An Ounce Of Prevention.

The old adage that IAN ounce of pre-
vention is worth q pound of curen is
especially true of cholera. 1t is posi-
BILE that cholera will invade this country
during the coming summer in spite of
all quarantine regulations and other
safeguards, but experience has shown
that its viruence may be greatly less
ened by timely precautions and proper
care of the general health. 1t is GER
tainly a matter that demands the serious
attention of the public authorities and
of tho people themselves Eevery one
should see to it that his own premises
are free from all uncleanliness. But as
many will neglect to use proper precau-
ton, the proper authorities in all towns
lin this place the marshaD should make
o house-to-housc visitation this spring,
and see that the regulations in regard
to cleanliness are enforced

The agent of this celebrated cure has
appointed Messrs. Stone & Hassel and
w. b. Baxter, druggists. sole agents for
this now well-known remedy for Kid
ney, Liver and Dropsy complaints. Cali
on them for q circular and testimonials.
This celebrated medicine is compound
ed by most cleanly process from herbs
gathered in Palestine and one is not re-
quired to take half dozen bottles to
prove its usefulness. A single dose will
convince the sufferer of its curative
power Manufactured in the great med
icine city of Rochester, n. Y, it has
larger home patronage than all other
compounds combined in that city. -
Leading druggists and physicians are
becomming greatly interested in the
German preparation Won Tagan's Ajax
inc. 1t is claimed that there is nothing
to compare with it for kidney, liver or
heart troubles, sick headache, costiye-
ness, debility, etc. If true, its import
ance to every family cannot be over
estimated, for it means great saving
Of expense, suffering and perhaps life.
Sickness is always of momentous con-
sequence and so certain is Alaxine to
cure that laborious effort is being made
to persuade every interested person, first
to try one bottle, which will tell the
story. if it is 10 benefit; if not, the agent
Fred w. Bryan, is instructed to refund
price paid. That these generous terms
should make constant urging unneces-
sary. to try remedy of this high order,
must be admitted. Do not buy anv
other preparation until you have per-
Sondtty used this. 28y1

Lieutenant Colonel Burnaby was a
giant among small men. He measured
six feet four in his socks, and when in
uniform, with his plumed helmet on
his head. looked son Of Anak. He
was strong as horse, but as mild as a
lamb. Sometimes the lamb would be
goaded into the lion. Fred Burnaby
was travelling in Spain, when a short
German drummer persisted in insult
ing a sonora in the same car. As the
man would not listen to reason the
Colonel lifted him bodily off the car by
the collar of his coat. The trains GO
very slowly in Spain, but fast enough to
leave the drummer on the tracks.

The appointment of the unrepentant

ter to Russia must have been rather a
severe strain on President Cleveland's
earnest desire to be model president
and exampler of civil service reform.
The fact that the senate courteously al
lowed the president to withdraw Law
tons name instead of rejecting him
does not mitigate Mr.. Cleveland's blum
der in the least. His advisers should
look ost and see that he doesn't appoint
to Office some penitentiary convict
whose term has not vet expired. In
such ease a pardon would have to ac-
company the appointment, or else there
could be no real reform in the civil SER

A Richmond telegram in the New
York Tribune of yesterday gives an ac-
count Of the MALONE gathering here,
and adds:
"There are many indications that q
large fraction of the white mechanics
and other white workingmen in this
city and other manufacturing centres of
Virginia-men who have voted the
Bourbon ticket hitherto--will come to
the aid of the Republicans in the COM

probably cured when they saw yester-
day how many negroes showed them

1 CITY Han. The Free Trader would
advise her to buy the stcse 70 % usca
in ia construction IN Ohio or wherever
else she can buy Il more cheaply. Inc
prosectionist would advise her 70 ouiia

,crson thinks the latter advice unphIlo-
sophical and contrary to the teachings
Of most or at least some politich
economists. lie says we must buy
"wherever we can buy cheapest" ana
and Of course employ the contractor,
whether q yirginian or a Bostonian'
who will put 1t up for the smallest SUN
of money. The protectionist would
reverse all this. He would keep Rich
mond's money at home, aud he holds
that IL Richmond pays 100000 to
Richmond workmen. whether for granite
or for the work Of putting up the
building, and all that money is kept
here. she will not have lost one cent,
since she will, as . corporation, possess
q 100000 City Hall, at the same time
that she will possess, as q community,
the 100000 which the City Hall will
have cost.
But suppose the contractors and all
the workmen come from Boston, and
take back home with them when they
return all the money which the City
Hall will have cost except the few thou
sand dollars which they will have paid
for board, &C., whilst at work upon it.
Let them carry say four hundred
thousand dollars to Boston and leave
one hundred thousand dollars here. In
that case, the active capital Of this city
will have been reduced by four hun
dred thousand dollars--a sum equal to
the capital of one or more Of our banks.
The reader will at once jump to the
conclusion that dozen transactions Of
the same kind would take away sum
equal to the capital Of all the banks in
this city Of all sorts, and he might be-
gin to think that after all there might
be some truth in Mr.. RandAll's teach
ings in regard to the protection Of home
industries.

Some City Matters.

