Trade is dull in stores
that are out OF the stream;
but in the stream it is lively
enough. The thing to do is
to keep in the stream. The
wants of prodigal fashion
are satisfied. The provi-
dent million are as hungry
as ever. We busy ourselves
with both in their seasons.
The millions season is al
ways, but its best opportuni-
ty lies between the seasons
OF luxury.
That is, if your merchant
knows his business, the dull
est months OF the year will
bring you, provident people
most advantage. And so 1
needn't be dull in mid.win

CLEANED FROM THE MAILS.

There are two opera houses in Carbonate,
Pa, which led to confusion there Friday
night. Just after Geo. G. Min the tragedian,
who lately played in Stanton, had finished
''Rchelieu" at Nealon's Opera House.and re-
tired to his room in his hotel, ne was called
on by the proprietor of the O'Hearn Opera
House with a bill of $25 damages for not
playing in his house which he said Ms agent
had engaged He threatened to seize Minis
baggage if it was not paid. The actor refused
to pay the claim of which he had no knowl-
edge whatever, and loading the company's
baggage on a wagon, seated himself along
with the driver to soc it to the depot. O'Hearn
came up with party and Min was struck
from behind with loaded whip, badly cut
ting his skull. He was then pulled off the
seat. On reaching the ground he got posses
sion of the whip, whaled his assailant badly
with it until he cried for mercy, and drove
him and several others who tried to take q
hand, off the field. He carried off the whip
as memento of the victory Mr.. Min has
has engaged counsel to sue O'Hearn for the
interruption.

THE WITHDRAWAL OF MR..
TICKER

We publish elsewhere the announcement
of Hon. John Randolph Tucker that he
will not be a candidate for reelection to
the House of Representatives. In the
rapid march OF events it has been Mr..
fuckers fortune to become irrevocably
separated from the popular sentiment OF
his State on some important issues; but
no man IN the State will ever be found to
question the integrity Of his purpose. the
honesty of his convictions or the self-abne-
CATION evinced in the tenacity with which
he has clung to those convictions. He has
been no place seeker, and that which he
has filled for ten years past came to him
with solicitation on the part Of the people,
but none On his part. No man was ever
further from being politician in the ordi-
nary sense of the word. and none was ever
farther removed from devious by-ways ui
walked more in the light of the day.
While the people may not regret his ab-
sence as representative on some of the
issues of the day. they will nevertheless
regret that of the pure and genial gentle
man who for many years in public life has
made the record of never having done c
questionable act.

Fairfax, the county in which GOV. Fitz
Lee resided at the time Of his election,
gave him 389 majority. The Democratic
member Of the House of Delegates chosen
at the election was afterwards elected,
judge of the county by the legislature. In
the election to fill the vacancy in the
House, j. M. Thorne Republican was
elected over e. M. Lowe Democrat! The
Alexandria Gazette" explains this NOR
tifyine result by saying that the Demo
Gratis of Fairfax ''seemed to have lost all
interest in politics, and were dissatisfied
with both the Virginia and the National
Democracy, and would not turn out to
vote" IT the Democrats of Fairfax coun-
ty were called on for their own explana-
tion, they would doubtless say that the
people of Virginia don't particularly fancy
being made stepping stone of. When
they elect member of the House of Del
egates they are not voting in the perspec-
tive for county judge. And that where
their choice for Delegate is made a judge.
they don't propose to be dragged out to
the polls again in forty days to fill his
place with another Democrat Members
of the legislature should not be elected
to any place, and if the various legisla-
lures will not learn it, the people seem
disposed to teach them, even if the lesson
costs something. Any Democrat can I'M
derstand the feeling of the Fairfax Dem
ocrats by applying the case to his own
county. II the Democrats of Augusta were
forced out to the polls again. forty days
after an election. because their Delegate
had been elecEad county judge we should
hear it thunder as loud as it did in Fair
fax.

The Bill for the Confinement of Grim inal
Insane.
Mr.. Echols, of Augusta, has introduced
bill in the House of Delegates in rela-
tion to lunatics, which contains proyis-
ion so eminentIy just that it is a source of
amazement that the necessary law was
not enacted long ago. This is measure
of protection to society which should meet
universal approval; and its enactment
into a law will have salutary effect in
many ways.-NorfoE Landmark.
Mr.. Echols has introduced bill in the
House of Delegates which provides for the
immediate commitment to the insane asy-
lums of the State, of persons who are &C
quilted of murder on the ground of in
sanity. This is a very proper bill and
should be made law with the least pos
sible delay Farmav.lle Journal.
Mr.. Echols, of Augusta county, has
introduced bill in the Legislature which
provides for the immediate commitment
to the insane asylums of the State of per-
plea of insanity. By all means let the bill
pass WytheUille Enterprise.
The necessity for such law as that
proposed by Mr.. Eciols has become SO ap-
parent that demands for its enactment
have been made in various quarters.-
Norfolk Virginidn.
1t is to be hoped that this bill, or one
embodying like provisions. will be passed
during this session Of the Legislature.
Nothing in the administration of our ju-
dicial system has more outraged the law
abiding public and served to instigate and
excuse the lawlessness of Judge Lynch,
than the ease with which criminal es-
capes the penalty of his crime under the
insanity Plea Charlottesville Chronicle.
Tie bill recently introduced In the
House of Delegates By Mr.. tchols, of

The lmposslbllty of enforcing laws
where they do not carry with them deep
conviction of the public mind. is we'll il
Illustrated in Iowa, where State prchibi-
tion law has been in oper alton long
enough to calculate with some certainty
as to its final success. We copy the fol-
lowing from the Prohibitionist OF that
State: ajournal which 1t will hardly be
charged would publish anything showing
the weakness of the enforcement of the
law without it knew it to be true:
Burlington.-The majority are against the
law. Officers will not act,
Dubuque.-The boys have just started two
more filth holes This county is fit for a
Sodom.
Des Moines.-There are number of places
selling here.
Council Bluffs.-Majority of our prominent
business men are opposed to the enforcement
of the law. Officers will not do duty.
Sioux City.-Number of saloons about the
same as before. No effort has been made to
enforce the law
The nearest approach to ascertaining
the depth of the conviction of the
popular mind on the question is
local option. Even that must be
carried by an almost unanimous vote
to ensure its enforcement. 1t needs no
Biblical quotations to show that excessive
drinking is a sin committed by man
against himself, but if the sin is ever to
be put out of desire and out OF reach, it
must, like other sins, be matter for the
family. 1t is in the early training that
we make sober men, and in the lack of it,
druakards. Laws are but fences for ap-
petite to boldly leap over, or secretly crawl
under; they do not bar the way.
