The Orange Observer strikes the right
keynote when it suggests that the news
papers Of this State form an association to
protect themselves against the foreign
advertising agents. Our views coincide
with those advanced by our Tuckahoe
neighbor exactly. The greater majority
of Virginla's country weeklies have Just
ahout reached their lowest ebb caused by
the nonopOlizing Of the columns by the
foreign advertising sharks, who get their
work done at insignificant prices which
the publisher must take ont IN material
and oftentimes beating them out OF that.
These foreign advertisements are IN near
" all cases taken at lower rate than
that charged for home work. This IL
probably because the foreign man sends
an slectrotype, generally on wood base'
which warps and causes no end Of trouble,
and in the end jumps out and mashes sew
eral sticks Of type. Another bugbear IS
this Along comes an agent all smiles.
What will the publisher take Tor spool
fed space 7 The publisher states a fair
price. To this the agent outwardly
makes e big TO do, claiming that neigh
boring newspapers have given him the
space at rates lower than you, and pro-
! duces the contract. Well, in consequence,
YOU come to the conclusion that II your
neighbor can get out at such figures you
ought to. and 10 you become willing
I victim 70 the sharper's racket. To pre-
vent being thus taken in it is necessary
that the publishers Of the Old Dominion
form an association, like those in vogue
ia other States, not only to bring them
u carer together and exchange ideas but
most especially TO form an alliance against
the foreign advertiser, who seeks to gam
! adj mission into our columns, and rarely
fails. at ruinoas prices TO us. 1t is hoped
that an organization like the O6'srre'
supgcsts-for it il the only way for Fir-
ginia papers to get out Of the mre they
arc now hoels oyer head in-may DO IN

WINCHESTER ITEMS.

The Reformed church IN this place IS to
be thoroughly repaired about the 18th OF
June.
A large crowd is expected to attend
memorial services today, the 3Oth. Sew
eral prominent speakers from distance
will be present.
Col. Joseph A. Mutton, who was before
the board Of military examination at
Richmond, has returned home. We un-
derstand he passed a splendid examina-
ton.
Work ended on the new railroad Mon
dsy. The hands were all discharged ex-
cept those needed as section hands. The
ties aud rails are being laid rapidly, ana
the road will be ready much sooner than
was expected. Depots are springing up
all along the line at convenient locations
Work on the depot here IL being pushed
along with much yigor.
The election has passed. In the county
it was "wAlk over" for the Democrats,
but in the city it was within one of being
''clean sweep" for Republicanism. The
whole Republican ticket was elected en-
cept one justice of the peace. The Demo
crats accuse one another OF trading the
ticket, but up TO date there has been no
one found who did not vote within party
bounds. They are very sore over their
defeat as they can justly be for the city
is virtually in the hands Of the Republl-
cans who have declared their intentions
of using their power for the betterment
of the city's affairs. II is indeed fortunate
that the city falls in the hands of such
"public-spirtod" men as these who were
elected to serve the people. The council
stands Republicans, eight Democrats
four. We hope that the streets will now
be fixed as they sadly need it. In the
county it seems as il the election for
treasurer was a failure. II will be re-
membered that Judge Clark appointed
Mr.. Glaize TO serve out Mr. Worting's I'M
expired term. Two years is the length
of time yet. Now by gross ignorance or
foolhardy carelessness this fact was over
looked and an election held for treasurer.
In the contest the Democratic candidate
was victorious yet he finds he cannot
assume Office because the election was
illegal-not being ordered by the judge
Consequently Mr.. Glaire will contest and
hold over. This is either an unparalleled
blunder or a sharp factiOnal scheme by
which they hope to retain the present
incumbent.
