Virginia Fooiery.

The Virginia State (so-callcd
and miscaIled) Democratic con
vention adjourned yesterday, leay-
ing the following currency plank
in their platform TO make sensible
men laugh:
We declare ourselves unaltera-
bly, opposed to the British system
of monometalism, which has ag
grandizea that empire at the eX
pense of the nations producing
food supplies and raw materials,
and its adoption has only aggra.

London. 1t is not only I'M Amen,
can, it is anti American, aud it can
only be fastened upon the Cuited
States by the sitting Of that spirit
of love of liberty which proclaimed
our political independence iii luG
aud caused the war Of the Revo!u
ton. We demand tho free and
unlimited coinage of both gold and
silver at the ratio Of is to !, with
out waiting for the aid or consent
of any nail III.
The objection Of the Bryanltes
Of Virginia to the gold standard
appears to consist wholly in the
fact that England maintains that
standard and that it has aggran-
died that great Empire and given
it the commercial supremacy Of the
world. Now, to man of ordinary
common sense, that this or any
other system had done all this fol-
England or for any other nations,
would be a most excellent reason.

nick G. O'Malley, President of The
City Item Publishing Company
and the presiding genius and con
trolling spirit of that paper, was
shot in the shoulder and danger
ously wounded by ex, Recorder e
S. Whitaker last Saturday after
noon. The shooting occurred iii
Commercial Alley, near the corner
Of Camp, street. AS usual, TIKI
principals differ as to who was t!,e
aggressor in the attempted homi
eide. O'Malley says that Whitta
ker advanced upon him and fired
without any demonstration on bis
part, whereas Whitaker says that
O'MaIley struck him with his cane
before he fired. The shooting
appears to have originated from,

A PITNIAN MEMORIAL.

A movement is on foot to collect
funds wherewith to erect IA memo
rial to the late Sir Isaac Pitman,
founder Of the Pittman phono-
graph. The people of Great Brit
am are engaged in doing a similar
work of piety on their side of the
Atlantic; but the fact that Pitman
was a Britisher and that his coun.
trymen are going to honor him
can hardly be alleged a reason
why we on this side of the Allan
tic, who have derived equal profit
from his world embracing inven-
ton, should not also show our
gratitude to the author of the pho.
nographic system. Indeed, the
fact that he is held worthy of a
memorial in his native country
should be an additional incentive
to us here to perpetuate his mem,
DRY, since, although Foreigners in
Il sense, We have entered into and
possessed ourselves Of the fruits
of his genius.
The character of the memorial
has not yet been decided upon, and
will Of course, largely depend up
on the amount of money collected
for the purpose. Contributions OF

WHY Is IT?-lf the price of sill,

We have claimed all the time, TO
the immutable and incxorable law
of supply and demand. The de-
mand for silver Is but limited,
hence the price of silver bullion

with the demand for it. W heat.

Senator had been in i'll health for

Committee shouId be called to,

own present impression Is that
October 9Th, 1897, would be abof't
the right time.
The election is to be held in Jan
uary, and | suppose that the State
nominating convention should be
held about sixty days ahead OF the
election, or say in November, and
| further think that The meeting "l
the State Central Committee
should be some time in advance OF
the convention. On the other
hand, | do not think that it would
be wise to start the campaign toe
early, and all things considered
have fixed upon the date III cues

Central Committee as one which

The controversy between Col.
w. l.. Stevens and cx. Major Z. L..
Munro, OF the State National
Guard, is getting to be quite mo-
notonouS, if hot actually nausea
ting. It appears to have originated
in counter charges seeking to hold
each other reponSible for unpai
bills incurred daring the encamp-
ment at Lake Charles last year.
While Col. Stevens is in high fl,
vur with the administration, Mr..
Munro has been su!nmariy de-
prived of his epanletles, although
it is tloubtcd in military circles il
any such power resides in the ex-
ecutive as commander in chief.
From a cursory rernSal' OF the
correspondence between them, We
are lead To believe that "one o
them is as deep in the mud dis tilt
other is in the mire."
