The U. s. Supreme Court has just made
decision which is interesting in these
booming times when speculation in stocks
is rife. Most spectators are under the i'm
preston that the sale of their stock to an
other, transfers to the purchaser the liabili-
ty for the assessments yet to fall due. The
Supreme Court, Chief Justice Fuller deliv-
ering the opinion, decided that the original
stockholders are liable for the amount of
their subscriptions regardless of whether OF
not they have transferred their holdings.
The decision was made in the case of the
National Express and Transportation Com
pany's Trustee against VIM. J. Hawkins,
an original stakeholder. The company is
of Staunton and Baltimore origin, of twenty
years ago, and we believe there are about a
half-dozen stockholders yet in Augusta
who are affected by the decision.

President Harrison's administration
will not, after all, be run on the common
plane of former administrations 1t will
give the people something to talk about"
now and then. He has broken the record OF
all the Presidents of the United States, by
appointing his own brother, Carter B. Har-
rison, to be L. S. Marshal of the Middle
District OF Tennessee! To make yacan-
cy for this feat, he had to descend to the
level Of the spoils hunters OF both political
parties, and turn out a man who was, as
far as known, familiar with the duties of
the Office and qualified for their discharge
The President, it being a family affair, has
naturally said nothing about it. In fact all
he has said on the subject was said before
his election, in his letter of acceptance. AS
anything bearing on so remarkable feat
by a President Of the United States viii be
interesting, we copy what he said in that
letter:
''In appointments to every grade and de-
partment, fitness and not party service should
be the essential and discriminating test, and
fidelity and efficiency the only sure tenure of
office. Only the interest of the public service
should suggest removals from Office"
While the ''fitness'' of the Presidents
brother for his new position is not fully
guaranteed i'll the above extract; it is by
another fact. President Harrison's own
fitness for the Presidency was based chiefly
On the fact that his grandfather had held
- how
reasonably concluded if that was good
logic, then the fitness Of another grandson
for the post Of U. S. Marshal was equally
well proven.
The appointment, however, will have a
depressing effect on the Republican party.
The family connection is a large one, and
if it is to be first served it will be late in
1890 before the President will be able to get
to those outside of the fold.

A Crooked Pension Operator Captured.

On Thursday night, Chief of Police
Waters arrested VIM. Ward, well known
colored man of Norfolk, who is under in
dictment in that city and Alexandria for
frauds in pension matters He is tall,
finelooking man, wore a handsome Prince
Albert coat and dasEling watch and chain.
His appearance had so distinguished tone
that many of the colored people thought
when he was seen on his way to jail that
the police had committed the sacrilege OF
arresting the Bishop OF some other pfohll-
nent man of the African Methodist Epls-
copal Conference, which was IN session

There is very strong and it may be not I'M
reasonable impression that the investigation
into the affairs of the Western Insane Asylum
has resulted in such facts as should lead to
legal inquiry Therumors at least are serious.
If there are any guilty, let them be exposed.
If there are those upon whom suspicion rests
and who are innocent let them be Vindicated
Humanity is above all parties.-Isichna0nd
State.
In answer to the above, and to similar
expressions from many papers i'll the State
representing all parties Democratic, Re-
publican, Labor, and Independent, we may
say that there will be a full and searching
legal inquiry made into the late occurrences
at the w. L. Asylum, by a special Grand
Jury of the City Of Staunton; that such
grand jury would have been summoned for
this month, but for circumstances beyond
control; that it will be summoned for the
June term; that the City of Staunton in
her Commonwealth s Attorney, MI. A. G.
Braxton, has man who has never fiinched
in, nor been swerved from any Official
duty, and the people of this Common
wealth may feel perfectly safe that this Off
GER of the State will do his full duty. Ii
there have been crimes committed at the
Asylum, the punishment will surely follow;
if there have not, then that fact will be
made equally public in justice to the subject
OF the ''rumors'' to which the State refers.

THE F. F. V. TRAIN.

The East Flying Virginian' train which
appeared in Staunton for the first time,
Monday morning at 1913, was a splendid
specimen Of railroad luxury. 1t had six
cars, all of which are vestibuled There
was mail and express car, baggage car, q
day coach, q dining car, and two Pullmans.
They are all finished in the finest style of
car builders art; are upholstered in red
plush except the Pullmans, which are
upholstered in blue, and all are lighted by
electric light. With the exception Of the
Pullmans, the new cars are Of deep
orange color-the same color that has been
adopted by the Big -Four line. The Pullman
company refused to have their cars changed
from the old color. The initials of the
name of the train, ''F. T. w." ale paint
ed on the side of each new car. The fare on
the dining-car is said to rival the most
luxurious hotel in America, and every
evening at $40, just after the train leaves
the Cincinnati depot, dinner is served at q
general table.

the inclosure, thus having alternate posts
on either side Of the wires This method
serves to prevent the wires being pushed
off from either side.

On the Island of Jersey they feed par

not be too highly praised, not only be-

because Of the color it gives the butter.

about eight inches apart in the row.
