The Great Contest In Ohio.
The oontest in Ohio will be interesting
and exciting. Fortunately, both parties
bave nominated men of character as well
as cf ability. It would be a wonder if the
Democrats Bhould succeed, for Ohio is not
only a Republican State by a considerable
majority, but unfortunately fcr the Demo
crats, their party is divided, with factions
in Cincinnati and Cleveland, two important
cities, violently opposed to Campbell, the
;.~*--7nccratic rominee. Tbe New York
.*.;-.' says "ihe Democrats of Ohio have
ated fcr Governor the one man whom
. be hardest for the Republicans to
'And yet the Republicans must beat him
they will be lost, horse, foot and
t* "agoons, in the autnmn of '92.
a They akeady see the necessity of con
tributing very generously to the campaign
fund, and it is safe to say that the market
price of voters -who are on the fence will
run up to an nnpreoedented figure.
This canvass promises to be very bitter,
very close and very exciting, one of the hot
test we. have had in many a year.
As to the special dramatis personae,
Major McKinley is popular and deservedly
so. His publio reoord is beyond the reach
of hostile criticism, and without doubt he
would make an efficient Governor. What
ever the people ol Ohio may think of his
absurd tariff theories, his queer notion that
the more you tax us the better off we are,
tbey have great respect for tbe man.
His opponent, Governor Campbell, is also*
a man of marked ability. To a record
which defies investigation is added an in
tegiity of personal character which has
never been assailed. He is a politician of
limitless resources, shrewd, long-headed
and daring. Those who know him best ac
cuse bim of being something more than a
politician, and deliberately charge that be
has many of the finer qualities of tbe
statesman. They insist that he can serve
the country efficiently in a wider sphere
than tbe State of Ohio affords, and declare
j that the hand of destiny is pointed In the
direction of the White House.
We may look to Ohio for tbe flrst skir
mish in the Presidential battle, for tbe sub
ject whioh will control the voters of that
State is the same snbject which will be de
bated in all parts of the country next year.
The issue, stated in plain terms, is this:
Are the people most prosperous and con
tented, and have they tbe largest material
resources when taxed to the verge of ex
tortion in order to accumulate money for a
Billion Congress to spend, or are they bet
ter off when the government is run eco
t.iomioally and every dollar of the laborer's
earnings is left in his pocket except what
is necessary for our national current ex
penses?
In other words, Do we want the neces
saries of life made as cheap as possible, or
are we happiest when oompelled to pay out
all our earnings for food and clothing and
to travel on the ragged edge of starvation?
So far as Mr. McKinley is concerned
-ere is a certain desperate element in this
With the polls of Ohio against
him he will personally become a mere pile
of political kindling wood. He stakes al)
ho has in the world on the result of this
election, and if it fails him he will be
buried beyond the hope of resurrection. No
disaster could be greater than to have his
own State tell him that his tariff bill,
pushed through Congress by the combined
influence of every truat and monopoly in
the land, is a oloisal blunder, tbat the
pedple have been taxed beyond the point
of forbearance and now demand a fair sbow
for the sale of their farm products acd tbeii
labor. Such a verdict would relegate him
to the darkest corner in the corridor ol
time, and its possibility, or rather, as many
believe, its probability, furnishes about ac
strong a motive fcr action as any man can
have.
He is bound, therefore, to win at all
hazards and at any cost. He will see to it
that the most honeyod and persuasive
orators take the stump in LL behalf, and if
tbey fail to con-ticce the peopie there is
nothing left but a resort to the purchase ol
votes enough to carry the election.
As to this latter device, the party bosses
will assume all responsibility. They wiii,
of course, back their candidate with every
argument, every kind of appeal and every
dollar they oan command. No matter how
the victory is won; everything will be for
given if success is the result. Tbat is the
new motto, adopted by tho Republicans
during the last twenty years.
They have good reason, however, for
their piesent uneasy state of mind. With
tbe ghost of a defeat in Ohio to haunt tham
tbey would fight tho Presidential campaign
with nothing better than the courage o!
Richard on Bo3worth flald, and when the
fight ecdtd they wculd cry for "A horse:
A horse!'' in order to escape tbe oondem*
nation of an outraged people.
It is easy to see, tten, why tho Republi
can leaden are especially solicitous about
Ohio and vtby they hoped that some other
mau than Campbell would be nominated
by tis Democrats. The Situation Is unu
sually interesting."

