BETWEEN IeathY)f Dr. T. If. Kinney. A dispatch dated at Newport News February 20, gives the following particulars of the death of Dr.

Thos. H. Kinuey: "Dr. II. Kinney, a well known physician of this city, dropped dead yesterday 'morning at 10 cj'clock.

The doctor had been called to attend a sick man nt the Jefferson House, in the upper part of town. After examining his patient'-he' took a seat in the chamber and conversed for several minutes. It was observed that when he arose to leave the house he staggered and one of the Iersons present hastened to his assistance. But for this the doctor would have fallen to the floor. Dr.

Joseph Charles was summoned, but before he arrived Dr. Kinney expired. The cause of death was heart disease. Dr. Kinney came here about two 3'ears ago from Staunton, and had Great Stock Reduction Sale Crafcsville Items.

The firm is well known In Staunton, where-It lias had numerous contracts, some of Itepubliean Organization Editor Yost's Wkkki.y:! -From, the prevent outlook of tiie political sphere, seems to tie a Ioyd call from all parts of the country, and especially rroni Virginia, for the friends of the American nation to rally to the standard of the American people, for thesake of America's homes and Industries.

Our land of prosperity has been auctioned off. The rich mines of our mountains and valleys, as well as the industries of our agriculturists, with the whole of the many manufacturing interests of these United States have been under the hammer of auctioneer Wilson and knocked out to: nations beyond the mighty waters and north of the great lakes. At the consummation of the great national vendue, the athletic renre- 1 sen tative from the Tenth district of Virginia hastened to assume the avocation of Balaam's beast and hoisted his master aloft "over the downfall of his country; or like unto that of the old Virginia negro in olden time, "totin' his cap'n 'round de eo'n pile." With millions of our fellow-citizens starving for bread in a country teeming with wheat at fifty cents a bushel is a phenomenon. never before wit nessed on the American continent When the hammer of the auctioneer was uplirted, terror struck tt the vi tals of the grand American system of progress and thus parah-zed the nation. Shall these demi-patriots go further in their gymnastical hallucinations? Humanity answers no.

There are enough "toters" 'round and playing mule's parent. History teaches us that the Roman Senators sat smiling, while the temple ot liberty was crumbling over their heads. Shall we not take warning and avert the calamity? The condition of our country -demands that every friend of American industry and development should arou.se from his lethargy and see that the law-makers tf this country are the friends of America and American interest. And as the last thirty years have conclusively proven that of all parties the Republican has no equal in helping the masses or in administering the government advan tageously for the great diversified industries of our country, today millions of people are looking to this great national party to deliver them from the national calamity that hanjrs over them. In Virginia especially are there rea.t demands upon the party of protection.

Therefore every Republican chair-nan, in every county of the State, hould call his committee together devise plans for the marshaling of the grand army of protection when he time conies to advance. If it be advisable to hold a. State onvention, let it be done. If not, let each Congressional district act separately for themselves, but by all means have a candidate in every dis trict. As to the Tenth, there are already four candidates before the people J.

What particular grudge has Delegate Nelson, of Winchester, against Staunton, that he should proclaim in the hall of the house of delegates that his native city Is the einly community In the commonwealth whose Inhabitants have not sense enough to manage their own affairs?

The Comity Election Uoarel. Editor Vindicator: Knowing you as I do, and believing thut you are always willing to se'e justice done to every one, I write you this letter for publication. I see published in the Richmond papers Saturday, Feb. 17th a list, of the Electoral Boards of the various counties of the State.

For the county of Augusta Messrs. W. F. Smith, J. R.

Kemper and S. H. McCue an admirable commission, but what I want to know Mr. Editor, is why it was that my head was chopped off. I suppose the "powers that be" have a right to do as they choose in the matter, to lenitive one with or without cause.

