| If there Is one sign more promising for
the future of Virginia than all others. it is a
spirit OF independence that is infusing itself
| into the ssanhaod of the State. The men OF
VIRGINIA are beginning to think for them
selves and act for themselves. and every day
sees them farther and farther removed from
the influence OF the one man FoWeF. Here
tofSre they have been content to follow
bladIy in the pathway marked out for them
by party leaders, but they are thrusting
aside the badges OF their servtude now, and
asking for the reasons OF the case. Not only
are they beginning SO think Independently
but are boldly expressing their convictions,
and do not hesitate, il need be, to CONFLICT
with those, whose will and word have here
tofore been law. Each day fresh evidences
of this new coHdition of affairs become more
manifest, and the gco9 effects of it are being
demonstrated, in an earnest inquiry among
the people for the naked facts, Active
thought is being stimulated, reasons weight
ed, and conclusions reached by Investigation,
coupled with an honest purpose to arrive att
the truth. The men OF Virginia are at length
realizing that they have god given faculties OF
OF their own whereby the right nay be dis
cerled, and that they are no longer depend
enc upon self-appointed leaders to show
them where their duty lies. 1t will be
grand day for the old Commonwealth when
the full fruit Of this promise is ripe for the
harvest. That day will date the death of
caucus dictation, the end Of the ring rule,
and a nsH era in the history OF Virginia 5 pro.

| and that the injury of both capital and Ia
| Dor, and the harm of community, State and
country.
This mob spirit should be vigorously and
summarily suppressed: at whatever cost
All classes of citizens, whatever their pur-
suits, their interests, or associations should
be made to understand that this is a coun-
try of law and order, and that the supre-
macy of law, is the rule and not eX-
ception. Capital demands it, society de.
mands it, individual rights demand it.
and honor and courage demand it. With.
out the authority of law the capital now
there will leave, where it can that which
may be looking in that direction to aid in
the development of the wonderful material
wealth which exists in such great abun-
dance, will seek other localities, and instead
of progress and prosperity, neglect, decay,
and ruin will be the fruits.
We are the friends OF the daborng
classes, and have always upheld their rights
and interests, under the laws. 1t is, in
deed, in behalf of the genuine health and
prosperity of their interests, that we would
have the law to rule. No class, no pursuit,
no industry can prosper without the re-
straints and conserving influences of law,
and the mutual interests of capital and la
Dor require its observance and enforcement.
The facts we republish, as furnished by
the State Department show there is no Just
grounds of complaint by the laboring class
Of this country, and we are sure if the re-
lations and sympathy that should exist be-
tween capital and labor prevailed. the in
terests Of both would be subserved, society
benefited, and the whole country advanced
in its career of greatness.

THE ADVANCE IN WHEAT.

Last Monday there was quite an ad-
vance in the price of wheat. In New
York the price advanced from three to
FIVE cents bushel. No. 2, red, SELLING
at $1.2O, and No. 2, spring, bringing
Sill. In Milwaukee, the quotations
showed rise of q cents. In Chicago
the markets were more active than for
long time before. Urfavorable reports
from Europe and the wet weather pre-
vailing in the western states are assigned
as the cause. The Russian wheat crop
is failure, and the Nihilistic troubles are
with the products. The late
heavy storms in Minnesota have damar-
ed the crops to a great extent. The
wind leveling thousands of acres and the
hail literally threshing the growing grain.
The damage is placed at 500, 900. and
this is said to be very moderate esti-
mate. Heavy storms prevailed in the
southern and western part of this state
severely iniuring the crops. South of
Madison the hail stones were so larg, as
to kill yearhng pigs, hens and turkeys.
and to strip the apple trees of their bark.
Nebraska and Dakota also suffered from
the storms. These facts are what gave
wheat the upward tendency. Favorable
reports are, however, received from Hi.
nois. In some instances the yield is rs
high as 43 bushels to the acre. Austria
has a heavy growth of straw but it is
feared the moist weather prevailing will
prevent harvesting.

Lamar suggests to the newspapers, the
quarrel between Conkling and Blaine in
the house, when both were members in
1896. Conkling's language on that &C
casion was very similar to the language
used by him on the late occasion. Blaine
gave him about rs good rs he sent and
the two have never been friendly since.
A fight between ConkIing and Blaine
would be looked upon by the good people
of the country, with about the same
Indifference as to result as the contest
between the woman and the bear was
looked upon by her husband. Both men
are diligent in provoking strife. quarrel
