Not long ago the wife of western
Kansas politician asked him to lay
aside politics long enough one day to
dig the potatoes in the garden. He
agreed to do it. After digging for a
few minutes he went into the house
and said he had. found a coin. He
washed it off and it proved to be a
silver quarter. He put it in his jeans
and went back to work. Presently he
went to the house again and said he
had found another coin. He washed
the dirt off it. 1t was silver half
dollar. He put it in his jeans. 81
have worked pretty hard" said he to
his wife: &c guess I'll take a short
nap" When he awoke he found that
his wife had dug all the rest of the
potatoes. But she found no coins. 1t
then dawned upon her that she had
been "worked. Eek.

The little boss gave his readers last
week five or six columns of abuse Of
the HERALD and its editor. But he
did not explain a single thing the
people want to know. How the gen
eral fund of the treasury happens to
be empty, etc. The HERALD was
after the commissioners alone, but we
seem to have stirred up the clerks Of
fee and treasury as well. They rush
into print with column Of abuse of
the HERALD written by Royce, in
which they confess to having viola
ted the law in several particulars.
Why do these gentlemen fly to Royce
rescue when he is exposed? Can it be
they are members of his gang? The
people will classify you just where you
put yourselves gentlemen. If all that
statement which you sign is true,
then you will certainly be held to &C
count for violation of law. If 1t is
not true, we would advise you to read
a little more carefully your little
boss's 'proelamations" before you
sign them.l

The PhillipSburg News tells about
the commissioners over there. taking
junketing trips with bridge men and
other contractors for county work.
Our commissioners here are wonder
ing what that sort of thing means.
They never have made such a trip
and want to know about it.-Smith
County Journal.
Oh, Go Away Back and Sit Down.
Ben, your commissioners are pops
over there. What contractor would
be fool enough to waste his time TAX
ing pops on a junket? Besides, you
have no such thing as heightened Jew
boss to plan the junkets for you. Your
county had Jew boss once. but you
didn't appreciate him, and drove him
out, so now you suffer the conse-
QuenceS.

The initial steps in Il movement looking
to the governmental relief of the terrible
conditions prevailing at the Nlrginla pen
itentiarv will be inausurated at Il meet
ing in this city to-day of the JOINT LcglS-
lative Committee appointed at the extra
session of the General Assembly to lnves-
tigatc the whole subject and report to the
next Legislature, as to methods whereby
the condition OF the penal population OF
the State may be bcttcred.
The members of the communicative in
number-are arriving. The session VIII
probably be held q Nlurphys at noon to
day \ member OF the committee said
to q Times writer last night that it WIS
likely the committee would be in session
through Friday and Saturday also. The
penitentiary will be inspected with ut
most minuteness, with a view to obtaln-
inng full information as to the sanitary
conditions at the institution. The ser
vices of the prison surgeon will be IN
voked to this end and DR.. Darlington
will have to devote several hours to eN-
planning conditions to the committee.

will be instrumental in institutinG great
improvements at the penitentiary,' said
Hon S. NJ. Newhousc, OF ClIlpeper, last
night. He is a. member of the committee.

wish as to details. but I know they all
want to see conditions which are a dlS-
grace TO the fair name of Virginia re-
licvcd. | am familiar with the conditions
al the pententiary, as | am a member of
the Prisons Committee of tho House OF
Delegates, and have often visited the in
stitution. | have never been able to
cfface from my mind the impression which
my first visit to$ the prison made lpo,:
me. ! determined then that if it was ever
in my power to do anything to relieve the
conditions which made me SICK, l. would
do so as u duty to humanity.
Il am inclined to think continued NJ
NewhOuse, ..that it would be well to buy
two or three farms in different sections Of
the State and build prisons on tnem for,
the accommodation of our convicts. But
I am not welded to any particular plan OF
relief. l am simply determined that SO
far as in me lies the conditions which are
a disgrace to Virginia shall be relieved.
| know the other members are with me. :
All the members of the committee Will
be present at the meeting of the commit
tee to-day. They are: Senator LIE cato,
OF Accomac; Senator Eggleston, of Char
