COULDN'T BE A DUDE ON $SOO.-The
Rev. Joseph Speers, who servered
his connection with the little Presby.
terian Church of this place, thinks that
his negligence in the matter of personal
attire caused the trouble which led to
his resignation, says Brentwood iL.I.)
telegram. Dominic Speers is young
man, who, when out of the pulpit, is
very democratic. His Sunday necktie
was replaced on weeks day by red
bandana handkerchief. He laid aside
his long-tailed broadcloth and shiny
silk hat for blue overalls and black
SLOUGH headgear. Mrs. Otis Smith,
member of Dominic Speers's
flock, wrote letter to him
taking him severely to task for wearing
his hat on the back of his head and for
his negligence in blackening his shoes.
The pastor retaliated by telling his peo-
pie that he could not dress like dude
on $500 year. He wound up by stat
ing that he didn't propose to work in
the garden and go oyer to Shutdown
digging claims in his pulpit toggery.
The letter made Mrs. Smith angry
and she left the church. The outcome
of the matter was that the pastoral re.
lations of Mr.. Speers were dissolved by
the Presbytery and Mrs. Smith was re-
stored to full membership in the church

For MANY years, as regularly as the
time for the meeting of Congress ap-
proaches, some of the newspapers of
Washington revamp and reiterate
their same old tales of woe about the
alleged dangers to which that city are
subjected by the existence of the Long
Bridge. That bridge has spanned the
Potomac for nearly century, and
there is no apparent reason why it
should not do so for another one, as
the alleged dangers exist only in
the Imagination of the newspapers re-
ferred to.

er was hurried into the carriage and
driven rapidly to town, and put in Jail,
where large crowd Immediately col
lected. For fear of mob violence, he

He talks as though he favors Mckinley

The latest effort of Theodore Lambert, the

while successful, attempts to avoid the YER

MONDAY EVENING, NOV. 10. 1895.

THE Richmond Times continues to
stimulate the republicans in Congress
in their proposed attempt to deprive
all thu democratic congressman
elected in this State last fall,
of their seats, upon the ground
that the law under which they were
elected, the Walton law, was intended
to prevent the negro men in the State
from "voting as they wish," and that
that law does not secure to the voters q
free vote and fair count. White and
black men in Virginia have now
voted twice under that law, and the
first one of either race has yet to swear
that by means of it, either his own or
any other mans ballot was not received
and counted. The law utterly de-
stroys the use of money at elections,
prevents the annoyance of voters ut
the polls. which formerly deferred
many from going to such places; has
deprived the heelers of their occupa-
tion, secures the secrecy of the ballot
and is perfectly impartial. That a
newspaper printed in the capital of the
State should persist in its efforts to de-
cry the laws of Virginia, and to incite
the States Northern haters to further
assaults upon her, is, however, only
another one of the many things that
make conspicuous the great difference
between the present newspapers OF
Richmond and those of former times.
