Resist Beginnings.-The man who
indulges in a shave or shampoo on
Sunday has no right to deprive his
neighbor of the privilege of purchas-
ing loaf of bread or a cut OF meat
on that day. So the man whose taste
runs to ice.cream, confections and soft
drinks should not inveigh against
those who prefer beer, wine or whis-
kew. And where would this liberaliz-
ing process end? 1t would inevitably
lead to the destruction of the Sabbath
as a civil institution, with all the de-
moralizing and debasing consequent
ces. Better have the laws as they are
"a thousand times better-than III.
vite the destruction of a great physi-
cal necessity and an indispensable
moral and and religious stimulus.
While art is indeed 10 its own
nature wholly independent Of morality
and while the loftiest moral pnrport
can add no lot or title to the merits OF
q work of art, as such, there Is never
theless no error deeper or more deadly
and I use the words in no rhetorical
sense, but in their plain and sober
meaning-than to deny that the moral
complexion, the ethos of the artist:
does in truth tinge every work of his
hand, and fashion, in silence, but
with the certainty of Fate, the course
and current of his whole career.

Some iseacre informed one of the can
did .tes for congress that our editorial
upon machine politics was an evidence ct
hostility to him. We challenge any in
telligent person to fud a single express
son of hostility to, or any reelection up
oa, any gentleman seeking the nomluation
for Congress. What we said IN that
editorial we believed to he true, and
have been more than glad to learn that 1t
has been fully endorsed by so many peo-
pie of Shenandoah The dag Of machine
politics, we firmly believe, is drawing to a
close. The machine may run party for
a short time, but the people will crush
the machine, even if it be necessary to
defeat the party to do it. 1t would not
be difficult to name a number OF instances,
where parties having large msjorities and
controlled by corrupt bosses have been
overwhelmingly defeated. We will not
insult the intelligence of our readers by
referring to them. The people believe
that it is their prerogative to control this
government, and nothing affords them
more pleasure than to assert this pre-
rogative when ring tries to deprive them
of It, Political bosses Of intelligence and
great shrewdness, may succeed for
while. but the time Will surely come
when the people will call a bait, and those
who underestimate the honest, sound,
business sense of the masses will have
reason to change their opinions.

CONTEST IN THE SEVENTH DISTRICT
Richmond State.

Richmond State.
The contest in the Seventh distrct for
the democratic nomination for Congress
to fill the vacancy occassiOned BY the re-
signation of Congressman O'Ferrall IS
lust now attracting considerable at
tention. There are six candidates, as
follows: Basil B. Gordon. of Kappa
hammock; Mcsi al Woods and Jefferson
NJ. Levy, of Albemarle; NJ. L Walton. OF
Shenandoah S. S. Turner, of Warren;
and A. Moore, Jr., OF Clarke. As the con-
vention meets in two weeks the contest
will necessarily b, short, and it IS presum-
ed an interesting, if not an exciting one.
A gentleman who is somewh at familiar
with the politics of the district, predicts
that Gordon will go into the convention
with Rappahannock solid and with q
part of the Rockingham and Page dele
gates; Woods with Charlottesville AMI
Green, an 1 with all of the delegates OF
Albemarle except about half dozen
that Mr.. Levy may secure; Walton with
Shenandoah ard a portion Of Rocking
ham aud Page; Moore with Clarke anC
probably Frederick and Winchester, anC
portion Of r Ickingham, and Turner
with Warren and possibly some of thu
delegates of Page aud Frederick, apt
nearly all Of Madison and part o
Rockingham. He predicts that then
will be many ballots taken before
nomination is made.

Heavy Frauds Alleged.
A BUFFALO PENS ION CLAIM AGENT AC
cusFp oF SECURING $1,000. 600.

