Business Will now Improve.

Thepassage of the tariff bill will
cause an improvement in business
first, because it removes the uncer-
tainty that has existed as to what
would be the character of the bill that
would be passed, or whether any
would be passed, which caused sus-
pension of business; and secondly, be-
cause the bill that was passed will
give relief from the high taxes impos
ed by the Mckinley bill, which is
greatly responsible for the hard times,
though, as the N. Y. Herald says, sit
does not embody the tariff revision
which the people had a right to ex-
pect and which they commanded in
laundering tones at the polls in 1898.
1t does not embody the revision which
the democratic party was pledged to
give and for which it's most patriotic
leaders struggled so CALAMITY. But,
disappointing and unsatisfactory as it
is, the new bill is marked improve
ment GU the Mckinley law, and, more
over, its enactment puts an end to an
agitation which was infiicting untold
losses upon the country and pushing it
to the verge of panic.
For failure to carry the moderate,
judicious revision which the country
needed and the people commanded,
the democratic party cannot, in our
opinion, justly be held responsible.
The representatives of that party in
the House not only promptly passed
such a bill and sent it to the Senate.
thereby fulfilling the pledges of the
party and their duty to the people, but
but they stood out for it nobly as long
as there was any hope of saving it,and
yielded only when they were forced to
choose between the Senate bill and no
legislation.
For the obstruction of revision
through six long months, with its con-
sequent business stagnation and des-
titution among the working classes;
for the defeat of such law as the PEG
pie wanted and the country needed;
for the failure of the democratic party
to carry out it's pledges to the full, the
responsibility must fall upon the petty
ring of democratic Senators headed
by Mr.. Arthur P. German. Had the
Senate contained larger democratic
majority these men could have been
stripped of their power for mischief as
recreants to their party and public en-
emies, and an honest Tariff bill passed
months ago in spite of their devilry
But, unfortunately, the democratic
majority in the Senate was so narrow
that the Gorman-Brice cabal had it in
their power to ''hold up'' the entire
American people as we'll as both
branches of Congress, and as every
body knows they did not scruple to
use that power with merciless disre-
gard of consequences, either to their
party or the country"

THE NOMINATION. OF HARRY
TUCKER.
THE DUTY OF THE DEMOCRATS


The delegates to the Congressional
Convention which met in Buchanan,
Botetourt county, on last Thursday,
the 10Th instant, to nominate Demo
cratic candidate for Congress for this
District, did their duty well and nobly
by the nomination, by reclamation, of
Hon. Fl. st. G. Tucker for reelection,
and it now becomes the duty of all
Democrats in the district to rally with
unanimity and enthusiasm to the sup
port OF the nominee. The public and
private character of Mr.. Tucker is so
we'll and so favorably known that it
needs no commentator. He is not
only man of pure character, public
and private, but man who possesses
great ability, which enables him to be
of great service to his country in the
halls of legislation. His reputation for
ability and distinguished services as a
legislator is not confined to this dis
trict or State, but embraces the whole
country. His reputation is national,
and he is recognized not only as an hon
or to his district and State. but to the
whole country.
1t is not only the duty, but it should
be the pleasure, if every Democrat in
this district to give him a cordial sup
port. This is not a time for listlessness
or Indifference en- the part of any
Democrat, but a time when each
should consider it his duty to work
earnestly for the success of the Demo
cratic candidate. All the elements of
opposition in this district will cooper
ate to defeat the Democratic party,
and no Democrat should fail not only
to vote, but to work diligently and
earnestly tor the success of the Demo
cratic nominee.

A Physician Shot From Ambush.

The Greenbrier Independent saws
that about 2 p. m. on the 9th inst,
near Montgomery. Fayette county, W.
Va, as DR.. J. Will Davis, prominent
Montgomery physician, was returning
home from a professional visit to Nee
ca, on Morris creek, he was fired on
from ambush three times in rapid sue
cession. One of the balls from a 80
calibre weapon entered his right side,
below the ribs, and passed clear
through his body. He died the next
day. AS he was very popular with all
classes, it is thought by some that he
was shot by outlaws who misiook him
for a constable.

Did not Know it was Loaded.

On Sunday morning of last week
near Carriers Bridge, Albemarle coun.
ty, young man named Hicks had oc
casion to visit a neighbor named Glenn
ents, taking his gun with him. He
found Clements asleep, and jokingly
said, "if you don't get up I'll shoot
you" Clements replied, ''all right |
can shoot too" reaching for his gun
and, pointing it at Hicks, pulled the
trigger and sent the whole load into
Hicks eye. He had used his gun Sat
urday, it is claimed, and had unloaded
it. Some one else had subsequently
used it and he didn't know it was
loaded. Hicks was killed instantly.

skull; Mrs. Joseph Manning, a severe
cut on knee and abrasion of shoulder
Miss Ella Kelley, severe scalp wounds
and otherwise badly cut and bruised
Miss Virgie Kelley, sprained wrist, lip
cut, otherwise uninjured, as was the
child.
Mrs. Mary Manning is in a serious
condition, and owing to her age, the
result may prove fatal. Mr.. Robert

chin and had several teeth knocked
out. The injured persons were taken
to the Mountain Top Hotel and made
