Public Morals.

The Charlottesville Duly Progress
makes some pertinent observations on
the subject of public morals, and sharply
criticises those who manifest a spirit of
intolerance in such matters. 1t says:
1.-THE best conservators of public NOR
ais are not those men or women who
pursue one idea to the exclusion of all
others. Men should have broad views OF
men and things, and with characters
formed by enlightened Christian train
ing they may be able to discern between
the rights of men.
1t may be that in our civil life the
many vices to which men are susceptible
may be curtailed by the proper use of
legislation. But there is scarcely a law
bearing upon the many popular evils
that does not in some way infringe upon
the rights or opinions of some. 1t may
be that the majority is effected by such
measures; most probably the minority.
In either case some one is hurt; and it
shows all the more the necessity of
striking wise medium in all public acts,
SO that what is fair for one may not be
injury to the Other'

Hon. Lno. w. Daniel.

The name of Hon. Jno. w. Daniel hav-
ing been mentioned in connection with
the vacancy on the U. s. Supreme Court,
occasioned by the death of Justice
Blatchford, the Senator says that he is
not an aspirant for that position. He
thinks Hon. J. G. Catlin of New York
stands good chance for the appoint
ment, as he is from the same State as
the late Justice Blatchford.
Senator Daniel is learned and pro>
found lawyer who would grace the high
est judicial tribunal in the land. His
appointment, should it fall to him, would
be received by all parties and all classes
in Virginia and the South as a great
tribute to very able man, and give to
the country an upright and courageous
Judge. Yost's Weekly.

A Groundless Objection.

Those opposing the nomination OF Jno.
A. Bowles, ESQ.,, for the Legislature, base
their objection to him on the ground
that he is too young Such an objection
should not be given moments consld-
Grafton by an intelligent voter. On the
contrary, the fact that he is a young
and ambitious Democrat, graduate OF
Washington & Lee University, Jealous
Christian and industrious citizen, should
commend him to all fair-minded voters.
Mr.. Cleveland, in the selection OF men to
fill the various governmental Offices
from Foreign Ministers to District At
torneys, has dealt very literally with
young men. Therefore, if his opponents
can offer no other excuse for conspirlng
against him, their efforts in this direc-
ton are not likely to be successful.
Such question was not raised when
Mr.. Bowles, at the age of II, was called
to preside over the deliberations OF
Convention of his party, held in this city
Allegheny county's candidate is fairly
| entitled to the nomination. Let the
Democrats stand as unit.

Governor Waite Said to Be Nobody and

Hagerman, a wealthy mine owner Of
Colorado Springs, last evening. Ito sup
pose that Governor Waite represents
the sentiment of the State. He is an ex-
IRENE nobody and represents nobody in
the State He was nominated by dis
satisfied Republicans and Democrats to
defeat Harrison. The Democrats were
anxious to do that and urged him upon
the people. But Governor Waite is a
man in whom no one, except a few ex-
tremists, has any confidence, and is
therefore nota representative of the peo>
pie in the State, except SO far as his
views on free coinage go. 1t is unfortu-

sentiment of the State.''
Mr.. Hagerman added that the men in

expressions.
