Mckinley in New Orleans.

Mckinley received an ovation in
New Orleans last Saturday night, and
made an able speech in behalf of the
tariff to an audience of 1900 in the
Auditorium of the Pugilistic Palace.
A correspondent of the N. Y. Herald
says ''it was the most remarkable po-
litical demonstration that Louisiana
has witnessed since the early seven
ties"
This correspondent says =
Governor Mckinley, arm in arm
with General W. j. Behan, appeared
in the ring where Hall was defeated
by Fitzimmons. The cheers and ap-
plause were deafening and long con
tinued. Quiet was restored only when
the enthusiastic spectators had worn
themselves out, and then General
Behan as prelude to the event of the
night read a letter from Senator Man
derson, of Nebraska. Then Governor
Mckinley spoke"
After giving a report of the speech,
he says
"Nearly every sentence OF the
speech, which occupied two hours in
delivery. was interrupted with cheers,
and at times the audience fairly went
wild.
After the meeting Governor McKin-
ley held reception at the Hotel Royal,
and was entertained by the members
OF the National Republican Commit
tee, of Louisiana, under whose aus
pices the demonstration had been ar
ranged. AT midnight he started on
the long trip to West Virginia, in
| which State he is scheduled to speak
on Monday"
He will try to have Hon. VIM. L.
Wilson defeated. 1t would be treat
to hear discussion on the stump by
Numerically opposed on the tariff
question.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t is en-,
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out OF ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

Rev. Sam Small in Roanoke.

Referring to the speech of Rev. Sam
Small in Roanoke city on Monday night
of last week, the Roanoke Times of the
next day says -
"Vulgarity is unfortunately used in
many cases by political speakers, but
there is no excuse for minister of the
gospel, and such we believe is Rev Sam
Small, saying things from the rostrum
that bring blush of shame to ladies
in the audience. Some of Rev Small's
illusions last night had been much bet
ter unsaid.
x y = K K
Mr.. Small, in bitter terms, denounced
everything Democratic, and in allud-
ing to our speakers, he laid aside not
only the mantle of charity, but he cast
to the winds his cloak of religion.
He spared neither the aged nor the
crippled but made fun of their in6rm-
tiles. He made use of phrases that
should never have been uttered in the
presence of ladies, and it is safe to say
that he did not make a single convert
for his party.
Roanoke people have too much sense
to be Influenced by such vile vitupera-
tions. He amused his audience just as
an end man of negro minstrel troupe
would-and that was ALL"

Twelve months from now the new
tariff law will have been we'll tested,

prove so satisfactory within that COM
paratively short space of time that the

another year business will have re-
covered entirely from the depression of
the past twelve months, and prosperity
will be with us in substantial measure.
Democratic times will be the good
times of the future, and although the
party may suffer in the congressional
elections this year, it will win in a
canter in 1896, with a sound democrat
at the head of the Presidential ticket"

Reform in Norfolk.

In speaking of the reform movement
in Norfolk, the Petersburg Inder-Ap-
peal says
1.-The reform movement in Norfolk
was justified by the conditions which
existed at the time it was undertaken.
1t wac, in our opinion, one of the most
meritorious as we'll as one of the most
interesting revolts in the history of
Virginia politics. Even if the good
people of Norfolk are now crying out
against the incompetency of the reform
government, their sorrows will be more
than offset by the advantages which
will accrue to them in the future when
the genuine democracy comes to the
front again and takes charge of the
affairs of the city. As to the prohi
bitionsts of Norfolk, they lost the best
and only opportunity they will ever
have to establish themselves in the
confidence of the people. They made
the fatal mistake of dropping to the
level of the small politician. Only
public spirited men with no thirst for
the spoils of office could have measured
up to the requirements that were es-
sential to the successful conduct of the
Norfolk movement. Unfortunately
the prohibitionists were not such men,
and so Norfolk has chaos and humbug
where it should have an orderly and
intelligent administration"

Things Worth Remembering.

