TIER" IS evidently no gushing non
sense about /. Y. Pinney, late editor
Of the Wjrsted, Conn, Press, who has
just retired from journalism. He thus
frankly bids farewell to his subscribers
and advertisers "From the customary
Ieave-takings Of the public, with hyp-
ocritic.,l laudation and cheap thanks
for generous patronage / must be
excused. thank the public for notE-
ing. It has had an ample return Fl
all that it has done for me, and l give
it quit calm for all that I have done
for it." That fellow evidently has
done a deal Of hard work for his town
and section and got paid largely in

a CORRESPONDENT Of the Nczus
Observer who says he has travelled ex-

finds that there is 4 universal desire
for the nomination of Hon. Joseph 7.
Davis for the position he now holds on
tie Supreme Court Bench, and adds
His well known worth, intelligence
and high character have their proper

WHY is it 4 county poor house and
farm have not been established in
Vance? The COLD LEAF believes this
the most effective way Of providing for
Our paupers. Cannot the Commission
er5 regard it in the light that it would
be to the interest of the county to
purchase a good farm and put up a
suitable building for its poor-house ?
Such an institution might be made self
sustaining, OF partially SO, it seems to
us and It cannot be doubted that this
would be by far the most satisfactory
method Of caring for the poor unfort-
unates who are a bounty upon the
county. We have good court house
and Jail, now let a poor house be es-
tablishcd.

the sentiments Of the GOLD LEAF, 50

The prosperity of Virginia, with her
great natural resources, can only be
promoted by the enterprise and CO.
operation of all classes of her citizens.
The old maxim of "Help yourself and

equal force to State and individuals.

THE plant of a large cotton manu-
ufactIring concern in Philadelphia is
being removed to Columbia, S. c..
where it will operate as the Congaree
Manufacturing Company. Several
enterprislng citizens of Columbia
have put $1,000 in the enterprise,
which will be conducted on a larger
scale. This is but the beginning OF
many such changes, as the superior
inducements for manufacturing in the
South become more fully recognized
and appreciated. 1t stands to reason
that the raw material can be manu-
featured to better advantage where it
is produced and sooner or later North

supplcmenting their correspondence from
this side of the water. IL sees tho effect Of
Clevcland's policy as clearly as doesits great
err namesake, THE Thuniercr." The fol-
lowing extract shows the drift Of the article:
THE electioneering campaign in America
ought to be most interesting to the English
people for historical, political, philosophical
and economic rcasonR. The main
question at issue is English free trade against
the Continental system Of protection. The
republic is on trial. Good, conservative
government under Cleveland is opposed by
the rule or ruin party of Blaine, whose
friends nominated Harrison, and who would
certainly be secretary of Estate under u llar-
rison administration Thus the American
people are directly involved In the contest
through their pockets. which viii be af-
fected by the tariff, and their future;
which would be seriously influenced by the
restoration To power OF such a frehrand as
Blaine, with his home rule syInpathies and
anti-Canadian policy. The American election
is infinitely more important to Englishmen
than their Own internal politics Just at this
i%uncture, and they should observe every
phase of the campaign closely and under
'standinglY. II is from this point of view
that the clpious dispatches to The Sunday
Times are eabled. The result of the Ameri,
c0n election will help to decide NAM import

of checking certain English movements and
preventing the inauguration of othtrs on the

p~loration theory has been made plausible by
giving the expedition q scientific character,
in It's accompanying corps of engineers,
biologists, etc., but the fact that the goyera-
ment subscribed "a 1000 roubles toward the
expenses Of the expedition, as well as furnish
ing it with an escort bearing a much closer
resemblance to an army of invasion than an
ordinary body guard, Strengthens the belief
that offensive tactics are expected 10 be EN-
pioyed much more frequently than defensive
ones.
