ALL I'M KNOWING HOW.

It's Easy 10 Get Rich If You Can Run
such Scheme as This.
It's 10 trick to get rich, declared the
retired capitalist whose experience has
made him something ora cynic. The
whole secret lies in making the plunge
and then showing steel-spring nerve.
I don't mind giving you the true in
wardness of that water cure venture of
mine, for it's too late to go behind the
returns. I was up in that wild country
hunting. The scenery was charming,
the air pure and the region replete with
romantic traditions. One day we came
upon bubbling spring shaded by u
clump OF ta1narack trees, and on tasting
the water I found that it contained a
percentage of iron. The idea of san
itarium popped into my head like
flash and senta sample of the water to
a friend who is chemist, intimating
the scheme 1 had in view. His verdict
was "No special medicinal virtue"
But there was Shrewd young clerk
in his office who wrote me to await his
coming. His main objection to the
spring was that it did not smell loud
enough. "Get up an intense and often
sive odor," he insisted, "and we're all
right" This we brought about by an
artificial sulphur bed and helped out the
delusion by painting all the stones in
the vicinity light brown. Myyouthful
partner raised q beard and donned
plug hat in connection with a long
tailed coat in order to serve as consult
ing physician of the institution. With
a modest little building for starter we
were ready for business.
Printers ink did the rest. We had to
increase our accommodations and our
price. Invalids and those who imeg-
ined themselves invalids focked from
every point of the compass. We'coined
money, and I haven TIA single compunc-
ton Of conscience. for we made great

What is Kentucky After.
Richmond Times.l.

Richmond Times
The Louisville Dispatch, organ of the
free silver party in Kentucky, recently
presented interviews with members Of the
Legislature of that State showing, as it says
an almost unanimous sentiment in favor
of radical changes in the election laws of
Kentucky. And the Dispatch tells us
editorially that several of the gentlemen
interviewed expressed preference for the
Virginia law, "a measure which has oper-
ated with great satisfaction to the people
of Virginia, insuring fair elections and at
the same time protecting the intelligence
and virtue of the State against those who
are ignorant or those who might be cor
rupt."
We do not know just what the Dispatch
end its friends are after. If they are look
ing for an election law under which the
party in power may perpetuate its power,
then the Virginia law is just the thing.
But If they are DESTROYS of law that will
insure honest elections, they will shun the
Virginia law as they would the poisonous
adder.
The idea that the Parker law is masque-
rading abroad as ''insuring fair elections
in Virginia" is the richest political joke of
the season.

About the siliest, most idiotic fool fad
We have seen of late is the "glad hand"
shake INDUCED in by the ultra faddists.
1t consists in both parties elevating the
forearm to the level of the shoulder, max
ing an angle of ninety degrees of the
elbow, and then with the hand dropping
at the wrist, a la kangaroo, to press the
tips of each others fingers. This piece of
idiocy had its run in the North two years
ago, and we are sorry to see it being re-
vived on the streets of Roanoke. The
imbecile grin that always accompanies
such hand shaking is not needed, to fix

The Economy of Lynohiua.


Our ''practical statesmen" are usually
very keen sighted, but not SO always.
Looking at the enormous aggregate of our
terminal expenditures" mot Expenses, "
mind you), they observe at a glance that
something Is wrong somewhere, to fasten
so great a charge upon us annually on
such an account. But they cannot see Tor
will not) that this oppressive burden is not
all expenses, made necessary by criminals,
in the judicial definition of the word, but
is very largely nothing more than unneces-
sary expenditures, arising from official
greed, and allowed by official carelessness
and neglect in certifying public accounts
for payment.
Economy! economy economy, is
the chorus of these practical statesmen.
Let the official rogues steal on; but that
they may do so, let us save expenses" by
re-erecting the whipping-post, to more
cruelty punish and degrade the common
and unofficial thieves, who at least have
the excuse of necessity for their breaches
of lawn many cases, at any rate. I'm
der the cabalastic formula of Economy,
retrenchment and REFORM" the most saw
age barbarism is transformed into most
advanced civilization. ''No step back
ward!" is the idiocy of sentimentalism,
an> to put this motto of progress in its
origiI..a form of "nulla vestigia retersum
is but cry from the tombs. sit will
pay!' answers all things; justiies all
things, and is the last word of all argu-
ment-the ultima ratio of the XIX century.
WE'LL then, if that be so, why do not
these practical statesmen, these anti
sentimentalists,-why do they not turn
all our criminal jurisdiction and admins
tration over to the hands of Judge Lynch ?
In that way retrenchment and reform
will at once go to the root Of all our diff
cultics so economy and dispatch will go
hand in hand together and all expenses
and expenditures now incurred under our
ordinary judicial process will be saved.
Who can object, save the sentimental
cranks? What objections can arise, save
such as are founded in pulling sentimen-
talism?
If economy is to settle our financial
difficulties, of course we must close all
courts, except that of Judge Lynch, and
put all other judges to grass.

DECLARING WAR,

The power to declare war is vested In

acts and resolutions. it must be approved
by the president before 1t can take e.

,wo-,hinis ot both houses. says the
Times-Herald. II will thus be seen that a
president with more than one-third Of
either the senate or house TO support

the event of war between Spain and
the United States. There is no doubt
whatever that we have England's sym
pathy and moral support, but how would
France, Germany Austria and Russia
deal with the situation? Reports and
comments in quasi-ofiicial organs are
conflicting. One day the opinion prevails
that strict neutrality would be observed
that the justice and good faith Of the
United states would be cheerfully recog-
nized AID that Spain would be left to the
consequences of her own conduct. An
other day brings the news that diplo-
