GAMBLING AT THE EXPOSITION.
A Rural Clergyman Expresses HIS views
on the Subject.
Dover Mines. Oct. 10, 1897.

Dover Mines, Oct. ~, 1oj-'
Editor of The Times:
As an humble representative of the
clergy of Virginia l wish through your
columns to express my hearty nd0rSe-
ment of the timely and manly article IN
your issue of the 9th Of October headed
"Gamblng Mt the Exposition by the
general secretary of the Young Men 9
Christian Association. \. Candlish. If
we are to have gambling. betting, liquor
selling and such cOrruptng and democrat
ling practices at our Exposition, why
| think our Christian people ought to
withdraw their support from it, Bar
ring these disgraceful drawbacks, our
Exposition il one that all Nirginians may
justly feel proud of. but these things are
the fly in the ointment. 1t Is good
thing for our people, especially the
younger portion, to see the exhibits Ill
agriculture. art. machinery, horticulture
and the specimens of minerals, etc, OF
our grand old State. but if to see these,
the dram shop, gambling. betting. etc,
are to follow rs cOncOmltantS. then II
will be infinitely better that our people
remain in ignorance of them. Witness
ing the grand parade of last Thursday
and later walking through the Expo
Sition grounds. as my eye rested upon
the exhibits Of Nirginia's industries, re-
sources. manufactures. etc, the feeling
Of Just pride swelcd the heart. but the
scenes outside, where there were so many
traps to catch the unsuspectlng and al
lure them 10 ruin. brought the blush OF
shame to the check Let Christian SEN
timent speak out everywhere In denun-
citation of such practices.

EFFECT OF THE n. Y. DECISION.

Tho decision of the New York Court of
ArpeaIs finally settles the fact that the
| Apportionment act of the New York
Legislature is valid and will stand. Some
of the Republican papers are limiting at
trying to get the case in the United
States Court of Appeals. but that IL evil
IDENTIFY absurd. as it is wholly a local
State issue. and il is hard to see how Il
case can be made which will give the
United States courts jurisdiction.
What will be the effect of this deci-
sion is a very interesting question. The
Democrats claim that. under the new law,
DESPITE its occasional discrimination
against Republican communities, the vote
of the people ut large will be more justly
divided. Heretofore the New York APP
portionmcnt has evidently been very I'M
lust. inasmuch as il was no uncommon
occurrence for the Democrats to elect
Governor by 10000 or 10000 majority
and yet lose the Legislature. This was
manifestly unfair. and will now be cor
rected, SO that the majority of the voters
OI the GNlNlt CAN tltib Ublu AiONtl HOl anu
the Legislature.
There is another feature of the
law which is commanding attention. We
read that, in addition TO the injustice
above noted, was the Republican omiS-
sion TO reapportion the State when and
AS the Constitution required. and. there
fore, that the overthrow of somewhat
unfair law was sought by the Itepubli-
cans for the purpose of reviying a mon
strOusly unfair one. They who sought
equity had denied it, They get greater
equity than they gave. even as Il conSe-
quence of their defeat. The contention
that the Republicans, by refusing reap
portionmcnt at one time, had made the
Democratic enactment OF il at another
time invalid, was too fiagrantly absurd
to justify the attention which the Court
of Appeals gave to it.
The Brooklyn Eagle which is one Of
the fairest and most conservative papers
published in the North, thinks that the
decision is substantial justice 1t is
legitimate factor Of great political adj
vantage, for it is on the side of majority
rule. 1t is in no small degree due to
the ability Of the counsel for the State.
the Attorncy-Gcneral whose conduct of
the cases has been admirable alike FROM
the standpoint of morals and of law. 1t
hopes that this is the last political ease
that will be put off by Republicans on
the Court Of Appeals for Il long time.

According to the correspondence of
the Baltimore Sun. Steve Elkins is count
ing largely upon using his railroad pos
sessions in West Virginia to carry the
State for the Republicans. he proposing
to make all his employees vote the Repub
lican ticket. The same authority tells
rs, however, that he will hardly be per-
mittcd to have his own sweet will I'M
opposed in the matter. since Mr..
Thomas Davis. his brother-in-law, and
Hon. Henry G.. Davis. his father-in-law,
are both interested with him, and both
are Democrats, one having served two
terms as Democratic United States Sena-
tor Besides this, his railroad, the West
Virginia Central, is constantly asking
fayors of the Legislature, and if the
road is to be used rs a Republican ma
chine, the Democratic leaders in that
body viii refuse to vote it aid. so Mr..
Elkins evidently will not find carrying
West Virginia for his party as easy a
task as he has hoped for.

stock Notes.

What is desired in feeding is to put
the largest quantity Of fat among the
flbers OF the meat
No Tolicy is more short sighted
than to feed a growing steer only a
maintenance ration.
In feeding the young calf it should
be rememb ered that he is making
muscle rather than fat.
Grow only q class of steers that are
OF such form that at the least size
will command fult prices.
1t is difficult to estimate the cost OF
the food required for the growth Of
the steer as prices vary with each
locality.
Next in Importance to providing
the kind of feed that will produce thC
largest growth is to secure perfect di
gestion.
1t is no use to get good cows anC
then give them poor feed it is goo(
cows and good feed that makes the
best combination.
Blood will tell. no matter whethe
good or bad. and in breeding cattle i
is an important item to. at least have
a good blooded bull.
All of the progress that has beel
made In improving domestic animal
has been made along the line OF selec
ton OF the best for breeding.
