The returns TO Auditor Marye Oh the

FLYING Machines.

The Washington Post OF Thursday
stated in few words what we hold to b.
The correct opinion on the subject OF
aerial navigation-namely, that the 90
main Of the possible undoubtedly includes
aerial navigation; for. although the
natural obstacles in the way OF such a
contamination are serious, they are not
insurmountable for their surrounding
docs not call for suspension or repeal
of any law Of nature.
When we see heavy birds or fowls
rising from the earth and flying In the
cir, we ore compelled to acknowledge that
aerial navigation is possible. We might go
further and say that It is probable. The
weight of a large turkey does not In
commode that bird or fowl. with US
II Is matter of surprise that the
problem of the navigation OF the air mas

A Poor Memory.

That men there be with mental grip
Yet In the larva state
This parable OF Simon Slip
Doth quite corroborate.
This Simon was goodly man,
Who thought him TO pursue
The custom of his sex and clan.
Some tender maid to woo.
Accordingly. in vestments trim
He amblei night by night
To one that did abide near him
Miss Araminta White.
To custom such as this he clave
Through many moons and fair;
But not hint TO her he gave
OF what did bring him there.
Sometimes, IN medltatlve way,
Just fore his midnight bow,
He'd drop, There's something I'd to say,
But I've forgot II now"
And 40, while years did overcome
Their youth, Miss White did wait
The time when Simon's cerebrum
Its germ would propagate.
Alas! Alas! 1t blossomed not
And, tired to the brim.
One eve Miss Araminta shot
This timely probe at him:
70. Simon! why beset my life
With no ambitious aim?
II you do wish me for your wife,
I'd like TO know the same"
"Hooray! Hooray" did Simon shout,
While oozed his jocund tears,
That's what I've tried to think abou
These twenty-seven years"
And now, tho age It's SHOWS hath brought.
This climax they've o'errun;

Two hearts that beat as one"

advice to all such thoughtless Demo-
Gratis.
There can be but one Democratic party
in this country. Necessarily, there
fore, all good and true Democrats ought
10 array themselves under the standards
OF that party. We have again and
again tried to impress those facts upon
our readers. II there Is to be next year
a Democratic nominee for President OF
the United States. that nominee must
from the very nature of things be opposed
IN the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver at the ratio Of 16 TO l. States
enough have already made declarations
upon this subject to Justify US in saying
what we have said. The Democrats or
virginia have not been disposed TO hurry
themselves In this matter They have
been pondering the subject, however, and
are gradually coming to the conclusion
that they will either have to create
feud within the Democratic party or else
take ground with the Democrats Of Ken
lucky, OnlO, tcIHoyishnit'
View York. and the other States whose
Democrats have determined to stand with
the friends OF sound money.
There is no ground for compromise upon
the silver question. except international
cooperation. in the work OF securing tho
free coinage OF silver at the ratio OF 10
to 1. This compromise Is a possibility OF
the future. International free coinage
would be n step towards a universal cur
rency. But the consideration and per-
lection OF such measures cannot be done
in a day. In the mean time. and WHIST
we are waiting for something better to
present itself. we must agree 10 Join
) hands with our Democratic friends all
over the Union, including President
Cleveland. In providing for sound money
II would be exceedingly unwise for the
Democrats Of Virginia to set bad ex-

"shrewdness" save us from conspiring

Let Us Have Peace.

All along the lines Of the Democracy,
especially In Virginia, there Is a demand
for harmony. From the peaceful bor-
der TO the shores Of the Atlantic the
same demand may be heard. Men
who are Democrats from principle are
not willing for any war to go on inside
the Democratic party. Here IS a speci-
men utterance-short. but 70 the point.
II 10 from the Glade-Spring Citizen:
'.Do yox know the Republicans are
laughing In their sleeve At the division
In the Democratic party. and urgiag those
belonging to the two wings 10 continue
the fight? Pull the veil from your face
and strike them blow from the shoul-
der"
Yes. the Republicans may well laugh
in their sleeves at the simplicity Of those
Democrats who have suffered themselves
TO become 90 much interested In a single
one Of the questions which may come
before the next Democratic National Con-
vention that they have forgotten their
allegiance to the Democratic party, and
