TRUTH FOR ONCE Was there ever a
clearer case of fraud and wrong-cheating,
false counting and misr' pre- entation-bo.
gus elections and bogus election oflc ais
than the Montana senatorial cases present
to the public? The Republican Committee
of Privileges and Elect )ns has, neverthe-
less, reported in favor of seating the bogus
Republican senators. What does the New
York Tribune say on the subject? In CAPT.
tai letters it announces that "the case ia
practically settled by report in favor of
the Republicans"
Just g.. ALI the arguments that can be
"ffered will 60 for nothing. The case has
been ''practically settled" The law and a
due regard for justice, and all the people in
Montana may demand the seating of the
Democratic senators, but all will be useless.
The case is practically settled" The
conspiracy grows apace. The national
election-lsw, the Reed rules. the unseating
of Democratic members of the House Of
Observation-Disclosures and many more
things point to President to be elected by
fraud and force in 1902, and House of
Representatives to be packed by Federal
laws to sustain that President. Richmond

Two DISTRESSING AcCIDENTs.-On Wed
nesday, March Goth in the neighborhood OF
Bald Eagle, about 10 miles above Lynch
burg Mr.. Robert Campbell was burning
brush on his farm on the Amherst side, his
little nine year old daughter being with
him. The little girl was standing near one
of the fires when her dress caught in blaze
and she was so badly burned that she died
from her injuries in short time.
Mr.. Thomas Haight and wife, ling won
the opposite side of the river, learned of the
accident, and decided to go over and spend
the night with their afflicted neighbors.
They started about dusk to cross the river
in small boat. Through some mishap the
boat was capsized, and the husband and
wife were both drowned while on their mis-.
sion of love. Eight children are left or.
phans by this double calamity, and the sym
pathies of the neighborhood are stirred to
the depths.

Gerrymandering.

Gerrymandering the States so as to give
one party more representation than it is
Justly entitled to. is wrong and in violation
of true Representative government. The
Republicans have been guilty of this wrong
to very great extent, yet when the Demo-
Gratis, as in Ohio, give them dose OF their
own medicine, they raise howl, and call
for Federal interference. The following
will give some idea of the wrongs perpetrat-
ed upon the Democrats by the Republic
cans:-
"Iu California, for instance, it appears
that 11T,792 democratic voters elect two
representatives, while 1874, 816 republicans
elect four. 1t thus takes SO S54 democrats
in that State to elect representative, but
only 81, 2O4 republicans. 1t is plain, there
fore. that 81, $50 democrats are practically
DISTINGUISHED. But there is still more dis
graceful showing in Illinois. In that State
34S 371 democratic voters elect seven repre-
sentatives, while 270 ATS Republicans elect
thirteep. Average number of voters to the
REPRESENTATIVE: democrats 40, 1877; repubi-
can. %, 49S; difference, 81. 289. Iu Iowa the
case is still worse. In thai State 179 SIT
democratic voters elect one Representative,
while 211, 599 republicans elect ten. Aver
age number of voters to the representative:
democratic 179, SIT; republican, q, 150; diff
ference, 1853, 71s. In Massachusetts 1O4 1886
voters elect two democratic Representa-
tives, while 1882. republicans elect ten.
| Average number of voters to the Represen-
tative: democratic. SO, 1872, republican. ID,
$50; difference 33,S03. In the great State
of New York, with its large representation,
it takes AZ, $50 democrats to elect Con
gresham, but only 80, 105 republicans. In
Michigan the average number OF voters to
the representative is: democratic luz. 734
republican, 49, 265; difference of ~ 4Os
adverse to the democrats. In Ohio, also,
this anti. democratic difference amounts to
52, 24S votes. Nor is the mere relative dis
elimination against democratic votes above
shown half the iniquity involved in the per
fected game of republican gerrymandering
For example, in Kansas, while 1872, 904 re
publican have seven Representatives., 147,
31s democrats and other political dissenteri
are robbed of any representation at all
Even in Speaker Reeds State, while u, ~.
republican elect four Representatives, "a,
SIG voters, not of that party. are cut OF
1 from all representation. Likewise in Min
nesota, 1870, 1893 democrats are virtually dis
franchised, and in Nebraska, "a, 22S, ant

