suffered from the ruinous sway of pro-
tection--of corporate monopoly, of
unequal taxing systems and by
methods of pubic robbery under the
forms of law-to imagine that the
remedy for the evils that have afflicted
them is the worse evil of debased
currency, of infringements on proper
ty rights. of popular and mob terror
ism, of conflscation and reputation.
The ways of the extreme "populists I"
are a menance equally with the ways
of the conspirators who will try to
ruin the democratic party If they can
not rule it for their own corrupt and
bad ends.
The democratic party must be pre-
served in It's entirety and with all its
elements of power as the best ruling
conservative element In the country.
The great principle of freedom of
trade--that one man shall not be tax
ed to substitute the enterprises of an
other man must be maintained.
Equality Of taxation In all the meth
DDS of creating public revenues must
be maintained. An honest money
system must be maintained, with the
use of both metals for coinage on a
parity Of value with each other, which
can be reached by international agree
ments. Freedom of science, free edu-
cation, the principles of social order,
the freedom Of labor alike from the
tyranny Of employers and of unions,
must be maintained, and these are
primary articles Of democratic faith.
The efforts of "Hill democrats" and
of the "populist" apostles to destroy
the democratic party should be resist
ed by union OF all honest democrats
to sustain democratic principles in
their integrity and to preserve for the
future the best American traditions of

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN
For the week ending Tuesday, April
18th, 1894

For the week ending Tuesday, April
18th, 1894.
The warm weather during the first
eighteen days Of March caused the
snow to rapidly disappear and except
in the extreme northern counties no
protection was given to grains during
the ten days of severe weather at the
end of the month. The result was
probably most felt by clover, and re-
ports generally, show wheat and rye to
be in fair condition. Northern coun-
ties still have some snow and the seas.
on there Is practically unopened.
The weather conditions of the past
week have been unfavorable for work
but favorable to the grain now in the
ground. Seeding is well advanced in
some southern counties, and in others,
or probably all, some work has been
done; the central counties are in near
ly the same condition, the work being
less advanced as one progresses north
ward. The end Of this week, with ia
vorable weather, will see most Of the
small grain sown in all counties to the
central line Of the state, and blowing
we'll in hand in northern counties.
Grass is, generally, backward and
small and stock is being fed. A few
days of warm weather, however, will
place it in good condition, as the snow
and rain of the first of last week was
advantageous.
Fruit is just beginning to bud in ex-
IRENE southern counties, and has
made no progress in central and north
ern counties. 1t is generally reported
in good condition, although too early
to be positive Of later results. Gran
berries are still water covered, and, ex-
cept some injury to uncovered berries
In March, are thought to be in good
condition.

in the box for Roanoke. He pitched a
swift ball but was batted freely and the
hits were punched on him.
In the field the Roanokes made q
number of changes. McHooveter tried
first base to start with and Crockett went
to left field. These positions were soon
exchanged, however. Then Ellis went
out of the game, Morgan came up from

The entire structure was soon a raging
furnace and it seemed impossible to
save adjoining buildings and without
apparent hope of preventing the burn
ing OF Williams large frame livery

people. however, secured a hose of their
own and kept tho front and roof of the
building constantly deluged. Garden
hose WAS utilized in wetting the threat

with the fact that to day they are not
