HE Sells VICTORY.
Chairman Wilson after A White
house Conference is con-
fident.
"a DECIDED CHANGE NOTED
Senators Weakening in the Their Def
ant Attitude to the House.

WASHINGTON, July 3l-The true
inwaTdness of the tariff situation IS
it exists to night is more difficult to
diagnose than at any previous stage.
Most of the general congressional
practitioners frankly give it up, while
the tariff specialists cautiously dis
cuss the symptoms but look wise
and say nothing when they reach
the point where they ought to
render an opinion All of which
goes to show judging from past ex-
perience with desperate COMPRESSION
al situations, that something import
ant is going to happen. And as the
rule generally holds good in congress
as In Wall street, that it is the unex-
pected that happens, tariff surprise
may be looked for to morrow or next
day.
1t may as well be frankly owned
up that to the majority of people
here the most unexpected thing that
could happen would be the yielding
of the senate to the demands of the
house. The impression is very
strong that the conservatives have
become desperate and reckless in
their anger at the sudden blocking
of the game they had so ingeniously
and laboriously put up, and have
fully and finally decided ON a policy
of rule or ruin as regards tariff leg
islation.
This impression is fostered in a
dozen different ways by the conserv-
atives and their sympathizers in the
senate and house. These outgivings
all point to one conclusion, that the
tariff bill is dead, because there
seems no hope that the house confer
ees will accept the senate bill just
as it stands, line for line and letter
for letter, and unless they do the
bill can never get to the president,
for the reason that the 43 senate
Democrats cannot be held together
for another vote on it.
Taking their utterances at face
value, the conservatives and their
sympathizers have calmly resigned
themselves to the prospect of the fail
ure of all tariff legislation at this
session, and are turning over in their
minds the names of men who would
make good receivers for the partic-
ular branches of the Democratic par
ty which said sympathizers have in
charge and have been operating.
LIKELIHOOD OF A CHANGE.
With talk of this kind to be heard
wherever a senatorial combine SYM
pathizer is encountered, it is not sur
prising that the popular belief here
is that the senate will never yield a
hairs breadth to the house. But as
before pointed out, the unexpected
happens in congress as frequently
as before, and the country may be
surprised in the next As hours by
the announcement that the senate
has yielded enough to the house to
permit that body to honorably ac-
cept It's offer, that the deadlock is
broken and the tariff bill finally ont
of the hands of congress.
There was a long conference at the
white house tonight between the
president. Secretary Carlisle and
Chairman Wilson on the tariff situa.
ton. When Mr.. Wilson left the
white house he said to Democratic
member of congress, who met him
and asked him what the outlook
was, ave will win"

Senator Cameron for president, it
is the opinion of Major Moses p.
Handy communicated TO the Chica-
go ''Inter Ocean" is..one of the prob
abilities. The major, who is in close
touch with the Republican machine
of this state, writes to the Chicago
paper that don Cameron is fairly
in the field as a candidate for the
Republican presidential nomination,
and his name will be presented by
the Pennsylvania delegation" just
as it will be recollected, his father s
name was presented to the conven-
tion of 1860 that nominated Mr..
Lincoln and made the basis of bar
gain for cabinet place. Major
Handy continues that Senator Cam
eron is overwhelmed with assurances
of support from the west and south,
in the west because of his support of
silver, and in the south because of
his opposition to the force bill"
There is not much doubt that this
presidential game has been the in
spiration of the peculiar position the
Republican state conventions and
our senators have taken on silver,
fiat money and protection, sort of
three card monte game.-Post.

A Grave Outlook for All Agrf.
cHIfmrfste. what Should
Farmers and PLAN

The agricultural situation has
rapidly assumed very grave aspect.
With the unheard Of fall in the price
of wheat since Friday last, together
with the official report of a largely
increased wheat acreage in Argen-
tina-now fast becoming our rival
in foreign wheat-m arkets-the farm
ers of the West and Northwest must
be at their wits end to know how
they can make both ends meet
next year Almost uTeiy grain crop
will bring low prices, and Southern
cotton is not likely to fare better.
A magnificent season in Great Brit
ain and good crops in Europe will
reduce the foreign demand for Amer
lean farm products till 1896.
The Secretary of Agriculture re
Gently said in the Forum:
Selling in competition with all the
world the most serious drawback to
the American farmer is his comp1l-
sorry buying in the "home market. "
whence all competition of the out
side world is excluded 1t
is great wrong upon agriculture to
force il to sell in the free trade mar
kets of the earth, and then restrict,
coeree and bulldoze it into buying
the things which it is somewhere
compelled to purchase in the United
States, whence by the high protee-
tive tariff all competition is absolute
~ shut out Under commercial free
dom the purchasing power of the
farms yearly produce would buy
more at low price than it can now
even at high price in restricted
market which is walled in and guar
anteed competitionless to the pro-
tectees.
1t has been shown by official sta
tistics that the Mckinley tariff for
ces up the prices of all articles far
mers have to buy to nearly double
their value, and the aggregate sum
it thus takes every year from the
people as bounty to home manufac-
turers and trusts is not less than
100000 10000 II this tariff is not
repealed distress, bankruptcy and
ruin must be more widespread next
year than now, especially among
agriculturists. Should the German
tariff bill pass some relief will be
felt, but the relief will be slow and
scanty.
American agriculture is groaning
under mountain of tariff taxation
and yet every republican Senator
and Congressman opposes the Will
SOL bill, which would, if passed, take
off 81 ,000,000,000-a whole billion
of dollars-of taxation from agricul
euiS q faSo ouIi, ucJ Out CSuL vi
which goes into the Treasury, but
all of which is extorted from farmers
and planters to swell the fortunes of
the protected trusts. The negroes
under the old Southern slave holder
were less crushed beneath the iron
heel of despotism than our farmers
now are under this brutal "protec-
ton" Only trade can save
American agriculture from pitiable
decadence and disaster. All far
mers and planters should at next
November's elections and now make
a hot and heavy fight against every
candidate for the Legislature or
Congress who has not proved him
self fearless and honest advocate
of real tariff-reform and commercial
freedom. Let them by letter and
telegram hasten to demand of their
Senators at Washington to pass the
Wilson bill instead of the miserable
German protection" subterfuge.-

