Port Inman, colored man from
Ellejoy, was bcuned over to court by
Esq. Pickens on the charge OF stealing
sack Of wheat. He failed to give
bond and is now in Jail. 1t seems
that he stole the wheat from Dan
Trotter, sold it to Mr.. Thomas and
then stole it from him, but was caught
before he got out of sight with it.

A Youthful Prodigy.

Wythe County numbers within it's
population the greatest man in the
Commonwealth, if one considers his
dead weight-Melvin Grubb, whose
wondrous girth and ponderous limbs
made him the daily wonder of his
neighbors. He was born something
more than 15 years ago, and has ever
since that event kept his neighbors
wondering at his growth. Each year
since he was 10 has seen from so to 1OC
pounds added to his weight, un il lie is
believed now to be the heaviest youth
alive; and should his ayuirdupois appre-
ciate at the same rapid rate, he will
soon break all the heavyweight records
since Adam. At 13 years of age he
weighed 40 pounds; at IA, 45O pounds,
and now, at Is, the scales creak at 535
pounds, and the end is not yet.
Grubb is not mere a mountain of
flesh, but an active and Intelligent
boy. He can follow q plough all day
without unusual fatigue, and is a
bright and intelligent pupil of the
public school near his fathers
farm, at Walters Bridge, two and a
half miles west of Wytheville.-Ri

REVOLT IN MARYLAND.
Baltimore Sun fDem.).


The Democratic party is being am
bushed by few bosses. Next Novem-
ber it will inevitably pay the penalty of
their betrayal. The special interests
that have leagued together to decoy it
from its allegiance to the people will
not save it in the coming Congressional
elections. The Populists will greedily
swallow the income tax concession. but
they will remain Populists. And the
young men, who were the strength of
the Democratic reform campaign of
1892, cannot be rallied to the defense
of party whose pledges of reform have
been scattered to the winds by the
bosses, whose supremacy means their
own ostracism from public life.
There is grave matter for reflection
in this situation for all patriotic Demo-
Gratis. The bosses are in command for
the moment, but the ground is cracking
under their feet. There is mutiny in
New York and New Jersey. There
are omnious yns of Republican re-
action and a Democratic revolt in all
the boss-ridden States. And in the
State of Maryland the atmosphere is
heavy with dissatisfaction. Our young
men are shut out from the opportuni-
ties of public service that properly be-
longs to them. A few men have
acquired control of all the avenues Cf
political promotion. They are not tie
true leaders Of the State, Their intel
lectual and moral standards are not

representative of what is highest and
most patriotic in Maryland. They
have built up their own fortunes by
making business of Office brokerage
at the expense Of the public interests.
They have constructed a machine every
wheel and cog whereof has been select
ed to make their own grip on local leg
islation as firm as possible. Every
office of any consequence is filed by
one of their plant creatures. And it
appears for the time being to run
smo ,thly.
But public spirit is not dead here any
more than in New York. The honest,
high-minded men of this State will yet
break the bonds of bossism. Local
pride and the worthy ambition of our
young citizens will yet have to be reck-
oned with as vital factor in the public
affairs of Maryland, and the sooner it
is made possible for her really represen-
tative young men to enter political life
and give their talents, their character
and their enthusiasm TO her service,
without becoming cringing henchmen
and subservient vassals of the bosses,
the better it Will be-

Castles in the Air.


Amid the myriad troubles that meet us
day by day,
Who would not from the conflict moment
turn away,
And In far of tairyland, where men nc
burdens bear,
Forget a while our tears and toll, in Gas
ties in the air. "
So writes Jacob Cough, and he goes
on to suggest that this sort of castle
building is proper relief for the
weary folks. How many man is sick
and miserable who dreams of health
and happiness. In this matter he had
better be doing than dreaming. "What
shall he do,' you ask. Why, take DIR.

PENNSYLVANIA'S BIG VOTE.
New York Sun (Dem.),

The Executice Comm ttee Of the
Democratic Society of Pennsylvania
has issued an address Of consolation
and coincidence, apparently for the
purpose of cheering up the mourners
after Mr.. Galusha A. Crows super
fluous and amazing plurality. In vot-
ing for Republican tariff it was nat
ural that Pennsylvania should vote
for the Republican ticket. There was
no other ticket. For there is no Dem
oclatic tariff in sight. The people
voted for Democratic and constitu-
tonal tariff in 1892, but as they can't
get it it is perfectly natural that they
should vote for the Republican tariff
and ticket.
Democratic organization will not
change these these things or save the
the democracy unless it repents and
brings forth works meet for repentance.
1t is useless to organize iu behalf of a
myth. Judged by the conduct of the
majority of the Democrats at WASH
ington, there are no Democratic prin-
ciples. A reorganization of the Dem
ocratic conscience is what is needed !;
a translation of talk into fact.
Middletown transcript., 1894-03-31

The complete rout of the Gravesend
crowd Of election bullies, the convic-
tion of the Tammany heelers, and the
decision of the courts in the New Jersey
Senate contest make upa series Of sting
ing rebukes against the Democracy of
various states where they were carry
ing things with such high hand, that
is stunning in its effect, and at the
same time well merited. These men
who have considered that public opin-
ion was dead and that they were re-
sponsible to no one for their actions
have by this time realized that when
the people are aroused against an in
justice perpetrated on the ballot box,
that where they we're once easy and
apparently Indifferent to the wrongs
caused are by political bosses when
aroused they 60 to the other extreme.
The wrath of the people when once
stirred stops at nothing short of a
complete vindication of the cause of
right. This is seen in the wholesale
conviction in New York of the election
heelers.
