WE COMMEND the following to the
thoughtful attention of gentlemen and
ladies who don't believe in pork. 1t is from
the Kansas City Times:
The Hon. Levi p. Morton, minister ex-
traordinary and plenipotentiary to the
Republic of France, has.arrived Mt the seat
of government to which he is accredited
by the United States Government. He de-
clares his first business will be to endeavor
to induce the French government to re-
scind the embargo against American pork.
We wish our minister success, and think he
has fallen upon an opportune time to make
his representations France is carrying on
a war In Africa, and "sow-belly" is worth
more than cclat to the tired and hungry
army after long marches over inhospitable
deserts.
If Mr.. Levi P. Morton can discover any
excuse for being foreign minister at the
high salary implied, he is entitled to thu
sincere thanks of the taxpayers in the
country. They will appreciate it.

WITH THE convention of Straight-out Vir-
ginia Republicans, to be held at Lynchburg
on Wednesday next, the last platform and
programme of the triangular duel will have
been laid down and mapped out, The fun
will then commence in earnest, and the Old
Dominion be the scene of one of the most
bitter, hard-fought political battles in the
memory of man. 1t will be a general mix
ture, as people Of all classes and colors are
represented in the Readjustcr and Funder
parties, and the hostility between the two is
deep-seated and malignant.
1t is not improbable that, in the conven-
tion of Wednesday next a majority of the
Straight-out Republican members will be
found forming coalition with the Malone
party There will, however, be many who
are dead-set against Malone, and will cause
break in the convention if his friends are
determined to coalesce.

take to the trotting gait as naturally, or in
stinctiYely, as duck does to water, and it is
safe to say that not OF them was ever
foaled that could not, by reasonable train
ing, trot a mile in three minutes, or better.

The Alumni Exercise,

OF the EmpOria High school we1 held
at the Congregational chupH Friday
evening. The threatening Sspcct of the
weather doubtless interfered to great
extent with the attendance, but despite
this hindrance very fair audience as
sembled and attested their enjoyment
of the interesting occasion.
The invocation was pronounced by
Mr.. Rev. Kirby, of the n. Z. church,
after which a chorus of welcome was
sung by the two classes participating in
the exercises.
The welcome to the class OF 'S1 was
delivered, in behalf of the class of 80 by
Miss Nettie Smith, and was well timed
and appropriate. The response from the
class of 81, was made by Carrie Morse,
who acquitted herself with equal credit.
The Grafton, on ''Bones," by p. r.
Bennett, was an effort which bespoke
much research, and was at once novel
and instructive.
The poem on sour City Schools" by
Miss Jennie Edgerton, deserves the
highest praise and was certainly an
admirable piece of composition.
The address of Mr.. E. S. Waterbury,
set forth in q clear and able manner, the
benefits of the alumni organization and
abounded in excellent suggestions which
may be profitably considered by those
TO whom il was directed.
The program was pleasantly inter.
spersed by musical performances in
which Mrs. Chase, ON the piano, and
Miss Amy Vernon and John Henning
on the guitar, assisted.
Amer the exercises at the church the
members of the alumni adjourned to
the Hotel Coolidge where a delightful
sociaI,le was held, the enjoyment Of
which " As largely enhanced by tempt

and other delicacies.
The affair throughout was a hand
