MIR. Brokmeyer Cut 1t Short.

When Lieutenant Governor Norman j.
Colman was about to close his career as
president of the state senate he deemed it
an appropriate occasion on which to define
his political platform and to discuss the
theories of government. He arose to speak
at IL 80 o'clock. His successor, the Hon
II. G. Brokmeyer, occupied an anteroom,
ready to be inaugurated when summoned
by the senate. He was also primed with a
speech that was to be the effort of his life
Governor Colman had just finished his
thanks" at HAS o'clock. At noon he was
saying, And in the second place, fellow
citizens" Mr.. Brokmeyer grew more and
more nervous. He paced up and down the
narrow confines of the anteroom, and sent
out messengers to ascertain when Mr.. Col
man would quit. At 1918 o'clock Mr.. Col
man was beginning to classify his subject
into subdivisions, and at 1890 he had
plunged into the tariff with all the enthu
siasm of his ardent democratic nature.
Mr. Brokmeyer was furious. His oppor
tunity was gone, and his remarks were un
fit for publication. AT l2:45 Mr.. Colmar
closed, with an eloquent peroration, ant
then sent committee to escort Mr.. BrOk

His Rock hound Tomb.

We arc now right in the midst Of the
gold mines. Away up the sides Of the
mountains arc winding roads leading
up to the entrance of the great mines.
Others are so inaccessible that they can
only be reached by the burro brigade.
Whole strings of these patient little
animals may be seen toiling up the
mountain with sixteen foot fence boards
trailing mt their sides, six boards being
a load for each burro. Many of the
mines are SO near that they can be
reached on foot, while carriages are in
waiting to carry persons to more dis
tant ones.
Away up near the snow line is a tail
shaft of pure white marble. 1t rises
out of the top of a gigantic rock, and
marks the last resting place of Clifford
Griffin, an eccentric brother of the
owner of the great 730 group of mines.
He was a young man who came from
the east for his health. He lived alone
in luxuriantly furnished cabin, the
gift of his brother. In his wanderings
on the mountain young Griffin used to
rest upon this great rock and became
so attached to it that he expressed a
wish to be buried in its granite en-
brace should any mishap befall him.
One beautiful morning they found him
dead in his cabin. In accordance with
his desire they chiseled his grave in this
great rock, and laid him to rest on the
spot he loved so well.--Cor Omaha

TRAIN WRECKERs.

The information given in another column
by Major Sully Of the recent attempt to
wreck passenger trains on the Richmond and
Petersburg railway brings up the unspeaka-
bic horror of wholesale slaughter so certainly
accomplished by deraling passenger train
while moving at full speed.
1t is almost inconceiyable that human
being can be so wholly devoid of humanity
rs to recklessly murder Unfortunately men,
women and children, with perhaps the most
terrible torture. for the sake of picking up in
the confusion something from the dead or
wounded.
The law of Virginia on the subject is quoted
below. and il is we'll to keep it before the
mind of the public, as the safety of the
travelling public depends upon the vigilance
of the officers of the law and the promptness
OF its execution.
Code of Virginia section 3725: "Obstruct-
ing or injuring canal. railroad, &c: how
punished. If any person maliciously obstruct
remove or injure any part of canal or rail
road. or any bridge or fixture thereof. or OBJ
struct any machinery, work or engine thereof
whereby the life of any traveller or other
person on such canal or road is put in peril
he shall be confined in the penitentiary not
less than five nor more than eighteen years;
and in the event of the death of any traveller
or other person resulting from such malicious
obstructing. removing or injuring. the per-
son 80 offended shall be deemed guilty Of
murder in the first degree"
In view of the facts as stated by Major
Sully it is very much to be hoped that the re-
port which appeared in THE TIMES is correct,
and that these offenders. no matter if they
are young. have been sent on to Chesterfield
County Court for trial, and not let off with
short holiday in jail.

