Big Fire at Lynchburg.

LYycHBURG, Va, Nov. 24.-The most
dirastrous fire that ever visited this State
started early this morning on Lynch street
in Wright & Craighill's fertilizer es-
tablishment. Owing TO a strong north,
west wind the fire soon got beyong control
of the aremen, and in few minutes the
adjoining building occupied by w. A. Hef-
fern as sash, door and stained glass
manufactory, was in ashes. The large
tobacco factories of S. p. Halsey and h.
c. Stokes & Co. were next taken possession
of by the flames and the buildings aud
their contents were quickly swept away.
The fire then spent itself upon q few re-

WASHINGTON, D. c., November "a
Representative Pendle.ou got here to-
day and mas received many COEgratula-
tious on his reelection in spite Of the
desperate fight on him by Secretary
EIkins and his colleagues In the.Cabinet
who gathered in such force al Wheel
iug on the last days Of the campaign.
Mr. Pend eton, liks all the other mem
bers and Senator'S coming TO town just
now, has been asked his views on the
adysabiity Of an extra session
and gave them promptly. lie
is strongly in favor OF an extra
session, believing that the work of
tariff revision cannot begin too soon.
The meaning of the great Democratic
victory, he said, was that the pee he
wanted the tariff reduced and they
should be given the relief they ask as
quickly rs possible. Mr.. Pendiet0n
also wanted an extra session 50 that the
present federal election law could be
wiped OF the statute books, and John
l. Davenport and all his kind sent to
Join McGuty 40 the bottom of the sea.
On the question OF the Speakership OF
the next Congress, Mr.. PendletUn said
he did not think there would be any
serious opposition 20 the reelection Of
Speaker Crisp. The latter had made
an excellent Speaker, and Mr.. Paudie-
ton declared he was for him for another
term.

A WORD TO mR. SMITH.

An evening paper that IS practically
owned and controlled by one of the can
dijates whose votes are now being re-
counted, makes an attack upon the
Board Of Commissioners which reflects
no credit upon the paper or upon the
candidate who controls the paper.
The vote was close. Arec0uut was
demanded i'm accordance with the law,
and ybe Board has fairly and couscieu-
tiously done its duty. II IL has erred

ceiyed the benefit.
Does lIr. S,urH wish to an an Office
60 which his title is not clear? Judg-
ms FROM the sIanderous articIe in his
newspaper last evening it would ac-
tlsliy seem so.
is he trying to bulldoza the Board of
Commissioners? Tn view Of his indie
cent abuse Of that body it would APP

Wbata spectacle is presented by q
candidate FOR public Office who uses his

WALKING APART.

a small sensation has rervaded the at
mosphere of a certain literary circle in this
city, based upon q disagreement between a
husband and wife in regard to the wife's
duty. As both parties TO the disagreement
are estimable people. the conditions the dis
agreement reveals may be freely discussed
The fact seems 10 be that after marriage the
wife conceived the idea that she had more
important duties to perform than arose
from the wife's condition. The husband
thought the wife's first duty was to be a
wife, admitting that he had no objection to
tie performance OF higher duties after
ward. AS the wife would not consent to
this order Of duties, she furnished grounds
for divorce by placing 5000 miles of the
earth's surface between herself and her
spouse. This appears to be case OF con-
jugal infelieity in which neither party
was at fault The husband could not bring
himself to consider writing for magazines
and newspapers as a higher duty than pre-
siding over his home and helping to educate
their child; the wife. on her part, could not
reDress the inclination TO instruct the pub
lie on matters concerning which both her
self and the public are profoundly ignorant.

THE CONDITION IN FRANCE.

