POLITICAL NOTES.

The Waynesboro Sentinel Of last week
has a leading editorial advocating the re-
nomination of Congressman Tucker from
tlis district.
The Appomattox Times Of last week, calls
the attention Of the Democrats OF the
counties in the 10th district East of the
Blue Ridge, to the fact that they "want a
man who in every way is allied to you and
your interests. and who, in his labors in
Congress, will strive to advance the vel
fare of the counties east OF the Blue Ridge.
i on do not want one, who. when the cleo
ton is over. forgets that we are existing
and who gives all the patronage OF the gov
eminent to his constituents OF tie Valley. y
The Buchanan, Botetourt, Banner, calls
for the meeting Of the Democratic noni-
mating convention of the 10th district, in
that town. Speak ing of candidates it says
I'VE had a talk with Judge Allen, one of
the candidates from this county, a short
time ago, and although he does not care to
be too previous, he Informed US that at the
proper time, if nothing happened, he would
make his announcement public. x X < y
General Fitz Lee has declined to have his
name used as a candidate, but it is thought
that in case a clark horse'' is needed, that
he will hot be at all backward in consent
ing to come out"
A Rockbridge county correspondent of
the RichmondFTimes, says: "Captain Opie
of Augusta county, and Judge J. 0. Shep-
herd of Buena Vista, are the two latest
candidates out against Harry st. Geo.
Tucker for the congressional nomination
in the Tenth congressional district. 1t is
thought by some that Captain Opie will de-
velop considerable strength in Augusta,
and Shepherd in this county"
Representative Tucker has had Mrs.
Meigs Bland, daughter Of Judge John Allen
OF Botetourt county, appointed to I; place
in the government printing Office.
There are 22l Democrats in the House OF
Representatives. Unless 35 of them lie ab-
sent from their seats there is alwaysa quo
rum Of their own number to do business
And yet it is a common thing for these tlir-
ty-fiye, and more too, to he absent from
seats to which they were elected by the peo-
pie, to transact business fer the people, foI
which they are paid by the people.

Virginia Members of Congress
on Senator Hill.

From the Washington letter in the Balti-
more Sun.
The members of the Virginia delegation
were most outspoken in their criticism Of Sen
ator Hills effort in the Senate
GEO. D. WISE, BID DISTRICT.
The published statement that Representa-
tive Wise had congratulated the Senator from
New York upon the excellence Of his speech
occasioned this to some extent, Mr.. Wise last
night denied that he had extended any coll
CALCULATIONS to Mr.. HILL and declared that
he had no sympathy with his motives or
methods. This assertion he repeated to-day
Other members of the delegation, feeling that
their loyalty to thedemOcratic party had been
questioned to some extent through the impii-
ed Endorsement by Mr.. Wise of Senator UilP>
sentiments. were ready and anxious to define
their positions.
F. f. MEREDITH, STH DISTRICT.
Representative Meredith said: There is no
democrat in the party who is large enough to
sit upon the main limb of the tree and then
saw that limb off under him without going
down with it. That is what Senator Hill has
attempted to do. He is attacking the princi
pal issue of the last campaign, regarding
Which the people of the country declared
themselves in unmista bahle terms. | think
the speech shows that Senator Hill has relin-
pushed all claims to the nomination for the
presidency, and is DESTROYS only to maintain
his Influence in New York.

A STRANGE PROCESSION.

There is to-day at Hagerstown, Md. g
strange procession. 1t is called the Army
of the Commonweal,' headed 10y "Gen. y
Coxey; it left Massillon, Ohio, Oh Sunday,
March 18th, at noon, and is travelling OF
foot to Washington city. Its mission is
to hold meeting on the steps of the Ma
tional capitol and bring enough pressure
priation of many millions by issuing non
interest bearing bonds, to build good roads
through the land and thereby give labor to
the unemployed. AT its head is carried a
banner bearing picture Of Jesus with the
inscription: ''Peace Oh Earth and G God will
to Men, and death to interest on bonds. >
Coxey is livery stable keeper Of Massi
Ion, who was supposed to be very rich until
this freak took possession of him and ill-
duced his alarmed creditors to look into
his affairs-an inspection which reveals
the fact that he could not possibly pay ten
cents in the dollar. He is an enthusiasts
tic POpulist and addressed meeting Of
that party before leaving Massillon. His
ssarmy'' which consists Of some three or
four hundred men is divided into groups, y
celebrations aud 'cantons,'' and other
high sounding names, and consists
of any unemployed men-or employed eth
er for tie matter Of that-who fall in
along the line of the procession. They are
provisional with what the people give them
along the route. and in some towns where
the Populists are strong, provisions have
been gathered for them i'll advance of their
arrival. They sleep in two large tents
which they carry, and IL barns and vacant
houses. There are coming by raiIr rad from
Texas and California one Oh two other
ssarmies' of about the same size. They AT
making the long journey by Selling freight
trains and forcibly riding. When the party
from Texas arrived at st. Louis, the me
were offered 81 80 a day to dig trenches fol
water-pipe laying in that city, but they re-
fused to delay their trip to Washington
for real work. A small ''army" some fif
ty in number marched from Philadelphia
and Joined the Army of the Commonwea
in Maryland. All Of these 'sarnles' have
had the careful watch and company of The
local police from one town to another, but,
Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1894-04-20

