ng of the effects Of an insufficient ouani-

The brain, the spinal cord and the nerves

driven to eating what has been called
strange flesh;' that is to cannibalism.
There are millions of people who have not

A Mistaken Noticn.

The Baltimore american, in an editorial
article headed '.'ro Divide the South" has
the following singular paragraph:
But we already have an inkling of the
policy to be pursued III the S0nth 1t is
lntimated IN quarters which are construed
to be semi official ami which. ii not, are
very close to The Prssident-e Fleet. that he

dition of things for President elected by
Republican votes to seek his advisers from
the ranks of his political opponents. It
would be reflection upon the Southern
Republicans. which would be unjnst and

garded by the Republicans of the Natior.

mise his administration by an ideal policy

The Democratic guests at Snyder's

stipulations of 81 election wager with this
Republican fellow boarders, sat down to

betters partaking Of snipe dinner at the

genuine crow dinner. The crow eaters
did not relish their repast, but stood up
to it like little men.

will certainly capture the government

After the whole country was satisfied

the nation, the telegraph announced thai

ticket. This was very kind in Brice. but

learned when the result showed that in
every State named, except Ohio. the Re-
publican majority was increased over that

Congressman gained. Instead of ground

That Clean Sweep.

When the Cleveland administration
came in, there WAS "a clean sweep OF
Federal office holders from the Potomac
to the Gulf. In Virginia y Congressional
cabal acknowledgement anseXception should
be made in the observance of the Presi.
dents civil service pledges. on the ground
that the oflice-holders were morally and
intellectually incompetent to discharge he
duties of their espectve,positions This
demand was made in face of the fact that
in the history of the government had
there been more flicient and crcllm spect
administration of public trusts. In every
case. AS far as is known, a Gle IT balance
sheet was placed on record. and the dis
placed Off GERS retired without a bIem ish
upon their regulations. With relent less
maignity never before known in official
affairs, decaptation went on as fast as it
WAS possible to execute the dem md of the
cabal. Not even the courtesy of formal
official notification was extended when
an officer was removed. His dismiss II
was communicated to his successor, land or
ders transmitted through him to turn over
the effects of the office. In this way every
office in the State was placed in the con
troll of the most unmitgated partizans
and the Federal service prostitnted to the
necessities of party, regardless OF civil
service, and in defiance of all the proprie
ties and courtesies of official relations.
Of course the instigators and promoters
of this malignant program, never thought
of hereafter. Elated with power and
with l53 electoral votes sailed down in the
South. and So thought to be secure in
New York, it was assumed that Federal
power and patronage would control the
small margin necessary to complete ma
jority in the electoral college. They did
not think it possible that brief four years
would witness an uprising of the people
and tie overthrow of the authority that
had been secured through agencies that
cannot be defended in law or morals. 1t
was their boast that they had an indefi-
mite lease of power. They revelpd in
the belief that successive Democra4 ic adj
ministrations would only perpetuate the
conditions which surrounded. A Gay of
reckoning was the last thing that entered
their minds. The rule they had adopted,
it was not thought would return to plague
ti,am. But SO it is. Southern Republi
cans will be vindlcated, and one of the
first duties of the Republican administras
lion after the 4th of March next should be
to right the wrong that was Indicted. 1t
may not be in the persons who fell vic
tins to the oficial age. But it should be
from the brave men who have stood to
their principles and maintained the integ-
rity Of the Republican party. through the
Ge,ce conflicts they have been called upon
TO pass and the partiZan ergiaery with
which they have had to contend. They
ha Va kept the faith-been mistaken in
ts,eir devotion TO the Cause, and now that
the American pfople have demanded
change, they should share in the honors
and rewards of the victory that has been
achieved.

The Effect.

We anticipate an extraordinary degree
of activity in the industrial domain as
the result of the Presidential election.-
Already we see it announced that syndi-
cate of Northern capitalists lnteld at
once to invest several millions dollars in
industrial enterprises in Alabama. Other
capitalistshave had their attention directed
to the South. and as soon as matters set
tie down we may expect not only Virginia
but other Southern States to share in the
movement of capital.
The country is assured that there will
be no rash or radical change in tho
laws affecting finance and revenue. The
present basis of business will be suhstaIi-
TALLY preserved. Confidence will be as
sured and intensified, and as result capt.
tai will seek employ ment. knowing that
there will be nothing in the legislation of
the next Congress to confound or threaten
it.
In the North several iron establishments
which had shut down, have given notice
of a resumption of business. In others.
operations are to be enlarged and wages
increased. Everywhere, indeed, a bOuyant
feeling prevails and the purpose man.
tested to enter upon an active era of de-
velopment and progress.
We feel confident that Virginia, in this
general movement, will not be overlooked.
The vast mineral wealth and her other abun
dant resources will inyite .and command
capital. Enterprises will spring up, and
new dispensation be inaugurated.
The future looks hopeful, for the whole
country realizes that we have escaped from
a condition of doubt and uncertainty and
Can calculate from an assured and stable
basis.
