Lord Randolph Churchill has SO conducted
himself politically during the last few years
that neither Of the great parties in the British
house Of commons has felt any assurance in
laying claim to him. By his recent speech at
Walsall he has marched himself right into the
socialist camp, and We may expect soon to
hear the Hyde park and Trafalgar square agi-
tators hailing him as one of themselves. He
proposed a revision of the laws so as to prevent
the bequeathing of land by will; to authorize
the purchase by municipalities, by the exercise
of eminent domain. of large tracts Of land, on
which comfortable houses for workingmen are
to be built and rented at a rate duly proper
toned to the cost of the improvements; and to
cause the regulation by the state of the hours
OF labor for men, women and children IL
some smudge-faced, frowsy-haired, hulking
fellow had acclaimed such ideas from the top
Of a barrel to a crowd Of his own sort, the Do
lice would have eagerly sought an excuse for
his arrest; but Lord Randy" well-dressed, WELL
fed, and allied to one Of the most illustrious
houses in the peerage, Is treated only as an er-
ratio gentleman, who viii one day find his way
back TO the place and the atmosphere in which
he belongs.

Singular that General Rosser never discoy-
cred until after he went back among his north
ern friends in Minnesota that all the newspa-
pers misquoted the ridiculous rebel speeches
he made in Baltimore and other southern cities
on festive occasions last spring. The reports
as published were evidently all right for the
latitude Of Maryland and Virginia, but seemed
to be all wrong up in the northwest, where, after
the war, the General was enabled TO recruit his
fallen fortunes by the aid of northern capital
and enterprise, and where he had number OF
pleasant business and social associates General
Rosser doesn't Of course mean to be two-faced
and probably is not, but he doubtless realizes
by now that shooting of ones mouth at long
range and saying things to the fellows face are
two quite different affairs

IL is remarked, by observers Of the peach
growing region of Maryland and Delaware,
that the crop this year will be Of fair proper
lions. but that the bulk of it will come from
the orchards on high lands. Those on the
lower levels, owing to their later blooming,
were caught by the heavy rains which have
distinguished this season, and great numbers of
blossoms so injured that they never matured.
It is noted that the ''yellows" have not pre-
vailed in peach orchards this year to the usual
extent, and the fact is attributed to the mild
winter. Concerning the apple crop
Of New York, whence a large portion
of the supply Of our neighborhood
comes, the reports are discouraging
The good yield of last year, following upon
one of exceptional size in 1887, seems to have
exhausted the bearing vitality of the trees, and
possibly the high temperature of January and
February has injured the apple crop as much
as it improved the peach crop. The two fruits
appear to thrive under precisely opposite eli
matte conditions. From Michigan. where the
frosts and biting winds of winter more nearly
approached the normal standard last season.
good accounts are given of the northwestern
apple country. The crop promises to be as
large as usual. There will be an uncommon
multitude Of consumers to satisfy, however,
with those apples which are raised in any part
of our country. 1t probably interests Boston
to learn that the bean crop is in bad shape in
New York. but that Michigan and California

Baltimore is in the throes of yigorou

Baltimore is in the throes of vigorous
liquor controversy. There has been so steady
a multiplication of saloons and so much dis
order and lawlessness traceable to them, that
an effort will be made to induce the next legis-
lature to enact high license law. The COM
plant is made that local option, which is the
system now in vogue in the state, and under
which several counties Of the state have
adopted prohibition, does not answer for the
large cities. This is undoubtedly true. The
solution of the liquor question for cities seems
to rest in high license, which can be enforced
and which, without abolishing the liquor
traffic, regulates it by reducing the number Of
dramshops and improving their quality. But
local option does serve its purpose admirably
in smaller communities, where the enforce
ment of any law depends upon its having
strong public sentiment behind it. When the
people of a county decide for themselves
whether they wish to license liquor selling
or;not, they do not vote for a rule which they
cannot, and do not intend to, stand by. The
effect of such local regulation is obvious on
crossing the line between a county where Ii
censes are freely granted and one where the
whole traffic is forbidden. We have an ex-
ample right in our own neighborhood which
can be observed by any one who follows the
18th street road, for instance, out far enough to
enter Montgomery county, Md. The transition
is sufficiently marked to attract the notice
even of one who had no idea where the district
ends and the state begins. The same marked
contrast is noticeable between the ''wet' and
"dry" counties of the state. The wonderful
growth, for instance, Of Montgomery county,
which is filling up its whole extent with
beautiful homes and orderly intelligent enter
prising communities, takes its date from the
time when the people of the county voted to
abolish that demoralizing plague spot, the
country grog-shop.

