Switzerland. Yet when the ST. Goth

Two obscure lobbyists have been
indicted at Jefferson City, Mo-, for ply
ing their vocation around the state
house during the meetings of the last
general assembly. The lateness of the
hour and other circumstances combine
to make the indictment of these men
an atsurdity. The responsibility, as
far as 1t can be traced, rests upon
those constituencies which sent repre-
sentatives to Jefferson City to make APP
pointments with lobbyists. Bribery is
an offense of deliberation and the guilt
is divided between him who gives and
him who receives.

UNIVERSITY DIAMOND.
Applicants for Positions on the
Team-The Outlook.

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA. Febru-
airy Especial. 1.-THE spring athletic
season is just about to commence here
now, with the preliminary practice OF
the baseball team. The applicants,
which number at present thirty-four,
with the promise Of several additions
from last seasons CLUB, have been DONG
daily work in the gymnasium every
afternoon since the first OF the montn'
but have now commenced regular out
door work, also. The fear that was ex-
pressed early i'm the winter. lin regard TO
filling the position of pitcher has about
passed Off since 1t is seen that there
are eight applicants for the place. Among
the number are some very good
twirlers, and, with the backing OF such
a team as the present outlook points TO,
there will be no difficulty In the var
sity's equaling, If not surprising, the
majority Of visiting teams with which
they will meet on the diamond here thlS
year. The schedule provides for games
with most Of the leading colleges Of the
country, and the northern trip includes
six games.
The idea Of securing one Of the Ma
tional League teams to practice here
early in the season has been abandoned
by the management, as it is considered
best to arrange minor games, because
the men are too much tempted to watch
the league players and neglect their own
work. Several games with school teams
have been fixed for the latter part or
next month.
Dan. Coogan, the coach Of the Varsity,
will arrive the latter part Of this month,
and remain here until the first contest
with another Varsity team, which Is TO
be on the 9th of March, with the Uni
versity Of North Carolina, on the home
grounds. Captain Bonney, who Is play
ing his second season in the position or
left field, is sure to produce a winning
team, If IT be possible, from among the
list Of applicants, which. however is
composed largely of new men. Although
there are several star players in college,
from among last years team, neverthe-
less, they have so far refused TO come
out on the practice-held; but it is thought
that the influence Of college will soon
cause them to come out as regular as
pirants for team positions.

Hanoyer Herald.)

As our State Capitol was the Capitol
Of the Confederacy we feel that it is
duty which Virginia owes to the South
and to the memory Of the Lost Cause TO
reverently preserve this vital relic Of
the Confederacy. Had the cause tri-
umphed, the Confederacy would have
preserved the building. As the Confede-
racy went down in gloom, upon Virginia
devolves the duty, and she should con-
slider it a privilege and an honor TO care
for the form wherein was encased the
dauntless spirit of constitutional liberty.
