The Religious Herald, of Richmond,
in an editorial article in its issue OF
this week. under the heading, Shall
Gamblers Control" sounds the fol-
lowing notice OF warning
That the Democratic Legislature
should willingly and deliberately
continue to legalize gambling is
serious business. Do these gentle
men suppose that christian voters
are going to vote the party ticket
like dumb, driven CATTLE" no mat
ter what the party does? Is it con-
ceivable that the bulk Of our citizens
are going to knowingly become par
ties to professional gambling, because
the gamblers and their friends domi
nate the Democracy Already there
are mutterings far and near. Every
laymen, christian women, applauding
our course in attacking this evil. II
it goes out to the christian public OF
Virginia that the will of the gamblers
is stronger with the Virginia Legis-
lature, than the voice of her sober,
thrifty, law abiding, citizens, be sure
that we are not at the last Of it.
The editorial concludes with the
query: Shall plain, a pernicious
immortality be sanctioned by law?'
The answer Of men of all parties, a
few excepted, would be in the neg
ative, and any member of the Legis
lature, who is so deaf to their wishes
in this respect, ought to be and
would be retired permanently if the
attention of the public was called tc
his vote in favor Of gambling law
Every member in a matter so impor
tant should be required to give al
account of his stewardship to hi!
constituents The Democratic party
would not endorse his vote for gam
bling, and he should be held respon
sible for it, rather than his party
We cannot, however, endorse too
strongly the fight which the Herald
is making in this matter. Gambling
must not be legalized in Virginia,
and our representatives, if true to tn
best interests of their party, will no
permit it.

S ATURDAY, JANUARY %, 1896,
Entered at the Postoffice at Accomac
G. H., Va, as second-class matter.

a bill was introduced in Congress-
on Tuesday by Representative Tyler
authorizing an appropriation of a
million dollars to construct fortitica-
tons at Cape Henry and Cape
Charles. Forts are necessary, in the
opinion of Mr.. Tyler, at these two
points of land which guard the en-.
trance to the Chesapeake bay, if we
would protect the cities in Underwater
Virginia and Maryland, including the
National Capital from the flying
sQuadrons or any other kind Of
squadron which might be sent by
hostile nations to destroy them. Fort
ress Monroe and Fort McHenry, in
the opinion of Mr.. Tyler, would do
very well to protect their respective
neighborhoods, III the days of can
mons which used 50 pound balls, but
not now when cannon are used which
can project missiles from eight to
fourteen miles. Mr.. Tyler believes in
times of peace in preparing for war,
and the opinion seems to prevail, that
Congress should make the appropria
ton asked for, however, remote the
prospect of war at this time.

The Democrats of Maryland, who
were so anxious to rid themselves of
Democratic bosses in the last cleo
ton, have doubtless concluded by
this, time that the votes which they
gave them to accomplish that end
has resulted only in knocking out
one set of bosses and in putting in
power another set-that they have
only snapped Boss German for Bosses
Lowndes and Wellington. Ithas been
demonstrated to their satisfaction,
perhaps, by the election of Yelling
ton as United States Senator on last
Wednesday, that German, however
bad boss he might be, could never
have been so tyrannical as Lowndes
and Wellington have been in e2ercis-
ing their power in overriding a
statute which had been in existence
nearly hundred years, the Eastern
Shore law, and that they have not
the right to expect much of q party
which in thirty days after it got into
power, regardless oflaw, decency and
the violence to the conscience Of the
representatives who protested against
it, perpretrated the wrong. Our way
ward brethren had not the right to
expect much of the party of spoils, y
though, and the lesson, it is hoped
will be useful to them, and may they
so profit by it, that they will in the
future seek to right their wrongs in
side of their party, instead of going
over to the enemy and expecting any
thing from them.

A Matter of Opinion.

a gentleman was greatly surprised
and pleased the other day at the
reply lady gave to the question :
''Do you plant Vick's Seeds?n Her
answer was: II always plant Vick's
seeds in the front yard, but we get
cheap seeds in the back yard, which
| know is a mistake"
1t pays to plant good seeds, and we
advise our friends who are thinking
of doing anything in this line to send
10 cents for Vick's Floral Guide for
1896. This amount may be deducted
from the first order. James Vick's
Sons, Rochester, N. Y, are the pio-
neers in this line.

