A Horrible Hold-Up.

1t is becoming quite fashionable for
playwrights to portray the lives OF
great men upon the stage. The latest
of this class is brought forth by George
Hazelton, the author of "Mistress

BLOWING HOT AND COLD.

AS remarkable as it may seem we
now see tariff newspapers deploring a
reduction in the tariff schedules be-
cause they say such reduction would
be only for the benefit of the trusts,
enabling the big fish to swallow up the
little ones. The New York Herald re-
Gently had the gall to publish an unu-
sually long editorial, for it, on that
subject, warning Congress and the peo-
pie of the terrible results of reduction
on steel. Anybody with three grains
of sense can see the secret of such war
ming. No thief ever preached virtue
with more knavery. Everybody
knows that the tariff has given the
trusts their life, and that reduction
| would be their death if they can die
But the Herald suddenly discovers thai
the thing which made the trusts, Il
withdrawn, will give them new life
that is the tariff being known to be th'
very food of the trusts, that food OF
which they have fed, grown and tat
tened, if removed, will not only no
weaken them, but on the other han'
will give them fresh life and vigor. A
well tell us that when the heart OF
| man is cut out he will live better thai
before, as to tell us that the trusts wi
grow fatter without tariff than with il

LAST SUNDAY.

The sun struggled through the Clouds
The wind sighed through the trees.
The chill air and the close fitting lid
drove the pedestrians in doors, and
kept him by his freside. Looking out
upon the landscape Que might per
chance see distant chimney smoking.
The snow melted slowly and the thirs-
ty earth drank it up. The chimney
and the earth did all the smoking ano
drinking.

Before the election we were told that
it would not do to touch the tariff IN
the midst of an approaching political
campaign. But the Republican party
promised SO soon as the storm passed.
it would take up the tariff schedules
and 90 over them and REVISE them.
Rut such revision must be made by the
friends of the tariff, and not by It's enc

the best weekly paperin Virginia. The
