A man from Troy told this story the
other day to small company OF
friends about police justice in a little
town in Rensselaer, county: twas the
law of the village that all shOwmen.

along came an Italian with perform

''Hev yez got yer icense?" asked the
policeman.
''No." said the exhibitor of the bear
''Then yer my priz ners," said the pc
liceman. and he triumphantly marched
off with them to the village station
house, he leading the Italian and the

the Italian pleaded guilty and the judge
officiously gave him Il most severe and

culprit had lot of small change in his
pocket. but being mostly pennies and
nickles it only counted up seven dollars
and siXty-five cents. For very few
moments the judge was in quandary.
He didn't want to send the fellow tC
Jail. nor yet lose the ten dollars. Pres
emily bright idea struck him-a happy
solution of the problem-and he said:

THE CONCLUSION

THE CONCLUSION
We had all been warned to appear
before the magistrates upon the Thurs
day: but when the Thursday came
there was no occasion for our testi-
mony. A higher Judge had taken the
matter in hand. and jefferson Hope
had been summoned before a tribunal
where strict justice would be meted
out to him. On the very night after
his capture the aneurism burst. and he
was found in the morning stretched
upon the floor Of the cell. with a placid
smile upon his face. as though he had
been able il his dying moments to
look back upon a useful life and on
work well done.
''Gregson and Lestrade will be wild
about his DEATH" Holmes remarked. as
we chatted it over next evening.
''Where will their grand advertisement
be now?"
II don't see that they had very much
to do with his capture" answered.

WHEAT, VIRGINIA AND WESTERN

Time was when the wheat grown in Tx
Valley Of Virginia. was thought to be su
perior to any other wheat for milling puI
poses. When new lines of railroad put
the great wheat fields of the West within
easy reach of eastern markets and nileTs,
wheat growers in the Valley still felt indie
pendent and secure in the idea that the
Mediterranean and Longberry wheats rails
ed in this section could not be brought in
to close competition with the ShortberrA
grown on the bonanza farms Of the West
and Northwest, because OF tile difference
in quality. And the claim of Valley farm
ers that their wheat is superior to the other
for milling and export purposes is freely
conceded by millers and shippers OF the
east. Yet, within few years, we have
seen Valley wheat practically driven out of
the markets of the world, and to-day choice
Longberry wheat. the best raised in Au-
gusta county, than which there is no bet
ter winter wheat grown the world over, is
selling for less money in StauntOn than

of affairs. If the rates Of freight are the
same from Chicago and Staunton to tie
sea-board, and the quality OF their wheat
as good, it would seem that the markets
would be equal, but to have the price high

One thing, however, is very clear, that if

WOMEN ON STATE INSTITUTION
RO4 RDS

A friend, for whose opinions we always
entertain respect, writes us with reference
to an editorial last week about having
women on the boards of the State institu-
tons, that he thinks Virginia had better
go slow in this matter, and let some other
State try it first Well, other States haze
tried it. and it worked SO we'll that they will
not give it up. In reply last winter to a letter
from Delegate Geo. w. Koiner of Augusta,
Gov. Patterson of Penns ylvania, Demo-
cratic Governor-and we add this because
our Old friend has an idea that whatever q
Democrat does is right-said that women
made excellent members of the boards CT
their insane asylums in Pennsylvania.
Governor Patterson had had experience
when he wrote, and we see that since he
wrote that letter he has appointed a woman
physician Oh a board to build an asylum.
We can hardly think the Pennsylvania
women are so superior to our own Virginia
women, that one can be trusted to import
ant work and the other cannot. But the
appointment Of women Oh State institution
Governor Samuel J. Tilden Of New York
another distinguished Democrat you see

that date many appointments OF women on
State boards have been made in maty
States of the Union. In New York city

Board Wedo not suppose there is a man
who would think over the matter, that
would not recognize the propriety of our
Council putting women Oh the School

that our excellent school board would be
at all impaired in its efficiency by the cleo
ton of two weU educated, and refined

Staunton is a progressive city, why can
she not set the example to the other cities
Of Virginia? The hundreds of school

A MONUMEMT TO THE WOMEN or
THE CONFEDERACY.