THE DIFFERENT EFFECTS. AS the Nor
folk Landmark says, "there is not materi-
al interest in the State that would not be
injured; not an enterprise that would not
be crippled; not q foot of land that would
not be deprecated; not dollar invested
that would not shrink; not public institu-
ton that would not be hurt; not a taxpayer
that would not feel the shock to his pocket
book; not husbandman who would not
feel discouraged; not a railroad that would
not be in danger if General Malone and a
General Assembly of his favorites should
get control of Virginia.
On the other hand, there is 10 interest
nor enterprise nor institution nor individu,
al that depends upon order and honesty in
public affairs that would not feel the i'm
pulse of new life and the impetus of newly
acquired strength and stability, in the eec.
tion of Mckinney and a trustworthy, intel

A CoLoRED MAN ON MALONE The
Lyuchburg Neaos says well-known and
Influential colored man of Farmville, Tai.
Branch, does nottake any stock in Malone.
He understands the ex-senator from head
to foot, through and through. He said re.
Gently that, should Langston retract snd
aid the candidacy of Maho ne, he would feel
disposed to lose faith in his own race.
Notwithstanding Langston's fop, Branch
remains firm. At mass meeting in Farm
vile the other night he said, with great
bitterness:
~ shall not vote for Malone, and shall
do whatever can to persuade others not to
do so.
'1n my heart Of hearts believe that the
election of Malone would prove the great
est moral and political curse that could be-
fall this Commonwealth.
''If were put upon oath to find man
whose heart was stepped with villainy to
curse our race, to Malone | would point.
81 believe it would be moral sin against
God Almighty to vote for this ballot box
stuffer, whose stock in trade is depravity,
as much so as it is the trade of the devil"
Branch was frequently interrupted by
cries of, ''That's sop $50 for himp'

The Democrats Determined and Hopeful.
Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch
PETERSBURG, VA, Sept 9th, 1889.

PETERSBURG, VA, Sept 9th, 1889.
Reports received here from the various
counties in this section represent the Dem
ocrats as buoyant and hopeful and as de-
termined to do even better in this campaign
than they did in the memorable canvass of
last fall. 1t will not be long before a
thorough organization will be effected in
every county and in every district, and
with satisfactory ticket to work for and
an unsatisfactory one to work against a
surprisingly strong vote will be cast. Signs
of activity are apparent on every side, the
same old undaunted spirit is manifested,
and nowhere in more determined aspect
than in and around the city where the Re-
publican candidate lives.
| A striking feature about the deliberations
| of the recent Republican conference held
at the residence of General Malone in this
city was its secrecy. A plan of organization
is reported to have been considered and
adopted, and yet no one outside of the
faithful who composed the conference know
anything about it, and probably will not
until an official PRONUNCIATION is made. An
other striking fact is the retention of Gen.
eral Malone as State chairman. This
means much, and in more ways than one.
The Democrats here feel much encourag.
ed by Mr.. Barbour's address published in
the Dispatch of this morning. They have
such confidence in Mr.. Barbour's ability as
a leader that even his temporary assump
ton of the duties of State chairman gives
cause for increased hope of victory. AND
this because they have followed him to vic
tory in so many campaigns.
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1889-09-11

The New York Times correspondent,
writing from Charlottesville, says that Gen.
Malone was not noted for his horseman.
ship during the war; that he usually rode
in an ambulance with q mich COW hitched
behind. We do not know what truth there
Is in this, bit it is a palpable fact that the
General makes mich COW of every public
enterprise he touches. He made COW out
of the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio rail
road and out of the Readjuster party. He
made a mich COW out Of tt e State of Vir-
ginia and OF the United States Senate as
long as he could. He has often led that old
stripper, the National Republican Commit
tee. at ths end of his Virginia party ambul-
ance, and he is hitching mp to do it again.
This time President Harrison will act as
wheel-horse to the vehicle. The General
always drives and always attends to the
milking three times day. The State of
Virginia is as attractive to his eye now as o
fresh Jersey, and he longs for the time
when he shall be able to support his whole
political family on the milk he gets from
her. But she is Democratic cow and
may kick.-Norfok Landmarks.
