KISSING A MISDEMEANOR.
Virginia Legislature Now Makes
It Illegal.
Richmond, Va., December 2.—Kiss
ing will be made a misdemeanor in
Virginia, punishable with a fine, if a
bill offered in the house of delegates
today, becomes a law. The unique
measure of which Ur. R. B. Ware, the
member from Amherst, who is a phy
sician ol splendid reputation, is the
patron, is designed to prevent promis
cuous kissing, but it might easily be
constructed to stand as a barrier be
tween husband and wife, or even lover
and sweetnearl.
Dr. Ware offered the bill in perfect
ly good faith and as a health measurer,
but it will be treated lightly, and prom
ises to be the subject of as much jest
and ridicule as was the anti-flirting
bill introduced in the senate a session
or two ago by Senator Barksdale, who
came to be known as “Cupid.”
In order to enjoy the right to kiss
one must prove by his family physi
cian that he nas no contagious or in
fectious disease. The interesting in
quiry Is, who will inform on the Kiss
er. It is not thought tor a moment
that any chivalrous Virginian will
take the liberty of bestowing a kiss
where there is real objection, or in
the presence of one who would give
away Ine secret. Hence, the law would
be inoperative, if enacted.
PILOT WAR IS OVER.

11 is the hope of the men who have
this movement in hand that it may
velop such unanimity in favor of wip
ing out the linos of-factiaiial difference
as will bring about the adoption of a
national platform upon which all fac
tions can agree ad tne nomination of
a candidate who will draw to himseL
llie support, not ouly of ail men claim
ing to be democrats, but of that large
element of independent voters whose
siippoil is esscrilial to success.
B. is a noticeable fact that the letter
ol Mr. Cleveland "which appeared re
coin ly in the New York World, gave
rise to less criticism than any previ
ous utterance of the ex-president since
lie went out of office. Whether this
is due lo a less aggressive tone on u,a
pari of Mr. Cleveland or to the general
desire on the part of democrats tn
find a common meeting ground, it may
be a little difficult to determine, but it
is a significant fact that the last
Cleveland utterance was better receiv
ed than others from the same source.,
J’his has had tne effect of giving th©
promoters of this new harmony move
ment real hopes of success. ToSa
Aid of Southern Leaders Desired.
Wnile this movement starts in the
ctst, it is the hope of the men hack
of iL to secure the indorsement and
co-operation of those southern demo
crats who are really influential in the
councils of their party. To that end
they will endeavor to avoid the mis
take of tying to those nietr who were
recognized as the special followers of
Mr. Cleveland in the hght which was
