ONE MORE ROBBERY.
kOch's Hardware Store Was Broken
Into Wednesday Night and Some

Goods Carried AWAY.
When Matt Goesche, the head clerk
in Koch's hardware store, went into the
store Thursday and walked through
he discovered that burglars had made
raid during the night, the south door
and the door leading into the hallway
on the north side, both standing wide
open. Entrance WAS gained in the
hardware store through the south door
on Second street. Several holes we're
bored in the panel in the lower part of
the door and enough WAS broken out of
1t to permit q man to crawl through
into the store. The burglars carried
away two guns, rifle and shot gun,
which were standing in the window,
two revolvers and some pocket knives.
On the north side OF the room is Ham,
mer's drug store, and for him they car
ried away between 200 and 300 cigars.
While the officers were notified of the
robbery no trace could be secured, but
it is strongly suspicioned that the work
was done by parties who have been
hanging around town for the past week.
Later in the night an attempt was
made, evidently by the same parties, to
break into James Fogarty's saloon. A
hole was bored In the rear door when
the burglars were frightened away.
Nice Dondelinger, who sleeps in his
shoe store adjoining, heard the noise
and got up to make an investigation
and the men made their escape. Sew
eral successful attempts have been
made to break into the same saloon
just recently.

THE PARTY DECIDES ON MEN
AND MEASURES.

Newspapers have some rights, even
in party politics. and THE VIRGIN
IAN-PILOT darcs maintain these
rights as its duty TO the press and the
public. as we'll as to party. AS to United
States Senators. for instance: while It
is heartily in favor of restoring the
popular control of the choice of these,
IL is bound to no particular mode of
doing this until the party. by it's ma
jority, and in the prescribed way, shall
declare the mode to be pursued Then
THE VIRGINIAN- PILOT recognizes
that mode alone as it's sense of obli-
CATION requires il to do. So, the mode
OF nomination being settled by compe-
tent authority. there is no party choice
or nomination until the candidate is
named in the manner provided; and,
meanwhile. THE VIRGINIAN- PII. OF
holds and exercises the right. common
to every Democratic journal and voter.
TO favor. or TO oppose any man CHS
fidelity to true Democracy being I'M
questioneD for TIE position, whether IL
be seat lin the L. S. Senate. or any
other office,-as thus only can a free
and fair choice be made. But when the
party speaks and through It's proper
agents says: This is the man-the
choice Of the Democratic party" and
from that moment he is the choice. and
the unanimous choice of the party.
whether so formally moved and voted
or not, and shall be so regarded by this
paper.
We desire that the position of THE
VIRGINIAN-PILOT in this, and other
such matters. should be most distinctly
stated and most clearly understood.
From the moment the party decides. ac-
cording to party regulations, upon men
and measures, they become binding on
the whole party. persons and papers.
but not before; no. not before. Until
such authoritative decision is reached.
we and all are free to discuss, or pro-
pose. oppose. or favor, any man or
measure; but the party decision once
made, all must equally accept il. as all
have had equal opportunity to form
