AIGER,s SENATORIAL AIMS.

No matter what the country may think
Of the Secretary of War, without a doubt
he has an exalted opinion of himself
In his Judgment. he ought TO be sent
to the United States Senate to succeed
Mr.. Mcmillan, and TO further his ambi-
ton he has made an alliance with the
renowned Governor Pingree.
That Pingree can bring Alger conside-
rable support seems agreed by most of
the newspapers; yet Alser has chosen
strange political bed fellow, for the Gov
ernor is not an administration man!
What Mckinley will think about the
arrangement we may well imagine; still
he may be willing to get rid of Alger
upon any terms.
1t is given out that Alger IS opposed TO
trusts and in favor Of the election OF
senators by the people.
A Roanoke correspondent Of the Fred
ericksburg Free Lance writes to that pa
per that some weeks ago he purchased
OF a dealer in secondhand books the poeti-
cal works Of Sir Walter Scott. in seven
volumes, and was somewhat surprised 70
find the name of the publisher. or printer,
on. the title page as follows:
fredericksburg, Va,
az. D. Withers,
1884"
The writer then asks the Free Lance to
get some one to give him "such informa-
ton. briefly, in connection with this pub
Usher or the publication Of this set OF
books, as he may have at his command.
The Free Lance states that it has, but
without avail. made much private inquiry
with the view of furnishing the informa-
ton its correspondent desires, and re-
quests any OF its readers, who may be
all do so, 20 supply the information.
Tho Dispatch yesterday called the article
in The Free Lance to the attention of
friend who IS an authority on Virginia
imprints, and from him received the fol-
lowing notes, which may throw some
light OF the matter:
1T is not at all probable that the edi-
ton Of SCOTS Poetic Works, in seven
volumes. duodecimo, bearing the imprint
Fredericksburg, va, Il. d. Withers, 1924,
was either printed or published, In the
modern sense, in Fredericksburg. 1t was,
as is well known, the practice Tor the
printer undertaking the production OF
book TO furnish 10 booksellers IN the va
rious towns throughout the country who
would purchase a specified number OF
copies, such copies with the imprint OF
the merchant Withers was probably
merchant i'll Fredericksburg, and the local
town records, land titles, tax lists, etc,
will doubtless give information concern

says;

we're not able to raise hand or foot

"Despite all this, however, the

"Now, sir, how are you going to
feed usi" That was the question
asked this morning by hungry re-
porter of Manager Waller of the
Metropolitan Meat Company. Wal
Ter looked tired and remarked that
the intervie wing business was be-
coming tiresome. He frightened up
when told that we were after inform
alton and not after beef, and said
that il people would stop being
carnivarous in too high degree, he
would give them all the meat needed
and endeavor not to raise the price
to any conside rsble extext. We don't
want to discuss whether meat is
necessary or not. There are people
who live on vegetables only, but
vegetables are very costly here.
Eggs are the most nnurishing food,
but eggs cost five cents a piece.
Poi is excellent and so are fish, but
it is cheaper to buy meat even at
present price than investing 10 fish,
cabbage, and other extras. We have
got to live however, and il we can
not find foe d in the butcher shops
or in the markets we may have tc
eat the Advertiser and that is GER
tainly indigestible.
