Virginia Politics.


WASHINGTON, June 24.-It would be
something of surprise to the country if
the Democrats should fail to carry Virginia
in the coming election, yet the leaders of
the party in the state are by no means so
sanguine as those who know little about
the situation. No opportunity has been
neglected to impress upon the administra-
ton the necessity of rendering all the
help possible through patronage. Rep
resentatives Cabell and Barbour are both
here on mission of that kind.
Gen. Cabell said to-day: 81 think the out
look is very encouraging for the Democrats.
Our party is in good shape and alive to the
Importance Of the contest" Representa-
tive Barbour, who is chairman of the Dem
ocratic state committee, said in reply to an
inquiry as to whether the Republicans were
to make an organized fight under Gen.
Malone: ''Oh, yes; It's life or death
fight with them, and no doubt
they will do their best. They will
not give up without hard
struggle" Speaking of federal appoint
ments in the state, and of substituting Dem
ocrats for Republicans, Col. Barbour said:
''It is necessarily slow. Virginia extends
over good deal of territory, and it takes
time to make appointments for the whole
state, especially postmasters. The changes
are being made, though, about as fast as it
is practicable, to secure good men for the
places.

Riddle and Reiber Acquitted.

PITTsBURG, Penn, June 24.-The great
est interest was manifested in the Riddle
Reiber conspiracy case, it being generally
known that the jury had agreed upon a
verdict The court room was packed to
its utmost capacity this morning. About
$50 the caurt was opened and the jury
stated they had found verdict of not
guilty, and the costs should be paid by the
prosecutors, Directors Cavitt and Carroll.
There was some lively applause, but it was
suppressed by the court. After the defend
ants had been congratulated, ex-Presi-
dent Riddle, knowing that there was
a writ for his arrest on judg-
ment obtained by G. F. Stewart &
Bros, went into court and gave bail in $10,-
900. The amount Of the Judgment against
him was $4,000. He was released from
custody, and was again the recipient of
congratulations. The attorneys for the de-
positors say the result of the trial will I'M
doubtedly win for them the civil suits now
pending against the directors for negligence.

Poor Unfortunate.

Special to the Globe.
DELAWARE, o., June 24.-On Decora-
ton day Mary j. Jones, a young woman
living in Rodener township, during fit of
insanity, tried to burn her fathers house.
Since that time she has never recoy-
cred her reason, but it was not consid-
cred necessary to send her to an
asylum. Two weeks ago she gave birth to
an Legitimate girl babe, and since that
time has been growing worse. This morn
ing during the breakfast hour she managed
to elude the vigilance Of the family, and
stealing from the house she threw her babe
into a ditch which ran near by, and
which at the time had five feet Of water
in it. running very swiftly, and
then jumped in herself. Parties seeing her
commit the deed ran up to the place and
succeeded in drawing the mother from the
water, but the babe was carried under by
the current and it's body has not yet
been found. The father of the
young woman is one of our
wealthiest farmers, and she had, previous
to her trouble, been well esteemed by the
entire community. Her insanity was prob
able caused by her condition and her in
ability to hide her shame. 1t is said the
author of her ruin is a married man, and
that he paid well to have the crime sup

INTERSTATE COMMERCE..

The interstate commerce committee,
which spent yesterday On its mission in
Minneapolis, and will conclude its labors,
so far as the Northwest is concerned,
in st. Paul to-day, has already taken
its labors in the South after it has
digested the pot-pie it has been mas
ticating Senator HARRIS says, in all
interview with GLOBE reporter, that the
principal causes of complaint the committee
has encountered are in the matters of re-
bates, Determinations between different
shippers, private concessions to others and
the difference between long and short
hauls in the same direction. Seventy-five
per cent of the people who have been be-
fore the committee, he claims, complain of
Injustice and ask for relief. The farmers,
of course, are the most emphatic. And
he gives it as. his view that congress
will be impelled by the preponderance of
the testimony to take some action with a
view to affording the relief asked for. The
gentlemen whose testimony was taken in
Minneapolis yesterday seemed, however, to
be in a state of sweet contentment as to
their condition. But they were mill men,
manufacturers, elevator operators and rail-
way managers, ETC., who quite naturally
would prefer that congress would take no
action in the matter. G. A. PILLsBURY ex-
pressed more fear of legislation than of dis
elimination against his great industries, yet
he was willing to admit that legislation pro-
hibiting pooling might be beneficial. His
point that Minneapolis is nearer the great
lakes than commercial and milling centers
farther south was well taken; also
the point that competition is q
good regulator of railway exac-
tons, provided pooling was abolished.
But if pooling is to prevail as a principle,
competition would hardly come under the
classification of a remedy. The testimony
taken by the commission will at least form
the basis of more intelligent discussion of
the interstate commerce question by con-
gress at its next session than that body has
hitherto enjoyed, and in that respect be
beneficial, whether the problem is satistac-
torily solved OF not. 1t would seem, how
ever, that some of our Northwestern pro-
dncers should be heard, and not contine the
line of the investigation to railway mama
gers, mill men. elevator operators and other
large shippers who can get special rates. 1t
need not be expected that these will for1nu-
late any objections to the system now in
practice in this section. They may well
court competition rather than invite legis-
latiOn.

