The supreme issue in Virginia is honest

policy for great nation.
The refusal of the Kentucky courts TO
help Goebel steal the Governorship Of that
State has about put him at the end Of his
rope, and we have no doubt he is disguised
with the honest courts that refuse to do
bis bidding.
That Western talk about making John
w. Daniel the Democratic nominee for the
Presidency, is all chaff. 1t is now eettled
that William Jennings Bryan will be the
Democratic leader, and that he will lead it
to certain defeat.
The Congress which meets tomorrow Is
a Republican Congress and the country is
not afraid. The people know that the
financial and business interests Of the
country are safe in the keeping Of the Re-
publicans. This measure of confidence is
a deserved honor to the Grand Old Party.
A Washington correspondent says:
"Most of the Southern Congressman look
for important legislation this winter Of in.
terest to the South" The Republicans in
Congress have done much legislation in the
past of interest and value to the South,
and always in opposition to Southern
Democratic Congressman.
1.-THE war in South Africa will ultimately
result favorably to England, but it will be
at the cost of much of her best blood and
treasure. 1t is also evident that the RoeH

but that each of the parties has under

lature, which meets next week, to reform
the election laws, so as TO give US honest
elections in the State. It seems to us that
policy, if principle is not considered, should
dictate such course. The Goebel show
up in Kentucky ought to show that The
people of Virginia will not continue to
submit to election methods that were
originated in this State and madeinfamoue

In the official report of the casultiea Of

None are reported missing. 1t ia inferred
from this that the remainder of the CON-

that of L. c. Cole & Co., the firm being

J. B. HAvRNs & CO.

Down at the town of Graham proper,
the most active retail merchants are J. b.
Havens & Co. The firm is composed of
Messrs. ]. B. Havens and w. L. Burton,
and they run what is known as the Cash
Racket Store" They started in business
about five years ago in the same house
which they now occupy. Their beginning
was modest one, but it was the founda-
ton of most successful undertaking. By
careful and energetic attention to their
business and by selling at the lowest cash
prices, they have succeeded in building UP
an excellent trade, perhaps the best retail
at Graham. When we visited their store,
on two occasions, we found it we'll supplied
with customers, and all the clerks busy.
CHICAGO HOUSE FURNISHING COMPANY.
One of the most successful mercantile
enterprises at Graham is that of the
Chicago House Furnishing Company,
which is owned and conducted by MIR. s.

MS III, ~helCdu1ty GItOIi Company.
A splendid performance was that of
Mariana" at the Opera House last
night, given by the Boston Lyric Opera
Company, to a house filled to overflow
ing. From a musical standpoint it was
the last performance the Lyrics have
given us during both their engage
ments in this city. The presentation
was one long to be remembered. The
Mariana of Miss Josephine Stanton was
a splendid effort, and her rendering of
Scenes that are Brightest" received a
double encore. Miss Mamie Kingsbury
sang the role Of Lazarith in superb
way, leaving nothing to be desired.
Mr.. George Olmi was the Don Jose. He
also received a big encore after his
singing of In Happy Moments" MIR.
Henry Hallam was the Don Car De
Bazan, and his impersonatiOn of the
role was artistic in every sense of the
word. Mr.. Robert Lett was the King
of Spain and was as he always is, ex-
cellent. Mr.. John Henderson portray
ed the Marquis and he, with Miss Dale,
who played the Marchioness, kept the
audience in constant state of laugh
ter during these scenes. The Angelus
Chorus was splendidly rendered and
also received q double encore. The Bos-
ton Lyric close their engagement with
two performances to-day. At the mat
inee they will present the ever-popular
Fra Diavolo, and will, by request, again
introduce the famous sextette from
Lucia di Lammermoor, and tonight
they will again present the Mascotte
written up to date. The way the Lyrics
do the Mascotte it is the funniest opera
ever given to a Wheeling audience.
The advance sale of seats for both per-
formances is very large, and there is
no doubt the Lyrics Will close their en-
gagement in the blaze of glory which
they are justly entitled to.

There is matter at present agitat-
ing the employees of a certain depart
ment of the tin industry in this vicin-
ity, or, rather, has been the subject
of discussion for some time, but has
never been brought prominently
to the front in public attention. The
talk is more particularly confined to
the operatives connected with the
plants on the Ohio side of the river, al
though the same condition ard similar
complaint is found every place where
the work of tin making is carried on.
In the black plate departments at
these plants mixture of oil and
grease is used to give the metal a
smooth finish, and the former coming
in contact with the hot sheets creates
a smoke which is said to be nauseat-
ing. The most common effect is dir
illness and sickness of the stomach,
followed by vomiting. Many of the
employees cannot stand to pursue the
WOTh Sl6dQlly anu are COmpSll6Q OCCd-
sionally to lay off or quit their jobs
altogether, while others do not expert
ence such pronounced symptoms. The
condition is rather a hard one to
remedy, and it is perhaps for this rea
son that no step to do so has been
taken by the management of the
mills. The employees, however, feel
that some relief is due them, and while
they have not, it appears, formulated
any specific mode Of procedure and
are no. able to make any suggestions
that I--,y prove adequate, they are
convinced that some attempt should be
made having for its object an abate-
ment of the nuisance. In Ohio there
is a State department of inspection to
examine into all matters pertaining to
the health and safety of employees, and
it is intended to communicate with
this official with the view to having
the matter Investigated.
