After the recess the Committee on
Credentials and Permanent Organiza

mended the election of Senator Gor
man as permanent chairman. The
report was unanimously adopted.
The chairman of the Committee on
Resolutions reported in fayor of the
tariff platform as enunciated in the
Chicago platform of 1892, and endorsed
President Cleveland. In relation to
the financial question, the report fav
ored the gold standard and opposed

John K. Cowen's name was presented
as a delegate amid cheers and hisses,
the demonstration continuing for some
minutes.
Mr. Triplett realized that a fight
would be made against Mr. Cowen and
he therefore took him out of the race.
With but eight names before the con
vention, ex-Governor Carroll, of How

result of the primary election in
Georgia Saturday week seems to have
settled the United States senatorship
question. The sweeping victory
achieved by ex-Speaker (Jrisp In the
counties that voted is accepted as
indicating a walkover for the ex-
Speaker. Indeed, Hon. F. G. dv

Thrown by a Mule. —The Bridge
water Herald says that, on last Thurs
day, Graham, a little son of Robert S.
Hamilton on the Turk farm on Mossy
Creek, was thrown from a mule and
seyerely bruised and sustained a severe
gash in the cheek. Dr. Brown was
summoned and dressed the wounds.
Several stitches were required to close
up the cut in the cheek."
Cyclones and floods.—The pretty
little town of Wyeth City, in Marshall
county, Ala., on the Tennessee river,
and thirty miles west of Gadsden, with
a population of 500 people, was com
pletely wrecked at eleven o'clock Tues
day mornirjg of last week by a cyclone.
Eighteen dwelling houses were destroy
ed, five being swept completely away
and not a stick of the timber left. The
cyclone lasted five minutes and then
passed in a northeasterly direction.
Trees were broken down like
weeds. Fifteen people were wounded,
six of them fatally. Several persons
are missing and it is probabie that they
will be found dead. Two people were
killed by lightning.
Lake City, a mountain village in Cal
ifornia, was nearly destroyed on Fri
day by a waterspout. No" lives were
lost, as far as known, but the property
loss is said to be heavy.
Death of Mrs. James Johnston -
Mrs. Elizabeth Johnston died at her
home near Lexington late Thursday
afternoon after an illness of some
weeks. The immediate cause of her
death was paralysis. Mrs. Johnston
was the widow of James Johnston, a
highly respected citizen of county
who died six years ago. She was born
in Augusta county sixty-two years ago
and was a daughter of Thomas Armen
trout. She leaves a family of two
daughters and four sons, the youngest
of whom is about grown. They are
Misses Susie E., Annie L. Johnston,
and Messrs. Thomas E., W. Zack, John
A. and J. McD. Johnston. The de
ceased was a member of the Lexington
Presbyterian church, a woman of an
earnest Christian character, great
kindliness and hospitality. Her fu
neral services took place from the
Lexington Presbyterian church Satur
day morning and she was buried in
Lexington cemetery.— Lexington Ga

a committee of the board was appoint

law which it was proposed to establish
at Washington and Lee University.
Senator Daniel took the offer under ad
visement for several weeks and then de

While F. L. Spinner, one of the ice
dealers of Clifton Forge, was driving
along the railroad to Smith's Creek last
Wednesday his horses became fright

Robert Wheeler, son of Rev. V. W.
Wheeler, narrowly escaped drowning.
The former was injured about the hips,
but the latter was unhurt. Mr. Spin

Senator Martin is in the awkward
predicament of the man who attempt
ed to ride two horses going in opposite
directions—he has fallen between,with
no prospect of effectively "catching

It is said that Senator John W. Dan

several weeks the offer made to him
by the trustees of Washington and
Lee University of the new chair of
Commercial law, has declined to ac-

It is rumored that the C. and W.
railroad will be pushed through to the

Boy Killed by Bulldogs.
Last Friday evening, Johnnie Mar
tin* 11 years of age, son of J. Martin,
Tax-collector, near Carter's Bridge, in
Albemarle county, was sent to the
pasture, on the adjoining farm, be
longing to Tucker Coles, for the cows,
and was in the act of driving them
home when he was attacked by sever
al -vicious bull dogs belonging to Mr.
Coles and killed. As he did not return
search was made for him and his body
was not found till 2 o'clock Saturday
morning. The poor little boy's scalp
was torn away, and his neck showed
too plainly the impress of the fangs of
the dogß. He was also badly bitten
and lacerated in other parts of the
body, and his clothing torn off.