THE DAIRYMEN,s CONVENTION

THE DAIRYMEN'S CONVENTION.
The Minnesota dairymen in session at
Moorhead, like the business men that they
are, proceeded promptly on yesterday with
the work in hand. Gov. HUBBARD graced
the occasion with his presence and pledged
the state to protect and promote the dairy
ing industry in every way within the power
of the executive. Secretary MCGLINCY,
of the Northwestern association, was pres
ent to bestow the boon of his experience
upon the North. He sounded the key
note when he said that Northern Mime
sofa and North Dakota belonged to the
great dairying belt as does any other section
where grass grows and water flows. The
experienced dairymen who passed north
through the Park region of Northern Min
nesota must have all been struck with what
nature has done for that favored section in
the way of fitting it for the great industry
of dairying and stock-growing generally.
Beautiful groves, furnishing ample pro-
lection, luXuriant grasses and sweet, cold
water ON every hand, picturesque land
scape that even the lowing kline could but
appreciate when chewing the cud of con-
tentment. And from Moorhead running
water and green fields invite the industry
of dairying to the limits of the horizon and
beyond the widest stretch of the imagina-
ton. But to descend from speculation to
statistics the GLOBE would call attention to
the excellent paper of Mr.. j. B. POWER on
stock growing in the North, which estab-
fishes the fact that this industry is destined
to develop in this direction. Mr.. POWER
shows that his stock was amply sheltered
by Oat and hay ricks and was taken
through last winter, which was exception
ally rigorous in prime condition. And Mr..
HOARD made happy hit when he called
attention of the meeting that excellent
results come to the industry by
such meetings, where experiences can be
interchanged and all profit by it.
profit by it as well. They are deeply in
terested in anything which will tend to
better the quality of the butter they buy.
If Maj. MCKINsTRY's practical suggestions
are followed by dairymen generally good
results will be reached. The assurances of
Commissioner RICE, that he was preparing
to prosecute with vigor manufacturers and
vendors of spurious butter, is gratifying.
The consumer will rise up and call him
blessed, if he can check the business. 1t is
doubtful if any law could be enacted to alb
solutely prohibit the manufacture and sale
of the spurious stuff. AS he truly says,
they mix the spurious with the genuine and
its noxious presence cannot be detected I'M
til it has been exposed to atmospheric con-
ditions which disclose its quality to the
olfactories and the palate. Then it soon
becomes rank offense to the household,
and cannot be too quickly buried in the
back yard.

Further indian Depredations.

DENVER, Col, June 24.-The following
particulars of the Indian trouble has just
been received. On Saturday even
ing party Of Indians camped
on Beaver creek, sixty miles west of
DURANGO, and got into an alteration
with the cowboys about horses, which the
cowboys claimed the Indians We're trying
to steal. One Indian ran to Ills teepee,
where there were three other bucks, one
squaw, one papoose and a boy.
The cowboys followed and opened
fire on the Indians in the tepee, killing the
four bucks, the squaw and pappoose, and
wounding the boy, who got away. That
night at 1 o'clock, in Montezuma valley,
twenty miles distant. man named
Genther sat reading. His wife was
preparing for bed, their children
being asleep. The wife heard anoise, ran
out and found the house On fire. Genther
came out, put out the fire and was shot, re-
ceiving seven bullet wounds. The wife ran
to assist him and was shot in the shoulder.
Before he died, Genther told her to get the
children out of the house, which she did,
hiding herself in brush until the Indians
departed Secreted by darkness, with four
small children, carrying an infant in arms
and leading another, she wandered all night
through the sage brush, barefooted and in
her night clothes, finally reaching neigh
boris house. The Indians helped them
selves to whatever they wanted and
departed. Mrs. Genther, at last accounts
was in very critical condition. The body
of Genther was found burned to crisp. 1t
is reported 500 Indians are ready to make
war if the result of the investigation now
being made by Agent Stollslemer is UNI
satisfactory. Indians were seen moving
westward on Monday and Tuesday, fol-
lowed by two companies of cavalry. The
whole country is terribly excited.

THE dafrymen of New York are justly in
dignant at the case made up by the oleomar-
garine dealers of New York to procure a de-
cision from the court of appeals on an argued
case, which only gave an ex-parte statement
On the oleomargarine. The legitimate dairy
buttermen have resolved to bring a case on
its merits, wherein their side of the case shall
be fully and fairly set forth and argued be-
fore the courts. And then, in the event of q
decision against them, they propose to appeal
tothe court of the last resort. The buttermen
will have the sympathy of the consumers
everywhere in their struggle with the dealers
in the spurious article. If the oleomargarine
industry has enough influence to corrupt the
state courts, as would seem possible by the
status of the. case now, and there is no remedy
in the courts above, legitimate dairymen had
as we'll retire from the field and leave the pub
lie at the mercy of the spurious dealers un-
til they rise up in their wrath and smite them
and their product out of the trade.

rNcREAsING FIRE PROTECTION

INCREASING FIRE PROTECTION.
THE decision of the fire commissioners to
better the equipment of our well-oficered
and manned fire department by the pur-
chase of two new engines of the first class,
and three chemicals and Unnecessary appur-
tenances will meet with popular approval.
In fact the principal property owners and
taxpayers had already petitioned to have
thorough equipment supplied. There is
no department of the public service that SO
affects every public interest as the fire sery-
ice. The whole fabric of our business
houses and our homes and the safety of
property and life are more nearly based
upon fire protection than upon any other
one thing. So long as there is no need
