DECISION AFFIRMED.-As stated in
The GAZETTE of that date in the Court
of Appeals in Richmond on Thursday
Judge Harrison handed down the
opinion in the case of Crawford Paving
Company VS.. Baum ct ais. The appel
lants owned stone quarry on the river
in Alexandria county and worked it
farther and farther back from the river
until they had yard 247 feet long by
l5O feet wide. The County Court es-
;ablished across this yard road so feet
wide and Is miles long. Several
parties gave the right OF way, and the
road was public convenience. Com
missioners were duly appointed, who
had every advantage OF view, witnesses
aud able counsel on both sides. In
their report to the County Court they
allowed the paving company damages
TO the amount OF 5000, and their report
was confined The paving company
contended for more, and had some
witnesses, who set up claim for sew
eral thousand dollars. But these pre-.
tentions were so answered and obviated
that the report of the commissioners
was not disturbed. This court says
"The report of the commissioners re-
ceived the approval of both The County
and Circuit Courts. No satisfactory
reason is disclosed by the evidence, nor
was any shown in the argument, for
disturbing it. The judgment of the
Circuit Court is, therefore, affirmed"

DESTROYING OUR EYEsIGHT.

DES u NJ lN1 OOh FL ESl0hls
London oculists are up in arms
against the very serious danger to the
community caused by the electric light.
Several eminent eye doctors are agreed
ou the point that unless stop is put
to the exposure of uncovered electric
lights in the streets and in shops and
offices nearly ali the population will
become blind. Experts are so greatly
exercised in the matter that they even
suggest that Parliament should take 1t
up, and prohibit the use of plain glass
globes for electric lights unless they are
properly shaded.
Commenting on this, London cleo
trical journal says: SIT is not custom
airy to look at the sun, and not even the
most enthusiastic electrician would sug-
gest that naked arcs and incandescent
filaments were objects to be gazed at
without limit. But naked arc lights
are not usually placed so as to come
within the line of sight, and when they
do SO accidentally, whatever may re-
suit the injury to the eye is quite per-
ceptible. The filament of glow lamp,
on the other hand, is most likely TO
meet the eye, but frosted bulb is an
extremely simple and common way OF
getting over that difficulty.
"Tne whole trouble can be easily rem
edied by the use of properly frosted or
colored glass globes. In any case,
however, the actual permanent injury
to the eye by the glowing filament is no
greater than that due to an ordinary
Gas flame"

In Great Variety.

1t is a waste of time to talk
about these Waists, and we
wouldn't have a word to say if
you would know of their pres
ence here without.
We can't tell half the story.
The Waists are better than
words and more convincing.
You will agree with us when
you see them,
If you want the sweetest
Waists in town see these. A
distinction and a difference
Our Shirt Waists are distinctly
different from Shirt Waists as
you commonly meet them; a
triAe finer. a little neater, a.
slight difference in tile form,
sleeves hang a little better,
collar fits a little better. All
of these differences are in our
favor. Each trlhe in itself,
makes a big difference in the
waists, however.
You will admit it when you
purchase one of ours at 4oc,
FAC, S9c or csc. We have al
SO a nice line of all kinds of
Silk in waist patterns from 55c
per yard upwards.

TEE LEEls- AT WEST POINT.

