Death of Edwin Harvie Smith.

Edwin Harvie Smith, eldest son of
the late John Amber Smith and
Mamie L. Smith, died in Washington
on the 18th inst. He was just enter
ing the threshold of manhood, being
IS years and months old, and he was
therefore just at the age when he could
have aided in the support of his
widowed mother, sister and brothers.
But an allwise Providence seems to
have ordered it otherwise and his af-
ficted mother is again, in a few short
months, called upon to bow her head
to a stroke scarcely less severe than
she received in the loss of her husband.
Harvie Smith was a young man of
naturally brightly intellect, and pos
sessed of a most affectionate and gen
erous nature, which endeared him to
his associates in a high degree.
His mother and other relatives have
the sincere sympathy of their friends in
this sad bere " ement.-Spi7It Of the
Valley.
The bereavel widow and mother is
daughter of Ex-senator John F.
Lewis of Rock ngham.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9th.
What Will the Ticket Be?

No one can foreknw the result, yet
we are still of the opinion expressed
some months ago that the Democratic
ticket will be either Cleveland and
Gray, or Flower and Gray.
We do not think there is any chance
for Hill, and if the feud between the
Hill and Cleveland supporters cannot
be settled so that union and harmony
will be secured, it would be running a
great risk to nominate Cleveland, as
the division in New York would most
probably cause the loss of the vote OF
that State, and without that vote no
Democratic candidate can be elected
President.
The vote of that State might be
given to Gov. Flower, if nominated;
and if that be the opinion of the Chi
cago Convention, the nominees may
be Gov. Flower, of N. Y, for President,
and Gov. Gray, of Indiana, for Vice
President.

The NOyeS-R0ckWell Contest.

In speaking of the Noyes-RockweH
contest for seat in Congress in when
the majority of the elections commit
tee, of which O'Ferrall is Chairman, re-
ported in fave of Noyes, the RepubE-
can contestant, but the House voted
in favor of Rockwell, the Democrat,
the Lynchburg Vargimaon says that,
$50 far as it has been able to keep track
of the case, the evidence does not es-
tablish Noyes' legal right to the seat
beyond question, but it shows very
clearly that he had a stronger case
than Mr.. Rockwell from a legal point
of view. In the election there were %
marked ballots cast for Rockwell,
which under the new ballot law OF the
State were illegal and had to be thrown
out. There were also sixteen irregu-
lar ballots, alluded to as Doyle bal
lots'' in the debate, that were cast fol-
Moves and counted for him, the voters
having presumably voted for doyle
under the impression that they were
voting for Noyes. The claim OF Mr.
Rockwell's friends was that if the
twenty-eight marked ballots cast fol
him, but thrown out, had been count
ed, and the sixteen "Doyle' ballots
counted for Noyes had been rejected
Rockwell would have had a majority
| Colonel O'Ferrall, Chairman of the
| Committee on Privileges and Elections
took the ground that the twenty eigh
marked ballots cast for Rockwell wer'
illegal ballots, and under the decision
of the Supreme Court of New York
could not have been counted for him
and that even if the sixteen Doyle
ballots counted for Noyes had been re
iected as illegal, the latter would still
have had majority.
This is plain statement of the case
as far as the proceedings show, and OF
the face of it, it would seem that Noye
was entitled to the seat unless he wa
disqualified by some other cause"

fifteen years ago. Freeland was a

have had his preliminary trial before
Justice Rohr on Tuesday But when
the case was called and the witnesses
were on hand, Driver was not to be
found. He skipped between two days,
leaving his bondsmen, Geo. B. Keezel,
John Soule and John B. Peale, to set
tie with the State. Such small bonds
for such heinous offences are tempta-
tions to criminals and scoundrels to
evade the law.-State Republican.

Why the democratic, the peoples
party, in this country, should bother
itself about cheap or dear silver dol
lars, is one of the many things which
no sensible fellow can find out, as no
matter how many or how few of such
dollars may be coined, no poor man
would get single one except for labor
or for something he may have to sell.
But it can readily be seen why the
democratic party should strive to have
the tariff lowered or removed, because
1t increases the price of nearly every
thing the poor man has to buy.-AleG.

WHEAT CROP PROsPECTs.-The re-
port of the Department of Agriculture
showing the condition of the wheat
crop on the first day of April has been
issued. By this it appears that the
average condition of the crop in the
principal winter-wheat States-Ohio,
Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri
and Kansas-is twenty points lower
than on the same date in 1891, or "
against 97.3. In New York it is 81,
Pennsylvania, 81; in the States from
Delaware to North Carolina, including
Maryland, it varies from 70 to Sc, 80 to
90 in the Southern belt and high on
the Pacific. In Maryland the condition
is given at So, as against SO last year.
During the month of April great
change generally takes place in the
condition of wheat when the weather
is favorable.
