Tho Plover Lode.

The title to this location was in controver-
sy in the case of John G. Belk against Salton
Cameron, Charles S. Warren and others, in
the District Court. which vas decided yester-
day morning in favor of the defendants.
About 9 a. m, Judge GalbraiLh charged the
jury and sent them to their room to dsliber-
ate, but they did not remain ont very long.
Part of his charge vas to the effect that there
nothing in the laws Of Montana which
declared a location invalid unless a%:.notice
was posted, and that the PLAINTIFF would have
to prove a special local custom to that effect
before they could fnd against the defendants
on that goruud. The jury returned about 10
o'clock aud submitted their verdict by Nj.
chsel Grace, foreman, in favor Of the dsfen-
dants.
They were discharged for the time from
further service.
Ths facts of this controversy seem to show
that the plaintiff attempted 4 location Of the
Plover lode, which is about a thousand feet
north Of the Alice, some Eve years subse.
Quent to the location claimed to have beef
made by the defendants. The verdict of the
jury confirms title in defendants.

If there is q man in Virginia who be-
lieves that the Riddleberger bill will
settle the State debt he Is either def
cient in natural understanding or has
neither heard nor read anything that
has been said or written about that bill,
though 1t has been discussed up to and
beyond the nauseating point. That bill
provides that the States creditors shall
surrender bonds, the principal and in
terest of which are secured by decisions
of the highest court in Virginia and
the highest court in the United States,
and accept therefor accrued bonds for
two thirds Of their amount. Now the
fact that q man holds Virginia bond
is no proof that he Is utterly devoid of
common sense, and yet q bondholder
who would agree to such q settlement
should be taken charge of by his friends.
Therefore should the Riddleberger bill
become law it cannot be executed,
and its only effect will be to put the
State to large and unnecessary legal ex-
pense, and to continue for an indefinite
period the existing squabbie about the
State debt and the consequent injuries
to every Virginia interest. Alexandria

WHAT A FRENCH REPORTER DID,
The French newspaper and reporter are
not usually held in high esteem in the
sphere of journalism, at least. in regard
to their enterprise and usefulness as
news distributors. But an account of q
Partisan reporters enterprise in the
Tropmann murder case, which occurred
years ago. describes feat not often sur
passed in this country. The reporter
leaving Paris for Cernoy, where the
father of Tropmann resided, and pre-
tending to be Partisan legal official,
had old Tropmann brought before him,
ascertained by cross questioning that
the son had written to him the day be-
fore: ordered the letters, which con-
tanned full evidence of the sons guilt,
to be brought before him /; copied them,
gave the originals in charge Of the JUS
tice of the Peace; invited two other res
porters just arrived to dine with him
excused himself moment, boarded a.
freight train; caught an express train
at the next junction arrived at the of
fee about midnight; had the first reset
with his report; and had the pleasure
of seeing so, 900 copies of the paper sold
the next morning. The two reporters
whom he left at dinner did not arrive
in Paris until the next day.

WHICH is RIaHT?-We commend
this concise statement of the debt ques,
ton from the Big Lick Nes0s to our rea.

sit is required by the Constitution Of
Virginia that each Legislature shall
publish statement of the debtswith its
Acts of Assembly. The same Legisla-
ture whichIdeclared they, would only pay
SIS, 665 .196, stated under their oaths. in
obedience to the Constitution, that the
principal of the debt was $29, 1857 .304. rs.
Auditor Massey also made report for
the year ending September 80, 1880, in
which he stated that the "debt proper"
was $29,6S5 1898. The slight difference
in figures being due to the operation of
the Sinking Fund, etc.. From this 1T is
evident that the Legislature perjured
itself, and the Auditor was false to his

sus as their Savior, she finished her
diatribe by saying: "How different
would have been his reception had he
appeared in our time! How delighted
we should all be to throw our doors open
to HiE, and listen to His divine pre-
cepts! Don't you think 30. Mr.. Csr-

thus appealed to, said in his broadcast
Scotch accent: mo, madam, don't.

money and good recommendations, and

if he had come denouncing those aris~

Capt. John Wise one of General Ma.
homes captains, 1--WE wonder what his
father would say if he were alive and
knew that his son was subaltern to Ma
hone) unlike Captain Blair, doesn't de-
ny authenticity of his letters. He has
fallen into shocking bad company, to be
sure, but his blood would revolt at the
idea of denying the authorship of q
word he had ever written. Well, few
short months ago he wrote letter in
which he said -
IA large proportion of the white Re-
publican vote in Virginia has been made
up of men who were not Republicans
from principle, but as matter of trade
and barter; men without character and
apostates for the price Of their
apOstacy men utterly worthless in q
community, who would starve without
office and whose tenure of office not on
ly added no strength to the party, but
brought it into disrepute and turned re-
spectacle men away from it."
This is just what Capt. John Wise
thought Of Virginia republicans short
time ago, and the only thing they have
done since to change his opinion of
them, has been to desert their principles
and their party organization and sup.
port repudiating democratic scalawag
in order that they may obtain offices or
retain those already in their possession.
There are some republicans in the State
who are convinced that such principles
as their party profess are the best for the
State as well as for the nation, they are
honest and conscientious in their belief,
and they respect themselves and are re-
spected by their democratic neighbors.
Such men will not renounce their con-
victions at the bidding of their selfish.
office-seeking leaders. Those who do
will only strengthen and confirm the
opinion Captain Wise entertains Of
them.
