curling hair, and was dressed in black frock
and white woollen shawl.
The next day, about sixty miles further west

about 40 years, dressed in brown petticoat and
black waist. Both had evidently been dead
only few days,
The steamers barometer had been very low
for nine days, showing that she was skirting the
edge of II hurricane. Capt. Hodge thinks the
bodies were from some vessel that had gone to
pieces in the blast, although there was wreck.

The Week. Press.

We have received lie first number OF
the Hanover Herald. which is to be pub
lished weekly at Ashland. Va c. c.
Anderson and w. Il. Walton are the edi-
tors and proprietors OF this promising
journalistic venture. and f. l.. c. Scott Is
the associate editor. With this team the
Herald ought to make for Itself more
than State reputation, and, judging
from the first issue. 1t will do this very
thing. We find in its columns items OF
news and editorial paragraphs which we
feel bound to copy for the benefit OF our
readers.
We trust that the Herald will continue
to give particular attention to county
news. Hanoverians by the thousand live
In Richmond and other cities. and the
great majority OF them would take
Hanover paper II they could always see
In Its columns a record Of local events and
personal mention of county people.
Too many Of the weekly papers in Viz
ginia neglect local affairs and give their
attention mainly TO national and State
news This Is great mistake. They
cannot compete on these lines with the
weekly editions OF great city papers; but
the local field is all their own. and is
very fruitful II they will but TIL 1t indus
triously. The Hanover Herald, We be-
lleve. Is going to be model weekly. We
do not like to say country weekly"
because Ashland is a town OF very con-
siderable Importance. and some day here

Tariff Taxation.

In a recent speech In Auburn. N. Y,
Congressman Harter. Of Ohio, made a
strong anti-protection speech. We might
say that it was an argument against a
tariff of any kind. Here is a little extract
from that speech, which will give the
reader a taste Of its quality. We quote:
Tariff taxation is naturally a very I'M
tust thing, inasmuch as II Is collected
upon what we consume. and not upon
wealth, capital. or what we have accumu-
lated. 1t is unjust. you see. at glance,
for under this system very poor man.
having a large family. would pay a larger
sum for the support OF his government.
even under tariff levied for revenue
only, than very rich man having no
family whatever"
Mr.. Harter's argument proves that there
ought to be no tariff on sugar. "This
sugar-tax Is a tax on what We consume.
and not upon wealth. capital. or what
we have invested" Under this system, a
very poor man having q large family
would pay a larger sum for the support
of the government. even under a tariff
for revenue only. than very rich man
having no family" 1t IL q poor answer to
Mr.. Harter's argument to claim that this
sugar-tax is levied under a tariff for
revenue only: for the injustice done to the
poor man Is not done away with by the
yielding tax. An unjust tax IL not
made just by the fact that 1t yields a
large revenue. II that were the fact, then
the income-tax would thus be made a just

The Retail Trade.

On page 2 Of this issue or the Dispatch
we print three columns Of matter contain
ing expressions OF opinion on the part
OF leading retail men as to the condition
OF trade.
The report Is that trade has improved
very much IN the past two weeks. ard the
rommon belief Is that prosperity Will
gradually return to the land.
That. too. is our decided opinion. There
ts nothing at all wrong with the country
The people have fine crops. and fine
health. and they would be having fine
business but for the agitation which We
have undergone for year or two.
Tariff agitations are necessary evils
they are 10 be expected now and then
but we should rejoice that this one is
behind us, rather than before us. The
tariff is settled certainly for two years,
and we may well believe for a score Of
wears Bills will doubtless be passed "a
correct obvious errors or glaring wrongs
1n particular items of the Senate bill, but
the whole question will not be torn open
again for a long time 20 come. There is
not constituency In this land which now
really wishes our tariff laws to DO COM
pletely overhauied again.
We may feel sure that better times
are near at hand. Gradually all of our
manufactures viii become busy. Then
they VIII enlarge their pay-rolls. and then
the retailers viii rejoice.
The burden OF business depression
falls with great severity upon the retail
trade. When men by the hundreds are
thrown out OF work all retailers suffer.
Then collections become slow. while the
retailers mus. meet their own Obligations
ldst the same as before.
There are many retailers who feel as II
they had just fought through another long
aud distressing war. and whose constant
wonder Is that they have survived II. But
while these merchants are first 10 feel

tmong the earliest 20 feel returning pros
tcnty 1t Is pleasant 10 know that they

General Rosser Returns Home.

General Rossers letter published In the
Dispatch of yesterday shows that he must
have felt himself to be out Of place all
the time he was separated from the DEM
ooratic party. An inattentiye perusal OF
his letter might leave the impression that
he does not intend to act with the Demo-
cratic party hereafter; but careful read
ing OF 1t will leave no doubt upon the
mind of the reader that he will hereafter
keep step to the music Of the old Demo-
cratic party, or, as he styles 1t. the new
Democratic party.
Note that although General Roseer says
he regards the present as a new Demo-
cratic party, and claims for himself that
he Is a Jeffersonion Democrat of the old
school, yet his actions will speak louder
than his words when next November he
casts his vote for Smith s. Turner, the
Democratic nominee for the national
House Of Representatives In General Ros-
ser's district. This he emphatically de-
clares that he intends to do.
Note further. what is more significant,
that General Rosser declares that safety
Is not 70 be found in new parties. but In
old principles AS We read this utter
ance, it means that he will hereafter act
with the Democratic party and will en-
deavor TO secure the reforms ne regards
as desirable by action within the Demo-
cratic party as 1t Is now organized. Ger
tainly practical man. such as he Is
will never be found, to use Lord Dun
dreary's phrase, 'focking by himself"
Whatsoever things are Of good report
within the Democratic party every true
patriot In the South ought to endeavor
TO commend to the support OF all such
good men and true" as General Rosser.
