Legislative.

The Governor has approved the electoral
law. 1t is but reenactment of the old
law under which judges of election are APP
pointed by county and city judges.
Senate bill authorizing the Board OF Su-
perviSOrS OF the county of Smyth to issue
bonds to the amount of $50. G00for the pur-
chase of land for the site of the Southwest
ern Lunatic Asylum, was, under u suspen-
sion OF the rules, taken up out of its order
and passed. sr saf1
The bill to amend the charter of Bridge
water was passed.
On Friday the new Republican member
OF the House, Mr.. McCandlish, OF the Pc
terSburg district was sworn in.
On Monday last the session of the Legis-
lature was pretty much consumed in the
discussion of bills making appropriations
to the Asylums. Charges were made by
Democratic members that the Asylulns,
under new Democratic management were
squandering funds, and in two distinct in
stances the members of boards were
charged with drunkenness.
MI. Barton offered a resolution provid-
ing that it shall not be lawful for the au-
thorities of the Asylums to furnish men,
bers of the boards with whiskey from the
asylum funds.
The reckless management of the Eastern
Asylum, has ever diSguSted the Democrats,
and the Norfolk Landmarks and other pa
pers are calling for an investigation.
The Legislature adjourned on the 9th
to reassemble Oct. %. For what purpose
the recess is ordered, we cannot say. But
we know it will call for loud and deep
condemnation from the people.
A committee was appointed by the
Legislature to investigate. the condition
OF the Lunatic Asylums of the State.
Mr.. Barton reflected seriously on the
management Of the Western Lunatic Asy-
lums, when Il bill was up asking for
$4,000. He said the old management had
left the institution bulky with provisions
of all kind, and that the amount asked for
was unnecessary.

Drouth in the Ohio Valley.

A dispatch from Cincinnati, of recent
date, deals with the destructive effects of
the drouth in the Ohio Valley as follows
Before July 3 the wheat, oats and hay
crops had been thoroughly matured, and,
in consequence of fair weather, they were
saved in excellent state. Corn and other
late crops are suffering extremely now.
Even favorable weather from this time on
could do little to repair the damage to
corn. 1t is impossible to gauge accurately
the damage already done to the corn crop
in the region affected by the drought,
though it may be safe to estimate that the
corn will not under the most favorable cir
cumStanceS average more than third of
an average crop. Should the dry weather
continue, the result to corn will be very
like that in the case Of a similar drought
which affected Southern Illinois and South
ern Indiana two years ago. Other field
and garden crops, though seriously in
iured, are not beyond hope of recupera-
ti0n should favorable weather set in soon.
The region affected lies along the Ohio
River, extending up and down that stream
about $50 miles in opposite directions from
Cincinnati, and includes a strip of coun-
try over 100 miles wide, which makes an
area one-fourth greater than that of the
whole State of Ohio. Outside Of this re-
gion in all directions, seasonable rains have
fallen. Within the region affected, pas
lures are dried up and the fields are dusty.
Small streams have gone dry and in many
places water not only for stock but for do
nestle purposes is becoming scarce, and is
growing daily more difficult to obtain.
Farmers are dispirited. The drought
covers in it's effects the great tobacco-rais-
ing region of Kentucky, Ohio. and In
diana, and has already seriously Injured
that crop.

Cleveland and Hendricks.

We publish on the first page of the VIR-
GTNTAN< to-day, the letters Of Grover
Cleveland and Thomas "A. Hendricks, ac-
cepting the nominations for President and
Vice President respectively Of the Demo
cratic party. Mr.. Hendricks pretends to
nothing in what he says ON the occasion,
save to accept the nomination and endorse
the platform. In this latter he condemns
himself in the matter of land grants
When the Democratic platform arraigns
the Republican party for voting grants to
Railroads, it arraigns Mr.. Hendricks, also.
as he voted for 81 bills involving 81, 600, 900
acres Of lands to aid in the construction of
railroads. M enar euff43
Mr.. Cleveland's letter is the weakest
paper ever sent to the country from a
Presidential candidate. He expresses an
opinion on none of the great controverted
administrative questions, and virtually
admits that he would. as President, have
no opinion outside of the caucus declara-
tion of his party. He is silent on the tar
Tiff. He has not word to say about polyg
amy. He passes by the foreign relations
and policy Of the government. He courts
the whiskey power, and the labor infiu-
ence, yet his administration and vetoes as
Governor of New York. were in direct N
tagonism to his commonplace remarks on
this latter subject.
The letter of Mr.. Cleveland furnishes
no evidence that he would be equal to the
duties of President of the United States.
and certainly he has no record to justify
the conclusion that it does not embrace all
the statesmahship he understands. 1t is a
common place, subseryient, weak produc-
tion, and is not entitled to the dignity
even of being criticised.
Contrast it with the stately. broad, in
spring and grand presentations of MI.
Blaine! The two letters are represent
tatiye Of the two men. That of Mr.. Blaine
shows familiarity with all the great ques-
tions now interesting the American peo-
pie. That of Mr.. Cleveland falls below
mediocrity, and exhibits a poverty Of
thought and complete absence of sugges-
tion, that cannot fail to attract attention
and merit disgust.

Hon. VIM. Mines, proprietor OF the
Gem Furnace, Page county, was in the
city yesterday. He has voted the Demo-
cratic ticket ever since he has resided in
Virginia, coming here Immediately after
the war. Since then he has been one of
the largest manufacturers of iron in the
State, and last year completed his splendid
new furnace, called the Gem. He will,
we understand, in this contest, support
Blaine and Logan. In speech delivered
at the furnace, few days ago, 1t is re-
ported to us, he said to his hands: / de-
pend on you to run the furnace and you
depend on me to furnish the means to sup
port yourselves and families. If you vote
the Democratic ticket, you vote to close
this furnace, for under the free-trade OF
tariff for revenue only policy of the Dem
ocratic party foreign ores can be brought
here cheaper than you can dig them out of
the mines on the premises.
1t was practical argument, one which
applies to every furnace property in the
State, and it is needless to say will have it's
effect in the coming election.
Mr.. Mines is a gentleman of ability, and
large business capacities, and conscientious
in everything he does. His influence is
great, and will be felt all through the Val
ley.

The San Francisco Evening Post, of the
18th, publishes statement from Mrs.
Able L. Marble, employed in the San
Francisco Postoffice, and a sister of Mrs.
J. G. Blaine, denying the published ac-
counts that Mrs. Blaine's father forced
Blaine, at the muzzle of shotgun, to
marry her. Mrs. Marble says the circum-
stance was simply impossible, as her father
died in January, 1916, and never knew or
saw Blaine, and it was not till six years
after his death that her sister. Miss STAN
wood, now Mrs. Blaine, saw Mr.. Blaine
for the first time.
This disposes effectually of the dramatic
story about the ''muzzle of the shotgun
so industriously circulated in this com
munity and elsewhere, in whispers, before
Mr.. Blame brought the editor of the In
dianapolis Sentinel up standing to face the
music of libel suit and criminal prosecu-
ton.
