FRIDAY. JULY 5.
CAPT. WATERS DISMISSED.
('apt. J. H. Waters has been dismiss- j
ed from the position he has so long and
ably held as chief of police of this city. I
The causeß which led up to this action
on the part of the city council will
never be fully explained, if any real
causes existed. The action of our city
council sometimes puts us in mind of
a justice of the peace who was on one
occasion seen kicking a predatory sow,
just, as he said, to let it know there
was an officer around. Whenever times
grow dull with the city council, they
take occasion to let somebody know
there is a city council around. This
seems to be one of the occasions.
Seeing that this faithful and tried
officer had been subjected to the guil
lotine we began to enquire as to the
whys and wherefores, and several
causes were assigned. The first was
that he was 73 years of age. So it was
the old, old story, of the old horse be
ing sent to the bone yard. Most peo
ple were inclined to doubt the age
theory, or they say oar vigilant coun
cil would have begun on the Captain
t everal years ago, when he was at the
age of three score years and ten. The
second story we heard was that the
Captain's habits were so regular that
his subordinates knew just when he
was coming round, and of course when
he got there they were doing their
whole duty, no matter how little of it
they might have been doing just before.
This was a serious fault and ought we
admit to lose him his official head. No
man In Staunton can' have regular
habits and enjoy respect, and a chief
of police who cannot watch his subor
dinates as well as all the other people
in Staunton who.need watching is not
fit for the place. As strange as it may
seem the fact that < 'apt. Waters did
not watch his subordinates sufficiently
close, was assigned as a serious charge
against him and helped to displace
him, if reports be true. No
complaint, so far as we have
heard, has been laid against those
subordinates who, we must infer from
this, needed watching. Of the two
we are certain which most people
would have first discharged,lf the alle
gation be true.
Again we were told that Capt. Wa
ters is too frail to grapple with a thief.
When, pray, did that duty fall on our
policemen, or if it be a part of their
duty, when was it performed ? Have
any thieves been grappled with here
of late by our stalwart policemen I
Who grappled with the thief who
smashed 1). L. Switzer's plate glass
window and raked out diamonds till
he got tired? Who grappled with the
safe blowers who shook the town with
dynamite when they robbed the Staun
ton Milling Company some years ago?
Grappling with thieves is by no means
the duty of a policeman, so that charge
ought to have no weight. Of course
the work of looking up dogs for taxa
tion, listening for leaks in water
pipes and walking about in private
houses for that purpose, attending the
theater, the circus, watching a game
of pool or billiards, warming by the
bar room stove in winter, must be
carefully performed, and bowing to
the council, pulling this or that politi
cal string, are things which Capt.
Waters may not have performed to the
entire satisfaction of the city council,
hence his decapitation.
Capt. .Waters has lost his youth, he
has more probably lost his political
influence, he has in all probability not
bowed low enough when some council
man passed by, he is not in the click
or the ring, he was in somebodys way
and he had to get out or be kicked
out. He did not get out so he was
kicked out.
He has the good fortune, however,
of possessing the respect of a large
number of people in the city of Staun
ton, he has the heritage of a good
name—which is better than great
riches, but most of those on whose
friendship he could rely, who were his
companions in times which tried men's
eouis, have been laid to rest, a new set
has the reins and some of them care no
more for faithful services, or devotion
to duty, than they care for the worm
beneath their feet. Capt. Waters may
solace his remaining years with the
consciousness that he has faithfully
performed bis official duties so much
so that his fellow citizens are saying,
"Well done thou good and faithful
servant." It will be lucky for some of
those who dug his official grave if the
same can ever be said of them.
yEMARKABLE OVERSIGHT,
ilex. F. Robertson and Capt.
. Opie are the two gentlemen !
Tar have announced themselves j
idat.es for the Senate from this
county. This may complete the list.
but it is still some time beiore the day
tno more names can be added,
irds of both gentlemen are to be
in the columns of the Sneer a
We cannot refrain from calling
.ion to one very marked feature
in both, and that is, that reference is
nowhere made to the Democratic
party, save and except that Mr. Rob
ertson addresses his announcement "To
the Democrats of the county of Au
gusta and the city of Staunton. 1 '
Capt. Opie "To my Fellow Citizens,"
but neither offers to submit his claim
to the action of the Democratic party .
This may have been an oversight in
both gentlemen, and we hope it was. J
It if not too late to correct the errorl
if it wu made thoughtlessly.
■lon. Edward Echols has wltb
from the gubernatorial raca.
