To plain words, one doubtful political State,
which furnished 100000 men. IL granted 5000
pensions. while six safe Republican States,
which furnished SOC, 900 men, are granted but
1900 pensions.
The evidence Of an unfair discrimination 10
completes. Not that those who have had their
claims allowed In Indiana have received that to
which they we're not entitled, but that other
States, Just as fairly entitled 20 these allowances,
nave been neglected. One may readily conclude
that II Indiana had been safely and reliably ia
the majority for either party. it matters not
which. IL would not have received such favorable
consideration. For what reason has this course
been pursued We can find but one reply, and
that - 70 influence the soldier vote.

RicI,mond.s Prosperity.

We are much pleased to learn from
the statistics furnished 10y the Disp0tch
Of the growth and prosperity Of our cap
itll city. IT is the more gratifying, too.
nccause it is not ephcmeral or IN the ma
tire OF Il boom, bat real. material, and
substantial. The jobbng sales for 1887
aggregate some 325.0G00 Il gain over
1856 of about S3,000.00O The manufac-
tories are in Il tlourishing condition, and
the number of workmen employed and
capital invested has largely increased.
We cannot but regret that Richmond
does not receive more of the trade Of
our great Valley. The richest sec
ton q the State, instead of sending
It's immense products to our own CHIEF
city and aiding il her support, is really
a feeder for Baltimore and the other
northern cities. There is something
radically wrong in this. We are driven
away from where we naturally and Of
right belong by the excessive freights
charged by the railroads. If this could
he remedied we have no doubt that our
people would gladly carry their fat cattle,
grain, poultry, and other commodities to
Richmond. The comparatively small
quantity of wheat which finds its way
there brings as a rule a better price than
elsewhere, and the cattle market, though
not large, offers sufficient inducements to
our dealers to attract them thither, not
withstanding the drawback of high trans
portation.
The city has beautiful and healthful
location, her citizens are our own peo-
pie, and her business men are polite and
atiable in manner, have plenty of push
and energy, and possessed Of ample f.
means, and honest and reliable in their I.
dealing. 1t would be source of much .
pride to us to see Richmond one Of our
great cities, and we know Of nothing that /
would conduce more TO make her so
than to pour the rich harvest of the gar
len of the State INFO her lap. If We
were able to go there as chcaply as else
where we think this could be accom-
olished. Perhaps, too, if her business
men would advertise in our section it
night materially help them. At pres
mt, we are sorry TO note, there is neither
merchant. manufacturer, nor dealer of the
'ity of Richmond whose advertisement
re are able to find in the Valley further
forth than Staunton. -R0ckingham