CT SID OF SECOKiNN GlsOUO,NVN
BUFFALO, n. Y, Jan. w. Bowen
Moore, a pension attorney of this city,
was arrested yesterday on the charge oil
defrauding the United States government
through the pension department. Dis
patches from Washington about month
ago stated that Moores frauds aggregated
about $3.50, 600 Special examiners we're
here for some time investigating the case,
ana the order of arrest was based on
their report. 1t is said that the lnyesti-
cations have brought out the most stu
pendous frauds ever perpetrAted on the
pension department. Moore denies being
guilty of any Irregularities.
Moore's son and three clerks employed
in bis office were also arrested. The
prisoners were taken before United States
Commissioner Fairchild, where both the
Noores pleaded not guilty, and asked
that examination be waived temporarily.
This was agreed to and bail was fixed IN
each case at 81 600 for their appearance
Monday afternoon.
Then Louis F. Houpt AMI Mary llanra'
han, clerks, were charged with having
forged names and evidence in the ension
claim of Anna Smith on Wednesday OF
this week. Both waived examination
and their cases were set for Tuesday
afternoon. bail being fixed at 81 coo each
Houpt has been connected with Moore
only since last Monday.
Colonel Moore did very large OusI'
ness as pension claims agent, and since
1859 has secured over 5000 claims OF
which, 1t is said, 1850 at least are fraudu-
lent According to Special Examiner
Ayers, the government estimates the
amount he has fraudulently obtai ned FOL
pensioners at about 81 600, 900. Already
the examiners have found $4,000 which
was secured by fraud. 1t is also said that
others are implicated, among them sew
ersl well known local attorneys, and that
mere arrests will soon be made.
Louis f. Houp, who was arrested with
Moore, succeeded to the business on
January l. He refused at first to state
what his relations with the claims agency
were. but later said that lie had assum ed
Moore's business. Assistant Attorney
Mackey admits that the most important
results of the Investigation are being held
hask until the hearing. Moore was
nension examiner before becoming
claims agent, in 1859. During the com
missionership of General Raum he wat
charged with crookedness, but the cases
were. 1t is said, kept out OF court by
powerlul Influences.

The Wilson Tariff Bill.

The newspapers have been doing the
country good service by discussing the
Wilson tariff bill. 1t must be considered
a Democratic measure, because, ii passed
at all, it must be by a Democratic Cot
gress. The Democratic party, at one
time, ADVOCATED tariff for revenue, with
incidental protection. Later its doc
trine has been tariff for revenue, hold
ing that it was unconstitutional to tax
one class of citizens for the sole benefit of
another class, and that the government
had 70 constitutional right to take the
property of the citizen for any purpose,
except for the use of the general govern
ment. We merely state these principles
as well known doctrines of the Demo
cratic party which it is difficult to recon-
cile with the provisions of the Wilson
bill which may he properly termed a
tariff for protection, with incidental
revenue.
There is no necessity for an income tax,
if Congress will give us tariff for reVe-
nue.. The object of the bill seems TO be
to cut down the present tariff so far as 1t
can be done without material injury to
the manufacturer, and If the manutAc-
turers should not have all the protection
they desire, to compensate them by
putting coal, iron, wool, hides and other
raw material upon the free list. Ii tie
Democratic party wOulD give the people q
tariff for revenue, pure and simple the
government would get the revenue and
manufacturers of all kinds as well
as producers of raw material woold
prosper. 1t is earnestly hoped that the
present bill will be 50 amended as to
answer the purpose for which tariff taxes

An Honest Confession, or Rattle

The Lehigh valley manufacturers
know very we'll that free raw material
is their salvation, and they are candid
enough to say so.
1t is not necessary to talk about cheap
Ibor in the South, because it is simply
impossible to legislate for one portion
of he country against the1 other.-Phila-
delphia Times.
Here are two confessions first, that the
Lehigh Valley iron manufacturers, be-
cause of Southern competition, must haYe
free raw materials, and next, the heaIt
less Indifference With which the South''
struggling industries are TO be sacrificed
to save Pennsylvania. Legislation IL
needed to save Pennsylvania's furnaces,
and they must have it, but when 1t comes
to the south the question Of iustness il
promptly dismissed, because at is imI CO
sible to legislate for one portion Of tae
country against the other" The Tines
