SATURDAY EVENING. APRIL C, 1896

AS SOME newspaper editors labor I'M
der the delusion that their lucuora-
tons are relished better than news oy
their readers. they naturally seize Win
avidity upon any thing that affords
them a theme upon which to write.
This is the reason why so many OF
them are now discussing the question
of giving the next democratic Presi-
dental nomination to Southern man,
though they might just as well, for all
practical purposes, discuss the question
of the nomination of the man in the
moon. In the first place, Mr.. Cleve-
land has so disorganized, democrat
lied and disheartened the democratic
party that it is hardly possible the very
best democrat in the country could be
elected, and in the second, sectional
animosity is so rank in the North,
where most of the voters live, that
even the few democrats there who,
were it otherwise, might be disposed to
vote for a man from the South, would
be morally, if not even physically,
afraid to do so, The South lost her
chance for Presidents at Appomattox,
which field some Southern people
would now adorn and beautify for
Northern visitors.

Oscar Wilde Arraigned.

LONDON, Apr. Oscar Wilde's
friend, Alfred Taylor, was arrested ibis
morning and taken to the Bow street
police station. Wilde was arraigned
before magistrate this morning and
charged with melting young men to COM
NIT foul crime and also with having
actually committed the crime. Taylor
was also charged with being accessory
to Wilde's crimes. AS Taylor stepped
into the dock Wilde smilingly recog-
nized him. Charles Parker, 10 years
of age, was the first witness examined.
He gave the particulars of his iDtroduc.
ton to Wilde by Taylor, and stated
that the latter said Wilde was good
for money!" Parker testified that he
had on several occasions dined with
Wilde at various restaurants and detail
ed the conversation between them. He
also told of frequently meeting Wilde
at his room. Parker described the
conduct of himself and Wilde at these
meetings and swore that he had re-
ceived money and other presents upon
almost every occasion. The story told
by Parker, if true, proves the case
against Wilde.
Alfred Wood, the man whose pas
sage to America was paid by Wilde,
testified that he met Wilde at the Cafe
Royal, in January, 1898. He went to
Wilde's house, where he remained with
Wilde in bedroom three hours. He
said he was drunk at the time of this
visit. He also stated that Wilde had
often given him money and had visited
him at his lodgings, but strenuously
denied that any wrong doings had &C.
Cured during these visits.
Wilde and Taylor were remanded in
custody. A request was made that
the prisoners be admitted to bail, but
Was refused.

OSCAR WILDE IN JAIL.

As stated in the GAZETTE of thai
day the libel suit of Oscar Wilde
against the Marquis of Queensberry
was brought to a sensational end in
London yesterday by the plaintiff with.
drawing his case. A few hours later
he was arrested upon criminal charge
and was obliged to spend the night in
the Bow street police station.
Wilde was arrested at the Cadogan
Hotel and taken in q cab by two de.
tectives to Scotland Yard. Wilde wore
an ulster and silk hat. He was very
pale, but cool, when he arrived at
Scotland Yard. Few persons witness.
ed his arrival there, and those who did
80 maintained silence. The prisoner
remained silent throughout the pro
ceedings. He was then taken to Bow
street. He was not arraigned in the
Police Court. as was at first stated, but
was placed in the dock in the police
station. Here he stood with his hands
in his pockets while the charge against
him was being taken. A police inspector
then read the charge aloud, and asked
Wilde if be had anything to say, add
ing the usual warning that anything he
said might be used against him. The
prisoner remained apparently indiffer-
emit, and made no reply. He was then
searched, after which he was locked
in cell. Shortly after he had been
locked up one of his friends arrived in
a carriage at the station with small
Gladstone bag containing change OF
clothing and other necessaries, but
the police refused to permit him to
leave it. Later Lord Alfred Douglas
went to the police station and inquired
whether Wilde could be admitted to
bail. The police Inspector explained
that Wilde had been arrested for q
criminal offense, which did not allow
of bail being accepted until he had been
arraigned in court.
Lord Alfred was greatly distressed
By this information. He was told by
the inspector that Wilde had blanket
and other requisites in his cell to be as
comfortable as the police regulations
allowed.
The prisoner will be allowed to re-
ceive food from a hotel until to. day,
when he will be arraigned in court
on charge involving penal oaense.
The name of Oscar Wilde has been
withdrawn from the playbilIs and ad-
vertisements of the two theaters-the
St. James and the Haymarket-where
two of his plays are running.
Wilde when arrested had been drink
ing heavily and very nearly fell upon
the pavement when he arrived at Scot
land Yard,

