IBB ITtl-iSIDKNTS SiaXATDKE. Today Is tho last day In which the provident may sign or veto tho t.-ir.ir bill. As has been tYispu-utly reported, it Is probable that he will In which event Hie bill will become a law at If oVIock tonight Diu-oig the last week the president has been sultjeoted to a great pressure from Hie leading men of tho party to sign the bill. They say to Mm that la the lK-udlng campaign they will ho called upon lo defend the new law,-as the chief outcome of Hie labors of the Demoemtlo congress, cud Hist they will lluil this task a difficult ono when taunted by IhWr opponents with the fact that the law is so bad an ono that the Democratic president refused to •Ciiu It. We do r»ot see that there la inutli force In this argument, l'he president’s opinion of the law has been stated in the most emphatic language, anil his condemnation of It will remain whether he signs It or not, to be tucil by the campaign speakers of the opposing par ty. His approval of tho bill now, In tlio face of that condemnation, would only give his nnd the parly's enemies an opportunity to accnxa him of incon sistency, "wont of sincerity, etc. As wo have slid before, ws believe there Is nothing for Democrat* to gain hi attempting to defend the faults awl defects of the law. Tho best thing to bo done Is to admit those faults and de fects, explain why tlio Democratic par ty was unable to prevtdit thelf presence In thebiw, and promise to correct them at the earthen possible nrsueni There Ig plenty of good In thu iawrto Justify Its rauie’nient, and the party ctra take Its stand oa this. The president's letter Is said to ;bo a club with wlileh lot enemies will brain the party. We do not tttUfrt It cult lie used for such a purpose, hut if It ran bo tho president's signs tore *o tho hill will not enable the party to dodge the blow. If, the letter Is Indeed n- club, we tlilfik It much more llkeiy to .reach tho bonds tor which it was Intended— thoso of the unfaithful Democrats who thwarted tho will of tlioir party—than that of tho party Itself. ' CAN Bf; HFAUKDr Tho name J. Hmuplou HAge mny be remembered ns that of tt Virginian who was appointed by Mr. Cleveland to an important consulate In Chinn, who, on his way to bis post, painted u broad red streak across tho continent, and who was caught by a telegram before ho could take ship at San Francisco de priving him of ills office. Then, of course, Col. J. Hampton Hoge was un derstood to he a first-rate Democrat, or lid would not havo been given Hie op- Ijjirtunlty to go upon so extended n spre-o at government expense, but now Ho Se a Republican mul has Just been nominated for oougress by a Republican convention. Wo are really very glad that Col. Hoge has changed bis party idleglnnce, as his doing so Indicates Umt even when lie was a consul nnd painted the streak he was not nt heart n Democrat. Tho Democratic parly Is the snuiu ns it was then, its principles, policy and History tho same—nothing Is changed except that It looks coldly on Col. Hogo as nn office seeker. The vast majority of Democrats arc not office seekers nnd :u tho nature of things very few of them can obtain office. Col. Hoge lias no right to com plain, therefore, if ho can't get nn office. Ho is with tho majority. That ho Is unable to reconcile himself to this slate of facts an<) prefers to give up bis belief In Democratic principles In favor of the shadowy chant), for office offered by u Republican nomination In a Vir ginia district shows that ho wus a Democrat only skin deep. Tho parly can spare him very well, mul probnbly tho Itopubllcnus havo llttlo to loso In taking him up. ON Till] RIGHT LINE. A North Ucorgta Opinion of MnJ. A. O.