sd far, that which Started ff0lfi Massill6ii
has conducted itself peacefully except
some squabling among themselves-and has
not molested any property on its route.
The 'armies7 from Texas and California,
however, have given some trouble to both
the railroads and city authorities. The
California ''army'' necessitatel the calling
out Of the military at Oakland to make it
''move on.' From the voluminous &C
counts published in the cities Oh their route
they seem to be the unemployed, ?" but are
also of the same class who are unemployed
when times are good and work plenty, and
| who prefer the road and idleness to tile
shop and work, at all times. AS there issa
law in the District of Columbia severely
Furnishing those who bring men into it
without visible means of support, and as
the ordinances Of Washington prohibit
gatherings at the capitol, there would seem
to be trouble ahead for the ''Army of the
Commonweal" when it reaches that city.
But whatever may he the good or i'll for
tune OF the queer expedition when it reach
cS w dSH lIlStOn, one cdn1Ob nolp seeking Sc
riously for it's origin. The country is not
wholly blameless for this procession. When
political organizations, such as the Popu-
list, hold and teach that when man can
find no other market for his products the
National Government must buy them of
him; and when such political organizations
as the Republican, hold and teach that in
order to give men work the National Gov
eminent has the right to tax other men;
and when such demagogues as some Demo
Gratis, hold and teach that the government
can create floods of money by simply stamp
ing its name On a piece of paper OF silver
with no provision for its redemption, it is
not surprising that we see an Army of the
Commonweal'' marching to Washington
with the demand that the National Gov
eminent provide them work by building
roads, and provide millions for wages by
simply issuing pieces of paper. Teach peo-
pie that they have a right to depend on the
National Government for support, and they
will soon put your lessons to the test.

Plenty Of Farm Work.

From the Louisa county, Va, News
There are certainly too many people idle
now There arc many idle in Louisa county,
but they are idle purely from inclination
Work at fair prices is plentiful. Yearly ana
monthly hands are hard to get Day labor
the order now. Laborers work about half
the time and live easily for a year-io Cheap
are the necessaries of life. Flour, meal and
meat are dirt cheap. Cheap provisions have
ruined labor, and employers are fast learn.
ing not to depend upon hrei help. This is
wise, and will ultimately work great good.
Labor, in other words, is on strike, and
seems not to care for the welfare of farmers
and others who employ.

Life made miserable by Headaches,

Lida McCandless, No 1890 South Thirty

with a reporter. said II had a very bad
case of catarrh of the nose, throat and
stomach with frequent headaches, pain
under the shoulder blades and horrible
cough. had to keep my mouth constant
ly open day and night to breathe, and felt
as miserable IS one possibly could. was
advised to try Munyon's Catarrh Cure. l
am happy to say that from the beginning
felt relieved and continued to grow better
until now l am entirely well. am thank
full that this remarkable remedy was ever
discovered, and hope others will take ad-
vantage of my experience"
Have you Catarrh? Are you willing to
investigate treatment that cures Cartarrh
by removing the cause? If so ask your
druggist for a 25c bottle of Munyon's Ca
tarrh Cure and 25c bottle of Catarrh tab
lets. The Catarrh Cure will eradicate the
disease from the system, and tablets will
cleanse and heal the afflicted parts and re-
store them to healthful and natural con-
ditiOn.

Senator Hill while discussing the
German tariff last June predicted that
1t would throw New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut permanently into the
Republican column. That was a start
ling prophecy for Democratic ears, but
evidence Is accumulating rapidly to in.
dicate that it was we'll founded. The
astonishing gains made by the Repub-
licans in the Connecticut town elections
last week point unerringly to politi-
cal revolution in that State. The heav.
lest majorities scored in local elections
since the war are an earnest of Re.
publican victory in November unprece
dented in many years. Il is the same
tremendous ground.swell which has
rolled over Vermont and Maine.
Smyrna times., 1894-10-10

The Philadelphia Record says that
General Daniel H. Hastings, the Re-
publican candidate for Governor of
Pennsylvania, possesses a memory for
faces and names that is nothing less
than marvellous. As Adjutant-G General
of the State. in his many campaign
tours, and in his businesss relations. he
has been brought into contact with
sgreat numbers of persons. and to a
21knd he recently remarked that be
Il we'd he could call 10000 people by
na'ae. To most people 600 names
would be a burden on the memory, but
the General carries his 10000 with an
ease that as.onishes his friends.

Abraham Lincoln once said that he
did not know much about the tariff
problem, but he knew this: When the
United States bought goods of England
the Englishmen had the money and
we had the goods, but when we bought
goods at home we had the goods and
the money, too. That is he question
OF protection ia nutshell.
