Corruption in the last Republican Cam
paigu.


AS the Norfolk Landmark says, ssthere is
nothing better known than the corruption
practiced in the Republican campaign. It
is capable of demonstration. The investi-
cation of the ceiling fraud in the State of
New York has brought out incidentally
some remarkable testimony on this point.
The evidence is from high Republican
source, too, and cannot be discredited. 1t
is from no less person than the Honorable
Speaker Cole, of the House of Delegates,
now in session. Being pressed uucomfort-
| ably by an investigating committee made
up of members of his own party, in respect
70 his bank account, which was charged to
have direct relation to amounts paid the
ceiling contractors, the Speaker, addressing
himself to a question of high privilege, on
Friday said, among other things by way of
explanation, the following
"Then the State Committee. in it's kind
ness, in its generosity, realizing the fact /
presume, that l was in the native county
OF Gov. Hill, that we have large vote that
IS questionable, sent quite large amount
OF money into that county. Of course, my
friends, perhaps that was not a wise thing.
Perhaps it was not a wise thing for me to
be the receiver of that money Yet have
explained the facts. l have withheld moth
ling have told Mr.. Seward and the other
attorney the places where that money came
from. 1t came from Republicans, high up
in official life; il came. large part Of it
almost all of it, with the exception of few
hundred dollars-from the State Committee.
and yet they say that should be explained"
Here we have conclusive admission
| from the highest Republican authority that
the Republican Executive Committee sent
large sums of money into Governor HILLS
county, TO be dsbursed through the hands
of the present Republican Speaker of the
| Assembly, for the purpose of controlling
| the election IN favor of the Republicans aud
against the Democrats. His bank account.
he declares, was swelled by these remit
tances with which he was entrusted by bis
party authorities for the purpose of corrupt
ing The ballot. Is anything more than this
confession needed to fix upon the Republi.
can party the charge of purchasing the elec-
tioo?
This is a bitter-rot at the core of the
I American apple, and unless the people take
| in hand measures for relief from it, the time
is not far off when the tree, as well as the
fruit. shall be in a state of hopeless decay
Money in elections must be gotten rid of, if
we hope to perpetuate republican govern
ment."

WHY Is it SOP

A few years since the farmers of Augusta
county held public meeting in the Court
H ,use to consider the situation of their in.
terests. The two principal crops, wheat
and hay, we're not selling at profitable
prices. 1t was decided to advise move
meut in favor of cresmeries. Information
Was sought and promulgated concerning
the dairying interest. The result was sue
cesfnl SO far as the establishing of a few
creameries. No publications have been
made of their progress OF PROFITS. The in
terest in them seems to be falling. Why
SO? DairSiDg is one business, raising beef
catte is another. This valley is good
country for both. Is there not dairy cow,
80 to speak? If her culture is recognized,
as she deserves, would not the oreameries
then be enabled better to procure the Qnan-
tity and quality of cream desired and render
them more profitable aud inviting to larg-
er growth. The authorities we read on
this question sustain that view. We know
nothing practically of the question, but it
seems to US there are farmers in Augusta
county who can speak from experience, and
they should do SO. Instead Of two cream.
cries there should have been ten or more
planted over the county, if all that was
published of their value few years ago is
correct. The Information then promulgated
was furnished under the light OF practice
and experience in Loudoun county and
other sections of country. 1t has never been
withdrawn, and therefore still exists as
truth, but it seems the line of progress in
sustaining this valuable industry has pot
been followed. Let us have light.

rolitics. Continuing. the Colonel said he
was true civil service reformer; that if he
had been in Mr.. Harrison's place he would
have made but seven changes-the cabinet
"fficers, and that When vacancies occurred
he would have filled them with good and

however, any civil service examination"

The W ashingron correspondent of the

says -
''Mr. John Wise is in the city to-day
He was with HIS brother, DIR. Richard Wise

The day after Mr.. Hafrison's Inaugural
ton the large number of Virginia repubi-
cans then in this city met in room in the
Metropolitan Hotel and divided such
federal patronage as they then supposed
would fall to Virginia among themselves,
each man selecting the place be wanted, so
that there might be no rivalry. They were
in the best possible spirits, and were conf
dent that ere this they would be drawing
large salaries. Indeed they acted like the
negroes after Lincoln's emancipation proc
lamation; believed they had the world in a
sling and that to get anything, it was only
requisite to ask for it. A sad change has
come over the spirit of their dreams. Hope
deferred has made their hearts sick. Those
whose money has given out have gone
back home with no high opinion of the
Harrison administration, and those whose
purses still hold out are sorry looking

about the hotels and restaurants, not know
ing what to do. and with nobody to tell
them. They are utterly green" and as
ignorant of the successful ways and means
Of Office seeking as they are of the differen-
tial calculus. They don't even know how
to present their applications, and have the
most remarkable ideas concerning the value
of endorsements. One of them, an appli.
cant for postoffice In the southwest
portion of his State, has no local endorse
ment, and only that of Colonel Brady and
Mr.. Gaines, of the Petersburg district.
Another one, DR.. Niche, of Albemare, as
stated in this correspondence of yesterday.
in dead seriousness asked Col. Mosby to
endorse his application for the Hong Kong
consulate, telling him if he would do so, he
would recommend h,m for that at Picking

that most of them, though they will take
anything they Can get, originally set their
hearts on places they are utterly incompe-

CRIMINAL NOTES.

