BY the late Convention of the Min
ers' National Association this resolu-
ton was passed
Essolred That the Secretary be instruct
ed To draft an appeal, and publish it in the
Miners National Record and at the same
time request all labor papers friendly to the
miners to publish also, for the purpose OF
raising re rs to support the family OF MIR.
Parks, and those Of the other men in prs
on for the SAME cause, and urging upon all
working men, citizens of the State OF Penn
svlvania, the importance of signing the pc
titions now out, praying for the pardon of
those men, that they may be released from
the service Of Il term IN the pcnitCntiary,
imposed, as we believe, wrongtully on them !;
and he it further
Re&olrad, That the officers Of this organ
i2ation be hereby instructed to see the fam
lies do not suffer till returns are had to TIE
appeal 50 sent out.
The story of Mr.. Parks imprison-
mcnt is known to most OF the country,
and the circumstances under which he
is now in prison. 1t has been told in
all our labor journals, He and his
companions are in the penitentiary
simply because they endeavored to
make strike for an advance in wages
a success. This annoyed their en-
ployers, and under the conspiracy law
Of Pennsylvania there is a chance Of
convicting innocent men of crime when
once placed upon trial before men who
DO not understand trade disputes,
when no crime has been committed.
This is how 1t is i'll this case. No
crime was perpetrated, but they are
in prison and the families need help.
The members of our Union. and the
miners generally, have promised
help for that purpose. We send out
sheets with this call that those who
can assist may use them in getting
subscriptions and sending them on to

Letter from the West.

Correspondence of the Staunton VINDICAToRl
CENTREvILLE Iowa, May 16.
l arrived here on the 18th inst. This is
the county seat of Appamoosa CO., the
courthouse OF which is situated in beau
tiful park in the centre of square, and
ON the square around it all the business is
done. There are two hotels here, and
stores representing all branches Of mer-
camille business.
A sad suicide occurred here Friday. A
respectable young lady. evidently Insane,
after announcing her suicidal intention to
several persons, took dose Of strychnine..
After taking it she ran to d physician and
told him What she had done, and then fled
screaming across a field outside of the
town to a stable. The act caused much
alarm among the people, and the town
marshal went to. arrest her. He found
her lying still, but not dead. After tell
ing him that she did it all, she expired.
She left a nste to her father accusing him
Of driving her to her death, and asking to
be buried by the side Of her dead mother
This is a very late Spring in this vici-
nifty. Old farmers say they have never
seen one like it. One day is like summer,
and then several follow in which an over
coat may be worn with comfort. The
farmers are very busy planting corn for a
greatly enlarged crop. Every man that
has a team is putting in corn. The oat
crop is at stand still, and great deal of
wheat is frozen out. The winter wheat
will amount to but little. The fruit is in
a great measure killed.
The people in this district are wide
awake people in business, and very gen
teel and socable. The courthouse is used
in place Of a town hall, and some exhibit
tion is given there nearly every nigh t.
Centrevile has four or five churches.
and the Universalists hold services in the
courthouse. e. WEST.

A NEW REVIVAL IN NORFOLK.-A
correspondent of the Petersburg ''News''
writing from Norfolk, Va, on the oath
inst, speaking Of the religious services on
Sunday, says:
But the unusual and long to be remem-
bered occasion of the day was at 10 O'Clock
last night, when Rev. X. A. BurneH. an
Evangelist from Illinois, preached SER
mon to the le,od women Of the city. He
had stand erected in front Of row Of
the most notorious bad houses on Lower
Church street. and preached one hour to
a large audience, composed of women Of
the class named, and men who frequent
such places. His audience was very at
tentive, and during the delivery of one o.
his strong appeals, one woman WAS SO en-
tirely overcome with remorse that she
tainted Mr.. Burnell is here BY invitation
of the Dung Mems Christian Association.
He possesses Il remarkable degree of moral
courage, and ''beards the lion in his den. y
He proposes to preach next Sunday night
in the Variety Hall, to these same women
and the play actors of the establishment.
He may succeed in doing some good, but
will have an uphill business of it; he GER
tainly could have no worse subjects.

