Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1893-02-18

The action OF the County Alliance
at Parksley last Wednesday was, we
believe, step in the right direction.
We agree with them thai there was
nothing to be gained by o further
union with the State Alliance and
very heartily concur with them, in
the opinion, that there was neces-
sity for retaining their organization
in the county. Their action indeed
was so nearly in accord with views
long entertained by us, that it looks
almost like "they had stolen our
thunder" We could never see what
benefit could accrue to us from the
connection with Alliances in
other parts in the State, too remote
from us to be beneficial, if their in
forests were not as they often are
entirely in conflict with ours, but the
necessity for an organization among
ourselves was never doubted by us.
With identical interests to be pro-
mcted and like grievances to be re-
dressed, the ends desired Of course,
can be best attained by cooperation.
Indeed, with the fight they now have
on their hands against the \. Y, ?.
s. y. r. r. Co., in the matter OF
freights, they could not disband, but
that is very far from being the only
reason why organization among them
is necessary For instance, it was in
testimony in the Railroad case that
barrel of potatoes could not be
raised for less than a dollar per bar
rel. and does anyone doubt that our
farmers by acting together could in
IL great measure control the market
and prevent them from being sold at
ruinous prices? Indeed, could theynot
SO regulate the supply that it would
not be greater than the demand?
Would not concert of action on their
part lead to a greater diversity Of
crops, better methods Of cultivation,
better preparation Of their produce
for market and give them the power,
it may be, to bring purchasers to
their very doors, of their produces.
The good to be obtained by organi-
zation could be elaborated indefinite
ly. By all means, the organization
proposed should be effected and
every farmer at least should feel it
his duty to be member of it.

President-elec Cleveland has OF
ficially announced tho names OF i've
members of his cabinet and will give
the names of other gentlemen selected
to fill the positions as fast as he re-
ceives their acceptapces ana per
mission to make the matter puolic.
The appointments made TO date
are Walter Q. Gresham, of Illinois,
Secretary of State, John G. Carlisle
of kentucky, Secretary of the Treas
nrv, Daniel S. Lamont, of New York,
Secretary of War, Wilson S. Bissell,
of New York, Postmaster General,
and Hoke Smith. of Georgia, Secre-
tarv of INSTRUMENTATION OF whom
with the exception of Mr.. Carlisle
has been known to to the country rs
Il national leader in the Democratic
party. Mr.. Gresham is Il man OF
great ability and everybody seems 10
have kind word for him. but as an
active member of the Republican
party only a little more than a year
ago. the selection of him is open 10
criticism and the query pertinent, II
there was not enough good Cabinet
timber in the Democratic party from
which a selection might have been
made. Two other members OF his
Cabinet. Lamont and Bissell have no
prouder claim to distinction, so faras
we are advised. than that the one
has been his private secretary ana
the other his law partner and the
universal inquiry doubtless was, who
is Roke Smith until it was ascer-
tained that he was an original
Cleveland man" and the editor OF a
naper in the state OF Georgia. But, so
great has been the confidence OF the
neople of the country in the wisdom
of Mr.. Cleveland, that it will be hard
TO convince them that he has made 81
mistake in this matter, and we IN
cline to the belief that despite their
obscurity, that Mr.. Cleveland has
discovered In them ability, which we
know not of, to conduct successfully
their departments and in tho best in
terests of the country Every act OF
his eyentful life has been character
lied By too much wisdom for us to be-
lieye that he could make the mistake
OF surrounding himself with advisers
who for want of ability will bring
discredit upon his administration
and thereby mar to some extent the
brilliant record which he has maze
for craftsmanship.

Inaugural Ceremonies.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The work
of committees having charge of tho
ceremonies incident to the inaugura-
ton of President.elect Cleveland is
progressing satisfactorily. Gen: Nc
Mahon and Col Oorbin, who have
supervision of the arrangements OF
the parade, are daily receiving ap-
plications from military organiza-
lions all over the United States for
positions in the line
More than 100 civic organizations;
including Tammany, have thus far
reported probable strength ofover
1900 men to form in line on March q.
The Governors OF the following
States have notified the committee
that they will be milne, accompanied
by mombers of their respective statfs,
and, in many instances, by lndepen.
dent military companies:
Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey. Georgia, Connecticut, Massa-
chusetts, Maryland, North Carolina.
South Carolina. Virginia, ONO,
Louisiana, and Wisconsin.
1t is almost certain that q majority
of the Governors of the remaining
States will be present, but as yet they
have not notified the committee.
Pennsylvania, as usual, will send
the largest representation Of any
State. Its full National Guard OF g.
600 men will be in line.
New York will send tScrack organ
izations, the nth and Goth regiments,
and probably Company a of the
18th regiment, Brooklyn.
The following independent organ
izations have notified the committee
to reserve them positions in the line:
Georgia Hussars, Monumental City
Guards and Baltimore Rifles, Pal.
metto Guards, of Charleston. S. c.;
Cleveland Troop and Alliance Guards,
Ohio, and the Fort Worth Fencibles,
Texas.
There is every probability that
the Inauguration Of March 4, 1928,
will surpass all its predecessors.

another Confederate Monument.

Through the eXertions of the ladies
ofthe Confederate Memorial Associa
ton of Charlottesville, Va, the way
has been made clear for fixing IL date
for The unwilling of the Confederate
monument in that city. The unveil
ing is to take place Oh the second OF
June next, and the occasion promises
TO be one of great interest. The de-
sign of Casper Buberl of New York,
forthe figure to surmount the pedestal
has been accepted. The figure is
said to be handsome, the attitude
heroic and quite the ideal soldier.
The pedestal is fourteen feet high and
the figure six, so from base to the top
of the monument will be twenty feet
high. The pedestal will be of Vir-
ginia granite and the figure OF first
class bronze. On the sides of the
pedestal are inserted bronze panels
bearing in raised letters the names
and regiments OF one thousand and
eighty-two Confederate soldiers bur
iel in Charlottesville. The ladies
are looking about for an orator for
the occasion, and the names of several
distinguished gentlemen are under
consideration.

Tie Oyster Question.

RICHMOND. Va, February 10
Mr.. Ettinger, the owner of Fox Island
and one of the largest oyster planters
in the State, has been here for several
days, and has appeared before the
Board of the Chesapeake and its
Tributaries with regard to the oys
ter Law. He thinks the act of the
last Legislature long step in the
right direction, but that the law
needs amendment. He will send a
memorial TO the Richmond Cham
Der of Commerce and other bodies in
Tidewater Virginia, asking their
support in movement to secure the
changes deemed eXpedient. Inthis
connection it may be stated that the
has recently received sew
eral communications urging him to
call an extra session Of the Legisla-
lature at once TO amend the oyster
law, but he will not do so.
