WHAT CONSERVATIVE MEN
THINK.

We said last week that the defeats of
local option in the cities were not victo-
ries won by the liquor men, but by conser-
vative class Of citizens who are unwilling
to permit the liberty of others to be de-
stroyed unless the exercise Of it has been
perverted into license, and that the sens-
ment that cast that vote is always ready
ted. We see in our exchanges, since
the elections named, strong confirmation
of this. The Richmond Estate" which
made an able and effective fight against
Local Option, now says that the laws to
this end will be rigidfy enforced. The
Lynchburg News" which was on the
same side, says that "the Sunday traffic
and selling to minors and inebriates shall
be broken up" In Lynchburg public
meeting, presided over by DIR. Blackboard,
who led the fight against local option, and
held since the election in that city, has
adopted resolutions asking the Judge of
the court to exercise the large discretion
vested in him and prevent the privilege
of selling liquor getting into hands Of
men likely to abuse it, and urging the
Mayor and police to bring to punishment
all who violate the liquor laws. In Abe
marie the committee appointed at for
mer meeting Of the opponents of Local OPP
tion there, have, since the ''wet" victory,
made preliminary report in which they
|, submit bill to be offered at the next
meeting of the legislature. 1t provides that
no licenses to sell distilled liquor by the
drink be granted at all; licenses to sell by
the drink only to be granted for the sale
of beer, ale and wine but no distilled
liquor; that for selling liquor or beer, ale,
or wine to minor, to an intoxicated per-
son. or to person whose wife or husband
has notified the dealer that it must not be
sold to him or her, the license shall be for
feited, and that no alcoholic nor fermented
liquors shall be sold or used within 100
yards of place where billiards or any
other games are played. The penalties
for all are fines, Imprisonment and for
fixture of license. Among the gentlemen
who drew up the law were Leigh r. Wad-
dell, formerly of Augusta, W. Fl. Southall.
W. e. n. Randolph, A. r. Blakey,
W. R. Wood, J. MaSsie Smith, FL. M.
Magruder and other prominent gentlemen.
This law may never pass the legislature.
but its very preparation by the friends OF
license shows that there is strong feel
ing among large class Of people, who
have the power by their votes to enforce
their views, for the better regulation OF
the liquor trade in the State and the bet
ter observation of the laws regulating 1t.

emit cheapness Of the situation they NAV
fix upon themselves q heavy debt for
hereafter. And what after the breaking
down of the Rid lleberger settlement and
the liking of the additional debt and
additional taxation upon yourselves ?
Still, cheap coupons to pay your taxes
with? No; no; that ends the cheap cou-
pons. Then you will find that coupons
are high and your taxes are high. You
get the coupons cheap now because the
brokers and spectators are hopeless about
fixing a value for them; let them have
your assistance in breaking down the
Riddleberger settlement and their value
becomes fixed at once-the brokers will
fix it to suit themselves.

contrary notwithstanding. His marked i'm
provement of late has greatly encouraged his
friends, while he, himself, is confident OF
complete restoration to health. The President
is very desirous that he shall not resign unless
it becomes a necessity. Mr.. Manning viii
soon leave Washington for his home in Albany.
He needs rest and quiet more than anything
else. His physicians do not advise him to re-
sumo his arduous and perplexinR duties, at
any iime as they deem it hazardous and likely
to induce another and more severe attack.
While it is quite possible that he may decide
to retire from the Cabinet, he will not do so
! unless disappointed in his hopes of recovery.
THE sTAUNToN BUILDING.
The House Committee on ublic Buildings
has decided to report favorably on the bill to
appropriate 1915, 900 for public building in
Staunton. The report will be made to the
House probably within week. An effort will
be made at the earliest opportunity to pass the
bill, but with what success no prophet can
foretell. Like Providence, Congress moves
| in mysterious way, its wonders to perform >
THEY LIKE IT.
Y
Few of the many speeches delivered during
this session on the silver question have been
| received with greater favor by the country
than that of Mr. Daniel. He has received
scores of letters from bi-metalists in all parts
of the country, commencing his clear and
eloquent presentation of the subject. Mr.
| Daniel has no superior as an orator in eithel
| branch of Congress You may count on you
fingers and toes all who command instant at
tention whenever they arise to speak, on an.
question, and Mr. Daniel is one of them.