THE LEES AT WEST POINT.
The Lee family of Virginia, which
has furnished the most distinguished
military leader of this country, has had
no representative in the fedora! army
for more than thirty-four years. The
succession in this service is now to be
renewed in the person of Mr.. George
Mason, The 19-year-old son of General
Fitzhugh Lee, the dashing Confederate
cavalry commander end poplar ex
Governor, who was but recently ap-
pointed by President Cleveland Consul
General to Cuba.
This handsome young aspirant for
military honors enters West Point
Military Academy in June next.
Young Lee has already spent two
and half years at the Virgin
ia Military Institute, at Lexington,
where he stood we'll in all of his classes.
When he left that school he had at.
tanned the rank of sergeant in his class.
Having passed successful preliminary
examination, young Lee has the privi-
lege of entering West Point without
any further examination.
George Mason Lee, on his paternal
side, is great-great-grandson of
George Mason, the famous Virginis
statesman aud author of the Bill Of
Rights. Mr.. Lee was quite small lad,
in knickerbrockers, when his father
came here as Governor OF the State in
1856. He is we'll remembered by many
of the young men of this city, with
whom he is very popular.
For more than one hundred and ffty
years the Lees have occupied distin
suished and commanding positions in
the military history of the Colony of
Virginia or the United Stntes govern
ment.
TIE long list includes, besides Gen
vral Robert E Lee, W. q. F., G. W.
c., Fitzhugh and Light Horse" Harry,
Colonel Richard Lee, who came over
here from England In the same ship
With Sir William Berkely, in 1912, and
many others of the name who won dis
inction on the battlefield.
In the southern army the'Lees were
represented by General r E. Lee. his
four sous and his nephew, General Fi,z-
hugh Lee. at the breaking out of hos
tiIilies General Lee was lieutenant
colonel in the Federal army, and Fitz-
nugh a captain.-Richmoad Dispatch.

A CABINET SUGGESTION.

In view OF the service rendered the
country and the Republican party by the
sound-money Democrats in the recent
election the Journal takes the liberty of
suggesting that Mr.. Mckinley should offer
some repres entative sound-money Demo-
crat a place In his Cabinet. The Importance
of the service they rendered is admitted
by all. There is no means OF knowing
what proportion of them voted for Nc
Kinley. but probably four-ffths of them
did. 1t is quite within the limits of probable
ity that but for the sound-money Democrats
Mckinley would not have carried Indiana.
1t is even possible that he might not have
been elected. The majorities he
received in the Eastern States were doubt
less due in a considerable degree to the
votes of sound-money Democrats, and the
same may be said of Illinois, where the
city Of Chicago with it's great population
of business men and sound-money Ger
a contributed largely to the majority.
1t requires very little study of the election
returns to prove that the Republican party
owes them a great debt CT gratitude. The
Journal has already voiced this feeling in
words which all Republicans approve, but
words are not enough. Perhaps the sound
money Democrats themselves are suf-
fciently rewarded by the defeat of Bryan
and Organism, but they could not be in
different to a distinct recognition of their
service by the President whom they helped
to elect. The question is what ought to be
done and what can properly be done in this
direction. In the opinion of the Journal the
President-elect could. with entire propriety,
offer a representative sound-money Demo-
crat a place in his Cabinet. This would
not only be a distinct and appropriate rec
ignition of services rendered, but it would
be a gracious and generous thing to do,
and 1t would be good politics. There are
at least two or three positions IN the Cab
met which have little to do with politics
and which need not necessarily be filled
by a person in close political accord on all
questions with the President. The Secre-
tary OF the Navy or the Secretary OF Agri-
culture does not need to be a partisan. The
chief requirements for Attorney-general are
that he be a first-rate lawyer and a true
American. Either of these positions could
be filled by a sound-money Democrat with
out embarrassing the administration in the
slightest degree. Why should it not be
done2
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1896-11-06

The Journal does not regret the failure OF
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS fusion in Texas to
carry that State. On the contrary, 1t re-
grets that any attempt at fusion was made.
There is nothing in common between Re-
publicans and Populists, either in the South
or in the North, and any alliance between
them is unnatural and deinoralizing to the
Republican party. If the fusionists had
succeeded in carrying Texas, as there was
never the remotest possibility of their do
ing, the cleanness of the Republican VIC
tory would have been marred to that ex-
tent and Major Mckinley would have been
embarrassed by the fact that he owed some
Of his electoral votes to Populist support.
No person should wish a Republican Presi-
dent to be under that kind OF obligation.
The Journal does not know how much
money or labor was expended in the effort
TO carry Texas by u Republican-Populist
fusion, but 1t was all thrown away. That
kind of rainbow-chasing is worse than
foolish.
