j r YIRGINIA AND OHIO.
y '" it Jgjnflt a week to tbe 5th of
; ' - NoTemberwhen the great political
Jtles of 1889 will be fought in
h vyirfinia and Ohio.
The interest is national because
ft is believed that the status of
; " tbeo States in the presidential
campaign of 1892 will be fixed at
the approaching elections.
3oth parties are doing their
utmost- to win. In Virginia Gen.
Mahoneis working on Sundays as
Earnestly as on other days of the
week. This is no surprise to those
who know him. He has no per
v ' aonal piety and very little reverence
tor religion. His energy never
, fiif. and to him an idle hour is
ti always depressing.
. fIf his cause was equal to his per
1 tonal endurance be wonld win, bat,
however persistently he may press
his cause, he cannot commend it to
:- the heart and conscience of the
' patriotic people of Virginia. The
argument is against him, and the
a fact that it is presented by such
speakers as Burrows, of Michigan,
' and Bntterworth, of Ohio, will add
'nothing to its potency.
But Mahone is not relying upon
- the powers of oratory. Speeches
' are" made to cover the movements
. 0f, the boodle column under Quay!
; 5Pha. question is, can Virginians
'be bought t If they can, then the
contest is a doubtful one. Bntwe
repel tbe degrading insinuation
Here and there may be found a
man base enough to accept a bribe,
'bat enough honest Republicans will
"rebel against such methods to turn
vlhfcj scale in favor of Democracy.
JBut thlff is not all. There is an
. interest dearer to Virginia than the
triumph of a national party. The
honor of Virdnia is at stake. The
supreme issue is Mahoneism or not
VTheEichmond Times says:
''Burking was the name applied
years ago to a series ot nenaisn
murders oemetrated for earn in
Edinbure by a man named Burk.
Mahoneism is the name applied to
a system of government in Virginia
instituted by Mahone. . Bnrking
was the assassination of an mdi
vidual. Mahoneism is tne assassi
nation of a State. Unhappily for
Virginia she is threatened with
tatoicalamity; happily she is ap
prised of her peril."
r--Ja Ohio the Republican party
prtoents the aspect of a routed
armv. They rally, but at this
' - moment their forces are scattered
like chaff before the tempest.
All around us the indications of
Democratic success are most cheer
, ing.
CIVIL SERVICE JtEFOSM.
. , , ,. We have no sympathy with civil
Bervlce reform as interpreted by
politidal latter day saints. We be
JieTe in that reform which will fill
the various positions of the several
ipartments of government ' with
' tba best officials to be found in tbe
V. ;"f anf tW dominant party. No

critic, overwhelmingly Democratic,
and' if there any place- where
tbe popular will and the Republican
platform should unite toed force
an observance or tne ciru. service
regulations io which the Republi
can party is committed, it is tne
city of X)w York.
The National Democrat says:
"Joseph Elliott, jr., the assistant
superintendent of the money order
division of the New Iforkpostoffice,
was asked for his resignation on
October 12 by Postmaster Van
Oott.. Mr. Elliott has been in the
service for thirty-two years. tHe
was appointed a facer np of letters,
when he was 14 years old by Isaac
V. Fowler, postmaster, in 1857."
The Democrat publishes the let
ter of resignation of Mr. Elliot. We
cannot reproduce it all, but give
the following extract:
"A servant in any household is
generally granted a month's notice,
but I, a public servant, with an un
blemished record, holding a respon
sible position in the postal service
for 32 years successively, am com
pelled to give up, with three day's
notice, a position which postmast
ers Jones, James and Pearson have
had tbe kindness to mention has
been faithfully and conscientiously
filled by me. As I have, during
your administration, discharged
my duties with conscientous zeal
and energy, may I not hope to re
ceive, in a letter, from yon, similar
recognition of my devotion to duty
ana to tne interest or the uovem
meutT" Gases of this character have oc
curred from the convenience of the
Harrison administration. They
have long since ceased to occasion
surprise, but they give fearful era
pnasis to tbe nypocracy which is
becoming the chief characteristic
of our administration that is want
ing in evey element of greatness.
She was not in a Hurry.
"Is this the X. Y. and Z. ticket

"It is."
"Can I take the train here for
Pumpkin Hollow!"
"You can, in just ten minutes."
"What time does the train go!"
"AtttW."
"La me! They told me up at
Gatchem & Chea tern's that it went
at half past six."
"And so it does."
"Hey!"
"The train leaves at half past
six. Will you have a ticket!"
"Well, I dunno, 1 kinder thonght

"At 9:45, madam."

There is here no "dread of some

A Somewhat KIxe4 Prescription.
A woman, who recently: died in
Alabama, had been taking a pres
cription furnished her by a "witch
doctor," consisting of boneset, dan
delion, sarsaparilla, spikenard,
stoneroot, anise-6eed,caraway seed,
camel-flower. ' sulterwood,'. penny-
royal blopdroot, . spearmint, pep
permtnt, rhubarb, mandrake and
bnll's-eye-,- : ?
Not content with this, the witch'
doctor had also administered,; in
separate doses, rhubarb, pepper,
mint-leaves, carraway seed, mullen,
saleratus, brandy and sugar. - No
wonder the woman died. ' A pre
scription of simple hemp might be
more appropriate, in torn, for this
same "witch doctor." . - r
