Hon. John W. Daniel, as was ex.
pected and as all Virginia demanded,
will succeed himself as United States
Senator from Virginia. He was
unanimously renominated by the
democratic legislative caucus on the
third day of the session and has since
shown his appreciation of the honor
conferred upon him by the following
telegram to the General Assembly:
II pray you present my heartfelt
gratitude to my Democratic brethren
of the General Assembly, for the e
newed and signal expression of their
confidence implied by my nomination
to succeed myself in the United
States Senate. That honor gathers
it's greatest charm in the generous
manner in which it has been bestow
ed, and renewing to all who tender
it. and to our beloved Commonwealth
the pledges of my devotion. accept
it with the deepest sense of cbliga-
ton and the highest inspiration to
faithful endeavor."

AccoMAc COURT HOUSE, VA.
SATURDAY, DECEMBER II, 1897.
Entered at the Postoflice at Accomat
G. H., Va, as second.class matter.

The members of our present Lagis-
lature have gotten down to work
earlier this session than usual and
there seems to be no question Of
their purpose to respect the demands
made and pledges given to their
constituents, to do all in their power
to cut down the State expenses, if
the number OF bills introduced by
them looking to that object furnishes
any criterion by which to judge them.
There is indeed no reason to doubt
their Willingness to apply the prun-
ing knife in that respect, but it looks
as if their lahorS might be in vain.
unless their schemes TO that end are
better matured and there is more
concert of actionsamong them. Hasty
legislation is often bad legislation,
ard more is likely to be accomplished
if they proceed with more delibera
ton, instead, of making two much
haste as many of them now seem
to be doing in their zeal for retrench
ment and reform. Among the plans
presented, one is for placing all the
expenses upon the counties, another
is for each county to bear the expense
of prosecuting all misdemeanor cases
and still another is to require al
charges for criminal expenses to be
approved by the Board of Supervis.
ors before they are sent TO the audi
tor for payment The suggestion
which seems TO meet with most ia.
vor is for the cities and towns to beal
all the expenses OF misdemeanol
cases and the commonwealth those
for felonions.

The silver republicans in congress
will not put any brakes upon the pas
sage of tariff bill, but we'll even hope
that it may aid in the restoration Of
prosperity. They will not leave the
goldbugs an "if' with which to explain
why hard times have continued. But
when a new congress is elected next
year, the people will have time to con-
slider the falacy of attempting to re
store prosperity and the advocates of a
return to bimetalism will have an open
field and, three years from now, Presi-
dent Mckinley will have free coinage

/; ry as legal tender currency at the
option of the holder. This is the plan
proposed, boiled down, and the argu-
ments in its favor are that when idle
money is over abundant it will be
exchanged for bonds, and as soon as
the money is again in demand, the
bonds will be exhanged for money. The
interest, of course, stops while the
money is employed and the money may
again be exchanged for bonds when de-
sired. The scheme appears plausible
and would make flexible money system.

Why Is 1t?

"Why was John Sherman selected
for Secretary of State? Because he
can take a different position on all
questions every day"
"Why did Mark Hanna select Lyman
J. Gage for Secretary of the Treasury?
Because Gage is opposed to the St.
Louis platform, which declares for the
present gold standard until Europe
shall otherwise determine, and is in ia
vor Of that gold standard which will ex-
list after all government paper money
is destroyed and all the gold locked up
in the banks of London and New York.
Why do the goldites contend that all
that is necessary to restore confidence
and produce prosperity is good money?
Because they think that the people
ought to be- satisfied if the rich have
good money, whether the masses have
any money or not.
What good does it do the people Of
the United States to have money SO
dear that they cannot buy it with any
thing they can produceG 1t makes
them go without money and prevents
extravaganza and luxury.

themselves "The National Democracy"

The chief argument used in favor of
the anti-gambhng bill by one of the
legislators was that he knew young
sucker who was infatuated with gaming
and that if the measure became law
the aforesaid infatuated wouldn't in
fatuate any more. The unsophisticated
legislative cuss had probably never
heard of the seductive influence of hay
NOW poker or other card games indul-
ged in sub rosa. Nor did he know that
the man who had a passion for gam
bling will find some way of crafty
ing it in spite of any law prohibiting
its iudulgence.-Boise Democrat.

The most pitiful thing in the west is
the destruction of poor animals on the
ranges when the spring billiards come.
They fight them pretty well early in
the season, but when they are shrunk-
en- in flesh, toward spring, and the
nutriment in the food they get is half
destroyed by the winter storms, they
have no strength left to resist the
dreadful cold of the blizzard. We shall
be glad when the last attempt shall be
made to keep stock through the winter
without any provision being made to
feed them in case of long-continued
storms and colds. L. Tribune.

At the time of the great fire in the
Utica mine at Angels, Cal, all the rats
in the mine were killed or driven out.
Lately the superintendent ordered of
his hardware merchant in San Francis
co gross of rats to be sent up. This
has been done and the rats turned loose
in the mine, where they are said to
serve as protection to the miners. In
case of fire, water or gasses the move
ments of the rats warn the miners of
the approach of danger. They also are
useful in clearing up the refuse of the
mines.

Religious Differ ences.

In response to an enquiry The Chi
cago Post says Of the Cretan-Turkish
troubles:
1t would require too much space to
give the details of the Cretan troubles.
They grow out of religious differences.
An Englishman residing in Canea de-
scribes the situation as follows:
The Turkish power is confined to a
few coast towns; the country at large,
in consequence of its mountainous
character and the absence of roads
rules itself. The population is of Greek
origin and Greek in speech. Three
quarters belong to the orthodox Greek
church, while the remaining quarter is
Mohammedan and is usually disting-
uished by the title "Othomanoi." 1 do
not know whether it is due to greater
faith or to the great cohesive power OF
the Mahommedan religion, but of this
am convinced-the Christian popula-
ton is big crowd, the Mahomedans
an organised and effective body. The
Christian population, though outnum-
bering the Othomanoi by three to one,
are practically as sheep among wolves.
Murders grew out of these religious
differences and, as the victims were
Greeks, Greece was naturally aroused.
Turkey, of course, sided with the Mo-
hammedans and failed to give the
Christians the protection Greece de-
manded for them. Therefore Greece
undertook to do it herself.
