KISS THE FREE PASS GOOD BYE.

There is sadness in officialdom. 7 e
new constitution of Virginia which
has just been proclaimed, has provid-
ed that no State, county or city offici-
al, other than the members of the II.
r. Commission, shall receive free pass
es on any transportation lines doing
business in Virginia. This will be the
cause of many pounds of pasteboard
being returned to the various rail-
roads on and after the 10th OF July.
Any officer who violates this provision
forfeits his Office. The pass was con-
sidered one of the perquisites when the
loud mouthed orator from his perch
ON the store box at the CROSS roads,
was bemoaning the fate Of Virginia TO
Virginlans, and giving cogent reasons
why be and not the other fellow should
be entrusted with official position, he
counted the ducats which he heard
clinking into the other fellows pocket
of course, but do not think for a
moment that he was oblivious to the
railroad pass which he had seen bis
opponent flash on the conductor a
few days previous when he of the loud
mouth, who sat in the seat behind the
official who carried the pass, had to 60
down in his jeans and hand over his
own hard earned coin of the realm.
The free pass has passed away from
the official for the first and last time
| in this Commonwealth, it's day and
generation have vanished as tale that
is told, and a great step forward In
official integrity has been taken. We
have always regarded with more OF
less doubt the propriety of the accep
lance of such favors on the part o.
Office holders and we rejoice that temp
tation has been removed. 1t was {
temptation. If not a bride direct II
was mollifier, and savored of no gOOt
purpose. Very high minded men VI
we ale told did not accept passes. Tn.
high minded and the low minded will
now stand on the same plane.

Our flag which was put" in Cuba
has been hauled down. Cuba was the
only country the Spaniards owned
which should have come under the
domination of the United States, but
it did not come. Now the people are
very Indifferent as to the Philippines.
The flag does not stay put as we find.
but our soldiers and our money do
stay put. We have constantly to put
up more and leave it put so far as we
are concerned. The phtting business
is costly. If we had our money and
our soldiers back our game of "put"
would end and the people would thank
heaven.

THE BATTLE OF PIEDMONT.

Interest in the battle of Piedmont
which is the only pitch battle ever
fought in Augusta county, has been
greatly increased of late. There were
so many men from Augusta county
who participated in it, and so little
has been said about it, that its place
among the battles of the civil war may
be entirely lost unless some record is
made OF it, ether than has heretofore
been made. Last week the Editor
of this paper in company with DR..
Carter Berkeley, of this city, visited
that battle ground and together went
over it's ensanguine field. Both were
there that day and both did what in
their humble way they could, let it be
little or much. This much can be said
for DIR. Berkeley, however, that the
guns he commanded opened and closed
the fight. In both instances the enemy
suffered. This, however, will be more
fully brought out later, because it is to
be the policy of this paper to publish
various articles on this battle, whether
written for this paper Or not, and fur
ther to attempt to have the Supervi-
sors of this county place at some ap-
propriate place in our new court
house cabinet where relics from that
or any other battle fields in the county
may be gathered and exhibited, and if
possible get a roster of the names OF
the men of Augusta who were there
on that day and have it placed in the
cabinet. 1t will be remembered that
Rosser and Wickham attacked Gen.
Tolbert at Waynesbor0 the same year
and considerable running fight was
engaged in, and that Sheridan attack
ed Early near the same place In the
spring of 1865, but these were not pitch
battles while Piedmont was. We would
gladly publish any good reliable arti.
cles written on this battle by persons
who were engaged in 1t, and we would
be glad if those who were there would
send to this paper their names with
the names Of all the men they know
from Augusta. If they known of any
special service rendered on that day
we would be glad to have that also.

THE STRIKES.

The strikes are increasing, and coal
is soaring higher and higher. Nothing
of permanently beneficial nature
will come from these strikes, the strik-
ers will lose a summers work and
begin winter poorer than ever, while
the coal barron will add to the price
of coal to the consumer sufficient to
pay all losses. We ought to have
sympathy for these struggling people
of course, and We do have some, but
not the sympathy we would have if
their miseries were not self inflicted.
They have brought all this trouble on
themselves and should suffer some at
least. They have persistently voted
the Republican ticket, and thus placed
in power men whose measures grind
them to powder. They have been
fools enough to believe that high tar
ifs we're their salvation. when indeed
tariffs were their destruction. The
wolf and the lamb cannot live in the
same pasture. Yet those people howl
ed for the Dingley tariff, howled for
Republican rule, howled for a gold
standard, every one of which suited
their masters, but not them. Rich
master does not mean rich servant, but
the foolish miner thought it did. Now
his mind is disabused. After he has
been warned of the consequence
After he saw, and in many cases par
ticipated in the strikes of 1875 6. After
he has worked bis life out and at its
end is as poor as when he began. After
he has seen the wealth his toll and
sweat have produced with none to
him, it would seem that he would do
something for himself at the ballot
box. But no. He will return like the
SOW to her wallowing in the mire. He.
will vote for Mark Hanna for presi.
dent If he is nominated, carry hanna
banners in the procession, and shout
himself hoarse for this champion of
liberty and labor. 1t is all right, if
the miner can stand Republication
we can, if he can help rivet chains on
his own arms We are willing, but we
hate to see men with 30 little sense, and
go blind to self interest.

of Colonel Browne is proof for the
Forty fifth. Imboden 8 account abounds
