John +. Moon, who is attorney i'll Virginia

Mr.. Moon has gone to that city, but it is
understood not to be in connection with

intention to reside permanently at his

return to New York cannot be learned
from his attorneys, and it is quite proba-

NOT NEEDLESS ALARM.

Some Democrats in Virginia are
doubtless snyin, to themselves that
the newspapers raised needless cry
OF alarn. Just before the election of
last Tuesday. in suggesting the posi-
bility Of a Republican victory. AS it
turns out, Montague polled an over
whelming majority, but this is due to
the fac. that the Republicans in many
parss of the State-in fact in most
parts OF the State-refraincd from
voting. II they had voted to man.
the result would have been in doubt
The Democrats were Indifferent and
they needed to be aroused. and it was
right and propes and wise for Demo-
cratic newspapers to sound the note
Of warning.
But apars from all that, it is always
iii order for public journals to urge
the people to turn OUT on election-day
md vote. II the people lose interest
in their elections. they cannot reason
ably hope to have pure elections and
honest governments. Leaving every
other consideration out Of the ques-
ton, ne repeat what we said time and
again before the electio.l, that voting
is something more than q privileges.
It is a sacred obligation of citizenship.

ASHEVILLE. N. c. November AT
the Good Roads Congress here to-day a

tirely OF delegates from the western sec

counties being represented.
The name adopted by the organization
is the Appalachian Good Roads Associa-
ton. large delegation will be sent

clded to have q State Convention.

sarily be extended in the South. The

Nor Is the power Of Tammany de-
rived solely from the unfortunate and
vicious who are protected in their
crimes, but the rich and powerful COR
poratfons and firms whether they be
stores or building or manufacturing
interests. We're forced to contribute
openly for the support OF Tamnlany
and for the representation Of this con-
dition.
According 10 the. Worlds Work, 1t IS
estimated that between four and eight
million dollars were subscribed by the
merchants and manufacturers and otil-
er industries of New York for the
Talnmany campaign fund this fall.
and yet these men knew that their
whole method of life would not only
be more pleasant and more honorable
were the necessity for this infquitous
assessment removed.
The silent vote. to which Mr.. Croker:
referred while sitting in the private
room Of Tammany's headquarters on
Tuesday night. made itself felt with
terrific force when the returns We're
finally in, and the effect Of this vote
demonstrated clearly that there were
left in New York 10000 men over and
above those necessary TO elect Seth
Low, who could neither be brdbed nor
coerccd into supporting a system of
piilage that has never been equalled

worth attention, for it sometimes assists
materially in determinging the species, if

Birds have three modes Of progression on
foot-walking, hopping, and running. The
smaller birds are mostly hoppers, like the
common English sparrow, wherein the
tracks Of the two, feet, if made in the

larger birds, like crows and grackle:s.
adopt this more dignified method of walk

wing. Rarely a small bird is seen to
walk. like the golden-crowtlcd thrush, and
always with ludicrous effect.
