Smiths Index is still waging war on
the hog nuisance in Parkershurg, as
we see from several illustrations in
his paper, 1t is strange that public
sentiment is so hard to awaken to it's
own interests. People will tolerate
the greatest nuisances just because
they have grown to be part of their
daily existence. Why have laws
and ordinances if not for the public
good, and what good if not enforced.
How would the main streets of large
cities look with hogs and cattle feed.
ing in the them and Jimson weed
and burdock growing along the side
walks? There couldn't be much bust
ness in such places. A town that is
not clean and strict in all its surround
lngs, is no place for young men and
capital. A town is the shaper of its
own destiny, and too many of them
IKE Parkersburg let themselves drag
along for the want of healthy and
active public sentiment.

LOCAL OPTION.

The local-option bill, which was un-
der consideration at adjournment Mon
day, was the first matter of unfinished
business reached on the calendar. The
bill was passed by until ll:3O O'Clock
and subsequently to 1890. When the
latter hour arrived the bill was taken
up. There were several special orders.
and considerable confusion was the re-
sult-some thinking that one and some
that another had precedence. The
Chair ruled, however, that this bill,
which was a special and continuing or
der, and for the consideration Of which
the others were passed by, was en-
titled to precedence.
Just prior to adjournment on Mon
day, Mr.. Rhes moved to reconsider the
vote by which the sixth section, which
applies to distilleries, was adopted.
Mr.. Keezell moved to pass this mo-
ton by, and before a vote was taken
the Senate adjourned. So the question
yesterday would have recurred on Mr..
Keezell's motion to pass by, but he
withdrew the motion, so the question
was on the motion of Mr. Rhea to re-
consider.
Mr.. Rhea wanted his position thor
oughly understood. lie had voted for
the amendment, and he wanted that ac-
tion reconsidered. 1t was his opinion
that if this amendment was left in the
bill, it could not possibly pass both
houses Of the General Assembly. He
claimed that in the Committee on Gen
eral Laws this amendment had been Of
fered, voted for, and adopted by men
who are opposed to local option; and
he further contended that this amend
ment was eDgrafted for the purpose of
killing the bill, and if left in it that pur-
pose would be eiiectually accomplished.
lie construed the Democratic platform
as intended to refer to the sale and not
the manufacture of LIQUOR. He was not
only ready but anxious to comply
with this pledge and submit the ques-
ton to the popular will of the people
to be expressed at the polls. He hoped
the vote would be reconsidered.
Mr.. Meredith did not want to shirk
the responsibility that rested on him in
this matter. He was ready to vote on
the bill and to appear on the record.
He thought not dozen counties in the
State would adopt the provisions of the
bill if passed. He would vote for
proper local-option law, and he thought
If an amendment would be adopted ex-
empting malt liquors and domestic
wines from the operations Of this law
the reformation sought would be accom-
plished and people in Virginia would
be educated to temperance, as they
have been in other countries. In his dis
trict there were large vineyards and
malt.liquor manufactures, and he could

THE BALLOTS.

Mr.. Mccormick to reconsider the vote
by which the committees amendment
proposing change in the ballots was
rejected, which was passed by on Mon
day, came up.
Mr.. Heaton wished to speak to this
amendment, and owing to the lateness
of the hour, wished the subject passed
by.
After considerable discussion, the
entire subject was passed by.
FROM THE HOUSE.
A message was received from the
House of Delegates by Mr.. Stuart, who
informed the Senate that the House had
passed bill to amend, &C., the Code
Of 1873 in relation to services Of process
against or notice to corporation.
Another message was received by
Mr.. A. Fulkerson that the House had
passed bill providing for the annual
sales of lands returned delinquent sub.
sequent to the year 1885.
