If Governor O'Ferrall shall attempt
to instruct the Commonwealth Attor-
ney OF Alexandria county in respect of
the discharge of the duties of his Office,
he may receive in reply letter such
as Judge Portlock of Norfolk county
wrote to Governor Mckinney, when the
latter instructed him in respect of a pro-
posed prize fight within his jurisdiction,
which was to the effect that the duties
OF all the States officers were prescribed
by the laws of the State, and that if the
Governor would attend to his own, he,
the Judge, would attend to his.

Gov. O'FERRALL is reported in q
Washington newspaper as saying that
che is prepared to have prosecuted any
person making foreign books on the
race tracks in Alexandria county, for
that is contrary to law" The Gov

with his own hand, he signed the bill
by which the keeping of foreign books
on the race tracks in Alexandria coun-
ty is allowed, by special provision; as
any body can see by reading that bill.
Why he did so, he knows as well as
some other people.

THE compulsory education law in
the District of Columbia has, as an
ticipated by intelligent people, proved
y conspicuous failure. And such must
necessarily be the fate of like law
wherever it may be enacted, that is, as
long as this country shall retain re-
publican form of government. Personal
liberty is under heavy restrictions in
the United States, but, until it shall be
utterly denied, American parents will
not relinquish control of their own

LIKE most all the previous ones, the
strike at the coal mines in West Vir
ginia is dying out, and those of the
strikers whose places have not been
filled by other men, are going back to
work Tor the same wages they were re-
ceiving when they quit, or, as they ex.
press it, commenced their vacation. !"
Work is by no means plentiful now,
aud those who have it, if they be wise,
will not give it up in one place until
they have secured it in another.

THE STATE republican convention OF
Ohio, as was expected, has made a
straddle on the silver question. 1t
really seems as if the democrats will
nominate full blooded silver man for
President, and the republicans half
breed, and that the gold men of both
parties will assist Mr.. Cleveland in hi,
aspiration to excel General Washing
ton and all his other Predecessors, and
he third President. In such 6
contest The latter's fate could hardly be
other than that anticipated by the SICK
ex. Confederate if he should, in his veal
condition, adopt the advice to wrestl'
with the devil.

democratic convention, in view OF the
patent auti-Southern feeling IN the
North. in all parts of which such q thing
would be "more than flesh and blood

an occasional attempt is made to revive
it. The convention, however, will not

the sensationalists will learn to give
hemost insane democrat credit for more

of such thing as that referred to would

THE City Council last night reduced
the tax rate from 81 to s1.9O on the
hundred dollars of the assessed value
of real estate. This is one step, at least,
in the right direction, and is indicative
of others. A prudent man will not
build house where tho tax and insur-
ance on it amount to as much as he
would have to pay to rent one from
some body else.

THE OHIO REPUBLICANs.-At Zanes-
vile last night the republicans of Ohio,
on the sixth ballot, nominated General
Asa S. Bushnell, of Springfield, a rich
manufacturer, for Governor, defeating
G. K. Nash. The result is regarded as
victory for Foraker and the ex.Gov-
ernor was the recipient of an enthusi-
astic demonstration. Senator Sherman
was chosen chairman of the convention
and made a speech in favor of high
tariff and sound money.
To-day A. W. Jones was nominated
for Lieut.-Gov. The resolutions indorse
Mckinley for President and Foraker
for the senatorship, favor protective
tariff, bi-metalism, and demand the use
of both gold and silver as standard
money. A dispatch from GAINESVILLE
says:
The result of the defeat of Nash is to dis
possess Gov Mckinley and his friends of the
control of the State political machinery after
January next, and to make ex-Gov. Foraker
the party dictator of the State. 1t likewise
settles the fact that the Ohio delegation to
the next republican presidential convention
will contain at least two snti-McK inleyites at
large in the person of General Asa Bush
nell, who will then wear the title of governor,
and ex-Gov. Foraker who will probably be
alluded to as "Senator.elect."

81 congratulate you, gentlemen, upon
the record Of the most mOmentOus year
in the history OF irrigation as moral and
intellectual movement. Since we last
assembled, the irrigation movement of
Kansas, Nebraska and Texas has tri-
Umphed in effective legislation. By
legal enaetments the men of the plains
have recognized that irrigation west of
the Tooth meridian is fundamental to
agricultural prosperity. No man can
oveFestimate the significance of that
recognition. 1t means a new Kansas, a
new Nebraska. a new Texas. 1t means
sure crops and industrial independence,
small farms and social opportunities.
OF the remaining states of the plains,
South Dakota has preceded her sisters
in the provision of irrigation laws, while
North Dakota and Oklahoma have each

New Era in Western Progress.
'"The passage by congress in August,
1894, Of the law granting ], 000, 600 acres
of arid public lands to each Of the de-
sert states called for the enactment of
supplementary legislation, and furnished
the occasion for a vigorous campaign
before the legislatures of eight states.
Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, Idaho,
Washington and Nevada accepted the
grant of !, 900, 900 acres each, and all ex-
cept Nevada provided appropriations
and administrative machinery to render
the grant Immediately operative. In
Oregon a vigorous effort was made to
the same end but was defeated narrow

session. The laws enacted in accepting
the Carey grant marks a new era il our
