RADICAL MOVEMENTS THE Washington
Chronicle states that the Virginia State Radl-
cal Central Committee, met in Richmond on
Thursday, to make preparations for the fall
political campaign An address is shortly to
be issued. 1t is added that "the matter OF
Federal appointments in the State was tho
roughly investigated by the committee, and 1t
was ascertained that from various causes there
are many grounds Of complaint from every
quarter of the State, which it proposes, if pos
sible, to have removed. Some members
thought the only means by which this end
could be accomplished would be through the
fundamentally ola State convention and the
were others who did mot consider that the ends
desired could be arrived at in that way, and reor-
ganizatiou of the State committee, while there
that the consequent venture would not there
fore justify the means wherefore, the propo-
sition to hold State Convention was abandon
ed, the objects desired will be sought in anoth-
er direction" There federal appointments
appear to be constant source Of dissatlstac-
ton to be leaders Of the party.

The Washington correspondent of the Balti-
more Gazette states that part Of the Virginia
Congressional delegation in Congress, headed
by Senator Lewis and Representative Platte,
we're with the Secretary of the Interior and
the Commissioner of Pensions yesterday, asking
modification of the regulations for obtaining
pensions under the act providing for pensions
for service in the war Of 1872, in Southern
States BY the act and regulations Hereunder,
claimant is not on y required to show that he
was loyal during the late war, but his two
witnesses to prove his loyalty must show that
they were also loyal during the war This
latter requistion is regarded by the Virginia
delegation as hardship and an unnecessary
requirement, and they ask that that part Of
be modified by the Commissioner of Pensions.

The Landowners OF ENGLAND
There are about thirty THOUSAND midtown
ers in all England, aud one hundred and
fifty of these own more than one-half Of
the territorial surface Of the country.
No wonder tina: the people should feel
this as grievance. 1t may be true that
the few owners came honestly by their
lands that in their hands it is we'll cult
waited and is made to yield as much as it
would if the owners were more numerous,
still it seems unnatural that out of a popu-
lation of say twcnty.millions ouly thirty
thousand should own land, and that one
hundred and fifty should own one-half Of
all If few men may own the whole ter.
ritory Of country, Why may not one man!
And yet in this day it would not be tolera-
ted that whole country pcopled by many
millions should be the property Of a single
man. Nor is it likely that the ownership
Of whole country by few men will much
longer be tolerated
Il is the ambition Of every man to have a
homestead house and land sufficient to
yield a support. As men prosper in their
business, whatever it may be, they aim at
this. They desire 20 have a home and a
farm -somcthing real, solid and perma.
nent-a place to retire to towards the close
Of life, and that may be counted upon as
being beyond ordinary contingencies and
accidents. -Rirhmond Win.

Six years ago the difference was the other
