THE National Agricultural Congress,
recently in session at Indianapolis, was dis
tingushed for the wise things it did and
for the unwlse 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 relied upon to keep down railway
rates to just basis, therefore it becomes
the duty Of the state to fix reasonable
rates aiIording only fair remuneration to the
capital employed; that when railway
company owns 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 favors
from transportation companies. 1t asked
investigation INTO the practlcablllty OF
cheapening transportation through the in
auguration Of system of narrow-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, although it 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. ~ @.-

THE human tide setting in from all
countries to our shores has long called for
some national legislation. and President
Grant invited the attention of Congress to
this subject in his last annual message.
The result Of his recommendation has
been the appointment of board of COM
missioners by the Secretary of the Treasu-
ry to examine into the present workings of
the system. This board has already en-
tered upon its duties, and prepared a re-
port on existing abuses and their remedies,
which will be submitted next session. The
vast Importance of protecting the emf
grants. who land here at the average rate
of twenty thousand during the summer
months, must be so obvious to all that we
hope Congress will lose no time in giving
the matter its earliest possible considera-
ton.

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. AL writers
and orators, in attempting to represent the
political and financial condition of Virgin
ia, 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-

Virginia first in the line of states, as W ill be

thousand, nine hundred and forty-six more
than the state of New York. Her advan.
tages in large bays and rivers, rich and ex-
tended domain, minerals and salubrious
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 conliding peo-
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

IT seems to be settled that no man can
secure first-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 fayors. The Presi-
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
for several years and is not alone peculiar
to General Grants administration.