"The Fopullst move ment/’ wild Gen. Evans, "had its origin nt a time of Democratic success. In 1830 things looked bright for Democratic success—that consummation so long wished for. Yet, at .this time, .sprang up a third party In the northwestern states. Thoso who framed it claimed that they were weary of Republican oppression and class legislation. But nt the same time declared they would not go Into tho Dem ocratic parly because Its views were too Southern to suit Western Ideas. If they saw evils In the Republican party, a. par ly Ions In power, why did they not join with too Democratic party, long out of power, in Its attempts to correct these evils? But they not only refused to aid us In our efforts tp reform, but'organised a third party here In the South, the home of Jeffersonian Democracy. In so doing they destroyed v ihat grand organization, the Alliance, whose original objects portended ho much good to the coun try, while we were In peace and unity— the third wirty came when victory seemed sure for I'jeinoeracy. Yet It camo and planted Itsotf. Had they put their forcea with ours In 1890 nil over the United States, wo would have had Democratic senators enough to have renedled all evils and redeemed all pledgee. But the ntw party did W do this. They came as obstructionist:*, jnot helpers. They came to dlvUhvund weaken, not to strengthen and solid!fy. Htuco no good can cpme to us at tho South for a party which comes to weaken us and not to strengthen us. If the promotion of the Southern interests Is In view, why not lei us pull together us tn tho past? Are wo stronger when di vided? Then, too, the theories of the third party are Impracticable. They some times call their views Jeffersonian vlowa. But Jefferson was a ***•«* o« their wild vagaries. Tho leaders <>*_the third i>arty propose an entire destruction ot our Uiwnclal system.

H. Field. A GHASTLY FIND. Bodies* of Several Confederates Found in an Old Cave. Parkersburg. W. Va„ Aug. 24.-Trout fishermen, who have been camping in the mountains of Clay county, mode a ghastly find a few days ago. Two of the campers were bunting about two miles from their camp on Big Syca more creek when they came across a b!g landslide that occurred some time ago. One of the men climbed down over a cliff to a flat place below and was astonished to find himself standing in front of a deep hollow cave, which extended under the cliff quite a distance. He entered ths opening and found an oil musket. The bayonet waa fixed on the gun. but the en tire concern waa almost destroyed by rust. Calling to his companion, he told .him what he had found, and he scrambled down to him. The men concluded to »x- amine the cave further bock and ascer tain, if possible, how the old gun got there, andi in order to do so safely tne made torches out ot the dry sticks which lay around them plentifully. They had not gone further than ten or twelve feet before they found themselves In an opening fifteen or twenty feet In diameter and from four to twelve - feet htffh. On tile shingle floor of thecave they found three skeleton?, enrapped in what must have been at one time uni forms. but which at that time was so rot ten that they crumbled Into pieces wnen touched. Two more guns and several pis tols of the old style muzzle-load ng vari ety, were ulso found, all of which were covered with thick coats of rust. Several coroded brats buttons were picked up, jome of which were marked with the letters U. S., while the others bad C. o. A. stamped on their lace. It Is believed some time during the war several Confederate soldiers with a fed eral prtsonerhod token posses.lon of the cave as a place of shelter and that while o sleep, perhaps, the surface earth above had slipped down and covered U P mouth of the cove, completely mvering them. This was probably the case, ns Uie ground showed Indications of « n ^d land- slide Nothing waa found on or about any erf the skeletons to identify any of the bodies, which were taken out of the cave and burled. for the populst nomination.

Don Cameron makes . a good enough senator for Pennsylvania protectionists, but as a candidate for president he is not to be oo-mpareid in any respect withl. Ben Tillman. South Carolina presents him. to tho country.

