TODAY


the election for county officers occurs. Let
every voter in the county make up his
mind to cast his ballot as his best .judg-
ment may dictate. Don't allow men to
say you must vote this way OF you must
vote tn at. You have an individual
interest in the administration of county
affairs. 1t is your privilege to select the
men whom you believe will honestly and
efficiently discharge the duties of the of
flee. Those offices are non political Eve
~ man. no matter what his party affilia-
ton may be, has business with them. and
each and every one should see that the
agents he selects are faithful and cOmpe-
tent. And just here it may be well enough
to stop and think for one moment. You
have intelligence, business capacity and
healthy common sense. You have been
invested with the right to make your own
choice of public officials. You cannot dele
gate that right to others. And if you
could, you are just rs capable of sensibly
exercising it as those who attempt to die
tate to you. Don't let it be said that you
hadn t independence and manlineSS enough
to cast your ballot for whom you please
DON'T let it be said that youhad to be told
who you must vote for. Say to those
who come to you with the plea of party,
that you regard yourself as quite as good a
judge of party fealty as they, and that you
intend to do just as you think best. Let
them know that you value your own man
hood, and propose to exercise it. Vote
for the men that yoat regard as the most
competent and faithful, and whatever the
result you will have nothing to regret.

The Basic Process.

In another column we publish the report
OF the tests of the basic process for making
steel. The experiment proved eminently
successful. And that simplesentence means
more for Virginia than volumes of SUI
preme Court decisions touching the ques-
ton OF coupons. 1t means that within the
limits OF this Commonwealth are to spring
up industries undreamt of in the philoso-
ply of the past. 1t means thatmines al
ready opened are to be worked to their full
est capacity, and the wealth that has slept
for centuries is to spring into activity
with added interest. 1t means that Viz
ginia is to take her place in the forefront
OF powerful and wealthy States and main
tain it there.
1t has been demonstrated beyond dis
pnte that iron can be manufactured in
Virginia ut q cost of from 25 to 40 Der
cent. less than in PENNSYLVANIA. 1t has
been shown too that nowhere in America
are the conditions more favorable for the
profitable conversion of the raw material
into marketable shape. The extent of the
ores, their proximity to the coal and fiux.
and the facility with which the two can be
brought in conjunction, together with the
easy means of transportation, make lp a
total of advantages which few if any other
sections of the Union can present. These
points have been conceded. and they stand
out beyond the reach of question.
The only argument that could heretofore
be raised against us, was the increased and
increasing substitution of steel for iron.
and the claim that the quality of our ores
prohibited their use in meeting the de-
mands of the steel consumers. Now this
argument falls to the ground. The exper-
iments noted in the article to which we
allude, demonstrate that Virginia ores so
far from being too phosphoretic, are lust
what is needed for the production of steel
under the basic process. Here then must
be the location of future steel plants. and
within another decade the old Dominion
marches to the van of manufacturing
States.

The VETERANS IN BALTIMORE.-The
american of Monday has the following:
The survivors of the Fifth Virginia In
fantry (Stonewall's Brigade), who, with a
number of citizens Of Staunton and resident
of Augusta and Frederick counties, Va,
arrived in Baltimore Saturday night en-
route for Niagara Falls to attend the re-
union of the Twenty eighth Regiment New
DIRK Volunteers, spent yesterday in seeing
the sights about Baltimore. Only few Of
them wore the Confederate gray, and they
attracted considerable attention. All the
eX-members of the regiment wore yellow
silk badges inscribed with the name of the
regiment. Many of them went out to
Druid Hill Park, and others visited old
friends whom they had not seen since they
fought together. They all seemed to enjoy
their brief stay in Baltimore, and it is likely
will stop here for short time on their re-
turn from Niagara. 1t is understood that
movement is on foot among the members
of the Society of the Army and Navy of the
Confederate States in Maryland to give
them reception if they stop in this city on
their way home. AS has before been stated,
they will formally present to the New Y ork
regiment the flag they captured from them
at the battle of Cedar Mountain. Major j.
W. Newton, of Staunton, is in command
of the corps of survivors of the Fifth, and
will make the presentation. The party,
numbering about 100 in all, left Baltimore
on special train late last night for Niagara

The Dora Mines.

The report on the result of an examination
Of the ''core,'' taken from the Dora mines
as given by our enterprising Harrisonbure
correspondent, is good news, indeed. That
coal deposits exist in the northwestern
part of this county, has been known fo1
years, but biologists have agreed that the
veins We're not extensive enough to justify
working for commercial purposes. Prac-
tlcal tests, however, always furnish the
best Of evidence. The result of the exam
nations actually made are proof against
all skepticism, and supply the basis for
the Investment of capital. The demon
stration of the existence of coal in such
quantities as that described, assures not
only the speedy development of the mines,
but also the construction of the railroad
projected and partly built through that
section. That road will open up one of the
richest mineral and timber regions of the
Union, and add hundreds of thousands of
dollars to the wealth of the two Virginias,
With IN extensive deposit of rich an
thracite coal vast mines Of valuable ore,
and illlX in abundance, Augusta county
will offer rare inducements for the manu-
factnre of steel under the basic process.

The Thinkers Annual Meeting.

The great Thinker gathering at Bismark,
Kansas, ended it's work on Thursday last.
The sessions throughout were harmonious
and buSinesS-like. and whilst the discus
sions were spirited, and some of them
able, yet the utmost good feeling pre-
vailed, and not jar occurred to mar
the pleasure and profit of this meeting of
earnest christian men. 1t was estimated
that fully forty thousand people were on
the grounds during the meeting. and one
day the crowd was said to have reached
$4,000. Although these annual meetings
are always large. and year after year bring
together thousands of people, yet the one
which closed last week seemed to have
outnumbered its predecessors, and evil
denced to the world that the Church
whose interest it was called upon to con-
slider, is extending the sphere of its mem
bership and usefulness. and growing
stronger and more powerful as age gathers
upon it.
If the Thinkers of the Valley of Vir-
ginia are fair specimens of their brethren
throughout the Union, then we venture to
say that the assembly at Bismark had as
much hard common-sense and sterling
character in proportion to it's numbers, as
any body that comes together within the
broad limits of this land. They are men who
carry their christianity into all the walks
of life; it is not laid aside as seventh day
ornament, to be donned and paraded for
twelve hours, and then carefully put away
until its season of reappearing but it comes
down into every days work and unconsci-
usly exhibits itself in the dealings between
man and man. 1t is that christianity
which comforts and sustains (which claims
all seasons for it's own, and reaches to the
innermost convictions. 1t makes men
strong, earnest, honest and self-reliant. So
forcibly does. it manifest itself, that in
this section the Thinkers, as a class, are
looked upon as among the most straight,
forward, thoroughly conscientious and de-
sirable in population where these char
acteristics are strikingly prominent.