We are sometimes tempted to fear
that our city fathers are little behind
the times. We seldom or never COM
plain of them, being satisfied that they
endeavor to perform their duties faith
fully and conscientiously. Although
we have considered their treatment Of
the School Board wrong, and held that
they ought never to have interfered
with the trustees in the exercise of
their functions, yet we have never in
timsted that they were not actuated
by the purest Of motives. Now that
the last City Attorney, the present City
Attorney, the Attorney General, the
Superintendent of Public instruction
and the State School Board, have all
agreed in saying that whatever money
tae Council sppropriates to the public
schools must be placed to the credit of
the trustees and expended by them, we
have reason to hope that the trustees
of the public schools and the city
fathers will never again have even an
amicable dispute. Nevertheless, we
must be permitted to say that
$3.50 is very small sum to be
appropriated to the erection of a new
school-house in the growing and popu-
lous West End; and contrasts rather
unfavorably with the expenditure of
over three hundred thousand dollars on
a new City Hall. We do not say that
the latter sum is too great, but that the
former is too small. Let as erect no
snsightly school-houses.
And whilst speaking Of the new City
Hall, We must be excused for saying
word or two on the subject Of the cues
ton that was raised at the last meeting
Of the Board Of Aldermen relative
to requiring the work on that
fine building to be done by Rich
mond mechanics. We have no new
theory 10 advocate. We stand where
we have stood all the time. And we say
now, as we said on the 81 Of January
last, what here follows. The subjoined
two paragraphs were the leading sdi.
torial in the Dispasch Of that date:

THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION.

THE lEmfEhhNtf QlESllON.
At the last session Of the Grand
Lodge OF Coed Templars the following
resolutions were adopted:
First. We recommend that COM
mittee Of Ave be apr ointed to prepare
petition, 9th the seal of this grand
body attached, AMI present it to the
Democratic and Republican State Con-
ventions, whic,l will assemble during
this year. praying these political par
ties to insert in their platforms assu-
RANGES that an opportunity will be
given IS the voters Of Virginia to vote
on loeal option.
Second. That in the event that the
conventions Of the Democratic and Re-
publican parties Of Virginia to be held
in 1885 should refuse or fail to insert
such assurances as to the enactment Of
lOcal-option laws as we demand, then
the Executive Committee Of this Grand
Lodge shall Immediately issue call
for convention Of representatives from
all temperance organizations or assoca-
tons in the State to meet in the city Of
Richmond at the earliest possible pc
Rod, TO consult as to what action shall
be taken by the temperance people Of
Virginia in the fall campaign of 1885,
in regard to the election Of State officers
and members Of the General Assembly
Of Virginia.
Having implicit confidence in your
political prescience, as well as your
knowledge Of the foundation principles
Of our Government, the foregoing is
sent you for consideration and com
ment.
4 failure on the part of the two par
ties to recognize the right Of the people
to vote for or against the right to issue
license, or cay other " live issue" is
iIsught with greater consequences to
both parties than the State debt. cou-
pons, offices, ETC.. for herein are the
fundamental principles OF our Govern

The chairman Of County Executive

its last session, held in Harrisonburg,
Va, for your comment-that is, If you
feel disposed to insert it in your paper.
desire to say that this temperance
movement is not an eilete che, but is
fast assuming strong proportion and
is determined TO be heard, and hope
both parties will permit these voters to
vote on this question and save them the
necessity OF the organization Of third
party, which is certainty if the relief
asked for is not granted.
Beng q Democrat and chairman Of
ouI County Executive Committee, do
hope that when the petition aforesaid is
presented that the Convention will
weigh the matter carefully before ac-
ton, especially if it proposes to act
upon it unfavorably.
There are enough men in the State I'M
compromisingly Prohibitionists who
will vote against their old parties
to carry the election in favor of any
temperance legislation, and if new
party is organized it is sure to defeat
the Democrats, for four-ffths Of the
temperance voters are Democrats.
| am fully aware Of the difficulties
attending either view of this great cues
ton, and in my judgment-and have
had good opportunities to form judy
ment--ihe success Of our party is de-
pendent upon our action in the premises.
The meaning and intent of the first
resolution is, Shall the people or the
politicians rule this Commonwealth ? and
that point will be pressed for all it is
worth. In hope Of Democratic success,
l am yours truly,

Gladstone, in amplitude Of compre-
hension, is the superior Of every ora
tor, ancient or modern" You say !:
1.-The sentence seems TO be correct"
1t seems to me, Mr.. Editor, that if
Gladstone is an orator, and think both
you and your interrogation proceed upon
the assumption that he is and if the
assertion is made that he a" is the supe-
rior of erery orator." he must be the
superior Of himself. In my opinion
the sentence should be " Gladstone.
in amplitude Of comprehension, is the
superior of euery other orator. ancient
or modern.
If Jones, who lives in this town, is
declared to be taller than any man in
town, he is, evidently, declared to be
taller than himself; for he is in town,
is compared with all men in tovn, hence
scith himself. Jones may, however,
with perfect consistency, be declared
taller than any other man in town. Re
specially, A. A. WEBB.
Our correspondent is right. Our at
tention was attracted to another point
by remark Of the man who put the
question to US. So the point made by
Mr.. Webb escaped us.
We wrote several columns some
years ago in the vain hope of convincing
the late DR.. Jeter that in such SEN
fences as the one quoted above the
word "other" should be employed.
He could not see that it was wrong to
