POLITICAL NOTES.

Washington letter in Alexandria GaZ
cite: General Walker, the single republi-
can member of the House from Virginia,
received good deal Of attention from
members of both sides of the House to day.
The General says he has no particular OBJ
ject to accomplish at this session and
knows that if he had it would be difficult
lob. as new members can't do much. He
saws he found out soon after he arrived
:iere that the officers OF the House had been
picked out, and therefore did not attend
the Southern republican caucus, as he
thought the wiser plan for him was to
accede to the inevitable and thereby lie en-
ab!ed to get some of the smaller places for
Virgnians, and that he will do SO he has
every reason to believe.
The Southern Republican members of
congress were left out in the very, very
cold IN the distribution of the offices of the
House OH Saturday, but it made them
very, very hot when they found out that
the whole thing had been arranged and 4
combine made nine months ago under the
management of Tom Platt of n. Y, and
Matt. Quay of Pa.
Senator Chandler, in his paper, the Con-
cord N. H. Monitor, predicts that the
republican national convention will declare
against single gold standard and nomi
nate Thomas B. Reed, who will be elected.

Live-Looking Dead Plants.
[From the Boston Transcript

[From the Boston Transcript
A curious exhibit is being placed IN posi-
ton in the Mechanics Fair to-day 1t is
somewhat belated, but the managers of the
fair were unable to secure it before. 1t is
nothing more nor less than display Of "mum-
mifed'' plants. 1t requires label to inform
people that they are dead, for the plants ap-
pear exactly as if alive and growing. They
are not made OF wax, or of cloth, but are
genuine plants that have grown in the earth
until they have reached good state Of devel-
opment, when. by their being treated to a
certain injection, the growth is arrested. Then
comes the strange part, for the plants SO
treated do not droop and die; the leaves re-
main fresh and bright, and the plant stands
erect. 1t is, moreover, impervious to heat
and cold, and nothing seems able to destroy
its strange repose. The most strik-
ing part OF the exhibit is COL
lection OF large palms used for decorating
These plants are noted fol- being very tender
and susceptible to almost every influence

months, yet not even when the leaves are
carefully examined would the fact be sus-
pecteQ.

A Ceurtship 500 Miles Long.

Mr.. George B CASTOR of indianapolis, Ind.
Secretary and Treasurer of the Transfer Com
pany OF that city, was guest last Saturday
at the Imperial Hotel, New York city, with
his bride. who, up to the day before had been
Miss Ethel Mary Bishop, daughter of Mr..
James Draper Bishop of London, England.
Miss Bishop had been staying with friends
at Pelham Manor, just outside of New York,
since last February and MI Gaston's sisters
were intimate with her. It was there he fell
in love with her, but could never get the
courage to propose to her. He returned to
Indianapolis and there got letter from one
of his sisters all full of Miss Bishop. The
rest of the story is told by New York paper
as given by Mr.. CASTOR:
CASTOR thought for moment, and then
rus he'd to the telephone, looked up the num-
Der of Gilliland's house telephone in the
long-distance telephone book, and asked to be
connected Pretty soon he heard feminine
voice at the other end of the line call,
'IIello!'
"Hello! who is that?" answered CASTOR
Who? Oh! Miss Bishop? Well this is Mr.. Gas
ton, Miss Bishop. Where am |? In Indian
apolis. Yes, in Indianapolis. Thought I'd
call you up toto ask how my sisters arg.
You'll call one of them and let her speak
for herself? Oh! never mind, said never
mind N-e-v-,-r-never No, not min' !;
Hello! How are you? just
going to the city? Theatre party tonight?
Oh, not going in till the 4-o'clock train?

through talking yet. Gone at the other end?
Well, ring up again.
After waiting some time he got the Gill;
land house again and began talking with
Miss Bishop.

said. "and then came out with the question
She evidently couldn't understand me, for
this was the answer got:

THE MESSAGE or PRESLDz
CLEVEI4A Nd sfsss

The message OF President Cleveland on
Monday was not looked for with the usual
interest by the country, for the reason that
it is addressed to Republican congress,
which will rather devise its own measures
than adopt his.
He practically notifies congress that the
administration stands Oh the Monroe doc.
trine, but he thinks the dispute between
Great Britain and Venezuela should be
submitted to arbitration. and our govern
ment has asked Great Britain to SO sub
nit it.
In matters of finance he says that the
greenbacks and Treasury rotes should be
retired and cancelled. He says that when
the last loan was made, the government was
perilously near stopping gold payment and
that previous loans had shown that those
who loaned the id Immediately drew it
out again. He suggests t at Gt ids he
issued to call in the gree acks al Treas
ury notes. In order to avoi a CT ntraction
of The currency he recon- lends that the
national banks be permitted to issue notes
to the par value of their bonds, and that
the tax on circulation be reduced to one
fourth of one per cent.
In the field of foreign affairs he says the
government has extended every protection
to the missionaries in China and Turkey.
He says the present tariff is based upon
the principle that the government has no
right to obstruct the avenues to the peo-
pies cheap living, and that American
thrift can build up the country IS industries
more surely than enervating paternalism.
AS to Cuba he says it is our bounden
duty to strictly observe the neutrality
laws.
These are the main points in the message
which is lengthy one. 1t is calm and
conservative in its tone, but firm and un-
yielding withal.

The Walton Law.
TFrom the Suffolk Herald I


The Walton election law is giving
the opponents OF Democracy much concern in
some sections Of Virginia, while in others
they candldly admit that it is the fairest and
best law that has been enacted and that it
has been honestly administered, II this were
not SO, and it was terrible and dishonest
law why did not the thirty odd members
elected to the Legislature on the 5th instant
on the opposition ticket get cheated or coun,
ted out The same party has control of the
election machinery all soyer the State, and
that party is made up Of the best white peo-
pie. Could we expect the opposition, which
is composed of all sorts of soreheads, disgrunt-
led Populists, Republicans, odds and ends. to
give us more honest and better law? No!
The law is a good one in most respects, and
with certain amendments will be as good or
better than that of any of our sister States,
North or South

THE LUNENBURG MURDER,

The Supreme Court of Appeals of Vir-
ginia after hearing argument, has enlarged
it's writ so as to keep the prisoners accused
Of the murder of Mrs. Pollard in Lunen-
burg, in the jail at Richmond until their
application for a new trial is decided. The
COURT also. while giving Gov. O'Ferrall
credit for the honesty of his intentions,
disapproyed Of his course in interfering
with the order Of the county court Of Lu-
nenburg for the return of the prisoners,
and also disapproved of the writ of habeas
corpus granted by Judge Wexford by
which they were kept in Richmand. As
regards the Governor case, the Supreme
Court was undoubtedly right-the legiti-
mate powers of ths courts cannot be too
rigidly guarded, a just and upright court
being the last and only refuge of the people.
But it is proper to say that the Governor
did not intend to interfere with the court,
and that he believed-a belief he should not
bave entertained in our opinion--that his
temporary obstruction was justified by the
opinion to that sffect OF the Attorney
General and by a statement made by the
special prosecuting attorney Of the LINEN
burg court. No utterances by an officer
of court, it should always be remember
ed, can be construed as giving liberty to
obstruct the order of the judge Of that
court who is the court itself, and in whom
reside it's powels. All our sympathies
in this matter have been with Gov. OFFER
rail- in his manly and noble effort to pro-
tect helpless prisoners from mob. All
his intentions were of the highest and purest
character and were crelitable to him as a
man and as the Chief Magistrate of the
State. He erred while trying to enforce
the right and not while trying to permit
wrong. and the people will remember him
kindly even for his error.

WHERE THE GENERAL UGU-
RATED IT.

WHERE THE GENERAL INA GU-
RATED 1T.
An old landmark is about to disappear
from Richmond. It is the old Sycamore
Disciples church on Eleventh street Just
vacated Ivy tie Supreme Court of Appeals
for it's new quarters. 1t was in this build
ing that the House Of Delegates met after
the Capitol disaster. 1t was at time
that Gen. Malone had one of his railroad
schemes before that body and in little brick
Office in the yard of the church the General
opened out free lunch. edibles and liquids,
for the use of the members. 1t was under
the supervision of Capt. Richard F.
Walker the Generals right hand man. and
one of the smartest lobbyists and polite
ians of that or any other day. 1t was the
first time such thing had ever been done
right in the annals of Virginia legislation.
The members took to it kindly, especially
the colored portion. and the scheme-we
forget now what it was-went through
safely.