MEETING IN THE COUNTY
fReported for the Gazette. |

A largely attended meeting of voters
of the county was held at Nauck color
ed school house yesterday evening.
w, A. Rowe was elected chairman and
Andrew Lewis secretary. The chair
man stated that the object of the meet.
ing was to hear an expression of views
from the various candidates for county
offices, and that such of them as were
present would have an opportunity Of
delivering addresses, and asked that
the audience should accord to each OF
the speakers a respectful hearing.
Speeches were made by Messrs. Wibirt
and Torrison, candidates for treasurer;
w. w. Douglass and r. w. Johnston,
candidates Tor commonwealth attor-
ney; Henry Holmes, commissioner Of
revenue; A. G. Hayes, Fred Corbett
and Willard Birch, candidates for su.
pervisor for Arlington district. The
two most interesting speeches of the
evening were those OF Messrs. Douglass
aud Johnston, the former making quite
a lengthy address in which he attacked
the official record of his opponent in a
lively manner, and concluded by say
ing that if the voters should see
fit to elect him (Douglass) he would
promise that affairs would he vastly
different after he had occupied the po-
sition for three years and nine months,
to what they were at present. Mr..
Johnston, upon replying, said he had
no apologies to make for his official
conduct and contended that lawless-
ness did not exist to any greater ex-
tent in the county than it did in any
other part of the country adjacent to a
large city, aud that if he was sure that
Mr.. Douglass could accomplish what
he promised to do, he would resign
now and give him chance. He said
the county was republican by over 200
majority, yet the democrats held two
of the best paying offices in the county
and the entire board of supervisors,
and yet they are not satisfied. Do
they want the whole earth, and that
fenced in?
Mr.. Johnston asked the support of
the republican voters, and said he
would prosecute all violators of the
law, when the evidence was sufficient,
but was no spy, detective or sleuth
hound himself. funston, colored as
pirant for sheriff, in his opening re-
marks made statement which may be
news to some people; viz, that Henry
Clay was one of the signers of the De-
claration of Independence. He said
that if the eolored man had right to
deposit a vote In the ballot box, he
should be allowed to sit in the jury
box.
The chairman announced another
meeting to be held at the same place
Thursday evening next.

Congressman Tyler of Virginia waa
at the Postofiice Department to-day
and applied for the establishment of q
postoffice at Greenspring, eight miles

thanked God there was neither free
school nor a newspaper in the Colony,
and where Col. Nathaniel Bacon, of
"Bacon's Rebellion" had his head
quarters. Mr.. Tyler also hoped to
have the republican Presidential post
masters at Franklin and Berkeley sup
planted by democrats, but met with
little encouragement.

THE FACT that the commissioners ap-
pointed to inspect the line of the pro-
posed Nicaragua Canal will be guests
of the canal company, will, naturally,
be likely to make them take roseate
view of the canals prospects, and so
portray it in their report. The govern
ment OF this country has no more to do
with canal in Nicaragua than with
one in the moon, but as it has appointed
commission to inspect the route OF
one there, it should certainly have
provided for the entertainment of the
members thereof, and not have put
them under obligations for entertain
ment to the parties who will be the bene
fciaries of the canal, if it shall ever be
constructed.
