pox would prove disastrous to our
business interests and just at this
time it will be the part of wisdom to
remember that "an ounce of preven-
ton is worth pound of cure"
There is not case of the disease,
as far as is known, within many
miles Of the city and it is not at all
likely that it will reach Us if we can
keep away people who have been 10
the infected district. in Patrick coun-
ty, Virginia Hence, the necessity
for very strict quarantine regula-
tions.
We are told that the quarantine
established by the authorities of
Martinsville affords ample protection
to Winston II this be SO, there may
be no necessity for a quarantine here,
but it behOoves our authorities to
satisfy themselves that this is an
absolute fact. Ii they should find
any appI oach unprotected prompt
action should be taken. 1t will not
do to depend entirely upon another
community to give us needed protec-
ton.
AS was seen from the report of DR..
John Bynum, health officer, published
n Fridays SENTINEL, a general
vaccination has been recommended
and urged as the best protection
against smallpox. We think it OF
equal or greater Importance that
every possible precaution be taken
to prevent the introduction of the
disease by persons who have been in
the infected district.

AN APPLICATION

We believe it is a priuciple in law
that the fellow who receives stolen
goods, knowing them to have been
stolen, is guilty of THEFT. Does the
same principle apply TO falsehood -?
That is to say, if fellow appropri
ates an untruth, knowing it to be
such, and attempts to palm it off on
the public as truth, is he guilty of
lying? Ifso, we think the applica-
ton may be very justly made to an
item in last week. Union Republican
That paper refers to a recent visit of
Speaker q. V Walzer to this city and
says:
Speaking of the work of the late
General Assembly he said, no Legis
iature OF which he has had any
knowledge, and he has been connect
ed with all OF them in business way
aud as a member for ten years or
more, was ever more pains taking
in investigation and careful in the
framing of laws, nor has there been
one in which fewer errors actually
did occur in the enrolment, etc., of
bills The fact is the Fusion Legis
lature made no big blunders and all
the faultfinding by the Democratic
ring papers has had to be manu-
faetured by 1.-The machine" and is
made to order, for campaign pur-
poses solely
"The Fusion Legislature made no
big blundersl' 1t is astonishing
how any man, acquainted with the
facts, can make a statement SO
utterly devoid of truth. 1t strikes
US that to argue that the botch
work OF the Fusion Legislature-the
Douglass resolution, the fraudulent
assignment act, etc.-is not a ebig
blunder, +" is to argue that it is the
result of downright rascality.

AS TO SILVER.

MOnometaliSts are often ready to
assert that bimet allists are cranks,
but if they will look up the men who
have favored bimetallism they will
see the more conspicuous array OF
eminent people on the side of gold
and silver coinage.
Assertion is frequently used as a
substitute for argument, but asser-
ton cannot be rightfully used except
on questions that have been settled.
Nor will abuse do as a means Of
dealing with a question of such vast
i'm pC rtance. Denunciation alone is
not argument.
The silver question is before the
American people as a jury. They
are to pass upon it at the polls next
year. The issue cannot be lodged
The people want declarations well
defiped and clear cut. They do not
want insincere, nor straddling plat
form utterances.
The matter Is beng widely ulS-
cussed and the statement SO fre-
quently made that "the silver craze
is dying out" will not stop the dis
cussion. Few other questions have
ever had so much said about them
for so long a time prior to the Presi-
Dental election.
Main principles are what the peo
pie should look to. Attempts are
made, and will continue to be made,
to draw their minds into q haze of
incoDaequential statements and II
maz4 of statistics. We have faith
that the people will vote to give
silver a fair show as a coinage metal.

