BARNEs AND BrcnIN1N.

hhAnho NNR fff'aaFA+fra-'s
When it comes to politics Governor
Barnes is a partisan, but nobody ac-
auainted with him and the mongrels
who are running the mid road farce
would have thought for moment
that he would order the name Of w.
w. Buchanan placed on the election
board rs a representative Of the free
silver advocates OF the territory. Bu-
chanan represents nothing except all
that is low, vile and dirty in politics
lie represents the Republican commit
tee and is in the pay Of the Republican
party. He has been bought for spe-
cifc purpose for a specific price. What
business has such a man on any board
where honesty should be the principal
characteristic
This paper would like TO believe
that Governor Barnes is honest, and
for the coed name Of this grand and
beautiful country would like TO have
the people think we'll of him but we
cannot do so, ard the people will not
as long as he associates with Or in any
manner recognizes the wolves who
compose this aggregation Of political
night providers. BY this act Governor
Barnes has placed himself entirely
beyond the respec 'ul regard Of the
lovers OF honesty and justice. He
has contributed to the most vicious
and disreputable element that now
threatens the material progress and
happiness Of the people by an act
that threatens the sacredness Of the
ballot box. To deprive a man Of his
vote through some trick or scheme is
about as dishonest and cowardly an
act as an Official can be guilty
Of and II we are not the most mistaken
man in Oklahoma the sole purpose and
and aim Of the recognition OF this riff
raff, this fotsam and ietsam OF the
politics Of the territory mean an at
tempt to thwart the will Of the peo.
pls II is the expediency Of desperate
men and the methods Of unprincipled
and dangerous rogues.
But it will not work. The people
are becoming thoroughly aroused at
the threatening danger and win give

MIR. PATTEsON is DISCHARGED.
Squire Graves Decides He Was Justi-
fed in Shooting Jones-Other Cases.

Mr.. ]. l.. Patteson, who shot and killed
John Edward Jones. a colored youth,
whom he caught in the act of stealing
from his premises early Monday morning,
appeared in the Police Court yesterday
morning, and after the testimony had
been heard was honorably discharged
by Squire Lonnie Graves.
Mr.. Patteson had already been ex-
onerated from all blame by the Coroner s
jury, which pronounced the killing justi-
fable homicide. The hearing in the Police
Court really lasted little longer than it
took to hear the evidence, which was that
Mr.. Patteson had seen Jones take the
bundle and start out of his yard, and
shot only after the negro failed TO stop
when the owner Of the. premises bade
him. Mr.. II. NJ. Smith, Jr., appeared as
counsel for Mr.. Patteson. Common
wealth's-Attorney Richardson was also
present.
Squire Graves had also great num-
Der of other offenders before him.
John Smith-not the original John-was
up for beating Georgiana Mayo. but the
final hearing was continued until this
morning
Willie Ross was the offender who used
a brick on Joseph Price, and was taxed
$40 and costs.
George Hunt (colored) struck Walter
Henderson with a stone, and was put
under bond of 500 for thirty days.
The remaining cases were DRINKS and
unimportant ones.

THE WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
The General Conditions Are Good-
Damage by Rain.

The following Is the Weekly Crop Bull
letin, issued by the Virginia section OF the
United States Weather Bureaus:
Tuesday. August 10. 1898.
Showery weather prevailed over the ma
| Jor portion of the State during the past
week. causing a cessation OF farm work
| in many localities. and doing some dam
| age to wheat and oats In stack and shock.
Threshing Of wheat continues. where pos
sible, with poor results, except over small
areas where fair yields are reported. Fall
! following was impeded and In some
places suspended by the rains Vegeta-
| tion made very good growth, however. In
| the extreme eastern counties, and on the
| Eastern Shore. where droughty conditions
| have prevailed 10 some extent, the rains
were very beneficial. and have revived
crops very much. Heavy, washing rains
| occurred at number OF points in the
Great Valley sections. damaging lowland
corn, and causing rising water In all the
streams.
No damage from freshets is reported,
however. Pastures are In generally ex-
cellent condition, and early seeded tur-
nips are coming UP nicely.
Corn has generally made excellent pro-
gress during the week. In some localities
where rain has been lacking showers
have occurred, and the outlook has i'm
proved. In some OF the Valley counties
damage has been done to lowland corn
by excessive rains. but, on the whole, the
reports covering this crop indicate a very
fine promise for a large yield No dam
age from insects is reported. Sunshine
would, perhaps, be beneficial in some To-
calities.
Tobacco is maintaining its previous
high standard of growth and condition.
First reports of cutting come from Buck
ingham and Cumberland counties. and
the crop is said to be very good. Flea
bugs have appeared in portions of Motto
way county, and are doing some damage
but aside from this, no injury of any
kind is reported. The crop is very prom
ising
Pastures are doing finely in all sec
tons.
Gardens have suffered to some extent
from heavy rains here and there; other
wise they are doing well.
Sweet potatoes are making very good
growth in most counties. The crop pros
pect has been improved in the Eastern !
Shore District by late rains, and shipping |
to market continues.
Hay has suffered some damage from |
rain in the Great Valley, but a generally |
fine crop has been secured.

Good Bill Drawing Fine Crowds.

There is no reason that the bill at the
Broad-Street Park this week should be
anything other than an immense success.
as every turn is a novelty and every
artist star, three of them having been
drawn from the ranks OF the legitimate
stage.
Miss Celie Ellis is a picture Of beauty
and grace, as she sweetly sings her baby
song, and her metamorphosis into the
character of a dashing captain, singing
national airs, is a most delightful and
artistic bit Of acting. Mr.. and Mrs. Au-
gustin Melville have made a comedy
triumph in their travesty upon THE Lady
OF Lyons"
Gibbons and Barrett have red-hot talk
act that sizzles with spanking fun and
catchy music, and Val Vino does not fail
to create breathless excitement as he
dexterously balances many breakable ar
ticles in midair. Hussey and Weber have
an entertaining musical act that intro
duces some clever playing upon peculiar
instruments, and Bessie Searles is sing
ing with success a number of coon songs
OF the latest vintage.
