Since the re-assembling of Congress moth
ing Of importance has been done. The ques-
ton of negro suffrage in the District of Co
lumbia seems to engross the whole OF the
time. The radicals favor this their pet scheme
as the entering wedge for further humiliation
to the South. We look for nothing else than
its passage unless there is a great change in
the sentiments of members.
While this is the case it is refreshing to
sec that, occasionally, some one has the man
Illness to express his opposition to the radical
proposition boldly, and call things by their
right names Mr. Boyle of Pennsylvania
denounced the negro suffrage bill, not only on
local grounds but on principle. He said,
'This is white mans Government This
bill inaugurates the first act in the political
drama to eliminate in the equality Of the
races" This is the truth Mr.. Boyle and
coming generations will thank you for its
manly assertion.
There is little probability OF the Southern
members being speedily admitted. The COM
mittee on Reconstruction have declined to
send a subcommittee thro' the South to gain
information and propose to send for persons
and papers. 1t is not likely the persons and
papers they will send for will facilitate re
construction, and we had as we'll dismiss the
hope for the admission of our representatives,
until radicalism ceases to rule Congress.

FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 10, 1896.

In looking over one of our Maryland ex-
changes we notice the sale of number of
tracts of,land, at prices varying between 800
and $3.50. per acre. The highest price paid
was for farm with mill-site and mill on it,
besides other improvements, and the lowest
for farm with ordinary improvements
These farms are doubtless good, but where,
in Maryland cr elsewhere, can be found bet
ter land than the Valley of Virginia can
boast of? Certainly these tracts are not bet
ter, yet our Valley lands are generally sold
for song in comparison with these prices
There must be reason for Maryland lands
demanding so much better prices than those Of
our Valley, other than the mere productive
value of the soil. They are situated where
access to ready market is easy, and this is
the whole secret. The Valley farms capti-
vate the eye of every one who comes to in
spect them for the purpose Of investing in
that kind of property, but the great objection
we have heard urged is they are too far from
market. How long will this be an objection !!
A wealthy company are ready and anxious
to construct railway throughout the entire
length of the Valley, from Harper's Ferry to
Salem. if the Legislature Of Virginia will only
grant the right of way, and yet, when Sec
ton, whose productiveness, merely expert
mented in, is acknowledged as superior, and
whose general resources are known to be rich
and abundant, can be opened up with such
ease, and without cost to the State or inhab-
itants of that section, we hear not word ON
the subject from any member of the Legisla-
ture. Where are the Representatives from
the Valley? Why don't they move in this
matter It is a subject of the first Importance
to the people of this section, and, taken in con-
nection with the development Of the resources
Of Virginia, by opening up the richest por-
ton of the cold Dominion" is of the first i'm
portance to the whole State. Shall the agi-
tation of subjects of minor Importance con-
sumo the time Of the Legislature to the en-
tire exclusion of even a word on subject of
80 much import, as the Valley Railroad p
We believe with Richmond cotemporary, if
charter for Valley Railroad be asked for
there can be no good reason given for refu-
sing to grant it. 1t is surely worth the
trouble of asking for, and we advise our Sen
ators and Representatives that their constit-
uents are anxiously looking to them to de-
mand it. If the Valley Railroad is not a
reality in few years it will be owing to a
delinquency in our Representatives, unless
they can show that they have done all they
could to secure it and have failed. Are they
willing to assume this responsibility and
longer delay in taking the proper steps to OBJ
tain the authority to construct work Of such
vital importance to their section? For their
own reputation, and for the welfare Of QUIZ
section and State, we trust not.

The Beginning AND THE END.-The first
battle of the war, Manassas, was fought on
the land of Mr.. Andrew McLane, in the
county Of Fairfax, Va. and the virtual ter
mination of the struggle took place in the
same gentleman house in the county of APP
punattox, where the terms of surrender we're
formally drawn up and ratified by Generals
Lee and Grant.

There is no subject which should claim
more Of the attention of our people, at pres
ent, than that of education. Justnow, when
we are emerging from the educational chaos
of the past four years, we should devote our
attention, particularly, to the building up of
system of education, from which the poorest
man in the land can derive the benefit of hav-
ing his children thoroughly educated. The
various Colleges Of our State are arising equal
to the occasion, and are striving to increase
their facilities for imparting knowledge
This is exceedingly praiseworthy and desira-
BILE, but Universities and Colleges afford their
excellent facilities for acquiring a thorough
and finished education to those only who are
well off in worldly means. They do not ad-
vantage poor young men in the same way,
but to limited extent. What Virginia needs
most, at the present day, is the education Of
her masses. AS laborers educated men will
stand above their fellows. AS mechanics,
the advantages of good education have been
thoroughly tested, and are acknowledged to
place the educated man far in advance of the
uneducated who labor at his side. Besides
this, many Of the first men Of every age have
risen from the mass, by exerting themselves
to obtain an education. If the advantage of
a thorough education were afforded to all the
number of our great men would be increased
and the standard Of their greatness elevated.
Those who have surmouated all difficulties
and educated themselves, and arc known as
self-rnade men, have shown themselves as the
compeers of those who have had the very best
advantages. How many, equally gifted,
have, by hlndcring circumstances, been pre-
vented from leaving their impress upon their
age, and have fritted away their lives in a
sphere not suited to their mental capacity
Then how necessary is itnow, when the great
est successes must be achieved by mental su-
periority, that the advantages of good edrl-
cation should be afforded, at a very moder-
ate cost, to the poorest in the land Let us
have an educational system, not one which
promises something and affords nothing, but
real practical system Of general education
headed by educated and practical men, mo-
mere theorists, which will afford to all thu
advantage of being thoroughly educated anc
our beloved State will take prouder posi-
ton than ever in the intellectual arena. Tb,
poor, as well as the rich, must be educa
ted The times, the interest and well being
of society," alike demand it. The Legisla
ture would do we'll to institute thorough
system. Are we asking too much at thei
hands to take this matter into consideration
and push it with sigor to successful con
summation?
