FRIDAY EVENING. OCT. 10, 1898.

ACCORDING TO press dispatches SEM
out from Washington, Mr.. 0Ferrall
saws the reason he will not resign his
seat in Congress is that he has promised
federal offices to some people, and that
if he were to resign, he would lose his
Congressional influence to have those
promises fulfilled. So tbepeople OF the
whole State are to be put to the eX-
pense of special Congressional cleo
ton. in order that Mr.. O'Ferrail may
continue to exert his Congressional IN
Huence in having his personal promises
10 4 few fulfilled-and, at the same
time to draw sil62 a month as Con
oressman. This reason man be suifl-
Gent TO influence the action of Mr..
O'Ferrall. but it certainly will not in
crease the vote of his party next month.
But as he is the party's nominee, ana
was nominated fairly, and by large
majority of the delegates the party sent
TO the nominating convention, all the
democrats in the State ought to vote
for him, for, according to the spirit OF
democracy. the action ofthe democratic
party. expressed in accordance with the
party's rules, should be binding upon
all the members of that party.

VIRGINIA NEWS.

The populist convention to nominate
A Senator at Roanoke yesterday failed
10 materialize.
The :anlberI's Point Machine Works,
near Norfo"; ,:ere totally destroyed by
fire at OIL this morning.
The engagement is announced OF
Miss Luna Kirk, OF Brook yn, and Mr..
Harry Washington Fairfax, a member
of the Fairfax family of Virginia.
Gen. Fitz. Lee, who spoke at Man
chester Wednesday night and yester-
DAY in New Keut county, says that the
prospects for democratic success are
very encouraging. The General says
he has been able to discover but few
populists in the different parts of the
State he has visited.
The oldest person in Virginia died q
day or two ago at The Eastern Lunatic
Asylum at Williamsburg. This was n
man who entered that institution in
1886 and was at that time recorded on
the books as aged fifty-three. This
makes the man one hundred and eleven
years old at the time of his death.

Miss Lizzie Clark, the lady selected
to represent Virginia at the Birming-
ham Confederate reunion, went
through the marriage ceremony with q
physician named Taylor on Tuesday
night at Newport News. The affair
took place at social gathering, and
was intended as a joke, but the law
yers agreed that Miss Clark is now
Mrs. Taylor. 1t is said size was ell
gagged to another gentleman. The St
cret did not leak out till yesterday.
Fleming Loving, the paying teller of
the First National Bank of Roanoke.
who is charged with being a defaulter
in the sum of 81, O55.75, Yesterday united
with lis wife in deciding two houses,
several shares of stock in the Iron Belt
Building and Loan Association and his
household furniture to Charles w.
Thomas, city treasurer and lis brother
in-l law, TO reimburse him for money he
will have to pay the bank as surity
on Lovipg's bond. Loving has not yet
returned to the city, although urged
to do so, but he is accessible to his at
torney.
The business organizations of Norfolk
are again discussing the advance insur-
ance rates, and will appear before the
next Legislature and urge the repeal of
the laws now in force. 1t is said the
Virginia laws, which were enacted for
tue protection of the people, enable the
larger companies o form combination
to drive small organizations out of the
market. The insurance companies
state that that the inefficient fire de-
partment of Norfolk has led to the in
crease of rates, but the business organi-
cations believe that the fire department
has very little to do with the rates,
which have been increased in other
cities as well as Norfolk. Promine Mt
merchants think of organizing com
pany in the city. At present all the
best business is going to New York and
Baltimore.

SPECIAL EDITION OF THE GAZETTE.
The ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE sent out
to its patrons on the 10th instant a
twenty-five page edition, which far eX-
ceeded anything of its kind ever at
tempted in that city. The edition is
entirely devoted to the business inter
ests of old Alexandria, and it is q
splendid tribute to the enterprise and
push of the ''Old GAZETTE" We con-
graduate our old friend on the pro-
Sressiveness it has acknowledgement

ALL TIE democratic members ofthe
United States Senate should at once
forward their designations to the Gov
ernors of their respective States, in or
der that successors may be appointed
who hold to the democratic flndamen-
tai principle, that under democratic
government the majority should rule,
and who consider themselves as bound
by the promises contained in the plat
forms of their party.

As THE sole object for which thepres-
ent special session of Congress was call
ed has met with signal and disgraceful
failure, and as the democratic majority
in the Senate have demonstrated their
utter inability to enact any democratic
legislation opposed by a minority Of
that body, there will be neither rhyme
nor reason in continuing the session
any longer, and the sooner it shall adj
iourn the better, not only for the Con-
gressmeu, but for the country, also.

THE U. 5. SENATE has proved to the
world that this government is bogus
concern and is doing business under
false pretenses, as the republican prin-
ciple of majority rule does not prevail
in the highest legislative body of the
country. No wonder the press Of
monarchical governments is ridiculing
free institutions, as exhibited in the pro-
ceedinss of the Senate of the United
States.