Storm at Natural Bridge.
.Last Monday evening one of the se
verest rain storms visited the section
of Natural Bridge that has been known
for many years. The storm was ac
companied by terrific thunder and
vivid lightning. The crops were al
most ruined. For miles not a meadow
was left that was not submerged.
Cornfields were torn to pieces, and
fences and bridges swept away.
Mr. J. S. Lotts had a yery valuable
horse killed by lightning,ami some nar
row escapes were made from drown
ing, but so far as heard no human
lives were lost.
Just after the storm, Capt. W. A.
McClelland had a severe fall, which
caused a hemorrhage. Dr. A. N.
Johnston was summoned and rendered
all the relief possible. Captain Mc-
Clelland is still in a critical condition.

The Upshot of the Convention.
—The adoption by the Staunton con
vention of a free silver 16-to-l platform
was so universally expected that the
fact excites but little comment. But
there were two other very notable
events there, one of which was of no
sort of consequence, while the other
will have lasting and far reaching
effects. The event of no consequence
was Senator Martin's declaration of
conversion to the silver fallacy—a
conversion which has no doubt been
effected in larger degree by the major
ities for silver in Virginia than by any
new and profound investigation which
the senator has given to the subject.
But the matter is one of not the small
est moment, and few words will be
wasted upon it.
The other event is, however, a very
sad one. For the first time in the
history of the Democratic party of this
State it has adopted the policy of gag
law and has declared _that men with
opinions sjiall not declare those opin
ions. This is neither Democratic nor
Virginian, It will, we fear, be bitterly
resented by those who are denied their
liberty.
It is a pity that the platform adopted
wasted so much sophistry upon the
impossible effort to convert fifty cents
into a dollar. A few pithy declara
tions upon the way in whicn the people
of the South are oppressed by the
national-bank system, that confiscates
their local credit and forbids their
local banks to afford the people the
financial accommodations so essential
to them, might have produced good
results. What was actually done will
only be deplored by intelligent men
elsewhere. — Richmond Times.
A judicial deliverance upon the sub
ject of woman's rights that will meet
with general approval has just been
handed down by the appellate division
of the supreme court of New York in
the following language:—
. "We do not feel disposed to enter in
to a discussion of the questions of dif
ference between the parties. They are
questions about which people of both
sexes disagree. While in a legal sense
the husband is the head of the family
and has the right to rule the household
and compel his wife as well as his chil
eren to obey him and submit to his
dictation in the details of the manage
ruentoftbe house and servants, still
the practical view of the marital rela
tibn usually is that within her peculiar
sphere, the home, the wife should have
her own way and be allowed to man
age and control the details of house
keeping and servants. An intelligent
woman should certainly not be subject
ed in the presence of servants and
guests to humiliation and ill treatment
by the husband, by the offensive nsser
tion that he is master and she must in
all things obey him."
The principle here judicially declar
ed, says the Index Appeal, is general
ly recognized as the law of the house
hold except in those rare instances
where the traditional head of the fauri
ly is governed by the instincts of the
brute rather than those of the geutle
man. But it is well to have the law
established by an authoritative deci
sion for the protection to women who
may be so unfortuate as to be at the
mercy of men of.the baser sort. This
is a practical emancipation of the gen
tler sex that is worth more to human
ity than the right to vote or to wear
bloomers.
The Partisanism of the large repub
liean majority in the present U S
House of Representatives is so great
that is not only overrides all law jus
tice and equity, but even the reports
of the republican elections committees
of the House, and turns out democratic
members of that body, and gives their
seats to their republican contestants
though those reports say the former
were fairly and legally elected, and
that tbe latter were not.—Alex. Qazette,

