Last Monday being court-day, there was
quite crowd in town. and our genial and
very popular Congressman, Hon. Paul c.
Edmunds, had an opportunity to give an
account Of his stewardship TO a good audi
ence, SAYS the Fincastle Herald. This he
did with entire satisfaction to the people,
which they will PROFESSIONALLY verify at
the polls next month. Mr.. Edmunds will
remain with us during our county fair, and
he will have the pleasure Of shaking hands
with the people who delight to do him hohor.

This il Major PO0re's first visit 10 BOte-
tOurt, and the warm welcome extended 10

second Virginia Cavalry, was a token of
the high esteem in which he was held as a
lieutenant Of Company II. True as steel as
a Confederate soldier, he enjoys the conf
dence Of his people as a Jealous and faith
full private in the ranks Of the Democracy.

Quay and Cameron.
IA.rn Anrl- LIlr

Senator Quay and Senator Cameron are
evidently somewhat at odds about the Penn
syl,ania campaign, Notwithstanding the
handsome subscription of Cameron 10 the
Delamater fund. There is evidence that
the eX-State treasurer was ready 10 allow
the rest Of the nominations Of his party to
slide, in order to insure the election Of my
own Governor" But Don Cameron is not
vet ready to leave the Senate, and he objects
20 any scheme that would involve the
possible loss Of the state Legislature.
Hence. as the story runs. his campaign
fund, apart from the Delamater dona-
ton. has been placed in the hands
Of Mr.. Cooper. chairman Of the Republican
state Committee, TO be used in saving the
Legislature 20 the Republican party. whether
the GOyernOrship be lost or not. The gross
result Of this apparent quarrel will proba-
bly, he that Cameron will give rather more
money than usual TO the campaign in his
state and that Delamatcr VIII have his
share. At the same time the developments
of this little tiff between firm friends show
how slender are fl0ater-fund bonds in the
keystone state, and how strong are the
grounds for confidence that the Democrats
and independent Republicans have in car
rying the State through discussions in the
Administration party and dcsertions from
its ranks.

a Change of Methods.
Chicago Mail

The death of ex-Secretary Of War W. W.
Belknap serves to recall the circumstances
under which his remarkable career was 50
suddenly ended in disgrace. The facts are
well known and nothing remains 10 be-
be added TO the story Of his downfall But,
be il remembered, the treatment he re-
ceived at the hands of bis party is sim
gularly in contrast with the treatment ac-
corded others to-day who are equally guilty.
BelknaD was called 10 Washington at a
time when the administration OF
national affairs was nOtOriOusly cor
rupt, and when rings and lob
bies controlled legislation and die
tated affairs Of state. lie fell, was exposed,
and sank from public sight forever. This
was comparatively but yesterday, but to-
day the causes which led TO Belknap's dis
grace are winked at by the administration
and by the dominant political party. Bel
knap's ofienses were trifing compared with
those Of the representative head of the Re
publican party. Why is not Quay pun
ished? Why is Raum still retained In q
branch Of the public service he has degraded
and scandalzed? The Republican part!
has changed its course in dealing with cor
ruptions. once it yielded 10 the demands Of
an outraged public sentiment. 1t no longer
does so.

lie. Him Speak His Mind.

We have been running The Times twenty
five wears, and with this issue we begin our
twenty-sixth volume, says the editor OF tue
Danville Times. Twenty-Five years is a
long time TO be the owner and editor Of the
same paper. We have not made fortune
but, considering the kind Of paper we have
been publishing, we have been more sue
cessful than we expected we would be. Ii
shows plainly that, in this community, the
people believe in allowing an editor free
speech True, there are few intOllerant
individuals who don't like the Times, but
the majority Of the business men have al
ways patronized our paper; they are liberal
in their views and encourage us to speak
our honest sentiments. We have some
old friends who have stood by us
ever since we began to advocate
the supremacy Of the white race and
10 resist the Entertainments Of the north
ern civilization. Words are inadequate 10
express our grateful feelings 10 them. We
have new friends, who are backing us, and
10 them also we feel very grateful. To the
old and the new we have this TO say, In
starting upon another year, that we intend
to keep on publishing the same sort of paper
that we have been publishing ever since De-
tober o, 1865. When the time comes, IL II
ever does, that we cannot speak our mind
freely, we will quit the newspaper business
and 90 at something else. But We do not
apprehend anything of the kind, because
the people are becoming more and more
tolerant every year in politics and religion.

The Charlottesville Chronicle says: Sec.
ton IL, chapter 10 Of the city ordinances
reads as follows:
If anybody shall allow his COW or OK or
other stock 10 run at large ON the streets or

shall be tined not less than one nor more
than five dollars for such offence.
Are our police aware that such an Ordi-
nance exists? If 50, why do they allow COWS
10 remain continually in the streetsI In
more than one street in the city il would be
hard 10 find a time, night or day, when
there are not several cows lying in the
street or standing on the sidewalk.
At night it is often serious annoyance
to stumble over Il cows horns in crossing
the street. Should the police claim that
they never see cows in the streets referred
to, we could well believe them, for we think
the police themselves are seldom seen in
many of the streets.

Mounted on their swift-f0Oted little br0n-

music furnished by Bugle BilPs cowboy

as much as their riders, and. all in all, it is
