My dear friend, il you will take good
advice, you will not dislocate your
mind. nor disjoint your whole moral
system. by attempting 10 believe more
than one-half Of the lies you hear in
politics. If YOU succeed In believing
one-half. and they all side. you will
be so one-sided as to appear intoxicat-
ed and If you take equally from each
side, you will speedily go cross-eyed,
and nobody can believe you on oath.
Believe nothing!

The Virgnian-Pilot has been CON

pie In this matter, though it has care
fully pointed out the delays and difficult
ties of the proposed reform, including
the amendment of the United States
Constitution, and it has. therefore, been
foremost in suggesting and persistent
In urging the people of every Legislative
district to be careful in selecting and
instructing their candidates for either
branch of Assembly, and above all, in
such instructions, to include their
choice for u. s. Senate, whenever va
cancy was to be filled or about to occur.
AS for Mr.. Martin we have simple re-
garded him as the representative of a
bad system. which in him had made the
first direct attack in Virginia upon our
constitutional system OF choosing Fed
eral Senators by the representatives
OF the people of every State, respective
ly. AS the antipopular candidate he
came upon the stage. as such he has
served in the Senate. and we now re-
gard him as again the anti-popular
nominee and candidate against Govern
or Tyler whom we take to be the NOM
inee and candidate of the people, rep

It's movement. and standing substan-
tally upon the platform which both the
Richmond Times and the Richmond

platform-as 1t is also that Of the peo-

OUR NEXT u. S. SENATOR.

OF Mr.. Martin to the U. S. Senate as
the cause. and the movement in ia

tin and his election to the Senate have
been generally regarded and accepted
not. Oet us frankly say as exemplify-
ing the corrupt practices that have
crept into the election of Federal Sena-
tors in other States. or by other legis-
latures, but as n defeasance of the pop
ular will which the General Assembly
should reflect as truly and loyalty in the
choice OF Senator as in any other
representative duty connded to it.

to the fact that the funeral expenses
of President Garfield have not yet been
paid, in the following editorial:
1t can scarcely be regarded as other
than a national disgrace that the un-
dertaker's bill for the funeral of Presi-
dent Garfield has not been paid. The
expenses of the funeral were assumed
by the nation by a vote of congress
and then the committee in whose hands
the appropriation was placed. began to
haggle over it. The auditing commit
tee took the bills and proceeded to cut
them here and there. as seemed pleas
ing, taking the position that only such
proportion of each bill should be paid
as they saw fit. The undertaker's bill
for $4,000, which was expended almost
entirely. it is said, for carriage hire
and such expenses. was presented, and
the undertaken refused TO accept any
thing less than its full amount
For eighteen years this bill has been
unpaid, and the indecent spectacle of a
great nation refusing to discharge a
debt for the burial expenses of a presi-
dent. is presented Surely this is a
matter which should be attended to
without the usual accompaniment Of
congressional red tape.

Cold weather is conductive to the
spread Of smallpox. Regarding the dis
ease City Physician Peers said this af-
ternoOn:
while the symptoms are not the
same as those laid down in the medical
books, 1 believe the disease should be
classed with smallpox rather than
chickenpox. 1t is likely a mongrel form
of smallpox or else some new disease
that we have not yet classified"

spreading, and that the season makes
