THE COMMISSION.

The Railway Commission for Vlr'
ginia is made public. 1t consists OF
Mr.. Henry Fairfax of Loudoun, MT.
Henry c. Stuart of Russell. and MI.
Bey. T. Crump of Richmond. AS to
two of these gentlemen there is no
surprise. as to the other, Mr.. Crump,
there is some. 1t was expected that
Mr.. Goodman of Richmond, would
be appointed, In as much as he was
strongly backed by various Chambers
of Commerce, and especially because
he was backed by Mr.. A. G. Braxtou,
the father CT the corporations clause IN
the constitution. There is but one
fear touching the commission and thai
| is that having so many other interests
to look after the members will not gel
down to that hard, laborious WorE
which must be undergone at once tt
master the corporations clause OF thu
Iconstltution and assist the Legislature
| in carrying it into effect. The callbr'
| of the men is all that could be desired
their high standing and integrity In
sures fair treatment and Independent
action. They cannot be owned b.
, the corporations, and there can be n
u just complaint on the part Of the col
porations. All in all this new claus
! will be put in effect by entrusting
, to as high toned men as are In Vii
GINA.

was ia dense ignorance of the fact that
his name was used. If the Senator had
been less successful in the manipula-
ton of the Pennsylvania elections the
Attorney might have found differently.
The enthusiasm with which Henry
Watterson is backing Senator German
as the coming democratic leader is &C.
casioning some surprise among the
friends of the veteran Kentucky editor.
They do not deny the ability OF the
Maryland Senator but they do not re-
gard him as sound on the tariff ques-
ton and they say the man who asplres
| to lead the democratic party in the
next national campaign must be an
avowed tariff reformer. That MI
German will promptly become the lead
! er of the democratic side OF the Senate
is the confident expectation of the
democrats in Washington.
1t will doubtless prove q source o.
disappointment to many families tt

behest of the protected interests in tn
Philippines, has decided that Christ
mas boxes for the soldier boys In tn

Buena VIsta's Budget.

Buena Vista, Nov. 18.-Mr. T. l.
Mills has disposed OF his household
goods and with H. r. Mills. is boarding
with Mrs. q. M. Speck on Seminary
Heights.
One of the most successful revivals
in years closed Sunday evening at the
Methodist church. 1t continued for
three weeks and the pastor, Rev. G. FL.
Buchanan, preached some very elo-
quent sermons. On Sunday morning
he referred very feelingly to the recep-
tion into the church eleven years ago
of class of thirty-one, three OF the
thirty.one were present that morning.
E. L. Embree returned Saturday
from a trip to New York.
Mrs. b. A. Brubeck has accepted the

The music loving people OF Buena
Vista had an opportunity to hear one
of the greatest treats in the musical
line that has even been afforded them
in the person of Mr.. George Kruger
who came very highly recommended
But we suppose, owing to the inclem
ency of the weather and unkno wlngly
they missed the treat. Mr.. Kruger
gave a piano recital at the Seminary
OH Monday evening to a small but
very appreciative audience.
Among the amusements that are at
tracing our people this week are the
company Of glass blowers, who are
giving exhibitions every afternoon and
evening. They make everything i'm
aginable out of glass. Large crowds
are present at each exhibition.

Senator Elkins says he had rather
the United States would pay the ex-
penses OF the Cuban government for
ten years than take the tax of lumber.
Seeing that tax on lumber puts mon.

ses takes no money out of bis pockets,
the Senator's love for tariff on lum'
Dor can be easily understood.

TO DISCOURAGE FRAUD.
Land Officials Tightening the
Strings in Timber and
Stone Entries.

The Marquette land Office is in re-
ceipt OF q communication from the
commissioner in which its officers
ore advised that hereafter in all
timber and stone cases applications
for government land must be made
out in duplicate, and one copy for
warded to the commissioner at Wash
ington. If for any reason the APP
plicant fails to offer proof as desig-
mated in bis published notice he will
be required to furnish statement
of the specific reasons for his fail
ue, the same to be forwarded to the
commissioner.
These instructions are an evil
dence OF the manner in which the
department is tightening the strings
s in con nection with the timber and
stone entries in order TO prevent the
government from being dcfrauded.
Large numbering interests and mill
men have subsidized men to take up
whole townships of great timber
wealth in the western states, par.
ticularly Washington, Oregon and
Idaho, for merely nominal considera-
tions, title being transferred to the
instigators of the schemes. The
government is now taking vigorous
measures to stamp out this sort OF
: thing.
We are headquarters for every
