The colored people of Virginia are naturally
 much stirred up by statement made in the
 evidence given by Congressman John s. Wise 1 before the Sherman committee investigating | the Danville riot. Mir. Wise is reported to | have said: ''When coIored members of the Vir- ginia legislature come to my house to consult me, they always go to the kitchen" This was a queer remark for Mir. Wise to make, for he owes his election to Congress princi- pally to the support of the colored voters, ! who gave him more than three-ffths of all the votes cast for him. In the Virginia House of Delegates Wednesday five colored
 members made some interesting remarks concerning Mir. Wiss's reflection upon them, Delegate Harris of Dinwiddie, one of the most intelligent oolored men in the State, said: ''As . member of the General Assembly of Virginia, will say that when I go to see . gentleman on business, would like to see him ct his office or place of business, where
 any other gentleman would be received, and
 not be asked to go in his kitchen. If Mr.
 Wise meant what he said, it had no reference
 to me, for do not know where he lives I
 could not find his house except by direction,

 him in his kitchen" Mir. Bland of Surrey
 said: 1T have never sought Mir. Wise in
 his kitchen. Two years ago if wanted to
 see MT. Wise I could have seen him upon
 this floor, where he was frequently" The
 speaker referred to the last session of the
 legislature, when Mir. Wise was often in the
 hall of the House in consultation with coali
 tien members about matters of party policy.
 Scott. Dodson and Grif9n, three more col
 ored members. also disclaimed any acq usint-
 ance with the kitchen of MT. Wise's house.
 Each assert that when they go to see MT.
 Wise they shall not go to his kitchen. MT. Wise may yet be glad to receive calls from
 negro politicians in his parloF.

At present there Is grave danger that the psFpstrator of q peculiarly strocious murder in Iowa may be set free, simply because the son of his lawyer is member of the legislature and insists upon his .'riRhts'' somewhat after the fashion of senatorial conrtssy'' at Washing ton.

Governor Cleveland has released an inno- cent man from prison on condition that he will drink no liquor for five years. This is queer performance. If the man is innocent he is certainly entitled to an unconditional release.

The decision of the Supreme court of by an abutter on the highway in consequence of the erection of telegraph poles has caused considerable discussion and criticism. There vas dissenting opinion, signed by two of the judges, whose argument will be better appreciated by owners of real estate than the opinion of the majority. The two dissent ing judges hold that the weight of authority
 is that, while street railways with cars pro-
 pellsd by horse power are not to be regarded
 as imposing new servitude which will enti
 tie the owner of the fee of the highway to additional compensation, steam railroads are to be SO regarded. ''The use of highway for telegraph purposes is not naturally iI- oluded in the original design, or naturally incident to it's use for travel" It is also in- sisted that if the servisnt estate is to be sub
 jected to the burden of these poles, the owner of the fee is entitled to be paid at the outset for all such rights which are acquired against him, and that it cannot be told in advance how extensive a use will actually be made. One element in estimating the com
 pensation will therefore be uncertain. But there is this reason for holding that tue right to establish electrical lines is not included in the laying out of a highway. 'Whsn land is taken for a highway, the payment of dam ages is to be made by the city or town within
 whisA 1t lies. But city or town has no legal rieht to appropriate money for the establish nsnt of a line of telegraph or telephone for the general public use," and consequently none to pay the abutter, by way of compen-
 sation for the damage caused by the tele- graph poles, the profit of which inures to a commercial corporation.

