THE VIRGINIA ELECTION.

The people of Virginia have had an op-
portunity TO see and compare the State Con-
ventions of the opposing political parties, to
note their composition and their proceed
ings and to judge between them. t
The Malone Convention comprised all the
scalawags and adventures Of the State. 1t
was as disreputable in its character as was
demagogsh and inconsistent in its proceed
ings. Its nominee for Governor is reputa-
BILE citizen, but he represents the evils OF
Mahoneism, and is therefore an unfit person
for Governor of the old State.
The Democratic Convention was made up
of the most distinguished and honorable
citizens of Virginia. Its proceedings were
dignified and bespoke confidence of VIC
tory. Its platform is one which the people
will heartily endorse. 1t opposes excessive
taxation and the further agitation of the
settled debt question; leaves the people in
counties and districts to decide the liquor
and beer question for themselves; condemns
the employment of convict labor in compe-
tition with honest free labor; maintains that
reduction in taxation can and must be made
without depriving American labor Of the
ability to compete successfully with foreign
labor; indorses civil-service reform while
demanding the removal of offensive parti.
sans and dishonest officials, and commends
President Cleveland's Administration.
The name of Fitzhugh Lee for Governor
is in itself tower of strength. With Johr
Z. Massey for Lieutenant. Governor and al
acceptable platform Democratic triumph
| is not even doubtful.

The coming exhibition at Rome will offer
agood opportunity for the display of the
manufactures and products of the mines and

The New York San contends that the
civil service law is unconstitutional, and
that the power of appointment is vested in
the President with the advice and consent
of the Senate. The argument that the Com
mission does not appoint is a bubble and
contradicted by the case of Kellar, who was
appointed under and against the will Of the
First Auditor of the Treasury.

President Cleveland recently appointed

prominent Democrat The appointment did
not suit the gentleman so recommending,
and he wrote to the President acknowledging
his duplcty and dissatisfaction. The Presi-

Spouse TO the gentlemans letter, character

Will Business Revive!

Prices throughout the world continue
TO shrink and as consequence there
is distress in all the markets of the
world. 1t is losing business 10 produce
on falling market, end hence enter
prise is checked, money accumulates
in the financial centers unused, and
production is at a stand-still. The cause
OF this state Of affairs, as we have
epeatedly explained, is the discarding
cfsilver In measuring values. Gold is
practically the sole unit, and 1t has to
do double duty at time when the
gold production of the world is falling
off. This has affected prices all over the
globe, in barbarous and seini-c!vllized
countries as we'll as in Europe and
North America. There will be no
change for the better until silver is
rehabilItatcd as money metal, and
negotiations are now pending between
Germany, France, Italy the Uniied
States, and several minor nations. to
bring this desirable state of things
about. 1t will be happy day for man.

The Model school.

The entertainment given by the
Model school last Friday afternoon
was,iu many respects marked success.
Ii displayed a thorough discipline,
which, W th children so young, was re-
markable. Some of the essays were
excellent and the articulation Of the
young folks, was much better than
that of the preceptress who could not
be heard half way across the chapel.
The first essay read was by Miss Carrie
Ashlock. 1t was entitled Chips" and
displayed a great deal Of thought, just
as children should think. There was
no straining to get at premature
thought such as characterize too many
OF the students, but was PLAIN and
simple without any effort at display
Miss Alta Ringo's essay was history
OF the class and displayed considerable
modest humor in caricaturing Its diff
ferent members Her visions of the
future was just such dleams as child
hood enjoys, though to beImet with dis
appointment in mature years. There
were many good points in other ora
tions and essays, but children of a
model school, should not be permitted
to select abstract themes for oratlons
or essays, which require mature minds
to handle successfully. Keep the little
ones down to common themes they
understand and avoid the danger OF
training up class ofiplagiarists who
can only exist on borrowed thought.
The songs were generally good; but
the best performance of the whole after
noon, and that which was acknowl-
edged by all a complete success were
the motion songs by the primary class.
The representation of the fairy tale
"Cindrella" was excellent, Alta Ringc
and Sattle Glenn, especially, did well,
The programme was of wearlsome
length.
