We Haven't Forgotten "Appomattox."

II Messrs. Bissell and Maxwell are 50
busy helping the New York Democrats
10 win victory on November 9Th as
TO be unable to give TO the matter OF
Appomattox post-of,ice the attention that
II deserves. we forgive them, ana shall
possess our soul in patience But We
would have them know that the blunder
made In changing the name Of apo
mattox" to that Of "Surrender' has by
no means passed out Of the minds OF
our people.
The general judgment is that Appomat-
tox must have it, own name again. Upon
this question the Union and the Confede-
rate veterans are at one.
Though there Is no longer much news
paper discussion of this subject the au-
thorities at Washington should know
that public opinion is fixed in favor
Of restoring TO Appomattox Its name.
and 1t Will be lasting reproach to the
Poet-Ofiice Department II Justice Is not
done In this matter; particularly az 1t
has been shown that the people OF APP
pomattox post-office were never consulted
as to the change, and never knew that
any change was in contemplation until
the postmaster there was ordered to re-
commend another name for the post
office.
Give to Appomattox It's own again,
we say. and so say the people of this
whole country.

a Good Sign in New York.

The New York Tribune Is evidently
alarmed at the prospect In that State
1t says sorrowfully that the Repubn
cans, though confident Of success, arr
not employing the means which woulC
insure success. We quote:
Without making any charge Of inten
tional Indifference we declare that tn,
Republican State Committee is neglect
Ing its imperative work. 1t is not system
atically putting effective speakers on tbs
stump in regions where their efforts
are especially needed. IL is not distri
buting campaign documents where they
are urgently demanded. 1t T. not meeting
at all points and i'll conclusive manner
the adroit persistent. and energetic can
vass which Senator Hill IS directing
throughout this State"
That is decidedly encouraging to the
Democrats. The Tribune further says:
Every private in the Republican ranks
ought TO be at work now and to keep al
It till the polls close. But II this is the
duty OF those who have no official task
to perform, the duty of the men intrusted
with the conduct Of the campaign Is
Infinitely stronger. From reports which
We Know 10 De trustworthy we rear II
that these men are leaving the campaign
practically TO take care of itself In al
least some of the country districts"
And much. more of the same sort Let
the Democrats Of Virginia be inspired
with increased confidence by the Tri-
bune's complaints; but let them by no
means commit the blunder with which
the Tribune charges the Republican lead
ers in New York.

There have been only one or two new

If the national capital have so many
n its citizens been anxious to be vacci-
mated. Many heads Of Washington families
are seeing to 1t that all the members OF
their households are vaccinated' ana
servants. nurses particularly, are re-
quired to have themselves so treated on
pain of dismissal.
This. we think, a very reasonable re-

Mothers are careful enough as to their
babes. but heretofore have not usually
thought to inquire II the nurses in
whose arms the babes spend much time
have been vaccnated.
The appearance of smallpox at the IA
tional capital thus early in the winter
has put every city in this land on guard
against it, and defensive meaiu res are
being adopted everywhere. so we should
not wonder II we had fewer smallpox
cases In the United States this winter
than in any winter for many years past.

What Democratic Defeat Would Mean

We do like to admit the possibility
or the defeat next Tuesday of the Demo
cratic hosts In any congressional district In
Virginia, but In writing upon the sub
ject We cannot but conccde that there
is possibility. as we have said else
where, OF losing here or there a con-
gresham, and so starting on journey
back to Mahoneism. The Danville Re
gister has the following appropriate ar
ticle on this subject. We quote:
The loss In November of half the
districts in the State would not of it.
self alone consign Virginia to the Re
publican ranks. revive Mahoncism In this
Commonwealth. and carry us back 10
the days of negro rule, but ii would
have tendency that way. 1t would be
long step in that direction. a step 10
retrace which would cost US much trouble
and expense.
Nothing but apathy on the part of
Democrats and dissensions in our ranks
Republicans stand ready To take advan-
tage OF our defeat under those Circum-
stances, and TO again assail us and en-
deavor to wrest from us the control OF
State and county government. Defeat to
the Democratic party in one or more
Virginia districts means the .reorganiza-
ton and the reviving of the Republican
party. No Democrat need be told what
that means for Virginia. We cannot af-
ford break In the ranks.
The duty of the hour. then. Is 70,
keep our ranks well closed up. bury re-
sentiments and personal prejudices, ana
work for the success of the Democratic
party. There are enough Democratic
voters. The thing TO do is to get them
out on election day. and not allow our
standard-bearers TO fall behind on &C
count OF apathy. Indifference. and the
hugging Of personal disappointment Oh
the part Of our own forces"

Reflection.

Dost thou recall those days Of yore,
When you and first met?
The walks upon yon candy shor',
Canst thou SO soon forget?
With moonbeams on the waters, love,
We watched the white-caps play,
While distant cooel little dove
In woodland far away.
Twas thus that you and I would stroll
Together by the seas:
We saw the pillows toss and roll;
We cat beneath the trees.
The little birds To nest had gone.
While perfume flied the air,
Evening sang its lullaby song,
And life was all of cheer.
All could I now again but be
Away from toll and woe,
To watch the stately ships with thee.
As on their journey CO.
And walk again upon the shore,
Within the evening glow;
Could hear the waters lash and roar,
With measured beat so low.
Thy beaming face | often see
Within my dreams at night:
And through the day, with thoughts OF
thee.
Is ever in my sight;
Your memory noer shall ! forget,
Though parted. as we be;
The day that you and I first met
VIII e'er remain with me.

A Prediction.

Charles y. Davis, chairman Of the DEM
ocratic State Central Committee OF Con-
necticut, says:
Il visit New York about once a week,
and have had a good opportunity to judge
Of the feeling there. j am very confident
that Hill will win. To be elected Morton
must come down to the bridge with more
than 5000 majority. and i doubt whether
he is able to do IL in view of the constant
~ growing sentiment in favor of the
Democratic nominee. ! have noticed the
wonderful way in which Hill is gaining
in the short space of one week. Prominent
anti-snappers are every day DESERVING
Wheeler and coming out for Hill. Morton
will be weakened by Wheeler. Half of
his votes will come from Republicans who
are opposed to Morton because he is
handled by Plat. There will be some
surprises in the New York campaign, or
I'm greatly in error"
We trust that this shrewd Connecticut
Democratic leader will prove to be a
prophet in this instance. Mr.. Hill is in
the United States Senate. and is thus well
provided for; nor would defeat for Gov
ernor lay him upon the shelf as a candi-
date for President. But 1t is not TO his
interests that the Democrats ought TO be
looking, but to the future of the Demo-
cratic party.

endeavoring TO make it appear that the
German tariff bill was passed in the in

combats this assumption. 1t says:
During the period of protection, now
extending over more than thirty years,
the Southern States have but very small
share in the alleged benefits Of the system.

little or no representation in Congress.
and &c: long time after that their in
teres.J and Industries, as such, received
but little recognition from the hands OF
the dominant party. When. however. the
work Of tariff revision was taken up, IL
was necessary to treat the South as the
North was treated, and we defy any one
TO read through the schedules impartally
and find any Indication that this plan was
not faithfully followed out"
The Herald admits that during this pc
Rod irregular concessions were made to
local interests all over the country. Blu,
1t proceeds to name the articles one by one
which are said by the Republican malig-
nants TO have been cared for in the in

that the new tariff cannot be truthfully
