Lee and Hume.

What we have said to our friends in
New York and South Carolina we say to
the Democrats Of the Eighth district OF
this State--do not enter into any sort OF
combination with your political enemies
All history teaches the danger OF it, and
there are many lamentable modern in
stances In this way some OF the purest
men in Virginia drifted into the Repubi-
can ranks.
Mr.. HUME is asking election on the
ground that he is On independent
DemocrAt" hut. experienced in politics
as he is, he knows very well that the Re-
publicans from whom the bulk Of his
support will Gomez would never dream
of voting for him If they supposed he
would be as Democratic rs General w.
II. +. LEE. Indeed, LASGsToS has al
ready expressed his opinion that Mr..
Mr.. HuMEs politics are good enough
for the Republicans
General LEE is a clear-headed, sure.
footed. infexible, and Interchangeable
Democrat. He is Democrat all the way
through. Never does any member OF
the party give himself the slightest I'M
easiness as 10 how the General vii vote.
All know that he will vote exactly right.
General LEE is not asking public posi-
ton because be is n son OF ROBERT Il.
LEE. but the Yirginians of 1890 do not
belong TO the family Of lS6l-65 If they
will permit that fact TO do our nominee
any harm. We hear no complaint OF the
Generals legislative service. He repre-
scented his people in tho Senate OF Vir-
GINA with great success. When the
Democrats allowed themselves to divide
into factions, and rival caucuses were
held, staunch party men always felt
proud that they belonged to the "Gen-
eral LEE caucus"--as the caucus over
which the Senator from Fairfax presided
was called. Next his people sent him to
the House of Representatives and no has
always carefully attended to his const-
tuepts' business he has been constant III
attendance he has made many friends |
and is looked upon as a man of unusual
strength of mind and character. We do |
not know-we have never heard IN
speech or whisper-any reason why o
Virginia Democrat should vote for Mr..
HUME in preference to General LEE, in
asmuch as in addition to many other
reasons the latter is our party nominee.
In some counties Of the district the |
candidacy Of Mr.. HUME is regarded as
of so little consequence there is reason |
10 fear that our vote will not be fully |
polled. Ii is against this over-con-
fidence we wish 10 warn our folks
With full vote we entertain no doubt |
whatsoever as to the result-that liz to
say, the defeat of MIR. HUME; the cleo
ton OF General LEE.

"Mr. Cleveland has reason to feel bet
ter at this timo than ever he did in his
life. The cause of tariff reform, Of
which he is the most conspicuous repre-
sentative, appears morally certain of
fresh conquests throughout the country.
The next House of Representatives will
in all political probability be Demo
cratic. The next President will be a
Democrat if the sentiment of the coun-
try continues to grow along the lines of
its later development. Why shouldn't

former, feel better than ever he did in
his life 2"

pensatioo and that the act Of the Gene
raj Assembly permitting telegraph-poles
to be erected along public road without
providing for compensation to the own
ers was unconstitutional and void. An
appeal was taken, and the Supreme
Court affirmed Judge CUTTERS decision.
A NEW DEFENcK.
The cases now before the court are of
the same character and involve the same
principles OF law, but yesterday morning
counsel for defendany raised the question
that Congress had allowed telegraph
companies TO erect their lines along all
the post-roade, and that the act declared
all public roads in the country were post
roads. The discussion which followed
this special plea wasable and exhaustive.
Messrs. Henry II. Pollard and Il. T..
Lacy represented the plaintiffs. and
Major Robert Stiles and Judge A. O.
Holiday the telegraph company.
THE FORMER DECISION REPEATED.
The decision Of Judge Gunter was to
the effect that while Congress had tho
power under the Constitution to estab-
lish post-of1iees and post-roads and had
in the exercise of that power declared
oil public roads post-roads, still the
act OF Congress must be construed in con-
nection with another provision OF the
Constitution, which declared that pri-
vate property cannot be taken for public
uses without just compensation to the
owner, and that the Court of Appeals Of
Virginia had declared the fee in lands
used as public roads, private property
dedicated to a particular use.
GIVEN TO A JURY.
The plaintiffs demurrer to the plea
was accordingly sustained, and the de-
PENDANT excepted and pleaded not guilty.
At late hour jury was obtained and
the trial will probably continue during
the balance Of the week.

