Obituary.
Died, in Staunton, Va, May 5th, 1889, Mrs.
Eliza t, He'll, widow of the late J. Wayt Bell.
When death calls away from earth those whose
quiet lives were confined to narrow limits, and
whose influence was restricted almost to the
nome circle. TO WHICH Uney belonged, IL MAY
seem to those beyond that circle that their lives
have not given reason that their deaths should
be recorded by more than d simple announce
ment. But God has many servants, and each is
called to live a life and do a work for Him and
for others The work of one may be public and
conspicuous, of another quiet and obscure, but
one TO more valuable or praiSeWOrihy than
the other
The subject of these lines was one of Gods
quiet ones, but she was indeed the Kings Dauyh-
ter and her life bore sweetest attestation of her
sincerity and conservation
Cheerful in the many Affections of long, sad
life, patient under the trials and privationS of
continuous l-health, kind and gentle in all the
outward relations of life, tender and loving in
the sweeter relations of the family, her life was
a singular illustration of the renewing, eleva
ting and sweetening influence of Divine Grace.
Among the many virtues of her life, the most
conspicuous were those that marked her as pc
culiarly tender and patient and faithful Christian
mother. And this will be her best and most
lasting monument in the hearts OF ''her children
who rise up and call her blessed

The "KickerS ,

Some of the Democratic papers are
trying to distort facts and pervert leglt-
innate deductions, to cover up their fear
and chagrin, resulting from the action
of fragment of the National Commit
tee in Virginia Republican affairs They
know that if the Republicans are united
and make wise nominations for State Of
ficers, they will win in November next.
For this reason they attempt to create the
impression that the Kickers are humil-
lated by the terms of the compromise
that their protests against former calls
and the action under them have been
unavailing, and that they have entirely
surrendered to Gen. Malone. The Pc
tersburg Inder-Appea1 is an exception
to this pretended version of the arrange
ment 1t is candid enough to state the
truth of it. So far as the Craftsmanship
of the State Central Committee is con-
cerned, we have never doubted the reg
ularity of Gen. Mahone's title. The
complaint we had, was that under the
plan of operation, the State Committee

be the will of the people. The masses
could not find effective expression under
the machinery as used. The present call
is modification of this, and a surrender
of the most obnoxious feature of pre-
vious calls If now the plain meaning
of ther terms shall be carried outfit

tors of Internal Revenue shall keep their
hands off, and allow a fair and honest
expression of the will of the people in
the election of delegates, and the action OF
the Convention, harmony will be re-
stored, and united effort put forth to
elect the nominees of the State COnven-
ton. There must be fairness all around.
The manipulation and bull-dozer must
forsake his calIing-the trickster and
liar must consider himself out of a job
for this canvass at least, and a purpose
be manifested to respect Republican
sentiment and fair and manly politics.
With these conditions observed the Re
publicans will elect the Governor and
carry the Legislature,
The I2der-Appeal says of the COM
promise
The success of the .kickers'' in the recent
compromise between the Republican factions
was about as complete and decisive as it could
be under the circumstances Nevertheless many
Democratic papers in the State profess to dis
cover great advantage to Gen. Malone, and,
with a knowing manner, intimate that as much
might have been expected when the "kickers''
We're entrapped into referring their ease to the
arbitration of Mr. Quays committee. Gen.
Malone owes a large debt of gratitude to GER
tain Democratic papers. Especially to that
class which is wise above what is written, and
can discern meaning where no meaning is.
They impaired to Gen. Malone, by their ground
less abuse of him, prominence and power in
politics he could never have achieved otherwise,
and now they would rescue him from the conse-
quences of defeat by assembling to him an occult
and sort of Machiavellian policy that trans
forms defeat into the appearance of success.

Prohibitiouists;.

The Third State Convention of the
Prohibition party of Virginia met in
Lynchburg last week. About 90 dele
gates were present, representing some Is
cities and counties. The representative
from Staunton was Maj. J. w. Newton,
WHO was also Secretary of the conven-
ton, and a member of the Committee on
Platform and Resolutions and Nomina-
tiOns.
Rev. j. Powell Garland of Lynchburg,
said he was in full sympathy with Pro
bition, but could not be bound by the
action of the convention, and hence
could not serve on the committees. Al
other member stated that if democrat
was nominated, he would not support
him.
1t was proposed to raise 800 to each
Congressional district, to pay off present
Indebtedness and prosecute the work
About 800 were raised in the conven-
ton.
The platform was the same in sub
stance as the one adopted at the Staun-

The following State ticket was nom
mated: For Governor, Hon. Thos. E.
Taylor, of Loudoun; Lieut. Governor,

Staunton.
Judge Quarles, the nominee for Attor-
ney-General, has been in the active prac
tice of the law for many years in our
city. For two years he resided in Min
neapolis, but returned to Staunton, on
account of Mrs. Quarles' health. He was
made judge in readjuster times; but re
signed before the expiration of his term.