The Cincinnati Price-Current of
"The status of the spring wheat crop
is being more clearly shown, and not
withstanding the unfavorable influ
ence of excessive moisture in large
areas in the Northwest the crop as a
whole is assuming an encouraging
position. j
The potato crop is securing a good
start, and the outlook is generally sat
isfactory, indicating a large yield.
The hay crop, with some exceptions
in the Ohio valley regions, is abundant.
The government crop report for
June, just to hand, reflects a decline
in average condition of the winter
wheat crop compared with a month
ago, from 82.7 to 77.9. We believe it is
not too much to say that is practi
cally certain that the average next
month will show a further decline.
We are not accustomed to interpreting
the crop situation in a less favorable
light than the government officials,
but, this season has been one in which
there has appeared to us to be unmis
takable evidences of a lees favorable
basis for the winter wheat crop than
has been recognized in the official and
commercial calculations generally,
and the correctness of the position we
have maintained is being corroborated
by the changes which are overtaking
the reckonings in regard to this crop—
changes which do not so much reflect
adverse influences in this later period
as the mistakes of earlier judgment,
and the failure of the crop to develop
favorably when the essential elements
for such conditions were lacking, to a
degree not fully recognized. We could
not believe that with such an autumn
start as the wheat crop had, with
subsequent conditions as we under
stood them to be, culminating in a
tendency to early or premature and
uneven ripening of the grain, there
could be other than disappointing
results in yield quite in contrast with
the surprises of a favorable nature
which were disclosed last year.
The week has been somewhat re
markable for the wide and rapid
changes in wheat prices in the specula
tive markets, closing Jafc higher than
a week ago, at Chicago. A great
variety of influences have been brought
to bear, and there are no indications
to suggest that a continuation of such
changeableness of trading sentiment
or speculative power may not reason
ably be expected.
If the government figures are to be
accepted, the outlook favors a harvest
of 475,000,000 bushels or more, which,
with the manifest surplus going _ oyer
to the new crop year, and the existing
outlook for other portions of the
world, would seem to imply an export
able surplus in this country for the
coming year fully equal to any require
ments from importing markets.
But we regard it as problematical if
this season's crop will reach the pro
portions now suggested by the govern
ment figures —especially with reference
to the winter portion of the crop, the
average condition of which we believe
to be more than fully represented by
the government average."
Tenth District Convention.
A meeting of the Democratic State
Committee for the Tenth Congressional
District of Virginia was held at Staun
ton June sth, 1896, for the purpose of
fixing the time and place for the hold
ing of a convention to nominate a
candidate to represent said district in
the 55th Congress, and to fix the basis
of representation in said convention.
Present—Messrs. W. E. Allen, of Alle
ghany; A. W. Finch, 'of 'Botetourt; E-
W. Hubard, of Buckingham; and
Joseph Button, of Appomattox. The
committee selected Amherst Court
House as the place for holding said
convention and fixed the time at 12
o'clock on Thursday, July 30th, 1896,
and the basis of representation at one
delegate for every fifty yotes and
every fraction over twenty five cast
for the Democratic candidate in each
county and oity, who received the
highest number of votes in the election
of 1895 for members of the General
Assembly.

