The most effective campaign work,
says ]. J. Mcdonald, Republican
nominee for Congress from First dis
trict, has always been done by him
from midnight to dawn. Asa speak
er he is not gifted, in the graces that
attract the people and command their
support he is grossly deficient, facts
and figures do not count with him
unless he can distort them TO serve
his purposes, but as Il midnight
prowler, he says, put him down as q
winner. Not success as a political
worker in the broad light of the day,
You can always rely upon him, he
tell us, as vote-getter in the silent
watches of the night. The declara-
ton thus made by him, proof OF
which we have at hand, disclosing the
means by which he hopes to win in
the Congressional fight, is commend
ed to the thoughtful consideration OF
our readers. United as the con
stituency will be, upon which he has
boosted he could always rely upor
for support, if the opportunity
was presented for organizing them il
the midnight meetings, will the
Democrats guard against the surprise
which might cause their defeat, by
going to the polls and casting theil
votes for Jones?

Democratic Ticket.

Political speaking is to be the or
der of the day from Wednesday next
to Tuesday, November 9th, in the
county of Accomac Several appoint
ments made by the Democratic coun-
ty chairman. for popular and elo-
quent speakers, appear in this issue
others will be made for every section
of the county, of which due notice
will be given through the ENTKR-
PRISE, by posters and otherwise. All
Democrats will agree that two weeks
is not too long a canvass and the
campaign from this time on should
be active, aggressive and be partici-
pated in by every Democrat worthy
of the name. Apathetic we may be
now-and if so, apathy must give
place to vigilance and at once. If
not registered, that important duty
should not be delayed a moment
longer, if in need of transfer, it
should be secured and handed to the
registrar at once, if qualified to vote,
we should attend the meetings TO be
held and be warmed into new life for
the work before us, or if not TO learn
our duty and do it. No good Demo
crat in Accomac can afford to stay
from the polls on election day or fail
for any reason. if possible, TO cast
his vote for Jones, our nominee.

Nafigable Watsrs and Resources of
Virginia.

Capt. j. B. Baylor, of the United
States coast survey, read paper on
the Navigable Waters and Resources
of Virginia, at the Immigration con-
vention in session in the City of
Richmond, this week. Captain Bay
lor said in part: "Chesapeake bay
is one of the richest agricultural re
gions of the earth and its fertility
can be compared only with that of the
valleys of the Nile, the Ganges and
other great rivers. 1t is the most
prolific fishing ground of like pro-
portion in the world. The total har-
vest from these waters of oysters
alone has been over one hundred and
fifty million bushels during the past
ten wears. This enormous quantity
of valuable food has been practically
free gift from bounteous nature.
The poorest immigrant can have on
these shores an abundance and va
riety of food for the taking which
only the well-to do can obtain i'll
most parts of the world. The pro
spective immigrant can be sure that
he will find here cheap and certain
transportation for the product OF his
labor to every market of the world.
No great corporation can dictate to
him what toll he shall pay. The
captain of the largest vessel ever
constructed can approach the cares
of Virginia with safety. He will
hardly have to think of the condition
of the weather, nor will he have to
study his tidal table TO know the
stage of the tide He will find here
no dangerous bar upon whose I'M
provement thousands have been eX-
pended to delay for one single hour
his entrance. He will find Il great
inland bay, in which the navieS OF
the world could lie 1T anchor, which
has been traversed by the Great
Eastern for more than one hundred
and fifty miles. He will not find il
necessary to enter any great tidal
dock to discharge with ease his cargo
at any stage of the tide and with the
wind in any quarter whatsoever.
Should his vessel need repair he can
now find here the largest dry dock
on the American continent and one
Of the very best equipped shipbuild-
ing wards in the whole world.
The business of the principal
ports OF Chesapeake bay and its
tributaries may be summarized as
follows: For the port of Baltimore,
where an inland journey of over 15C
miles is necessary, 1,4O6 vessels either
entered from foreign countries OIL
cleared for foreign countries during
the year ended June 80. 1898, export
ing and importing $S7, AGO worth
of domestic and foreign products; fol
Newport News, 142 vessels exporting
and importing $S,144,253 worth OF
domestic and foreign products; fol
Richmond, 30 vessels exporting and
importing S2,4SS,5S6 worth of do
nestle and foreign products. There
is no part of the United States q
speak advisedly-I am familiar with
the resources, climate and with the
condition of the working people il
almost every county Of every State
east of the Sierra Nevada mountains
that offers greater advantages to the
immigrant than the tide-water sec
ton of Virginia; nowhere else can he
obtain more easily not only the ne
cessities, but even the luxuries o
life

The Staunton Vindicator gives the
Democratic voters OF the Tenth Dis
trict some good advice relative to the
approaching contest, which is
equally applicable to this county. 1t
says;
Let no Democrat be lulled into de-
pending on the Walton law to give
onr Congressional candidate a ma
iority The denunciation of it by
the Republican press is so exaggera-
ted that it has much the appearance
of purpose to delude the Democrats
into the belief that work is useless
and that they can stay at home and
let the Walton law do the work The
Walton law will not do any more
work" for the Democrats than it
does for their opponents. 1t is I'M
questionable that large number OF
ignorant black voters will attempt
to vote without the assistance of the
constable-they are being trained to
do that now by being taught to spell
the name Of the Republican candi-
date in this district-and in the
attempt, like any other ignorant men,
they will lose their votes. But the
Democrats will, just as unquestiona-
bly,, lose a percentage Of theirs.
Even under the old election law a
large percentage OF white men who
can read and write lost their votes
where scratching had to be done,
and befogged as they will be by a
new system, a still larger percentage
will lose their votes under the Walton
law.

