WHITE OFFICERS REsIGN.-Captains
s. T. Moore and George II. Bentley, OF
the Sixth Virginia regiment (colored)
at Knoxville, have sent their resigna-
tons to Gov. Tyler. These officers
were lieutenants in the Second regi-
ment before their promotion.
Capt. Moore comes from Wytheville
and Capt. Bentley from Roanoke.
They are the only officers of the Sixth
appointed from the Second, all the
others having been taken from the
Third. The captains state that their
reasons for resigning that it is very IN
pleasant for them where they now are.
Governor Tyler will accept the resigna-
lions.
1t is understood that several more, if
not all, the white officers appointed 10
the Sixth Virginia will offer their resig-
nations in short while. It seems that
they have not found things so lovely at
Camp Poland as they expected. Lieu
tenant-Colonel Croxton has recon-
mended negro officer for appoint
ment to the vacant captaincy in his
command. However, Governor Tyler
will not make an appointment now, if
at all.

An Elephant at Large.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 16.-Rsjab
the big bull elephant of Lemon Bros
circus, which is in winter quarters at
Argentine, broke his chains and &c.
capped from his keepers yesterday and
is still on the rampage. When he first
escaped ne made for the animal cages,
smashing cage holding two wolves
and then one holding two lions, setting
the animals at liberty. He then made
his way into the open and has been
running the town ever since, despite
the effort of half q hundred circus EN-
ployes to capture him. The wolves
and lions were soop recaptured, but it
may be necessary to kill Raiah to pro.
tect the lives of the citizens. The en-
ragged animal has destroyed over 81 900
worth of property. Some time during
last night he broke of one of his tusks,
presumably in smashing in freight cars
or butting down trees. feats which
seem to amuse him.

CONGRESSMAN WALKER of Virginia,
who until the democrats, who knew
him, turned him down, was one of the
most proscriptive members of the dem
ocratic party, as proved by his letter to
the Philadelphia Times, now, like the
Tolberts, of South Caroline, has hied
him to Washington and poured into
the ears of republicans in that city a
tale of alleged frauds and outrages TO
which, he says, ne has been sub
jected by the democrats, and by
means of which the certificate to
the seat in Congress he now fills
has been given to his success
full democratic opponent. But the
whole tale is discredited by his own
statement to the effect that it will be
useless for him to appeal to the courts,
federal or State, in his district for re-
dress. Aud we'll may he say SO, for,
being man OF ordinary Intelligence, he
well knows that those courts are COM
posed of reliable, reputable and intelli
gent men, and therefore will not credit
the self-iuterested statements of po-
litical spostate, especially as they are
aware that his election was opposed by
some of the most respected and influen
isl republicans in his own district.

probability, parties will be aligned upon
the old issues of 1895. These issues
the republicans would gladly escape if
they could. Meantime they have not
few grave and troublesome questions
to meet. The Wall Street banks are
clamorous to have given them the sole
prerogative of issuing all the paper
money of the country. They demand
the suppression of the greenbacks. In
this issue the democrats are nearly 8
unit in opposition. The administration
aud large number of the republicans,
aided by some OF the gold democrats,
are committed to this audacious scheme
of monopoly, imitation and corruption.
Many of the Western republicans
know that to support it will mean
their solitical death. 1t is more than
likely that this will be g very promi-
nent issue in the grand battle of 1900.
For that battle the democrats will be
ready. They will have nothing to
take back, but will reaffrm the Cbica'
90 platform and denounce the Wall
Street scheme ia the words and spirit
OF Jefferson and Jackson.
