THURSDAY EVENING, AUG. >. 1894.

AT meeting of the democrats OF the
Natural Bridge district OF Rockbridge
county. General Fitz. Lee offered a
resolution, which was adopted, pledg-
ing "frm allegiance and support to the
distinguished democratic President ID
his effort to maintain the pledges made
10 the democratic party" The pledges
contained in the Chicago platform were
in favor of freer raw material, and
AGAINST favors to trusts. And yet a
nigh tariff on sugar, which would be a
great favor to the Northern sugar trust,
Mr. Cleveland says he could stand, but
that a reductioniin the tariff on Virgin
IN coal from IS to 40 cents ton
IS not enough to suit his fancy. de
would have free, not freer coal, though
that would favor Canadian coal trust.
TEP NEGROES in New York have or
panized an association TO prevent the
iynching of negroes in the South. As
negroes are lynched in the West and
North for the same crime that they are
in the South, why the operation OF the
association should be confined to the
latter section, is by no means as appar-
ent as it might be. But, leaving that
point out of view, nothing would con-
duce more to the achievement OF the
associations object than successful ef-
forts to prevent the commission OF the
crime for which negroes are lynched'
When negro men shall cease outraging,
or attempting to outrage, white women
negro lynching will cease in the South
but not before.
