SERVICES AT LIVINGSTON.
why Money Is Scarce In Nelson and Other
Couptjes-Sudden Death.

LOVENSTON, VA, June 9.-(Special y
An interesting series of services has been
in progress in Lovingston this week
under the management OF Rev. Mercer
Blain, of Conesvile; Rev. j. W. Order,
and Rev. Mr.. Lee, of North Carolina.
Much enthusiasm is manifested by the
large CONGREGATIONS which have been in
attendance.
Tobacco seasons have been so few and
far between this spring that the greater
portion of last years tobacco crop Is
still in the country. and this Is the cause
of the scarcity of money in Nelson and
other tobacco sections. Tobacco plants
are very scarce. and 1t Is estimated that
less than two thirds of the ordinary crop
will be planted.
The negro shot by Mr.. John II. Coleman
on Saturday last, and who was reported
TO have since died. is still alive, and is
expected to survive his injuries.
Charlie Page. a young man in his l7th
year, living near Slaughters, in this
county, went hunting a few days ago and

dred yards from his residence In dying
condition. He was unconscious. and died
almost Immediately after being found.

THE POWER OF EXAMPLE.

Since the inception OF THE TINES as friend
of labor, and its continuation as such, the
other newspapers of Washington have sud-
denly become cognizant of the fact that the
sentiment supporting The TINES is largely in
the majority in this city. The index of this
gratifying awakening appears in the news
columns of these newspapers, where the work
ingmen have been more largely noticed than
ever before.
But no indication of the change appears
In the editorial utterances. As heretofore,
they still either skillfully disguise the infu-
ence of the local or national lobby, or exer-
else so large a caution and courtesy that real
wrongs get small expression. This double
faced policy is popularity supposed TO fool
the average workingmen, and SO it might in
any city but Washington. Here, however,
is a class OF intelligent artisans such as no
city in the land can boast 1t knows its
friends, and demands that these friends
be true friends. Contrary TO the belief of
many, workingmen do read editorials, and
they are as able TO judge their character as
are any other class of readers.
linus II was tnat wren TWO washington
newspapers attempted to duplicate in a
measure the labor news which THE TIMES
prints, they found that their reporters were
rarely admitted to labor meetings and that
regular correspondence from the inside was
hard to obtain.
This paper claims no special privileges from
the labor organizations of the District be-
cause it tries by the quality of its editorials
and the quantity of its news to stand by the
workingmen. 1t hopes, and hopes sincerely,
that these newspapers will obtain and print
all the labor news they can get; but it utters
a warning to the effect that no double dealing
will go. and that make a good newspaper
and they will have to buy it," is an INSULT
cient theory.

DANGER IN A NEW DIRECTION.

Alarmists are still running around with hue
and cry about the awful growth of anarchy.
Timid people grow pale, politicians get ar
gumentative, pulpit orators become vocifer-
Gus when the red propaganda is under dis
cussion. As a matter Of statistical TACT, the
number of deaths caused each year by an
archists in America is less than the annual
crop Of fatalities along the lines OF any large
city's street railway system.
Anarchy is an easy thing TO dilate upon.
1t contains great subject matter for rounded
rhetorical effort, for turning oratorical peri
DDS. for faring stump speeches, and Is salt
and pepper for the seasoning of Congressional
debate. But anarchy itself is harmless enough.
Its violent manifestations are only occasional
in occurrence, Its growth is confined 70 CEN
tiers of dense population, and its proselytes
are drawn from the ranks of the demented.
The greatest danger in anarchy is that its
pyrotechnical sideshow takes the eyes of the
people of of their real lenemies-the Socialists,
Collectivists, Communists, Paternalists, and
the various other believers in centralized gov
ernment.
The growth Of these ideas is remarkable
and alarming. Many of our university class
rooms are hot-beds of such sentiment under
the nourishment of professors, whose close
study has made them dreamers and theorists.
Laboring people are too ready to listen TO the
advocacy Of such treachery to true democ-
racy. The pulpit has been ready victim
to this scheme of government because it
promises the very evident anomaly Of an ag
gregate morality greater that the sum of in
dividual morality.
The clear-headed citizen will find many
things lacking in the new system. If God has
given him powers greater than his fellow man
he will have no incentive or opportunity to
exercise it for his own good, the good of his
family. or the good OF the State. II is useless
to continue further in critism of these
ephemeral theories. They are as old as Plato,
and through all history they have appeared
at intervals in new guise.
The present manifestation that must be
guarded is in the tendency to an all powerful
Federal government. As the independence
OF the individual American citizen has given
US unparalleled advancement in invention
and manufacture SO the independence OF the
American State has given US unparalleled ad-
vancement in trade and commerce. And
now como these theorists who would have US
dream it all away in serious attention to their
glittering generalities
1t we're better for the country at large if
these advanced thinkers" were all bundled
of and put within distinct boundaries. Then
they could work out their own salvation and
the country at large would try to get along
without them.

WASHINGTON GROVE CAMP.

