No MATTER in what parade Virgini-
ans take part, they are bound to keep
up with the procession. At the late
populist convention in st. Louis Mr.
Mann Page. of this State announced
that method had been discovered by
which gold could be created out of sim
pie elements st small cost. If this be
so. Mr. Page had better utilize his dis
covery at once, lest the cute yankees
who are always on the lookout for soft
snaps, get ahead of him.

THE FACT that the President and, up
to date, all the members of his cabinet,
but one, privately, ifnot publicly express
themselves as opposed to their party's
national ticket, nominated though it
was by regularly and fairly elected
convention of that party, is, to be sure,
passing strange, but not stranger than
the other fact, that their opposition will
add great strength to that ticket.

Objectionable to either republicans or
boilers; neither are those of North

who do likewise. But those who
support the democratic ticket, &C
cording to both republicans and
boilers, are ragamuffins, who should
be run out OF the country. But the ap-
pearance of things is due in no slight
degree to the eyes by which they are

THOUGH the boiling democrats say
there is plenty of money in the country,
when 100000 New York city bonds,
redeemable in gold and paying 3! per
cent. interest, were put on the market
in Wall street, where all the money is,
last Monday. mot one-third of them were
taken, for the simple reason that the

SOME ill-informed people labor under
the delusion that governmental and
political wisdom is concentrated within
the limits of the United States. If their
eyes could see and their ears hear, they
would be disabused of this silly idea

the matter of the charter for the en-.
larged city of New York, the old Lon
don plan had to be adopted.

controversy with the judicial arm or the
government because of an alleged OBJ
scene lewd and lascivious article pub
nshed in the Burlington, Kas., Courier,
through the Judgment of a majority of
the members of the supreme court of the

prove that the article complained of was
not of the nature alleged. The publica-
ton, an incident of the political campaign

a rival populist paper in the town. Upon
depositing copies of the Courier contain
ing the article in the postoffice for dis
tribution through the mails, Swearingen

was appealed to the supreme court of the

of sentence of the lower court was re-
Versed. Mr.. Justice Shiras announced the
opinion of the court, stating that the re-
versal was based upon the fact that the
judge of the trial court peremptorily in
structed the jury that the matter complain
ed OF was obscene, lewd, and lasciVious. -
This was held to be error sufficiently grave

dered. Justices Harlan, Gray, Brown and