Legislation on Silver,
| The following statements will correct
many erroneous notions in the minds
of many people:—
"In 1873 Congress, reforming the
coinage laws, dropped the dollar from
the list of silver coins, and provided
that 'the silver coins of the United
States shall be a legal tender at their
nominal value for any amount not ex
ceeding $5 in any one payment.'
"On the 28th of February, 1878, Con
gress directed "that there shall be
coined at the several mints of the
United States silver dollars of the
weight of 412 i grains Troy of standard
silver, as provided in the act of Janu
ary 18, 1837, on which shall be the de
vices and superscriptions provided by
said act; which coins, together with all
silver dollars heretofore coined by the
United States, of like weight and fine
uess, shall be a legal tender at their
nominal value for all debts and dues,
public and private, except where
otherwise expressly stipulated in the
contract."
"On the 9th of June, 1890, Congress
provided "that the present silver coins
of the United States of smaller denom
inations than $1 shall hereafter be a
legal tender in all sums not exceeding
$10 in full payment of all dues, public
and private.
"These citations from the laws make
certain two things; silver dollars are
an unlimited legal tender for all debts,
unless the contract expressly calls for
payment in gold; half-dollars, quarter
dollars and 10 cents pieces are a legal
tender for all debts in any amount not
over $10, no matter what the contract
calls for."
Congressman Turner Retires.—
Representative S. S. Turner, of the
seventh congressional district of Vir
ginia, has addressed au open letter to
his constituents declining to be a can
didate for renomination. He feels
certain, he says, that the district con
vention will adopt a platform "in favor
of the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to 1," a policy
that "would be ruinous to the best
interests of our people." "I could
I not," he continues, "defend it on the
! stump; for me to do so with my con
victioas would be hypocrisy, and a
consequent loss of my self-respect."
As the women threaten to invade ail
the walks of men's life, except that of
hard manual labor, it is no wonder that
both the Presbyterians and Methodists
have practically decided to keep them
out of their pulpits, upon the good
ground that St. Paul was right, and
that no warrant can be found iv the
Bible for preaching by women —Alex.
Gazette.
A Greek vessel loaded with war ma
terial for the Cretan insurgents has
Women Preachers.—The Presby
terians after discussing the question
long and learnedly, have come to the
solemn conclusion that no warrant can
'be found in Scripture for "preaching
by women." Not that there is any
special injunction against it, but that
one or two passages would have to be
reinterpreted if it were allowed.
The Methodists have also been con-J
Bidering the subject very gravely, and
have practically reached a like conclu
sion. In the judgment of both of these
religious bodies the sphere of man's
work is as wide as his opportunity and
he may properly do anything and
everything that needs to be done. The
sphere of women, however, is limited
by a kind of ecclesiastical barbed wire
fence. "That is to say, men can do as
they please, but women only have a
divine right to do what they are told
to do.
In curious contrast with this state of l
affairs stands tne Salvation Army.
Without its~Women it wouldn't amount
to very much. They make it effective
not only by means" of their mission
labors, but also by their special pleas
from the platform. Take the women
away, or seal their lips, and the army
would have to be disbanded before the
first frost comes. They may not be a
particularly scholarly body," and their
interpretations of the Greek or Hebrew
text would have to be taken with a
grain of salt, bnt when it comes to hard
work among the cripples of society,
then, like Abou Ben Adhem, they "lead
all the rest."
They would be very sorry to feel that
the Scripture does not sanction their
way of doing things, and perhaps, on
the whole, it doesn't.—2V. Y. Herald.
Currency a Side Issue
As the Index-Appeal says, the cur
rency question is an incidental and side
issue, and not a fundamental tenet of
democratic doctrine and faith, and in
the nature of things must be temporary
as a party question. We do not believe
that it will survive the present cam
paign as an issue in American politics.
This one thing is certain: the coming
presidential contest will be a campaign
of eduoation and it is not going too far
to say that there will be many changes
on the currency question among voters
on both sides who now imagine that
they have irreversibly made up their
uimds on the subject. This is a good
time to go slow abovit things relating
to parties and politics. Don't make
any rash declarations, and don't be
sure that you have made up your mind
until you have heard both sides—at
least until you have heard from Chica