Rev. J. J. Lafferty on Rev. Sam Jones. 1
From a letter of Rev. J. J. Lafferty in ,
theßicmond Christian Advocate of the 16th j
inst, we copy a portion of what he says of
Rev. Sam Joues, ono of whose sermons he '
heard here, »s follows:—
"No other minister could use the ' 'gen
eration of vipers" style without blockading
his way to the churches. lie cuts into pus
saos, dissects cancer s, cauterizes ulcers.
Who dare do it? His humor choloroforms
the knife. Sincoro solicitude for souls
anoints the edge of the blade, "lie spoaks
the truth in love." His humor and wit
disarms the victim while he conciliates by
a sympathetic tone. He sets tho sinnor in
a ridiculous posture. Tbe crowd laughs
and he lays ou the lash. The merriment
is a means, not au end. The earnest pur
poso to save a soul is never cheoked by the
ripple of smiles. There is an eagerness in
the eve, a repressed force, reserved cais
sons, in full view th»t show the seriousness
of the campaign. None fail to see that the
humorous story, inimitably told, is mere
by-play, strategy, to uncover tbe enemy
for bombarding.
There may be men a match for Jones in
, frocklicsome phrases, but not in use of
humor to pry and pioneer fcr tbo thin
' edge of his iron wadgo and steel maul.
The funny preacher is usualiy a buuoon
1 without conviotion or concern. The preach -
I er in raiment of camel's hair, unless mellow
in love and sweet in spirit, is a scold whose
' soowl and yell harden men. From a triv
ial fellow in the pulpit, "courting a grin'
f for the sake of tbe jest, from tbe bully
. with tbe frowning forehoad and lond lungs,
, "good Lord deliver us!"
God bas a use for J ones, else tbe ap
plause, tbe throngs, the full finances would
turn his head. We have a letter from
Bishop McTyeire, 'Sam Jones is here
; Nashville] and God is using him." A
decade of this unheard-of popularity has
gone by. It way have warped Jones. Who
1 of us could havo escaped suicide by rent in
, the soul, swollen to splitting by vanily.
Bascom, with far less welcome and no oon
, verts, without a hatful of dollars at every
collection, put on airs in parlors and at
■ dinners. God took Summerfield away ear
-1 -y-
That J ones makes mistakes goes with
out tho saying. The to arrc r
ganoe, to contempt of critics, pulls upon
" him with tha leverage of his own fame and
i fortune. I wonder he is as humble as he
• seems.
If I bad a voice that could call and cau
tion every youth "inorderß" among us, I
: woalii sfcr-T-- in the ear: "Covet not the
> wand oi J ones. it ii*. a wagip rod in his
i hand; in yours, a wooden folly.'' he who
swings on tbat trapeze must leap with the
unerring foot and elastic limb of the cham
ois, or drop disgraced in the dirt. Jones is
5 first —the balance nowhere.

in the pulpit has saved him from ruinous
wastage. Hia printed sermons will dwarf
, his fame. He tnnst be heard to weitrh him

"The persecution of the Jewish people
by the Russian government justly deserves
and reoeives our unqualified censure. We
extend to them our sincere sympathies,
and believe that this government, in con
nection with the enlightened governments
of Europe disposed to unite with us, should
take proper steps to alleviate tho wrongs
inflicted on tbis long-suffering and op
pressed people."