REV. J. A. LATANE DECL MES A
BIsHoPRIC.-~in the council of the Re-
formed Episcopal Church, in session at
Chicago, on Monday, the chairman of the
committee appointed to wait upon the
Rev. DIR. Latane, of Virginia, and inform
him of his election as missionary hishon
reported the duty had been DISCHARGED
and that Mr.. [4stane stated to- the commit
tee that he considered the matter PRAYER
fully and thoughtfully, and had ONE to
the conclusion that he could not accent
the position rendered to him, and desired
the committee to report that he did not
decline the appointment on persona1
grounds, but because he conceived that ne
could be Eaore useful as a presbyter tha,.
as q bishop in the South. This he stated
was his final decision, but the coaa> nittea
unwilling to accept it as such, agreed 10.
postpone reporting that the bishop elect
had declined to accepts the election until
they had another interview with him
The missionary district to which Mr.. La
tame was appointed included Virginia and
the other Southern States.

Tie Episcopal Council.

The Episcopal Council of Virginia as
sembled in Richmond on Wednesday and
remained in session through the week.
The annual council sermon was delivered
by Rev. Mr.. McKim, of. Alexandria.
Among the delegates in attendance was
Isaac Yokoyama, of Yeddo, Japan, who is
studying, at the Theological Seminary to
return to his own country as missionary.
Alexandria was selected as the place for
meeting next year. In his annual report
Bishop Johns says of the action of the
General Convention at New York, in Oc-
tober, that ''though all we may have
deemed desirable was not attained, enough
was accomplished in reference to matters
of great Importance to afford us sincere
satisfaction And he adds:
"In regard to Ritualism, I care little
for new legislation, believing, as I did, the
existing provision to be amply adequate
for all proper discipline. Yet, as the canon
is, in fact, only declaratory, I did not
hesitate to vote for its adoption. 1t has
from various quarters, been assailed by
criticism, and even by questionable levity,
all of which would, perhaps, have been
prevented by fuller information as to the
history of the proceedings.
The concesSi ON as to the use of the Bap-
tismal office, SO earnestly sought by many,
and favored by the well-Known wish Of
| this diocese, though not accorded to the
memorialists, received a consideration
which does not discourage the hope that
the day is coming when this occasion OF
complaint will be satisfactorily removed.
Meanwhile, as the faulted phrase is no in
novation but the language of the fOrmu-
lareS Of this Church from its organization
and of the ReformerS in England, and on
the continent, and it has been judicially
decided that it's import harmonizes, as l
verify believe it does, with the views Of
Baptism maintained by the school OF the
| ology TO which the memorialists belong,
[ can see no reason why they may not,
with good conscience, minister as their
fathers have done, trusting to the power
OF truth and the prevalence of prayer to
TO dispose their brethren to an adjustment
which may accommodate the petitioners
without disturbing the principles OF others.
| More than this ought not to be sought,
and short of this would not be sufficient.
The report of the committee on the
state OF the church, says:
| The number of those who during the
| past year have confessed Christ (1,0S9)
! constitute no inconsiderable accession to
our household of faith. The number of
| churches consecrated 81 to the worship of
| Almighty God is, when we consider the
prevailing financial depression, a healthy
| Indication Of progress.
| The number Of Postulants and candi-
dates for holy orders (33) is in excess Of any
previous experience: the number of COM
| municants, although not yet fully report
! ed, is nearly as large (11.3S5) as was report
ed last year, while the amount of contri--
| butioas (Sl27, $685. exceeds that of the year
| preceding ty $4,000. In the matter of
| clerical support and in the provision of
| rectories there has been marked i'm
J. proyement.

