A SYNDICATE of western meat dealers have got sufficient control of available beef supply of the country to enable them to make cor ner and send prices up. Consumers can only match them by lessening their consumption. If they will try this remedy and for a few weeks eat only as much meat as people used to eat forty years ago they will severely pun ish these spectators and be no worse for the change of diet in any way.

INTEREST centers on Chicago, where the national republican convention began it's work on Tuesday. So far only preliminary work has been done, balloting will begin to- day. So far there are no signs of concentra- tion. But all over the country there is a strong Blaine feeling, which only the eonvic- tion that Blaine will not accept prevents from swelling into a demand that no convention could withstand, and to which the convention now in session would gladly yield.

IF the proposed railroad from Portland to Manchester is extended to Rockville it will be on an entire new line, entering Rockville at considerably higher grade than the present Rockville branch. This will add to the feas- ibility of climbing the high grade intervening between Rockville and Holland and Stafford Springs, which point once reached the enter prise will go on to the north east with healthy degree of momentum. Stafford will keep an interested eye upon this road.

Chestnuts will grow anywhere, but
better near the salt air. The culti-

CAPON BRIDGE, w. (Gen1 Merchant)
Va, Jan. 4, lSSS.-I was married in Octo-
her. 1882. NV wife had been under treat
ment for two wears by the best physi-
clans of Winchester, Va, and others.
Two of them said she had the asthma
and treated her therefor without beneti-
cial results. Others said she had the neu
ralgia and treated her with no better re-
sults. Her symptoms were shortneSs of
breath, pain in the hips, side and stiff

nervOusness-them most eNcruciating pain

pressed urine, frequent desire to urinate
with scarcely any result attended with
the most terrible suffering con-
stipatiOn and hemOrroids. Three months
after marriage l conceived the idea that
she had kidney trouble. Fearing to trust
her case further to the doctors, and hav-
ing heard Of "Warner's Safe Cure" 1
concluded TO get it and give 1t trial.
After having taken some seven bottles
of "Warner's Safe Cure" strictly accor-
ding to directions, my wife concluded
she was cured. Abstaining from the use
of ssWarner'S Safe Cure" for two weeks,
nv wife found that her troubles were
coming back. a further continuance I'm
the use of the "Warner's Safe Cure"

her permanently well.
Now, after a lapse of six years, my
wife remains a hearty beautiful woman,

brightest boy in the two NirginiaS-born
in the second wear of our wedlOck.

EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH.
Courier Journal.

Each year shows more clearly that
the Southern States are both able;
and willing to educate the children
of both races. The Blair Bill, by
holding out hopes of Federal aid, has
done much To retard the progress.
of education and to discourage local
effort
But fortunately it is now plain
Federal aid will not be given to.
State schools, and more attention Is
bestowed on State management and
local taxation. The Richmond state
has an article in recent issue con-
corning the school system of Virgin
ia, from which we take these figures:
''In 1884 there were 4,7S3 white
teachers. In 1887 there were 5,305.
Increase 522. In 1884 there were
1883 colored teachers. In 1887
there, were 1856. Increase, 26S.
Total increase, 100. In 1884 num-
Der of pupils enrolled was as follows:
White, 1S4,S20; colored, 103,310.
Total number, 2ss,OSO. In 1887 the
number of pupils was as follows;
White, 209,63S; colored 115,546.
Total number, 325,1S4. White in
crease, 24,91S; colored increase, r.,
236. Total increase, 37,154. In
1884 the number of school-houses
owned by districts was $3.50. In
1887 it was 4,365. Increase, 7S5.
The value of school property owned
by districts was in 1884 1882
434.S2. In 1887 it was $1,907,775
%. Increase in value, $315,3
The amount applied to public
schools for general expenses was as
follows: In 1884. $1,372,624.99.
In 1887, $1,535, 2S9.11. Increase,
$I62,664.I2. For this the State has
al the additional schools, school
houses, teachers and enrolled pupils
which have been enumerated above"
This is certainly very encourag
ing, and from these statements we
understand why the advocates of
the Blair Bill confine themselves to
arguments based on the census of
1880 instead of noting the advance
since that time.
The true foundation Of the com
mon school, or as it used to be call
ed the district school, is local sup
port. The State alone cannot sus-
tain a thoroughly good system of
common schools. Here is the diff
ference betweed the schools North
and South, and it is to the d;sad-
vantage of this section. The true
missionary of education will try not
to secure Federal but local aid: not
to transfer the supervision of the
schools to Washington but to arouse
local interest and local enthusiasm
in the cause. All the money in the
National Treasury can not educate
the children ofAmerica unless every
community can be made to appre-
ciate the necessity for thorough work
with the children.