Understand me, I do not regret that I was not re-appointed; 1 do not want the office. Had I been removes by the Republican party the matter would be plain, but as it was done. I suppose, by the Democratic County Committee or the members of the Legislature, I do not comprehend it and I desire, and (I believe I have the right to) demand the cause of 1113- removal. I have to be perfectly frank, for I have nothing to conceal, and I desire the responsible parties to trea me in the same manner. I have always voted the Democratic ticket, and the only offence I remember ever having committed was.

to scratch Mr. Echols' name from the ticket last November. I did not try to conceal my intention, I did it delibrately, and if this was the "unpardonable sin" and the cause of my removal, I am responsible for my action. I think I know my rights in the party, and will not be bulldozed. Those that know me, know that I am not quick fo give offence, or slow to strike back when I believe I am badly treated, so I and my friends want this matter explained to the public.

I am Most respectfully yours, C. BEXTOX CoiMvlf. Fishersville, Feb. Capt. Coiner is one of the most intelligent, public-spirited and influential Democrats in the county.

The offense he has committed is in not allowing the Staunton bosses to do his thinking and keep his conscience for him. The audacious impudence nnd egotism of this ring have been manifested on many occasionabut never more conspicuously than in the last November election. Many I)em--ocrats revolted against it then and votetl against the regular Democratic ticket because of the assumed lead ership of the party. They will do so again, and in even larger numbers. No freedom of opinion or liberty of action is tolerated by the bosses.

They assume to hold the reins and the lash, and when there is re sistance or protest, they appeal to the party guillotine. if this Captain Coiner is a victim. The people of the county can crush out the ring if they wish to do so, and their self- respect ought to compel them to use their pover and influence to let the world know tnat tney are not xne slaves of any self-constituted oligarchy.

Carter were adopted: "Whereas the business interests of the county are greatly expressed, the extreme low prices of the products eif labeir, the slow collection of bills due, and par- cularly the very low prices of the proelucts of the soil, ami the great scarify of money. Resolved therefore that we hereby express our thanks to the House ef Delegates for so promptly passing the bill offered by our wide-awake Delegate, Mr.

Koiner, extend ing the time until April 1st for the cedlectiem of taxes (due December 1st, 1893), before imposing the penal ty of live pet centum, and Resolved further that we express our dissatisfaction in the action of the State Senate in defeating said 1 1 and hereby express our opinion that the Senate of Virginia has not shown an inclination to give that relief to a burdened people they had the power to give. "Resolved further, that we look with alarm at the action of the Leg- slature in passing the charter with such unlimited powers as was given to the ltichmond Danville K. It. Co. "Resolved further, that we call up on the General Assembly tif Virginia to anticipate the reduction inthe as sessed values for property for taxation in the near future, and to cur tail the expenses of our State (Jov- ernment accordingly.

"Kesolved further, that on the account of the prices, many tf the products of the soil being below the cost of production, that the farmers cannot stand the present rate of tax ation, anel appeal to the (leneral Assembly to devise some measures of relief." i Short and Pointed. The Manufacturers' Record, of the 23d, ceintains the following short and pointed letter from Capt. J. E. Johnson, general manager of Long- dale furnace, to Thos.

P. Grasty, the Washington correspondent of the Recorel. Capt. Johnson comes down to business and uses no strategy in trying to whip the elevll around the stump. He says: Dear Sir Your laVor of February 12 received.

We are aware that the Manufacturers' Record has been making a fight in behalf of the man ufacturers, more especially in the South. Unfortunately, it began to fight a year too late. The time to have fought the Wilson bill was at the polls In 1S92. This writer is prepared to endure whatever hardship the iniquitous bill may Inflict; the greater the hardship now, the better it will be in the future. Our only hope for peace is in the total defeat of the 'Democratic party.

Prospects for this seem good, and as things are about as bad as they can be In a bus iness way. It is better to endure It to the end and take what comes. Trust ingthat the election in November will show that the people have had enough "change." I am, Yours very truly, J. E. Johnson, Manager.