New York, Aug. 26.—The post week h.35 afforded a fair specimen of the eor*i of effects the end of “tariff SUs . P$ntf4 has In store for Waft ntreet. The feeling Is ifliaft x»f universal relief fro^ a universal obstruoMcn. The 'way has been opened to a resumpt'ibn of grade and enterprise in every direction, and in all ln'tererta there is a die petition to resume operations on sorartflilng Jp . Preaching a normal scale. Thera are no longer any great fears, nor any rea sons for tfmidfty overhanging tflhe mar- kets. In every 'branch of trade, blocks of merchandise are hi a starved cond.- tion, and the reasons which have for fifteen ntontha caused buyers to pur sue a policy of hand-to-mouth supply are disaippearlng. As a rule, prices of •merchandise ore unprece-dnetfedly Jjvv, * so tliat if the punchawing ability 0 f oonsumere -has bee a lessened t»h'a;t fiun. cuKy Is offset by a proportionate re duction in ithe costa of living and in •Uh-e amount of outlays at large. Credit* as & rule are in a sound and wholesome condition, «o tha)t the -raerchanic who desires to enlarge h1s- dto<ck and ex tend hla trade can lhave HJh6 needful time-facUltloj, and a»t exceptional./ low r-a'tes of interest. Those, conditions oentaUn-ly lay* the basis for a sound and healthy revival of business. There il« tii ithe fntrinwic 8»tato of affairs -Untie to suggest mis givings as itto 't/he future: there is. on the contrary, much cailcuftited to es-tab- J1»h oonfidentee da a oontinutoua, steady, ofcalble and - con'aervait'lve course- «.f trade. Tine country thus learned some serious lessons and liihereilore is dis posed to be isober, bult Ht is also very •hungry for more trade and' better profits, and' ts -therefore disposed ;a turn to active account every chUnce f«»r Improving *bbth. For the last four years the perception of coming (Stance fn our (tariff policy has had a more re pressing effect upon enterprise 'than is generally supposed, end 'the tact that •the Change has -alt fast dome prepared t)he way for miany tong postponed un- dierlOikiniga. The fact of the common oheafcmesa off materiaBs and of the quite general reduction of wages has a very direct tendency to invite revival io cer tain important branches of trade, espe cially those connected with) buiMing machine plarit, public lmprovemen-:s «a>nd rail road 3. How far the reduced scale of prices -and -the exemption of raw oifl'terMs from dirty may enable us to increase our export trade i mtains to “be seen; In the. meanUg ’however, it Is a hopefully slgnt' Caict th'ait last year’s reduction in 1 Wvals oHltenkled by «an increase i-n export's of $38,000,000, as compared; the year 1892-3. The recovery 'that now seems to setting in Is something broader than revival from the effect* of last yeai panic. That crisis, though immediate incident to the great silver flghit, et braced al«ft> the effects of the deeper d- rangements that set In with the grea Barrings suspension, and of which -tha failure was tout a symptom. Those rawgeanents -were largely In the oatu otf over production, over speculate over trading, and were world-wide their Influence, and their effects 6l ctoritlnue in*the persi«tent depression trade in every European nation. If tl recovery from these four years of ran- tion first makes Its appearance In tf United States, it is nothing more tha might toe expected from the greater re iliency of our resources and from th fact -that we have been less Intlm-atel oonneated with fthte dlstourtolng cause than have other countries. It Is reason- otoia to hope, however, that recovery on this side of the Atlantic will tend to stimulate improvement on the other side: and thus it may quite possibly happen than the foreign- markets, both commercial and financial, will respond to the Improving tendency In our town. The foregoing are the sort of condi tions and prospects that nre looming up to the vision of Wall Street observ ers. ant) it cannot be questioned* that they are pfifciucling a very decided Im pression upSn the confidence and ex pectation* of Investors and speculative operators. The ’’bears” have retired Into their lairs, and buying has extend ed toeybnd the Industrial stocks to which It has been so largely confined, and hno became -ganeral on the railroad list. From the number of new buyers that are appearing it seems likely that tho recovery may run into a considerable and sustained advance 4n prices, eveq beyond that which has been already realized. Thera Is a large amount bf idle funds lying around in all directions, for which ihe owners have not yet found permanent sources of employ ment; and this capital Is now coming Into the market for transient invest ment in securities which are considered good for a rise. This Is a solid source of support for the new tendency, and tt seems likely to be oontlnubd for si)me time—tbe more so because the in terest obtainable la other ways still continues unsatisfactory. Under the?e circumstances, we cannot heattnte to commend the market to our friends as one fiiVOrable for buying on all pro nounced reactions. Henry Clews. SPECIAL NOTICE 3. E. O. GombralL Chas. R.
