THE coming Congress will be called
on to legislate on some questions OF
vital Importance to the American peo-
ple First, the relation of capital and
labor must needs, now or later, be de-
fined. The great and disastrous strikes
of the past must be a9oided in the Gu.
ture. Congress touched this great
subject very lightly at the last session.
There was possibly some excuse for
this. Most of the members had never
devoted much thought to the subject,
and were therefore but lily prepared to
propose wholesome legislation. But
now it is to be hoped that the country
Will be treated to some wise legislation
and that both parties may vie with
each other in bringing about'an AMIGA
BILE adjustment of the. trouble between
capital and labor.
The tariff question will likely occu-
py large portion of the time. This
is party question, and is therefore
likely to be fought out on party lines.
Certainly the democrats can well afford
to have this subject agitated. Their
position will commend itself mo8e and
more to the people as they come to
understand the unequal burdens of our
present system.
: Another great question is the Blair
educational bill. By its provisions
. 100000 are distributed for educa-
til bonal purposes to the various states,
acce foe riding to illiteracy in each. So far,
tins fTu,as not been made party ques-
tlor ~ ann democrats oppose it, and
som6Ah tasmEor it. So far as our knowl

regardless 2f politics oppose this bill.

An Old Controversy Settled.

The old controversy as to whether or
not the east coast OF Greenland was settled
by the Northman, who built thriving col
onies on the west coast in the early ano
middle ages, has been decided by Dan
ish government expedition, sent out in
the spring Of 1883 to explore the little
visited coast. The early Norwegian rec
ords speak Of lG parishes aud nearly 300
villages ON Greenland eight or nias hun
dred years ago, when il had its own bish
op; but this entire civilization had per-
ished when in 1886 Davis PEN -trated along
the west coast to the strait that bears his
name. The fact that an eastern" and q
"westcrn" settlement were spoken Of in
the records led 10 the belief that both
coasts had been settled In the early days,
while modern explorations have made
progress only along the west coast. Nor
denskjold, who visited these regions in
1883, believed that be had found traces he
had found traces Of ancient habitations on
the east side similar to those found along
the west coast. The Danish explorers
have proved him wrong. They spent two
winters on the east coast and penetrated

The late Commander Morrison, Of
the Royal Navy in 1894 Published the
following observations on earthquakes;
Earthquakes generally follow close
on the heels of eclipses. At the period
OF The earthquake many aspects will
be found between the planets in the
heavens" Some Of our local scientists
contend that this theory is correct and
point ont the following facts in sup
port of their views: An eclipse oil
the sun occurred on August 30. Ju,
piter and Uranus were in conjunction
with the moon on August 81. On
the same day there were important
aspects between the sun and Jupiter
and between Mars and Uranus. Mars
is at present in scorpia, which has
been supposed to be another circum-
stance favoring the production Of
earthquakes.

Capt. James Bumgardner, of Staun-
ton, democratic candidate for Congress
in the tenth Virginia district. in his
speech at Monterey, Highland county,
Va, said What has produced the
hard times, which have now begun to
brighten up a little, but which, with
brief interval of two or three years,
heve been trying the country ever
since the year 1878 ? They have not
been confined to the United States
high-taritf France md free.trad Eng.
land, only separated by body Of
water that you can see across, have
suffered alike and at the same time,
and suffer side by side. In this coun.
try they can be ascribed to no change
made by the democratic party, for
since that party took possession of the
administration The tariff has not been
touched on changed in word, figure
or letter. The tariff of to-day is the
same republican tariff that has
been in active operation for 10 years.
And yet the republicans tell you that
their tariff is a sure guarantee of good
prices for farm products and good
wages for labor. This is their tariff !;
how do they explain its failure to give
prosperity? From 1861 to March 4,
1885, there have been republican laws,
executed by republican administra-
tions. How do they account, then for
hard times ever since 1878? What are
the facts about our prosperity? More
money has been invested in Virginia
in the last ak months in railroad ex.
tensions and manufacturing plants
than in any year Of her previous his
tory. With democratic President
in his seat and democratic House O
Representatives in Congress, with but
slight prospect of a change, this hai
been done. What a comment is thai
upon the approximations which the re.
publican politicians alleged were fell
about the democratic party coming
into power Throughout the whole
South the Investment in new plants o.
industry in the last two years has been
the wonder of the world. The South
once poor, FRUSTRATED, dead and still
has become prosperous, erect, alive
aud active, just in proportion that the
democratic party in the South has
demonstrated its ability in those States
by wise, honest State government, to
guarantee freedom, safety and protec.
ton. Texas with her 100, 900 demo.
cratic majority and Georgia with her
10000 democratic majority can BE-
pointed to by every democrat as the
nnanswerable first examples of vigor.

ment. !"
A change in the Tariff might and
we believe would prove the panacea
for the hard times. We do not con.
tend that reduction OF tariff on the
necessaries of life would put any more
dollars into the wage.winners pockets
but it would make the dollars already
on hand 60 much further and greatly
increase their purchasing power. 1t
is the duty of democrats to see that
true democrats like Compton who will
and have voted right on this question
represent them in Congress. We want
no more traitors like Findlay and
Others of that ilk.
