"DOn't Put It in tho Paper

An exchange hits the nail on the
head when it says that newspapers are
often asked to suppress news concerning
criminal escapades, because such news
will unpleasantly affect worthy relatives
and friends Of those who are apprehend-
ed in wrong doing. Very frequently the
news is suppressed out of these consider
atlons when it ought not to .be. The
time for the dissolute, the profiigate and
the criminal to think of their families
and friends is when they are entering
upon wrong doing. The newspaper has
a contract to print the news and it VIC
lates that contract and cheats its readers
of their just portion when it fails through
negligence or purposely either, to print
news of q legitimate character.-Ch

A Word of Explanation.

Two correspondents in the last issue of
the Reoieao take exception to articles
published in the VIRGINIAN of March
10TH The first article referred to Con-
ductor r. l.. Timberlake, whom we were
informed by reputable railroad man,
had gone to Roanoke to take the Kelley
cure 1t now transpires that Mr.. Tim
berlake is under treatment in that city
for relief from the injurious effects of
cigarette smoking. We cheerfully make
this correction, as it was not the purpose
of the VIRGINIAN, or its informant to do
him any injustice. However "Observ>
er's" suggestion that 1--WE should ascer>
tain the truth and stick to it, is as gra-
tuitous as it is amusing. Neither he nor
anyone else need be at all in doubt as to
the matter in question.
The second had reference to Capt. T.
A. Goodman, of the R. g. A. division of
the C. & O., who had an alteration with
a passenger. We obtained our informa>
ton from an witness, whose reputa-
tion for truth will not be questioned.
Our informant did not mention the Of
fensive remark that is attributed to the
passenger, but on the contrary thought
he was very respectful to the conductor.
The VIRGINIAN will be greatly pleased
if fair and impartial investigation
shall exhonerate Capt Goodman. JUS
tice will then be "meted out" and the
blame placed where it properly belongs.
However, there is no law that per-
mits one man to take the property of
another by force. We await the investi-
galion. In all such matters it should
be remembered that we are governed by
but one desire, namely, to publish the
news from the most reliable authority
within our reach.

fhe POLK Miller Minstrel Comb
natiOn-Everybod Pleased.

According to announcement by large
posters, the "Polk Miller" Combination,
assisted by the Clifton Ministries, APP
peared before large and appreciative
audience at the new Opera House in this
city on Tuesday night last. 1t would
not be possible in the space at our dis
posal, to do justice to all the performers
in this remarkable Minstrel coinbina-
ton. Suffice it TO say, that the whole
performance was replete with amusing
incidents from the opening chorus to the
closing scene, where all the participants
appeared in 81 play, depicting negro
gathering "befo' de wah," with their
banjos, dancing and singing.
Mr.. Polk Miller did not disappoint the
expectation of his auditors in his quaint
negro dialect and arguments, aided by
his banjo, on which he performs with
wonderful skill but his every appear
ance was Justify cheered.
Mr.. G. IL. Jordan made one of the fun
niest negroes-to be a white man-we
ever saw before the footlights. No one
who has met Mr.. Jordan off the stage,
would ever recognize him when he
changes the color Of his skin by lamp
black.
Prof. Smiths horizontal bar perfor>
nance was excellent. We have never
seen more intricate and daring fetes per-
formed in our most celebrated circuses
Mr.. Cloves, Prof. Smith and Mr. Taylor
were loudly encored for the beautiful
songs rendered by them, while the two
former, assisted by Mr.. Withers Miller
and Shepherd Webb, forming the male
quartette, entertained the audience de-
Gghtfully.
As for our own Page, Lipop and Heck,
in their songs, dances and guitar music,
it is only necessary to say that they ads
ded lustre to their already high reputa-
ton in their respective parts of the en-
tertainment.
We have not been informed as to the
receipts from the entertainment, but we
trust that sufficient amount was reali-
zed to add something to the fund for the
proper representation of Virginia at the
Worlds Fair. Come again, gentlemen.

Watching the Progress of Clifton
Forge Through the Virginian.

- -.
We take the liberty of publishing the
following letter from a gentleman inter-
ested in the growth and development of
Clifton Forge, and who, as will be oh.
served, is a close reader of the VIRGINIAN.
This is but another instance of the value
OF a newspaper, in conveying important
information as to the progress and ad-
vantages offered by the city and county
in which it is published. Men seeking
Investments are always on the alert, and
depend largely upon the newspapers in
deciding where to invest their money to
the best advantage. We can assure our
esteemed friend, that the predictions
made as to the contemplated improve
ments by the c. & o. in this city were
statedin good faith, and we confidently
belieye that this far-sighted company
fully appreciates the unequaled facilities
offered by Clifton Forge for such enter
prises as the demands of their increasing
business require. In our humble opinion
there is no where to be found more de-
slrable point for the erection of a Rolling
Mill and Car Works, and the astute presi-
dent of the G. & 0. is always ready to
further the interests of the corporation
which he manages SO admirably. The
writer says:
