We noticed last week that one Of our ex-
changes had an editorial very nach like one
that appeared the week before in the Rev
Dominion. It. however, was not credited
to any paper. If any one wants to CHIP ar
ticles from rs they are welcome to them If
they viii indicate where they get it-Mor-
gantown New Dominion.
The REGIsTER regrets to see Mr.. FLEMING,
the very able and bright editor of the Do
minion, showing so much ssperity of tenn
per because his wit and his ability are so
highly appreciated as to be copied into
other newspapers without credit. Let him
copy after the REeIsFEs in this respect. 1t

attracted from lis columns so long aud 50
ofen without credit that as q matter Of
course it thinks il the proper thing for its
exchanges to do. Indeed it has become so
thoroughly disciplined in this direction.
IRON the frequency Of the occurrence, that
II now looks as eomplscently upon an "orig.
inaI article" or piece Of nsws-mattsr in an
exchange, which appeared in the REGIsrER
several days before, as if it had no right or
title to it whatever. The REGIsrER Will 20

higAly eOmpEmsnted to know there is sufi

o She Treats.
g. r..E.. ~-,.s.y,

When men go together they generally
shake for the cost of the dinner. Girls gen
eIally pay their shares. But l like to watch
he conscious superiority, the bland impor-
lance q girl puts on when she is going to
pay tie check for the feast. The afsc ion
ate attention she receives from the others is
q simple and efficient guide to the purse Of
tie party. If you have any doubt of it
watch the ostentatious way in which the
payer takes out her purse, takes up the
check and examines it or asks the waiter
how much it is. Watch how they all wait
upon the one who pays. They show her a
Difference that is unmistakable, give place
to her as they approach the counter and
trot out gigging and laughing, the guests
holding on most devotedly to the arms of
the treater. It's lovely. But, dear cres-
lures, they are chuck full of human nature,
and that's what's the trouble with all of US.

MosE than ssvsnty6vs plans for vessels
have been submitted to the Navy Depart
ment for the Rev cruisers Secretary wHrr.
SE1, in giving instructions to the boardthat
examines the plans, says:
ut i. therefore, desirable to proceed With
great caution in this matter, and TO take no
step without its being absolutely 9 sure one,
and in order to do this it Is necessary that
tie department should be possessed Of all
the information possible to be gathered in
regard to what other people have done. No
private individual would set out to spend
$1,000 900 in construction without first be-
coming acquainted with the best things
that had been done by others in the same
direction"
If ex-Secretsry CHANDLER had proceeded
in. this businesl-ike manner, the people
would not now be discussing the mistor-
tunes Of Mr.. ROACH.

A FULL synopsis Of the platform adopted
by the Virginia Democrats in convention is
published in another column. 1t is q clean
cut hew to the line document that stands
out in bold relief to the snsrhng ,bllLdoziug
proclamation Of the Mshoneites and their
miscellaneous assortment Of helpers and
strikers.
One Of the excellent planks in the plat
form is the advocacy of q complete aud uu-
conditional abolition Of the internal reye
nue. system. This is reform in earnest, aud
although it win take largely from the pat
rorage of the party in power BY the abOH-
ton Of so many Offices, yet it is the sure
way to commend itself to the confidence Of
the people. What this country wants more
than anything else is fewer Office holders
and more producers. Then there viii be
less contention for the spOils. Simplify the
system of Federal taxation and reduce the
tax to q minimum and the first milestone
to real national prosperity and content
mtut viii be attained.

might lose his job. Only last night he ex-
claimed, my reverend brother excused him

The army worm has been doing some
damage to the oats in this vicinity, Mr..
All. WILSON, Of Short Greek, thinks he will
lose about 200 bushels, other farmers also
complain, but do not attach anything like
the importance to the destruction from the
worm that they do from the ~grasshoppsr.
They are very thick and very bad in the
oat fields and before the crop is all harvest
ed, which will not be until the last Of next
week, they are likely to do great damage.
