Court Notes.

Upon the opening ofkcourtHthis morn
ing there was quite a crowd present, it
being expected that the Savage case
would be decided, and the crowd made
no mistake. The motion for new trial
was overruled, and Otis Savage, being
told to stand up, was asked by Judge
Bradshaw if he had anything to say why
sentence should not be pronounced upon
him. The prisoner retained his won
lderful nerve to the last. There was just
shadow of moisture in his eyes, but he
said, in firm voice, SCI do not know of
anything I can say. It is evident that
job has been put up to convict me,
and shall have to take such medicine
as you give me-" Judge Bradshaw de-
livered brief, but sensible and pathetic
lecture to him, and then sentenced him
to four years in the penitentiary. He
will not be taken below for little
while, perhaps not until the appeal is
heard from.
Frank Klein was then sentenced to
eighteen months in the penitentiary.
William Smith, boy of II, who
plead guilty to stealing horse, was sent
to the reform school.

some oil paintings, done by Mrs. Glenn,
Mrs. S. G. Wilson, Mrs. Briggs and Mrs.
Inez Filloon, under the instruction Of
Miss Holcomb. Mrs. Glenn has -four
pictures, three of which are of fruits,
and one pretty bit of eoloring in the
shape of two large roses. Mrs. Briggs
has one piece only, showing two oranges,
one of them with the rind lifted, showing
the golden tinted and transl ucent flesh,
and banana. Mrs. s. G. Wilson has a
beautiful piece, a collection of pears,
and Mrs. Filloon two, one of them a
basket of grapes and the other display
of pansies.
We are not artist enough to criticise
any Of this work, but if being true
enough to nature to make ones teeth
water is an evidence of art, then every
picture in that lot is gem.

How tho President Was Influenced.

We gave the other day an explanation
as 10 how the President was induced
70 write his Wilson letter. The explana-
zion was taken from the Roanoke Ga
xette, one OF our valued exchanges. The
article was so courteously worded that we
could not possibly have intended 10 make
a discourteous reply TO il. And we q
we did not. though we said IL was unjust
20 the President. However, let the past
20 Here is what the Gazette says in its
latest issue:
1--WE are at an utter loss to see how the
explanation which We gave does an in
Justice to Mr.. Cleveland. We only said
that the President had been led to think
by Mr.. Wilson that there was still "A
chance for the House bill and so did what
ne could to have both branches enact
II into "A law. We cannot see how 1t can
be inferred from this that We thought
Mr.. Cleveland was not a man Of his own
head. Few have the hardihoCd to 50.
that. That the President should attach
80 much importance to the ccunseis of
Sir. Wilson is not only complimentary
90 the latter but creditable 10 Mr.. CleVe-
land, and had he oftener needed the adj
vice Of members Of the party, not only
him with arrogant disregard of the opin-
ions of those who have IA right to ex-
pect TO have attention paid their counsels.
but he would have undoubtedly avoided
several serious mistakes.
and since the Dispatch does not nc
cept the explanation offered by the Ga
zette as TO why the letter was written,
will Il kindly substitute one satisfactory?
If ours be not correct we can think OF
none that win excuse Mr.. Cleveland Tor
the violation Of his pledge to sign bill
framed on the lines of the one adopted
by the Senate
Ii Is none of our duty TO find reasons
for the Presidents action. But we may
say that probably. like most other men,
lie will yield to friendship what he VIII
not yield to enmity. Possibly. therefore,
he came to the conclusion that If he could
secure the passage OF the Wilson bAl
he would DO good thing for the coun-
Try and at the same time render an i'll
valuable service 10 personal friend ana
party supporter
The Gazette must accept the foregoing
reproduction Of its last article as salts
factory evidence that we designed to do
10 injustice 10 llut IdPti NHHs' We WV
trying TO do justice to the President.
Indeed. our explanation is very like the
Gazcttes
Would that we knew some method of
influencing the President just now. Would
that he could be made to understand
that the Democratic party will peril its
own existence ii Congress shall fail To
give us a new tariff bin. Would that he
could realize that the future of the Demo-
cratic party Is in his hands. 1t is for
him either TO bury that party or to give
it "A new lease Of life. 1t is for him 10
show by his action that he Is too great
a man 10 be moved by mere personal
considerations when these are brought
into competition with the needs of the
people. And. finally, 1t is for him to de-
eide whether the man selected to be
the saviour Of his country shall prove 10
he "A broken reed.
