Milton Mobiles.

Last night Mr.. Milton Mobiles, supported
by Miss Dollie Mobiles and a very good dra-
matte company, appeared at Leubrie's The
alter 10 a comedy called Interviews, written BY
Mr.. Mobiles himself. The play is, of course,
light, but it is full of snap and sparkle,
and it serves very we'll to display
Mr.. Nobles's talents as we'll as the ability OF
the balance of the cast In this play the
chief character is a wide awake, imaginative
newspaper man. OF course the ludicrous
side of journalism is greatly exaggerated,
and though the reporter helps himself 10

m FRIED TO Miss Maggie L. Daneri, by the
Rev. Father Veale. There was very large
number of the members OF the families and
of the friends of the fair bride and the
groom present, and the ceremonies of vener-
able mother church vera followed BY the con-
graiulations Of joyous throng, who could not
give utterance to half the good wishes that
welled up in their hearts for the happy
couple Mr.. Crosby is the promising and
modest young sculptor whose work has chal-
lenged the attention and approval OF criti-
cal people the past few yesrs, aud We are
sure that this announcement of his mar
rage will call from the wider circle Of the
public to whom his work has made him
known as much OF good wish and will as last
night was expressed by all who were pres-
ent at the ceremonies. The APPEAL, which
has followed Mr.. Crosby with more than or
binary interest, sends its best wishes for the
future of himself and his bride, and we espe-
cially congratulate her on the possession Of
a husband who is worthy of her and whose
course thus far Indicates for both q content
ed, happy and prosperous life.

Colorado Letters.

With this issue of the VIRGINIAN we
commence the publication of a series of
Illustrated letters descriptive of that land
SO rich in natural beauty and material
wealth called Colorado. The writer is
Virginia lady whose interesting con-
trlbutions have before been presented
through these columns to our readers.
The letters will be found full of sug-
gestlve ideas, rare word paintings and val
liable information. and we commend their
careful perusal to our many patrons.
Now, that the election is over and for a
time, at least, little respite will be had
from political agitation, we propose to
make the VIRGINIAN more interesting to
the general reader than it has been during
The heat of the campaign. To this end
we shall spare neither trouble nor expense
IN presenting paper which will be well
come to all classes of society and instruct
and entertain those into whose hands it
may fall. Besides the news, local and gen.
eral, with editorial comments on all mat
ters OF more than passing interest, we
have arranged for number of letters and
instructive articles on various topics,
which from time to time will appear and
cannot fail to prove profitable to those
who read them.
We ask the friends of the paper in every
nelghborhood to aid in extending it's circu-
latlon. We propose to give them more
than the worth of their money and to
make the VlRGINIAN a necessity to every
it enters.

Democratic Troubles.


The troubles of the Democracy are just
beginning to manifest themselves. In the
contest for Speaker Of the House of Rep
resentatives now going on, the tariff and
the Southern questions are looming UP and
having their share in shaping the chances
of the various aspirants. 1t is known that
Randall fayors a protective tariff and is
opposed to disturbing the compromise
measure passed at the last session of Con-
gress. Carlisle, his most formidable OPP
ponent, Cox and Springer are free traders.
and from indications thus far the forces
are nearly equally divided. The friends of
Randall, too, are intimating that il is no
time for the South to be demanding re-
cognition in the position of Speaker, as
the Northern mind is not at rest on the
Southern question. because of the occur
rences in Virginia and Mississippi at the
November election. 1t is assumed by the
supporters of Randall that the election of
Carlisle, OF any free trader, would offend
the business interests of the country, as it
would mean agitation of the tariff ques-
ton during the session of Congress, and
that would be fatal to the Democratic
party in 1884. The friends of Carlisle
scout this conclusion. They assert that
they have been doing the voting long
enough-having stood in the background
and allowed the Northern Democracy to
regulate matters, always to be followed by
defeat in the national contest. They ex-
press discomfort with this, and boldly avow
their purpose to press for proper and prac-
tical recognition. They believe. too, that
there should be change in the tariff laws,
to make them more nearly conform to.the
free trade notions of the Democracy, and
that this issue should be the controlling
one in the next campaign. They claim
that if there should be no agitation of the
tariff question, the Southern question
will be made prominent and the solid
North confront the solid South. With
that issue presented, the North might be
divided, the South kept solid, and success
to the Democratic nominees be the re-
suit.
Viewed in any way, the situation is I'M
promising to our Democratic friends. If
they agitate the tariff question they will
make solid North because of business
Any proposition to dis
turb the basis of our industries will ex-
cite the fears and crystalize the influence
Of the capital and business of the country
against the party that favors it. If they
avowed that, they will have to explain the
necessity of solid South, as it affects the
material interests of the country. and ex-
pose the means by which the South is
made solid. In doing this they will ex-
cite the distrust, and offend the sectional
pride of the North. In either condition a
solid North is promised and an indefinite
postponement Of Democratic control of
the government.
These are only some of the troubles of
5he Democracy-to be multiplied and ag-
in the campaign of next year.
But they are enough to impress the public
With the false hopes of Democratic success
n 1884.
