LOBBY IN CONTROL

On the front page of The Richmond
Times-Dispatch of the 10th instant there
appeared lengthy special from Staun-
ton, Va, with the startling headlines:
Lobbyists of Corporations Prevent
Needed Legislation The staff CORE
spondent of the Times-Dispatch was de-
failing charges made by President
Westmoreland Davis in his address be-
fore the Virginia State Farmers Insti-
tute, then in session at Staunton. Mr..
Davis read list of twenty bills intro
duced at recent sessions of the Virginia
Legislature which would have been ben
eficial to the agricultural interests of
the State, but that were defeated by
the ever-watchful lobby of the corpora
tons. The correspondent reported as
follows:
President Davis said he was sure
the people of the State did not re-
allze what an undertaking it was to
secure the passage by the Virginia
Legislature of any law which might
prove hurtful to corporation, how
ever much the people might be ben
emitted or how high the character of
those who stand sponsor to it,
Mr.. Davis ascribes the cause for these
conditions to the fact that: THE sub
stantial farmer is overlooked for the
election of the petty politician. whose
vanity and smattering of knowledge
makes him most dangerous
MI Davis might have added, that
these petty politicians" are the chosen
vessels of the corporations, their cam
paign funds being frequently supplied
by the corporations. The recent dis
closures, made in the campaign for U.
5. Senators from this State, show how
the Democratic organization has been
for years not only receiving but solicit
ing campaign contributions from cor
porations. 1t is also well known that
individual candidates have had their
campaign expenses paid by corpora
tons These are the reasons wby it ia
so difficult to secure the passage of any
legislation that is not acceptable to the
corporations. Gus" knows how to fix
thiTgs, and he fixes them.
The Democratic politicians and news
papers in Virginia have all the time
been making the air hideous with their
shrieks against the trusts, but in no
State of the Union has there been less
legislation adverse to the trusts and
corporations. The Legislature has been
completely controlled by the Democrats
for more than twenty-five years past,
and during that time the corporation
Hobbies have seen that Legislation has
not been against the trusts.
Mr.. Davis, in his address at Staun-
ton, said: THE farmer could only ap-
peal to aroused public sentiment, hav-
ing no paid lobby for his defense" The
trouble has been, and is now, to arouse
public sentiment against the influences
4hat control legislation. These influ-
ences hide behind what they call De-
mocracy. This is the charm which thew
use to deceive the people and make
them submit to a mismanagement of |
the affairs of the State and all kinds of |
jobbery in the halls of Legislation.

fine RECITAL IN CENTURY CLUB.

The New Century Club Rooms was
the scene OF one ofthe best piano recitals
ever given in this town last Tuesday
evening, when Prof Milo DyeO, the
celebrated pianist, entertained a large
aud appreciative audience. The Pro
fessor played III dsrkeued room IN
which the only light was a "hiddeD
moon" which hung directly over the
performer thus adding much to the ef
f ct of the music. AnIther innovation
OF the musician was the 'silent salute, +"
which is nothing other than the extend
ing OF the right hand by the audience
Instead Of pplause. He played entirely
from memory, and it is marvellous how
such intricate pieces Of music could be
mastered aud committed 10 mind so
perfectly as did Mr.. DeyO. The piano
used for the recital was loaned by Roy
Banning agent at Milford.

WANTS STREETS SPRINKLED.

As a taxpayer and q housekeepel
who takes pride in home neatness, and
with q desire to better home condi
tions, sm addressing this letter to thC
people OF the town OF Milford IN parti
cular, and the members OF Town EOun
cIl as their agents to carry out the pro
per government Of the town. For three
weeks the streets OF Milford have been
so dusty that each passing vehicle has
N ade the air u dense cloud OF fine par
ticles Of dust No matter how tightly
closed the windows aud doors may be
kept the fne dust penetrates into the
rooms. and makes the home, the store
and the streets disagreeable to occupy
or look upon. 1t seems TO me tnat q
common sense view TO take OF this sit
uattOn. is to have the streets spIinkled
each day with the street sprinkler, and
that the cost be betrayed from the pub
bile treasury as part Of the up keep Of
the streets. 1 know that there are
narrow minded people, who refuse to
use the town water system because it
would cost three dollars to provide
comfort for their home or store l know
that there are merchants who refuse to
use town water to lay the dust, or wash
of in front Of their stores, and thus
make their groceries cleaner for table
use, or make the dry goods, etc , more
attractive to the buyer but let the
town make all people alike contribute
10 this by taking the money from the
general fund, and having al the streets
sprinkled, and thus the entiie town
made free from the dust nuisance.
