MONTEREY VERY BUSY
Many Cases Disposed of at Session
of Court


Monterey, Virginia, July 1f.
: This has been busy week in Mon
terey and the court mas had some re-
markable cases to dispose of, and
there has consequently been full at
tendance, each day,of interested spec
tators.
In the case of the county against
the administrators of j. A. Jones, the
court decided not to hear oral argu-
ment but requested the attorneys to
submit briefs i'll regard to the defend
ants demurrer and if necessary to
hear oral argument later on. This
was probably done to ailay the excite
ement now existing.
If the court sustains the demurrer
the case will will be thrown out of
court.
The spectators were highly interes-
ted and amused over the case of A.
W. Hale. contractor, VS. L. H. Staph-
enson, j. NJ Coiaw and A.-G@Judy.
4 committee representing the FIRST
Presbyterian church.
Mr.. Hale contracted to build the
new churchand brought in a claim
for $615 for extra work, which the con-
mittee declined to pay. 60
The plaintiff was represented by
Messrs. a. L. jones and B.. H. Hiner;
the defendants by Messrs John and
L H Stephenson, J. M. Coiaw,
Charles Curry and CT. Jones and
Son
Whom the suit was brought the COM
mitree hlei an offsst account of rath-
ersamazing items and right there was
where the fun began.
The Offset account was for 1856. GO
aud in attacking this account Mr.. Ben
H. Hiner put each one of the commit
tee through cross-examination that
tore the claim all tS pieces.
In his closing argument Mr.. HineT
was somewhat severe. The Jury
Brought IN a verdict of $420 for Mr..
Hale. The case of the Mutual Teie-
phone Co against Forest Kyle for
damages resulting from the cutting
down of telephone pole in front of
Mr. Kyles electric light plant was
hazard and verdict OF $50 rendered
against Mr.. * lie.
Judge Anderson is clear and prompt
in his decisions and presses business
rapidly.

Here are some of the issues as defin-
ed by Senator Overman in his speech
at the North Carolina democratic con-
vention Thursday:
A tariff for revenue only, so ADJUST
ed as to operate alike on all classes, all
sections and all industries.
Enforce the law against the unlaw-
full trusts.
Enforce the law regulating railroad
rates in favor of the people
Down with Cannonism.
Down with plutocracy. >
Back to the slogan of 1S76-Re-
trenchment and Reform.
These are fine sentiments, and are
those which once the democratic peo-
pie Imagined those they elected stood
for in by gone days. But when the
crucial moment arrived there were de-
sertions, or cowardice, or actual disloy-
atty. Once only in many years did
the democrats have the two branches
of this government, the executive and
the legislative, SO as to pass laws.
Then something might have been
done, but for traitors in camp. No
tariff bill could be passed then worthy
of the name. The one passed was de
layed until the country became sick of
the inaction. Soon thereafter, with the
same executive head, the only demo-
cratic president in so years, that head
never mentioned the tariff. but went
off on themoney question, and left the
tariff, which was, and is, and always
will be, until properly arranged, the
absorbing and paramount question in
our politics, as much alone as if 1t had
no place in the government. In the
mean time a most Ubiquitous tariff
bill had been passed, known as the
Mckinley Bill, and in the face of
that outrage democratic president
made not even mention of it, but
left the people TO gro; II under it ever
since, until in their cry for "bread"
they were given the aPayne-Aldrich
ssstone." 1t seems, therefore, USELESS
for democrats as now differed to talk
about "these good things" especially
with reference to claws regulating
railroadsrates in favor of the people, !"
such as Senator Overman here men
tons. This would have a clearer and
better ring did we not know that every
North Carolina Senator must have the
0. K. of the Southern Railway. With
out it none has existed in many years.
None can exist. Suppose that such
sentiments would be heard emanating
from the Virginia Senator now in of
flee or the one to be soon installed.
Would anybody believe there would
be such railway rates? If so, he would
be simple minded soul. 1t is pleas
ant TO hear such sentiments, but the
democrats see no means OF enforcing
them, hence they are idle talk, spok-
en- not for use, but to catch the unwary
voter.

NEW YORK SEEKS A CANDIDATE

New York State is reduced to some
extremities, which is evident in her
search for gubernatorial timber, when
she begins to plead with Mr.. William
Loeb, erstwhile private secretary for
Mr.. Roosevelt, and now collector of
d tie Port Port. Of New York, to become a
css1sdz tate for the goveInc1ship OH the
republican ticket. Mr.. Loeb is a
citizen N ew York, we believe,
in the true sense. that is, he has voted
and paid some taxes there but he
has never been identified with Me-
York politics, and has no kind o1
claim to Office on account of party
service. Most governors of that state
have figured somewhat in local poll
tics prior to their can iidacy. Mr..
Loeb never. Apart from a desire on
behalf of Mr.. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt
to see Mr.. Loeb warm the executive
seat at Albany, there does not seem
to. be any crying demand for him.
The newspapers OF New York have
not gone wild over the suggestion.
nor does Mr.. Loeb, himself. seem
consumed with the idea. One thing
is certain au1 that is that among the
old New York regulars there is little
gubernatorial timber. New York,
this time will swing into the dem
cratic column.

