Not n Trivial Matter.

IF Colonel b O. James secretary of the Com
monwealth regards II a trivial matter that
his chief clerk has used the stationery of MS
office, hts name ard official tft1e. to secure
under false impression voting lists from the
registrars of the State. he will find he has had
a very mistaken idea of the matter when he
comes up for denomination and reelection as
secretary of the Comm onwealth
No State official has the right to use hts
office for the collection of Information from
other State officials except in the regular course
Of his business u servant of the Common
wealth If he is getting the information :or
his private use 1t is his duty to write and deal
in his private capacity, and let people know
nection whatever with his Office Then he woali
be acting honestly and openly with the public.
If he does not do this, he is acting honestly
and openly with the public,
If the official himself cannot honestly do this
thing certainly clerk has the right without
the knowledge of his superior To uss MS name
and title while doing It. and to maze the i'm
preston that the work Is being done for the
bereft OF the Commonwealth. Il is q decep~
ton and snare all the way through and If lie
Is not using his connection with the Common
wealth for private gain, and Is paying for the
postage and stationery out OF his own pocket.
he Is going TO lot OF expense simply for the
pleasure of having list of the voters Of the
State There is gain in 1t som ewhere for some
body or 1t would not be done. and Colonel James
failure to condemn the proceeding in Strong
terms indicates that the power which most
politicians dread is back of the Hst-gather1ng--
a power that strong enough to have the
work proceed even after Colonel James had
stated that it had been stapped.--Staunton

Nature of the Onense.


The Lynohburg News of Wednesday referring
letter said
Hayes offense. therefore, consists not only of
having wrongly signed his superior's name, but
in having taken advantage of his position to
secure gratis what he should have paid for
the latter being offense of such smallneSs
that few men would stoop to it"
The Lynohburs News of today. discussing the
same case says:
The News is inclined to agree with its
Roanoke neighbor that more has been made Of
rants, but fear the Times in its Indignation
has gone to the other extreme in trying to min

If Hayes wrong in signing his superior s
name and If he stopped to act of such small
ness that few would stoop to- surely those
newspapers of the State which object seriously
pressing their opinions vigorously. When news

POWDERED OYSTERS.

What do you know about powdered oysters"
According to adyices from Hampton. Captain
Frank Darling. one of the largest oyster packers
that city. has perfected q process by which the
"suoculent hivalves" can be reduced 10 powder
and bottled, preserving the original flavor and
nutritious qualities OF the oyster The oyster
thus reduced can be kept indefinitely and ship
ped to any part OF the world, whereas it is im.
practicable Of course. TO ship the fresh biyalves
because % their perlshabIe nature It is further
claimed by the inventor that In this powdered
form the oysters will be indispensable in hoSpi,
tails and sick rooms for making broths and other
strengthening foods.
Canned oysters have been on the market for
many years but there are few things more
taztaleSs ard unsatisfactory process has yet
been discovered for preserving the flavor of the
blvalve IN canning. and without the delicious
favor for which the -"sueculent biYalye" Is
famous. one may as well eat dishrags
Captain Darling. it is said has been working
on the idea Of reducing the oysters to powdered
form for some months in cooperation with an
expert from the agricultural department of the
United States. and now announces the successful
conclusion OF his experiments Wealthy New

stand for the sale OF liquor. Let us see for a
moment Do they mean that the men now en-
gagged In the traffic will engage In the operation
Of blind-tigers and speakeasies? Have they no
higher opinion OF the men engaged in the traffic
than to make this charge against that class of
men?
viii any one deny that there are in this city
today bnndtigers speakeasies and bootleggers
II they think there is nothing of the kind IN the
city let him scan the police records at any time
and see what the real active, vigilant members
Of the police unearth almost every Sunday.
Where do they get the liquor? Do they get It
from out of the city, or do they get it from the
dealers right here in Richmond?
Richmond and Virginia can well afford to lose
that class Of people VINO will go where they can
&c; liquor whenever they want II. II there were
no liquor for them TO get the chances are that a
majority of them would go TO work, becomes
producers and be in a position to contribute to
the general wealth Of the community instead OF
being a menace to it's progress.
1t is the hope, the desire and purpose of the
friends Of prohibition to that very class Of
persons against themselves by voting liquor out
OF the country.
