes his reputation as a political
prophet, by predicting his defeat at the
polls. But the Major made similar
prophecy in regard to Cleveland.

Horrible Death.
ORANGE, Va, Sept. 18.-A terrible and
unprecedented accident occurred near
Unionyille in this county yesterday.
Miss Martin. a young girl of about Is
years of age, was accompanying her
brother to church, when some straw in
the bed of the wagon took fire, it is sup
posed from cigarette he was smoking
The young lady remarked she smelt
Something burning. and soon after found
her clothing had ignited. She scream
ed and the horse started and ran away
throwing her out. Her brother, a short
distance away, was also thrown out and
it is thought become unconscious. He
summoned aid as quickly as possible,
but the clothing of the unfortunate girl
was entirely consumed before friends

This time it is Roanoke. Va, that
furnishes the disgraceful spectacle of an
infuriated mob attempting to lynch
negro who is accused of beating and
robbing n woman. This latest story OF
Southern lawlessness has an element OF
novelty because the proposed lynching
did not take place. Instead nine would
be executioners are dead while others
are nursing wounds of more or less
dangerous character.
For once at least hanging bee was
not carried out according to the ar
ranged program, and all because the
mayor of Roanoke is man who has the
courage to uphold the law at all haz-
ards. The negro who was accused of
assaulting the woman and then taking
her money was promptly captured and
confined in the jail. That punishment
for his crime was as certain as it was
sure to be severe, had the law been
allowed to take its course, no one who
is familiar with Southern justice as dis
pclotu W COioItu iucu uccu uouDbs
But the wave of lawlessness which
has rolled over the South had struck
Roanoke. Law was set at naught and
mob thirsting for blood assaulted the Jail.
Mayor Trout was there. So was the local
militia company. The mob would not
be reasoned with. II wanted blood and
must have it. The door was battered
down and volley from the assaulting
party wounded several of the defenders
Of the Jail, including the mayor.
Then the militia was ordered to return
the fire and nine members Of the mob
dropped in their tracks.
The gentlemen of the South who pro-
fess such a fine sense of honor will no
doubt denounce Mayor Trout as a
murderer; but in the North, where
there is yet remaining some respect for
law, he will be known as public
official who did his duty as he saw it.
Nine lives is fearful penalty to pay
for the batting of colored criminal,
but if the lessons such sacrifice teach
are taken to heart the catastrophe may
have the salutary effect of reducing the
number of murders by mobs, and other
similar brutalities which of late have
shocked the nation.

LONG RANGE PUGILIsM.

Now that Charles Mitchell is again
on American soil renewal of hostilities
between himself and Corbett is not only
probable but, unfortunately for a long
suffering public, cannot be averted.
IL is not to be imagined, however,
that there is any danger of a personal en-
counter between these two eminent prize
ring scientists. Their fighting will be
done at long range. Heretofore it has
been carried on with 5000 miles of
ocean between them, but will now be
transferred to the columns Of news.
papers of pugilistic predictions.
They will get free advertising galore,
will delude few thousand foolish
people to part with good money for
bad boxing at exhibitions" and "bene-
fits"--and that is all.
Then Mitchell will return to England
vowing that Corbett is afraid to meet
him, while the Californian will resume
his histrionic labors with the added
prestige of having sent the Englishman
home in fear aud trembling.
How long can the American public
be gulIed In this wayf

Mr.. Cleveland once came to this city
aud made political speech in the Opera
house, and by 30 doing materially as
sisted the Republicans in carrying the
state. This performance was not agree
able to the eminent gentlemen in the
Democratic party who had been fiatter-
ing themselves that victory was about
to perch on their banners, so to speak,
and Mr.. Cleveland has not been very
popular hereabouts since. He knows
that Rhode Island does not like him and
he has been quietly waiting for an OPP
portunity to manifest his distinguished
consideration for the state.
Yesterday his turn came. He seized
it. He appointed James ]. Van Allen
minister to Italy, and credited the APP
pointment to Rhode Island.
Mr.. Van Allen is a gentleman of more
or less elegant leisure, exclusive in birth
and breeding. English as person born
in America can be, rich because he was
born so, a New York club man, david
ler, of no special account in any
special way. mild yachter, sport of
the milk-and-water variety in short, a
man of no consequences whatever, ex-
cept that he is accidentally rich and
purposely contributed sundry thousands
to Cleveland's campaign expenses.
Mr.. Van Allen spends the polo and
tennis season at Newport, few Ian
guild weeks at New York, and the bal
ance of his time abroad. Why Rhode
Island is obliged to maternize him is
one of the mysteries as unsoluble as the
Borden and Barnaby murders.
1t must be confessed that Mr.. Cleve-
land has dealt his Rhode Island dislikers
very subtle and penetrating blow,
directly under the fifth rib. There are
several Democrats in the state who
would have honored the state and the
administration as minister at Rome.
Ex-Governor Davis, Candidate Baker,
Colonel Honey, Mr.. Owen, Mr..
Carroll, Mr.. Pond, Mr.. Brennan
Mr.. Banigan, Postmaster George, and
dozen others recur to mind-but who
would ever think of Mr.. Van Allen when
coming over in his mind the Rhode Is
land Democrat worthy to be sent to
Rome as the representative of the gov
ernment at Washington
There is no other explanation of the
extraordinary appointment but to sup
pose that the president was determined
to "get back at" Rhode Island in a
manner that will not soon be forgotten.
He can certainly now afford to cry

THE GREAT err

In MS message OF august y, f'reSluenU
Cleveland, after stating that the capi-
talist could protect himself by hoard
ing or may even find profit in the
fuctuation of values" added that the
wage Garner is the first to be injured
and the last to be benefited by fluctua-
tions in the value of currency, and that,
che relies for work upon the ventures
of confident and contented capital"
After this declaration, paraphrasing
the adage, production depends on
commercial confidence" we might natu-
rally expect that the president would say
something calculated to give confidence
to the capital employing wage earners.
the capital engaged in productive enter
prises, for as he says of the laborer: "His
condition is without alleviation, for he
can neither prey ON the misfortunes of
others nor hoard his labor" When,
however, he speaks Of entering prompt
ly upon the work of tariff REFORM" he
gives confidence and contentment to the
manufacturing capital of Great Britain,
and may possibly extend "alleviation"
to the coal miners of that country who
struck against a reduction of 25 per
cent. in their wages.
If President Cleveland would now
call reporter for the Sun, or some
other Democratic paper, and say to him
that during his administration there
should be no "tariff REFORM" though it
would nearly break the heart of Mr..
Dana, the price of kindling wood for
lighting furnace, foundry and factory
fires would nearly double; the men
now walking the streets in
idleness and apprehension would
be recalled to their daily labor and
money would be promptly returned to
circulation in its former quantities. The
whole country would be booming in
week, and Mr.. Clevelands second ad-
ministration would eclipse, in the mat
ter Of national prosperity, that of his
immediate predecessor.
But he would lose the continued in
dorsement of England and gain the hate
of the mugwumps.
