The Stsunton Yindicator In fAr-see-
ing paper and a safe counsellor. II has
rather startled us by coming outin favor
Of nominating Mr.. BARBECUE for Gov
ernor Of Virginia. We have always
understood that Mr. BARBOUR did not
desire that Office. The visdieator says
he can be elected Governor by the peo-
pie and United States Senator by the
Legislature--upon the theory. olcourse,
that his candidacy will secure the Legis-
lature to the Democrats.
As the indicator says in another
paragraph, which we reproduce else
where, that il would prefer that an adj
vocate Of the late MORRISON horizontal
tariff bill should not be nominated, it
follows that Mr.. BARBoUR's vote in
favor of considering that bill did not
offend our Staunton contemporary.

We had feared that friend HARLOW

We had feared that friend HARLOW
of the Greenbrier Independent. was dis
posed to read the Wheeling Registe'
out of the party; but he says:
snow, if that article had any Other
purpose than to call halt on the Re
gister's sneers at the tariif-reformcrs,
and to induce it to treat all the elements
of the party justly, to the end that har-
mony might prevail and the Register
become truly representative Of the
party, we are not conscious of it,
We are glad to find that the hide
pendent desires that all the elements OF
the Democratic party shall be treated
Justly.

We don't think the daily and weekly
edition illustration of our contemporary
fully covers the ground. The railroad
corporations run cheap daily through
rate and make the little local weekly
pay for it-instead Of doing business
on the Dispatch plan. There is a
good advertisement for your weekly
Stanton indicator.

The Rase Metals.

The Philadelphia Erening Telegraph,
in commenting on the gold fever in
Georgia, says:
"The South is coming to its own
finely in these days. II is developing
its industrial resources rapidly. and
under wholesome political conditions it
cannot be many years before 1t will IA
yorably compare in wealth with the
North. What the latest proofs Of the
existence Of gold in Georgia will re-
suit in it is yet too early to
say. In "a sense this Georgia gold
is an old story, but its presence
is now better determined than ever be-
fore. The real gold Of the South, how
ever, no matter what may be the result
Of the Georgia discoveries, is in its baser
metals and minerals, in its staples, in
which il defies the world, and in its
now awakened manufactures. The
more prosperous the section grows so
much the more powerful becomes the
republic"
The Telegraph is right. While gold
is not to be despised, one rich iron-ore
bank will, first and last, distribute
more money in State and give employ
ment to more people than will half
dozen gold-mines. Gold takes, as a
rule, direct route to the mint
while the base metals are distri-
buted through numerous avenues by the
hands of laborers and artisans, all of
whom make them pay toll. Gold-mining
means wealth for the few mining the
base metals, and the manufactures
these metals stimulate mean prosperity
for the masses. IL all the money that
has been sunk in Virginia in gold mines
had been used to develop our other
mineral resources we would to-day oc-
,upy much more advanced position as
\ manufacturing State.

BRIEF COMMENT.

The Mahdi says that the English must
become Mussulmans. He will probably
find that they are muscle-lnen before
he gets through with them.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1885-02-08

The Mahdi says he will sweep the
English off the face of the earth. The
Mahdi might reflect with profit that he
who sweeps last sweeps best.

has become a Mussulman. We now

The Commissioners, In view OF the foregoing
