COLLECTOR OF REVENUE, WESTERN
DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA.
President Mckinley has solved the
Virginia republican political problem
by appointing Hon. Park Agnew, as
collector of Internal Revenue of the
Western District of Virginia
No republican today, is held in
higher esteem, and more popular with
the people, irrespective of color or
politics, than Alexandria leading
business man, The Hon. Park Agnew.
He is the chairman of the Sth Con-
gressional committee, member OF
the State Executive Republican Com
mittee and is consulted on all queS-
tions concerning the good OF the re-
publican party in Virginia.
He served as postmaster of Alexan.
dria under President Harrison and
made one of the best in the Southland.
He ran for Congress in 1883 and came
Within 1000 votes of defeating the son
of Gen. Robert E. Lee. The supposed
invincible, w. H. T. Lee. The demo
cratic majority always rolled up to tlve
or six thousands, but the popular
AgneW came near defeating the gooc
Lee. He now succeeds to the collec
torship, formerly held by the honorec
Gen'l Fitzhugh Lee, Ex-Governor o
Virginia.
Mr.. Agnew is now mentioned as th'
man to make the race for governor
next fall and he is also being urged t.
run for Congress from the Sth Virginia
District as it is conceded, he can re
deem the 8th District to the republi
can party. No man is more popular
aggressive, and who can make friends
than Mr.. Agness in the home city o
Gen. Washington.
He is noble specimen of philanthop!
and his hearts desire, is to benefit th'

PROSPERITY AND PANIC

Republican newspapers are doing
all they can to impress upon the
farmers the idea that prosperity has
dawned in the United States because
of the election of Mckinley.
The rise in the price of wheat has
been spectacular, and, although it
was caused by famine and short
crops abroad, the increase in price
has beer exploited to prove that Re
publican legislation is the producer
of prosperity.
This argument has been urged with
constant reiteration, and has had
more or less effect, but there are some
statistical people in Iowa who are
still unconvinced. Among these dis
believers in Republican sophistry is
the editor of the independent of
Forest City, Ia, who INDUCES i'll a
little mathematical calculation. with
results which are not at all comfort
able for the Republicans.
With unusual generosity this
editor takes the panic year Of 1898
and compares the prices received
then by farmers for seven leading
agricultural products with those re
ceived in 1897. The prices are those
quoted on the Chicago market No
vember 18th of 1898 and 1897:

which are necessary in an affair of such

The reception and ball which the citi-
Zens OF Augusta will give, will be far and

the city. Prominent people will be pres

course. the Governor and legislators, to
gether with the State officers, will be
present with their ladies.
The hall is a handsome one for an event
of this kind, much better adapted in ev
cry way than any that the city has ever
had. Not only is it large, but it is con-
veniently arranged with many spacious
rooms within easy access to the halt
which can be utilized as ante rooms,
smoking rooms and for all the various
other purposes required.
The hall will be beautifully decorated

Only Three Days Remain to Secure Signature:
10 Print Goth Agreement.

~ '''Hi O'otH hS' ceiHeHt'
Fall River. Mass, Jan. 29.-Reports
from Boston indicate that Goo, geo
spindles of cotton mills having agencies
in that city are represented by agents
who have agreed to sign the agreement
to curtail the print cloth production in
New England. This number added to
the spindles represented by Fall River
mills which some time ago signed the
agreement, leaves 100000 spindles to be
secured within the next three days.
There Is a possibility that these can
not be obtained, but local mill men. as
rule, feel confident that the movement
will be successful. OF the 100000 spin
dies pledged in Boston, all agencies
there, except that of the Pacific mills
of Lawrence. are included in the agree
ment. If the movement should fail, the
Fall River mills will run So hours per
week, and allow the market to improve
gradually.
The agreement to curtail production,
if signed by enough mill owners, will so
into effect Feb. l. The agents here
claim that the movement did not start
in this city, as is generally understood
but that the large buyers of goods who
have been dissatisfied with the condi-
ton of the print cloth trade, ask the
agents to cooperate in some movement
to reduce the running time, in order To
lift from the market the large stock OF
surplus goods. Fall River men now
claim that the buyers have thrown the
entire load on them. The number OF
spindles in this city pledged to the move
1rent is 2,200 900.

DeS Moines, Jan. 29.--The National
Woman Suffrage association INDUCED
in a heated debate yesterday on The
proposition for a plan of work. led by
Clara +. Colby OF Nebraska, to add the
chairmen Of standing committees to
the business committee Of the associa
ton, thereby enlargins it to four mem
bers. Mrs. NcCullOch of Illinois, AdGi-
son of Kansas, AtNater Of Montana
Nelson of Minnesota. DeVere of Indiana
favored enlargement to give all the
branches Of suffrage wori, better rep
resentation on the mana ging committee
1t was opposed by Susan 3. Anthony,
Rachael Foster Avery of Pennsylvania
Carrie S. Chapman Gait of New York
Anna Howard ShGw of Pennsylvania,
Mrs. Bradford Of Colorado, Henry &.
Blackwell of Massachusetts and others,
on the ground that enlargement would
make a cumbersome committee and ilu-
possible to get together, and would in
terfere with the efficiency of the work.
The proposition was defeated. 35 to 10
1t was decided to insist that the ma :
tional organization should control state
campaigns where the national assOcia-
ton gives aid. National workers say
that state workers in the new states who
have not had experience do not know
how to run a campaign as well as the
national workers who have been
through it in other states Miss An
thony declared she would never take
hard earned money, contributed for this
purpose. into state campaigns, unless
she could control the campaign. The
person who contributed money controls
the campaign nowadays, she said.
The following officers were reelected:

dent at Ia-ge, Rev. Anna II. Shaw.
