FRIDAY MORNING. JULY IL. 1889.

Corporal Tanner is fast reducing all the
chances of the Government to have any
surplus in its Treasury to be legislated
out of existence by Congress this winter.
The Corporal seems to think that the ''old
soldier racket, !" as it is irreyerently called,
IS the panacea for the plethora which pre-
vailed, and that all claims that come, OF
pretend to come, under that head have a
stronger footing than the laws of Congress.
The possibilities seem to be that the Cor
poral is on his way to be inquired into
when Congress meets. 1t is certain that
under no civilized government in the world
could such decisions as are now being
made in the Pension Department, pass
unquestioned. Gen. Benz. Harrison once
said in the Senate that pensions should moi
be weighed with ''apothecary scales" but
he and Tanner seem now to have come tt
the conclusion that they should not bt
weighed, at all, but just shoveled into The
pockets of the claimants.
The idea seems to be to buy a SECOND
term outright, as the first was bought
only the first time it was done on the popu
lar subscription plan of Wanamaker, and
the second time it is to be paid for directly
from the National Treasury. The Ameri
can people viii sooner or later understand
what unnecessary taxation taken from
them leads to in the way of official e2tray-
agance.

Hon. John Randolph Tucker.

The Hon. John Randolph fuckers ac-
ceptance of the law professorship at Wash
ington and Lee is duly appreciated by the
press throughout the United States, and
many fine editorials s1e appearing. Henry
Watterson in the Courier-Journal says:
'EMr. Tucker needs no introduction to
the public. Sprung from an illustrious
legal line, the grandson of st. George Tuck
Ell, the celebrated author of Tucker S
Blackstone, and the son of Henry st.
George Tucker, one of the elect of our law
writer's, as well as the nephew and name
sake of John Randolph, of Roanoke,
he has made deep and lasting
record of his own, first, during ten years
as Attorney General of Virginia, and
latterly, during twelve years as dis
tinguished and brilliant member of the
National House of Representatives. His
withdrawal from active public life can be
better afforded since he will bestow the
fruits of his great experience and learning
upon the enrichment Of our stock of sound
economics, and upon the rearing of Il gen
Grafton of lawyers and statesmen in just
principles of jurisprudence and political
science. Washington and Lee is to be
congratulated. decidedly.n

offered the following paper, which was
adopted by the union:
In view of the recent occurrences in Ou1
midst we, the Ministerial Union, feel con
strained to adopt the following resolutions
1. Resolved, That we proclaim our alb
horrence of the murder, adultery, and al
the deeds of violence which defile the land
with blood and violate the laws Of God and
man, and deprecate all demonstrations
that seem to sanction them.
2. Resolved, That we will endeavor to
stimulate the public conscience by setting
forth the Divine law against the reckless
shedding of human blood and the curse
that the law entails upon the community
which refuses to punish crime.
3. Resolved, That we invoke the pulpit
throughout the city and State to unite with
us in putting down the deeds of violence
which have so often disgraced our land
and exposed us to the just rebuke of those
who honor the commands, ''Thou shalt not
kill'' and "Thou shalt not commit adul-

Charlottesville Chronicle: There passed
through our streets recently the most woe
BECOME, utterly wretched-l looking couple of
white people we have ever beheld They
were man and woman. Both of them
seemed to be we'll advanced in age, botl
were clad in very filthy habiliments
both were barefooted, and both carried huge
bundles, presumably their bedding The
woman led the way, while the man limped
on behind. Attached to slender cord was
spotted hound puppy, which showed the gen
eral characteristics of its owners. Its sides
resembled the ribs of a washboard, and its
long ears Tapped around listlessly as it swung
around the woman in its unsteady gait. The
couple did not seem to be conscious of the
figure they were presenting to the street and
went on careleSsly.
The citizens of Mt. Clinton, a precinct neal
Harrisonburg, who voted with that town in the
Late local option election and gave ma iorit,
of forty-one for license, are now raising a row
since that district has gone wet Two years
ago the same precinct gave ninety -nine ma.
jority against license. The State Republican
says: "This remarkable change in few
months may be held as indicative of the sen.
timent of the community ON the question at
issue But our Mt. Clinton friends don't take
it that way They make wry faces at the
medicine they have fixed up for others. Even
those who are said to be fond of the wet re-
freshments emphatically declare that they
will positively tar and feather any man who
takes them at their vote and undertakes to
open saloon in their quiet village"
The Rev. Wilbur L. Davidson, the we'll

interesting story about revival he once held
in the mountains of Pennsylvania. One of
the converts was butcher, who had been a
very rough and profane man. In his new
found enthusiasm he began to make prayers
of inordinate length. MI Davidson remon-
strated with him, but though the convert
promised to shorten his prayers he failed to
keep his promise. Finally, after an mus

again, reminding him Of his promise eyes, !"

Cox of New ork, a representative Nation
al Democrat, spent his Fourth in one of
the new States in the far West, about to he

Republican, spent his Fourth of July in
one OF the venerable New England States,

STAUNTON, JuIy 5, 1859.
EDITOR VINDIcAToR: If you will allow me
space in your paper will call the attention OF
grocers to outrage being perpetrated here in
our city that should demand their immediate
action. Some few weeks since an agent for the
Soanine Manufacturing Co. made our city a
visit with the hope of establishing said powder
in this market. /, like several Others, purchased
the soap powder ! discovered later crew of
men, with baskets filed with soapine, going from
DOR to door selling identcally the same article,
telling the consumer that the package they the
crew. sell have two ounces more than those sold
by the grocers. This manner of doing business,
carried on by this company, must necessarily in
lure the grocer Why? 1t keeps at home many
a purchaser who, if not thus supplied, would
patronize our merchants.
Must grocers, who have worked hard for years
and years. be now swamped by an army of ped
dlers? | would here advise the trade to discon-
tinue the sale of any article that he knows to be
pedded If the manufacturer refuses to protect
us we must stand together and protect ourselves

ing pedder. D. H. LEE.
