Xxx The brethren OF Virginia are
waxing warm over the political stu
alton. That the democrats are
sanguine is apparent from every
report seen in the newspapers of the
State. The main trouble to be
apprehended is, that too much rely
ance may be placed in the strength
of the ticket and not sufficient credit
given the opposition. 1t is fatal to
overestimate your own strength or
underestimate that of your enemy.
1t produces apathy and apathy, in
any election in any State; however
the size of the majorities, is danger
Gus to the best interests of the party
and consequently damaging to the
business interests of the people. No
man, approaching the Importance Of
continuing the Democratic party in
power, can afford to be inactive in
this campaign and no man should
rely entirel y upon the ticket, in the
field, to do the whole work Of the
party in the campaign. The hands
of the candidates should be held up
by the best energies of the people
and their efforts should be seconded
by the best talent of the State. We
honestly believe this to be necessary
and essentially so because, Bill Ma
hone and his cohorts will move ali
the powers of darkness to aid them
in their efforts to supplant the truth
and will bring to their assistance all
the wiles ever wrought in devilish
effort to dethrone the enemy of Their
hopes and the object of their unmiri
gated displeasure. Bill Malone is a
"StrOng man armed in Virginia
and he who doubts it, makes a mis-
take. Filled with trick and backed
by money, he is dangerous in any
field where the voice Of the dema-
gogue will be listened to or, at any
election where the honest eye, weary
OF its watching, shall be turned from
its duty at the ballot box even for a
moment. His birth, raising and ed
uCation fit him for the roll of the
artful politician whose appeals to
prejudice and passion are made efec-
tive by the very history Of his own
being. Smart enough to be civil,
informed enough to teach, and polite
enough always to command an au-
dience, he can efectually insinuate
himself in the esteem of any people
who, content with the superfcies, will
not look beyond to find the venal
motives which move the man. Let
him only be watched and exposed by
the people, one and all, who know
his character and his political record,
as he will be by the gallant men
chosen to lead the patriot hosts of
the Democracy in the present hghI,
and you will find on the evening of
election day his sun setting amid
the gloom of the dark hills which
trend the border land of eternal OBJ
liviOn.

* 1t will be seen that DR.. Eu-
gene Gr;ssom, Superintendent N. G.
Insane Asylum, has resigned. His
successor will be elected Sept. nth.
The question now arises who
will succeed the DR.. in his charge Of
the institution? The State is full of
good material and from this abun-
dance it is difficult to select.
DIR. Fuller is man of experience and
worthy the place. He is preemi-
nently qualified and has contributed
as much to the success of the insti-
tuition as any man of known connec-
ton Herewith. We would like to
see him rewarded both for his sacri-
fee, his patriotic record and his
efficiency as we'll.
Will DR.. J. H. Tucker accept the
position? 1fso. we need leave Raj
eigh no farther than Henderson to
find man who, in every respect is
as safe as safety itself and as sound
as the very rock-beds of truth. Com.
ing down from Henderson we find in
Warrenton man, in the person Of
DIR. 6. a. Foote, eminently fitted
for any place requiring the best
skill of the profession. We might
come on down through Halifax,
Northampton, Hartford and in each
of these we could find efficiency and.
on arriving in Birtee, we could lay
hands on Capehart and find eternal
fitness. Chowan has Winborne az
good and as trusty as ever drew a
scalpel or compounded a prescrip-
ton. We might take the East
through, county by county, and we
would not fail in finding fit subjects
for professional prefermeut and
worthy patriots deserving any place.
We are gratihed to know that the
medical fraternity in North Carolina
is splendid in its material, making the
State rich in its resource and Justly
proud of its possessions.

Xxx 1t is now admitted by Re-
publican dispatches that the testi-

Committee on the West Virginia
contest msures a report in favor of

for Governor. Votes have been
thrown out impartially on both
sides wherever they were illegally
cast. Fraudulent intent was not
charged, the irregularities having
arisen by the polling of ballots in the

in technical violation of law. The

GONE WITH THE REST.

The Extra Appropriation Voted to
 the Fire Commissioners Is Gone
 and Bills of About SI.OOO Remain
 to Be Paid.
 Members of the incoming court of common council, who will be called upon to stand by the board of fire com missionerS in their efforts to diSorganlze the city's volunteer department will find food for reflection in the record of the commissioners who are trying to lnf1lct the ''calf' system upon the city.
 At the beginning of the year an appro- priation of S9, 900 with an additional S3- 900 for the purchase of hook and lad der truck was set aside for the main tenance of the department. Two months ago the commissioners reported that the appropriation was exhausted and asked for and received an extra approprlatlor of S2 300 to carry the department untl January, making S14,5O0 appropriated for fire purposes dnrlng the year. The November bills reduced the amount un expended to S7l463, and at last nights meeting of the board, bills to the amount of S1 ,61S.55 were received, the commlS SiOnerS having once more exceeded the appropriation to the extent of S963. 92 Since January 1, 1889 the commissioners have expended S3. 463 92 more than they "SiC alIoNS Si by tiiS oA hhe'A "PPA tion.
 At the meeting last night the commis- sioners spent much time in discussing bills that should have been presented IT previous months. and passed a vote that in future all bills must be presented monthly. The object of this action was to lead people to believe that the pay ment of old bills was responsible for the condition of the finances at this time. We have taken the trouble to examine the claims presented at last nights meeting and find bills to the amount of about $50 which should have been passed upon in previous months. The remaining bills for over Sl 500 were for salaries. work done and materials fur nished the present month.
 The board has been most eXtravagant in the use of the city's money, making no effort to keep within the appropria- tion for the past few months.
 The question arises, if the present de- pertinent costs the city Sl5, ,963.9 92 a year, how much more will be required to pro- perly conduct the "calf' system? The commissioners say S1 500 a year will do 1t, and propose to hire men for fifteen cents day to protect the city from the fire tiend.
 The first duty of the new board of common council should be to promptly put the screws upon the board of fire commissioners.

 The wrestling match at the rink last night between Henry keating of this city and William Gibbons OI Naugatuck was won by the former who secured two falls to none for his adversary. The men came together at S::}0 and at once settled down 10 business. Gibbons appeared much heavier than keating, but less agile, and allowed the Waterbury boy tC secure a good body hold. In three min utes Gibbons was floored for the first time.

IT DID NOT WORK.

The Scheme to Consolidate the Jersey
City and Louisville Clubs Fell Through.
The scheme to consolidate the Jersey
City Club of the Atlantic Association with
the Louisville Club of the American Asso
citation, under the management of sole
proprietor Patrick 7. Powers, of the
former club, received a set back yesterday
afternoon at the meeting held by the
American Association in the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, New York city. A disposition was
shown by those in attendance to take
hold of the Louisville Club and run it as
the property of the Association if Man
ager Davidson finds it impossible to SO do
himself.
MIR. Davidson still has hopes of securing
some of the Jersey City players. The ones
that he ants now, and which he will no
probably get on account of the price, are
Daley and Burke. Failing to get these
men he will try to get some of the South
ern League players. He now has an agent
after Daley, but it is a question If he can
be had, for the slight chance that the Jer-
sey City Club has for Sunday games will
cause Manager Powers to hold ON to his
men. In case the Sunday game scheme
does not pan out, then any one who wants
the players can have them. At least such
is the impression in the baseball world.