Mr.. Louis f. Zeter, employed by the
West Epd, Roanoke, Brick and Tile
Works, was arrested last week, on a tel
egram from DR.. Blackford, superinten-
tendent of the Western Lunatic Asy-
lum, on the ground that he was an es-
capped lunatic. He was released on ha-
beas corpus, and subsequently arrested
again on another telegram upon the
same charge. Zeter says he is perfectly
sane, and that the cause OF his being
placed in the asylum was that he had
used too much whiskey. He understands
machinery, and was efficiently discharg
ing the duties of the position he held.

Victoria Furnace.

The Victoria Furnace at Goshen, in
Rockbridge county, on the Ches. and
Ohio Railroad, was put to trial blast
Monday of last week, and the furnace
worked so nicely that regular blast was
put on, and now the report comes that
this large plant is in full operation, max
ing two runs of iron daily. The furnace
is 200 ton capacity and one of the most
valuable plants in the South. Messrs.
Chamberlin, Wheeler & Co., of Column
bus, Ohio, are running the plant under
a five year lease.
The present management OF Victoria
is skilled and experienced, and the pros
pect is that it will be successfully run
under their lease. This means pros
porous time for that locality, as good
market is afforded at the furnace Tor gar
den and farm products, in good hard
cash.

A Democratic Precedent.

1t is a bad precedent, generally, when
it comes from your enemy, but some
times emergencies affect friend and foe
alike At this particular time the VIZ
tuous indignation of the Democratic
press is aroused because the difficulties
in the Republican party OF Virginia we've
referred to the National Committee for
a basis of adjustment. We have no
partially for such outside interference,
and where it is possible, it is always bet
ter for family differences to be settled In
the family household. But occasionally
this is impracticable, and when the neces-
Sity appears for outside intervention, the
interests involved must guage the pol
icy of the transaction. In 1880 the De
mocracy of Virginia found themselves
in a muss they were unable to adjust
Malone had bolted the party organiza-
ton, and placed an independent Han
cock electoral ticket in the field, deny
ing the regularity and the authority of
the regular committee, presided over by
Absolam Koiner, we think. There was
no possibility of settling the dispute by
only the parties to it undertaking to do
so. So the National Democratic Com
mittee was called in. The case was sub
mitted to it, and the decision was in ia
vor of the Koiner Committee and that
electoral ticket. Malone, who did not
recognize either the State or National
Committee, proceeded with his plan OF
running an Independent ticket. That
the reference to the Nationa6Committee
was not success. was no fault OF the
Koiner Committee, nor had they any
scruple in calling for the interyen-
ton of s'outside" influence. 1t is only
when a similar condition exists in the
Republican party and similar influence
is invoked, that it becomes a great wrong
and the proper subject for denunciation.
These political pharisees, with large
size beam in their own eyes, grow fear
fully righteous when they observe
small mote in the eye of their neigh
Dor. and cannot content themselves
with less than voluminous and indig-
nant denunciation of anything and eve
rything not branded with mossback De-
mOcracy

Big Railroad Deal.

Drexel, Morgan & Co. have become the
purchasers of 100000 shares of the com
mon stock of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway Company. The stock belonged
to G. p. Huntington, and was by him
sold to this banking house, he receiving
a check for Ss,s50,o00 The purchase
was in the interest of the Vanderbilts,
who it is believed now control majority
of the common stock of the Chesapeake
and Ohio. If so, it gives them another
trunk line to the seaboard at Newport
News. The deal will not change the
management of the road. 1t will con
tinue as now. Mr. Huntington is dis

tween the Republican factions of Vir-
ginia, the following appointments were

enue-Col. Jas. d. Brady, Petersburg
district; Capt. P. H. McCaull, Lynch
burg district. Henry de B. Clay, Collec-
tor of Customs at Newport News. Stith
Boiling, postmaster at Petersburg, Thos
r. Campbell, postmaster at Luray.
The Petersburg I1deC-Appeal, refer
ring to the appointment of Col. Brady
and that of Gen. Boiling, states that
both are acceptable to the people ire
spective of party-that Col. Brady made
a most efficient Collector when he served
in that capacity before, and that Gen,
Bolling's administration of the Post Of
flee before he was displaced by orders of
Cleveland, was all that could be asked.
Prof J. M. Langston telegraphed the
President, thanking him for the appoint
ment of Brady, and pledging his efforts
for Republican success in the State next

bowling over the arrangement made for

ing. They see the handwriting on the
wall, and yet want to hide their fears by
abusing the "Kickers." The "Kickers'
can take care of themselves, as has been
amply demonstrated since they com

worry the Democrats a good deal before
