A CATALOGUE or GRIM DISASTER
An English Periodical Assigns n Different
Variety to Each Month OF 1901.

(From the Baltimore American
A gentleman residing in Baltimore
and who has beon travelling abroad,
sends to The American the following
serious prophecy or forecast of the
year 1901, which he found in an
English publication in great demand
among those who knew of it's exist
once:
In January, according to this au-
thority, France is to be the theatre
Of political agitation so great as to
endanger the existence Of the Re-
public itself.
In February and March events of
grave importance will occur in the
East, and India will threaten revolt
from British rule.
In May Ireland will also threaten
rebellion.
In Juno the Anarchists will again
alarm the world and the young King
of Spain will have need to be guard
cd from treacherous enemies.
In July there will be terrible ca
tastrophies, disasters and cataclyms
all over the globe. Travel will be
dangerous at this time and people
who wish to assure their safety had
best remain at homo.
In September India will again suf-
fer from famine.
In October the Dorvishes will re-
volt anew.
In November Holland will assume
a dangerous political attitude, and it
will require all the diplomatic wis
dom Of the combined powers of Eu
rope to avert conflict.
In December there will be local
instructions, rovolts and strikes.
The predictions made in this same
publication in 1890 for 1900, of ter.
riblo wars, the assassination of a
King and of Il frightful famine in
India have been fulfilled.

AN AWFUL BREAK.

Mr.. Nathan B. Scott, U. s. Sena-
tor from West Virginia, and national
committeeman, at dinner given Gov.
Roosevelt in New York last Friday
night made an awful break. His words
were as follows:
Fright here l want to say that be-
lieve in trusts; they are good thing.
The Standard(Oil Company put in its
lines to all the small towns where oil
is produced, and if it was not for the
Standard Oil Company, this property
that we have would not be there
today"
His words were being telegrapheo
out before their effect was felt, as al
present had the same belief, though
afraid to express it publicly. The who'll
company were trust magnates. M
sooner did the danger dawn on then
than they hurried to the Associated
Press, which Is trust also, and vii
do anything the Republican part
wants, and demanded the suppression
of the statement, but it was too lat
the bird had flown. Now they are cal
ling it a lie. 1t is is terrible campalg
utterance, but poor Scott is not ia
i. seeing man and does sometimes sa
what he thinks. He has made nun
, Der of other breaks, but none so ba
r as this.

A DANGEROUS MAN.

Republicans are fond of saying that
Bryan is dangerous man. He is
dangerous man we admit and will
prove so to some if elected president.
He will prove dangerous to the law
breakers, and it is this class which
breads him. The Neeleys, the Rath-
bones, and of course the Mark Han
mas. A dangerous. man is one who has
committed crime or is capable of it.
One of the greatest crimes any man
can commit is bribery in election and
coercing voters. Mark Hanna has done
both. Bryan has no crime beyond his
love for the people charged to him.
This we admit is grave crime in some
eyes. Which then is the dangerous
man, the one who has committed a
crime and who is getting ready to
commit it again, or the man who has
not Pontius PLATE sent a just man to
crucifixion and released Barrabas who
was guilty of sedition and murder.
There are Pontius Pilates sitting in
Judgment on Bryan now, and they are
ready to convict the innocent and re-
lease the guilty.

AFTER PULLMAN.

The Manufacturers Record after
citing a great many kicks against Pull
man cars. asks who has another ?"
We have. 1t consists in the practice
of the porter getting his work off his
hands as soon as possible regardless of
who are in the car. He pulls down
and shoves up the upper berths with
their rafting chains and clanking
locks and beats the head of the sleep
ers birth next to the one he is making
I'D any hour after daylight. 1t is alb
solutely impossible to sleep if he be-
gins, and he never fails to begin about
8 o'clock in the morning on any car We
ever slept in, or tried to sleep In, or
paid g.. 90 for the privilege OF inhaling
foul odors and poisonous air In. We
would also like the word palace"
hauled down and some word apprOpri-
ate run sup. Dungeon, Black hole.
Prison, Catacomb, any old word, so
1t does not belle the conditions, and
deceive the suffering and much gulled
public.

A CARD.

Following the correspondence and
communications published in THE
SPECTATOR of Oct. 26. 1900, over the
signature of j. M. Quarles.
My letter of Oct. 22nd, 1900, to Judge
J. M. Quarles, and published with his
communication above referred to, is
my answer, and the only answer de-
sire to make, to every part of his COM
munication, except the following:
"There has manifestly been DELHI
crate and concerted effort On the part
of my enemies to injure me. and Mr..
Bumgardner's speech is part of the
scheme. ,"
Imade my speech in Buena Vista,
Va, on the evening of Oct. 18th, 1900,
without Interview, communication,
counsel, or suggestion with, or from,
any person or persons with reference
to anything said therein, and l am
alone responsible for every word and
syllable of it; and no one had any
knowledge of what proposed to say,
or is responsible through any connec-
ton with me for anything l did say.
And the statement, above quoted, that
my speech was part of a scheme to
injure Judge Quarles, is wholly with
out foundation, and is absolutely un-
true. Very respectfully,
J. LEWIS BUMGARDNER.

