Female Suffrage no Go.

OLYMPIA, w. IT,, August 1G.-The
supreme court of Washington Terrific
ry, has decided the law granting
suffrage TO women unconstitutional,
and the grounds for this opinion were
based on the fact that the legislature
exceeded its powers as granted by
congress. The court took the grounds
that the word citizens, in the organic
act, can mean nothing else than
male citizens. The opinion con-
tanned 1000 words. An appeal
will be taken to the supreme
court of the U. S. The popularity
of legislation on woman suffrage in the
territory IS that this is the second law
passed and the second time it has
been declared unconstitutional. I'm
der the original law, passed by large
majority in the Legislature two years
ago, an election was held and women
cast votes in all the counties. Then
the supreme court Overruled it. Again,
a few weeks ago legislature passed a
law. This has met the same fate.
The territory is a stronghold of pro-
hibition and woman suffrage advo-
Gates and they will fight the case to
the court Of last resort.

Proposition to Punish White Caps

CORYDON, Ind, August l6.-Attor-
ncy General Kitchener has been in con-
sultatiOn since yesterday regarding
the proposed prosecution of white
caps. He said to a reporter last night,
that from all he can learn there is no
organized band of white caps here.
there are occasional outbreaks, how
ever, but they are merely local, in
spired by local feeling against fellows
in the community who have made
themselves obnoxious by bad con-
duct.

but as sons. Her open hand and
long arms, and kindly heart extend a
welcome in which all her people join.

Or the winding river be red
The blue and the gray, together,
Have buried their hate with their
dead.

ADVERSE TO EXTENSION.

A telegram from Richmond gives the
Information that the Committee of the
House of Delegates unanimously agreed
to report adversely to the extension OF the
corporate limits of Stanton. Charlottes-
vile, without giving the same favorable
suburbs that Staunton offered, has been
successful; Norfolk. giving the same con-
dltions as Stanton offered, has been sue
cessful, and Staunton is rejected. AS
there can never come a time or circum-
stances in which the Inhabitants of the
suburbs cannot offers the same objections
they offered this time, or when the re-
representatives. of the county and city will
find any aspect of the matter more
favorable to the latter, presented to them
to secure their active efforts in its behalf,
it would appear that among all hands at
present in control it has been resolved
that Staunton shall never be extended.
Whether the loss of this extension some
thing desired by all healthful cities-is
not partly due to the lack of united effort
on the part of her own citizens, is ques-
ton not very pleasant to look back at, but
one that we fear will be heard of again,
and often. For the present, however, the
effort for extension is over, and the sooner
the ill-feeling that has grown out of 1t is
over, the better it will be for the town and
county. Perhaps when it is made again
there will be q better feeling for it both in
and out of The corporate limits.

THE CANNERY INDUSTRY,

In another column we give this morning
a very full and interes! ing interview with
Rev. D. z. Moomaw on the subject of an
industry which is fast taking root in the
Valley. Mr.. Moomaw is a minister of the
Tunkard church, is well known in the
started fruit and vegetable canning in the
Valley-in BotetOurt its most Southern
county-and his remarks as published
make it needless for US to add that he is a
gentleman of ability, with clear head and
conservative mind. Since the publication
of some remarks by Mr.. M, while in
Staunten not long ago, on the same sub
jeet. there has been very general desire
among the farmers of Augusta to have
him address them at length on it. Our
readers will be pleased to know that in
response to many requests by our farm
ers. Capt. G. Julian Pratt, has ex-
tended to Mr.. Moomaw an invitation to
address the people of Augusta here on
next court day, February 9th. 1t is
greatly to be hoped that he will comply
with the invitation.
Mr.. Mcomaw, as will be seen from his
interview, is believer in introducing
change in the farming industries, and he
says in note to this writer-''We see the
approach of tidal wave of prosperity
such as never laved the shores OF Virginia
before. and if her farmers are awake to
the splendid possibilities of their section,
their harvest in the near future will be
rich one."

