/ Hoyr N,Srr,cruREs.- can be no
doubt that the neighboring city OF Alezan-
dria i, preparing in earnest to do her fuil
share in the production of various manuiac-
lures now purchased by Virginia almost ex-
clusivey from the North and East. Though
tardv in this movement on the part OF her
capitalists. Virginia will welcome it. Few
cities IN the Union of the population OF Alex
andria are as wealthy, and no other one is
better situated for the profitable production
of miscellaneous manufactures, though,
strange to say up to this time, her capital
has been almost exclusively devoted other
wise Among the new manufacturing eh-
extensively, is the manufacture OF boots and
shoes alter the northern mode, tor which
Mr. McN eigh and his enterprislng s"n-in-
law, Mr.. Baldwin, are now rapidly prepar-
ing. A capital Of but $50 900 thus invested
may be made To produce goods annually to
ten times the amount al least; anu twenty
such factories at h"me, putronized by the
south, will put al end to southern depen-
dence for common boots and shoes upon the
abolition communities Of the North
Ii is worthy of remark that the goods made
at the Alexandria cotton factory though
heretofore comparatively unused ut home,
have always ranked aud sold with the best
in the New York market. 1t is high time
that the attention of the merchants of the
ncighbvrlng section Of Virg iuIa should he
turned to them. Competing as they do IN
price and quality in the New York market
| with any similar goods made in New Eng
land, they can be furnished to buyers at
home Mt prices at which they should instant
" command Virginia purchasers, indepen-
dent Of Nirginia's recent determination to
/ buy such goods manufactured south OF Ma
son and D,xun's line only, as far as possible.
Our hope is that the Spring Virginia demand
for the goods Of this factory will result III
the establishment OF two or three more cotton
factories in Alexandria ere the next winter
sets in: the available Alexandra capital Tor
such enterprises, when the one N existence
receives proper Virginia encouragement, be-
ing ample to that end. We trust that Wash

THE PROSPECT IN MEXICO.

Shortly after the PRONUNCIATION of the decree of
President Juarez, defnitively con6sc,tiGg the
Church property Of Mexico, and ordering its sale
for the bsne6. of the National Treasury, he
dispatched to this country certain Senior Lerdo,
commissioned to raise money here on the security
Of this conf'cated Church property. So far as
We have been informed, Senior Lerdo has made no
great progress IN the way Of raising money. His
proposals failed to attract any public attention and
We doubt if be has yet been able or will be able to
borrow the frst dollar. Recent advices from Mex
co would seem, however, to show that bis success
10 greatly counted upon by the Constitutional party
there and that it is upon the money be is expected
to borrow, and the American auxiliaries which he
10 to raise by means Of it, that the Liberals mAnly
rely for success in the campaign which must now
shersly recommt nee. 1t seems to be admitted, that
if this aid 10 not received, the Liberals
cannot hold out much longer. The Church
party have en- their aide tho wealth
and the military shill Of the country. 1t is
not the clergy alone who sustain them, but most

The Fresman's Journal comes to the defense of
Judge Roosevelt and his compeers with the plea
that the objection TO the increase Of their pay is
purely formal This may or not be the case; but
whether formal, Informal, or what not, is the taw
that the salary of Judges "shall not be increa'ed
'or diminished during their continuance IN Office"
This is provision in the Constitution Of the State;
and our point s that tho Judges are trying to evade
it, set it aside, and nuly it. This We think 10 in
decent, scandslous disgusting, and disgraceful, II
the Judges may set the law at usught, in order to
pocket few hundred dollars year apiece, why
.hould not private men cheat, rob- and steal a.
pleasurel
The Fycemans Journal cites the case Of Judge
Story, who, when 10 the Massachusetts Legsla-
ture, between 1906 and 1909, carried through an
act to increase the pay Of the Chief JuAtce aud OF
the other Judges. THAT Chief Justice says The
Fr,eman's Journal, twas Psrsons, and be accepted
"tbis increase Of the emOluments Of bis Off ;e,

is true; but the difference is that Chief Justice

ard act upon it. But what is the object of excdd-
ing all Republicans from the Boards Of RegisratiOn'
It is FRAUD. 1t is to carry out at the polls the
same system of cheating the Republicans which is
thus begun in the Supervisors Hall. Violence and
ruffianism are not sufficient to secure the predOm
nance of the Tammapy Democracy. Dishonest
registry lists, dishonest voting dishonest returns,
are needed; and this hot haste to allow in the
Registry Boards none but the most service sble
psrtisaps of Tammapy Hall demonstrates that
wholesale cheating is to be resorted to from first to
last The design is to neutrallze tho vote OF the
interior of the State by enormous frauds 10 the city
