Governor O'Ferrall still remains in very
close touch with President Clev Gland. There
was ample evidence of this yesterday when
the president sent his excellency personal
telegram informing him that he had appoin-
ed Fitz Lee collector of internal revenue.
Governor O'Ferrall had not asked for this APP
pointment, nor had he recommended any one
for the place, but it is pretty we'll known
here he is not at all displeased with the selec-
ton of Lee. If the truth were, known, he is
probably delighted with the presidents
choice.
THE SALARY AND SURETY.
General Fitz Lees commission as collector
of internal revenue for the upper district of
Virginia was forwarded to him Wednesday
night. The General is expected in Washing
ton to file his surety bond, which will be to
the amount Of $4,000. AS most bonded
officer now get their bonds from fidelity COM
panies, it is supposed the General will do
likewise OF the amount, 500, 900 is designat-
ed as the official bond. and the balance is to
cover the disbursing Office.

en- candidates for Commissioner OF Roads. one
Republican and six Democrats. Four can
didates for Constable and six for Magistrate.
It seems to me that now is the time, If ever,
for the Democrats in the district to keep up
their party organization, unless they want to
surrender all the district Offices to their Re-
publican friends. 1t is a matter of general
comment that the Republican candidates for
Commissioner of l:evenue and Commissioner
of Roads did not announce themselves until
they saw that the Democratic vote would be
all split up, and being confident of the solid
vote of the Republicans in the district they
have come out to win.
Now it seems to me that we have the choice
of two horns in this dilemma. If they all run
the Republican candidate will win, and all
of them are left at home. If we hold con-
vention in the district and choose the strong
est candidate, there can be no doubt of the
result. cannot understand why our district
committee does not wake up, they are not
dead surely. Can they not see that their
present inaction is not only fatal to the sue
cess of the party this Spring, but also dan
gerous to the party organization in the future?
Seven of the candidates and great many
of the voters are in favor of a District Con-
ventiOn to nominate district officers, and if
the committee fails to call this convention it
is not only faithless to the trust reposed in it.
but also responsible for the defeat whichsure-
ly awaits the party this Spring.

THE NEWS OF THE DAY.

For the woman who does not wish to buy a
new spring hat this early in the season, here is
bit of advice. 1t may help her to look just as
fresh as her neXt-door neighbor, who paid s.
for her new straw. If your last spring hat
saw little wear and can he made into a smart
shape (Which is easy to do considering how
every lowcrowned shape is worm, then fix
1t over. Wipe the straw off thoroughly with
damp cloth dipped In kerosene, noticing
carefully that each particle of dust is remoy-
ed. Place another damp cloth over it and
press 1t lightly with bot iron. You will
find your old hat a resurreeted icing, after
this treatment.

The President, when first coming to the
White House, was probably not worth over
twenty to thirty thousand dollars, which he
had accumulated through his law practice
and from his salary as Governor OF New
York. His purchase Of Red Top, situated
just mile beyond the city limits and on the
Woodley Lane road, was a tenstrike, and
when he finally disposed of 1t he had cleared
nearly 100000 on the venture. Secretary
Whitney, who owned property near by cleared

boom which extended to the neighboring
lands. During the interim from the close Of
his first administration to the beginning of the
present the President added to his wealth
through large fees secured from big suits.
Only once during this time did he appear
before the Supreme Court, but this single
argument is said to have brought him in ten
thousand dollars.

TEST OF VARIETIES OF WHEAT.

We have received from the Virginia
Agricultural and Mechanical College, Bull
letin No. Al, with the results of the tests
of varieties of Wheat at the Agricultural
Experiment Station there, made during
the year 1894. There were five new varie-
tried which gave the following yield for the
one year-E Red ClawsOn, 25 bushels and
80 pounds the acre, E White Leader. p
bushels and As pounds; Rochester Red, q
bushels and36 pounds; American Bronze,
Is bushels and 81 pounds, and Jones Win
ter Fife, 25 bushels.
The Bulletin also gives the average yield
for four years OF sixteen old varieties. OF
these Tuscan Island gave "a bushels at
% pounds, the Tasmanian Red % bushels
at 2O4 pounds, and the Valley "a bushels
ut l64 pounds. The Fultz, Democrat and
Red Fultz, were the only other varieties
of the sixteen that reached an average Of =:
bushels to the acre in the four years.
The largest yield of straw was by the L
White Leader, 22A pounds to the acre
and the Red Fultz, 2l23 pounds.
Ct the new varieties, all are smooth and
all are short berry; the e Red Clawson and
Rochester Red are red, the American
Bronze and Jones Winter Fife ale amter
and the E White Leader is white; The
Clawson, Leader and Bronze are early il
the season, and the Rochester and Fife are
medium early.
1t may be proper in this connection tt
say that any farmer who will send his ad
dress to the Va. A. & NJ. College at Blacks
burg, will have these bulletins mailed to
him free OF any cost, as fast us they are
issued.

