SENSIBLE DECISION.
John Mitchell Says lie VIII Not Run For
Congress


Considerable curiosity has been mani
tested for several days as to the probability
Of John Mitchell, Jr., negro editor, being
a candidate for Congress, in opposition 10
Hon. George ID. " ise. IL was known that
he had written and distributed an address
to the voters, but such secrecy was observed
that it was impossible to obtain copy until
a late hour last night, when Il. TINES re-
porter succeeded in getting copy. and II
is at last settled that Mitchell is not can
didate. The address closes with the follow
ing words:
"Aciuatpd by the reasons herein stated,
yet thanking YOU for your practical express
sion of confidence and esteem, therefore !
have decided not 10 be a candidate for the
Fifty second Congress, nor as far As | am
able to prevent it allow my name to be
voted for in the election"
In referring to the action of the Republi-
can District Committee, he says: lit was
not only open 10 the seyerest criticism, but
the most bitter condemnation. Their ac-
ton savors of that despotic rule which il
particularly recognized in the land Of the
Gar and il in opposition 10 every primer
pie governing free Republic" and that IL
lis the product Of the brains Of certain
man or men, who for petty spite would turn
over Old Virginia 10 the party that oppres-
ses, and contains no redeeming virtue. Ii
IL war, aided by Democratic influences
upon President Harrison and his Cabinet,
Speaker Reed and the Fifty-hrst Congress,
Chairman Belden and the National Congress
sioLal Committee. That such action merits
the condemnation of every Republican voter
goes without saying
He insists that the committee should have
called convention TO decide the question,
and says that when they essay TO have
more knowledge than all OF the Republicans
in six counties and two cities, they tran
scend the power vested in them and make
themselves ridiculous and OdiOus in the
eyes of the people of this district"
lie says that "A reorganization OF the party
is necessary and is demanded by the people
One OF his many reasons for declining to
be candidate is that the time is too short
IN which to make the tight, and in that con.
nection he SAYS: Thousands of my friends
could not vote for me, not being properly
informed as 70 my intentions nor endorse
a. n for Congress, and, whereas, | ight
[Oll from racial characteristics at least,
ninety per cent. Of the Republican vote Of
the district upon the proper notice being
given, could only poll that per cent. In
Richmond city, Manchester, and in some of
the immediate adjoining counties OF the
capital city"

Mr.. knnier is entitled for the third cOnsec-
utlye time 10 the championship Of the state
Of Nirnnia. he having won lt Likewise In
1891 AMI lSSS. No tournament WAS held in
1883. (rhe Nirgi la Chess \ Associaiion held
its first annual tournament IN lSSJ ana
another in 1856 in both Of which the lament
ed John kirkpatrick, Of Lynchburg, won
first hOnOrs.) Though IL appears irOm the
above tally-,heet that Mr.. kinnier lost three
and One.half games, II Is due to him to say
that in the game with Mr.. London, which
be drew, he was playing after he had won
the championship, and had not the SAINT
interest In winning as if IL had made any
difference % him.
In both games with Mr. PendletOn he was
very much hurried, and could not give them
DrOper attention. But he was victorious,
and, therefore, criticisms are out Of order.
No one can do more than win. and all the
unsuccessful competitors can only hope for
better luck next lime,
The tournament just closed was, in the
opinion Of the players, the most successful
one yet held, both as regards the quality OF
the play and the perseverance with which
every player stuck TO his work and played
out his schedule. IL has always been "A
matter Of great difficulty TO get the more un-
successful men TO keep IN a tournament
until it is finished. aud this one was most
fortunate in this respect.
Several OF the players were from Martins
vile. and had hitherto had merely local
reputation, but it will be seen from the tally
sheet that Messrs. Jones ana stutz espe-
cally did themselves great credit, and no
man who took part in the play need be-
ashamed Of his work. In conclusion, II is
evident that the cause OF chess in the Old Do
minion is in "A most gratifying condition. May
the royal game flourish TO the diversion, and
il is not too much 10 say. TO the mental i'm
proyement OF its yOtaries. aud may this con-
tinually increase in number. Chess is pre-
eminently the gentleman's game for every
yotary il gains, and hose who understand
It cease 20 take delight in games Of chance,
which is certainly good thiag for young
man tO do.

Busy Month

The month ending last Friday was the
busiest ever known IN the office Of the Sec
retary Of the Commonwealth. Daring tho
month Of October there were recol ded In this
office lOl charters with an authorized capi-
tai stock Of $20,3l5,0o0.
These companies paid into the state
Treasury, under the acts Of February 10th
and 10th, s4,0ij.
This shows a marked increase over the
same period Of last year, when only thirty
i've charters were recorded. These last
paid no such fees into the Treasury.
This fact l. one OF the strong evidences Of
the wonderful development Of Nirginia's
resources; and, coupled with the fact that
lO5 notaries public were appointed during
last month. Is very strong proof that the
Old Dominion is rapidly coming to the front.

SALEM.
A Fine Time In a Fine Country The Pro-
posed baptist OrphaDage.

