The Lvnchburg News is Disguised with
tho premature agitation OF subject
which cannot he settled for three years,
and il has the following 10 'ay about
the gossip as TO Governor oFerraH
successor. -,
."rhe curse OF Virginia has been poll
tics. Horace Greeley once made this re-
mark about the State, and IL IS quite
as true to-day as when the fact was
first impressed on the mind OF the Irl-
bune's great editor. The present execn-
tive has not yet served the first year
Of his term. The time for the selection
OF his successor Is three years off, but
already the Richmond correspondents
and some OF the newspapers are begin
ming TO discuss the availability and pros
nominating a governor three years ahead
Is premature
1t is a matter Of little present concern

expired. That there will be great many
men who will be willing 10 sacrihce
themselves for the good Of the Common
wealth goes without saying. But we
agree with the News and Horace Greeley
that the continuous politicai agitation
which we have in virginia IS curse.
What our people should do is to ignore
politics altogether for a season ana
buckle down to work. The energy ex-
pended in nominating men for Office
and discussing the situation would
realize a fortune II properly directed in
business or in honest toll. Let us give
politics long rest and farewell, for
the present at notwithstanding Index
Appeal.
This argument is all very we'll for the
editor, but where does the newspaper
correspondent come in under such a
ruling?

4 TELLING KNOCK-DOWN.

The Washington Post quotes Judge
Elijah Robinson, a prominent lawyer OF
Kansas City. Mo, as saying the follow
ing in Washington city day or so back:
There will be some rather queer
statesmen in the next House of Repre-
sentatives.
in Missouri. as in other parts Of the
Union, in many districts looked on as
surely Democratic the Republican nom
nation for Congress almost went beg

mighty scarce In Champ Clarks dis
trict, for instance. there seemed 10 be
absolutely no reason TO doubt Mr.. Clark S
reelection, and the Republicans nomi-
mated music teacher against him
CHAMP ignored his adversary and went
OFF speechmaking in other parts Of the
State Nobody dreamed the music man
would WIN, ana guess it's The first
case on record where a gent OF that pro-
feSsion was sent TO Congress"
We don't mean at all to depreciate this
gentleman's profession. professor of
music may be as good a man as the
follower of any other ayocation, and he
may be just as well or better qualified
to be a representative in Congress as
lawyer or banker But it is very evil
dent from Judge Robinson's remarks that
this particular professor of music was
rather small potato, that the people
Of the community hardly expected ever
10 see seated in Congress.
There Is a lesson OF very deep moment
in this case; Champ Clark, Esq. is one Of
the brightest men In the present Con-
gress. This is the first term he has
served in Congress, but he attracted es-
pecial attention 10 himself both in the
extra and in the regular session, by his
qulckness and vigor. He allowed HIM
self TO be dragged off by his crazy col
league Bland into pursuit OF the free
silver mirage. and the result is before
us. The Democrats did not vote for the
musical Republican, they simply refused
didate. although one of the brightest
men In the present House.

that government can, by its ipse dixit,

rrbara is some difference OF opln-
ion among those who know as 10 lue
nroper manner OF lifting the SKIRT from
the street in walking. IL 10 easy 10 90 go
this In the shopping district where SO
many ladies cOngregate. Since the Shlrt

risk soiling her new gown by allowing
II 10 drag over a curb or through mUd
puddle. Even if a skirt does not touch
the floor when one stands straight ana
still, it often dips slightly In walking
and. stiffened as it is with the stlftest
of hair-cloth or linen, the stones of the
pavement will scrape it off like so much
sand paper.
In lifting the skirt there are three
things TO be considered: Grace, modesty
and care for the skirt. | have seen ladies'
step over a mud puddle in such a manner
as to shame a chorus girl. and II I'M
tidlness be added to the sin OF grace

almost tragic. \ buttOnless button hole
glares from beneath a lifted skirt with
an intensity that no number OF diamonds
worn above can dim.
There are two approved methods OF
raising the skirt. one is that shown III
the above picture, whore the dress is
grasped halfway down the back ana
brought forward. This is probably the
most graceful, but one very often mas
the dress sOied and worn on the side
where the dress Is held. underneath the
folds formed by the back of the skirt.
Another objection to this method is that
it is apt 70 crush the stiifennS in the
back of the skirt.
The best way to effectuallv clear the
skirt from the gr0uHd-especially In the
present style of dress-is 10 grasp the
dress at the back, near the top OF the
skirt. holding Il with the palm Of the
hand turned outward. This raises the
whole skirt and also carries II farther
back. thus avoiding any contact with
wet or muddy rubbers. The picture above

is white, brocaded with tiny gold figures,
and lined with white and gold plaid. The
hat is black with the gold ball trimming
which is so popular.

OF southern Democrats lending their aid
to legislation Objectionable to northern
sentiment.
The Index concludes its article in these
words:
In the course Of a few years many 81
the south I'm Democrats who have been
prominent in both the Senate and House
win retire from politics. Some Of them
have already been left at nome by the
recent Republican triumph. The Demo
Gratis who will succeed them viii per

finance and taxation and other economic
problems. Let us hope that they VIII be
democrats of brains and courage, true

men they be, we shall hear no more or

the beauty of the women Of Baltimore.

her To the casual observer her remarks
may appear harsh and unjust, but nave

] spent several evenings the week be-
fore last at the Baltimore Horse snow.

a crude exhibition as regards surround
ings. The baseball field was covered

forty or nifty boxes and limited prom
enade on one side of the ring. The wealth

society was at the head Of the affair ana
the ladies turned out en- masse to show
their appreciation as well as their pretty
faces. Such a collection Of lovely, grace
ful stylish women ! have rarely seen
before. To see a homely or unstylish one
was indeed an exception The contrast
between them and our society women
was painful TO a New York man. no
longer wonder that Mr. Fred. Gerhard

THOSE MICHIGAN OFFICIALS
Not Only Guilty Of Election Frauds, Blu.
OF Looting the Public Treasury by I'm
authorized Charges.

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 25.-The
journal last evening says that an in
vestigation which it had been pursu-
ing at Lansing for some days shows
that several state officers have been
guilty of extensive peculations from
the state treasury. The journal al
leges that Secretary of State Jochim,
State Treasurer Hambitzer and Land
Commissioner Berry have made charges
for mileage, ,shotel bills and other ex-
penses which the law does not give
them the right to collect from the
state.
The constitution says that these Off
GERS shall receive no fees or perquisites
whatever for the performance of any
duties connected with their offices
The ex-otlico duties as members cf
boards are duties connected with their
office" The state capital is the Off
cial home of the state officers. II
they do not choose to live in the capi-
tai city, they cannot charge the state
for travelling expenses and hotel bills,
while in the performance of their du'
ties at the seat of government.
A state officer may continue his resi-
dence at remote points, or anywhere
else, but if he chooses to make excur-
sions back and forth between these
places and Lansing, he has no warrant
in law to charge the expenses up to
tha state of Michigan.
BY table copied from the books in
the auditors office, the journal shows
that every time one of these officials
served on any one of the boards of
which he is an eX-officio member he
charged for mileage from his residence
to Lansing, hotel bills and extra ex-
penses, and although meetings of diff.
ferent boards were held on the same
day in the same building, mileage and
hotel expenses were charged up in each
| instance.
After marked progress had been made
in its Investigations the journal was
| denied further access to the books. and
the full extent of the populations could
not be ascertained. 1t proba bic that
the matter will be brought to the at
tention Of the grand jury.