J. N. Matthews, editor of the Buffalo Ex- press, gives some good advice to the Repub
 lieaa managers in New York, as follows The Republican party of New York has got be- yond control or manipulation by State com- rnittes or by a clique of political managers. Remember 1882. Mir. Folger was personally unexseptionable. Under some circumstances he would have commanded the full support of the party. But She methods by which he was nominated were fatal to him. The in3s- pendents do not want anything themselves They are not seeking for offices. But they do want the party business transacted in free, honorable, open manner. They do not want any dark-closet business, and will not submit to 1t. They want the result of con- ventions to be clearly the free and the best judgment of the majority of the party. The legislation of the party must be transacted with open doors, to be satisfactory to the voters. It must be recognized that the Re- publican party is made up of honest, intelli- gent, independent voters. They are going to exercise their indepenence from this time forth. Any step taken without recognizing this intention is dangerous to those who take it. That is the situation in New York, and that is all there is of it.

The majority of them, it is said, are real artists, imitatinS nature almost ta perfection, with sxqnisite taste and well ds- veloped imagination.

Observers Observations.
We are here again, as usual.
The corn-huskers have commenced bust
ness.
Insects are at work in some early-sown
pieces of wheat.
Tommy Galligan and wife have gone to
Wisconsin on visit.
Good wheat brings 20 cents bushel and
ordinary bran 75 cents.
The cider makers have commenced grind
ing up little worms for cider.
The fairs are all ended and the last bull
has been led home by the nose.
The buckwheat crop is just enormous, and
Is bringing A. cents per bushel.
Good winter apples are selling for one dol
lar barrel, delivered at the stations.
The cyclone season is over and people can
rest at ease till the first day of April next.
Tom Welch is putting on lots of airs over
the fact that Wilkes colt trotted the other
day in 2:1615, and another in 2:163l.
Fred Covert, the good looking druggist,
has moved his family into DR.. Andrews
house, recently vacated by Frank Millington.
John Lees trial will come off in December.
1t YVES expected he would be tried at the
September term, bat the people were not
ready. Johns attorneys moved to admit the
respondent to bail, but the motion was de
MED. l. y. Barnum is one of his attorneys.
George Benson, Decatur soldier, got mad
a short time ago because his pension-claim
was not settled, and wrote Uncle Sam let
ter telling him he could 90 to with it ;
he was going to Iowa. George hadn't more
than got to Pokagon before his claim was
adjusted, allowing him about $1100 back
pay and SO per month as long as he lives.
Two boys were going home from the fair
the other night, one 10 years old and the
other little younger. The Oldest was driy-
ing single horse before top buggy and
singing, very happy, some camp-meeting
hymn, while the other sat by him leading a
COW behind, with blue ribbon tied to her
left horn, singing "While we were marching
through Georgia" As they got opposite the
post-ofice little dog ran out, grabbed the
cow by the tail, when the singing suddenly
stopped; the carriage went over; the boys
went out in pile together, one hanging to
the horse, the other to the COW. The car
riage was somewhat demoralized and so were
the boys. One has been laid up ever since
by rope-burn in his left hand, and the
other has gone to Wisconsin for his health.
We are acquainted with these boys, and can
safely say that neither of them was intoxi-
Gated at the time.

Many of our readers will remember the
gang of counterfelters broken up at Lawton
by officer McCabe some eight years ago, and
Mrs. Lydia Ballou who was sentenced to one
year in the Kalamazoo Jail. On Wednesday
last, Mrs. Ballou was brought here violently
insane and is now at the county Jail await
ing action of the probate judge.
The Van Buren, county board of school
examiners issued 278 certificates within the
school year ending June 1884, of which there
were first, IL second, and 256 third grades.
As the county contained but 152 school dis
tricts during this year, these statistics en-
tirely explode the statements that only suf-
fcient teachers were licensed to fill the
schools, while all other applicants we're re-
jected.
A travelling man dropped into our Office a
few days since on little matter of business,
and, in the course of conversation, remarked
that he had just come from Bangor. He
said he saw flaming Cleveland and Hen
bricks sign III front of a certain building
there, and, taking it to be democratic head
quarters, dropped in to hear the political
news etc. He found himself in liquor
shop instead of democratic club room,
but, said he, 81 didn't think the mistake was
worth minding, as the difference between
the two is too slight to be worthy of mention" !"
