EDITORIAL COMMENT. Gen. E. Bind Grubb has organ ized a corner ©n retirement. lie has taken himself to retirement. The legislature adjourned 9fh, inst. The Stale Road is to be leas ed in June 1890 lo the highest bid der. The session was lengthy. The Ohio republicans carried ev erything by a plurality vote, x cpt tor governor. Th* democrats elected her irovernor. The ?v'atr company and the milkmen of Louisville, Ivy., are abeut to form a trust. In such a combine as til’s there ought to be an equal division of profits. It has been abundantly proven that the South American delegates do not speak United States Span ish. As yet, they have only their mother tongue. New Mexico declares she does not want the negro colonization in her border-:. Therefore, the emi gration scheme of sending the ne gro to h@r territory is likely lo be & * tail ure. The German vote in Ohio basso aroused Mr. Harrison that there are moments when he is tempted to lay asidtf the panoply of piety, and make some vigorous N >rlh American remarks. Mihone is about to explods will; explanations. The only one the democrats wanted they have got in the person of McKinney for gov ernor. Maheue may keep the byl lance unexplained if ho wants to. An eastern paper advises the re publican leaders of Ohio to get to gether. Like tomcats, the Ohio republican leaders do not wait for such advice. The tufts ©f hair on the wire fence show what the re sult has been. The county democracy in New v ork city, by openly combining with republicans to defeat demo cratic candidates, has given the whole country a peep behind the • scenes. We know now who knif ed Mr. Cleveland. Mr. Harrison says he nude no special effort in behalf ef Mahone. This shows how wise a republican can be after the deluge. Harrison would rather have seen Mahone elected ts the downfall of the whole state of Virginia. But now his party forbids an honest confession. The Journal acknowledges the receipt of a copy of the New Yerk Ledger, published by the Bonner Bros, The paperis a literary make up and contains a full line of fine reading, stories, etc. The langu age of the different authors are very chaste. The Ohio democrats, following the example set them by the Fsr aker party, should proceed to re district the i late. As the republi cans h.m m-ide die gerrymander popular in ♦ :.o a-jy will hardly have the in p 'donee to object to an ’ applicatbn by the democrats, Lven !. rad admits that some of oaal bounda ries are s ” jDetrc. . -A Free Press special from libpeming, Mich., says; What will probably prove lo be a triple murder was committed Monday night at Matchwood, mm® eighty miles west of here. John McDonald and Duncan Reveridge, homesteaders, had some trouble ov era homestead claim, Monday night McDonald went to Beve'- idge a cottage to talk matters over. Mrs Beveridge and a friend were also in the room. During tho con versation the men. gal very excit ed and McDonald pulled his revol ver and shot Beveridge, wounding him fatally. Ha then turned upon the women and shot Mrs. Bever idge in tho hip, after which he empt ied the remaining chambers oi the revolver at Air*. Beveridge’s friend, inflicting a fatal wound. When the crime was diseover&d a p< ssa wont in pursuit of McDonald, w to was clortlv captured. His captors were at first going to lynch hrrn, but wiser counsel prevailed and he was bound and held until the arrival of the sheriff. 1 he Athens Fair. The Athens Fair of last week was a success. J.'he crowd Tuesday and Wednesday were not as large as Thursday. The gathering on this day was about 1,000 —at a low esti mation. The alliance wedding came off at 11:00. There were three couple—two from Banks, and one Lorn Oglethorp. The bridal t.rou seau looked well—made entirely of sotfon bagging. The marriage ceremony was performed on the grand stand, and fronting an au dience of about 5,000. None but a few relatives and friends with the miiysler, were escorted, to the stand with the bridal party who came out to the grounds in carriages driven by a span of gray horses to each. At 4 o’clock the bridal parties were driven to the store of Julius Cohen & Cos., where they received a reception. The congratulations were many. The presents were numerous. The racing was about an aver age—though we noticed the trot ting was well trained—though the lime was not the best on record. The baboon ascension and per forming on the gymnasium attach ed to the bail eon was the best we ever saw. The feats of the cow-boys were wonderful in horseman and mark man ship. The entertainment at. the new Op era House, under the management of Capt- Ilaselton, was good—Lit tle Coquette was the tide of the play composed m four acts. The house was crowded from gal leries to iloor. It is thought about TOO people were present. The en tertainment was a rare treat fully enjoyed by old and young. As it was our pleasure to spend the night with Col. Stone o*‘ the Chronicle, and his goed family, al ter supper, in company with our host and Col. Christy, also one of the proprietors _and editors of the Chronicle, we repared to the en tertainment, where we found amid I the thronged hall, reserved seats! awaiting our party. i Capt.

N v. 11. 1889 —Ex Pies. Cleveland’s visit to Wb ngtou last week to witness the Bayard-Cly mer wedding was at a time singularly eignificaut. He came back to Wash ington for the fir st time since the close of his administration with Bin party in the first fiawb of a splendid victory. Ills cal! upon Prcis.

Pres, Cleveland has grown uiugl: stouter, ia fact enormously and <1 is tres'ingly fat since last March. He must weigh over 350 lbs. tbs wife, on the other hand, is more winsome than ever. The haggard, drawn look of the society loadrr is gone. No tare rests on her. Another’man who takes a personal view of the result is Corporal Tanner, “ho was the head of tho Pension Bn reau fur a shorter time than any bn ;e u or cabinet officer oyer reigned be -ore.

He ears in the result the hand of Divine Power operat ng for the ov erthrow of th-? enemies of too elect. No more gigantic self sufficiency was ever seen. Among the department clerks and r-mH.ll officials r.i republican faith the belief that Pees.

Mi hor.e has neither ti e respect not the cotiideace-of the republican leaders apart from Quay and Dudley. Virginia is essentially a democratic state, and the only way to carry it for the republicans is to spend a nr.it of money and give every man in the state who will not work for his living a clerkship in the departments hero Ibis has been substantially the plan, and only the occasional restraining in tluesce of the civil service law has made victory for Mahone impossible.
