In discussing tho causes OF railroad
accidents, a recent writer atlrms that
trade unionism among employees undoubt-
eddy contributes Its part 10 the loosencss
with which orders are accepted.
"In operation" he says, ut has Il level
ing effect among employees by cutting out
the special Incentives to superior talent,
ana leveling the interiors to a general
average. Employees naturally look TO the
organization TO secure their promotions
and increased pay, rather than to an adj

AS we have said. many people believe

but no sane man believes that any sa-

be remarked III closing that one of the
strongest arguments in favor OF tho dis
pensary system is that tho liquors thus

Poisonous Liquors.

New york has been greatly wrought up
nv tho death Of seventeen men who drank
poisoned whiskey from one Of tho sa7
looms In that city. The proprietor was
I, arrested and the coroner IN ms
examination discovered that 1t Is q COM
f,non pra q Ice In New York for saloons to
,nanufatt,.re their own alcoholic drinks
I,ro,n chemicals. wood alcohol, q deadly
poison. forming e. part Of the concoct!ot.
lat is further stated that secret manuals
N,,re used In the cheaper trade which give
RECIPES for making all kinds OF liquors
and wines by the use OF chemicals and
cheap spirit.
There is no doubt that much of the
stuff sold from saloons In nll parts Of
,,he country is impure to say the least,
ana makes the liqQor evil so much the
Emore terrlble. 1t has been found im-
practicable to prohibit tho sale of alco-
L holic drinks, for It Is impossible to de-
! stroy tho demand. and SO long as there
IS a demand among the people there Will,
s3n one way or another, be q correspond
| 3ug supply. II Is for this reason that
many men Who would gladly zee the
a liquor traffic abolished are in favor Of
I1he license system They believe that
Ntf liquor must be sold the traffic should
be carried on under the regulations and
restrictions OF law and under the SUI
pervis!on more or less OF tho authorities
Of government.
But in licensing the sale OF alcoholic
drinks the government assumes a serious
responsibility. 1t Is the business OF the
government when 1t grants a license to
ii man TO traffic In liquors to see to II
that he does not abuse his privilege, TO
see TO il that he complies strictly with
the regulations Of law, and that he does
not make his place Of business a public
nuisance. But In addition to all this the
government also makes Itself responsible
for tho quality OF the liquors sold, In
q~uestionab!y 1t Is the duty OF government
10 sec to It that all alcoholic drinks
sold under the license system arc pure
liquors and not poisonous connections
made by cheap and doubtful processes.
In all States the laws regulating the sale
or poisons Is rigid, and complaint is made
ny the druggists OF Virginia that the
law in this State Is so rigid as seriously

The "Solid ~South"-History.

The Solid South
a correspondent of The Times-Dispatch,
writing recently Of former presidential
campaigns and prominent political Lead
ers Of other days, said in connection with
the Hayes-Tilden campaign o + that
''breal<ing thoEsoiid South had been re-
garded as ian impossibillty, ard, as a
matter OF fact, no attention was paid to
1t, as it, was supposed to DO assured to
the Democracy. Instead, the whole coun-
try was watching the admittedly doubts
full States Of New York; New Jersey, Con
~necticut and Indiana"
This is an error. There had been no
''solid South up to that time, a ma
jority Of the 6puthern States still had
Republican Governors, and q number OF
them were under Republican Legisla-
lures. Only Virginia, Texas Kentucky,
Missouri n Tennessee had Democratic
Governors, and in the national election,
four years before, Virginia had named
Republican presidential electors. &
At the beginning Of the campaign Of 1876
a isolidh Democratic Soutl, was but a
promise, and tho term. '.solid South" was
coined in the National Democratic Con-
jvyention at that year, which nominated
Samuel j. Tilden for the presidency,
The late Colonel Thomas stanhope
iFlournoy, OF this state, was a DELEGATE
to the convention, and was selected 70
second the nomination OF, Mr.. Tilden on
behalf OF Virginia and the South. In tho
vigorous speech he made Ire created great
enthusiasm by the use Of this Language:
"NVesof the South have no maj to offer
for the exalted position of President OF
the United States, but II YOU OF the
North win give us this good man from
your Empire, State, by the help OF God
and an untrammeled ballot. we will give
him a solid South"
This was the promise. and this was
the origin OF the term. The people Of
tina South made Colonel Flournoy's prom-
!se good, but Zach. Chandler, the Na-
tlonal Republican chairman of that year,
and his l~ieutenants. by methods which arc
well remembered, and which have mado
tho pages OF the history Of the Republican
party forever black, robbed Mr.. Tilden
Of the electoral votes Of South Carolina,
Florida and Louisiana, and thereby Put
Mr.. Hayes In the office 10 which he was
never elected.

government In South Carolina. Florida

point III my scheme. My real object is to
have a Shakespeare celebration week,
during which all the most celebrated
Ehaliespcarean actors and actresses shall,
so far as possible, unite to give repre-
sentations. Another part OF my scheme
is that a portion Of the receipts shall be
given towards a permanent Shakespeare
memorial in London cannot but think
that what l have In my mind would be
q splendid success. and ! have no doubt
that Shakespeare lovers In the country
will look forward to II as much as VIII

1t is most appropriate for London to
have such a celebration, and it would be

do likewise. The stage will be exalted
