We are sorry that it happened, in spite of all this chaff, we are quite too large for crying, and it hurts too bad to laugh.” Martinsville OetttnK Ready. Martinsville Reporter. The republican congressional nominating convention will meet here on Thursday. The hotel and boarding-house people here will that day have many guests, and these guests will be from every county in this congressional dis trict. Impressions, good or bad, will be made upon each person attending that convention, and he will speak of that impression when he returns home. Judicious treatment by the hotel people will do more to cause a good word to he said than anything else that can
be done.

A man in Alexandria wanted to stamp the eagle so hard at the late election that he took a hatchet and drove the stamp through the ballot and half way through the pine shelf before the election clerks could get to him. The people are powerfully in earnest this year about stamping the eagle. Thk Louisville Courier-Journal has came out against Breckinridge's renomination, and that just about settles the congressman's case. The Courier Journal is generally right on general matters, but its politics, of course, have been too democratic to be right; however, the paper has given some good political ad vice here lately. Thk New r York Sun is disgusted with the crowing of the democratic press over the election of Sorg to congress from the Third Ohio district, saying: The truth is that the democratic majority in the district has fallen olf from 4.11(3 to 1721. It has been more than cut in half. It has suffered a loas of sixty per cent. Congressman Sorg is a brand snatched from the burning. The result in the Third Ohio district is hardly less lamentably significant than was that in the Fourteenth and Fifteenth districts of New York three months ago.
Important Events at the Capital.—The l.atent News. Washington, May 7, 1894. The presence of 800 men camped for a week within the limits of the National Capitol, banded together under the name of an "army,” and threatening openly to remain until joined by a sufficient number of men to intimidate congress into granting the ridiculous demands of its self-appointed leader, tuid the circumstances attendant upon their coming and their stay here presents (piite as impressive an “object lesson” as the financial “object lesson” inaugurated by the Cleveland administration about this time last year, and unless tiie difference between liberty and license is more sharply defined may lead to quite as much misery. That a majority of the men that this man Coxey lias enticed into Washington and quartered in a pest hole from which he has moved Ids valuable horses for fear of their dying from the foul and malaria laden atmosphere are lazy,good-natured tramps, only intent upon avoiding work and being fed. is apparent by their refusal of work when ottered them, but it is equally apparent that this man Coxey means mischief should his force grow strong enough to make it, and the populist senators and representatives are doing all they can to encourage it. When this man Coxey and two of his followers were arrested for violating the law in their absurd attempt to speak from the steps of the Capitol, every populist in congress who could make any claim to being a lawyer appeared in the police court, nominally as their volunteer defenders, but in reality to intimidate that court. This is the third day of their trial, which ought not to have lasted more than an hour. The manner in which the old law, docking the pay of mem tiers of the house absent without leave, except on account of sickness, is being enforced is extremely farcical. The members are allowed to certify their own absence and the highest ntimberof duysthatany member has owned up to being absent was six, while any number of them who were absent at times during the month of April returned no certittcate <>f absenee and drew their full month’s pay. The speaker of the house, who tinder this law is reunited to O. K. the certificates of the members before they sre paid by the sergeant-at-arms, declines logo behind the returns made by the members, even if he lias actual knowledge of their incorrectness, thus leaving the matter entirely w ith the consciences of the members. Experience has proven that men's consciences are very much like rubber when questions arise nttecting their pocketbeoks. Sugar has certainly played a.star part in the tariff-tinkering farce comedy that has been going on in the senate for live weeks, and unless information that has been received fr m Louisiana is incorrect sugar is either going to get all of the flowers in the last act or is going to break up the show. Demands have been made upon Senators Gallery and Blanchard, of Louisiana, by the sugar planters of that state, that they repudiate the forty per cent ad valorem duty put on sugar by the present hill and demand a straight duty of two cents a pound—forty per cent is a fraction less than one cent a pound—and vote against the entire bill if the two cent duty is not put upon sugar. This is very embarrassing to the senators named, who have already in caucus agreed to support the bill as it stands. They are, it is said, given their choice of obeying the demand of the sugar planters or retiring from the senate. They both ho|d gubernatorial appointments, and the legislature that will meet on the 15th inst. w ill elect senators to fill both of the unexpired terms, as well as one for a full term. To fully understand the situation it must be remembered that the Louisiana legislature is said to he overwhelmingly in favor of a two cent duty on sugar, and that it has the power should Callery and Blanchard decline to fight for it to send, within fortyeight hours after its meeting, as their successors men who will. It must not he forgotten, either, that with the votes of the two Louisiana senators and that of Hill of N. Y., cast against the taritf bill, even if there are no more democratic defections, that measure will be
killed.

Ho! for Martiimvillr!. Putnam county republicans will leave here tomorrow for the con gressional convention at Martins ville, in the afternoon. Putnam republicans go this year in a different style from some trips they have made. It is in the memory of most of us when the republicans of Putnam would send two delegations to the district convention and a split delegation was the result and the return would be made with no results. The Bannbk Timks extends to our democratic friends an invitation to cast their eyes over the delegation that leaves tomorrow for Martinsville and find any dissatis faction. The party is united and will this year step before the district not as a quarreling crowd hut as a united solid delegation backing our candidate. Putnam should takeai good number tomorrow to Martinsville. The trip may be easily and cheaply made and Martinsville is one of the prettiest and most hospitable little cities in the state. The great interests at stake this year lead many to take the trip who otherwise would not go. Go along with the crowd and fight for Putnam from first to last. The railroad rate will be low.

The room hud just been handsomely papered and painted, and the loss will amount to near $50.

All the talk about the college now is the interstate contest. Both railroads are working hard to get the largest crowd. The Big Four has captured Mr. Dimmitt, and he will go on their excursion ; so will the ball team. A very exciting game of ball was played yesterday afternoon at the hall park by the preachers and lawyers. Seven innings were played, and the lawyers came out victorious with the score of 9 to 1 Likely and Church were the hat tery for the lawyers, and Hankins and Ennis for the preachers. Sev eral line double plays were made. Likely and Kuckclshaus each made a t wo-base hit. The whole college and many citizens should attend the contest at Indianapolis on Thursday. Mr. Dimmitt will win, and we all should be there to have a glorious jollification after the decision is read. A cheap rate of eighty cents has been secured on each road, and the trains leave about one o’clock. The following was sung at chapel today by the lawyers: The thooliiKtnw ail w*-nt out to play liall. When the lawyers nave the lion call; And after the name you should have heard the squall. They will never play hall any more. CHORUS. Tne tlieolonues, the theolonues. They can preach and slnn and Pray and roar. But they will never play ball any more. It made one Liinls rip and (ear. And old Jerry Simpson pull his hair To see the theolonues fan the air.