AN ALLIANCE ORATOR,

The chief speaker at the recent meeting Of
the Farmers Alliance in Stanton, Mr.
Beaumont who said he was what would be
called an agitator and was chairman Of the
Central Labor Committee of the Knights of
Labor and editor of an Alliance paper pub
lished in Washington. d. c., gained a good
deal Of adventitIous importance from the
character of the gentlemen under whose aus
pices he was introduced, and who, il is 10 be
presumed. were approving listeners to his re-
marks.
1t was surely q notable scene when men
who have been bred in the air Of purest per-
sonal liberty and of local self-government,
who themselves. or at least some of them
have contended with their lives for the princi-
pie Of decentralization of the Government
should secure as their mouthpiece an advo-
cate for the assumption by the Government
Of such functions as would at once realize all
that the most sanguine European Socialist
would ask for
1t is astonishing that Virginians, who them
selves and their ancestors have for generations
avOwed the faith that the Government was
the servant of the people should pell-mell
throw overheard every previous conviction
and swallow greedily these new doctrines
coming from people. who have alternated
between the dreams of the closeted visionary
and the real chains Of the open slave-as fit
substitutes for the experience and sef-rejance
of men who have governed themselves for
centuries
But there IS no danger of any such wild
theories being put into practice by people ac-
customed to self-government. We do not
fear that Mr.. Beaumont and all of his dis
tinguished auditors and approvers can
persuade the people of these United States
10 surrender to the Government all the
railroads, banks, insurance companies and all
other corporations aud thus convert the Gov
eminent into one grand consolidated corpora
ton in which W build he lost that individual
citizen whose glory has heretofore been that his
Government belonged to him and not he to

taxed his strength TO any very trying degree.
II is highly improbable that he has lost his in
terest in politics or has cooled in the ardor OF
his loyalty to tho Republican party. He Is
still young man, and must continue TO in
dulge an aspiration for the highest political
preferr.ent.
Is il possible that his conscience is pricking
him under the prolonged attacks which have
been made upon him for the very unscrupu-
lous manner in which he has employed the
power Of his two chairmanships. OF used the
fiat" which has been turned over to him for
purposes Of political greasing? To those who
have followed the career of Quay it seems
very improbable that he loses any sleep st
night on account of the official Inalfeasance
with which he has been SO persistently
charged, not only by the Democratic party,
but by an important section of his own party
in the State of Pennsylvania. Whatever the
motive of the ex-chairman in reslgning, only
highly wrought imagination will attribute
it to an improved sense on his part of what IS
Just and honorable.
On the other hand it requires a still more
painful intellectual effort to conceive that the
members of the National Republican Com
mittee have deliberately forced Quay to with
draw because his reputation was too malodo-
rous for their delicate consciences 10 approve
OF, and they did not wish the exalted mission
of the Republican party in the approaching
campaign. the mission of further depicting
the National treasury 10y new jobbery, as well
as the pockets of American citizens through
the Mckinley law, TO bs lowered by the fact
that so bad a man as Quay was directing
every important movement in that campaign.
The Republican party, it is to be sincerely
regretted, has not yet reached such @ degree
Of saintlness as this. With that party the
only object appears to be to win victory
irrespective OF the unscrupulousness of the
methods adopted. or the degraded character
of the personal instrumentalities employed.
There is no ground. therefore, for believing
that an objection to Quay on the score of his
unsavory reputation was the leading infu-
ence that prompted him to offer his resigna-
ton.
If we had no other reason for believing
this the simple fact that Clarkson succeeds
him is sufficient confirmation of the sup
position that he is considered quite good
enough by the members of his old committees
to be allowed a continued association with
them. Clarkson. it 10 true, has never been
charged with embezzlement in Office like
Quay. but at the same time he is Justly con-
sidered TO be equally determined upon sue
cess and equally indifferent TO the means,
however foul OF however criminal, by which
il can be secured.