A DOUBLE LIFE.-Fivs years ago James
Tuthill, boss mason, came to Montclair,
N. j., from Port Jervis. He and mis- wife
Joined the Congregational Church and won
the respect and esteem of their neighbors
Tuthill Joined several social clubs, and
every one who knew him liked him. He
neither drank nor swore, was ever ready to
help any one in need and counted his friends
by the score. Shortly after Tuthill came
to Montclair several bold burglaries were
committed in rapid succession. Tuthill
started movement to bring Pinkerton de-
tectives to chase down the thief, but no
thing was heard of him while the detectives
we're IN the vicinity. A week ago last
Monday night the residence of Geo. Booth,
Mason and personal friend of Tuthill, was
entered by the lone burglar. Mr.. Robert
son, guest, was aroused by his window
being opened, and slim-buit man jumped
into the room from the veranda. Robert
son saw him coolly strike match and deft.
ly abstract his QRobertson's) gold watch
from his vest, when the match went out.
The thief was striking another when Ro-
bertson jumped out of bed and grappled
with him. The cold muzzle of pistol
made him let go quickly, and the burglar
swung himself out Of the window and got
away. While Robertson was telling his
experience the burglar was less than a
block away, getting into the residence of
John Manuel, another Mason, and warm
friend of the good Mr.. Tuthill. Manuel
was aroused and gave the burglar battle.
The thief's mask came off in the struggle,
and Mr. Manuel could hardly believe his
senses, for the face he recognized was that
of bis friend Tuthill. The latter broke
away A search was made of his house,
and the constable found 10 the cellar gold
and diamond minc. Buried in the wall
were. rings, watches, diamonds. pocket
books, money, bracelets, breastpins, ear
rings, watch chains and every kind of
jewelry, representing many thousands of
dollars. The burglar was traced to Green.
point, where he was arrested yesterday and
taken to Jail. Tuthil strenuously denied

State Agricultural Board.

The State Agricultural Board, formed
under the law passed at the session OF the
legislature before the last, has been in oper-
alton two years, and has accomplished gooo
work in promoting the interests for which
it was created. The Board consists Of one
member from each Congressional district,
the commissioner of Agriculture, ec-oDscto'
Secretary and Treasurer.
The depressed condition Of Agricultural
interests required much thought and care
full preparation of their plans for aiding
development, one of which was the estab'
lshment of the Experimental Station al
the Agricultural College; another, to pro
note the immigration of farmers into the
State; and another, to furnish the Commits
sioner Of Agricultural with means to make
a vigorous effort for our producing inter
ests.
All these objects have been prosecuted
and the work performed by the age..ts o.
he Board Investigated by the Legislature
1t was not to be expected that every acI
and proceeding would pass without some
criticism, but after all, the work as whole
vas approved and the Board encouraged te
60 on as they had done.
The organization of the Board under The
law puts the members in two classes, eact
class serving four years, except in the com
mencement when one class served two
yeais. The term of that class has expired
and the Governor has rs-appoiuted then
their own successors for the term of foul
years as follows:
Orris A. Browne, of Accomac, 1st Dis
trict; Nomand Smith, of Henrico, 3rd; W
T. Sutherlin, of Danville. 9th; b. L. Lay
man, of Albemarle, 7th; A. NJ. Palmer, @
Washington, 9th.
A vacancy having occurred in the secont
Congressional district in the class holding
over, Judge R. L. Henley, of James City
| was appointed to fill it.
The gentlemen constituting the Boar
are practical farmers, and some of then
largely engaged in that pursuit. They ar
giving their time to this work without
cent of compensation for their services

from the place where he had been standing.
His wife was blown out of bed and carried
with terrific force against a tree, suffering
injuries from which there is very little hope
Of her recovery. The baby, which was
sleeping in cradle at the side of the bed
occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. WEIGH, was un-

dred feet, when the baby was turned out
upon the ground, not being even bruised
A few yards further on the cradle lay,
broken into splinters. Two other children
were injured by falling timbers. One was
hurt about the back and the other badly
bruised about the head. The stable was
carried away, not stick being left to show
its site, two horses that were in the stable
being killed; the third horse was lifted into
the air and let down in the exact spot from
where it was raised.