A JUDICIAL DsURpER:

Since the days of Reconstruction. we do
not recall such action on the part Of Fed
erA Judge as that just taken by Judge Golf
of the u. S. Circuit Court. sitting at Char
lesion, S. G. On the ground that there was
sufficient fraud in the election in South
Carolina last fall to vitiate the calling of
the constitutional convention which that
election ordered, Judge Golf has made the
following order:
ut is ordered that the defendants, John
Gary Evans. Governor of the State of
South Carolina, and 2. Butler Mccoy, a
and all other persons. charged under the
laws of the said State with the duty of
holding Oh managing elections for delegates
to the convention to be held on the second
Tuesday in the month of September, 1895,
for the purpose of revising, amending, OF
changing the Constitution Of that State
be, and they are hereby enjone.l and re-
strained from any and all action looking to
the holding of such election Or elections
Fat which delegates to the convention are
to be elected until the further order Ct
this court, &c.
This has something of the ring of such
orders as the late Judge Bond (Goff's pre-
decessOr) used to make. We see that Gov
ernor Evans has not been dismayed. In a
statement made after Judge Colts order
was made, the Governor said: 1.-The State
of South Carolina is still sovereign and in
dependent, and it is my duty, under the
Constitution of the State, to execute the
laws of the State. shall continue TO do
this, without fear of presumptuous inter-
ference on the part OF a United States Cir
cult Judge. shall treat the proceeding
with the contempt it deserves. We will,
of course, act at the proper time in accor-
dance with the respect due to the Consti-
tuition of the United States, and at the
same time all arrangements necessary for
the carrying out of the will Of the people in
reference to the constitutional convention
will be made, and all duties required OF me
by the Constitution and by the statute
laws of the State of South Carolina will be
faithfully performed. IT am in contempt
of Judge Golf, he must make the most OF
| it.'
Since Judge Bond committed the Attor'
new General and other State officers of Vir-
ginia to jail, from which they were released
by the q. S. Supreme Court, we have seen
nothing like this attempt of Judge Golf te
strike at the very tap root of State sover
eignty-the right in it's own way to hold q
State convention. When we remember thai
this interference is based on exparte afh
davits and not on a hearing of the question
Oh its merits, the usurpation is still more
startling.

The Washington correspondent of the
Alexandria Gazette says that at the open
ing of the Supreme Court Monday morn
ing Chief Justice Fuller made the following
announcement: 'sThe consideration of the
two petitions for rehearing of the income
tax cases is reserved until Monday, May
9th, when full bench is expected, and in
that event two counsel Oh a side will lie
heard at that time" This statement does
not mean that rehearing of the cases has
been granted, only that On that date the
court will hear counsel upon the question
whether OIL not a rehearing shall be granted.

"SOUND MONEY MAN."

The phrase ''sound money man. will he
often heard during the educational cam
paign on finance now opening in the United
States, and it is well to understand Just
what it means. A sound money man is
one who wants this country to have cur
rency that will be good all over the world !;
he does not favor gold any more than sill
yer, if the world, with which our country
does large business, will only agree on a
ratio between the two The only reason
that he favors gold is that the European
countries that take our wheat and pork
and tobacco use the gold standard, and if
we want to do business with them we must
recognize the fact. He does not believe
that the United States, which largely
needs and uses European capital in its de-
velopment, is able to discard that aid,
which it would have to do if our Obliga-
tions were made payable in silver. If the
monetary conference to be held in Europe
should agree On double standard no man
would be more pleased than the ''sound
money man, He is not opposed to silver
and would welcome its adoption by the
world as heartily as the most enthusiastic
silver man; but he cannot understand how
the United States, standing alone, can
make Europe (from which she is a steady
borrower) accept fifty cents worth of silver
bullion as dollar simply because she has
stamped it as such.
The ''sound money man 81 opponents in
the educational campaign will probably be
simply called Silver Men. They hold that
we can 60 it alone, without Europe OF any
body else; that the government stamp on a
piece of silver makes it worth dollar
without any further to do about it, no mat
ter what the cost Of it might be in bullion;
that we have used the double standard in
the past and that we propose to try it on NO
matter what the rest of the world does, or
what breaks.
