In Southwest Virginia.

LYNCHBURG. VA, November 20.
The recent announcement of the
purchase by London capitalists for
S600,00 of the mines of the Roanoke
Zinc Company, situated near the line
of the Norfolk and Western Railroad
in Roanoke county, and the addition
al rumor that the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company had secured
eighty thousand shares of the stock
of the Shenandoah Valley road, has
awakened an increased interest in
the industrial development now in
progress in Southwest Virginia, and
which promises to make it In the
near future one of the greatest pro-
ducing centers in the country. Eng
lish and Northern capital is fast find
ing its way in that direction, and
scarcely day passes that we fail to
hear of large investments in the rich
and productive lands of that section Of
the state, which is said to contain an
ineXhaustible quantity of iron. coal,
zinc, limestone, and other valuable
minerals. AS an indication of its
rapid growth and wonderful devel-
opment, it may be stated that
throughout the belt of country con-
tiguous to and Immediately along
the line of the Norfolk and Western
road populous town and cities have
sprung up, which ten years ago were
not dreamed of, and where all quiet
then, the busy hum of machinery
now greets the ear of the passing
traveller, indicating the presence and
operations of large manufacturing
enterprises and mechanical indus.
tries. The junction point of the Nor
folk and Western and Shenandoah
Valley roads-about fifty miles from
Lynchburg-has within the past few
years been transformed from the lit
tie village of "Big Lick" to the in
eorporated city of Roanoake, and
now mas population numbering 8,
900. En- this progressive town is 10.
Gated the Grocer Steel and Iron
Works, a prosperous corporation,
whichiorganized and commenced op-
Grafton in the spring 1882. They
manufacture chiefly foundry and
forge iron, and find ready sale in
the New England markets for all
they produce. This company has
recently purchased for $3.50, 900 about
two thousand acres of iron ore land
in Pulaski county, on the cripple
Creek extension of the Norfolk and
Western road, the product to be used
in their great works at Roanoke.
Anotherbusy and thriving enterprise
is the Roanoke Machine works, es-
tabished several years ago by Penn
sylvanania capitalists with a capital
stock of over 81 100000. These works,
employ on an average about eight
hundred men, and the monthly pay
roll will figure nearly fifty thousand
dollars. They recently turned out
FIVE hundred box cars for the New
York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad, and the word gave such
satisfaction to the management of
that corporation that the order was
duplicated. These and number of
similar enterprises are in operation
in Southwest Virginia. and the con-
tinued infiuz Of foreign capital into
that favored section indicates a prof
liable field for speculation and inyest-
ment.

McComas' Majority over Baughman, 4H
Our candidate gained 1.039 over
last year. McComas received 700
more votes and Baughman 339 less
votes than the opposing candidates
of 1885. This. too, in face of the nett
loss of nearly 500 Republican votes
diverted from McComas by Mann's
candidacy, and against united DEM
ocratic party, with all the patronage
of the national and state administra-
tions and the most lavish squandering
of money at elections by Democrats
ever known in Maryland politics.

The New York Aldermen.


The New York Aldermen.
Ex-Adermen Fullgraff and Duffy,
of the New York Board of Aldermen
of 1884, have made clean breast of
the Broadway Railroad steal. Ifthe
people of New York thought they
had been shamlessly plundered by
Boss Tweed's brazen gang as they
never could be plundered again, they
have now occasion to realize that
with the same kind of men in power
the same things are always likely to
happen.
The story told by Fullgraff and
Duffy is the recital of the details of
as villianous Job Bs ever criminals
were engaged in. Thirteen Alder
men met and made what Duffy de-
scribes as "combine'' for strictly
business purposes. They organized
formally, had their chairman, and
dispatched their business in a busl-
ness-like way. The Broadway rail.
road matter came up, and two propo-
sitions were laid before the club one
from the cable company, offering
S75O.000, one-halfi in cash and one-half
in the company's stock !; the second
from Jake Sharp's surface company,
offering $500, 90 in ready cash. 1t was
thought that stock would be too east.
ly traced, and that Sharp's was the
better offer because it proposed the
greater amount of ready money.
1t was explained that the lawyers
and others in the JOB would eat up so
much that each member of the Thir-
teen Club would have to be content
with $4,000. There was some de-
murring al this, but S22. 900 for vote
Was finally decided to be a pretty
good thing, thaugh some of the AL
dermen suggested that the price
might as well be made $4,000. A
secret meeting of Aldermen was held
at which Jake Sharp's railroad bill
was passed. Then came the Mayors
veto of the bill, making it necessary
to drum up more votes. These votes
had to be paid fer, and the noble
Thirteen had to be content with $50
600. In the end some of them got
$4,000 and some only $4,000.
Before the State Senate committee
last winter Fullgraff swore that he
knew nothing about bribery. When
asked about this he replied:
| perjured myself to protect myself
and my coll eagues. This transaction
has brought disgrace and dishonor on
myself and my family. l feel my
disgrace terribly-not so much for
myself but for others. | can assure
you, gentlemen, that this is a terri.
bic ordeal for man who has had the
respect and honor of his fellow citi-
Zens. To build up good character
for lifetime and then all at once
have it shaken down is pretty hard.
| came to the conclusion that the best
thing | could do was to confess and
repair the injury to my fellow citi-
kent of New York that [ have been
accessory to. humbly beg their
pardon for my crime.
This is a full, frank and terrible
confession of officiaI rascality.
Of the thirteen. Jaehne is in the
penitentiary, McQuade is on trial,
three are dead, three in Canada, one
has been declared insane, and two
have turned States evidence. All
the living know that the job did not
pay. There is not one of them who
would not undo it all if he could.
The beginning of 1t all was gay
enough, but o, the sadness of the
ending!
Honesty is the best policy" is
trite, but it is as true as Holy Writ.

