The Young Mems Christian Association
RnIIdir,ar

The delay in the progress of rearing this
building. occasioned by the necessary altera.
ton OF the plan. having ended. the public in
terest In the enterprise remains undated and
everybody congratulates the Association in
overcoming pending obstacles. 1t is in some
respects large undertaking. but the benefits
viii far oyerbalance the responsibilities, the
efforts, and If needs be the assistance which In
the future may be requisite to carry 1t on to
tne full realization of the aims in view. The n.
nuences to go out from it, in the opportunities
1t furnishes in leading the mind of the young
and unref1ecting in the ways that can appre--
ciate christian example and faith, is not Sec
ond to that which there abounds in religion
itself. Continuing, the benefits widen iliimit-
ably, as the impress of integrity, truth and
correct principles asserts its superiority, and
banishes temptation to the opposite in the
battle for supremacy, Solid foundations are
laid for every noble aspiration. and the BUSH
ness capacity is nurtured for the highest in its
expanding purposes and opportunities. 1t Will
rise with the blessings of all men and develop
in reality the practical truth OF all which has
been claimed for the universal goodwill which
an Association with its home will dissemi-
nate.
The contract has been awarded to Mr.. ]. E.
Tinsley. of Staunton, for the completed edihce
at 81, coo.
In association with this building, which, 1t
can be truthfully said, represents in all its
purposes the whole community, the City
Council rejecting the public will has provided
a permanent and superior place for that pub
lie necessity-a town clock. The architectural
design for the accommodation of the clock Is |
in harmony, of course with that of the edifice.
The old clock which for so many years had
Its home at the place the new one to be provi- |
ded shall perform its functions, has been laid
aside. Its memories are cherished as they |
should be. and the separation between it and
the people only agreed to upon the conditions
that successor shonln be provided for. The |
new one in its rounded turret OF lofty eleva- |
ton will call forth approving expressions from
the hundreds whose eyes will be turned by day |
and by night to its illuminated dials for the |
wise Judgment and public spirited progress |
which guided the Association management
and the City Fathers in making such desira- |
BILE provisions for the public qualification.

Kid Glove Harrison.

In the campaign between General Harri-
son and Blue Jeans Williams, in which
Mr.. Williams, the Democratic candidate,
was elected Governor of Indiana, it became
characteristic of Gen. Harrison, the polish
ed and elegant candidate of the Republican
party, to address the people with his gloves
on, and he was soon dubbed by the work.
ing men, 'Kid.Glove Harrison" That
nickname stuck to him through the cam
paign, and old Blue Jeans beat him out of
his boots. He is the same to-day that he
was then. 1t is his right to be so; we have
no quarrel with him for his elegant taste
and aristocratic manners. All that we say
is that he cannot be in sympathy with the
Door and oppressed now any more than
he could then. He has about him the odor
OF the patrician and his eyes are naturally
ayerted from the lowly and humble. The
two candidates represent their parties well.
Harrison is the aristocrat and Cleveland is
the Democrat. Artist in Athens meant the
wealthy classes-the high fyers-and De-
mos meant the people-the masses. The
Republican candidate in the United States
speaks for the first, and the Democratic
candidate for the last.-NOrfolk Ld'aanadrE.

Harry Tucker at Appomattox C. H.

R. B. Poore, of Appomattox, Elector for
this .District, and Harry Tucker made
speeches on last Thursday at Appomattox
G. II. A correspondent of the Richmond
Dispatch, writing from that place, says
"The court met at 1890 o'clock, took q
recess for dinner, when Colonel R. B. Poore,
of this county, opened the ball in clear,
forcible, and strong speech of one hour,
which was listened to from beginning to
end with that attention which amen-corner
church-members pay to their favorite
preachers. Harry Tucker then followed in
a speech of one hour and half, which for
wit, argument, and attractiveness ranks
with any political effort ever made here.
Mr.. Tucker was known to few of our peo-
pie until this visit, but this one effort has
fixed him forever in our hearts and admira-
ton. 1t aroused and enthused the Demo-
Gratis and put great many Republicans to
thinking on the great issues of the campaign
and the tariff. 1t certainly did great deal
of good. The audience decided that
Harry" was as good speaker as 'Old
RaD," and when Appomattox people say
that of a man they feel that they have paid
him the highest compliment speaker car
receive. Appomattox will be all right fol-
Cleveland, Thurman, and Tucker"

SPECTATOR OFFICE.