& FEMALE COLLEGES
Sta EMTON

! Next week and the week after Stat1nton
wi /. full of visitors from all the South
err, ST ties to witness the annual exercises
of tlie female colleges, which take place in
the following order: Virginia Female In
stituit (Episcopal), June LIST, I'd and Sd,

liver the annual address; Staunton Fe-
male Institute (Lutheran), June 9Th. ad-

and Wesleyan Female Institute (Metho-
dist), June Nth, 18th, 10th and 18th, with

N. Y. and Hon. r. @. Mills of Texas. In
these commencement exercises nearly 900
pupils, about two-thirds Of the number
being from States Sonth and West Of Vir-
ginia, will take part.
1t is with unmixed pleasure that the
principals of these institutions of learning
can look back on the past session-the ex-
eellent discipline that has prevailed, the
almost unexampled good health with which
the inmates have been blessed, and the
steady advancement that has character
lied all the departments of education, are
subjects Of congratulation to each one.
Indeed, the unparalleled success of our ill.,
stitutions and their high reputation abroad
should be, and is matter of State pride,
and not only local self congratulation.
While each Of them has a speciality in the
way Of UNCONVENTIONAL favor, they have.
by the broad views OF their Principals,
long since grown up to higher ground
than that, and arerecognized throughout
the whole South as the places to educate
its daughters irrespective Of creeds.

A REMEMBRANCE OF SCARCE
MONEY.

Just as in the late cold snap it was some-
thing of comfort to look back twenty
years and see that it was just as cold then
and how long it lasted, SO it is comforting
and not uninstructive now to look back at
the great money snap of 1887 and see from
it how likely we are to be tighter pinched
before the panic Of 1873 let's go it's hold.
The causes Of both panics were pretty
much the same-we had spread ourselves
out too thin. We tried to butter too big a
piece of bread with too small piece of but
ter. Before both panics paper money was
profusely plentiful, trading and land buy
ing were overdone, and credit was strained
to it's uttermost to do it. Before 1873
railroad building got to be something like
card playing; immense lines were built,
not for the necessities Of the people, but to
hold in check or destroy other great lines:
lands along the building OF proposed lines
were given fictitious values, and men were
buying hundreds Of acres on speculation
who couldn't make bona tide purchase of
a half dozen. Before 1887 the Erie Canal
was finished, and speculation ran wild in
lands along its line and on the Lakes and
in the W est. In four years the sales OF
Government lands jumped from four mil
lion dollars year to twenty-five millions.
Canal stocks, State bonds, &C.. were sold
in profusion in Europe Gust as they have
been now to raise money to meet the ode
mands" of business; the q. S. bank in two
years doubled it's loans, and the other
banks doubled their scapital" All the
business of the country began to be done
on paper. Then came the crash! Some
big man that owed the bank some money
the bank was obliged to have, couldn't
pay, and the bank broke, and other banks
followed, just as in 1873 a single railroad
owed a banking house and couldn't pay,
and the banking house tumbled and was
followed by scores of Others In 1887 they
got sort of footing again BET IRE 1899,
when they all went down together. And
then came time of suffering which has
not been repeated in 1878 only because OF
the stability Of our National Bank cur
rency 1t was seven years, that is to say
in 1874, before the country was prosperous
again. During the seven years of depres-
sion then, the gold was boarded, just as
National Bank notes are now, and it was
not until the people commenced letting it
60 that prosperity was restored. just as it
will be now, when the people stop hoard
ing the currency. Prosperity will come
when confidence comes, but that will be
sooner than seven years this time. The
people are more enlightened, the tele-
graph and railroad facilities of trade are
greater, the change in the National Gov
eminent shortly to be made will give more
confidence, aud altogether the outlook is
encouraging. There will not, however, be
any sudden or instantaneous change.
Prosperity does not come in night.

FURLoUGHING LUNATICS.-We find

FURLoUGHING LUNATICs.-We find
the following in the proceedings of the
National Association eff Superintendent
of Lunatic Asylums, at Auburn. N. Y:
DR.. Baldwin, of Virginia. rose to a
question of privilege, and wished to ex-
plain more fully his views on the import
ant matter of furloughing patients. His
asylum was in rural district, and patients
were not subject to the excitements
and temptations of city life. The result
generally in his experience has been bene
fetal, and he could not see any reason why
it would reflect more unfavorably on the
management of an asylum, if a patient
should commit crime with furlough
ticket in his pocket, than if he had been
discharged as fully cured.
After hearing DR.. Baldwin, the ques-
tons raised by DR.. Barstow were laid on
the table, having been quite thoroughly
discussed.
