LoNACoNINS, May 6, 1891.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
1t is very early to talk about the
judgeship-that is, the succession to
Judge Hoffman, but republican con-
yersation on that subject has begun.
What party or other necessity, if
any, exists that will force his retire
ment | do not know, but should it so
result his successor must, of course. be
an Allegany county man.
But that the latter should be a re-
publican is not An essential in the case
The field is open to all parties that
can afford good lawyers, and the better
the lawyers the better result for all
concerned.
AS said before, nobody has spoken
of the matter in any public way ex-
cept republicans, and they haye named
a man whom | endorse in every par
ticular-B. A. Richmond. He is a
sound lawyer and fully identified with
our county and people. He knows
everybody and everybody knows him.
To put him or the bench is to take a
man from our midst and elevate him
to place whose occupants very often
fail to properly measure our abilities
and sympathize with our condition.
| vote the republican ticket nearly
every time and | want republican
judge continued in Hoffman's place.
If nothing appears against Hoffman
l see no reason or change, but if
Hoffman must step down and out, am
for Richmond first, last and all the
time. Nor A POLITICIAN.

The fourth number of the Buena

table. J. R. Grove is publisher and
senior editor. The paper is an eight
column folio, we'll printed and a
venture of interest to the JOURNAL be-
cause Mr.. Grove was one of the twain
who nearly twenty years ago presided
over the JOURNAL. His co-laborer
now is c. A. Fleming. Both are good
newspaper men, worthy of the success
it is hoped they will meet in field of
great development.

The JOURNAL is informed by its
mailing clerk that humble, of
memoranda has gone out to delinquents
showing how much each ought to pay
toward keeping the great paper on its
feet. ''There is hardly an institution
in the county which, wiped out by
neglect, would be more missed than
the JOURNAL" This last remark is
not original. 1t was stolen bodily
from the talk of two gentlemen last
Saturday evening.

the injunction contained in the head

High Price for Old Water Works.

This comes from New York under
date of May 5:
The New York Court of Appeals today
decided the famous Brooklyn water company
scandal adversely to the city. The decision
is OH the appeal of an indignant taxpayer
who>sned to prevent the city officials wasting
the public money in paying scandalously
high price for the plant and franchise of
suburban water company, the stock of
which was held by number of the chief
men in the local democratic ring. Mayor
Chaplin was coerced by this ring into assent
ing to this purchase. and the conclusion of
the case, stamping the bargain as corrupt and
unjust, is considered as ending his chances as
a candidate for governor, which the Kings
county democrats were preparing to push
vigorously.
There is a very fine old moral to be
drawn from this example of municipal
economy.
Put into words it will read some
thing like this:
There is no man or set of men in
any community whose interest is
greater than that 'of the whole COM
munity.

All Roads Lead From Rome.


The Homecoming Star gives George
P. Rowell & Co. as "another author
ity'' for the validity of Lonaconing's
second-place claim.
But where do Rowell & Co. get their
information concerning Lonaconing's
population ?
Exactly from Homecoming papers.
Their blank asking for circulation
contains a population query also, as
we'll as place where the very enter
prising publisher can swear to lie.
For instance, publisher in Iona
coming can write after the question
population ?" the figures "5,793."
The blank goes to Rowell and returns
to the tlamboyant publisher with the
gist of his report published in a book.
The publisher comes out and parades
Rowell, an advertising sharp and
shark, as standard authority on circu-
lation and population.
If the little editor, then, with a
taste for big numbers, after filling the
blank, will go before a magistrate
(notary public preferred and make
affidavit to his list, he may set Rowell
to wondering why this is thus, but it
passes.
And then Rowelf guarantees" him
Yea, verify, Rowell guarantees
anybody that will make affidavit solely
on the ground that an affidavit on
which Rowell can fall back on does
not hurt Rowell. He plays on it as a
card of mutual introduction put in his
hands by men to whom the making of
affidavits is not serious matter.
Rowell & Co. are, therefore, no
authorities on population nor circula-
ton, especially population, and more
particularly circulation.

Mr.. D. Armstrong, of Allegany county,

here said he, land believe that there is
no growing town in the country that offers
more opportunities than here There may
not be as much real estate speculation, but
the large number of buildings now going up
is good sign.
81 believe the stringency in the money
market last fall was a good thing for
the city, as it will make people more con-
sentative. The financial institutions are
sound and managed by conservative men.
Roanoke has bright prospects for the
future and will be city of import
ance. What is most needed now is out
side capital. All that is necessary to con-
vince men that this is good place for safe
and profitable investment is to bring them
mere and let them see for themselves. or
course man must exercise prudence here as
elsewhere"

from the section in which Mr.. Armstrong
lives, and recently there have been rumors