The failure of the woman delegates
to obtain the recognition which they
expected from the national convention
of the prohibition party will not dis
courage them from making a determin-
Rsault upon the other national con
ions. There will be little, how
to encourage them at Chicago;
le democrats, though not wanting
urtesy toward the gentler sex, are
not disposed to go it strong for innova
tions upon the right of suffrage. But
the prospects of the strong minded wo
man suffragists are more promising at
St. Louis. Twenty years ago the na
tional convention of the republican
party went so far in that direction as
to say that the demands of the women
for suffrage were entitled to respectful
consideration. This year the republi
cans may give the movement as much
encouragement; but if is not likely that
they will be more specific. It would
seem, however, that the populists are
the most promising people to work on.
Woman's equality at the ballot box
was a popular idea with the Farmers'
Alliance, and the fad has descended to
the populist party as a legitimate heir
loom. If tlie women are making the
war for equal suffrage in good faith, we

Deafness Cannot be.Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies'
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed Deafness is the re
suit and unless the inflammation can
betaken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
desteoyed forever ; nine cases out of tea
are caused by catarrh, whi;;h is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mu
cous sufaces.
We will.give One Hundred Dollais for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars free.

Terrible Cyclone in Mexico.—
City of Mexico, June 11—Details of a
cyclone which devastated the town of
Topac. state of Jalisco, have just arriv
ed. It was accompanied by a water
spout that detached from the sides of
the mountains enormous masses of
rocks, and earth and mud were piled
up in the streets of the town to a
depth of eight feet, and in a number
of cases to the level of the lower
branches of trees, in which the in
habitants had climbed to escape the
in"ridation of water and mud. Three
fourths of the town was utterly de
stroyed. Thirteen bodies have been
taken out from under the mass of
earth, and more than thirty persons
are missing.
The platform adopted by the silverite
■vention recently held in Staunton
i a travesty on consistency as well as
locracy. It started out by declaring
that "we adhere to the principles of
the democracy announced by Jeffer
son," and wound up by adopting a
plank in favor of "the free and unlimit
ed coinage of both, gold and silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1 when tire commercial
value is about 32 to 1. Now here is
what Mr. Jefferson said on the subject
of ratio in coinage of gold and silver:
"Just principles will lead us to inquire
into the market price of gold in the
several countries with which we shall
be principally connected in commerce
and to take our average from them."
There is as much difference between
the democracy thus announced in Mr.
Jefferson's own words, and the de
mocracy of the Staunton platform as
there was between the real lion and
the ass with the lion's skin on.— lndex-
Appeal.
Religion vs. Politics.—The intro
duction of religion into politics is an
unwarrantable intrusion, and can only
be followed by deplorable results. To
divide the country numerically be
tween democrats and republicans is
beneficial, but to divide it between
Protestants and Catholics, or between
Methodists and Episcopalians would
be an irretrievable blunder. |
Keep religion out of politics and the
different parties and factions can con
test for prizes, and even quarrel with a j
kind of good nature; but if you allow j
religious«questions to enter the politi
cal arena, the temperament of the
voter is at once changed and a bitter
ness characterizes everything, which is
destructive of the best interests of
society.
The so called American Protective
Association has done almost everything
except to protect. Its sole purpose is
to stir up ill feeling against the Catho
lics, under the general plea that Prot
estants are so weak, or so cowardly,
or what not, that unless somebody
takes them in charge they will all be
swallowed up as the whale swallowed
Jonah.
Now, what is the consequence? It
does not need the son of a prophet to
tell what the consequence must inevi
tably be. It is that the Catholics,
exasperated and nagged, have conclud
ed to form an organization of their
own, secret or otherwise, and to meet
the A. P. A. on its own ground. You
can't blame them for doing that, foi it
is human nuture to repel an attack by
a counter attack.
Kd so we are indebted to a set of
; sighted men for the injection
politics of religious prejudices and
[icisms. and very slender gratitude
do they deserve.
There is only one rule in a country
like this —fight as much as you please,
either about religion or about politics;
let the merry war go on as long as you
feel the need of that kind of exercise,
but the man who mixes politics and
religion at the polls or in the primary
meetings is thereby doing the Republic
a serious Y. Herald.
Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef
forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts—
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so. many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why* It is tho only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value gdod health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
ail important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to cote when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
Mm the enjoyment of good health,
the system is regular, laxatives or
f remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with ;he
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
