The situation in the tenth district is
complicated. The one representative
who succeeded in attaching his name
to platform democratic measure is
Mr.. Tucker, of that district. 1t is
further and unique distinction for him
that he seems to be the only member
who tried to do SO. The tariff bill,
known as the Wilson bill. was not
drawn on the lines of the platform, nor
was there one clear cut demand for
the repeal of the federal tax on the
circulation of state banks. Even if de-
feated in the contest for re election,
Mr. Thicker will have achieved fame as
the one platform democrat in a con-

DEATH OF MIR. BEDELL BERKELEY.
Mr.. Bedell Berkeley, the only brother of
Mr.. William M. Berkeley of this city, died
Monday morning last, July 10Th, at Bayview
Asylum near Baltimore, in the Goth year of
his age. The circumstances preceding his
death are very strange as given in the Balti-
more Sun of July 18th as follows -
''Mr. Bedell Berkeley was taken to the
Maryland General Hospital yesterday suffer-
ing. from what was thought to be a case of
hydrophobia. Berkeley was bitten by dog
Monday, the wound being slight one on the
left hand. About midnight Monday he woke
up every one at his boarding place, 9os Penn
sylvania avenue, by barking and bowling
like dog and by smashing the furniture in
his room. He also cut his right hand by
showing it through a windowpane. Round
Sergeant Glynn was called in, and had him
sent to the hospital. The doctors there say
that he is not suffering from hydrophobia,
but is man of highly nervous temperament
and easily excited. His condition is not seri-

Basic CITY PostoffIce Robbed.

About o'clock last Friday morning, the
money safe of the Postoffice in Basic City
was broken open with tools obtained from a
blacksmith shop nearby and robbed of about
S240 worth of stamps and several dollars in
money. Fortunately, Postmaster Voolfolk
had previously taken to his house 5000 in
stamps and 800 in money
About a week ago, similar robbery of this
Postofice at Leesburg, Loudoun county, was
perpetrated, and we may expect to hear of
more such cases in a short time unless the
robbers be detected and arrested

Mr.. Henry George, in his incendiary
speech at New York last Thursday
night, made one sensible remark,
which, for their own sake, it is hoped
his large audience took to heart. 1t
was, that trade unionism, with it's
weapon, the strike, is and always has
been a failure" Nothing was ever
demonstrated more plainly than the
fact that the chief sufferers from strikes
are the strikers. Gazette.

Owing to the unyielding policy O
the Senate conferees, tariff reformers
in the House of Representatives expect
nothing better from the conference
committee than a compromise bill.
Two United States deputy marshals
were killed and two were injured in a
collision between freight trains at
Chicago Thursday. One of the men
injured was Augustine Wright, OF
Baltimore.
A largely attended meeting of sympa-

troops. Other speakers did likewise.
The strike on the Southern Pacific
Railroad at Sacramento, Cal, resulted
Friday in the killing of two men and
the wounding of several others by

The American Federation of Labor,
at the conference in Chicago, Friday,
decided against general strike, but
Endorsed the action of the American
Railway Union, and voted $1,000 for
the defense of President Debs at his
coming trial under the Indictment for
alleged conspiracy.
Judge Grosscup instructed the
special United States grand jury at
Chicago to investigate the course of
the railroads in the recent strike.
The Baltimore Sun of last Saturday
says that General Schofeld is disposed
to give the credit for the termination
of the strike to the timely action of
President Cleveland in appointing a
commission of investigation. Members
of the executive board of the knights
of Labor who are in Washington ex-
pressed satisfaction with the course of
procedure the President has adopted.
Members of all political parties in the
House of Representatives commend
the action of the President. 1t is be-
lieved in Washington that the collapse
of the strike is due to the forfeiture of
public sympathy through the violation
of law.

The Dispatch thinks that after the
recent manifestation of patriotism in
the south, northelners-even some of
the bomb proof editors of republican
newspapers-sho stop calling Con.
federate soldiers ''ex-rebels.n We are
satisfied, however, that no ex-Confed-
crate is suffering in mind or BODY on
account of the appellation. 1t is sim
ply matter of taste with those per-
sons in the north who think the term
carries with it an opprobium that is
not felt in the south. The late Vir-
ginius Dabney, the author of Don
Mill" and tor years prominent writer
on the New York press, very aptlv
characterized the use of the word
when he wrote that only underbred
persons now speak of Confederate as
rebels" OF course underbred peopIe
don't know any better. But nobodv
cares for their opinions. ST., if i
pleases them to use the term. let them
get all the pleasure out of it that thew
can. Certainly we should not be sur-
prlsed or wounded because underbred
persons will be underlined all the time.
