Instead of manifesting feelings of
gratitude to the people of this coun-
try for consenting to be taxed so
heavily for the support of war PEN
sioners, the G.. A. r. is firing of COM
plants at Pension Commissioner
Evans for not enrolling more rapidly
those who are claiming the govern
ment's bounty. 1t is hard to satisfy
the selfishness of the G. A. II. organ
ization. If Congress were on the eve
of passing the law now in force, and
the G.. A. r. members were Informed
that the bill proposed to give them
iu ten years one billion four hundred
and fifty million dollars-the annual
payment is $145, 600, 000-they would
have opened their eyes in amazement
and exclaimed that the people could
not stand such burthen of taxation
in addition to the other expenses of
government. Yet with an annual ex-
penditure that will foot up such an
enormous sum in ten years, the G. A.
X. Is ssssiling Commissioner Evans
because it's members are not receiving
more liberal treatment at his hands.
He throws some light on the man
agement of his Office in a letter he
has written Senator Haywood, of
Neb., when he states that of the 74I
employees of his bureau 566 are ex-
Union soldiers and of these ASP ARE
DRAWING PENSIONS. Holding an of
fee and receiving salary from the
government ought to carry with it a
waiver of pension allowance. At
least that ought to be the laws pur-
pose.
Commissioner Evans doubtless hit
the nail on the head when he decIar-
ed that the foundation of the terrific
howl against his action will be found
in his refusal to allow the claim
agents to run the bureau. He has,
he says, taken action that the claim
attorneys do not like and they have
organized systematic attack upon
him. The unpatriotic and selfish
claim agents are responsible in large
measure for the burdensome pension
law now In force. They advised the
soldier voters to make this demand
OF their representatives, and the lat
ter lacked the moral courage to say
they were asking too much of their
government.

1t seems to be habit with North
ern people to lecture the people of
the South because they do not hest
tate to resort to lynohing for a GER
tain crime, but even up in staid old
Connecticut, where the blacks are
few compared in numbers with the
whites, the white people of Stratford
Centre were out on Saturday evening
and Sunday hunting for negro who
had committed an assault on Mrs.
Roberts, declaring that if they suo-
coed in catching him they will lynch
him. The brute attacked the woman
In daylight when she was alone, and
and as no lynching had heretofore
taken place in that State for said
crime, it cannot be suggested with
any force OF reason that a spirit of
revenge prompted this fiend's vile
deed. Brutal lust is at the bottom
OF such Grimes. Every community
has its good and peaceable citizens
belonging to the colored race, and the
behavior of those still living who
were manumitted by the results of
the war has been such as to keep up
spirit of kindly feeling and interest
between the two races. 1t is the evil
doors, whether they be white or black,
that public sentiment is aroused
against, and oolored people will lift
themselves to q higher plane when
they take stand for Furnishing those
of their race who commit crimes.

Col. John Bell Bigger, the veteran
clerk of the House of Delegates and
keeper of the rolls, died in Richmond
on Wednesday afternoon last, in the
7lst year of his age. He had spent
about 40 years of his life in the SER
vice of his State, and was one of the
NEST competent clerks that ever serv-
ed legislative body. He possessed
a great deal of tact, and knew how
and when to bring calm to the surface
of misunderstanding political &C.
ton. His well known figure will be
missed by old members who may be
returned to legislative halls.

The slaughter of Filipinos still
continues, and those who delight in
hunting down men are doubtless get
ting their fill of it. Gen. Lawton
undertook at the CLOSE of last week to
"bag" lot of the islanders in Las
Pinas, about 8 miles from Manila.
but as usual the Filipinos were too
active to be caught. The enemy are
reported to have had so killed and
$50 wounded. Our loss was 4 killed
and 30 wounded. Our officers and
men are succumbing to the heat pre-
vailing there.

As was generally expected, the
State democratic executive committee
declined to order either primary
election or the assembling of State
convention to nominate . candidate
for u. s. Senator. The committee
was kind enough, in the resolution il
adopted by vote of 81 to IL, to tell
Us that it is satisfied "that there is
not such . general demand FROM the
body of the democratic voters of the
State for this departure from the es-
tablished usage of the party as in any
event to justify it in making a change
so radical as the one proposed" This
may sound all right to people with
out memory, but others know that
an initiative step of this kind was not
deemed too radical" by the Roanoke
convention several years ago. Besides
the committee knew the Virginia
members of the House of Representa-
tives a few years ago voted unani-
mously in favor Of choosing senator's
by vote of the people, and we never
heard word of disapproval for this
vote. 1t is because our senators have
wholly ignored this sentiment that
many democrats have awakened to a
demand for some other remedy. And
they'll get it. We have heard men
say, who at first felt little interest in
the movement, that power has been
getting too far away from the people
and that it was time to bring it back.
We were not much in favor of a
convention, because the delegates
chosen In mass meeting are gener-
ally named by two or three men, who
take charge of the proceedings in a
''cut and dried" fashion and put
through the list it was their pleasure
to select before the masses have had
time to consider what they were do
ing. Again, when the contest be-
tween rival sets of delegates wakes
warm, many of our best citizens will
not attend because of their aversion
to running up against broil. But
the urinary has not thoca oh,aok;o,,-
The voter has the opportunity to re-
feet upon what he is about to do, and
to discuss with his neighbors the is
sue to be determined. He can leave
his home to vote with his mind made
up as to who he prefers, and If he is a
man ofstrong character he can inform
any one who may be disposed to
proffer him advice that he does not
want it.

J. Jeffries, the new champion fighter,
appeared at the Academy of Music
here tonight before a packed house, a
notable feature being the large num-
Der of women present. Jeffries boxed
three rounds with his sparring part

a. Brady, Jeffries's manager read
from the stage a challenge to fight Tom
Sharkey about September 18th for the
largest purse offered by any club and
a $4,000 side bet. He stipulated that
The entire purse go to the winner and
that no side agreement or secret ar
engagements be considered, and that
the Sailor must agree TO George Siler
as referee. The contest, he asserted,
must take place in an eighteen foot
ring. Mr.. Brady was very caustic and
called Sharkey "blowhard," accusing
him Of having robbed Fitzsimmons of

localities where the fish are fierce bit
ers and not nibblers, like some of their
brothers. The fish brushes through the
feathers and holds the hook.
The best flies are all made with the
wings reyersed-that is, where the
feathers are tied on the hooks they are
laid along it, with the tips toward the
smell. Then they are Dent back and
fastened over the feathers again. The
fluttering fly is sometimes mistaken for
the reversed winged one. The nutterer
has its head at the bend of the hook
and its tail along the snood.
An absolutely new thing this season
in an ingenious spinner made Of alumni
mum and constructed on entirely novel
principles. The old spinner is like the
bowl of a shallow spoon. The new one
is shaped like four-cOrnered cigar
with the ends cut eff, so that it is about
two inches long. Each edge has half
inch wing and tandem or treble hook
on the smell. 1t is claimed for it that
it can be trolled very slowly and stay
on the surface of the water. whereas
with a properly adjusted sinker II can
be lowered to any depth required. For
bait casting with minnow it is said to
be very successful II is made SO that
treble hooks, smell hooks or flies may
be instantly interchanged.
A new Improvement is the water

they are fastened. The gut is variously
treated to make it invisible in the wa
