burgh officials have learned from their eight
years of investigation and their expenditure
of a large sum of money. 1t has been shown
that the difference in the character of the
refuse Of cities will make a great difference
in the methods of burning it and in the cost
of such work. which is the important lesson
for American cities.

ven Sums uip the rltuatIon in an artIcle

wen sums up the situation IN an article
in Aprore. when he says:
M. Zola's condemnation has no longer
raison d'etre, seeing it was inflicted upon
the evidence of forged documents. The
acquittal OF Major Esterhazy signifies no
thing, seeing II was n forger who pre-
vented the judges from recognizing the
authenticity OF ono OF the principal papers
produced. Colonel Picquart, who has been
dismissed from tho army upon tho evil
dence of forger. ought to be rein
stated I'm his rank. . AS for the
Dreyfus case, II IS very simple. He was
convicted upon bordereau which was
written by Commandant EsterhaZy.
Revision is. therefore, obligatory,
and the judgment must be public"
There would seem no question that re-
vision is necessary. And the friends OF
the French republic cannot but hope that
the revision will be thorough. and Its ef-
fects far reaching. They cannot but hope
that the revision will be such as that IL
will not only make all possible amends
to all individuals connected with the case
in its various phases. who have suffered
unjustly. but lead TO reform in the whole
French method OF judicial procedure.
Those who followed the prosecution Of
Iola will recognize that II this latter
result shall be attained. both Dreyfus
and Zoa will have suffered in good
cause, and for the benefit OF France.

THE OLD MAN CHUCKLED.
Gen. Walkers Speech mt C1intwood
TickIed Hfm-RepubIicnnV Views.

| DWALE, DICKINSON COUNTY, VA,
September Especial )-General James A.
Walker, the Republican candidate for Con-
| gress against w. b. Rhen, from the
Ninth District delivered a speech at
| Clintwood last Thursday. Ehe audience
was not large-perhaps numbering $50 per-
sons all told. Some Democrats were on
hand. All were attentive to the speakers
| remarks, but the enthusiasm was only
normal. except that Of an old gentleman
in the crowd, who was particularly no
| ticeable.
The General said that good prices now
prevail generally, especially in the case
Of sheep and calves, and he attributed
these prices 10 what he was pleased to
term the wise and judcious legislation Of
the Republican party. lie closed this
topic with the remark that the Democrats
ought to be ashamed 10 look into the face
Of a sheep. This must have been the fun
niest thing the old gentleman ever heard
in all his life. for ne laughed as he had
never been known TO laugh before. and he
is right much Of a laugher, too. This ex-
preston OF the Generals was getting
pretty nearly on an intellectual level with
our old gentleman, and he saw the solu-
ton of the political problem more clearly
than he had ever seen it before He is
probably laughing yet.
ABUSED THE PENSION SYSTEM.
The speaker endorsed the Mckinley adj
miuistration I'm toto, and said that there
are many reforms TO be insugurated yet
He stated that tho pension system is one
Of the greatest frauds practiced upon the
American people; that millions Of dollars
are being paid out annually TO those who
are i'm no way entitled TO It under the law
He said that Judge Rhea's promises Of
Intervention in this matter could not be
compiled with in case Of his election; that
he could no more prevent the carrying
out of these fraudulent features of the
pension system than he could dam the
Niagara Fails with rye straw He seem
ed to view the matter as a hopeless affair.
CRITICISED THE ELECTION LAW.
The General severely censured the wal
ton election law, and said that II was de-
signed as a means Of carrying out those
Of fraud practiced by the Demo- |
Gratis, as he charged, in many precincts |
the State. But when the aver
age man, upon reflection, recalls the fact |
that this law became operative during /
Walkers first campaign, he will see that |
the General places himself I'm an awkward |
attitude, as the district was largely Dem |
ooratic prior TO the election Of 1884, II !
looks as If the Republican nominee OF all |
men ought 20 favor IL.
There Is an abiding faith in the Demo
cratic household Of the old Ninth, and /
hope that a good report win go out from
here on the 18th day OF November.

FARMNILLE.
The Case of Price, the Murderer
Republican Row.

Republican Row,
FARMVJLLE, VA, September 2--CSpe-
cial.)-The Circuit Court for Prince Ed
ward has now been in session for two
days, and as yet the case of Thomas W.
Price, convicted Of murder in the first de-
gree, has not been laid before the court.
This case was appealed from the last
term of the County Court, and it was eX-
pected that the writs Of error that had
been prepared would be taken up at the
beginning Of this terIe Of the Circuit
Court. 1t is learned, However. that no
thing will be done at the present, but
that the evidence will be submitted either
in vacation or to a court Of another cir
cult later on. In the mean time the In
terval between now and the day set Tor
the execution OF Price is exceedingly
short, the day being Monday October
10th. Price. who has been closely con-
fined in cell since the day OF the killing
of Hall Carter, July 18th, stands the i'm
prisonment very well, considering his ex-
tTeme age.
A Republican mass-meeting held here
last night broke up in a big row, during
which there was almost a general fight,
and this morning the police had num-
Der Of the leading spirits before the
Mayors Court, charged with disorderly
conduct. The object of the meeting was
to elect delegates to the county conven-
ton to be held here tomorrow Tor the
purpose of selecting representatives TO
the congressional convention at Chase
City and TO name a county chairman.
There were four factions. each having
candidate for the county chairmanship,
and of course, each faction wanted one
Of its members for chairman OF the meet
ing last night. Four different persons
were nominated for chairman, and all the
nominees jumped upon the rostrum, each
election before any vote had
been taken. This precpitated the row.
that was only queled by the police run
ming in. To-day the party attempted TO
hold another meeting, during which the
police were again called for ana were
forced to eject one of the factions from
the building. Both sides then proceeded !

A "nOVING DAY.

A very considerable number OF the fami-
lies of Richmond own the houses in which
they dwell, while the rest, through choice
or necessity, are renters.
One Of the advantages that renter has
over an owner is that he feels free to
change his place of residence whenever
he finds that a different neighborhood or
a different house would suit him better
than the one he is in. There are some
tenants who find pleasure In frequent
changes-they are always on the co.
there are others who are rooted to the
soil, as it were. But we think that
tenants and landlords generally are all
more or less sufferers by reason of the
fact that custom here has not fixed a
moving day in Richmond
1t often happens that a tenant who
wishes 10 make a change has to pay rent
for the old house after he has transferred
his family and effects to another one. 1t
frequently occurs, too, that the landlord
misses the opportunity of securing a good
tenant because he cannot give possession
of his house when 1t is in demand.
Such experiences have led other cities
to adopt moving day." and this has
caused scores of cognate business mat
ters TO be adjusted and directed to the
same end. In some localities this day IS
May LIST; in other localities il is October
1st The latter date would suit Rich
mond better than the former. The cool
bracing, energizing weather Of October is
better suited to the work and worry OF
moving than the uncertain weather of
May. With October LIST fixed upon for the
purpose mentioned many families could
make their summer arrangements fit I'm
with such purposes as they might have ir
view with respect TO taking new resi-
dences.
Our information is that the practice of
having a moving day has worked well I'm
other cities, and 1t seems to us that it is
adapted 10 our city's needs.
Of course. we could not expect the custom
to come into vogue insantaneously. 1t
would have 10 grow upon the people A."
and would have to be subject to existing |
conditions. Our real estate agents might |
lowever. do a vast deal towards inaugu- |
'ating the custom. Let them agree upon |
1 date and set TO work 10 persuade land |
ords and tenants TO conform TO IL in |
making leases Thus. In the course of a |
lew years the practice would become
