party will place at the head of its State
ticket this year a silver Democrat.
The best thing that Southern editors
can say about Cononel In!iiott F. Sbep- j
aril is to say nothing and that is what j
we shall say just as near as it is possible I
to do so. He was a bitter enemy of the
South and he took no pains to disguise
it. Whenever lie could say anything
mean about our people he did so and he
did more than any man in the country
for the few years to keep alive the see- i
tkm.il asperities which have been so j
troublesome.—Norfolk Landmrrk.

Daniel introduced W. A. Young, Alfred

Captain Mayo who wants to he appoint

Mr. Cleveland's former administration.
Later in the day Captain Mayo filed his
application for a place in the Treasury
Department.
The Virginia delegation will make an
other effort to get together and fix up a
slate for the appointments in tlieir State,
and for that purpose they held the cau
cus last week: There is not much more
prospect of tlieir agreeing at this time
than there was on occasion of tlieir for
mer caucus, and if they should agree
there is :o assurance that the President
would follow their recommendations,
lie lias shown a disposition to smash
some of the Congressional siates that
have been fixed up for him heretofore.
The applications filed at the Treasury
Department today included those of
j John T. Henderson, of Alexandria, Va.
to he custodian of plates and dies in the
bureau of engraving and printing, and
James Raymond White, of the District
of Columbia, to be chief of division in

The Boycott as a Conspiracy.
That saiiec for goose is sauce for gander
is a general truth often overlooked. If a
combination of railroads companies to
control trade and regulate prices is ail
unlawful conspiracy, so also may be a
combination of railroad employes to the
j same end.
This is the La-.ia of Judge Taft's decis
ion in the Ann Arbor case. The Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, in so far
as it assumes to control the operation
of the public railroads by means outside
the law, becomes an unlawful conspiracy
and its officers may be restrained from
carrying out the purpose of their organ
ization.
This is not a novel decision. Various
trade unions have been similarly con
demned before undersimilar conditions
when their action clearly amounted to a
conspiracy against the orderly transac
tion <>t business. It will be observed
ff at tiie decision does not touch the
right -ndividual employes. They
are at liberty to work or to be idle as
they may see fit, but not to conspire to
gether inr tin* obstruction of commerce.
The special importance of this decis
ion is only that it brings the general
subject under revie w upon an unusually
broad plane, uncomplicated with any
thing like physical violence. It thus
gives a favorable opportunity for a more
intelligent discussion of the principles
underlying the relations of the railroads
and their employes with the public,
whoso eilfare must always be held para
mount. Tltiiadelphia Times.
Stop-Over Tickets.
H. W. Fuller, general passenger agent
of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway,
'vrii -s tiie Richmond Dispatch as follows:
Regarding that clause in your editorial
of March Kith which especially refers to
•he suggestion that round-trip tickets
should be sold from Richmond and Vir
ginia points to Chicago that would per
mit a r'top-over at the mountain resorts,
I Would ay that it is our intention to so
arrange our tickets—viz.: that a passen
ger may purchase a ticket to Chicago and
return aim may stop over either going or
returning or both, at any of the various
mountain resorts on our line. Full de
tail for this have not been arranged,
but 1 hope soon to be able to make the
iicce sury announcement, through the
advertising columns of the Virginia
press.

Easter was generally enjoyed by all,
and appropriate services were held at all
the churches. The attendance was large.
There are quite a number of visitors in
our town this week, County Court being
in session, some for pleasure, others on
business and not a small number who
could not help themselves, being sum
moned either as w itnesses or jurors.
The Progressive Eucher Party given
b- tile Of the Hotel Tntermont
Monday night was largely attended ana
was a. most enjoyable affair. Refresh'
ments were served to the guests upon
arrival and again toward the end of the
game, and all did full justice to them.
There were no prizes offered, and this
departure from the usual routine jis
worthy of emulation by givers of such
parties. There are no “heart burnings’’
left by the refreshments the Intermont
management knows so well how to pre
pare.
B. li. Brown, jailer of this countv, lias
shown that he is the man to have charge
of the court house yard and its build
ings. The court house presents an at
tractive appearance ou the inside, hav
ing been much improved by the addition
of a chandelier and bracket lamps, which
furnish good light in all parts of the
room. The yard around the court house
presents the very appearance of neat
ness and cleanliness, and our county
should consider itself fortunate to pos
sess such a good custodian of the court
property, as Mr. Brown has proven him
self to be.
Mr. J. J. Tiobbs the efficient' and ex
tremelv obliging Clerk of the County
anti Circuit Courts, isia candidate for
re-election. Mr. Hobbs has served in
this capacity for a great portion of his
life and is thoroughly familiar with
every detail. No one could fill the office
acceptably who is not well versed in law
nor could one handle the business with
dispatch without experience. In county
matters all should unite in choosing the
best men for office without regard to
politics or party, as there is nothing po
litically that concerns us so much as
county affairs. Mr. Hobbs deserves the
support of all.
We regret to announce the sad death
of Mr. J. E. Campbell’s little boy, Sat
urday last, liis death being the result of
burns from inhaling the steam from a
pot of boiling tea. The burns seemed at
the time to have been slight, and at
tracted only passing notice, and the
child played around for an hour or so
and then became fretful, and became
rapidly very ill with convulsions from
which it never recovered. Mr. Campbell
is the editor of the Alleghany Sentinel,
and has but recently moved here. He
has tile sympathy of all.
Gala Water, Va.
March 27tii, 1898.
Springtime is upon us; we know it by
mony signs—by the poets telling, by the
universal spring fever, by the birds and
grass—but most certainly and positively
of all things does the presence of that
creation of wings, legs and proboscis,
the musqujto, announce the advent of
“gentle spring.” We extend it a wel
come, inusquitoes and all.
Industrious farmers have been at their
plowing for several weeks, and some few
put in potatoes on St. Patrick’s day in
spite of the snow, while many who look
well to the ways of their household are
busy with gardening, trimming fruit
trees and giving a general sprucing up
to their premises.
Mr. John Echols bears the honor of
having caught the lirst trout of the
season. He spent to-day at it in Long
Entry Creek. His string of speckled
beauties attests the fact that there were
trout in the stream, and also the size of
the string leaves room for the hope of
finding a few left for the next fisherman.
John says lie’s nothing if not unselfish.

Mr. E. L. Baynes, night operator at
Iron Gate left last Friday morning with
the intention (he said) of returning with
his better-halt'. Mr. Baynes returned
Saturday without that better-half, as he
called her, and has worn a kind ’o sad
exdression ever since. We have not
learned particulars.
In last week’s Virginian it was stated
as a surmise, that Mayor Robinson would
likely "kidnap” one'of Rocky Mount’s
most popular young ladies. But now
there is no supposition about the matter.
The Mayor was married to Miss Blanche
Keeny last Wednesday evening in the
Presbyterian church at Rocky Mount
by Rev. Mr. Hoiliday, and returned to
Iron Gate on Thursday with his bride.
A reception was given them and the oc
