Did Not Hiss Stonewall Jackson.


Editor Post:
With the excellent staff correspondence
you had at the Virginia Republican
state Convention at stanton on the 23d.
! am surprised at the following paragraph
IN your issue Of to-day:
BY Kissing the name Of Stonewall Jack
son the Virginia Republicans will make
as much progress as the people who set
out TO catch flies with vinegar bait.
As this incident occurred while the con-
vention was in a state Of semi-confusion
j am satisfied that the surrounding cir
cumstanccs must have been overlooked
by your correspondent. and I would ask
In spirit OF fairness that you will pub
lish the following:
The Hon. James Frazer Of ROckhridge
in his speech evidently aroused the ami
mostly of several gentlemn Of the Tenth
Congressional District. who expressed
their disapproval by hiss. The hiss
was given just as Mr.. Frazer mentioned
the name of Stonewall Jackson.
Hiss, you kissing dog. If you can af-
ford 10 hiss the name OF Stonewan Jack
SON. replied Mr.. Frazer. Now. this is all
that is in the incident Some one who
wished to hiss MIR. Frazer Kissed at the
wrong time. and Mr.. Frazer was smart
enough to take advantage of the inter-
ruptiOn. w. w. ASHBY.

THE CALICO BALL.

The latest reports Of social events in
the West comes from Ohio, where calico
ball was given TO raise funds to assist
in procuring a new trial for a man con-
demned 20 be hanged on July 31st for
the murder of his wife. There is always
something uncanny in remunerative char
tiles, as it were, but it must be confessed
that the calico-ball business is new ana
striking. There is something dashing
and iaunty about a calico ball that lines
up so feelingly with a death warrant.
The cotillon was doubtless danced under
a floral design representing the scaffOld,
and the other decorations were suggestive
of the playful tastes and imagery of a
sensitive and cultivated people.
The committee OF arrangements, how
ever. was unfortunate in not being able
to secure a hall sufficiently close to the
penitentiary annex to give the condemned
man an opportunity TO catch the strains
of the dreamy waltz or the quickstep
and reel, but then a committee cannot
remember everything and the next time
these details will be more firmly i'm
pressed upon them.

THE I.ABORING MAN WOULD SUFFER-
MOST.


At dinner given by the Democratic
club of New York, few days back, Hon.
Perry Belmont made a speech from
which wc make the following extract.
that'lab5rlpg men and clerks should read
and study. He said:
"Of all the people and wealth Of our
country, the portion receiving salaries
and wages will suffer most by depart
ure from the standard gold unit of value
and the resulting fluctuations in our cur
rency. The sum paid for salaries and
wages in our country the last census year
was two billion two hundred and eighty
three and quarter million dollars. 1t
was distributed thus:
Salaries 10 officers, firm members, and
clerks. at 1891 ,95S,20S.
Wages of skilled and unskilled opera
tives. $f.59O5 16.997.
wages to piece workers. $500, III .3A.
How can any possible Mckinley tariff
pretend to give remuneration TO salary
earners and wage earners for the loss 10
be inflicted on them by an inferior Nc
kinley dollar?
eft is that gigantic sum paid to labor
which is assailed by the cheaper dollar.
With that cheaper dollar those who are
on the coinage question enemies Of Cleve-
land seek to pay our greenback debt. our
bonded debt, and. indeed, all private
debts contracted In gold dollars. But If
a President and Congress be chosen next
November to do that, whose imagination
Is capable of estimating the loss 10 our
working men and working women?
after they have once been paid in 30
cent dollars, when will their wages be
raised again to the gold dollar Standard