IN RESPECT of the silly talk OF aboi-
ishing the L. S. Senate by amending
the Constitution to that effect, the New
York SIN, reminds those who indulge
in it that the Constitution, in providing
for It's own amendment, specially de-
clares that no State, without its con-
sent, shall be deprived of its equal rep
reservation in the Senate. If no one
State. certainly not all the forty-four
States, and as none of them will, while
they remain members of the Union,
consent to be without equal representa-
ton in the Senate, the talk referred to
is seDseless gable. But for all this, as
the Constitution also provides that the
majority of the members of the Senate
snail make the rules governing the pro-
ceedings of that body, the present dead
loci, therein, is not only absurd, but dis
Graceful

Engineer Grunsky Taking Observa-
tions Along the American.
G. E. Grunsky has been appointed
consulting engineer Of the Folsom Water
Power Company in connection with the
building of their part of the canal, their
contemplated power house and other en-
terprises. Referring to this matter, the
Folsom Telegraph says:
"One of the objects of Mr.. Grunsky's
recent visit here was to make observa-
tions along the banks of the American
River for the purpose of ascertaining the
best points at which to place water gauges
to determine the increased volume of
water added to the river during heavy
rains and the melting of the vast bodies
of snow in the spring throughout the
mountains which make up the water
shed of the American River. Careful
records are to be kept of the different
gauges, and an approximation Of the
flood waters arrived at.
ut is the intention of the Board of
Debris Commissioners to endeavor to de-
wise some method by which this surplus
water may be carried of, and the dangers
Of the yearly breaks in the levees and the
attendant floods TO the property adjoin-
ing the rivers prevented. An effort will
also be made to ascertain the amount Of
debris deposited during the year."

STATE PRISON DIRECTORS.
Communication of Simon Raten's Sen
tence Recommended.
The Folsom Water Power Company's
Claims Are to be Referred to
Arbitrators.

The State Prison Directors held meet
ing at Folsom on Saturday, full board
being present. The board signed an
agreement for the arbitration OF certain
claims which the Folsom Water Power
Company has brought against the State.
By its terms the company valves all
claims except those stated in the agree
ment for arbitration. The State disputes
these, and both agree that should the ar
bitrators decide that they are valid claims
against the State the board will allow
them and recommend to the Legislature
their payment.
The board recommends that the SEN
tence of Simon Raten, who, some twelve
or thirteen years ago, killed James Lam
sing in this city, be commuted to sixteen
years. imprisonment. This was done on
the recommendation of Judge Catlin of
this county, who wrote a strong letter to
the board stating that, in his belief, Rattan
was, at the most, guilty of manslaughter.
The commutatiOn also was recommended
by eX-Superior Judge benson, who pre-
sided at the trial, and whose recommends
ton was substantially to the same effect.
Raten, it will be remembered, was
beaten by man in saloon In this
Clty, duu Wu6u u0 WOnb W SOt a
warrant for his assailanrs arrest, he
was in such an inebriated condition
that he was put off till he could become
sober, and was told to CONC the next
day. This did not suit him, so he armed
himself and proceeded to look for his
assailant, and meeting him in crowd on
X street, near Fourth took shot at him,
but missed him and wounded another
man.
Raten then ran away. pursued by the
crowd, and was running down the alley
back of the International Hotel, when
Lansing, who was at that time proprietor
Of the hotel, rushed out through the rear
gate into the alley and attempted to stop
him. Raten shot him, and he died few
hours afterward.
1t was thought at first that he would be
lynched, as Lansing was very popular
man, but cooler counsels prevailed and
be was tried, convicted and sentenced for
lie. After he had been confined for
some time he showed signs Of insanity.
and was removed to the insane asylum,
but afterward returned to the prison.
1t was expected that some action would
be taken on parole applications, but none
were presented.

THE River Improvement Convention
held it's fourth annual session in this city
late last week, and proved itself to be
worthy of commentator and aid, be-
cause it confined itself strictly to the
question Of the bettering of the navi-
gability of the chief rivers of California
1t allowed no questions of cause of de-
generation, or of remedies corrective or
preventive, to enter into its deliberations
and this was right policy. 1t wisely pro-
vided for the sending of agents to Wash
ington, as the Mississippi River people do
at each session, to aid California's Sen
ators and congressman in inducing the
Federal Government to do its full duty
to California navigable streams. This
scheme cannot be carried out, however,
without substantial financial assistance,
and this the river and bay counties ought
to give. and at once.

THE Supervisors of this county have
for more than month had before them
the request of the Midwinter Fair man
agement to name a Sacramento day for
the fair. Two regular meetings of the
board have been held within that time
but no day has been fixed upon. Over a
month ago the RECORD UNION called at
tention to the propriety of day being
selected as Sacramento Day, and urged
that the choice be made early, while the
list of 156 days was as yet well open.
Now more than two-thirds of the dates
have been taken. The failure of the
Board of Supervisors to name day is in
explicable. OF course, almost any day
between the beginning and the end of the
fair will do, but we should name our date
while there is still some margin of
choice left to us.

THE Olympia has put herself into the
22:00 class, having on her trial trip made
22:15 knots. This is admirable perform
ance for ship built to make but twenty
knots. 1t gives her a speed of almost
twenty-six miles an hour, and puts her
within fraction of the speed made by
the Columbia, a much more powerful

clare that the Olympia is the finest ship
