THOSE BLACK EYES FOR

Itseems we were misunderstood
in our editorial last week, on this
subject Some persons are under
the impression it was intended for
the present County Court. We
desire to say it was not so intend
ed, for that would show gross
ignorance on our part, mas
much as the present County Court
has never been calls upon to act
upon any question relating to
the Shenandoah Valley Railroad.
What we said was intended for
those of the old County Court,
who, by their short-sighted
though probably honest judg-
ment, drove so desirable an i'm
proveme nt from our midst. We
hope now that all will be under
stood.

The New York Tribune makes
an appeal to American boys to
learn trades and invites attention
to an inquiry instituted in Phila-
delphia as to the relative number
of foreigners and native Ameri-
cans engaged in the trades THE
result was startling. Foreigners,
especially the Germans and Scotch
Irishmen, has shouldered our own
people altogether out of almost
every such occupation. The Amer
lean boys could be counted on the
fingers who were learning the
trade of weaving in the great
wooden and carpet manufactures.
The same story was told in the
cotton mills, at the stocking looms.
Yet the wages paid to these skill
ed workmen are high and steady.
The Scotchman or North Irish
man earns from SIS to $40 per

comfort from his father. There
