Good City Government.

To ensure good city government, which
should be on purely business basis, it is es-
sential that party politics should be ignored
in the election of city officers.
AS the b,de1-Appeal well says, "of all govern
ments that of the city is the one that comes
nearest to the people and should be carried on
with the single end of providing every one
with security in his person and property.
When city legislators go beyond the mere
management of local affairs they increase in
finitely the chances and temptations of their
positions, and set an example sure to be of
bad influence upon the employees of the COM
munity in its various departments. Party
politics. too, should have no place in city gov
ernments or III the choice of members of that
government. The council or board of alder
men, or police department. or fire depart
ment, or health department, or mayor, owing
position TO political party feel as an oblga-
ton to aid that party, and such an obligation
is not always consistent with the best possible
performance of legitimate duty. The evil is
of course greatest in large cities, where the
spoils are enormous and the chances for the
detection Of inferior work or corrupt practices
are comparatively small but it exists to some
extent in every city
In brief, what every city needs is a business
management of all its departments. Having
that and that strictly, nine-tenths of the
complaints now justly made would have no
foundation whatever"

Fusion of Parties.

From an article of the Lynchburg
AdUdnce on the contemplated fusion
of the Prohibitionists, Populists, and
Republicans to defeat, if possible, the
Democratic party, we quote as follows:
1.-The Prohibition party has only one
vital principle, one excuse for existence
and that is the prohibition plank of
their platform. 1t is certain neither
Republicans nor Populists are more
friendly to legal prohibition than are
the Democrats. What, then, are the
Prohibitionists to gain by fusing with
the other two parties? The case is no
better for the other partners in this I'M
natural combination. The Populists
in this State want a low tariff or free
trade. The Republicans want high
protective tariff. The Populists want
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
ver The Republicans adhere to the
gold standard as the policy of their
party. On scarcely one point do these
two parties agree in their political doc
trines, and yet they are willing to stand
| together in fighting what they regard
| the common enemy-the Democratic
party. The situation is full of encour
| agement to the Democratic party. An
alliance is always weaker and, there
fore, more easily overcome than a sim
gle homogeneous party. The army of
( the allies may make a great noise in
advance, but when the decisive engage
ment comes on victory will perch upon
| the banner of the unterrifed Democra-
cy."

Sunday afternoon, during which at s. p. M,
lightning struck the belfrey of the colored
Methodist church, and two colored men
Green London and Bert Reeves-who were
standing in the vestibule, were instantly kill
ed, and Charles Leech, Marcellus Johnson.

bule, were shocked and Charles Leech was
burned ON his left side from his shoulder to
his foot, and is still suffering. The lining of
his vest was burned, his pants scorched, and
hole made in his shoe. Services in the

auditorium, and those who did so escaped in

Our Grain Crops.
y Our Agricultural Editor.

BY Our Agricultural Editor.
The June crop report, giving the con-
solidated returns from correspondents
all over the United States, makes the
acreage in winter wheat 80 per cent of
last year; and of both winter and spring
wheat 95.3 per cent. of 1898, showing
total area in round numbers of 80 mil
lion acres. The present average con-
dition is put at 50 per cent, denoting
shortage of 10 per cent. Chinch bugs,
army worms, fly, rust and cold weather
all have combined to the injury of the
crop. The outlook, therefore, would
indicate somewhat better prices for the
incoming crop, subject to the condition
of foreign crops.
The acreage of the oat crop is about
the same as last year; condition 81 for
the whole country. In Virginia the
general condition is much below this
figure.
The acreage of rye is 95 per cent. of
last year, and condition SO per cent, in
dicating about an average output of
this grain.
Barley, confined mainly to the north
ern and western states, shows an acre
age nearly equal to that of last year,
and condition consi derably below the
normal. This crop is grown largely in
the northwest and Pa cific states. The
data for corn is not given till next
month.-IndeG- A p peal.

The Democracy of Greenbrler, W. Va.

At county convention of the Dem
ocratic party of Greenbrier CO., w. Va,
held at Lewisburg on the Goth of June.
the following preamble and resolution,
offered by c. T. Smith of Ronceverte
were unanimously adopted -
WHEREAS, For thirty-two years pre-
vious to March 4th, '93, the Republican
party was in control of the United
States Government, and is the sole au
thor and promoter of the inequalities
and injustices of obnoxious and Op-
pressive class legislation by Congress;
and,
WHEREAS, The panic of 1S73-the
one Of 1984-and the present ruinous
one, along with the consequent hard
times-and all our financial troubles,
business disturbances, and depressions
in prices of farm products, that have
crippled and cursed the country since
the war. in so far as the same were
caused by Federal egistation-are
chargeable alone to the Republican
party, which is conspicuously and no.
toriously blamable and responsible for
the crushing wrongs forced upon the
country by greedy and blighting con-
tlnuation of the money power with the
Republican party usurpers of the rights
and liberties of the States and the PEG
pie; therefore, be it
ResoIced, That in order to escape
such further outrages and calamities
and to repair the resultant injuries as
far as possible i'll the near future, it is
the patriotic duty of all true and loyal
Democrats to stand together with de-
termined and unbrOken ranks in their
Jealous and unanimous support of our
nominees for Congress and our State
Legislature, the all-iA portant and par
amount objects being to secure to Presi-
dent Cleveland's administration the
next House of Representatives and
continued Democratic control of the
United States, so that thereby our par
ty will be fully empowered to carry out
as far as practicable all pledges made
to the people in its last national plat
form, and to do so during said admins
tration if possible, and thereby vouch-
safe long lease of power to Democra-

Two GOOD THINGs.-So many people,
even Democrats, are now criticising the
Democratic Congress and the Demo
cratic administration that it is in order
for us to remind them of the benefits
which have accrued to the country.
In the first place, the infamous Fed
eral election laws have been repealed.
Who can estimate the value of that
act?
In the second place, Commissioner
Lochren has reduced the expenditures
of the pension bureau $50, 900, 600 below
the appropriations for the current
year, which, by the way, were $15, 000,-
900 below the estimate of Commissioner
Raum. Here there is saving to the
government of $40, 600, 900 in cool cash.
These two good deeds, like charity,
might cover a multitude of sins

Seventh Congressional District.

The Republican Convention to nomi-
nate a candidate for Congress for the
18th district will meet in Luray, Page
county, on Thursday, the 10th of
August. The candidate in that district
will lead a forlorn hope" and will
scarcely expect to be elected. He may
look for an appointment in the event
the Republicans elect the President in
1896. This will be the hope that will
inspire the nominee. Hon. s. S. Turner,
the present incumbent, will most prob
ably be the Democratic nominee, and
he will ''turn down. the Republican
nominee, and let him wait for his ex-
pected appointment for sacrificing him
self in the canvass for Congress.
