Two Of them were out on TIC south

a scarcity Of food for the winter makes
it hard to sell even mt very low price.
Cattle are fat and looking wei. but the

two head of cattle being killed by the

them with cloth saturated with coll-oil.

The Norfolk landmark concludes
that General MAHoyE's intense ego
tisin has led him into taking the nomi-
nation for Governor ct the hands of bis
followers" There can be no question
about MAHoyE's egotism. hut at the same
time there can 6e no question about his
extreme caution. We are therefore in
clincd 10 think that pledges from Wash
ington had more influence upon his
course than his cgotism. There IS pro-
baby moro in the little bosss accept
ance than now appears on the surface.
The plot against Virginia and the solid
South is, it is safe to assume, deep laid
and has many ramiications.

Work on the Streets.

When contracts are let for city paving
or other street repairs the specifications
should state the time in which the work
or sections Of the work must be COM
pleted after having been began. under q
heavy forfeiture for every day the work
remains incomplete after the lapse Of
the stated time. The time should be as
brief as in the opinion OF the City En-
gineer the work could be with all posi-
BILE expedition and ample force com
pleted. When the work is done by the
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1889-08-24

city itself the Engineer should specify
the time for given piece of work, am
pie force for the greatest expedition
should be provided, and for any failure
in completing in time the official or boss
in charge should be held responsible.
The payment Of o heavy penalty in the
one case and a dismissal or two IN the
other would work wonders.

A Berlin cablegram says that " Portu-
gal and Germany are negotiating with
each other with the view to the forna-
ton Of an alliance" If Germany en-
tcrs into IN alliance with Portugal II
will probably be for the purpose on the
part Of Germany Of forcing Portugal
not to continue to make goose of her
self in respect of the matter Of interior
ing with English schemes in Southeast
Africa. Nothing now seems clearer
than that Germany is determined to
have Englard's friendship, no matter
what the price for it that will have to
be paid in African territory.

The Wilmington q. CO. Messenger, in
reviewing the Virginia situation, says:
CAS- between the Malone gang and

The New York Times Thus concludes
a review OF the work Of MAHoNE's con-

"The nomination of Malone for the
head of the ticket gives TO the contest in

are quite desirable. 1t is the Democratic
party against HIM and his machine"
The TImcs might have gone further
ana stated that the contest is the Demo
cratic party against the Administration
machine.

The latest device Of the Mahoncites is
TO make it appear that John NJ. Lang
ston is in accord with General Malone
and intends to support the nominee Of
the Norfolk Convention 81 was IN an
earnest and friendly conversation with
Langston last night, said on anti-Ma-
hone leader today, "and ! can assert
most positively that he is not in sympa-
thy with General Malone - The fact Of
the business is that rebellion against the
Norfolk nominee is not only Matching,
but IS almost full-heiged. \ significant
straw is discoyerable in the fact that one
of the most prominent Of the anti Ma
hone leaders this morning, in a conspicu-
ous place, offered to bet two to one,
either 81 600 or 500, that General Ma
hone would be defeated at the No
vember election. The bet found no
takers. although there were Malone
sympathizcrs present.

PETERSBURG, August %, 1889.
The Malone people here profess to be
greatly olated over the nomination OF
the little General. and AFFECT to believe
that he will "organize victory. - But 1t
is as certain as anything can bc that the
grca, body of the negroes here are not
as enthusiastic "a they might be. They
accept tho nomination not with cheers
but with stolid silence, although few Of
them have been hurrahing for Malone
on the streets to-day, and have tried to
create the impression that they were
consumed with Joy.