SALEM, VA, Nov. Especial. "A DAY Oh
recreation has been spent in this old-new
town in the great Roanoke Valley. find
NV surroundings worthy of Charles Dudley
Warmers words when ne said: Salem is a
place of great natural beauty" The season
is auspiciOus for the traveller. The noun
tains are clad in autumnal hues, and under
bright sunshine the scene, as one gaZes up
and down, is very beautiful.
A friend drove me TO the summit OF one of
the knobs on which Mr.. J. NJ. Evans, OF
this place, offers to plant the Virginia Bap-
tist Orphanage, for the location OF which so
many places are contesting. II is COM
manding situation, and the gift OF ten acres,
with 5000 in money, will be laid by this
benevolent gentleman before the Board at
a meeting soon 10 be held in Richmond.
The rich citizens Of the town will, no doubt,
incrt ase this gift to handsome proportions.
From the proposed orphanage site got a
fine view of the town and valley, and most
interesting glimpse Of the advancement
made during the past year in developing the
place.
Several things impressed me forcibly.
One was the actual work done. Many Of
the new towns, il seems TO me, are little
careless about grading and improving their
streets. salem is paying special attention
to this. The land aud improvement compa-
nies are evidently determined TO drive their
friends. when they come here, over paved
sidewalks and macadamiZed streets. In
stead Of telling visitors that this or that
river or creek will be spanned by handsome
bridges, these pctiye people show work ae-
tualy done. Two iron bridges already
span the Roanoke, adding much to the con-
yenience Of the citizens and lending attrac-
tiyeness 10 the landscape. Two other simi-
lar structures are to be built. This we'll
advanced work bv the salem Improvement
Company is much 10 their credit. Of course
the presence and support OF nne Old town,
reinforcing Improvements IN the new Sec
tiOn, Is great advantage, ana TINS con-
ditiOn is cOnspicuOusly true OF salem.
Another is the character OF the houses
being erected. Only brick or stone houses
are allowed on the principal business
streets OF the new part OF the town. This is
well. How many Of the new towns are
spoiled by shanties! The "Nanderbilt'
Hotel, of brick, four stories high, stands
near the stone depot building, and other
spacious brick ediiices are going up. Dur
ing the year now closing there have been
erected here 2ls houses Of all kinds. 2ll OF
these residences, and yet the cry Is ior
houses. The very large furnace OH on the
river looks like laying solid foundations III
iron and coal industries.
Rev. Dr. Tyree has lately closed a sue
cessful meeting with mis- church. All de-
nominations of Christians seem 10 be grow
ing. This is consequent upon the enlarging
population. The ministry is also an able
one, learn.

Juvenile Tourney-Question of hevenue

WILLIAMSBURG, VA, Nov. 1.-lspecia',
Our juvenile beaux and bellies had a tourna.
ment at the western end Of the town yester-
dav. After the fitting a supper was given
al the residence OF Rev. 7. L. Warner, which
was greatly enjoyed.
The City Council will meet early next
week TO take action in regard TO the income
tax which was recently levied by that body.
Last year the Council, believing that they
hai the right nnder the law, levied a tax
of one dollar on the hundred dollars OF In

state law. When the treasurer went to
collect the tax objection was raised to It.,

10 the County Court for adjudication.
After some litigation the Council proceeded
TO levy a tax OF 20 cents on the 900 OF In

OF the Court. Hencethe Council will meet

PRANK HUME's DECLARATION.

PRANK HUME'S DECLARATION.
Mr.. Frank Hume's declaration of prin-
ciples has helped him with Republicans and
hurt him with Democrats in the Eighth Con-
gressioral district. All along Hume
has proclaimed himself as an indie
pendent candidate. His misguided
Democratic followers have been promised
that "before election be would announce
himself as Democrat. There is no doubt
that Hume made such a promise To his
Democratic friends. As time passed and
no utterance ayOwing his political faith or
intentions came from him Deaocrats OF the
district began TO murmur and complain.
Their discomfort was met with the assur-
ance that Hume would declare his Democ-
racy later on; that 10 ayOw himself Demo-
crat too early would drive of Republican
support. Now, within few days OF the
election, Mr.. Hume has formally and finally
defined the platform upon which he
is running, anil it does not contain
even an intlmatIOn that he is Il
Democrat. As a matter of fact, he leaves
himself entirely free as to his political ac-
ton and obligations. A careful eXamna-
tiOn of his declaration must convince any
candid man that Hume is bidding more for
Republican than Democratic support. He
does not even condemn the iniquities and
usurpatiOns of the Republicans Of the
House of Representatives. He is all honey
and sweet words, promising everything
pledging nothing.
The indications are that Iume's failure 10
utter anything in the nature Of pledge to
vote and act with the Democracy in the
event of his election will open the eyes OF
some Democrats who have been supporting
him, while at the same time it will have the
effect Of Increasing Republican enthusiasm
for him. Whether Mr.. Hume is responsible
Tor the impression or not, il is certainly the
belief of the Republicans OF the district
that if elected he will refuse 10 affiliate
with the Democrats.

THE DANVlLlE MAIL.

Everybody in Richmond thought the train

aim of the paper for many months. Last

paper had To 90 TO press an hour earlier than
usual. Everybody about the Office, Of course I,

Mr.. Balfour said $50 far as the condition
of Ireland is concerned, it is far better
today than when we received IT
from the Gladstone government. Boy
cotting, then prevalent throughout the
south and west. is now confined to a
few districts. Crime has decreased in a
marked degree, and so has the number Of
persons imprisoned in connection with the
criminal conspiracy against law and order.
Perhaps the most satisfactory feature
of my journey has been the willing
ness Of the people everywhere to ofer
real and practical sugges lions as to the
Improvement of the condition OF Ireland. In
this respect the people present notable
contrast to their representatives IN the
House of Commons. | have never been
able TO extract from the latter an opinion,
which any responsible minister would think
worth considering, with regard TO the ques-
tions the social and material welfare OF
their constituents, which ought to be, ana
which are talked of outside OF the domain
