The House of Montague,

The brilliant young Virglnian cap
tured first place on the Old Dominion
ticket Thursday last, hands down. We
carefully read the Stars long and ex-
haustive account Of the convention
but could nowhere find the word
Democratic" II we had not known
that the rock-ribbed Democracy OF the
Mother of States was in convention
assembled we would be in Ignorance
as to the name Of the party holding
the convention. We rise to ask, is the
name Democracy tabooed In the
Stars columns? It's account reminded
us OF a famous reporter on the Colum'
bus Evening Despatch, who wrote
column and a half halr-raising account
of a murder, and left the name OF the
murdered man entirely out Of the ar
ticle
However. we do believe that II our
neighbor across the street issued
blank sheet the citizens Of Washing
ton would purchase II just the same.
ANY old thing is good enough for its
columns.
The nomination Of Attorney General
Montague to the Gubernatorial office
was anticipated days, nay, weeks be-
fore the convention. This paper pre-
dicted his triumph OF Thursday last
six weeks ago He was the logical
candidate Of the convention and Of the
splendid Democracy Of Old Virginia.
He is a remarkably brilliant man and
peers Il with the brainiest above or
below the Mason & Dixon line. That
ne will be a worthy successor to the
long and distinguished line Of Virgin
ians who preceded him in the Guber-
material chair. we have not the slight
est doubt. His character for probity
and honor IS unimpeachable; he Is a
true son Of the chiyalrous State that
gave him birth and a worthy scion Of
the House Of Montague, which has ever
been conspicuous for It's loyalty and
patriotism to the State which 1t was
their pride 70 suffer for and to serve.
His runnng-mate on the ticket de-
served richly the honor conferred. It
is splendid ticket from head to tail,
and commands not alone the undivided
support OF the Virginia Democracy,
but the respect and confidence OF all
The head Of the ticket has made a
magnificent record as the highest law
officer Of the commonwealth, and that
he will equally distinguish himself In

Eynns's Manipusations.

Under the new law, or rather the
amended law passed at the last session
Of Congress. regulating the allowance
of pensions under the act Of June o.
1890, II. Clay Evans in order to de-
feat the intent Of said law, had pre-
pared and issued to the Examining
Surgeons throughout the United States
new rules. directing that all disabil.
tiles found on medical examination, on
orders marked act June o. 1890,
should be rated, not separately, as has
always been the practice, but as a
whole The maximum allowance un-
der said act is but Sl2. They

ing that the applicant can receive no
more. The certificate goes to the
claim, and under additional instruc-
tions governing the medical examiners
and reviewers in the Office, the rate is
cut In half and the claimant allowed

The Great strike.

President Shaffer ends the week de-
cidedly in the lead Of the hitherto In
vincible Pierpont Morgan. The strike
is spreading, and the fainthearted
among the labor element is taking
heart. It needs but a ringing declara'
ton from Sampel Gompers that the
Federation of Labor has enlisted
purse and men for the war, to bring
the great steel barons to their feet
VIII he do It? This is the opportunity
of Mr. Gompers life, and the sure road
10 win every trade and labor union in
America into the Federation Of Labor
On the other hand, this sagacions
leader has confronting him grave
problem. viz: the risk and prestige OF
his formidable organization and the
uncertainty Of victory. He has to cat
culate not only the resources OF the
common enemy, the steel barons, but
the .acksliding Of the men at the
forge. Evidence Of their weakness has
beep exhibited in Chicago and treach'
erv can be as easily traced as the ROAD

most distant territories its arms hau

prally pauses to launch the thunders

AN OUTRAGEOUS ACT.
A Helpless Woman the Sufferer at
the Heads of a District Official.
Washington, August 10.
ITOR SUNDAY GLOnE;

