MAY JoLLIFY CHEAPLY.-Every
youngster who has been putting away
pennies to buy frecrackers for the
Fourth of July will rejoice to learn that
tirecracker prices will probably be very
much lower this year than ever before.
It's all because the Wilson tariff bill
greatly reduced the duty and importers
have flooded the markets.
Under the Mckinley act S cents a
pound had to be paid on all firecrack.
ers brought into this country. Under
the Wilson tariff there is an adyalorem
duty of so per cent. A box which used
to be>taxed Sc cents will now be taxed
only u cents.
AS frecfackers are perishable and
cannot be held safely from season to
season, the importers will have to dis.
pose of their immense importations q,
low prices. The retail price is not
likely to be higher than 2 or 8 cents o
package, and they could be sold at that
with profit to the wholesaler, the
iobber and the retailer. The new duty
will mean lower prices, too, for cannon
crackers, Roman candles, skyrockets,
pinwheels, devil chasers, etc. The only
fireworks that will probably cost as
much as ever will be the more expen-
slve fancy pieces made in this country.

THE KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS.
Secretary Carlisle's friends controlled
the Kentucky democratic State con-
vention in the opening proceedings
yesterday.
At night numerous dilatory motions
were INDUCED in, the Clay men want
ing an adjournment till tomorrow.
AS neither the committee on creden-
tials nor the one on resolutions was
ready to report, this flibustering was
kept up for over two hours with much
disturbance. The committee on reso.
buttons was ready to report at 8. p. M,
but delayed its report, awaiting the
outcome of the credential committee,
which was fighting over contests among
the delegates from Louisville and New.
port. Senator Lindsay prepared the
majority report on resolutions, which
embraced strong honest money plank
and endorsed Cleveland and Carlisle
by name for their financial policy and
administration. 1t was signed by nine
of the thirteen members of the COM
mittee.
There were two minority reports
one signed by Rhea and Ellis for the
free coinage of silver at 16 to 1, and the
other simply reaffirming the platform
of 1892, signed by Clardy and Coulter.
There was intense feeling, ecause the
fight between the Hardin and Clay
men on seating delegates in the com
mittee on credentials delayed the reso-
lutions, and the proceedings of the
convention, but nothing could be done
towards facilitating business. Several
hundred motions to adjourn were voted
down, and the convention remained
waiting, although the committee on
credentials at II p. M. announced it
could not report till after midnight.
Senator Lindsay and chairman Berry
refused to report the resolutions, or do
anything till the report on credentials
came in.
The convention adjourned at $50
until this morning without accomplish
ing anything.

HAIL IN STAFFoRD.-During the
storm of Monday evening lightning
struck in the field of Mr.. L. B. Pendle-
ton, in Spottsylvania county, and de-
stroyed two stacks of wheat. There
was also slight fall of hail, but it did
little damage. There was also con-
siderable fall of hail in Stafford, in the
vicinity of White Oak Church, which
did some damage to the wheat and oat
crop and fruit trees, and in the vicinity
of Fletcher's Chapel and other places
in King George the hail was very se-
we're, breaking windows and seriously
damaging fruit, corn and other crops.
Corn, watermelons, pickles, peaches
and all other growing crops were al
most totally ruined in several other
places in the county.

standing the fact that the delegates SAT
up until 100 this morning trying 10

convention with practically no success
at all, they were up and at it again
early this morning. The convention
was in running order by $50 o'clock.

report of the committee on credentials

were entitled 10 victory
The majority and minority reports
from the committee on resolutions were
presented. The majority report con,
graduates the country upon the repeal
of the Mckinley bill and upon the re-
turning prosperity under the opera
ton of a reduced tariff, and denounces
the threat of the republicans to re-es-
tablish protective tariff; it condemns
all efforts to create any distinction
among citizens because of religious
faith; reafirms the principles de-
clared by the democratic platform
of 1892; present administration and
express endorses the undlmlnlshed
confidence in President Cleveland
and Secretary J. G. Carlisle and
expresses confidence in the wisdom
and ability displayed by the present

dorsement; it proposes for the pun

Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle are
entitled to the thanks of the entire
country for maintaining the gold STAN
dard and for the issuing of $3.50, 100000
of interest-bearing bonds. The minority
report also declares in favor of both
gold and silver as the primary money
of the country, to be issued as legal

equality.
A scene of enthusiasm followed the
reading of the majority report. The
names of Cleveland and Carlisle we're
received with shouts Of appreciation.
:. Mr.. Rhea offered resolution that
all that part of the majority report
after the words 1882" be stricken out,
so as to make the platform simply en-
dorse the democratic platform of 1892.
This is constituted the third report of
the committee on resolutions.
John S. Rhea was opposed to endors-
ing Cleveland and Carlisle. He made
a violent attack on the administration.

Now THAT the social equality Of
negroes has been imposed upon the
white taxpayers of New York by the
republican Legislature and Governor of
that State, the negroes there are de-
handing that members of their race be
put on the police force of that city. and
their demand will, in all probability,
be granted by the republican authorities
there. The New York republicans are
evidently already tired of their short
reign.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. JUNE %, 1895

WHETHER OWING to good sense, or
the influence of the administration, OF
that of money, the democratic conven-
tion Of Kentucky is to be congratulated
upon the wisdom of declaring against
the silver craze. The democratic party
is composed chiefly of workingmen,
who, above all others, want the most
that their wages will buy; and how they
can favor scheme by which the gov
ernmeut shall give the rich owners OF
the silver mines two silver dollars for
every dollars worth of silver bullion
they may take to the minis, which
dollars, they, the workingmen, shall
receive in payment of their wages, is
what is plain to none but the silver
mine owners and their agents.

THE Baltimore .Sun has been set be-
side itself by its violent opposition to
Senator German. Nearly all the dem
ocratic primaries in Maryland having
resulted in favor of the Senator, the
Sun advises those who took part in
them not to be bound thereby. Such
advice is surely not democratic; for the
foundation rock of democracy is that
the majority shall rule. If the result
had been against the Senator, the Sun
would have accepted it as final. The
Sun should know that President Cleve-
lands disregard of the expressed will
of the majority of his party,in his State,
i, not an example that democrats
should follow.

IT is STATED in the Richmond news
papers that as the bond of the gold
brick swindler was seven thousand dol
lars. and as the States expenses in the
matter of his arreet and confinement
did not amount to mora than two
thousand, her treasury has profited to
the extent of five thousand by means
of the swind'e BIT as the State
should not be- receiver of stolen
goods, the five thousand over and
above her expenses in the case should
be turned over to the friends of the
man who bought the "brick," and, II
not voluntarily, they should bring suit
TO compel her to do so, for the very
GOOD reason that he hasn't sense
enough to take care of himself.