1t will be but little while until
Col. Roosevelt will be very busy in
New York politics. There is no other
field that needs immediate attention.
In one of his talks the other day he
said: 81 want 10 find the best man for
the office" This /, and his eye, will
be over everything-a mighty help in
time of need. 1t will be interesting to
see how everybody and everything will
stand back to let him pass. How they
will get out of the way When his jug
gernaut car appears; how many will
I'm 10 him for advice, and take COM
mand only from him personally. Tie
small fry will vanish to shallow water
or get under the shelving rocks. The
supposedly big fish, which heretofore
had splashed the water terrifically, will
seek the calm of quiet water, and
they whose proportions were those OF
the whale little while gone by, will
shrink into the size of minnows. Ii
| will be interesting to watch events for
while. Mr. Roosevelt will hunt the
insurgent who dares to s'insurge"
against him, with the ferccity he
sought the lion. He will wither those
who dare oppose him, as he would
blow from his path dangerous rep
tile. He will brook no opposition.
In The midst of all this, it will be
amusing as well as educating to watch
Wall street. 1t is certain that. these
two are not on the best of terms. AT
heart Wall street despises Mr.. Roose-
welt, but that money center is willy. II
may submit quietly. 1t may, on the
other hand, show IFS teeth. This Is the
most dangerous problem before Mr..
r oosevelt. He can never get on with
out Wall street, and it looks as if he
can never get on with it. If Wall
street sees fit, here is her opportunity.
She can use her efforts against him.,
and possibly a defeat administered
now, to cause espoused by her enemy
may be SO effective as to stagger,i if not
unhorse him, before the national cam
pa1gn arises, and thus make him more
cautious, more observant of her "rights
and privileges" and altogether less
dangerous. Will Wall street seize the
opportunity, or will she fall in line as
she did on previous occasion, when
this same mbitious person was him
self a candidate for very high office ?
We think she will gracefully line up,
gracefully submit to being lassooed,-
and ridden.

SIR WILLIAM LOEB.

And now Mr.. VIM. Loeb has knelt
and received the full "Order OF Knight
hood" the o. X. as it is called, of the
Mighty Keeper of the Great Seal. 1t
has been impressed all over him, as
numerously as the marks on patient
just out of small pox hospital. The
initiation took place at Oyster Bay,
here the temple stands whose portal
every good knight must now pass, and
without which none is genuine 'sun-
less blown in the BOTTLE" that is unless
in addition to the o. X. the letters T.
R. also appear upon his shield and he'll
met. After this Order has been in
vested the Sir Knight may go to that
other temple and receive the sanction
or approval of the Keeper of Vestments
w. H. T., though this is considered
mere matter of form. In the case of
this modern Don Quixote, now Sir
VIM. Loeb, Jr., he did this, and he
may soon be seen mounted on his
elephantine Rosanante, lance in hand,
attacking wlndmills all over the State
of New York.

INSURGENCY SPREADING

The speech of Senator Bristow OF
Kansas at his home few days ago,
was received by his people with en-
thusiasm. 1t is now beginning to be
noticed by some of those newspapers
which seem to think, or at least
presume to say that it is best, to let a
sleeping dog lie The trouble, how
ever is, the dog will not sleep. They
have now begun to minimize that
speech as far as possible, in various
ways. Their principal cue seems to
be taken from recent statement
made by the honorable jim Sherman,
V. P. of the us, who not long since
made flying trip west, where he
found insurgency on the wane''-so
he says. Sunny Jim did not go west
looking for insurgents or insurgency.
He simply swept through that section
on an express train at about forty
miles an hour, and made stops only
where insurgents were not expected
and not invited. He, on the same
principle, might have told on his
return that watermellons do not grow
well in Kansas soil, because he may
have seen none in passing.
Mr.. Bristow in his speech calls at
tention to the fact, and it is a peril
nent and undeniable fact, that the
insurgents have possession of the
whole of the Middle West, from In
diana to Kansas. and like Socialism
in Germany, their numbers are in
creasing in every election. They have
now only to get the South into line
on the Tariff, and their victory will
be complete. The Republican Party
will be routed, and the Augean Stables
will be cleaned. Attention was called
sharply by Senator Bristow to the
rapid growth and great strength of
the insul ovemenu, = e
today am ouuts almost to revolution,
and that the consequences of a parley
or an agreement now, with the dom
inant party, would be as fatal to
their efforts, as would have been
comp cmise of the American people
with the English Commissioners after
the Battle of Saratoga There would
then have been no Yorktown, and
possibly no United States. The sur
render now to that party, dominated
as it is by Cannonism, by ideas EN-.
bodied in the Aldrich Payne Tariff
bill, and its subserviency to Trusts,
would destroy every principle for
which the insurgents are fighting and
for which the people behind them
stand.