French banker is reported as saying:
/ believe we are on the eve or q revolution.
Few outside of France nave any conception of
tie danger OF the situation. The temper OF the
people Is not understood. They cannot or will
not distinguish between The Government Itself
and the individuals composing IL.
In moral sense there is none. cor
rupt official may from prudence refrain
from involving his government In pecuniary
loss, but 30 one would consider the govern
ment safe in his hands. Ii the individual
holding an Office is known to be corrupt
little confidence Is felt in his official lnteg-
rty. The French people are therefore quite
right in refusing to believe the Government
any better than the men composing it. But
the French people should bear in mind the
fact that similar conditions have prevailed
under other forms of government The
scandals growing out of the Panama canal
enterprise are mild when compared with
ehe system OF robbery which. under the Sec
ond empire, sent French armies into the
field without arms or ammunition. Tie
Panama affair involves a simple steal; the
army restitution involved patriotism as well
as theft. The consequence of the army des-
titution was the humiliation of France.
Thousands Of millions CT dollars were a
part of the penalty the French had 10 pay,
but the money sacrifice was the least of
their troubles. What France grieves over
to-day is the fact that an enemy dictated
terms Of peace in her capital city, which
despoiled France of two Of her fairest

AT THE OLD GAME.

In recent letter to the members Of the
Traffic Association Mr.. L. r. Sage, mad
vertently or otherwise, makes the following
remark
1t is a strange thing that as soon as anything
Of interest exclusively to San Francisco IS lak ed
of, some parties Will insist that it Is Southern
Pacific movement.
1t would be strange, indeed, If anybody
should insist that the Southern Pacific is
desiring policy for the especial benefit of
San FrancicO. That company has not, as
general thing. made its own interests in
any sense subordinate to the interests of
this city.
The merchants Committee" which Mr..
Sage is secretary Of. is working exactly on
the lines the Southern Pacific newspaper
organs have worked upon. He SAYS. in
substance, that the Traffic Association aims
to deprive the interior Of certain terminal
points which the railroad company has
given them. If the object of this repre-
sentatioD, or Misrepresentation, is not to
set the interior of the State against the city.
no policy could easily be devised more
effectively to do 80. When the Traffic As
ISOLATION was first formed lis executive
committee found it necessary to declare by
resolution that it had no such purpose. It's
course so far has been true to that declara-
ton. The city hopes to make Itself the
distributing point for the State, but II pro-
poses to accomplish that purpose by putting
itself In condition to supply interior cities
on better terms than they are now supplied

company has established

de wants nothing not within his reach. In
spite of this assurance, however. there is a
widespread apprehension that this remark
able conteBtment arises from the fact that
the tiger has measured his reach and
finds that it extends to the White House.
One can imagine Mr.. Richard Croker CON-
ing from an interview with Mr.. Cleveland
with the assurance that Tammany should
have full control of New York patronage
and talking just as Mr.. Croker is now re-
ported as talking. But if Tammany does
not name the Collector of the Port of New
York there will be worse row than there
was in 1881, when Garfield appointed Rob-
ertson over Conkling's choice.

like Paris there are all kinds and conditions
of men-honest men as well as knaves. 1t
is hard to conceive a man like Nj. Carnot or
M. de Freycinet or III. Ribot or half

a bride. If any one in this country should
accuse Mr.. Harrison or Mr.. Foster or MI
Cleveland or Mr.. Whitney of having taken
money from corporation the aceuser would
be overwhelmed under an avalanche of pub
lie scorn, and the public men who were
accused would not be called upon for their
defense. 1t is hardly to be supposed that
the standard of public men of the first rank

The Interstate Commission say in their
annual report that "in the main complaints
arise from discrimination and preference in

stated with substantial truth that the pub

Only few railroad men know the cost of

LET THE WORK GO ON.

There is a disposition on the part of
reputable members of tie San Francisco
bar to draw broad lines of distinction be-
tween the foOtpad methods Of certain
class Of lawyers and those which reputable
lawyers may follow. Tire line cannot be
too broad nor drawn too soon. There is a
somewhat general impression now that a
class Of men become LAWYERS for the CON-
parative safety the profession affords for
the practice of another occupation. The
honorable lawyer should not permit
this impression to gain ground. 1t is al
ready somewhat too prevalent for the good
Of grand profession. It has sometimes
been said that there are too many lawyers
in this city. Whether or not this be true.
there are certainly too few in a well-k known
institution in a neghboriug county.