The Wilmington On. c. Messenger,
furnishes another list of important
things that should not be forgotten by
our speakers on the stump or by the
people at the polls on the day of cleo
ton -
Do not forget that protection as a
principle of taxation is immoral, OPP
pressive, unconstitutional, and has
been denounced by the Republican
Supreme Court of the United States as
robbery"
Do not forget that the Republicans
and their allies are asking the people
to put them in control again that they
may increase the protective principle
of the new tariff and restore the Nc
Kinley monster to life to do it's accursed
work of spoliation and oppression
under the forms of law.
Do not forget that the new Demo
cratic tariff very greatly reduces the
tax upon the people. 1t is not as low
tax as the people want and demand
| but it is a much better tax for them
| than the rascally, immoral measure il
supplants.
Do not forget that the whole plan
and intent and inspiring principle OF
protection is to rob the poor for the
benefit of the rich. 1t makes con
ditions altogether wrong and artificial
and ruinous. 1t makes monopOlists
and manufacturers partners of these
United States government. 1t de-
stroys to great extent or very greatly
disturbs and impairs the natural laws
of trade and commerce, and very great
| ly retards business while obstructine
and hampering the markets for the
great surplus crops and products of oul
very productive country
| Do not forget that the actual saving
under but one of the twelve schedules
composing the new tariff is over $140,.
| 100000. This is the wool schedule, and
! the calculation is based upon cOnsump
ton and is made by one of the best
and most notable experts In this coun
! try.
Do not forget that the reductions Oh
bar iron, steel and wrought iron spikes
wooden yarns, wooden cloth, wooden
| shawls, of certain grades, are reduced
more than rs per cent. That is what
Representative Hall, of Minnesota
gives in his speech in the House, de-
livered 18th of September last.
Do not forget that there is upon a
| long list of imported goods, including
castor oil. borax. opium, cotton cloth
cordage and wooden goods of certain
grades, including yarns, cloth, shawls
knit goods, blankets, hats, fannels
| carpets, etc, and also common velvets
and plushes, an actual reduction OF
between so and rs per cent tax-in al
| upon ia different articles and items.
Do not forget that there is long
list of important articles, including
boracic acid, alum, glycerine, chalk
linseed oil, common china and earthen
ware, common window glass, spec
tacles, looking glass, iron and steel, OF
cloths, fine fiannels, cloaks, ETC., upoI
| which the reduction is from % to 81
per cent. of tax This will do for to
day. Other lessons as to taxation viii
be given and other facts brought out

Can You Give a Reason =?

Can any Democrat in this broad
land, asks the Charlottesville Chronicle,
give good reason for voting for the
Republican candidates at the coming
election? And if he has no good reason
for voting the Republican ticket, has
he better one fer staying away from
the polls and thereby casting half
vote for it 4? 1t may be very possible
that some Democrats are not entirely
satisfied with the recent action of his
party, but do they expect to better
matters by helping to elect Republi-
cans or helping to defeat Democrats by
allowing the election to go by default
as far as their votes are concerned ?
Possibly the last Congress did not go
far enough in the direction of tariff re-
form for you. DO you hope the Re-
publicans if they regain power will go
, further? Possibly the tariff agitation
has injured your business, but surely
the way to escape further agitation is
to continue the Democrats in power,
who will certainly not upset their own
bill. On the other hand the Republi-
cans will be as certain to restore the
Mckinley tariff, or something worse if
they are given the opportunity. All
intelligent men who desire industrial
rest should vote and work for Demo
cratic success.
However much Democrat may be
dissatisfied with his own party, it is
inconceivable that he should wish to
replace it with the Republican party.

NEGRO COMMITS RAPE IN OHIO
Wherever rape shall be committed,
lynching will prevail, whether in the
North, South, East or West. Last
week. William Jasper, alias Dolby,
colored, was sentenced to twenty years
in the Ohio penitentiary for assault
upon Mrs. Mary g. Boyd, at Washing
ton Court House, Ohio. A crowd bent
on lynching the prisoner attacked the
the courthouse, which was guarded by
State militia. The soldiers fired on
the crowd, killing three persons and
wounding ten others. This, be it re-
membered, was not in the South, but
in Ohio, and the culprit was not only
in the hands of the authorities, but
had been tried and sentenced. He
confessed his guilt. He was taken to
the penitentiary at Columbus early
Wednesday morning, and, we suppose,
no one before was so glad to get into
the penitentiary as he.

Reunion at Orange Courthouse.

There was a reunion of Ex-Confede-
rate veterans at Orange Court House
last Wednesday. The Charlottesville
Chronicle says =
about 1000 persons were present
and the occasion was one Of great en-
thusiasm. The program was an inter
esting one, consisting of music, furn-
ished by the Stonewall Brigade band,
and speeches by several of the dis
tinguished guests. Mr.. Martin String
fellow was the first speaker and he de-
livered highly interesting and enter
tanning sketch of the Thirteenth Vir-
ginia regiment, which furnished three
Confederate Generals and was con-
spicuous for its gallantry during the
entire war.
He was followed by DIR. J. William
Jones, of the University of Virginia.
who was first a private in the regiment
mentioned above and afterwards chap
lain of the regiment. His address was
in his usual spicy vein and called forth
vociferous applause from the audi
ence.
The last speaker was General James
g. Field, 1.-THE fighting quartermaster.'
The Generals speech was patriotic
utterance and was enthusiastically re-
ceived by the large concourse.
The barbecue dinner was not the
smallest attraction of the day. 1t
was well served and the eatables were
abundantly sufficient to satisfy the de-
mands of the enormous crowd present.
Altogether the occasion was a great
success and was much enjoyed by ALL