THE OPENING OF CONGRESS.

THE OPENING OF CONGRESS.
The assembling Of the House of Repre-
sentatives on Monday was prefaoed by two
caucuses; one by the Southern Republican
congressman to see what they could get i'll
The way OF officers Of that body. and another
by all the Republican members Saturday
night, at which the Southern Republicans
were Informed in practical way that they
could get nothing. The following officers
of the House were nominated Saturday
night and elected Monday-Speaker, Thos.
Il. Reed of Me-; Clerk, Alexander Nc
Dowell of Pa: Sergeant-at Arms, Benz.
f. Russell Of Mo-; Doorkeeper, VIM. J.
Glenn of n. Y; Postmaster, Jos. e. Nc
Eiroy Of Ohio, and Chaplain, Rev. Nh
Fisher of Kansas.
At the caucus Saturday night after he
was chosen for Speaker, Mr.. Reed made Il
Notwithstanding speech in which he
managed to touch the ground nowhere and
to say nothing, very cleverly. He did the
same thing when he took the Speaker
Chair Monday.
In the Senate Vice President Stevenson
took his seat. 1t seems more and more
apparent that the Republicans will re-
organize the Senate corps of officials on
strict party lines just as soon.a they get
ready, which will not be many weeks.
The Democrats of the House, as is usual
in such cases, put their old officers. Speaker
Crisp and others, up as compliment.
Perhaps the most important thing at the
opening OF this congress was the failure of
the conference Of silver Senators on Mon
day. 1t was only participated in 10y sena-
tors Allen, Kyle. PETER and Stewart. Pop
ulists, and Tillman Of S. G., Democrat.
The Republican silver Senators-Te ller.
Pritchard and Mantel-were present, but
would take Ito part in the proceedings.
The small attendance showed that the old
party ties were too strong to admit OF
forming silver party in the Senate.

FINANCIAL STUMB-


On the money question the Republican
congress which met last Monday will lie
on no bed of roses.
Will they give free silver as the silverites
demand ? No!
Will they give MI. Cleveland the author
ity which he will demand, to issue gold
bonds and thus escape the necessity of
paying high interest and giving the buyers
high premiums? No!
Will they take the step WHICH common
sense demands. retire the greenbacks and
Treasury notes and do away with the
necessity Of issuing any bonds for gold at
all? No!
Will they have the courage to do the only
thing that can settle the financial question
take the government out Of the banking
business? No!
Will they do what the Democrats did
last session. denounce one 'make-shift and
then make another? Yes!

A VICTORY FOR NEWPORT NEWS.

When the bids were opened in Washing
ton, Saturday, for the building of the two
big battle ships, it WIS found that the
Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock
Company in Virginia were anywhere from
Sooo,ooo to 100000 lower than any other
olddefs. The act passed for the building
VI those ships provides that one of them
snail be built on the Pacific coast 'sif the
price Is reasonable" but the Secretary will
hardly deem that price nearly half mil
non more than the lowest bid, is treason
able. SO Newport News stands a good
chance to get both ships, especially as she
has tie only ship yard in the United States
that can dock battle ship.

YNHE Shakers have made great hit. Their
l. Digestive Cordial is said to be the most
successful remedy for stomach troubles ever
introduced 1t Immediately relieves all pain
and distress after eating, builds up the feeble
system and makes the weak strong.
The fact is, foods properly digested are better
than So calico tones. The Cordial not only
contains food already dlgested, but is digester
OF other foods. Food that is not digested does
mere harm than good. People who use the Cor,
dial insure the digestion of what food they eat
and in this way get the benefitof it and grow
strong.
The little pamphlets which the Shakers have
sent druggists for free distribution, contain
dyspepsia.