New Lease Adopted by the Association
After Considerable Discussion.
A new form of lease was adopted at a meet
Association held in the grove tabernacle last
evening. The main features in the new lease
are the same as those in the old form, the
principal difference being in the number OF
words, which are 600 less in the former than
in the latter
During the discussion which followed the
presentation of the new form DR.. NJ. d. Peck,
u member Of the board OF trustees of the asso-
citation, said he was the only member to op-
pose the lease, and that the other trustees
pretended to be able to meet the expenses of
the association by one method Of taxation,
whereas they knew they would be compelled
to levy an assessment in order to raise the
necessary funds.
DIR. Peck said he did not favor the new
form, for it had many defects. He was op-
posed to reduction OF taxes, but was in
favor of a uniform system of taxation, no
matter how it was obtained. The association
could not afford u reduction now. as they
needed all the money collected last year and
more besides. He then proceeded to state
what Mr.. Geo failed to state regarding the in
tention of the trustees.
They intend to ignore the ground rent al
together" he said, "and levy the taxes as they
were levied this year. That which is stated
in the lease is binding upon you and the trus-
tees can go on and collect the money which
is mentioned in the lease. Notwithstanding
you have previously made contribution to
the association. In the light OF these facts
are you willing to take upon yourselves the
responsibility of doing any such thing.
President Gee said there was NO intention
on the part Of the trustees to do as DIR. Peck
claimed.
Mr.. Plat thought the old lease was good
enough, and moved to lay the new form of
lease on the table, but his motion was lost.
Upon motion Of Mr.. Tracy it was agreed to
recsmmit the matter to the trustees Tor imme-
diate revision.
A recess was taken for twenty minutes, dur
ing which the trustees held a conference and
revised the form Of lease to the satisfaction of
the stockholders, and it was adopted. The
meeting then adjourned subject to the call Of
the president.

COREANS ATTACK JAPANESE.
Palace Guard at Seoul Said TO Have Been
the Aggressors and to Have Been
Defeated

the Aggressors and to Have Been
Defeated.
SHANGHAI, July 24.-A dispatch received
here from Nagasaki. on the southwest coast
OF the island Of Kioo-Sioo. Japan, says that Q
detachment of Corean troops, at the instiga-
ton Of the Chinese residents, have attacked
he Japanese garrison and were defeated.
LONDON, July 24.-The Japanese legation In
this city has received a dispatch confirming
the news received by the way Of Nagasaki OF
an attack Of Corean troops upon the japanese
garrison at Seoul. The dispatch states that
the palace guard were the aggressors. 1t
also states that the Corean troops at Seoul
number 5000 men, with several gatling guns.
Information received at the Japanese lega-
tion here yesterday from Toxic is to the effect
that the trouble referred to in the Shanghai
dispatch occurred at Seoul the capital OF
Corea. and not at Nagasaki, rs reported. The
mistake In locating the scene of the difficulty
is due probably to the interruption OF over
land communications between Seoul and
Shanghai, in which case all news reaching
the latter place from Seoul would have to be
sent via Nagasah. The cablegram giving
the minister tho news Of the difficulty which
occurred yesterday came to hand to-day and
Is as follows:
"Corean troops made an uncalled Sor attack
upon the japanese troops stationed in Seoul,
and the troops returned tho volleys."
The dispatch gave no particulars regard
ing the cause OF the trouble, and nothing as
to the number Of persons who may have been
killed. The minister's opinion, however, is
that 1t is the result Of some indiscreet action
on the part of the Corean soldiers, which are
described at the legation as being undis-
ciplined and hard to restrict In what they do.
The. minister feels sure the firing was un-
authorized by the government of Corea, and
he says it is very likely that it has already
made an apology, expressing regret at the
occurrence.
1t can be stated authoritatively that there is
no foundation for the published report that
Secretary Gresham had apologized to NJ.
Tateno, the japanese minister, for utterances
contained in a telegram sent by the Secretary
of State to the japanese government through
Minister Dunn at Toxic. When Secretary
Gresham's attention was directed to the pub
lished report he at once entered a most sweep
ing and vigorous denial Of its accuracy, de-
claring that he had made no apology, nor
was any called for.

Urgent Demand for Removal of Coxeyires

The following letter was received by the
Vice President yesterday relative to the
Coxeyite encampment on the flats at the Viz
ginia end Of the Aqueduct bridge:
'BALLsToS, ALEXANDRIA COUNTY, VA,
July %, 1894.
"To the President Of the Senate:
There are now camped on malarial flats,
a government reservation at the VirgInia end
Of the Aqueduct bridge, 900 to 500 foolish,
misguided men. with no means of obtaining
livelihood, nearly starved and without proper
shelter, fit subjects for maiarial diseases.
''If some provision is not soon made for the
removal and sending these men to their homes
or where they can obtain proper food and
shelter they will nearly all be stricken with
malarial diseases and there will be a pesti-
lence almost under the dome Of the Capitol.
Il respectfully submit this communication
to you, the President of the Senate. that you
may lay this matter before your honorable
body. in order that 1t may receive the prompt
attention the importance of the case demands.