An Admirer of Rev. Sam Junes.
Among the thousands who hcaid Rev.
Sam Jone9 on the last Sunday he preached
hero, was Mr. N, L. Blakemore, formerly
of Sangersville, this county, now a resident
of Tenth .Legion, Rockingham county, who
is quite an.admirer of bim, &a appears from
his letter to the Rockingham Register in
which ho says: —
"Well, we went to Staunton, s-iw and
heard the great evangelist, Sam'l P. Jones
preach. We bad read of him and v.-ent to
hear him without prejudice or partiality
towards him, so we oonld be able to form a
proper opinion of him, acoording to our
judgment, as a man and a preacher of the
Gospel. In our opinion, he Is the greatest
man on this oontinent in the oourse he has
espoused. There is but one Sam Jones,
aud our great-arrand children will never
see his like. He cannot be duplicated.
There is more magnetism about bim than
auy man, we believe, now living in his call
ing. He electrifies all in hia hearing. On
Sunday morning, the 5-h inst., there were
ten thousand persons present. Perfect si
lence prevailed ;to illustrate, you oould
have beard a pin fall. His sermon iv the
evening *;to men only,}, which was
to by at least eight thousand, was the
grandest we ever heard, in deolaring the
doctrine of our Lord and Master. It was
simply grand, and its effeot was plainly
visible upon saint and sinner in tbat great
congregation. He said in substance, that
he would like to have some evidence of the
approval or disapproval of his efforts for
the good of son Is ainoe ha had labored with,
and for tuom, daring the time he 'tad been
with tbem, and said that when he closed
his sermon, he wanted all present that ap
proved of his course, to come and take him
by the hand. We believe, that as far as
we could judge, there was at least ninety
per sent of that vast crowd of eight thou
sand persons who took hit-i by the hand.
And, strange aa it is, the most violent per
secutors and revilers he has, are members
of the different brauchei of the Christian
ohurch. We believe bim to be a man of
God, tbe opinions of others to tbe contrary
notwithstanding. His amusing sayings, as
published by the newspapers, is not a cor
rect standard to judge bim by. Ha must
be seen and hcaiu before any one can some
to any thing like a correct opinion of him."
A Woman Eoasted.
The explosion of a gasoline stove pro
docsd horrible cons-roti?nc93 at the resi
dence of O. B. Baker, in Washington on
fiatuiday evening. Maria Butl6r, the cook,
was enveloped io ttimes, all her oiothiag
being set on tiro by the stove, bhe rushed
upstairs to the chamber where Mrs. Baker
Was lying with her babe upon the bad, and
she set lire to tho hangings as she ran.
Mrs. Biker, enatphin£ up her babe, ran
downstairs and the buttling wowan threw
herself upon tha bad and endeavored to
wrap herself in the bedclothing, but this,
too, oaught fire, and when sjme gentlemen,
called In by the screams of Mrs. Baker,
reached the room, the cook was found un
conscious, roasting on a bed of fire. The
house had meantime taken ure and the en.,
gines were soon at the door. The burned
woman whose charred flash fell from ber
bones, was carried to Froedmen's Hospital
and died at C o'clock laßt evening. The

A lawyer friend advisos us that there is
no law to make a oouoty in Virginia re
sponsible for an accidsct to life or limb
growing out of defective oounty bridges,
roads, Ac. This being: true, the Legisla
ture should lose no time in passing a law
that wili make coantiss responsible in dam
ages iv such cases.— 2'etersburg inde-Ap
peal.
We agiee with our Petersburg contem
porary. There is no more reason why a city
should be responsible in damages for neg
lected and dangerous streets than that a
oounty should be for dangerous aud eke
orable roads, and if the General Assembly
will pass a law at its next session making
: the counties so amenable, it will have a flue
effect and will be worth hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to the State. The people
of Virgicii do not appreciato what thoy
lose in value of property every year by
neglecting to have good roads in every
county. Tbo road question is as important
as the debt question.—Norfolk Landmark.

Attempted Suicide in Roanoke —
"Kit" Carson, a real estate agent of Koan
oke City.and a native of Appomattox coun
ty, attempted to oommit suicide yesterday
evening by taking landanum.
Carson went into Gofftuan tfc Hoffman's
drug store about 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon and purchased two ounces of lauda
num. Mr. Coffman turned bis baok after
seeing Carson watted npon. Tbe clerk
turned away, and then Carson deliberately
uucorked the phial and drank the contents
at one swallow. He then walked to the
rear of tbe store and said to Mr Coffman:
"I guess I have done tbe thing this time."
Mr. Coffman paid no attention to tbe re
mark, and Carson repeated it again.
"What have you done?"' said Mr. O-.-fi
man.
'I took that laudanum. I want to die."
Mr. Coffman wanted to give him an erne*
lio, but he refassd to take it. Or. Simmons
was then sent for and injected appomorp
hia into his arm, when the dose soon came
up.
Carson was very much unooneerned
abojt the nutter aod said he would ss soon
die as live. — Lynrhbnrg Advance, July 11.

for treatment by a specialist after failiDg to be
