shippers OF the god BScchus in the

lately become terroriEed by a mystic
rious clan. which Is working in the
interests Of temperance In a novel
fashion.
During the last month nearly every
tippler in the place has come to grief
one way or another. The last case OF
misfortune falling upon the besotted
happened when the police OF Green
wich were called upon by Justice OF
the Peace George W. Brush 10 arrest
a negro who was making a disturbance
In the village street
Policeman Jones took into custody a
very black man. who was later discov-
cred to be Charles Carolig. Justice
Brush said the man had been roaring
up and down the village streets. re
citing some fancied wrong that he said
had been done him. but which was not
then evident Carolig tried TO follow
the old saving and tell his troubles
TO the policeman but was hustled
into a cell as soon as he reached
Greenwich.
When the jailer aroused the man he
called. Come out here. you niger"
A torrent OF profanity issued from the
cell. and upon examination the keeper
found that Carolig was really as white
as himself but his true color had been
concealed under a well-polished coat
Of stove backing. which had evident
ly been applied while he lay in an al
cOholic stupor
II Was but a short time ago that
Justice Brush brought the Greenwich
police 10 CosCob on a similar errand.
when they found a snow white negro
making a rumpus In the village street.
He had been whitewashed while IN

There has been intimation from
many quarters that, on account OF
the apparently strong factional feel
ing between Judge Mann and his ad-
herents on the one side and Mr..
Tucker and his on she other, and the
agitation over the liquor gues-
tion, the Republicans Of Virginia
would stand a good chance OF max
ing a good showing or even capture
the State in the gubernatorial cleo
tion next fall. These intimations, OF
course, emansted from Republican
or semi-Republican sources. but that
those who gave them expression were
not sincere Is evident from the fact
that one and ali OF the more promi-
nent men 10 the party whose names
have been mentioned in connection
with the nomination have promptly
and In no uncertain tOne declined the
empty honor. There isn't one OF
them who would not be a candidate
II he really thought there was q
chance OF election, but there isn't one
who cares to volunteer TO take the
drubbing he will surely get. Judge
Mann and Mr.. Tucker may lambast
each other to their hearts content
and until their best friends do not
recognize them, but the gentleman
who wins in the Democratic primary
Will be the next Governor OF Virginia.
The knowledge Of this fact accounts
for the scarcity Of Republican csndi-
dates, and the scarcity OF Republican
candidates discredlts their optimis-
sic reports.

entire new alignment Of the parties
Meny Democrats have forsaken the
principle OF tariff for revenue only
and are supporting protective rates
where they are supposed to affect

Nothing but sectional prejudice will
prevent a new alignment all around,
but shat this will be strong enough
80 check the movement there can be
little doubt. Northern Rspub-
Leans favored protection generally
when the South had nothing TO gain
from protection, but now that the
South has built up and developed
industries which will supposedly i'm

where she South will apparently de
rive no benefit. This, rather than q
change OF principle, anywhere, ex'