Honor to Whom Honor is Due

The many readers of this paper who
have purchased seeds of F. n. Lang,
the Live Scotsman, Of Baraboo, Wis,
will be pleased to learn of his recent
election to the Mayorship to that city.
Mr.. Lang is, we believe, the Youngest
man ever elected to that important po-
sition in the state, and although but 80
years of age, has proved himself to be a
man Of sterling integrity, indomitable
will and an earnest, widewake business
man. BY his energy and square deal
ing he has established in this North
western country aseed business of
which all should be proud, and he
should, and has. received the hearty
support of our Northern Farmers and
Gardeners to such IN extent that he
will the coming winter issue hundred
thousand catalogues, which will be dis
tributed gratuitously to all who apply.
The confidence reposed in him by his
fellow citizens in electing him to the
Office of Mayor, is positive evidence
that he bears the same reputation at
home that he does abroad, and persons
wishing live northern seeds cannot do
better than to secure them from him.

Jefferson Davis, the unreconstructed
rebel chief, is now making a tour
through the South. He is received ev-
erywhere with greater ovations than
have ever been accorded any man in
the South since the close of the wal.
He makes speeches wherever the train
stops long enough, and his utterances,
EXTREMITY insulting to every soldier in
the Union Army, evoke the greatest
enthusiasm among his listeners. The
most significant fact is the manner in
which his reasonable words are every
where received. At Montgomery, Ala
bama, Davis delivered his address from
the spot upon which he stood when he
took the oath as President of the Con-
federacy. At Savannah Davis declar-
ed that the cause of the Confederacy is
not lost, and asserted that his daughter,
who stood by his side, gloried in the
fact that she was born rebel. All his
sayings were applauded to the echo.
The Confeds are beginning to show
their hands early.

New Ulm, was in the city last Satur-
day and made us q pleasant call. Mr..
Lind is now fairly in the field for con.
gress from this district, and it may be
truly said that the Republican party
might go q great deal farther and do a
great deal worse than to accept him as
their candidate. Mr.. Lind is one of the
brightest and keenest lawyers in Min.
nesota, is q gentleman Of ability, and
if the mantle falls upon his shoulders
we feel satisfied that he will serve the
district not only with honor to himself
but the people as we'll. Mr.. Lind we'll
knows the wants Of the farmers and
working classes, and his voice would
always be raised in their behalf where
opportunity offered. He has a large
following in this district where he is
we'll. known, and it will take q gooc
man to get away with him in the race
for congressional honors to which he
aspires.

The Norwegians of Minnesota pro-
pose to celebrate, with I'M
usual enthusiasm, the anniversary of
the PRONUNCIATION Of the fundamental
law at Eidsvold, May II, 1914, by which
Norway was declared q free, indepen-
dent, indivisible kingdom, united with
Sweden under the same king. Where
ever Norwegians are found the same
spirit of liberty exists which has made
them an unconquerable people, and
however far distant they may be from
the mother land they jealousy regard
her rights and liberties and take pride
in q constitution framed in Norway's
own interest and freely adopted. Thus
Norwegians in the United States have
regarded with deeper interest than is
generally supposed the constitutional
crisis of the past few years in Norway.
Although they have left the protection
of the battle axe of St. Plat, and actu-
alize their liberties under another flag
than that which bears the dark blue
cross on red ground, they have been
sympathetic with the successful resist
ance Of their brethren in Norway 10 the
attempted encroachment Of King Os-
cars ministers upon their constitution
al rights. Norwegians only consented
to the rule of the house of Bernadot
over their country upon its solemn
pledge to maintain the provisions Of
the fundamental Of law 1914. The kings
claim to the right Of absolute veto is
seduously denied, and the difficulties of
the past two years have so stimulated
the growth of Republicanism that it is
only question Of time when the slight
hold of royalty upon the Norwegian
segment of the kingdom will be sever
ed, and the present Democratic consti-
tuition may be made the basis Of q Re
1 public.

If Hon. O. B. Turrell, of Redwood
Falls, is a farmer, so is Hon. John
Lind, Of this city. They both farm by
proxy. If this kind of farming is such
big thing in Mr.. Turrell's favor, it
applies equally as we'll to Mr.. Lind.
It's the man more than his calling that
should recommend him to the suffrages
Of the people. Although a one-armed
man, Mr.. Lind is capable Of doing all
farming that may be attempted in Con-
gress, and, in the event of his nominal
ton and election, we are confident the
farmers of the Second congressional
district will have no reason to complain
of his vote on any measure that may
be attempted in their behalf.
