A PURIFYING SORE.

The Supreme Court of Virginia has
handed down its opinion ''In re- But
TOM This case was decided some
weeks ago, but the opinion In full has
only been printed within the last week
in the newspapers. This case is the
one involving the constitutional right
of the Legislature to create the office of
Insurance Commissioner for the State.
On this subject the opinion of the
court, from our stand point, is sound,
but the action of the Legislature in
creating the Office was rotten to the
core, and the people Of this State
should never rest until this act is
stricken from the statute book. There
was no necessity for the office. 1t is
full of political graft. There is not
probably one person in ten in Virginia
interested in insurance, and If there be
even more than one in ten the persons
so interested are fully capable of taking
care of themselves. Most persons use
beef, why not have beef commission
er? Everybody eats flour, why not
have flour commissioner Every
body wears clothes, why not have a
clothes commissioner Nearly every
farmer uses fertilizer, why not have a
fertilizer commissioner Many drink
whisk key, why not have whiskey COM
missioner Many use tobacco, why
not have a tobacco commissioner
Many stop at hotels, why not have a
hotel commissioner So might this
necessity be found in a thousand
more instances, and where the exis
tence of such an officer is far more es-
sentlal than i'll the case of insurance.
We ask our readers how many of them
are insured, how much have they or
any one of them felt the need Of such
an officer This officer has salary
nearly as great as that Of Governor,
and has 81, 500 additional allowed him
tor clerk. Have any of our readers
ever felt any crying need for this APP.
pendage? Have any of you suffered
from insurance agents or insurance
companies? Were any of you ever
compelled to insure We think not.
You are compelled to ride on railways,
to send express parcels. to telegraph or
send phone messages, but are any of
you suffering now, or have any of you
suffered from the lack of an Insurance
Commissioner Never, we know.
Yet, gentle readers, last winter our
Legislature under the fostering care,
we are told, and infallible guidance of
Senator Thomas S. Martin, created an
Office for which you, nor l, nor any body
else, had the slightest use, and fOisted
the officer on the tax payers of this
State, and if he ever earns his salary
for one year, in the many years he is
likely to serve, another miracle will be
added to those we read of in holy writ
Since the days of Malone no such
bOssism, no such high handed work
has been done in this State. and if car
ried to its logical sequence We must
have hundreds of commissioners,m many
of whom We need a Thousand times
more than we need an Insurance Com
missioner. Like a snake this act should
be killed. like a putrifying sore it should
be cured, else the body polite will be-
come rotten to the core.

Equity PICNIC.
First Of its Kind in Augusta Held on
Christians Creek

The first picnic given by the Amer
lean Society of Equity, in Augusta
county was held at Christian g Creek
on August 18th, and run all day, about
two hundred and fifty farmers, wives
and children assembled at The old pic
mic ground. with baskets. boxes and
barrels, containing the first fruits of
land, and determination lthat no one
should take AL appetite away, was
written on their cOuntenances.
The literary feature was opened by
Geo. A. Shields. Esq, who welcomed
every one in witty and happy speech
OF about ten minutes. sAfter all doubts
as to the Intentions of the committee,
were pleasantly laid to rest. the affable
President of the Local Union, in a few
pertinent remarks introduced j 8.
Richey of the Fort Defiance Union,
who addressed the assembly upon the
question of prof table prices for farm
products and interested the audience
for twenty five or thirty minutes, with
arguments in favor of the principles,
plans and possibilities of the Ameri
can Society of Equity.
Then dinner was served, 'they say
WIG ioihp up tuCl Q uod cot
for two or three days before this pic
mic, and l don't blame them for
wonder some of them didn t burst.
After dinner MIR. r. g. KOiner,
County Organizer, entertained us with
a we'll written paper on the aims and
objects of equity. We tried to get the
Hon. J. W. Churchman to crate. but
excused him, when we found his mind
was so full of the question of 1.-TWO

had really not had time toprepare any
thing.
A very enjoyable and profitable day
was closed with an earnest talk from
Rev. Mr.. Altfather, pastor of Bethel
church, who showed clearly that the
principles of equity we've taught in
scripture, and heartily endorsed them
as good for the people.
New impetus was given to the cause
in the Christian g Creek neighborhOod
and from the zeal manifested by the
members of that union We expect to
hear of many additions to their mum

The Illinois Democratic convention
refused to GUST Roger Sullivan the
State chairman at Mr.. Bryan's re-
quest. This was natural. and posi-
bly, right, from their standpoint. Sui
Ivan is gold bug, and we think a
renegade of the campaign of 1896, and
some people think such men should be
in control of the Democratic party.
When they become SO it is fair to say
that Mr.. Bryan will no longer be a
member of 1t, and good many mil
lions of others will be the same way.
