eeeded to power. But Republican Senate
and few wise Democrats. strong enough
with the Republicans in the House, have
placed veto on Democratic heresies,
arrested the ruinous legislation propos-
ed by the Democratic party, and caused
the country to have respite from the APP
prehension which seized it when Demo
cratic administration was inaugurated.
To bring the whole matter down to a
small compass, let the reader refer to the
condition of the country when the Demo-
cratic party surrendered its control in 1861
and what it has passed through since
then, and the condition of the country in
1855, after "a years of Republican rule,
when the Democratic party again took
charge of it. We have only recited some
of the prominent events and acts which
went to make up the sum OF Democratic
control up to 1861, and few OF the bold
and brave measures of the Republican par
ty during the eventful quarter of centu-
~ it administered the affairs of the nation.
The results of each may be understood by
the most ordinary mind. Let the two par
ties be judged by them, and the verdict
rendered by the people. who constitute the
government, as to the fidelity, honesty and
efficiency of each. We ask nothing more
than that the people shall read, and heed,
and consider the history of the two par
ties-the results of their administration,
and then render their verdict at the polls,
as honest, patr lotto American citizens
! should.

pluck of one man it is to-day an important

r. R.. p miles south of Fairfield. Have
a good depot, and nice comfortable room
for those that arrive or depart from this
point polite and efficient agent, and when
the roads are finished, that are in contem-

most important stations on the road, all
through the influence and perseverance of
one single man, DR.. John G. Hyde, who
lives ON his farm one and quarter miles
from it, but can be seen any day arranging
for other improvements. He has put up
cattle scales and pens, so that stock can
be weighed and loaded here !; also a post
office, Aqua, has been established here.
Mr.. Griener has put up a large store
house, and Mr.. Wise, late of Milnesville,
has fine stock of goods in it. Altogeth-

The School Decision.

The decision rendered last week by a
unanimous court, in the case OF Pendleton
VS.. Miller, published elsewhere. is concise,
intelligent and comprehensive. 1t pr O.
nounces the joint resolution of Feb, 1886,
unconstitutional, and the acts of the Board
of Education under it. null and void and of
no avail. There are something like twenty
counties affected by the opinion, and in
them the old superintendent will resume
the Offices from which they had been eject
ted by order of the Board of Education, az
well as the emoluments
The Richmond correspondent of the Bal
timore Sun says that this action of the
Court may hurry the calling of an extra
session of the Legislature, to, no doubt,
institute some other partizan legislation
on the same line of the joint resolution
just condemned by the Supreme Court
We have no fear of that. at least Until af.
ter the elections this fall and next spring.
There is no conceivable restraint upon the
wrath of the people that the Legislature
might devise, that would prevent the utter
and complete overthrow OF the Democratic
party in Virginia, were the Legislature to
be again convened in extra session. There
is a point where f0rbearance ceases to be
virtue, and that point has been reached so
far. at least, as the present Legislature is
concerned. TO again call it together would
be such glazing insult to the intelligence
of the people, that no appeal could save
the party from universal condemnation.
In this county there is general congratu.

Roller to the position he has filled so &C

The Blair Bill.

Our Democratic friends are loud il. their
vociferations that the Blair bill or national
aid TO the cause of public education is not
IA part, question. That is met by the an
thofitaiive declarations of the two PARTIES
in their national platforms adopted in 1884
the law of the respective parties. Vi iat
dn the, say? The Republican platform
contains The following resolution
''We favor the establishment OF a Ma
tional Bureau of Labor. the enforcement
OF the eight-hOur law, and wise and Judi.
cious system OF general education by ade-
quate appropriation from the National
revenues, wherever the same is needed y
This is explicit and comprehensive and
so clear and plain that be who runs may
read and understand The Republican
party recognize the fact that emancipa-
ton threw upon the Impoverished Southern
States a heavy burden in the education of
the liberated race, in addition to the large
number of white children who could not
receive the advantages of an education,
except through the Public Free Schools,
which existed 10 where in the South be-
fore the war. Such aid as is contemplated
in the Blair bill is essential to the success
of the free school system in the Southern
section, and for that reason the Republi
cans, as party. formally announced the
policy of national aid for their support and
protection.
We have the formal announcement in
National Convention of the Democratic
party, on the same subject. It is as fol-
lows
1--WE are opposed to all propositions
which upon any pretext, would convert the
general government into machine for
collecting taxes to be distributed among
the States, or the people thereof"
1t will be seen that the two national
conventions of the respective parties have
made national aid to the cause of public
education, party questionable Republi-
cans favoring and the Democrats opposing
it. 1t was entirely consistent therefore,
that after Republican Senate had twice
passed the Blair educational bill, a Demo
cratic House should twice defeat it. Each
party reflected the sentiment and position
of the National Convention it represents
the Republicans supporting a proposition
for national aid. and the Democrats OPP
posing it. The Democratic Convention
assembled in Lexington to nominate a
candidate for Congress in this district, en-
dorsed the national platform of it's party,
and consequently the resolution above
quoted. The Republican Convention, as
sembled in Staunton, to nominate candi-
date for Congress, likewise re-affirmed the
national platform of that party with the
resolution embraced, as published above
So the lines are distinctly drawn between
the two parties on this issue-the Repub-
licans in favor Of the principle and policy
of the Blair bill, and the Democrats OPP
posed to them. The distinction and the
difference are palpable, and no amount of
lodging and squirming and protestation
| can change them,