The Richmond saloon men recently,
that is before local option was voted on,
resolved to strictly observe the Sunday
law, and their resolution was published.
A correspondent of the Petersburg "Index-
Appeal" writing since the vets carried
Richmond, says that an officer of the
Liquor Dealers Protective Association
says that the barkeepers will not vote at
the coming city election for any council
man who will support Chief-of Police John
Poe, Jr., or Police-J Justice Richardson for
reelection. Upon these two officers de-
wolves the duty Of enforcing the law pro-
hibiting the sale of liquor on the Sabbath.

The condemned Chicago anarchist

The condemned Chicago anarchists
were to have been hung next Friday;
but Thanksgiving morning brought
them a boon which will secure for them
at least two or three more months of
mundane existence. A writ was grant
ed by Judge Scott of the state supreme
bench suspending the operation of the
sentence until the full bench has passed
upon the question raised in the argu-
ment for new trial. Even if the low
er court should be sustained in it's refus-
al to grant second trial of the case,
it is said that the consummation of the
sentence will now be deferred until
March or April. An exchange thinks
it is pity to waste the good money Of
the sovereign State ofIllinois in feeding
those fellows when so many deserving
people are suffering for the necessaries
of life.

A farmer wants to know why wheat
amt higher, now that we have had Il
democratic president for most two years.
We give it up and respectfully refer it
to those who voted against McGill be-
cause the Minneapolis ''wheat ring"
supported him. The Minneapolis folks
bought 36,000,0O0 bushels of wheat last
year, and they only got it bv paying
enough more than the Chicago or Mil
waukee price to keep it from going
there Perhaps it would be better to
blot out Minneapolis and the other
wheat markets. Will some democrat
come forward and answer the conun-
drum why wheat is SO low under de-
mocratic administration, after being
promised better state OF things !? -

The demagogue who recently said
that workman is far better off in
Russia than in America should note a
recent cablegram, which says that hum
dreds of women in St. Petersburg would
be glad to accept work at 20 copecks
a day. Twenty copecks is about equal
to ten cents, and the purchasing power
of 10 cents in St. Petersburg is not
greater than that of six cents in New
York. We are not all that we should
be in America, but one strong indica-
ton that we shall be so, some time or
other, is to be found in the fact that we
are conscious of our imperfection.
But, as compared with any other ma
ton, we are in condition to arise and
call ourselves blessed.-Inter Ocean.

State Soldiers Home.

Gen. c. G. Andrews, formerly colo
mel of the Third regiment MINI. Vol.
Infantry, publishes in the St. Paul Dis
patch his views regarding the propo.
sition to establish Soldiers Home in
Minnesota. He says:
''The principle which is characteristic
both OF National and State Homes is
AGAINST THE IDEA OF CHARITY
and is expressed as follows by the man
ayers Of the National Home s.The pro-
vision is not a charity, but is reward
to the brave and deserving, and is their
right, to be forfeited only by bad con-
duct, at the Home, or conviction of
henious crimes
The Soldiers Home represents the
sentiment of the state towards the ideal
hero OF the war. 1t is memorial to
the dead as retreat for the honorable
disabled survivors of the war. It must.
therefore, in the dura ability and beauty
Of its architecture and it's whole charac-
ter not only do honor to the sentiment
and dignity of the state at the present
time. and be an object to which every
citizen in this generation can point with
pride, but it should be something which
will reflect honor upon the state twenty
or thirty years from now, when its po-
pulation shall be million or two more
than now, and when the inmates of the
home shall be in the decline of life.

destined to reach the amount of Sl2.-
600, 600. cannot afford and should snot
be permitted to do anything mean in
the way Of establishing soldiers home.
Her veneration for the memory of her
heroes who in rosy youth sacrificed their
lives in the war will Of itself constrain
her to create home that will be worthy
OF the name. a generation or two hence
as well as now. Its situation should be
where the sanitary conditions are un-
exceptionable, with plenty of pure wa.
ter, ample grounds and easily accessible
to visitors from all parts of the state. =
In the event Of the establishment of a
home for the soldiers in Minnesota.
Gen. Andrews thinks it not improbable
that aid for its maintenance may be Sc
cured from the general government.

is already under consideration by a fac
ton who denomin ate the farm as a
''breeding place for fossils. - The far

seal of its disapproval upon the farm,
and the effort to secure it's abandonment
will probably be a strong one however
unworthy the cause may be.

They will seek also to have the legal
rate OF interest in Minnesota reduced to

things practicable and impracticable.
