While much may be said In favor Of
the Gold Hill method Of conducting mu.
nicipal elsctions--that Is. the election OF
town officers without reference to their
political opinions-still there Is one
objection to the method which nearly
balances all Its good points. We alluds
to the feelings OF political apathy which
the method tends to produce IN the
minds Of our citizens. We hold that
occasional agitation OF political matters
IL az necessary to the welfare OF . com.
munity as is the agitation Of the water
We drink--stagnation causing In both
cases disease and perhaps death. As an
example OF the spathstic feeling now
p~ervsding this community We may say
that the Office OF Town Treasurer. to be

POLITICAL MATTERS IN VIRGINIA.
Mr.. Curris's Chances for Election
Discussed Friends OF the Late
Governor Bradley Indignant.

Tho political pot 10 now boiling fun.

ing the chances Of success Of this or that
candidate. The latest sensation there
Is the published card Of Mr.. Graham.
the defeated candidate before the recent
City Democratic Convention for the
responsible position Of City Attorney.
However numerous and weighty Mr..
Graham's reasons for the publication Of
his card may bean, many Democrats
consider his course In the matter very
unwise. He Is q young man, say they,
and can we'll afford to bide his time.
The dissatisfaction pervading the
Democratic party Of Virginia with the
nomination Of Mr.. Currie Is spreading
through the ranks like wildfre. As the
friends Of the late Governor Bradley
learn that Mr.. Currie worked against
"the old man " during the last State
campaign. their indignation becomes
intense, and almost with one voice they
exclaim : swell line him. and "give
him o dose OF his own medicine" Trad.
ing of Mr.. Currie for other candidates
will also tell strongly against him. And.
a. said before In these columns. the
friends Of Stonshill and Moore feel
relieved from all obligations to support
Currie because OF tho fact that Curris
did not receive . majority 81 the votes
OF the Convention.

Relief Called For.

81. Louis. April 28.-The Merchants
Exchange Relief Committee has issued
an address to the charitably disposed
people, setting forth that the recent
Missouri Cyclone has brought death and
ruin to hundreds Of families, wasted
many growing towns, and that recent
adyices OF the committee show the de.
struotion TO be more fearful than pen
can picture. Two eminent men. who
have been on . tour Of observation, say
that half has not been told. The James
river storm began about IS miles west
Of Springfield, gradually increased In
size and power until Il attained q width
of 200 feet for Q distance OF 40 miles.
Il cut an unbroksn svsth from 1900 70
1000 feet wide. Men, women and chill.
dren were killed or crippled; horses and
cattle were In o similar condition;
dwellings, fences and outhouses
were not only lsvslsd but blown
away; plows, wagons, reapers and other
farming implements are reduced TO scrap
irsn and kindling wood. and In many
cases fields With growing crops are 90
covered with forest debris or with mud
or sand, that much additional labor will
bs required to rave what has been
planted. No houses or barns were left
standing In the track OF the storm. and
farmers are left without houses or i'm.
plements to carry on their farms. Simi.
lar reports come from many other
sources, and the demands upon the peo-
pie for assistance are very urgent. st.