vogue
For morning wear an exceptional
ly stylish froek may be made of navy
Diue dotted SWISS. 1t may have q
plain full skirt with three wee rDffies
at the foot OF the hem, a baby waist
and full sleeves. A broad belt Of
scarlet ribbon should be worn aud q
stock Of the gay colored ribbon to
match.
A charming little dancing gown
may be made of faint yellow dotted
Swiss, trimmed with yellow ribbons
scattered with violets. The neck of
the baby bodies should be cut low
: and square and edged with a loose
twist of the ribbon, which is tied in
81 pert little bow at each side of the
cOrsage. A broad sash of the ribbon
encircles the waist and ties in O. large
bow at the back, the long ends float
ing over the skirt. The ingenious
summer girl may vary this costume
for different dances merely by chang
ing the sleeves. For an informal
card party the gown might be worn
with IA short balloon like puff of the
Swiss. finished with twisted coil of

puff should end above the elbow and

with no dotted Swiss sleeves at all,
merely a butterfly bow of the Dres-

caught at the shoulder. To change
the gown L third time, have violet
chiffon sleeves made of a rippling
mass of tiny frills reaching Just below
the elbow. The gown may be furth-
er changed by supplementing white
ribbon for the yellow.
The lowered dotted Swiss is much
used this year and makes fetching
summer gowns. A pretty fancy is
to trim it with Dresden ribbon show
ing the same flower as that in the
Swiss and having the flowers which

MILLS IN THE SOUTH.

That the South is peculiarly the
field for the successful prosecution of
the cotton manufacturing business is
a revelation OF the present and will
be still further eXemplified in the
future. That the fact was not gen
orally recognized at an earlier period
may be said to be one OF the wonders
OF the past. Yet, now and then,
some one in the East is found to
dispute the proposition,
Commenting upon the recent arti-
Gle in the North American Review, in
which the manufacturing advant-
anges of the South are strongly set
forth, the Manchester New Hampshire
Union, an organ OF the New England
cotton manufacturers, questions the
truth OF the statements and says
''some of its propositions are rela-
lively true, but the most important
are relatively talse." 1t goes on to
argue i'll this strain:
Labor AID the cost of living are
cheap, but they are dear at any
price. Manufacturing in the South
cannot be conducted with the quality
of help which can be obtained more
c:ieaply than in the North. 1t is also
notable fact that the domestic
econo ~ of the Southern kitchen is
entir, ly unsuited to the support OF
such Northern labor as might be
induced to go there. Board at any
growing locality is flom 81 to So "a
week higher than the same relative
quality of board would be in the
North"
Whereupon the Washington Post
proceeds to demolish the Unions
position in the following emphatic
manner:
''That kind of talk would be perti-
nent and interesting if 1t related to Il
proposed experiment, butit does not
relate to anything that is in the
least degree experimental. What
the Union says cannot be conduct
ed has been for years in most sue
cessfui operation. The Southern
cotton factories went through the
rash of '93 and the depression that
ollowed in much better shape than
those of the East or West. The
labor of the South is cheaper than
that of the North, and it's efficiency
has long been esta tablished. The fact
that many new mills are being erect
ed in the South as result of the
lessons of experience ought to be a
sufficient answer to the Unions
criticisms. AS to the kitchen and
the cost of board the Union is mis-
informed. The cotton mills opera
tives in the South subsist at less cost
than those of the North"
The Union stated further that "the
South will have to undergo great
change in the education of both it's
men and women if labor will ever
become as cheap an i contented as at |
the North" This strange statement |
is completely foored by the Post. as
That is about as complete an in |
version of facts as we have ever seen |
in any newspaper. The cheapness of |

or it is notorious fact, but it is

WHATEVER Mr.. Cleveland's views
are with reference to the matter, we
have never believed that he will re-
ceive the nomination for President
at the hands of the next Democratic
national convention. It is now
stated, with somecolor of authority,
that Mr.. Cleveland will not be cam
didate for third term and that he
has no ambition to serve another
term, but that he would be delighted
to go into history as the man who
refused a third term as President.
We do not believe that Mr.. Cleve-
land or any other American will ever
enjoy this distinction. The people