This was of course expected and ere-
I no surprise. The only surprise
:h has been created was the action
me portions of the county toward
faithful, able, unvarying Demo,
, who has always been found in the
t place when the interests of our
people have been involved, who has
contributed of his time and means to- j
ward Democratic success and good
government whenever called upon.
There are persons who attended the
mass meeting on May -7 who we sup-1
pose imagined they made somebody
believe they were friendly to Mr.
Echols, but whose kiss was the kiss of j
Judas; and whose actions ought to
have been exposed that day, because
it was as apparent then as now, that j
they were for him with their mouths
only. The mask should have been
■from the masqueraders at that
and the hollowness of their devo
exposed, let the consequences
been what they may. When the
time honored nsage of a candidate for
so high a position, was sought by Mr.
( is'friends, of allowing him to
Ikose assistants who would help
Lgbt the battle at Norfolk, the
ege was denied him, and persons
loubtless would have rejoiced at
sfeat, ware forced upon him as
ites on the plea that to select del
•tes otherwise would be undemo
cratic. In such cases as this party
policy disappears and loyalty to the
candidate is the ruling power. If Mr.
I Is had a battle to fight he certaiu
s the man to choose his lieuten-
If he could be entrusted with
iffiee of governor he certainly
be entrusted with the selection
j delegates from this city and
;y. But this right was, as we say,
id him. Not out of loyalty to him
c party, but out of direct hostili
ty to his candidacy. No other motive
could have inspired the action, and
the object has not and never can be
concealed. This we say is the surprise
of the campaign and causes many real
friends of Mr. Echols deep and lasting
mortification, because it passed unre-
WHEN HE BECOMES GOVERNOR.
Mr. J. Hampton Hoge, who is about
to start on the long and tortuous jour
ney to the gubernatorial mansion, has
been reminded often of a journey he
once started upon as a U. S. Consul,
and before he got his foot off the soil
of the United States he was recalled
by a certain G rover Cleveland. Some
friends of the erstwhile Consul say that
it is mean and low bred to remind Mr.
Hoge of the many, many things that
transpired in that short experience,
others say that but for the seemingly
unpropitious trip he made to Califor
nia he would still be groveling in the
mire of Democracy, and contend that
Mr. Hoge treasures every happening
of those days as a miser treasures his
gold. He is said to have hanging
somewhere either 011 the walls of his
Kor his mind, pictures of various
of public resort on the Pacific
slope. He no doubt has the
original beer glasses and wine
glasses, which like tne flowing
bowl, entered into the merry
making of that festive occasion. He
has preserved also the original tele
gram which caused him to see the light
of the Republican heaven, signed
"Grover Cleveland." These will look
■11 in the mansion in Richmond, as
points with pride to their usefulness,
their value, and how they helped make
a man and a governor of him, when
he becomes governor. Yes, when he
becomes governor. |
Our State Convention is wrestling
with the suffrage question. This is
the knotty question, the question
which is all absorbing. There is one
thing that has been fully demonstrat
ed and that is, that there is no ani
mosity toward the negro as such, but
there is a determination to make igno
rance and vice a bar to the exercise of
this high privilege. It is certain that
an uneducated person will have diffi
culty in voting though he may try,
but it is also certain that persoDs who
pay uo taxes will be excluded—these
cannot get into the booths. We are
glad the prejudice against the negro
which our Northern friends have so
persistently declared was the object Of
the convention, has not materialized.
This feeling we know did not inspire
the con\ ention, It was never held for
the purpose of getting rid of the negro,
and now that such is apparent we
hope the Lodges and the Crumpackers
may find time for some other than
force bills, and depriving the State of
her proper representation, though they
will die hard, they realizing that to
damn the south, is the safest guy to
their political masts.
A question has arisen as to what our
city council means by holding a cau
cus. The council is supposed to be
composed entirely of Democrats. If
this be so then a caucus is uncalled
for, aud must be held simply to do be
hind closed doors what it does not feel
desirous of doing in the full light
of day. This is an interesting question
and any one may explain through our
columns why a body composed entire
ly of one political faith holds a caucus.
We confess we do not know.
Col. We A. Anderson, of Rock
bridge, has announced his candidacy
for the office of Attorney-General. It
is always a pleasure to us to even con
template voting for Col. Anderson
for office. Unfortunately Col. Anderson
comes from the Valley of Virginia, a
section not known to other parts of the
State as having political rights, and
whose own citizens have lost all ambi
tion to see their sectioD honored. If
Col. Anderson Is a native of Rock
bridge it will be remarkable if he should
be able to carry his own county as so