A few weeks ago Col. r. Z. w. Duke, in
presenting flag to a camp Of veterans at
Charlottesville on behalf of the ladies of
that town and the University, said that
steps should be taken at once to erect
monument to the Women of the Confeder-
acy Of 1875. Last week Capt. T. G. Nor
ton OF Stanton, at the meeting of the
Grand Camp of Confederate Veterans of
Virginia, called the attention Of that body
to the fact that the memorial work of the
South would not be completed until a monn-
ment had been erected to the women of the
Confederacy.
No man outside of the South can under
stand the heroism Of the woman inside of
it during that fonr years. With mind torn
with anxiety for her husband and sons in
the army; with heart bleeding for her own
already fallen: with want staring her in
the face: poorly clad, but sending clothing to
loved ones in the field, stitched by fingers
gaunt from suffering: sending food to
them from homes that did not know where
the next week S food was to come from; de-
fiant of all that man could do. and turning
suppEcating eye to God at every fresh
blow she received; fabricating with loyal
hands letters about fictitious comforts at
home that those she loved might be more
content in the ranks; traversin9 the coun-
try sometimes on foot that she might bring
home her dead for burial and her wounded
for care; nursing in hospitals and looking
to the doors with terror-strained eyes al
every new battle expecting her own to he
brought in; knowing the terror Of war to
its utmost, this heart of gold stood cree.
and loyal to the last-faithful even unto
death. Her worn out body and aching
heart has been laid in graves all over this
Confederate soil; she died for the faith that
was in her as nue., as did any soldier.
Shall his name be writ in marble: then
shall her S be writ in gold For there is no
breeze that sweeps over this Southern land
on memorial day that does not stir the
grass above ner grave, and whisper as it
passes "Greater love hath no lna,l than
this: that a man lay down his life fer his
friends.'7

ing against true tariff reform, which has result
ted in the miserable makeshift and abortion
presented the other day in the Senate. They first
embarrassed and harrassed that true tariff re-
former, that Democrat without fear and withr
out reprcach, VIM. L. Wilson,, of West Vir-
giuia, in his strenuous attempt to measurably
redeem the tariff pledge of the Chicago pla =
form. True, most of the Virginia delegation
declined to vote against the bill when, in
spite of their earnest and persistent protests,
iron ore and coal were left on the free list by
the Ways and Means committee and after
wards by vote of the House But when the
Wilson bill got to the Senate with its bare
Democratic majority, our Senators joined
with others in the clamor for taxed iron ore
and coal.
They got what they demanded Under threats
and then commenced that shameful system Of
log rolling, of bargain and sale, which has
resulted in the most frontless, the most hid-
eous instance of breach Of faith that the cen
fury has known.
In sorrow more than indignation, we must
confess that oar Representatives, oar Sena-
tors, must shoulder large part of the re-
sponsibility for this atrocious lapse from po-
litical virtue and good faith.
Virginia should say to every one of the
guilty, "never more be officer of mine" The
districts and the State at large, when the OPP
portunity presents itself, should relegate
every Que of the faithless representatives to
private life.

RAPID NEWSPAPER WORK.


The VINDICAToR last week contained
an excellent presentation of the crime OF
Spiller and his execution. Its scenic pho
tographs, maps and portraits were of course
all prepared in advance. And then the race
was for who should give the news to the
people first. The VINDICATOR put it's &C
count Of the execution in type, put its
forms to press and had its paper on the
streets in the hands of forty-seven news
boys ahead of all competitors. In just fifty
one minutes from the falling of the trap
the VINDICAToR was on the streets, and il
less than two hours over thousand people
had bought and were reading it. 1t was
also sent to HarrisonDurg where a large
number Of the edition was sold. Besides
this work, its regular edition was worked
off and its city and county subscribers sup
piled as soon as the carriers and mails could
reach them.
The second edition Of the paper was sold
off as rapidly rs the first and the newsboys
had to be refused. Never has the demand
for papers been as great in Staunt0n since
the VlNDICAToR got out an extra contain
ing a history of the Cluverius murder, and
a Geographic account Of his execution on
January 14th. 1887. On that occasion, be-
tween clock and dark, the VINDICATOR
sold $500 papers in Staunton and the towns
of Lexington, Harrisonburg and Char
lottesville.
OF course the VINDICAToR feels pretty
comfortable over it's success in this rapid
collection and distribution Of the news, but
it would not feel that it had done
justice all around, if it did not acknowledge
it's obligations to MI. J. J. Prufer of the
job printing firm of Stoneburner & Prufer
who gave his Invaluable assistance. He
is a graduate from this Office and has the
merited reputation of being thorough
and rapid expert i'll his business. and we
take this occasion to thank him and his
active lieutenant. MI. Ellwood Stonebur-
ner. for their timely aid.