foundation. as has also tho question
whether the tax which is now confined
IN oo,laterals and strangers to the
blood should not DO extended to direct
heirs.
The exemption from taxation Of chart
table. eleomosynary, and ecclesiastical
institutions is another highly-interesting
aud important question discussed by Mr..
Dos pAssos. Let us remark, by tho
vav that a tax upon churches is tax
upon property which so far from yield
ing a revenue to its owners costs them
annually large sum Of money. Mr..
Dos PAssos also asks whether there
should not be law creating gradu-
ated or scaling tax upon inheritance
that is. a tax OF larger percentage
upon large estates than the percentage
upon smaller ones. 1t will profit you to

KANSAS CRY, Mo, October 29.--There
is considerable excitement to-day among
Kansas City stockmen relating TO adj
vices received from Mexico to the effect
that that country has placed duty of
$500 per car on American cattle. IL the
advices are true-and they come from
reliable source-this practically ruins
all the livestock trade between
this country and Mexico. The
act OF the Mexican Government
is purely retaliatory and was precipitated
by the fear the Mexicans have of the
Mckinley bill. Many cars of American
cattle are now on the Mexican borders.
About 800 bushels of grain have to be
sent with every train-load of livestock
shipped from this city to Mexico, and
the Government will not even permit
this to go through unless a duty of thir-
ty cents per bushel is paid. 1t has been
rumored among the stockmen OF this
city for the past three or four days that
tho Mexican Government was contem-
plating move of this kind, but there
was thought to be nothing in it until
dispatches were received from agents
there to-day apparently confirming the
reports.

Mills an Inhabitant.

When one OF the best claims that can
be made for Mr. MILLS is that he is an
"inhabitant of Virginia it is time for
him TO withdraw and allow MIR. BUCHANAN
TO be unanimously elected.
Mr.. BUCHANAN is a native citizen. He
has failed in nothing that was possible
for him to do for this Commonwealth.
In boyhood and manhood, in peace and
war. and in public and private life, he
has been faithful He is man of high
character and great ability.
We are told that Mr.. MILLS has in
vested a good deal Of capital in South
west Virginia, and we are glad to hear it
and trust that he will receive satisfactory
returns. But surely this does not enti-
tie him TO a seat in Congress
1t will be time enough for him to have
political aspirations when he shall have
become "citizen" and "voter" of
Virginia.
General j. A. WALKER states the law.
Mr.. Mills is eligible. There is not room
for much doubt about this,
At one time in the history of this
Commonwealth leading newspaper
here seriously proposed that we should
elect Horace GREELEY to the United
States Senate. We could have done it
and he would have been seated, but the
two houses Of the General Assembly
came to the conclusion that from the
list OF native and adopted "citizens F"
and "voters of this State there was
very goodsenatorial material obtainable.
Mr.. GREkLEy's claims Though Of differ
ent order were quite as good as any al
legged in behalf OF Mr.. Mills.
The voters OF the Ninth district certain
ly have every reason to be satisfied with
Mr.. BUcHANAs's congressional career. In
no way has he fallen short OF hls duty
or his constituents expectations If re-
elected he will serve them with renewed
energy, and il force bills, or re-appor-
tionment steals. or any other outrages
against the South are proposed 1t will
never be necessary to ask his position.
He will always be found standing true
10 Virgins aud the South. and loyal 10
the best interests Of the whole Federal
Union.
II Ia scarcely imaginable that the
Ninth district will put away BUCHANAN
for Mn.Ls.