Washington, August 10.
EDITOR SUNDAY GLOBE;
The Star seems to have a Scoop
on the news around the District Build
ing, and after reading several articles
in that paper about a certain piece Of
paving that had been done without the
ukase Of the great triumyirate,
sought out the parties, and, to my sur
prise, found it was a lady who is, I'M
fortunate enough to own a place, and
not nonresident or foreigner. II she
only belonged to the latter class she
would be immune, and could do as she
chose with her property As there are
always two sides to a story we found
this to be the facts In this case.
The latter part Of May she made ap-
plication for permission to pave about
four yards Of the front yard, so as to
prevent dampness coming into the
basement. A man was engaged to do
the work, and after waiting several
days until she was about to leave the
city for some time, she received the
usual stereotyped letter saying her re-
quest would receive due considera-
ton" The man commenced on the
work, and an inspector appeared ON
the scene, and in place of stopping the
work allowed the man to finish it,
After the lady had left the city, a
notice was sent stating that it was
done without a permit and to remove
the paving and replace the dirt. Then,
when she returned, another notice was
sent, aud sne called at the Commission
ers office and made a full explanation,
and Mr.. Newcomer being the only one
OF the Commissioners on duty, said he
would take the matter under consid-
GRAFTON, and promised Mr.. Wilson to
let him know before any action was
taken. The next day, Newcomer drove
past the place, and the next morning,
shortly after . o'clock, six men and
two carts backed up to the place, seiz-
ed the pavement and away they went.
Even the colored men VINO took 1t up
blushed with shame for the great New
conner.
Now, It would not do to say that
man il only temporarily at the head
OF this capital city, told a falsehood'
for 1t would give people outside
queer IMPRESSION but what of his
promise to Mr.. Wilson? If the lady
had violated the law, why did they not
bring her into court and punish her
and not assume the part OF bulldozers?
But then, this only shows the true ma
ture Of the tyrannical government we
have in this city, incidentally, we
would like to ask this second fiddler
to Captain Beach II he has filed the
plans Of this great military move Of
his, in the War Department? II not,
he certainly ought to without delay
for surely the campaigns Of Grant,
Sherman, Sheridan and Thomas would
sink into insigniacance beside this
mighty military genius, j. T. H.

The Fertilizing Company
and the Police.

and the Police.
Locally we have touched upon the
danger of rotten garbage and decaying
vegetable matter to the health Of the
city and to the inconvenience and dis
gust Of the householder. There is as
great a grievance, however and equal
" dangerous to health, in the matter
of dead animals-horses, hogs, dogs,
etc, which remain until the fertilizer
company's wagons are ready to remove
the carton. Lately a species Of relief
has been afforded, in this particular,
more Objectionable even than the orig
inal neglect, inasmuch as it entails
needless suffering to poor dumb brutes
compelled to live in agony until the
fertilizer company's horse and wagon
arrives on the scene, when the animal
is put out Of Its misery
Our attention was attracted to this
phase Of the matter recently by po-
lice officer who absolutely refused TO
shoot a suffering horse at the request
Of its owner until he could summon on
the ground the fertilizer company's
vehicle to take away the remains.
Questioning the officer on the strange
ness Of his conduct in permitting the
horse to suffer instead Of putting 1t
out of its misery at once, he replied
that If he shot the horse before the
fertilizer company's wagon arrived
some outside party would purchase the
dead animal and remove it!
We pressed for no further informa-
ton from this intelligent and subsi-
died source, but we, this morning,
publicly direct the attention Of the
District Commissioner to the matter
and request an answer to the public
at large. whether they or the fertilizer
company issued such orders to the Of.
hcers on beats?
Major Sylvester, the head Of the Po-
lice Department, is certainly too intel.
ligent and too honest a man, we have
right to believe, to imagine that he
would issue any such a stupid, sinister
and asinine order as this officer claim
ed to have. The question lies between
the Commissioners and the fertilizer
company. II the latter has presumed
to subsidize the police the public wants
to know 1t, and il the Commissioners
have issued any such an order The
Globe respectfully calls up the Society
for the Prevention Of Cruelty to Ami
mails to do it's duty in the premises.
Must poor, dumb brutes then, be
kept in misery for hours and even
days. despite their owners protest
against such sufferings, that the fer
tilizer company, in which the pious
Star is a heavy stockholder may be
on hand to confscate the remains
when the animal is finally despatched
by an obsequious or subsidized police
officer?
viii the Society for the Prevention
Of Cruelty to Animals look into this
matter. The Globe Is ready to furnish
evidence In one case, at least.
