TRUST.

A picture memory brings to me:
look beyond the years, and see
Myself upon my mothers knee.
1 feel her gentle hand restrain
MY selfish moods, and know again
child's blind sense of wrong and pain.
But wiser now, man gray grown,
My childhood's needs are better known,
My mothers Christening love own.
Gray grown, but in our fathers sight
A child still cropping for the light
To read his works and ways Alright.
I bow myself beneath his hand;
That pain itself for good was planned
l trust, but cannot understand.
l fondly dream 1t needs must be
That, as my mother dealt with me,
So with his children dealeth he.
1 wait, and trust the end will prove
That here and there, below, above,
The Christening heals, the pain is love

following paragraph, which is hard on the

Speaking of journalism, | understand that
ten thousand dollars have been subscribed to-
wards starting Democratic daily paper here
ia the interest of that party. Those who have
the matter in charge are confident that they
will be able to secure one hundred thousand
dollars, the amount which is considered neces-
sary to obtain before this venture is made.
Several of our leading citizens have subscribed
literally for this object One city official l
understand put his name down for five hun
dred dollars. In case the project is successful
the names of several we'll known journalists
are mentioned in connection with the editorial
control of the prospective journal. Two OF
these are well known in Petersburg as well as
throughout the State as among the ablest
writers who have been connected with the
Virginia press.

The current crop of wheat is estimated
at $50, 900, 900 bushels, with surplus from
last crop of alb out 40, 600, 900 bushels, max
Ding APO, 100000. OF this about 100000. 600,
taking the consumption of 1SsG-s1 as a
guide, have been used up at home, s0,o00,-
900 have been exported. and if the home
consumption averages with past years. a
eurplus of about 100000 900 is all that is left.
These figures would indicate high prices
for wheat. but for the fact that Europe is
searching other. markets for supplies. Each
day leaves the consumptiye demand less,
and narrows the margin of time In which
the products Of this country will be required
for foreign use. We cannot, therefore, ex-
pect any marked advance in wheat, unless
thel threatening relations Of the several
great powers of Europe should result in
open hostilities. The probability of this ia
too remote to form factor in calculations
and the safest way is to make estimates from
the facts before us.

We now and then see it stated that Re-
publicans in one State and another are in
dignant because President Arthur is giving
all the high offices to the stalwarts. These
complaints come from disappointed appl-
cants for office, who think because they are
not preferred, the party must certainly go
to ruin. We think it safe TO say that the
President has given more positions to the
friends of Garfield than to what is called
the stalwart wing. and that the distribution
of the patronage has been governed by wis
dom, sagacity. and sincere desire to meet
the wishes OF all classes Of Republicans

The Kentucky Movement.

On Tuesday night last the Coalition
forces which are to form the new party in
Kentucky met in Louisville. There was a
very large representation from every por-
tion of the State-much larger than those
who inaugurated the movement expected.
The ability and high social and business
standing of the men, and the enthusiastic,
determined spirit which animated them,
give assurance that the days of Bourbon
Democracy are numbered in the State OF
the clark and bloody ground" A plat
form was adopted, declaring for remodel
ing of the State Constitution so as to place
it in harmony with the fundamental law OF
the country, and declaration made against
the whipping-post and in favor of progress
sive methods and ideas in everything. A Sc
we're indictment was entered by Col. Jacobs.
the candidate of the Union Democrats for
Clerk of the Court of Appeals. and other
prominent speakers, against the admins
tration of the State by the Bourbons, and
a brave and bold declaration made Of a de-
termined warfare against the proscriptive
party which has governed that Common
wealth ever since the war. An invitation
was extended to all who sympathize with
The objects Of the movement to join in SUE
preme effort to emancipate Kentucky from
Bourbon rule. and from the manifestations
given, it looks like the Republ cans, Green
hackers, ard many COnfederates will be in
close association with the Union Democrats
in their patriotic efforts.
The Kentucky movement has its source
in the same cause which overthrow Bour-
bonism in Virginia--the proscriptive and
.despotic exercise of power by the Demo-
cratic party. Its excuses, like in Virginia.
have become so intolerable, land the Interest s
of the State have suffered so much. that the
people have determined to revolt against it
and If possible drive it from power. The
unexpected support which is coming from
all portions and all classes of the State,
gives assurance to the leaders in the move
ment that they have touched the popular
pulse, and that if the organ ization is wisely
engineered. it will triumph in the August
election. The Democratic papers have
been making quite light of and protesting
a contempt for it. But the frequent refer
ences to it, convey the impression that the
Bourbons are more concerned than they
would have the public beli We. he demon
stration of Tuesday night will no doubt
,startle them from their affected security,
and cause them TO realize that there are
forces at work which threaten their supre-
macy, if rot existence.
The Republicans should give the move
ment their earnest and united support and
aid in Kidding that State of the despotic
power that has so long ruled it.

The Washington Republican hesitates
about advising the Republicans of Kentucky
to support the independent movement in
that State. The platform adopted by the
Union Democrats is Republican throughout,
and everything connected with it is anti
Bourbon. The reasons for Republicans
aiding the new movement are stronger than
they we're for them to coalesce with the
Re-adiusters in Virginia. The election of
9 Republican Governor last fall, and secur-
ing the balance of power in the Legisla-
ture were possible results-aye, probable,
il the Republicans had been united. In
Kentucky there is no possible chance for
the Republicans to succeed with a party
ticket, and the only way to make break
in the Bourbon column is to join with the
revolving Democrats and elect their candi-
date to the Clerkship OF the Supreme
Court. The Republican, to be consistent,
should give the boiling Democrats its earn
est support.

There could not have been such disturb

the Queen last Thursday proved fatal, as
were caused by the death of the President
Of the United States by the hands of the
assassin. The liking never dies' is the
theory of the British government, and the
removal of the Queen would have been
only the transferring of the sceptre to a
King who stood already created for the
emergency. The last breath of the Queen
would have brea,hed Prince Albert into the
