Our meeting at Mathews Court
House was a union one, in which
Baptist, Disciples, Episcopalians
and Methodists combined, the
pastors alternating in preaching.
While not productive of large
number Of conversions, yet the
meetings were eminently spiritual
and uplifting, and have left
wholesome influence upon the
community. 1t was delightful to
behold such a beautiful spirit of
harmony, communion and fellow

The temperance mass meeting
on the third Sunday in the month
constituted fitting sequel to the
union meeting. 1t was a happy
thought in the Virginia Anti
Saloon League officers to dis
tribute throughout Tidewater
Virginia so many distinguished
speakers the Sunday previous to
the meeting of the American Anti
Saloon League in Norfolk.
Brother Ware had with HIM in
his portion of the county the Rev.
James Cool, DID, Of the New
York A. S. L. We had the Rev.

of the Missouri A. s. l.. who
spoke four times for us. On Sat
urday we went to the Lane

Grams and on Sunday at Central
Church. Gwynns island and the
Old Baptist Church.
Contributions were made at
these places amounting in cash
and subscriptions to $3.50 for

The JOURNAL, as is well known
at leastto the people of Mathews,
proClaims itself a Democratic
new spaper and. as such, sup
porter of the party nominees and
party principles. We believe
that amoTg the principles of
DeaOcracy-One enumerated by
I hos. Jefferson. the founder Of
the Democratic school of states
craft IS the absolute acqUieSccnce
In tile wiU Of the majority. Be
lieving that the principles of De-
mocraCy, its theory of govern
ment, its honesty of purpose and
its patriotism are for the highest
good of the greatest number in
the county. the State and the
nation. and knowing full we'll
that the. Democratic party can
survive only by strict adherence
to the principle of the majority
rule, we feel that it is our duty to
advocate that principle without
any reservation. certainly in
matters of party policy.
Four years of Grover, ending
in his treachery t. the party that
nominated him, and his aiding
the election of Mckinley. ought
to have impressed upon Demo-
Gratis the necessity of partyloyalty
In the recent primary held for
the nomination Of a State Sena-
tor. member of the House of
Delegates and county and dis
triCt officers the overwhelming
choice of the Democrats of this
county for State Senator was de-
feated, but no one doubts that
his successful opponent will re-
ceIve the enthusiastic and unani-
nous support Of the Democrats
- Mathews, 7 his + .ssSai4ss,an
bargain struck between the
Democ. ats who participated in
the primary, as binding upon
their consciences as if the con-
tract had been by them signed
and sealed.
The primary for county and
district officers was just as regu-
i. Jar, just as fair and equally as
binding upon those who Lartici-
pated in the primary as tine Sena-
torial primary. The nominees
for county and district officers
are just as much the Democratic
candidates as Col. Saunders and
MIR. Evans, and no Democrat can
find any sound reason for boiling
sss...---one more than the other.
No Democrat can support any
Independent or boiling candidate
for d county or district Office
without his severing his connec-
ton with the party and becoming
himself i bOlter. If, for instance.
any one styling himself a Demo-
Graf. should see fit to oppose Col.
Saunders or Mr.. Evans, and by
some miracle, should be elected,
he wo1ld-get be permitted to sit

in that body and would find him
Self politically o;tracised.
1t behooves the Democrats of
Matthews to- stand together for
the Democratic nominees, to pre-
serve the strength OF the parry !
and to keep dissension and schism :

If the FOUR HUNDRED and |
FIFTY-EIGHT Democrats who !
participated iii the late primary
will stand by the SOLEMN pledge !
which each voter took upon him
self by his participation therein
to support the nominees Of that
primary, no one can doubt that
the independent, boiling or Re
publican candidates will be over
-whelmed in the general elaction.
In fact the candidacy Of any
other than the regular party
nominees must be based upon

william II. Hofnblower Declares His In
dIctmeut Was Not the Result OF Any Crime.
MANCHESTER. N. H., May 2.-Wiliam b.
Hornblower deviated from his argument
In the Superior Court here to-day 10 resent
an implication by Attorney Frank 8. Streeter
that an indictment returned against Charles
S. Fairchild in New York in connection
with his management Of the New York Life
Insurance Company should be considered
in weighing his relations, as president Of
the New York Security Trust Company,
with the New Hampshire Traction Company.
The Security and Trust Company is de-
PENDANT in an action brought by Charles
@. Kidd of England, in which 1t is claimed
Kidd wal defrauded Of his holdings In the
traction company by the security COM
pany. The case was tried several months
ago and Kidd got a verdict for $3.50, 900.
This verdict wa set aside by the New Hamp-
shire Supreme Court and a rehearing was
ordered in the trial court. 1t was during
his argument that Mr.. Streeter referred
TO the indictment Of Mr.. Fairchild.
When Mr.. Honblower was arguing he
paused to make an explanation in regard
TO MIR. Fairchild. Mr.. Streeter Immediately
offered to withdraw bis statement, but
Mr.. Hornblower waived the offer aside
with some heat, saying that II was in the
record and could not be withdrawn; 49,,
He then characterized Mr.. Fairchild
as an honorable, upright man, who had
been appointed by President. Cleveland
Secretary of the Treasury, and whatever
might be thought OF Mr.. Cleveland's views
on the tariff and political questions, no.
body yet had dared to assert he was ever
guilty OF d~ishonorable acts or that he had
other than honest men associated with
bin.
Mr.. H~ornblower said II was true Mr..
Fairchild had been indicted, but the in
dictment was reluctantly returned by the
Grand Jury, which had announced that
Il believed Mr.. Fairchild had never prolted
or expected to profit by the Transaction,
which technically, under the laws Of the
State OF New York, was a criminal offence.
Mr.. Hornblower said that as q result
Of the act for which he was indicted the
life insurance company prohted hundreds
Of thousands Of dollars. Mr.. Fairchild
had turned over some stock TO the New
York Trust Company. Mr.. H~ornblower
said, at a time when Il was several points
Cd, and TO have sold II at that time would
have caused a panic. Under a vote or the
company, however, these stocks had 70
be sold on a given date. They were trans
ferrod 10 the trust company, but with the
provision that when they we're disposed OF
later the profits should accrue TO h New
York Life. This was done, and because
he looked after the benefit Of his company
he was indicted.

WARRINGTON, May after giving q
hearing to-day to several New York publish
ers who protested against the increase In
the postage on periodicals going into Canada
from the United States. which goes into
effect nex Tuesday. Postmaster General
Meyer to-day issued a statement setting
forth the position Of the Department. IN
der the reciprocal arrangement in force
for several years second class matter passed
between the two countries as domestic
matter. that is, at the rate Of one cent a
pound. bulk rate, without the necessity
Of a6ixing stamps.
This arrangement proving unsatisfactory
TO Canada and failing to secure the modi-
hcations desired, that Government last
November gave notice of the abroRation
Of the convention so far as second class
| matter was concerned. At the end OF the
stipulated six months the foreign rates
|, for printed matter-one cent for each
two ounces or fraction--would rave taken
effect had not the officials Of the two coun-
tries reached a compromise.
Under the agreement which begins on
May 7 all periodicals passing between
the two territories will pay at the rate OF
one cent for each four ounces or fraction
thereof. bulk weight, prepaid by stamps
affixed. This Is the second class domestic
rate now paid by others than the publish
| ers themselves, In response to the numer-
Gus protests against the new rate the
Postmsster-Gene to-day said the ar
rangement was the best that could be
obtained. Canada. having full control Of
her own postal affairs, had the right. he said,
TO determine the conditions upon which mat
ter should be admitted to her mails from
other countries; and IL was not within the