Staunton, Va. Sept. 18th. 1888.
The past week has been one of continuous
rains but good prospect to-day of clearing
up weather. The roads are OF course very soft.
cutting off much of the wagon trade which was
going on in good volume before the rainy
season set in.
The offerings of wheat are fairly active, cen
sidering the weather. The best grade com.
manded "a cents to-day from our millers
though shippers could not be said to be up to
that figure.
Since the article entitled tn breadstuff.sup-
ply in another column was written, we are in
receipt OF additional Information, all having
the same bearing upon the fu ture Of wheat,
and good authority In such matters. The
Prairie (Chicago) Turner in its mark Ell review
for last week publishes the following =
A Chicago grain commission house writes ::
Wheat has now experienced an advance of
about l5c per bu. The great improvement has
been fully warranted, and the situation is such
ultimate establishment of values on a still
higher plane, but after such an advance as we
have Witnessed it would be well to temper en-
thusiaSm with prudence in making invest
ments. We still believe that wheat will sell
for more money on the crop. but must be
pardoned for venturlng the remark that the
possibilities are not so great now as they were
when wheat was l5c cheaper. This may not be
patriotic, viewed from bull standpoint, but 1t
The Northwestern (Minneapolis) Miller con.
firms in its comments upon the character Of
the new yield of Spring-wheat the quotations
made from the Chicago Crop Correspondent of
the New York Journal of Commerce to be found
in another column. Speaking of the new crop
of Spring wheat. the Miller said, "that the
crop has been greatly damaged and the appear
ance of the grain in the market is showing it.
Continuing its references to the Spring-wheat
belt, says, millions Of bushels in the North
have been lost in yield and the quality of other
millions has been reduced to that extent that
they will not be used here for flour, and what
is to become OF them is a curious question to
solve, as nothing like it in volume has ever be-
fore been known
We could continue to compile Information
from the very best sources in addition to all
that is given in this issue of the SPECTATOR
touching the effect likely to be produced in
reference to the price of wheat, but the install.
ment made up TO this point will afford enough
to think over for the coming week.
Shipments of hay are taking place at the
several railroad stations, but the chief centers
of demand are well stocked, and it may be
quoted as generally dull. The price-current
will furnish quotations at which our dealers
are buying. 1t may be remarked that timothy
hay in the Chicago market is quoted nearly as
| high as 1t is In Staunton.
| The local market bwell supplied with small
farm and garden products ard with butter and
l eggs.

GROVER GETS THE DAYTON BLACKsMITH's
HORSESHOE.
DAYTNN, O., Aug. ga week or so ago
it was announced that James Ryder, black
smith, was making horseshoe from nails
collected in every state and territory in the
Union, and that he would present it to Gen.
Harrison, through Gov. Foraker. He had
given Blaine a similar shoe in 1884. Mr..
Ryder, who is an Irishman, furnished a
genuine surprise yesterday when he wrote
the following letter, not to Gen. Harrison,
but to President Cleveland.
DAYTON, o., Aug. 80 1883.
PRESIDENT GROVER CLEvELAND-Hon-
ored Sir: take great pleasure in presenting
you with horseshoe made by an old Irish
man out of American STEEL and ornament
ed with horseshoe nail from each and ev-
cry state in the Union. am an Irishman,
a Connaught ranger, who voted for James
G.. Blaine, in 1884, but have come to the
conclusion that you are the true friend of
all Irishmeu and workingmen, and shall
vote for you, if God spares my life, in 1888.
May good luck follow you all your life, is the
wish of an honest, Woodworking Irishman.
Yours respectfully,
JAMES RYDER.

such a wonderful variety of interests. often

difficult II not impossible to settle upon per-

Ing the prohibition of importations and the
removal of the internal tax upon whisky. 1t
can be better and more safely done within the

the continuance of the present burdens OF the
