An demonstrations Act.

Some doubt is expressed by members
of the bar Of the State as to the consti-
~tutionslity Of the action OF the Gov.
ernor in appointing a Judge of the Dis
trict Court. The Constitution of the
State reads as follows: 1.-THE Legisla-
ture may, however. provide by law for
an alteration Of the boundaries or di-
visions Of districts herein prescribed,
and also for increasing or diminishing
the number Of judicial districts and
Judges therein. But no change shall
take effect except in case of a vacancy,
or the expiration Of the term of an in.
cumbent Of the office" There was no
vacancy at the time Of the appointment
of Judge Wells to the district bench.
and lawyers are convinced that the first
conviction under him will result in an
appeal to the Supreme Court and Judge
Wells and the conviction under him will
be knocked ut.-virginia Chronicle.

Industrious p rospect0rs.

Enterprise: Virginia is filled with
idle men; but they are not positively
idle. The old miners and prospectors
who have been with us many years,
while waiting for steady employment,
engage their knowledge and experience
meanwhile at prospecting in the hills to
the north, west aud south of the great
lode. They take a little prospecting
pick, with hammer attached. and with a
light lunch and pipe and tobacco, they
roam the hills, carefully inspecting float
and chipping off pieces of rock here and
there, as thousands have done before.
There is no reward too rich for their pa
tient researches.

ENGLISH JUDGES ON BETTING.

The High Court Of Justice in England
has rendered a decision on betting that
will interest devotees Of racing and
amuse lawyers.
A man having a deposit in the hands
of a turf commission agent instructed
him by wire to bet on certain horses.
The horses won, but when the n a
called for his money he was informed
that the agent had not placed the bets
as instructed. He thereupon sued him
for the amount of the winnings less the
commission.
The agent set up the defense that no
action could be maintained because the
transaction was gambling. The Judges
remarked that the case was q novel one,
involving q question never before de-
cided. They admitted that if the agent
had placed the bets the plaintiff could
have recovered the winnings; or that If
the horses bet on had been beaten he
could have been compelled to pay his
losses. But the popularity OF this case
was that the bets had not been made,
and the agent was sued for his failure to
make them. The Court held that the
action conld not be maintained for the
reason that gambling contracts are not
to be enforced.
This is strangely at variance with the
admission of the Court that either the
winnings or the losses could have been
recovered in case the money had been
placed. The Judges conceded the incon-
sistency. but explained that in the lat
Ter case the law had been settled by
previous decisions, which were binding
authorities, but were mot to be car
ried further in favor Of gambling"

r sIasIFICANr.


II is noted with deep regret that Pres
;deut Harrison failed to indicate . inan-
cial policy in his late inaugural address.
While he talked on pretty much every
other public topic he was strangely silent
on the silver question. All men OF ordin
sry discernment realize that the silver
uroblem is the greatest which confronts
the people Of this country in the present
generation. It is the one overshadowing
issue Of the day. Upon the fair treat
ment Of silver depends almost wholly
the future prosperity Of this country. A
contraction Of the volume Of the peoples
money cannot be longer tolerated. 1t Is
sure to bring panic and ruin and financial
chaos. II President Harrison is wise he
will promptly extend a helping hand to
silver. should he fail to do so his sd-
ministration will as surely prove . dismal
failure. The full and complete restora-
ton Of silver is the sole issue upon which
he can achieve o success as brilliant as it
would be just to the people and the bust.
ness interests of the country. But we
confess that the outlook is not bright.
The new Presidents silence on the great
est Of living themes is not calculated to
inspire hope. He that is not for us Is
against us. MI. Cleveland had the cour-
age to proclaim against us. All mankind
prefers an open to . covert enemy. The
whole West is hoping, almost against
hope, that President Harrison can be
brought to an espousal Of the pro-silver
aide Of the cause.

TIE SAMOA HORROR
Further Details of the Terrible
Disaster.

Disaster.
LONDON, March 3l.-Further particu-
lars Of the disastrous storm at Apia have
Just been received. The hurricane burst
upon the harbor suddenly. The German
man-of-war Eber was the first vessel to
drag her anchor. She became unman-
ageable and was driven helplessly on the
reef which runs around the harbor. She
was struck broadside at 6 o'clock in the
morning. The shock caused her to
lurch and to stagger back, and she sank
in a moment in deep water. Most Of her
men were under the matches and scarcely
a soul Of them escaped.
THE ADLER sUocUMBs.
The German war ship Adler vas the
next to suceumb. She was lifted bodily
by a gigantic wave and cast on her beam
ends on the reef. A terrible struggle for
life ensued among the sailors and off
GERS aboard. Many plunged into the
raging surf and struck out, some reach
ing the shore in safety. Others chung to
the rigging until the masts fell. OF
those in the rigging only two gained the
shore. The Captain of the Adler and
several other officers were saved.
THE NIPsIc.
Meantime the U. s. steamer Nipsic
had been dragging her anchor and drift
ing toward shore. The Captain, how
ever, managed to keep control and ran
her on a sandbank. Boats were imme.
diately lowered and the whole company
saved with the exception of six men.
These were drowned by the capsizing Of
a boat.
THE vANDALIA.
The U. s. steamer Vandalia was car
ried before the gale right upon the reef.
She struck with q terrible shock, hurting
the Captain against the gatling and he
fell stunned. Before he could recover a
great wave swept the deck and washed
him and others away into the sea. The
vessel sank fifty yards from the Nipsic
and several Of the officers and men went
down with her. Others persisted while
making desperate efforts to swim to
shore. Some Of the ships company tried
to save themselves by clinging to the
rigging. but the heavy and swift running
waves dashed over them, and one by one
they were swept away.
THE TRENTON.
By this time night had set in. Many
natives and Europeans had gathered on
shore, anxious to render assistance to the
unfortunate crews, but owing to the
darkness they were wholly unable to
be Of service. Soon after the Vandalia
had sunk the American war ship Tren.

driven upon the wreck OF the Vandalia,
