KILLIsM IN VIRGINIA.

A few days since the Times rcceiv
ed u letter from one of it's corres
pondents stating that it was believed
that there was some danger of n
movement being innugurated in this
State similar to that recently cnrried
out in New York. 1t is well known
that while the sentiment of the Dem
ocratic masses of Virginia is over
whelmingly IN favor of Mr.. Cleve
land as the next presidential nominee
of the party, tho politicians, or many
OF them, are bitterly opposed to him,
and it is, therefore, believed that eff
forts will be made to set the machine
at work in Virginia, so as to capture
the Stale convention, and secure n
delegation from Virginia to Chicago
favorable to Hill.
1t is not at al probable that any
such tactics can succeed here. That
was the plan which Malone formerly
adopted to got possession of the
State, and he has always worked the
ss1Be machine methods to hold well
in hand his Republican cohorts. The
Democratic masses of the State. how
ever, have gotten into the habit of
doing their own thinking and refus.
ing to permit themselves to be led
by the nose by schemng politicians.
They will be likely, in seeking dele
gates to the State convention, to see
that the gentlemen chosen shall voice
their sentiments rather than those OF
the politicians, and that the dele
gates to Chicago shall be representa-
tives of the voters and not of tho
wire pullers.
While, however, there is not much
probability that the scenes recently
enacted m New York will DO repeat
cd in Virginia. it is well for the note
OF alarm 30 be sounded 80 that the
voters of the State may be on their
guard. Political workers acquire
great ingenuity by practice in "set-
ting up the triggers and if the PEG.
pie sleep, or are unwary, they may
find themselves unexpectedly caught
in trap. They must keep their
eyes wide open and see that they are
not hoodwinked, and that their pub
lie servants carry out their wishes
If they will do this there will be no
possibility of the success of Hillism
in Virginia. Richmond Times.

WANT FREE DELIVERY.

Or MAILS IN THE Rural DIsrRrc rs
Mr. Henderson, Of North Carolina,
chairman of the House Committee on
Postoffices and Pestroads, is in re
cript of many suggestions from per-
sons in different sections of the coun
try in regard to free delivery sys
tenn in rural districts. The commit
tee has already granted hearings to
persons interested in the matter, and
some claim that the small amount
appropriated for experimental pur-
poses has been expended in testing
the system in villages. One inter
ested IN this work has written to
Chairman Henderson to the effect
that If Congress would appropriate
100000 for the free delivery of
mails i'll the rural districts in twelve
months the service would not only
become self supporting, but would
become source of revenue to b. g
Government.

ODESSA, May 2.-Baron Mains, q
banker ard merchant, recently received
a demand from an anonymous source
for $4,000 roubles to be given tenants
on his estates who were said to he suf-
fcring from famine. He paid no attcn-
ton to the demand and the consequence
was that his farms, valuable grancries,
and other property were harmed and
his horses and cattle were turned loose.

ROME, May 27.-signor Giolitti, the
new prime minister, announced to the
Chamber of Deputies to-day that the
members of the Cabinet had rendered
their designations, but that King Hum
bert had refused to accept them. He
therefore asked the chamber to pass
the most urgent bills now before it and
to grant the government vote on &C
count for the next six months The
prime minister's announcement caused
great sensation in the House. 1t is
generally taken to portcnd that the
dissolution OF the House is imminent.
There is no doubt that the resignation
of the ministry was precipitated by the
vote taken in the Honse yesterday ON
the question Of confidence in the min
istry. The result was a victory for the
ministry, but the margin was close.
The new Cabinet was only definitely
formed on May Is and its practical
overthrow has therefore been matter
of only few days.

THE VIRGINIA ARcHIvEs.-About
two weeks ago the State Librarian, Mr..
Charles Poindexter, received a cata-
logue from Boston book auction house
in which were listed for sale about sixty
letters addressed to Governors Jefferson
and Nelson, of Virginia. Secretary-of-
the-C Commonwealth Flournoy immedi-
ately wrote to the Boston house de-
handing the letters on the ground that
they were State archives, their adj
dresses being prima .tacie evidence that
they were the property of the Common
wealth and had been stolen.
This demand was refused, and few
days ago NIr. Poindexter went to Bos-
ton to get out an injunction against the
sale of the letters. The case will come
up for hearing in June. 1t is supposed
that the letters were stolen from the
Capitol when the federal troops took
possession of the building after the
evacuation, and when theyipillaged the
archives right and left and also carried
off large numbers of bonds belonging to
the sinking fund.
The Boston firm are innocent parties
in tho transaction and will hold the let
tiers subject to the decision of the court.

TIE DEMANDS OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
On Tuesday night last, it was stated in the
board of Common Council that "thc council
had, from year to year, paid more than the
law required" The gentleman who made
the assertion was simply mistaken, The law
authorizes the School Board to ask and requires
the City Council to appropriate not more than
tirice the sum a2portioncd TO the city schools
by the State. Only once, before this year, has
the demand exceeded the legal requirement,
and that was when the coupons absorbed
nearly all the school funds, situation which
the General Assembly promptly relieved by
the passage of the Henckle bill. This year
the excess is only about $500. The gentle
man is further reported TO have said that the
School Board had undertaken to bring the
schools up to higher standard than the city
could afford" think the gentlcmans con-
stituents, who almost TO 4 nan educate their
children in the public schools, can be safely
trusted to answer him on that point. 1t is
my duty to make the schools rs good rs l can,
and that duty have endcavored conscien-
tiously to perform, certainly not to the adj
vanccmcnt of my personal interests. If the
people do rot want the best schools they can
get for their children, / have nothing more TO
say. RICHARD L. CARSE,
City Superintendent Public Schools.