Of Sept. 9th, | have to say that
some of my tenants and myself
have been using Orchllla Guano
on land for corn, 400 pounds to
the acre, for several years, and
that on an average, it has at
least doubled the crop Of corn
and fodder, with exception OF
this year, when the very severe
drought we have had has cut off
all crops and prevented fertili-
zers from acting. l think Or
chilla is great permanent land

creases the present crop to

Wherever party virtue has reared it's head this mad crowd has stricken 1t down by abuse. Not strange Is it then, that Captain Johnston, who has done so much for the party in the trying times Of the past, should come to the rescue now. Not strange is 1t, that the Adver- tiser furies should be turned loose upon him for 1t. He is a menace to their ef- forts in blasting the democracy of Ala bama. He IS in their way. He doesn't cringe when the tyrants speak. nor jump when their lash creaks, therefore he must be disposed of. no matter what the cost. The rank and file of the party is Tor him for governor. Gold standard and bimetallist democrats believe him worthy, qualified and deserving of the place. All taxpayers, regardless of poli- llcs. believe him a good man, able to bring credit upon the state and to reunite its broken political members. But the princes of discord at Montgomery fear this, hence they arrange to divide what IS left of the party and a good man, against his own will and judgment we believe, is made the tool to do it. MT. Clarke may be nominated but it will not be as choice of the ma jority of Ala bama democrats Alabama democracy openly questions the black belt methods of nominating and electing its candi- dates. If Captain Johnston is nominated not an honest doubt will exist In the mind of any delegate present that he IS the choice of the party in the state. He doesn't want it if he Is not, nor do his friends. But one thing the party at large is determined upon, and that is that fair play shall rule.-Talladega Reporter.
Birmingham state herald., 1896-01-19

expect to defeat Captain Johnston for the nomination for governor. He may convince the office-holders, bankers, money-lenders and other favored classes In the cities and money centers of the state but when he comes before the masses of the party who earn their dol lars by the sweat of their brow and possess practical knowledge of the eff feet that the gold standard is having on the prices of their products and appreci- ating the purchasing power of money, he will find that these old Jeffersonian democrats, who have grown gray in the service of the party and have never until now heard the dollar of the daddies" .traduced, will cast their votes almost unanimously in favor of restoring silver to the identical position it occupied be- fore these financial doctors began their unsuccessful experiments with the mon- ey of the country.
 Believing that the interests of the masses of the people, and even the sue cess of the democratic party in the com ing campaign in the state of Alabama, depends greatly upon the triumph of the principles advocated by Capt Joseph F. Johnston, the News favors and will con tinue to advocatc his nomination with all the zeal and what humble ability it's editors may possess.-Marion County News.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

If the Armenians could only locate a few gold mines in their country they would secure all the intervention by Eu- ropean powers that they desire.--St. Paul Pioneer Press, Rep.
 Of late years the senate of the United States has been the object of severe critf- cism from many sources, and 1t has been due principally to the tendency of the few
 to block the intentions of the many in time of parliamentary emergency If the members of the upper chamber of con- gress are wise they will correct the evil complained of before they incur further the displeasure of the American people, Baltimore Herald, Dem.
 To believe the report that Joseph Cham berlain is today the most popular man
 in England one is also compelled to be- iieve that the English people have been completely carried away by the theatrical trckery of an artful and dangerous dem
 agogue. MT. Chamberlain appears to
 bear much the same relation to British statesmanship that Coin" Harvey does to American finance-New York Mail and Express, Rep.
 Armenian towns are still sending com- pulsory memorials to the sultan prais- ing him and declaring they live in peace and happiness under his benign rule. The Turkish newspapers print these memori- als complacently, and in view of the facts the procedure has certain ghastly hu- mor not to say diabolical. Perhaps that i; the way the Turkish editors view it. This is real ghoulish glee.-Philadelphi Press, Rep.
 If there were large amount of gold in the hands of the people, we are conti- dent that it would find its way into cir culation, and, instead of having its mer- its questioned, we think that 1t would be
 received with high degree of favor The fSct that it does not circulate. that one so rarely encounters gold coins in the everyday experience of trade, is because
 there is so little gold in the possession of the people-Boston Herald, Ind It seems incredible that even the ,.: ,-. ent intensely partisan congress can dare to propose a new tariff bill which im- poses high and barbarous protection ist" duties on all imported raw wools
 and which, if it should become a law, would throw our wooden manufacturers back into the old slough of despond in which they had been wallowing for thirty years until the Wilson law gave them free raw materials. The Dingley tariff
 bill is worthless as a revenue measure,
 but 1t is very serious menace to all the labor and capital employed in American woolen industries.-New York Herald, Ind.
