TO the shade. Political considerations
are subjected to the vital subject of
breadstuffs. After all, the.physical con-
stitution is more important than the
political. Men often owe to nature the
blessings which they attribute to sys-
tenn of government. Where harvests
are plentiful, wages good and material
prosperity prevails, men can tolerate al
most any form of authority. But when
the earth fails to yield her increase,
even military rulers cease to be objects
of interest. Let us hope that refresh
ing rains will yet revivify the parched
vegetation, and that kindlier impulses
on the part of the government will per-
nit some political vegetation to germi-
nate and sprout in Virginia, if only to
give picturesque variety to ..the grim
and solitary structure of the Candy con-
stitution.

commo n country?-for Gear they may
not keep faith.
Patience, good people; this cannot be.
There Is too m UGH at stake In the well
fare and prosperity, and future peace Of
the country, to suffer such political
blunder as this to be perpetrated. Why
the delay? we cannot answer, except
through some anticipated political adj
vantage that is sought to be gained in
the approaching State elections. But
let us be quiet and console ourselves
We have done good work, and we did
it sensibly, and those opposed to it will
find it hard to undo it. Let us be pa.

THE SILENCE ABOUT THE TEST
OATH.

The Cincinnati Enquirer has an ar
ticle on the test oath question in Virgil
mia, in which it is suggested that the
object of keeping silence as to the ulti-
mate decision OF the question, and hold
ing the affair in allegiance for the pres
emit, is "a mere matter of policy" 1t
adds: ITO avow it now, it is we'll
enough understood by the plotters, would
have disastrous effect upon the pros
pect of Radicalism in the Ohio and
Pennsylvania elections; for fair-minded
people of oil parties are utterly DISCUS
ted with the fraud proposed. But if, by
concealing their intention to perpetrate
it, the Radicals can succeed in carrying
the two great States named, they will,
of course, following their usual tactics,
claim that result as an endorsement of
their plan and proceed to its consum-
nation without further delay"

AN ENGLISH COLONY FOR
KANSAS.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 26.-The National
Land Company completed sale to-day,
for the Kansas Pacific Railroad Compa-
ny, Of $4,000 acres of land to the rep
resentatives of an English c. lony of
1900 families. tits mostly rolling pra-
rie land and is in one body, lying from
four to twenty miles from the line of the
road northwest of Junction City. The
average price paid wa- about So rs per
acre. Eighteen members of the colony
have already arrived and commenced
the improvement of The lands.
The reason why emisrants will 30
out to that wild,o of the way country
and pay So rs per acre for land in pref
erence to coming to Virginia where they
can get it for less money and be within
few hours Of the great markets of
this Continent Is. that those who are
interested in the sale of the Western
lands Use printers ink and all other
means to bring the lands into notice
and Into market, while our people are
afraid to go to such expense. The
twelve hundred families represented in
the above paragraph will be worth more
to the State of Kansas in a few years
than the whole money value of the
$4,000 acres Of land. There is the sec
ret of the wealth and great power of
the Western States There is no telling
the virtue of little energy assisted by
little printers ink in building up an
empire.