Fluvanna,


To the Valley Virginiaaa ON Thursday,
Sept. 10Th, inst, Hon. Jacob Yost, the
Republican candidate for Congress from
this district addressed quiet, orderly and
attentive crowd of Republican and Demo
cratic voters at Columbia. He discussed
the issues of the campaign with ability,
and made a fine impression upon his
hearers.
On the 18th he addressed the voters at
Kidd's Store, making very conservative
and conciliatory speech. Perfect order
prevailed. Every one admired the man
ner in which he conducts the discussion of
the issues of the campaign. At the close
of his speech he left for Staunton, carrying
with him the best wishes of those who
heard him and the desire of every Repub-
lican that victory will perch upon his ban
ner. Keep the "Ark'' moving.

Mr.. Wise,s Letter.

Last week we briefly stated the fact that
Hon. John S. Wise had published COM
munication in the Richmond papers, ad-
vising the Republicans to hold a conver-
tion and nominate candidate for Con-
gress in the Sd district. Hon. Geo. D.
Wise is the Democratic nominee, and Mr..
w. II. Mullen has been brought out by the
workingmen. We doubt the policy of Mr..
Wise's proposition, and cannot agree with
his reasons, as stated by himself. There
is an identity of interests between the
laboring men of the country and the policy
of the Republican party. The boast of
that party is that its legislation and the
operation of it's principles, directly affect
the interests of labor, and that one of its
primary objects is to protect American la
Dor and American industries. That, too.
is the aim of the Labor organization. In
this respect there is no observable differ
ence between the two organizations nor
can there be any antagonism between them
on the question of popular education
Upon these two cardinal points they can
agree substantially. If the success of
measures be paramount consideration with
the Republicans, and they can attain that
by uniting with the Labor organization in
support of a candidate, we can see no in
consistency or harmful surrender in doing
so. The Republicans favored that policy
with the Readjusters, when the latter had
taken up and endorsed nearly all of their
positions on important State questions
There is as much reason for them to sup
port the Labor candidate for Congress in
this election as there was for the Republi-
cans in 1881 to support the Readjuster nom
inee for Governor, and in 1882, for Con-
gress, especially when it is essential to the
securement of vote IN Congress for two
cardinal points in the Republican creed -
If Mr.. Mullen will support tariff for
protection, the Blair educational bill, and
favor the repealof the internal revenue sys-
tenn, we think it would be far wiser and
more practical for the Republicans to vote
for him, with the assurance almost of sue
cess, than to nominate Republican, with
the certainty of defeat, and the election of
a Democrat. The Labor element of Vir-
ginia and the South has been kept from the
Republican party by the force of associa-
ton and the influence of prejudice. Its
interests and welfare are identified with
Republican policy, and yet it has been ar
rayed against it, not from any well defn-
ed reason Or defensible motive For the
two organizations to make common cause
for common principles, would soon bring
about better understanding, and almost
certainly result in common benefits
For these reasons, and others that might
be stated, we think it would be wise policy
on the part of the Republicans of the Sd
district to decline to make a nomination
and throw their strength upon the nomi-
nee of the Labor organization, to the end
that We may have one Democrat less in Con
gress to misrepresent the industrial inter
ests of Virginia.

The market for wheat and -four continues to
be as it has been for the past several months.
There is no activity in the trade and no gem
eral movement of wheat. The wheat that is
offered comes in small lots, the farmers selling
in that way to purchase fertilizer for the fall
seeding. The quality of that now offered is
good in most instances. Flow is very dull and
q car load put on the market would reduce the
quotations very greatly. We quote, Flour,
