LATTER DAY BUNDLES.

.
Much More satisfactory Than the Bundles
of Years Ago.
81 don't know of any one little thing
in which there has been a greater
change in recent years. said a New
York citizen to a Sun man the other
day, ethan the manner in which the
grocer, the baker and the butcher do
up the bundles that we are to carry
sit isn't so very many years ago that
the grocer would hand us loaf of
bread done up in half of small sheet
of coarse brown paper, the paper. being
so small that it left the ends and fre-
quently strip of the side of the loaf
exposed.
Few grocers would think of handing
loaf of bread to customer in that
shape now. The great majority would
use paper of much better quality
than was used in the old days; and
they would use sheet of size sufficient
to cover the loaf completely and neat
ly, making a package that anybody
would be quite willing to carry through
the streets. If you wanted to carry
home a pound or two of chops the
butcher might first put them in a
brown paper as he used to do, but
most butchers would nowadays put
that bundle in a neat paper bag.
sat the bakers rolls or cakes are
commonly put in a paper bag, and a
fve-cent loaf of bread is done up nicely
in paper of good quality and without
any slimpiness whatever. 1t would
be the same with anything that we
might buy in any of these stores to
take home with us; it would be done
III
Zone reason for this improvement is,
nogdoubt, that paper is cheaper; an
other reason is the modern necessity
for doing things well in the strife for
custom. In it's present development
the slightly bundle marks our growing
refinement in the common affairs of
everyday lifeo

Judre lord Talks sllver.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 16.-Judge Will
lam p. Lord, governof-elect of Oregon,
is guest at the Palace hotel with his
wife. Judge Lord and his wife expect to
remain in the city few days, and will
then leave for the East on a pleasure
trip, going by way of Denver and st.
Louis to Delaware, where Judge Lord
will spend some time with his parents.
"There is a growing sentiment in
favor of the free coinage of silver" said
Judge Lord, in speakingo of the political
situation in Oregon at the Palace last
evening. "That is only among the
masses, however, and not among the
commercial classes. The way in which
that subject was handled in our platform
had considerable to do with the success
of our ticket. I find that the people of
Oregon attribute the industrial difficult
ties, the decline in the price of products
and the depreciation of property values
to the demonetization of silver, and they
believe there will be no return of pros
perity until silver is remonetized and
placed on an equality with gold. How
that is to be brought about is the subject
of dispute between the political parties.
They are all, practically, bi-metalists,
but the question of whether silver should
be restored through national legislation
or by an international agreement is the
question on which the argument hinges.
The popuiists are after the free and un-
limited coinage of silver. The COM
mercial classes are bimetalists, but only
in the sense that they believe silver
should be restored through an inter
national agreement. Phey will never
cofne.' in my opinion. England would
never agree to it. The republicans de-
clared themselves In favor of the restor-
alton of silver through nationallegisla-
ton. That plank in our platform was
one of the causes of the big republican
victory in Oregon.''

Counting Votes by the Census Tables

Counting Votes by the Census Tables
The subject Of the elections in the
southern States has for years claimed
more or less Of the time Of Congress ana
has afforded denagogues In that body
from the northern States abundant OPP
portunity for denounclng the election
methods of the South and appealing to
the prejudices OF the northern people as
against these incorrgible rebels as II
pleases our northern brethren to style
us thirty years after the close OF the war
between the States. 1t is not easy, there
fore for even such demagogues to bring
any charge against the southern people,
or. as we might better say. against the
Democrats Of the southern States, which
was not made against them years ago
either by the Hoars, the Chambers. and
the Beast Buffers, in Congress, or by
the Mahones at home. The northern
south-hater Is supplied with political am
munition by his southern sympathizers.
The repeal of the Federal election-laws
has now, however. been accomplished.
The southern people will hereafter be per-
mitted to conduct their elections in their
own way. Nay, not the southern people
only, but the people everywhere. North
and South. For 1t was stated in the
House OF Representatives only a few
weeks ago that II the people Of New York
city could have free elections. and her
voters escape from the tyrannical. bull
doing methods Of Johnny Davenport,
backed as he had been by the whole In
fuence Of the Federal Government. that
city would largely increase her Demo-
cratic majority. Those laws are now
dead and buried. They will never be
resurrected. BY the way. now that they
are thus disposed OF. we are gratified
TO know that the northern Democrats had
the courage to vote for their repeal In
the face OF the charges brought against
US here In Virginia in connection with our
administration OF the State election-laws.
"Alrs well that ends well."
We have heretofore quoted from a
speech made recently In the national
House OF Representatives by Mr.. Henry
Cabot Lodge. Of Massachusetts,, several
extracts showing that the northern Re-
publicans drew upon their allies In the
southern States for arguments against
the repeal OF the Federal election-laws.
We now give from Mr.. Lodges speech
the following additional extracts. Mr..

There are few names In the dramatic
world that convey as much TO the mind

Of Salvini For many generations IN
Europe IL was the synonym for greatest
attainment In the history OF the contem-
porary stage. The Salvini family from
time immemorial have occupied promi-

Mating in the great genius OF Tomasso
Salyini. undoubtedly the most famous
actor. or rather tragedian OF this century.
Alexander Salvini. his son. at the early
age OF 32, Is recognized to-day as the
representative romantic actor Of his gen.
Grafton. He has avoided, wisely, the
chance of being accused OF trading on
his fathers name. by seeking fame In
a totally different department OF the
drama, that OF romance. That he has
succeeded. his present popularity with
al classes o. ,hreatre-goers Is the best
evidence. He took up the romantic drama
when Il had been discarded by other
actors. Saiyini will hold the boards OF
the Mozart Academy for the last four

The Noyes-RockWell Case.

In Yesterdays issue, in discussing and
condemnlng the attack of the Times upon
the right OF Mr.. Epcs to hold his seat in
Congress. we blundered into the assertion
that in the Noyes- Rockwell case the
Democrat was unseated and the Republi-
can claimant seated in his stead. 1t is
true. we believe. that the committee re-
ported in favor OF the Republican, but
the House rejected the committees report.
This case is against us, Of course, but IT
is not sufficient 10 establish the Times s
contention that Democratic House is
certain to give judgment for Democrat
since we have proof in a number Of in
stances that such is not the fact. Here
are some Illustrations TO substantiate our
view that Justice may be expected OF
Democratic Houses:
Settle Republicam. North Carolina,
this Congress; retained over Williams, by
unanimous report.

In the FortyNinth Congress the decision
in the case was for Romise Republican)

Prohibition in Iowa-Virginia

The prohibitory liquor-law-a Statewide
law-has proved to be failure, and they
are searching the wide world over for
substitute for II. The trend OF their
notions on this subject at the present
plank of their State platform as party.
We quote:
eve want TO see prohibition maintained
here in Des Moines-if 1t can be done
without continuing Matchmaking and fee
stealing that are now going on In county
and township courts under the prohibit
tory law--but we are heart and soul with
the communities that are now suffering
from an unrestricted and illegal traffic
in their desire to have means placed in
their hands whereby they can restrict
and regulate"
The substance OF the above resolution
is that prohibitory law cannot be exc
cuted and made operative in communities
| where a majority OF the people are OPP
| posed to It, 1t means that the Republic
cans of Iowa will have TO resort TO some
such local-option law as We already have
| in Virginia. or see all their efforts in the
cause of temperance come TO naught.
1t means TO use very expressive old
saying that they have bit off more than
| they can chew"
We in Virginia ought TO be wise enough

OF Iowa. II would be exceedingly I'M
wise in us to refuse to recognize human
nature as it is. Surely. then, the General
