Thursday evening, about 3
o'clock, wonderful spectacle was
Witnessed on Desiard street in
front of A. p. Wimberly's store.
Mr.. Wimberly was the chief actor,
aud with an ak he broke in the
heads of several barrels and kegs
of whisky, gin, wines, amounting
to several hundred gallons. The
fiery liquid spread over the street
and made a strong-scented puddle.
The report that Mr.. Wimberly was
paid for his whisky is utterly with
out foundation. It was pure sac
rifice on the altar of reform. The
only pay he got or expects to get is
the consciousness that neither he
nor anyone else will derive gain
from the sale of that liquor. -Mou-

for any man that has been honored

is simply pure treason, and the fate
of the traitor will fall on him or

nothing less than criminal. If there

decision Of the court applies only to
offices regulated by laws such as
those governing the Board of Char

What Is the Verdict Of a Juryp

The Virginia Constitution provides that
in all capital or criminal prosecutions n
man hath right to u speedy trial by a
jury, without whose unanimous consent
he cannot be found guilty. The same
Constitution provides that in suits be-
tween man and man the trial by jury is
preferable to any other. and ought to be
held sacred. This latter provision occurs
in the Constitution after the one first
mentioned. Can the Legislature authorize
seven jurymen out OF twelve TO render a
verdict In suits between man and man?
The rule. expressio unius exclusio est
aiterius, does not apply In this case, 1t
seems to us. II IN not the mere form that
Is to be ''held sacred" according to the
requirements of the Constitution. but the
substance: and the substance Of a jury
trial is verdict brought In by Just
twelve men-not twenty-four. not thir-
teen. not seven. not any number except
twelve. Not one more than twelve. not
one less. can satisfy the requirements Of

ton itself Is made a part OF the State
Constitution. mot to be violated on any

A Good Sign.

Mr.. White. of California, in his speech
OF Wednesday reminded the Republicans
in the United States Senate that there
was no loss OF strength in the Demo-
cratic party when the bill to repeal all
the Federal election-laws was put to the
vote. This triumphant utterance Is a
good Sign II tells the Republicans that
the Democrats have the courage of their
convictions. 1t blazes the way for the
Democrats in the Virginia Legislature to
follow. These Democrats ought not TO
go to the Republicans to ascertain
whether TO stand by the Anderson Nc
Cormick law or not. Let the heather
rage" The Democrats Of Virginia should
not fear TO tread the path which the
Democrats in Congress opened for them.
1t was particularly for the benefit and
at the request Of the Democrats OF Vir-
ginia and the other southern States that
tho Federal elect!on-laws were repealed.
1t was n son Of Virginia that engineered
the repeal-bill through the House Of Rep
resentatives.
Let US In the Old Dominion stand by
Tucker and his Democratic associates

the Union-and not condemn our own
election-machinery because we have con-
demned that OF our opponents.

Treasury Is the president Of the commis-

the Imperial Government despite its own

citation In silver and considered that the
subject demanded an exhaustive examina-
ton. Hence its decision to have the ques-
ton discussed by experts OF different
views and callings. with the object of
raising and rendering stable the value Of
silver. and securing basis for practical
measures.
