Langston and Malone.

The Democrats can i'll afford Ito lose from
the House of Representatives such o faith
full and able member as Mr.. L. &. NENABLE'
but his fate seems 10 have been fixed by
the Committee on Elections, and 1t only
remains for the House TO confirm the re-
port. II ever a man was fairly elected no
was. Usually the Republicans carry the
Fourth district. but last year OWING to
schism in their ranks and TO the fact that
they had two candidates in the field, our
nominee was able TO run IN.
Such was she heat Of the strife between
Tire MALONE and antl-MAHoSE factions 1t
became well known that each of them pre-
ferred that Mr.. VESABLE should succeed
rather than the certificate should go to the
rival Republican. That was the popular
impression as TO LASGsroN's position to-
wards ARNOLD and ABNoID's towards LANG
BTON.
LANGsrov seems TO have hesitated some
what before he proceeded to contest Mr.
VESABIE's seat, TO which he knew he had
no claim; hut finding that the majority
party were determined TO unseat southern
Democrats upon the slightest excuse. or
without any at all, he fled his notice and
now he expects that on the oath the House
Will install him in the stead of Mr.. VIM
ALE.
MAHONE opposed LAvGsToN the canvass
and has thrown icy water upon his contest
at Washington; but the negro proved to
be stronger with tho powers that DO than
the little General
Strictly speaking il is not right to rejoice
in the discontinue of any one, but the
people Of Virginia will be pardoned doubt
less if they fail TO shed tears on account OF
MAHoNE's chaerin.
What LANGsroN has said against MALONE
the latter can never pardon; LANGsroN's
triumph over him ne can neitherforget nor
forgive, but MAHoSL's bitterest pill will
come when he sees LANGsToS dispensing
the Federal patronage in the Fourth dis
trict.
There were two Republican members OF
the House committee who were 10th to
agree to the majority report, but they
have been coaxed or bullied into signing 1t
and now LANGsroN feels pretty sure Of be-
coming member of Congress. He con-
tiders it q victory over "MAHoSE's
methods"

Pretence Exposed.

That calm. conservative. and patriotic
representative of so much Of the lntelll-
cence and wealth of New York, the Journal
Of Commerce, sees in the proposed Federal
election-law nothing but reckless scheme
for partisan advantage.
Ii declares that the opposition TO any
further interference with the elections, on
the part Of the Federal oflice-hOlders. is not
confined wholly TO Democrats.
Tho scheme is but the enlargement of a
law which has long been in operation in
New York. the sole effect OF which, the edi-
tor ayers, has been to deter certain natu-
rallied aliens from voting, Ito worry and
irritate lawful voters and thus cut down
the adverse majority"
The Journal takes up an editorial of the
New York Tribune calling for Federal law
applicable to all cities and counties, and
exposes tho tallacy of the arguments and
the untruthfulness of the statements, and
adds that the only "need" for such a law
is 10 keep the Republicans in power.
Exactly. Without this law the Republi-
cans fear that they will be exiled from
power. And yet to pass it, if the people
are not dead to the enormity Of the Of
fence. will raise a storm Of indignation.
The political machinery of the States is
now under many different systems, in
many different hands. There can be no
complete concert of action; no perfect
combination between the officers to carry
out the wishes of the Washington in
triguers, but under the enlarged super
visors system the leaders of the Republi-
can party at the national capital expect to
be able TO control the whole system. A
touch of their fingers here Will set the
wheels going; touch there will "slow
them down"
OF course. az tho Journal saws. il is not
for public put party good that it is de-
signed.
Out,senators in Congress. by the help Of
reasonable Republicans, should kill the
bill.

There's nothing like leather when it's

leather things enumerated here are not

cutting now under pressure, which we
feel more keenly than Of al, are all beau
tiful novelties, selected this season with
oil due regard to the nice requirements
OF an intelligent trade. Not leather in
name alone, but in reality. Those card

Russian and seal leather are something
charmingly beautiful think Of 80 cents

aristocratic SEAL BAGS made OF the
finest and softest seal leather, lined
throughout with rich Russia leather and
having a convenient card-case CON-
bined on the outside, cut to Sl.50, is q
bargain that beggars comparison And

Boy. philln Slaughter. D. D.

In the death in Culpeper county OF Dr.
pTIrrP SLAUGHTER n cord has been broken
which bound usimmediately with the Reyo-
tionarv period He was the son OF Captain
PuuIP SLAUGHTER. of the Eleventh Cont
mental regiment. one of the most gallant OF
tho brave men contributed by Virginia to
that momentous struggle.
/ DR.. SLAUaHrrR was born in Springfield,
! Culpoper county, Va, October -, lSoS'
Having attended the academy at Win
chester he entered the University OF VIZ
ciuia m 1875. lie was admitted to the
! bar in 1923. but before he had practIced
five years he resolved TO apply for orders
in the Episcopal Church. He had charges
in GEORGETOWN in Meade and Johns
parishes and in Petersburg, Va. His health
failing he had 10 give up regular WORK rs
q minister. and as his strength permitted
no occupied himself afterwards in preach
ing and with his pen.
DR.. SLAUGHTER was an eloquent preacher,
and some of the most useful men that have
served tho Church we're converted under
his ministry. But it was AZ a writer and a
historian that no is best known to W at
this day, and as o historical writer his loss
is irreparable.
HORACE says truly: "Poeta ndscit'r non
H." The same is true of historian. Ma
ture must endow him with the passion Tor
collecting historical data. with judgment
in weighing them. and with II power OF ex-
preston which can make the past not only
instructive. but delightful These gifts
Nature bestowed upon DR.. SLAUGHTER IN
full measure No miser With his muck-rake
was more industrious in heapng up rea-
sures that he might hide them than was
DR.. SLAUGHTER in gathering the records OF
Virginia's past glory, that he might pre-
serve them for the use Of the present and
future generations.
Among his most valuable publications
are his histories of st. George, Bristol, and
St. Marks parishes, his " Historic Churches
of Virginia" in Bishop PEREY's Centennial
History, his Address to the Minute-Slen
of Culpeper, his Colonial Church of
virginia, " bis lives of Randolph Fair
fax" and of william Green" and his
Christianity the Key to the Character OF
Washington.
This last presents the Father Of his
Country in a moro attractive light than he
has appeared upon the page of any other
writer and is Of inestimable value. As n
composition. however. the brightest gem
in the literary crown Of DR.. SLAUGHTER Is
his Man and Woman. published IN 1860
Would that il could lee read 10y every young
man and woman in the United states.
A noble man and pure Christian has
gone from Us, one Of whom it can be truly

important point of this announcement
il is the term "cUt." Study its meaning
We do not say "value" or" worth or
Irregular price" etc. What we shy is
what wo do-we cut every item, every
particle Of small wear in our establish

fig1lre. but from the real, actual price
put upon the goods by ourselves, IN
keeping with our accustomed small-crop
principle. We cut those Pure Blach

OF 60 cents to 80 cents-just one haH