Officer Stephenson arrested man
named J. Mcfarland, on Also street,
last night, for exhibiting a deadly
weapon in an angry and threatening
manner and not in his necessary self
defense. Mcfarland, who was intoxicated,
brandished huge knife and threatened
to ''cut the heart out Of" the first man
who dared to interfere with him.
J. Scott and P. johnson became in
volved in an alteration on New High
street, last night about 9 O'Clock, and
attempted to settle their difficulty in the
most approved pugilistic manner. While
engaged in this pastime they failed to
notice the approach of Officer Bosqui
who placed both men under arrest for
fighting and took them to the Police
Station.
A boy named F. Siebert was brought
up from Santa Monica, yesterday, and
lodged in the County Jail charged with
having obtained money under false pre-
lenses. He is alleged to have entere d
one of the dreseing-rooms at the bath
house, during the absence of the rightful
occupant, who was bathing, and stolen
some small change from the pockets Of
the garments left there.

A WORD OF CAUTION.

In this as in every other locality where it is
Known there are hundreds of persons who are
taking joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla. To those
we want to say one word In nine cases out OF
every ten it is effecting specific cures. But word
comes to us occasionally of people who report
that it operates too freely upon the bowels.
We want to call the attention of those to the fact
that they are not following the printed instruc-
tions and are taking too much of it. If it acts
too freely reduce the dose, never taking any
more at any time than causes easy and perfect
action Keep this injunction in mind, and take
1t regularly for while and do not indulge in too
much greasy food, and we will have your testi-
monial within a fortnight. If taken under these
conditions it is an absolute cure for indigestion,
dyspepsia, sick headaches, constipation, face
eruptions and liver and kidney disorders II
may be asked how it can possibly cure so many
ailments. But the reason is clear. All those
troubles are the legitimate result of improper
liver and kidney action or impaired digestive
organs. Its effects upon those functions are as
astonishing to the medical fraternity as to the
thousands who are daily taking it.

The length of the Thames champion.
ship course is four miles and 900 yards
not four miles and quarter, as has been
enormously stated London Sporting
Life.
And the legion of the middleweighte
who now "want to fight La Blanche" is
only equalled by the mob who "would be
pleased to arrange a fight with Demp.
sey."
Jim Fell, who refused to fight Mervine
Thompson because of suspicion that
he was alf-breed, recently fought the
"Black Diamond" in Wisconsin. Ad-
versity evidently wipes out distinctions.
Steve Farrell, who has returned from
England, where he met with consider.
able success at running under the name
of Donovan, declares that he will wait
for L. E. Myers to get into condition and
run him half mile for any amount.
Howell, the English bicyclist cham
pion, last week, beat the mile record,
doing the distance in 2 minutes 81 Is
seconds, which is an advance of 3-5 of a
second upon the previous record.
Hitherto the holder of the mile record
has nearly always been an amateur.
Much interest is being taken by the
local sports in the projected fight be-
tween Pete Mccoy and Ed. Cufe, which
is announced for next month, Mccoy is
undoubtedly clever pugilist and has the
reputation of being bad man to beat.
His opponent, though somewhat lacking
in science, is quick in getting in his pow
erful right arm and, should he give evil
dence of the staying powers with which
he is accredited, will make the fight an
interesting one.
The Danforth- Soto fight, which takes
place on Thursday night next, at the
rooms of the Southern California Ath.
letic Club, promises to be very interesting.
Danforth has the advantage of his op-
ponent as regards experience, which
accounts for his being constituted favor
lie at odds of 10 to 6. Soto, however,
is game and wary, in addition to which
he is ambitious to shine in the galaxy of
light-weights.
The time of the Sesrle o Conner match
is the second best on record over the
Thames championship course in race.
The fastest was Beach's %: 20 against
Gaudaur. Searle's time to Hammer
smith bridge, 8:38, beat the record by
four seconds. The fastest time over the

CATARRH.

CATARRH.
Catarrn is often regarded by the patient as
cold the head, and he often expresses his
contract fresh cold. Indeed he declares he
is scarcely free from one cold before he takes
another; and he is always exceedingly care
full 1t Is also a matter of surprise to him that
the cold always seems to settle in the head and
the throat.
At times many of the symptoms of catarrh
may seem to abate, and the patient Is led to
hope that the disease is about to wear off; but
another class of symptoms soon appear, and
he learns to his horror that instead of recov-
in Its character, and has extended to the throat.
A sense of WEAKNESS is sometimes felt in read
ing speaking or singing, hoarseness at times
felt In the throat, or it appears that some
foreign substance, as, for instance, o hair OBJ
structed the throat; there becomes sense of
little exertion,. short. hacking cough, a
peculiar sound in clearing the throat, feeling
as though there was not room enough in the

consumption is about to begin its dreadful