Here's A Residenter From Away Back

The Charleston Evening Mail
says: Many believe and a few
know that Hon. Warren Miller was
elected Srpreme Judge in 1892, and
was deprived of the certificate anc
office by that peculiar jugglery Of
figures for which West Virgins
Democracy is famous"
After reading the above swhoppers
who would not agree with the ga
zette when it says:
'As to whether many believe that
the Honorable Warren was candi-
date for Supreme Judge over two
hundred years ago, we can't say, but
we are absolutely certain that few
know it and we do not think MANY
believe it. We remember perfectly
well the attempt Warren Miller
made two years ago to take an office
to which the people of West Virgins
had not elected him, but if he was q
candidate two centuries ago, history
does not record the fact"

honored in distinguished way by
their party, are prophecying the de
feat of William L. Wilson this fall
The prophecy is the offspring of hope
with them, and their protesting ut
terances are their real desires. Will
liam L. Wilson can afford to be de-
feated. Any man can afford to be

The Tariff BiII

There is some unnecessary per
turbation in Democratic minds over
the possible defeat, or postponement
until December, of the Wilson tariff
bill. Such an event is rather improb
able. The procedure which is now
being enacted at Washington is
strictly in line with that which has
obtained in congress for years.
An ideal tariff bill cannot be ex-
pected The only genuine matter
for indignation is the endeavor of a
few senators, whose environment is
not of the popular kind, to dictate
concessions. Whether they succeed
is yet uncertain. But there is one
salient point: Conceding that a
party in power is responsible for
legislation does not excuse the oppo-
sition party when it votes against
its own openly expressed accusa-
tions, and assumed views, and
against the common welfare merely
to achieve party advantage.
The Republican who votes with
the conservative" senators when
his own breath charging them with
corrupt motives has scarcely sub
sided is himself corrupt. Political
jugglery may be admirable in CON
vention, or some empty parlamenta-
ny controversy, but when Republi-
can senator votes against his own
convictions merely to put "the other
side in hole" no system of morals
saves him from the same crime
against the people as that which he
ascribes to his temporary allies.
There is no reason to doubt a near
passage of the tariff bill. Public
sentiment is now growing unanimous
against delay. Even millionaire
senators cannot defy it, nor the
creatures fsyndicates or rings go
counter to it. There is one mourn
full commentary found in the pres
ent senate division in the Democrat
ic party. The few men who are op-
posing popular wish, never obtained
their seats by popular wish, and that
unerring archer, the ballot, will
transfix them later.-Post

SOCIAL FEATURES.

The accompanying occasions oil
social enjoyment which comes with
the camp are not lacking here, and
the officers are invited out for every
night until camp breaks. Last night
the Misses Faulkner, daughters OF

and supper, to which a number of
our wellknown society people were
invited. This evening the officers
of the First returned the hospitality
of the Second of yesterday, and gave
supper at which they were the
guests Of honor. Gen. and Mrs.
Spillman, the brigade staff and few
guests from the town were also pres
ent. Judge Boyd Faulkner, Capt.

MARTISsBURG w. Va, July 20
Sunday is always a welcome day at
the annual eneampmept of the State
troops, because there are fewer drills
and parades on that day than any
other and the soldiers have more
privileges.
To-day was not an exception, and
blue coats could be counted on the
streets by the hundreds this after
noon.
Very few attended worship this
morning. Rev. A. NJ Buchanan,
chaplain of the First regiment, was
on hand to hold religious exercises,
but there were no shade trees within
half a mile, and the erection of a
tent for this purpose had been neg
leeted, SO the soldiers were disap-
pointed. Mr.. Buchanan preached a
sermon in the Lutheran Church.
More people visited the camp to-
day than have yet witnessed the ex-
ercises. Ever since an early hour
this morning a continuous stream
has poured upon the camp.
The tents presented an appearance
of cleanliness this morning and
every man had BACKED his shoes
and INDUCED in
THE LUXURY OF CLEAN SHIRT.
This state of affairs was influenced
by the knowledge that General Spil
man, accompanied by his staff, would
inspect the quarters which they did
at IL o'clock. The quarters were
very satisfactory to the General.
There was also regimental inspection
this morning by the commander of
the regiments accompanied by their
stats. Colonel Fast and Colonel
Hodges were both encouraged by the
showing their regiments made.
This ceremony and dress parade
this evening were the only exercises
the troops took part in, and they
were overjoyed to escape the work
which 100 degrees of heat makes very
tiresome.