CAMPAIGN LITERATURE.

We beg to call the attention of the
railroad employees Of the Tenth dis
trict to the fact that Mr.. II. ID. Flood
voted and made a speech against the
employers Liability Bill'' when
there was hope of it's passage by the
Virginia Legislature in 1898, and that
he only voted for it in the last session
to catch your support for Congress.
Had Mr.. Flood dreamed that his last
vote would have adopted the measure
he would not have supported it.-Old
Dominion Sun, Oct. rs.
The above statement is without
foundation in fact. There was no hope
of passing that bill in 1898, only five
votes were cast for it then in the sem
ate, and It's best friends knew it could
not pass. A better bill was brought
forward in the last session when Mr..
Flood and fourteen other senators sup
ported it.

DEAFNESS Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining Of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by Ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

THE STANDING ARMY PERIL.

The Republican party is inching up
on the question of the standing army
of 100, 900 men. 1t tells the public 1--WE
have the smallest standing army of
any first class nation on earth" We
never needed 25, 900 men as standing
army, standing army is the greatest
danger that can beset country,
worse than if it belonged to a nation
unfriendly to us. 1t is of course, they
say, a great disgrace to be hind in the
size of our navy and especially our
army. Look at Russia, they say,
2, 900, 900 men ready for action. Ger
many 100000 men armed and equip
ped. Austria 100000. France ,000,-
600. England not SO many as before
the Boer war, but still great many
more than the United States. Shame
on us that we have only an army of
100000 and that not permanent. 1t
needs no argument to convince Rus
sian or German what q standing
luChiIo. hO leuooId
walk into any mans house unbid.
They order him to go with them. He
disappears from bis family and friends
and the world and they know not
where he is and may never know his
offense or his fate. In Germany and
in Austria the men are all in the army,
the women do the work, they carry
the bod, and all of their great build
ings are erected by the aid of women
who carry the brick and morter and
sleep IN the shavings. No men carry
hods there. II any one in Americ;
wants to see women carrying hods he
is paving the way for it by voting thi.
time for VIM. Mckinley. There is 8
bill already drawn, ready to be Offered
as soon as Congress meets making oul
army 10000 permanently. This is =;
jump of 900 per cent at one bound. L
will never grow smaller. Imperialism
must have an army, then will COM
the outriders and the fiunkies.

THE ROSSER INCIDENT.

We had never dreamed that the slight
put upon General ROsser by the Grand
Camp of Confederate Veterans, at
their reunion held recently in Staun-
ton. was not the merest accident. But
the subjoined editorial which appeared
in the Staunton SPECTATOR on Friday
last, convinces us that we have not
only been mistaken about the matter,
but that the affront was intended by |
the Camp as a rebuke to as gallant a |
comrade as ever wore the gray, be-
cause be had seen fit to exercise the
right of every citizen of the republic
to change bis views On questions OF
political economy, that press upon the
American people for solution at this
time. The editor of the SPECTATOR
is himself member of the Camp. and
the paper has been looked upon in this
community as it's organ, and may,
therefore, be assumed to speak for II.
Old Dominion Sun.
For its age and opportunity we
suppose the most monumental perver-
ter of facts that has gone regularly into
the business since Annanias and Saphl-
ra his wife, were carried out, and
Munchansen passed from the scene of
active and energetic work, the Old
Dominion Sun, of this city, takes the
cake.
| The editor of the SPECTATOR is not
now and never was a member of the
Grand Camp of Confederate Veterans,
nor any other Confederate Camp. He
is no Teddy Roosevelt to go into war
and then bring the whole thing home
him, lie down with it, get up with it,
live on it, breathe it and otherwise an
noint himself with it's fragrant and
unctious balm.
The SPECTATOR never was the organ
of the Grand Camp, nor any othel
camp, nor anything living or dead
save and except it's owner and editor
and we believe the writer of that edi
torial knew that fact when he wrot'
the article and that he had a deliberate
and set purpose to mislead and de
ceive when be said it was looked upol
=. as such in this community. The arti
, Gle probably hurt others beside Gen
I Rosser.
3 On the staff of the Sun we learn Their
t are various small Rossers, men VIII
: dropped what little record as COnfeC
:. crate soldiers they had, with due al
Q ologies and penitence, and in its stea
:, lpicked up government job, indeed a
9 present have their good strong arm
8 well rammed into the public cril
It Some of them may have been hurt b
l. the shot at Rosser while stealing Unc
10 Sans corn. 1t often happens wine
n shooting at larger birds some beast
crow or buzzard gets in the way an
y receives the shaft in his own preciol
d bosom. This may be case of tn,
I'd kind, and if so we are sorry, becau'
8, we seldom waste ammunition on TIL
Re kind of small game.

The gentleman in New York, MIR.
Alvord, who got away with $7OO,UO
from the First National Bank, will no
doubt agree that times have been very
prosperous. He is said to be good
Republican and and supporter OF the
gold standard ON the principal that he
did not care to steal any 80 cent dol
lars. Should he be captured and tried
while Bryan is president he will posi-
bly, join with other capitalists in the
public cry of hard times.
