4 RASClLLF RALLY.

Washington, July 16.-The Re-
publican State Convention which
has just ended its session at Rich.
mOnd, Va, was manipulated com.
pletely by Malone. There was q
minority faction, but only one or
two of their leaders had the nerve
to fight. Riddleberger was only
too happy to be allowed to crouch
at Mahone's feet.
Riddleberger was in no condi-
tion to speak with force or effect.
He simply demurred the COnven-
tion, aud, if possible, strengthened
by his behavior the hold which
Malone by ehicanery, intrigues
and audacity had previously ac-
quired.
Malone is more than a match
for Riddleberger, Sims, Cameron
and Hubbard. Some of these
men may be able in the campaign.
Sims and Cameron will hardly do
much.
The platform is Mahone's work.
He has expended the best efforts
of his genius upon it for a full
month, and 1t is happy and
lengthy combination of impudence,
mendacity and blackguardism.
The nomination ofJohn s. Wise
is a very weak one. His personal
character is well calculated to re.
pei votes and to arouse the Demo
Gratis to their best efforts. He
has slandered and maligned the
people of the State and is at war
with the best elements of order
and character in Virginia. He
will go over the State and make
loud, abusive speeches, and exhib.
it himself, but he will not get the
vote that Blair or Bowen could
have commanded.
The Republicans have taken
their candidates for attorney Gen,
eral and Lieutenant Governor
from the southwest part of the
State, showing that they recognize
that part of the State as the battle
ground.
The Republicans have shown by
getting together 700 men in mid
summer that their organization is
a strong one, and the Democratic
leaders confess that they have
need of all their wisdom and ener
gy to make sure of the State.

ANOTHER TELEPHONE DECISION.

The latest phase of the tele
phone litigation was developed at
Pittsburg, Pa, July 5, in the U. S.
Court, before Judge McKinnon,
in the suit of the Bell Telephone
Co. against the Western Tele-
phone Co., for infringement and
injunction. The court permitted
the counsel for the Bell Co. to oc-
cupy almost an entire day with
their argument, but refused TO
hear any reply on behalf of the
defense, although they we're pre-
pared to prove that their inven-
ton was substantially the same as
that used by Refs, many years
prior to Bells alleged invention.
At first the court was inclined
to hear of this matter, as the
issue hinges entirely upon the
question whether or not the Refs
transmitter will transmit speech
regardless of the kind of receiver
used but finally it refused to hear
evidence, allowing that to go over
to the final hearing. The court,
however, held that the questions
at issue had been decided recently
by Judges Gray and Wallace, and
that it would not, in the matter of
a preliminary injunction, venture
to decide contrary to the opinions
of those eminent jurists.
The practical effect of this de.
cision is that the use of the Refs
telephone is an Infringement of
the Bell patent--a position which
we have expected the lower courts
would sooner or later take, since
in no other way can the gigantic
Bell monopoly be upheld. The
moment justice is done, and the
use of Reis' invention allowed, the
patent of Bell will be reduced to
its proper rank-that of a subor-
dinate Improvement. None of the
Bell telephone litigatlons have
reached decision by the Supreme
Court. If the latter tribunal deals
with the Bell patent in the same
manner that 1t has with other wide
reaching monopolies, the claims
Of the Bell people will, in due
time, be greatly modified.

ReminIscense of Lincoln's Last Day.

NJ. Charles A. Dana at one time
wrote for the New York Tribune.
Ii was in the service of that jour-
nal aud for its columns he wrote
the following:
"The last time / saw Mr.. Lincoln

that Mr.. Thompson was to be in

ENGLISH JOURNALISTS.
4 Country Where journalism Stimulate.
the People i'm Theory Only.

L Country Where journalism Stimulates
the People i'm Theory Only.
The journalist, it is customary 10 say.
is powerful in England, and | believe
that the multitude of those who are de-
sirous of adding journalism to their
regular occupations is, as the sands OF
the seashOre, innumerable. But men
who mold public opinion by their writ
ing have seldom the opportunity or the
inclination TO mix with society. Ger
tain it is that one only catches fleeting
glimpseS of them. But does journalism
in England mold public opinion. or
what are the relations in which Il
stands TO it? If the articles one reads
in the newspapers were fair reflection
of the National mind upon any given
subject and at any particular crisis,
then it would follow that whenever the
press is excited the country must be
excited too. But is that the case?
Nothing of the kind. The London
newspapers, in the morning and the
evening, lash themselves into a fury
over the shortcomings of English Min
listers in every quarter of the globe.
4
Englishmen throughout the country
read those diatribeS and invectives. for
the most part admirably written, with
warm approval. But nothing comes
of them. The public no more thinks
of acting in accordance with their pre-
cepts than it does of taking as its rule
of life the high-fOwn sentiments in the
drama which it has just been applaud
ing. Journalism stimulates the people
only in theory. The leading articles,
though the assertion may seem a con-
tradiction in terms. are absolutely inef-
fective, because they are so effective.
The average Briton. after having read
one of them, acts precisely as the pious
church-goer does who has listened to a
sermon which has kisdled within his
bosom glow of emotion. Church
goer aud newspaper reader alike do
their duty. Sermon and article equally
discharge the function of safety valve.
The press interprets what it declares to
be the deliberate conviction of the Ma
ton, and the Nation, with the comment
'Quite so" goes its way.-Society IL
London, 6ya Former Resident.