The responsibility for the hard
times was placed where it belonged,
in late speech by Senator Daniel
in the following manner: "The
Democrats are not responsible for
hard times, because depression has
been worldwide, and hard-times,
strikes, and riots were in full blast
before the Democrats came into
power. He would not say that this
was the direct result of Republican
legislation, but he did claim that Re-
publican legislation had stimulated
the panic and increased the burden
of hard times upon the people, A
Democratic Congress had gone far
toward correcting the maladminis-
tration OF the Republicans, and the
beneficent results of the new tariff
would be as certainly visible as the
crop next season, whose seed has
already been sown." The henchmen
of Mcdonald say to the contrary and
it is for the Democrats of Accomac
to say by their votes which they
believe.

Oyster Industry.

BALTIMORE, October 15.-The sea-
son for dredging and scraping for
oysters in Maryland waters opened
this morning. The prospects are
that large volume of business VIII
be transacted. More vessels are en-
gagged in the oyster business this
season than for several years and the
failure of the fruit crop is expected
to create a good demand for oysters.
The entire fleet engaged in dredging
will number 1900 vessels. Each
vessel will employ on an average of
eight men, and $4,000 men will be
employed in the business until April
This number does not include the
tongers and in the counties 1000 are
engaged in longing. The packing
houses in Baltimore and at points
on the eastern and western shores
employ about 10000 more people. A
careful estimate recently made by q
prominent packer, places the sum
of persons interested in the oyster
industry at $4,000.

Startling Train Robbery iii Virginia.

The most daring train robbery
ever committed in Virginia, If not III
the entire country, was committed
Friday night 18th inst, on the Rich
nond, Fredericksburg and Potomac
road, about eight miles from treder-
icksburg. Seven masked men COM
mitted the deed. 1t is not known
how much money was taken. After
committing the deed the men COM
PEELED the engine crew to uncouple
the locomotive, jumped aboard, aud
made good their escape in the diree,
tion of the Potomac river, where 1t
is supposed they had a boat in wait
ing to take them to the Maryland
side.
The train selected for the robbery
was the one which LETT Richmond at
2 p. N. The robbery occurred near
Acquia Creek, between Brook station
and Wide Water. 1t is not known
at what point the robbers boarded
the train, and the first intimation
anybody had that trouble was brew
ing was when two men jumped from
the coal car down into the cab, and,
dwelling revolvers at the astonished
engineer and fireman, ordered them
to stop the train.
The engineer hesitated for an in
slant, but when informed that he
must stop the train or be killed he
closed the throttle, and the train,
which had been running at about
forty miles an hour, slowed UP, and
finally came to a complete stand
still.
Judging from the manner in which
the bandits arranged the signals for
stopping the train. as we'll as The
way they afterwards made their
escape, it was evident that several
OF them were experienced railroad
men.
The amount secured by the robbers
at first was estimated at from $4,000
to $500, 000-now it is believed it will
not exceed $4,000 in currency.
The Governor OF Virginia and rail
road company, each have offered re-
wards OF $1,000 for the arrest of the
robbers.
George Garter, ex-convict, is suspect
ed as the leader of the AcQuia Greek
train robbers, but no clue has been
obtained fixing the crime upon him
or any one else.

votes on the 9Th of November will do
so because they favor higher taxa

the restoration of the high protec-

want in fact, to undo all the legisla-

of the masses. II Democrat will
you help them to do this by staying
away from the polls on election day?

San Antonio Is Right In 1t.

There is a man in San Antonio
who wears on his shirt-front a
chameleon, and he is attracting
considerable attention.
Webster says: "Chameleon, a
lizard-like reptile of the genus. The
skin is without scales, but is COW
cred with fine granulations the
tail is prehensile and the body is
much compressed giving it high
back. Its color changes more or
less with the color of the objects
about it, or with its temper when
disturbed. In dark, cool place it
is nearly white, or grayish; on adj
hitting the light, it changes to
brown, bottle-green, or blood-red
of various shades, and more or
less notified in arrangement"
The chameleon is fastened to
the. desired object by means of
pins, while alive, and certainly no
little suffering is endured by
the reptile. This shirt-front Or
nament is the latest fad among
Broadway swells of New York
City, and those not possessing one
are not in the class with the "lat-
est out" The "new fad" is not

perhaps you would not think so, but a

such a simple thing and so common that
very few people, unless 1t is a case of

New York is one of the healthiest places
