PORTO RICO AS A PARTY ISSUE.

Whatever else may be said of this
plan, it is excessively bad politics
for the Republicans. Certain pro-
tected interests are strongly opposed
to Porto Rican free trade, but they
can hardly be pleased with the out
come in the House. They ought to
have saved their ammunition for a
real occasion. What they have
succeeded in doing has been to put
the Republican party in a some
what ridiculous position, all for the
sake of beng able to impose a tariff
tax only one. seventh as much as the
ordinary tax on other imports, and
this for scanty two years. The
common sense way to look at it was
that in annexing Porto Rico we had
simply added a few square miles
more to the sugar lands of Louis
lana, little more to the TOBACCO
lands Of Connecticut and Virginia,
and something more to the fruit
lands Of Florida and southern Cali
fornia. It is as if another county
or two had taken to raising oranges,
or the sugar belt on our Gulf coast
had been widened a few miles. If
we must raise tariff barriers, let
them be against outsiders and not
against our own; and little Porto
Rico in all decency belongs on our
side Of the line.

The reason why a kiss

The reason why a kiss
Contains so much felicity
Is just because each pair of lips
Is full Of electricity.
1t flashes in the eye,
Or in smile so tender,
And then the lips together pressed
Produce the kiss in splendor.
Now, this device is known
BY the name of kissaphone,
And of all the phones invented il is
by far the best.
No other electricity,
Gives half so much felicity,
For Love turns on the current, and
the kiss does the rest.

You do not need battery,
Nor any dynamo machine
With magnets and such natter "
You do not ring a bell,
Nor Central call, Hellol-ing-
1t only wants a wish, a sign,
To set the thing a-going.
The kissaphone was not
Invented by an Edison;
1t never has been patented,
Like corsets or a medicine,
1t don't get out of gear
II anything is missing;
There is no yearly bill to pay,
No charge for extra kissing.
The kissaphone's in use
Throughout the whole community
You need not be millionaire
To have the opportunity.
There's no more cost to pay
For one kiss or for twenty
So why not push the thing along,
And kisses have in plenty2

Under majestic oaks, and in shady

seen happy parties and couples, and
alluring strains from a Lynchburg

brook; for dancing was kept up with
spirit till all were summoned to the
most sumptuous feast ever spread on
picnic grounds. And to that summons
none were deaf.
When some hours later "a storm sud-

scurrying hither and thither, the ex-

to, for Pamplin was reached ahead Of

More Interest was manifested ion the
August term of our county court than
az any session since the memorable
Price trials, a little more than one
year ago This was because of the III

at Iredway's, considered to be "A nui-
sance and menace TO the comfort and
health Of the people living in the neigh

TO aid IN the prosecution Of the Messrs.
Allen Bros, while the interests Of the
defendants were also well looked after
by Judge Mann and Hon. II. " Flour
noy Judge Watkins was assisted in
