A few Republican members of the
resent legislature have endeavored to
obtain some very cheap notoriety In
their action toward the present consti-
tuition. One gentleman picked up b is
belongings and went out of the house
refusing to take an oath to support
the new constitution. What that body
ought to do for him need not be set
forth here, but Should be a plenty. All
this might have something besides
cheap politics and cheap demagogy in
it, if We did not know that it came
largely from very cheap men, men in.
deed who can change their political
coats at every change of the political
mercury. But such agregations do
not carry great weight even with those
of their own political party, and as
for other people they only smile and
wonder what they will find to do next
to establish their reputation as being
the most successful ideals out side an
asylum for the public minded.

large measure, which had wrestled with
that proposition before, but which
could not give it fall. A smile went
over the face of the public when it saw
many of the men who could not previ-
ously bring their consciences to vote
for such a bill, seeking over each other
in their efforts to pass it. That the
public had detected the real motive
gave them offence. Had they deceived
the public into believing they had
always wanted such bill all would
have been well, But he is q great fool
who imagines he deceives people by vir-
tuous acts, inconsistent with his pre-
vious life and character. The i'll feel
ing of the Legislature toward the con-
vention grows largely out of this very
piece OF legislation, and the feeling Is
very bitter. Our statesmen however
had better curb there ire lest the PEG
pie allow them to remain at home and
nurseit till it cools. The more the peo-
pie understand the work and motive of
of the Convention, the more they will
be delighted that that body was called,
and so thoroughly did its work.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
tFrom our Regular Correspondent

(From our Regular Correspondent
Washington, July IA striking
evidence Of the close utilization of those
persons who are the bsneficiaries of the
tariff, and their determination to con-
ceal from the public information to
which 1t lie entitled, is furnished by
the lack of success which has attended
the efforts of Judge Griggs to secure a
copy of the Especial Discount Sheet"
issued by American exporters. While
1t is well known fact that American
manufacturers, in numerous instances,
avail themselves of special privileges
conferred on them by the tariff to
mulct American consumers, making
them pay nearly double what is paid
by foreigners for the Same articles,
Judge Griggs believed that the au-
thoritative statement of tho Especial
Discount Sheet ; would bring the facts
home to American voters as would
nothing else. He, therefore, commits
stoned an employe Of the democratic
to obtain one. Every Of
Tort to do so failed, and the reward |
If 800 was offered for a copy, but so
ar without avail. 1t is also notable
hat a number Of the leading newspa-
'ers of New York City refused to In
ert the advertisement which the ] Judge
lesired to place in their columns at
heir regular advertising rates, stating
hat they could not afford to antagonlze

A Busy Time at the Old Market.

scene just now, Mr.. J. N. Slicer, OF
Fincastle, is receiving for the Staunton
Cannery six carloads of tin-cans and
three carloads of box "shooks" which
are being nailed together to make
cases for the canned goods. The cans
come from Baltimore and the shocks
from Cahill, N. G.
There are some 100000 empty cans
in the consignment and about ITO
acres planted in tomatoes by SO Au-
gusta farmers. Mr.. Slicer proposes
to begin on tomatoes about the 10th
August and then work on peaches
and apples, if he can get them. His
firm is Jessup & Roberts of Philadel-
phia. 1t is to be hoped they will make
success here.
