F,ryoyr, WA, Aug. 2l.-For some
,,a.ss mast it has been a matter OF com
.,,n " rcoort on thestreets and in political
,i,r,es ,,' that il some recent actions Of GER
.,in county officials were known they
,garH ,,, create Il sensation, The rumors
limited at some peculiar transactions OF
= business character, in which the Off
risJ. had become inyolved,and which, ii
known, might affect the standing of
those implicated. 1t was said that
anon, certain Democratic officers OF the
connty sy a sort OF Tweed ring on small
sSI sSIIs existed; that those who were in
,.,iycI bad turned the offices to which
,I,,y bad Lecn elected by the people to

her positions for personal gain, and
,Io, ,o a, least one instance OF their so do
;"S' inc was ~ CAPABLE OF indisputable proof.
IT, !, WINS further alleged that the acts OF
which these gentlemen were privately
"rrpsed were not the first Of the kind OF
which officials OF the county had been
griI,T " but thatmattersw which would bear
inre:tipation had been going on forsome
fine and reached out into other trans:
actions than the particular one talked
about.

Asintimated above, the story limited
at was little more than street gossip
until the whole thing came out in an
uncxpected way and in the shape OF
law suit brought before Justice OF the
Peace. T. A. Fleming, OF this district,
by j. f. K. Sine, Of Fairview,
against james A. Haggerty,whois pros
Ccuting attorney OF the county, for the
recovery OF 500 lie had paid him in o
business transaction. In the trial OF
hi. suit the following facts were de-
J.E r. Sine is n citizen OF Fairview,
thriving village situated about ten
miles northeast Of Fairmont, in Marion
county, in which as yet no license for
the sale OF liquor had been granted by
the Board Of County Commissioners,
composed OF George Thomas and
$. Il. Springer, (Democrats,) and
franklin Arnett, (Republicanl. James
A. Haggerty (Democrat) and Charles
+. Manley (also Democrat) are
prosecuting attorney and clerk OF
the county court respectively. Hag-
gerty, it was developed, made known to
the said ]. +. K. Sine that it was the
desire OF the powers that be to grant to
somebody in fairview q license to sell
intoxicating drinks, and laid before Mr.,
Sine proposition that they would give
the license to any one who would give
them an equal share OF the profits with
him. Sine caughton to the idea and de-
clined to have the license granted in his
name, but Mr.. r. L. Morgan, another
resident OF Fairview, was willing that
it should be made out in his name and
share the profits. This was accordingly
done. There is no evidence involving

Matters went smoothly for some time,
until John II. Burns, another Fairview-
eF, began to make the atmosphere warm
because one man had q monopoly Of the
liquor business at that point. Then the
two Democratic commissioners and the
prosecuting attorney and Clerk Manley
sent word to Sine that they would sell
their shares in the business. They pro-
posed that Ii he (Sine, the silent part
her with Morgan) would give Prosecut-
ing Attorney Haggerty $500 and cor
tam consideration 10 each OF the other
officials, that he should continue to
have the exclusive right at Fairview to
Sell liqGor-that no one else would be
granted license; that Haggerty would
sIoPall Illicit sales by other parties and
grant Sine all favors in his power by
virtue OF his Office as prosecuting attor-
hey such as pigeon.holing indictments,
siC; and to close a speak-easy known as
White Rock" Sine accepted the prop
ooslhon according TO the evidence be-
lore lore the Justice OF the peacej, and paid
iiiasgerty 500 down, giving his note for
S5OJ for the balance. The license was
ihen assigned to Sine by Morgan, Prose
cutting Attorney llaggerty becoming
one oi SIne's bondsmOn.

Those American socialists who 60 TO interna-
tional labor congresses to denounce their own
people and describe the condition Of their own
country in extravagant language, at once abb
surd and untrue, ought to have a chilly recep-
ton on their return to the United States. There
il no excuse for such language as that reported
as having been uttered by New York delegate
ut Brussels The man Is probably one of those
theorists who have come here from some Euro
pean country having much less freedom OF
thought than our own. lie has either not staid
here long enough to learn anything or he is
man with q bad heart who seeks to misrepre-
sent in order that he may destroy. He would
have beer in his proper place with the excluded
anarchists. for his sentiments are evidently
those Of the destructive school and not Of the
saner socialists. The scope and plan Of social
ism are. as whole. delusive, but the objects
sought to be achieved by the more moderate
leaders are in accord with modern free thought.
The trouble with the principles Of socialism. as
with ether movements having for their prime
purpose the improvement Of society, is that
they are ohimerical. Not accepting themselves
the results of mans progress, the reformers
attempt 10 build in the air fine theory of what
q model state should be, and demand that il be
accepted by practical men,

The Virginia Farmers Alliance was called
on to deal IN convention with question Of
peculiar import. when the character Of the
alliance IL considered. The question was no
other than the fitness Of indorsiug nominees for
the legislature who are either railroad attor-
neys or supposed to be favorable to railway as
opposed to popular interests. The action Of
the Hanover county sub-alliance that had in
dorsed two such nominations was condemned
AMI tie order placed in a consistent attitude.
The singular thing is that such action could
ever have been taken by the sub-alliance, when
the position Of the body at large ia well known
TO be to put checks on corporations where. in
the Judgment Of the people. it is requisite.
Ore OF the issues before the Virginia public in
connection with the next legislature is the es-
Enlistment Of a railway commission.

The uncertainties Of New York politics are
well illustrated in the issue of some Of the re-
cent primary contests Gov. Hill got control
Of Erie county. but now Osvego is claimed by
both Cleveland and Hill. The facts, as stated
on apparently disinterested authority. are
briefly these: The mayor led the Cleveland
forces, the recorder the supporters Of Hill.
The latter tried to take snap Judgment by get
ting the caucus called for an early hour. before
the Cleveland men could leave their daily
work. But in this il seems they were circum-
verted, for the latter were on hand. Then the
chairman. a Hillite. decided motion to elect
Hill delegates carried. after free fight and
general confusion. But the Cleveland demo-
Gratis held a caucus and elected delegates. The
chairman OF the first meeting had the leader Of
the other faction arrested by the recorder, his
own leader. along with several others. OF
course this created tremendous excitement,
which has turned against the Hill men on ac-
count Of their violence. New York politics are
Sensational in their Kaleidoscope changes.
