fully fits present conditions among
certain elements in Lancaster than
anything original this writer could

"Any one may give publicity to a

one publishes n falsehood, knowing
at the time it is false, he becomes 8
falsifier, and is as guilty as the one who

Capture Six oyster pirates.

Captain Winder, in command of
the steamer James River, of the
Virginia oyster navy, has reported
the capture of eight alleged pirates
who were taken six miles above
Newport News. Seven were white
and ore colored. The men were
charged with oystering out of season.
The prisoners claimed that thew
were oystering on their own ground
but Captain Winder stated that he
saw the tongers three hundreds wards
out, and when the James River
approached the men went within
their grounds.
All OF the vessels of the Virginia
oyster navy are now engaged in
rounding up alleged pirates and
inspecting the beds of the State prior
to the opening of the season. The
vessels in the feet are the James
River, Rappahannock. Accomac an d

JUDGE PARKER's sPEECH.

BY late dispatch we were enabled
last week to give to CITIZEN readers
the salient points of Judge Parker's
speech of acceptance as the Demo.
cratic nominee for the Presidency.
Today on our first page we publish
his speech--or letter of acceptance
in full. The letter has struck the
country as a happy production. 1t
thrilled Washington like an electric
shock. The praise it receives is uni
versal. 1t has created wonderful
enthusiasm. It is looked upon
as another light on the character of
a man of whom comparatively little
was known by the mass of the peo-
pie a few months ago, and of whom
everything that has been learned In
the course of few weeks has been
evidence Of great statesmanship.
Hon. w. j. Bryan says the speech is
admirable, aud wound up his en-
dorsement with these words: "The
promise not to be candidate again
ought to strengthen public faith in
his determination to discharge the
duties of the Office with an eye single
to the public veal, according to his
best Judgment, His declaration
ought to be especially gratifying at
this time, when he is presented as
the candidate against a man who is
openly and VIGOROUSLY using the in
huence of his office to advance his
own political fortunes"
Perhaps there is nothing in the
speech which has caused so much
comment as the declaration of Judge
Parker that if he be elected to the
office of President of the United
States he will not be candidate for
reelection. Here is secret that is
not In the possession of the public
generally: When Mr.. Roosevelt set
about to prepare his speech of ac-
ceptance of the nomination, many of
the foremost men in the Republican
party advised him to embody in il a
declaration to the effect that If chosen
to the presidency he would not at.
tempt to secure another term. He
refused positively, and when the
pressure was increased, he became all
the more determined in his opposi-
ton to such declaration, and there
was no allusion to the subject in the
speech. 1t is morally certain that if
Mr.. Roosevelt is elected. he will at
once begin laying plans to capture
the nomination for another term.
lie Loves to smash preeedents, and
would be dearer to his heart
than to trough ride" through this
venerable one, set by the father of
his country himself.

POLITICAL.

Judge Parker's brother is a Re
publican, and so is his son-in-law
President lioosevelt's uncle is Dem
ocrat, and so is Senator Eikins
father-in-law. The family vote il
considerably mixed this year.
Chairman Cowherd, of the Demo
cratic Congressional Committee, has
announced the members of the Dem.
ocratic Campaign Committee, among
whom are Senator Thomas s. Mar.
tin aud Congressman IL. l.. Nav.
nard, of Virginia.
Gen. L. A. McAlpin, lifelong
Republican and for many years one
of the prominent officials of the New
York Republican organization, has
Informed his friends that he will
not be able to support Roosevelt for
President.
Admiral Schley may have injected
into the campaign an issue that will
give the Republicans some trouble.
This is the old question of the naval
battle of Santiago aud who won il,
together with the evident bad treat.
ment Schley received at the hands
of the president and the navy de-
partment. Admiral Schley has
written most readable article on
the battle-clear, concise and con-
vincing.
President Roosevelt is after Re-
publican office-holders of the South.
and after them in a way that he ia
determined shall be productive of
results. Mr.. Roosevelt has recently
renewed his statement first made two
years ago that the Federal offices in
Southern States are to be given to the
Republicans who get out and hustle
for the party. Several Republican
leaders from Southern States have
called at the White House recently.
and upon each Of them have been i'm
pressed the fact that they need not
expect to have recognition ut the
hands of the President W hen the time
for the distribution of patronage
comes around unless they have some
thing to show that they have made q
real fight for the national ticket.
They must work to taste pie.
The New York Sma has finally
declared itself for Roosevelt for
President, and announces renewed
allegiance to the Republican party.
The San is generally understood to
be the property of Mr.. j. Plerpont
Morgan. TO within few days ago
the San has been bitterly hostile to
the occupant of the White House.
La it's own inimitable, nasty way it
has held Roosevelt up to scorn and
contempt, day after day. 1t has
said meaner things about him than
any newspaper in the country. And
now on top of it all it comes out and
announces that it proposes to support
him because it prefers "an erratlc
man at the head of staid party to a
conservative man at the head of an
cratic party" or that in effect.
Roosevelt has made his peace with
the Morgan crowd in Wall street.

On the surface there was little signs
Of spiritual success, we regret to saw,
but the inspiration received bv those

In the least. The Christian people
testified TO having been strengthened
and uplifted.
Undoubtedly the attendance was
the largest in recent years. The first
of the meeting the ATTENDANCE was
small, but Tuesday night teuters be-
gan to stream in, until fully three
tourths of the cottages were oc.
cupied-even full to OVERLOOKING.
Dormltory accommodations ut the
hotels ran short, but without incon-
venlence to others visitors were all
made comfortable. On Sunday last
crowd that in other DAYS would
have been numbered at from five to
six thousand was on the grounds.
A conservative estimate will put it
at 1000. Not more than the fourth
part of these, however, were tenters
on the ground, get it will be seen
that the one hundred cottages and
and the boarding tents were worked
to their fullest.
AS to pulpit service, Elder Whitley

talent, though the prominent divines

The singing was good indeed, the
general conduct exemplary, the
grounds were at their prettiest, the
cottages never more comfortable, and
the weather. while somewhat cool,
took on decidedly the preferable

JOY aud satisfaction expressed this
season there is every reason to believe
that next year old Marvin Grove will
repeat one of its highly successful
seasons such as is recalled not over
decade ago.
