AS an illustration of the kind of prSncl-
ole which controls the Democratic party,
we give the following paragraph from the
Philadelphia Times referring to the Demo
cratic Tammany celebration of the 4th of
July, and the Democratic speeches made
by Democratic speakers on that occasion.
It is text Of itself from which useful
deductions may be drawn by those seeking
to know what the principles Of that party
really are:
All accounts of Tammany's Fourth of
July demonstration agree chat it was a
very hilarious affair at least. Senator
Vance got in his usual attack on civil ser
vice reform. although some of the North
Carolina papers are telling him regularly
that he misrepresents his State by his
attitude on this question, and Randolph
Tucker waved the free trade flag amid the
plaudits of the crowd, although the growth
of the protection sentiment in his district
has driven him into announcing his retire.

IDENTITY appreciated the fact that he was in
the hands Of the philistines, and was
forced, in consequence, to go way over to
ireland for a subject in which Tammany
would listen to with reason and sense. When
Mr., Randall is called over to New York to
make tariff speech it won't be to make
the kind of a speech Mr.. Tucker made
Yesterday. But then Mr.. Randall's tariff

Partisan Action.

Recently the Electoral Board of School
Commissioners for the county of Augusta
met in the City of Staunton for the pur-
pose of filling vacancies in the various
Boards of School Trustees of the county.
With one exception, Jos. Houseman, of
Beverly Manor, who had rendered his res
ignation, the old members had been So
licited by the people of their respective
districts to serve and had consented. To
this end, numerous petitions, bearing the
names of the best.men of both political
parties Of the county, were laid before the
Board.
However to no effect, with one excep-
tion. Such men as VIM. Fl. Peyton, w.
+. Whitmore and Saml. A. Dunlap had to
vacate and a set of new trustees were APP
pointed.
Under the old regime, when this appoint.
ing power lay in the hands of the county
judge, the commonwealth attorney and
county superintendent, each political
party had a representative upon each of
the six Boards of the county. If the
Democrats were in the ascendancy, then
they had two and the Republicans one.
If the Republicans were in power, then
the numbers were reversed But now,
with the exception of one Board, the Re-
publicans have not single representative
in the county,
Yet there is stronger ground for COM
plant than even this.
| In the case of w. F. Whitmore of Mid
die River District. one may plainly see to
what length prejudice and will to rule
will carry even some Boards of Public
Trust.
MI. Whitmore. (Democrat) who has
faithfully served the people of Middle
River District for nearly ten years. was
represented before the Electoral Board for
reappointment by $50 of the best men of
Middle River District; such as Col. Jno.
H. Crawford, Jas. f. Bowman, G. D.
| Coyner, Geo. A. Phillips, P. M. Dice, j.
j. Craig, J. M. Yount, and large number
of others. Yet the petitioners were treated
with contempt, and Mr.. Whitmore thrown
over. Why? The answer is because, as
we have been Informed, he could not be in
duced to do the bidding of member of
that Electoral Board. but acted as a con-
scientious, consistent trustee should act.
However, in justice. let it be understood,
that Mr.. C. T. Jordan, one member Of said
Board, cast his vote each time for right
and against prejudice and passion.
This converting of the schools into
political machine can have but one effect
to impair their efficiency and bring the sys-

the benefit of all the people and those who
fail to recognise this fact should never be
entrusted with their administration. The
whole system of democratic laws is curse

There was recently held in Indianapolis,
Ind. convention of poets and literary per-
sons-those who had written either prose or
poetic fancy sketches, and drawn on the
imagination for their facts. OF course
the rule that governed their deliberations
and expressions was the License of po-
etry," which means any exaggeration
of the actual that the creative genius OF
unhinged mentality might require to ad-
just the metre and the rythm. 1t is not
stated whether the Convention resolved to
nominate ticket for the Presidency, or
even for State officers, but in these times
of political unquiet and volcanic distur-
Dances, convention of poets could hardly
refrain from some unusual explosion, in
keeping with the political chaos which
more Or less prevails. Poetism ought to
have as many rights as any other ism, and
the right to hold conventions and n0mi
nate tickets for anything and everything
is one of the incontrovertible prerogatiyes
of an ismatic world.

In justice to Gen. Malone and Mr. Craig
it is proper to state that there is no truth
in the above report. Gen. Malone is
more concerned, just now, about his
health, than he is about political aspirants,
and is taking and proposes to take very
little active interest in the fall campaign.
Indeed, he will be absent from the State
most of the time. Each district will
manage its own affairs to suit itself, and
be alone responsible for what it does. Mr..
Craig is not Congressional aspirant, but
will give his intelligent and effective sup
port to the nominee of his party, whoever
that may be. There will be no squabbling
over the action of the convention, and no
revenges to crafty after the result is
announced.

1t was stated that Hon. Geo. c.. Cabell,
the member of Congress from the Fifth
Virginia District, following the example
of Barbour and Tucker, would not be a
candidate for reelection. To those who
have observed Royal George as he aired
his greatness in the corridors of Congress,
and the dissatisfaction with which he re-
CARDS himself, the announcement was a
surprise. The aroma of the Danville to-
bacco market would not be very agreea-
BILE substitute for the rich perfumes which
arise from the flower beds that embellish
the public grounds at Washington, nor the
jostle Of the factory hands pleasant re-
lief from the contact with rustling silks
and shiny broadcloth, which do most pre-
vail on the bouevards of the Nation s
capital. Nor would the misery pittance
of fifteen shilling fees answer the end
of life accustomed to draw five thousands
in ready cash on the signing Of his
name. So we were prepared to hear Of
an indignant denial of the suggested vol
untary retiracy. 1t is possible, however,
that the people will take the matter in
hand, and do for him that which he does
not deem it appropriate to do for himself.

were awarded on the high grade of 1914,
the successful contestants being Paul Seig,
of Virginia, and Edwin Sidney Werts, Of
South Carolina. Mr. Seig is a son of the

native of Augusta county"
The above paragraph appeared in the
VIReINIAN of the oath. In the statement
that Mr.. Paul Seig is a son of the late
Judge Seig, of Highland county, we were
mistaken. He is son of Henry B. Seig,
ESQ.,, of Churchville, who has served the
county for many years as Supervisor of
Pastures District, and is one of our most
useful and highly esteemed citizens. We
are pleased to claim so promising a young
man as the Greek medalist, as son of
old Augusta county, who we have no
doubt, in his future career, will reflect
credit on his native county. as we'll as his
honored father.

When the Democrats proclaim policy
of economy, and then assert that they
have adopted means to carry it into effect,
it must be taken with good many grains
of allowance. There is a trick concealed
somewhere. This was shown in the Sem
ate On Friday last. The Appropriation
bill was under consideration as it came
from the House, protesting to have re-
duced expenses 100000, when Mr.. Allison,
who is chairman of the Senate Appro-
priatiop Committee, gave some startling
figures to show how the Democratic House
claimed it had reduced this appropriation
$500, 900. He showed that of this amount
$525.05O is accounted for by the acts of
1885, and that the credit for it is not due
the present House. The remainder is in
small curtailments of salaries below the
rate fixed by law. just such as the drop
ping of 81 900 from the Baltimore Sub
treasury, as we'll as Boston, Chicago and
other cities, and here and there knocking
off clerks. Mr.. Allison said ''After the
labor of the Democratic Appropriation
Committee, they had only reduced the
number of clerks fourteen, because the
same act of March Sd, 1885, cut off 159 of
the 173 clerkships reduced by the bill. -
