IT is painfully true that the people of Virginia
are not in as prosperous condition as is desira-
member the fiery ordeal through which they
have passed.-Whiq.
1t is also painfully true that the people
of Virginia have not been in prosperous
condition since the year 1900, and that
the Fiery ordeal through which they
have passed. dates back many years
previous to the late rebellion. All writers
and orators, in attempting to represent the
political and financial condition Of Virgin
la, refer to 1861 as the beginning of all her
troubles and shortcomings. Nothing can
be farther from the truth than all such
representations. The late rebellion was
only one great link in the chain of Vir-
ginia's past and present troubles. Great
men make great states, and the misfortune
OF the old commonwealth, since Washing.
ton and Jefferson's day and generation, has
been the lack of men equal to the task Of
directing the affairs of state to a success
full issue. Virginia commenced well who
hindered the work of progress and pros
perity? If we so back to 1900, we find
Virginia first in the line of states, as W ill be
seen by the following figures: Massachu-
sets, population, 422,s45; New York,
$50, 203; Pennsylvania. COZ ,365; Virginia,
$50, l49. Two hundred and ninety-nine
thousand. nine hundred and forty-six more
than the state Of New York. Her adyan-
tages in large bays and rivers, rich and ex-
tended domain, minerals and saIubrious
climate, were in about the same ratio of
superiority, which proves to certainty
that her public men have
not been equal to the great work
placed in their hands by confiding pea
pie. In other words, her leaders, past and
present, were, and are, too conservative,
having but one idea to govern all their
actions, and that was opposition to radical
reforms and radical improvements.
Devoting soul, body, energy and intellect,
to one object. suppression Of Radicalism,
they have suffered ten states to excel the
grand Old Dominion in population, wealth,
education, aud general prosperity.
Yes sit spainfully true that the people of
Virginia are not in as prosperous a condition
as is desirable, nor is this TO be wondered
at when we remember the fiery ordealu OF
seventy years Of Conservative rule, ~
Conservatism ever has been, and is to-
day. Viginia's greatest curse. 1t has bank

4 IT seems to be settled that no man can
secure a irst-class appointment to national
official station unless he has served term
in one or other branch Of Congress, or been
the Governor of state. This class of ex-
officials are always successful in their aspi-
ration for Presidential favors. The Pfesi-
dent is inclined to favor these people above
all others, and occasionally recognizes some
of them after their constituents have repu-
dated them. But this has been the case

THE National Agricultural Congress,
recently in session at Indianapolis, was dis
tinguished for the wise things It did and
for the unwise things it refused to do.
Among other things the Congress resolved
that the consolidation of parallel lines of
railways is contrary to public policy. and
should be prohibited by law /; that as ex-
perience demonstrated that competition
cannot be reliedupon to keep down railway
rates to just basis, therefore it becomes
the duty Of the state to fix reasonable
rates affording only fair remuneration to the
capital employed; ). that when a railway
company owns a line in two or more states
it is the right and duty of the government to
regulate rates Of freight and fare upon such
line under the constitutional power to regu.
late commerce among the several states !;
and that the creation of fictitious stocks by
railways calls for restraining legislation. 1t
denounced the practice of executive, judi
cial and legislative officers accepting fayors
from transportation companies. 1t asked
lnyestig alton into the practicablllty OF
cheapening transportation through the in
auguration of a system of narTow-gauge
railways, and discussed the question Of the
feasibility Of tram railways on common
highways. Special attention was also
called to the subject Of increased facilities
in the way Of water communication, refer-
ring particularly to the James river and
Ohio canal route. The refusal Of the con-
vention to NEEDLE with. the question Of free
trade was wise. althoughit will be distaste-
full to the leaders Of the Democracy, and
| will call forth unfavorable comments from
Democratic journals. The convention was
also equally discreet in refusing to express
any opinion on the subject Of currency and
the eight-hour law. a. 80 4se%te Z

mtnBle, 1HulSies IHiligitsas-f ..I.1I.#s
This, and great deal more of the same
delectable sort, is crowded into the col
umns of one of our city contemporaries
this morning, until ones soul is SO deeply
narrowed with dismay, despair, and soul
puncturing grief, that he has hardly power
to lift his spirits, be they black, white, red
or gray, into any other state than that of
the blankest horror imaginable. And all
this is to come in like deluge, if the great
and good Conservative party Of Virginia
is whipt in the November election
"Motly is the year, or will be forever
after that, in the state in which eloquence
has eliminated so high, and patriotism
worked out such grand results in the past
Haven't we had quite enough Of this sub
lime twaddle over the past of Virginia !?
Is there to beno end of this inordinate har-
rangue oyer her past glory, greatness, and
power? VIII no one speak for the lining
present
Under just such political elements as
now seek to control the destiny of the
state, Virginia has gone back from the
very front to almost the rear rank of states
in the Union. Is this fact anything to
boast of, in and Of itself? We confess
that we have not the mental acutcncss to
see where the magnificent boast comes in.
Had Virginia maintained her proud pre-
eminence among the great American states,
as they first launched out in the grand ca.
reer before them, and not fallen back year
after year in the race Of material prosperity
and greatness, this incessant twaddle about
her superior eloquence, heroism, states
manship, and all that sort Of thing, might
not be so entirely offensive as it now is.
But to us it sounds like the braggartism
and bombast Of boys at school.
What Virginia wants to-day wants al
this very hours present race of great
men; those who can rise up in the gran.
deur and magnitude Of their own character,
and achieve something new for the state in
the day and generation in which we live,
Men who NOPE in spiritless melancholy
over the past-who see nothing but the re.
ceding glory of a race of intellectual giants
that is fast dying out-will soon dwarf
themselves into pigmies, in spite of all
the splendid qualities they may inherit
from over-boasted ancestry.
Appeal TO the dauntless spirit Of the
present--to the chiyalry of the hour-to
the sons and daughters of Virginia whose
flashing feet are pressing the living corri-
dorsif you would achieve anything grand
and noble in your own day and generation.
The past is gone the future will not stay;
the present is here, necessarily pressing its
demands upon us and if we would be any.
thing but moping owls, we must cease te
boot our ancestral notes over the waste
and ruin Of Virginia.
