PLUMS IN SIGHT
LOCAL REPUBLICANS HUsTl.-
ING FOR A JOB

Since the election of Mckinley to the
Presidency large numb Der of applicants
for the various places TO be created By
change of administration has hatched cut
and it is safe to predict that the incoming
President will have his hands full in sat
isfyine the various claimants for patron
age, all Of whom have done more to fur
ther the cause of the G. O. p in the Old
Dominion than amy one else.
OF course when il comes to postofliceS
the names of tn ose who seek to serve their
country in the capacity OF pustmasters
are legion. Just think OF the probable
dozen or fifteen applicants to succeed NJ.
Dupuy in this city and then calculate
that the same conditions prevail in every
city i'll the United States. The Posts
master Generaship must not lie so desir-
able after all. Among the most imnor-
tant places to be given out in Virginia is
that of Collector of Internal Revenue,
which. will be made Immediately after the
inauguration. Among those promi-
nently spoken of is Thos. J. Wilson, II
young lawyer of Clifton Forge, who it is
said is bcked by the iron interests of
that ton and has the endorsement of
NJ. +. Ingalls,, president of the Chesn-
peakc anti Ohio railway, and VINO did IL
great deal OF campaigning in favor of
Mckinley 1t is also understood that

Wilson. Among other aspirants for the
same position are Capt. Is. A. Rives, OF
Stanton; Il. II. McCaull, OF Loudon:
j. b. Stovall, of Halifax, and Park Ag-
new, who isat present Il resident of Wash
ington, ID. c.
Theresare many applicants to succeed
Geo w. Levi as United States marshal,
prominent among them being s Brown
Allen, of Staunton. When it comes to
deputy marshals and ruaeers the woods
are full of them, although'cvil service has
been extended to these minor positions in
the revenue service 1t is understood,
however, that the civil service will not
cut much figure and will hardly be rccog-
nized when it comes to filing United
States gaugers positions. Districts will
be rcdistricted in such manner as to
shut out eligibles who have passed cred
liable examinations and decided compe-
tent to fill these positions.
There is likely to be IL warm fight over
the district ettorneyship for the eastern
district of Virginia, which is now held by
y. j. Montague, of Danville. Attorney
Gleayes, prominent Republican of
Wytheville, is an aspirant for the place,
also Col. j. w. lIartwell and J. HAMPTON
lloge, of this city.

Freedom Of The Press.

The numerous renunciations OF
party nominations and political plat
forms recently by newspapers is the
best evidence that the American
press is broader in its scope and
freer in its advocacy of what it
thinks is right than any other pos
sible demonstration.
In the East anything but a main
tenance of the present basis of cur
rency is looked upon and considered
detrimental to the general business
situation and the future prosperity
of the country.
In the West and South the popu-
lar sentiment is in favor of the coin
age of silver on the basis "I6 to l."
as the great key to future success
and Prosperity.
Newspapers in accord with the
best business sentiment of the COM
munities in which they are published
are forced by the present agitation
to stand on one side of the line or
the other, and acting on the best
judgment of the editors, boldly shake
off old political ties, if nessary, to
uphold principles which they think
are right.
Such free and independent press,
as the American press has always
shown itself to be, is the sefe bull
wark of American institutions and a
republican form of government that
our revolutionary forefathers aimed
to make it by guaranteeing it ur-
limited freedom.
In the light of great publicity, the
majority of the people vote with full
information on the great questions
of the day which would be impos-
sible were it not for the wide circu-
lation of newspapers.

THOU SHALT NOT sTEAL!"
Pi1ferer@. Beware:

From the numerous complaints
throughout the country, we deem it
wisdom to utter a word of warning
to a certain class of individuals, be-
fore some of them are laid low and
have to be placed in that long sleep
from "whence no man returneth"
until he shall come forth and stand
before the judgement seat Of God,
to be judged by the works done in
the flesh, for every act, whether
good or evil, are recorded in the
books, for we read in the goth chap
ter and r2th verse of Revelations:
"And I saw the, dead, small and
great, stand before God; and the
books were opened: and another
book was opened, which is the book
of life: and the dead were judged
out of those things which were writ
ten in the books, according to their
works. Verse r5.) And whosoever
was not found written in the book of
life was cast into the lake of fire."
SO how necessary it is for each of
us to live in that way that we will
not be ashamed to stand before our
Heavenly father and receive the re-
ward we justly merit!
In this city, especially, there are
many who have been troubled for
years by pilferers, or, if you please
in more plain language, set OF
thieves, who have visited melon
patches, orchards and vineyards, and
have helped themselves to all they
could eat, night after night and time
after time,as though they had no re
gard for the rights of their fellow
man! And not only this, but no
satisfied with stealing what they car
make way with, they then DESTROY
large portion of what they have no
stolen.
Only few nights ago, thieve
isAfmxum.

visited the melon patch of Charles
A. Terry and cut and slashed his
melons up in fearful shape; but
there is one satisfaction in this in
stance the depredators are known
and if they visit the premises again,
are liable to be caught.
The owners of these melon patch
es, orchards and vineyards have
borne this kind of treatment until
forbearance has ceased to be a vir-
tue and they are now preparing to
have their rights, and it may be at
the expense of some the wilful dep
redator, unless they stop short.
When we lived in Provo, years
ago, we we'll remember the horrible
fate of a melon stealer. A hard
working, one armed man, had nice
melon patch and he had worked
hard to get it, and one day he saw
and heard crowd planning to make
a raid on his melons that night and
SO he prepared to give them warm
reception. He loaded his shotgun
and lay ready for them, intending to
lame the depredators so he could
have them arrested and prosecuted.
Soon crowd came, aud when they
got into the melon patch, he took
aim low down, so as to hit them in
the legs, but one poor boy who had
disobeyed his fathers kind counsel
"not to steal" was down on his
hands and knees, feeling for the
melons, and he received the shot in
his face and was instantly killed.
Well, to make a long story short,
circumstances compelled the one
armed man to 60 to Prest. Brigham
Young, and after telling him the
circumstances of the case, Prest
Young told the one armed man to
go ahead and kill all the thieves.
We can tell you this case was a les
son to the balance of the thieves
that were left, and it ought to be a
warning that the thieves in this vi
entity should heed, before some of
them are put qnietly to rest, in the
same way. We have been told that
Prest. Young once said, eff you
catch white man stealing, shoot
him; if you catch an Indian stealing
teach him better" ~
White folks know better than to
take that which does not belong to
them, but the natives have been use
to stealing all their lives.
1t is no greater sin to knock a
man down and take the money out
of his pocket than it is to go into
his orchard, vineyard, melon or corn
patch and pilfer the fruit or other
products therefrom, for it is not your
property and you have no business
