Learning to Use Pockets.

AohTuluk 70 Obo IOCketbs
One of the graduates at West Point
says: II am now trying to relearn the
use of pockets. For five years I have
been without that pleasant domestic
feature in my trousers, and I am glad
to find that they are still in vogue.
Very few people are familiar with the
binding nature of the routine at the
government school. In my course
there I have been away from the Point
once on two or three days leave. Yet
l have not found the restraint irksome.
The work is hard but pleasant, and one
must be hard to please who cannot find
congenial set of friends there.
Before taking my leave of absence,
granted for six weeks after graduation,
] selected a certain number of posts of
those submitted to me--three selections
were allowed me-and ran my chances
on getting the one of the three l most
cared for. The government always
sends the new men west, but does not
summarily dismiss them to some wilder.

'For instance, out of the available
posts submitted to me l chose one on
the coast, one in Colorado and one in
Kansas. According to the vacancies
which may exist l am sent to one OF
these three. Naturally the posts with
the best reputation for life are pitched
on by the vast majority. There may

ginia Farmers Alliance.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
RICHMOND, April 2s.-The railroads have
never lacked for men in the Virginia legislature
who would earnestly and ably take the corpora
ton side when any important railroad bill was
up. As rule the best champions Of the roads
have been country members. But this will not
be so in the next legislature. Railroad cham
pions from the rural districts will be exceed
ingly scarce, for the alliance has decided to
vote for no candidate who Is in any way identi-
fled with a trunk line. Such being the case
very few of the old members who are known to
be friends to railroads will allow themselves to
be nominated.
Speaker r. H. Cardwell, who has represented
Hanover county SO long. will not be n candidate
next fall. He Is popular aud useful man, u
dyed-in-the-woOl democrat, and farmer and
lawyer: but he has always been friend Of
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad-though
friend in a perfectly legitimate and honorable
way-he concludes, doubtless. that the time
has come for him to take a rest in politics.
The alliance will run the next legislature, at
least so far as electing speaker and passing a
stringent railroad bill are concerned. The
alliance includes some of the ablest men in Vir-
ginia, such as the Beverlys, Mann Page, DIR. NJ
Q. Holt and Major A. r. venable the state
agent Of the organization: but no such repre-
sentative people ran for the legislature in 1882

lation and the public may depend upon it. they
will never allow scrub to take the speaker .
gaveL They would rather give the honor to
man of ability even if he happened not to be-

ANOTHER DKMocRAr1c AsPIRANr.
Since Ii has become known, within the past
few days, that Larry t. Neal is willing to con-
test the democratic gubernatorial nomination
with Gov. Campbell, the friends OF the gov
ernor are feeling blue. Neal has declared en-
phatically that he would not become q candi-
date should the governor desire renomina-
ton. He so stated to the correspondent OF
The STAR at the Thurman banquet some
months ago. Hence it was thought that the
reported deal engineered by the Cincinnati
democrats, by which Neal was to become gov
ernor and John H. Thomas United States
Senator. was arranged without the knowledge
Of the Chiilicothe statesman. But Neal, now
that he sees Gov. Campbell will make hard
fight for denomination, has consented. as a last
resort, to Join hands with the governors enc
mics. When the story of the Neal-Thomas
combine was first printed some weeks ago il
was thought that its purpose was to brighten
the governor into declining re nomination.
In that case, of course, Neal could have entered
the race without any breach Of faith, and, as
he is extremely popular with all factions of the
democracy, he would have had little or no diff
Guilty In securing the nomination. The
developments Of the past few days. however,
show that Neal has been in the combine, at
least to the extent of personal knowledge, from
the very beginning.
WHY GOV. CAMPBELL Is OPPOSED.
The secret Of the whole fight against Gov.
Campbell lies in the fact that he has cut loose
from the men who have supported him. His
nomination and subsequent election were
made possible by the work and influence Of the
Hamilton county democratic leaders, The ex-
traordinary session Of the legislature, called by
the governor ostensibly in the interest of Off
cial purity, but by his opponents said to have
been really for the purpose of vengeance. gave
the Cincinnati people a chance to get back at
him. A bitter fractional fight followed and
upon the governor was laid the blame of the
partys defeat in Ohio last fall. Gov. Campbell 8
course since that time has not made him any
more popular with the warning factions The
report of the legislative investigating COM
mittee in the Cincinnati affair, which was in
reality slap at the governor, made matters
worse for him instead of better, and he is now
openly accused Of disrupting his party for
personal ends.
Upon the other hand Campbelrs apparent
earnestness in declaring for and insisting upon
official reform has made for him some strength
among the country democrats. While these
reformers do not have voice in controlling
the machine their support is necessary to the
partys success. Probably no other democrat
in Ohio than Neal could draw from the gov
ernor this support. Neal has heretofore held
himself aloof from the gang" and is thus pop
ular with the class of politicians who would
otherwise support the governor.

AN EXCEEDINGLY HEAVY DAY.
One Hundred and Sixty-three Cases Dis
posed of in the Police Court.

One Hundred and Sixty-three Cases Dis.
posed of in the Police Court.
Yesterday was an exceedingly heavy one TO,
the judges Of the Police Court, there being nearly
as many cases tried as there has been in one
day in the history of the court.
There were in all 163 cases disposed Of. In
the dock there were eighty-two prisoners who
did not have money enough to deposit collat.
eral for their appearance, while about the same
number had left from IS to $40 each. The
amount Of money paid in on account of fines
and colaterals aggregated a434.
Sixty-six prisoners were held who were I'm.
able to give bonds or pay their fine and they
were sent to the workhouse or Jail.
Richardson Anderson, the van driver made
three trips between the court and the Jail
which he said we're more trips than he had
made in any one day for four years.