Bridge at Mt. Meridian.

Editor Vindicator.
Our section of the country is located in the
Northeastern part of Augusta and the South
eastern part of Rockingham counties, along
the South, Middle and North rivers as they
approach their confluence to form the Shen-
andoah. The scenery is fine. the land fertile
and thickly settled, and the prospect for man
ganese and coal encouraging.
There is no lack of public spirit on the part
of our citizens as will be shown from time to
time. The first evidence of this is the efforts
which have been made to bridge these turbu-
lent rivers; tor as you descend, the volume of
water increases. the channels deepen, and the
ingress and egress of the fords become more
difficult
The citizens of Rockingham county few
years ago made a liberal subscription for o
bridge across the North River at Port Repub-
lie and the county gave them bridge at q
cost of about SIS, 900. The citizens of Angus
ia no less liberal have been trying to get a
bridge across Middle River at Mt. Meridian,
four miles Northeast of Port Republic and
one and half miles from the Rockingham
line. On our first application to court We
made o clear and strong case, but the court
postponed decision.
when We renewed our appllcatloH litlef, we
met with competition from fords higher up
the same river then we saw why decision was
postponed. Humbert's Ford made a strong
case and they need bridge-but we think
not as strong case as Mt. Meridian.
The Court decided that bridge should be
erected at both fords, but Mt. Meridian must
wait until Humbert's bridge is built. This
decision postpones the Mt. Meridian bridge
for at least two years, unless the County Su-
p rvsors in their wisdom remedy this wrong
done large and heavy tax paying portion of
the county. That this decision does US in
justice and is disadvantage to the county
financially, will be shown in our next article.

THE LABOR COMMISSIONERS
BILL,

The bill to establish Labor Bureau
and appoint practical mechanic at the
head of it, has met with unexpected oppo-
sition in the House of Delegates where it
orlginated-an opposition that does not
confne itself to party lines. Among its
advocates were Messrs. H. l.. Carter,
(Dem.) H. R. Pollard, (Dem.), W. c.
Elan, rep and Edmund Waddill, Rep
the author. Its opponents on the floor
were Mr.. Pedigo, tkep.), who held that he
stood on the farmers platform ito
be left aloEe'-and that the legislature
had not the right to legislate on
the Labor question; and Mr.. Harris,
(colored Rep.), who said ''his peo-
ple' didn't want it, and that it was only
bill to tickle the laboring men to get
their votes. A substitute for the bill
was defeated by vote of AZ to 32. The
House then refused to order the bill to
its engrossment by vote of 43 to 40-the
Augusta delegation being divided, Mr..
Echols voting for the eugrossment and
Mr.. Crawford against it. Tue next day
the House agreed to reconsider this vote
by go to 10, Mr.. Echols voting for the re-
consideration and Mr.. Crawford against
it. The molten was then made to re-
commit the bill-its author opposing its
recommittal earnestly on the ground that
1t would never come out of the committee
again. The vote was taken and the bill
was recommitted by vote of 46 to 80.
Mr.. Crawford voting to recommit, and Mr..
Echols voting against it:
The bill is an excellent one, and 1t Is to
be hoped that it will not be materially al.
tered in the committee. its recommittal
TO which, this late in the session, puts 1t In
great peril of total failure.
Since the recommittal of the Waddill
bill we see that another has been intro
duced, differing from it in that the new
bill makes the Commissioner appointive by
the Governor and Senate instead of elective
by the people; makes him an umpire in
labor digagreements whose decisions have
the force of a judgment at law; requires
from him bond of 1000 for the proper
performance of his duties, and gives him
the appointment of his own clerk.

THE SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN.

We give elsewhere the announcement
of this admirable journal for the year 1885,
1t is an open school for the mechanic with
whom it is too late in life to 60 to school
again, and gives him an easy and easily
understood way to keep abreast of his
calling, and ahead of chose of his mates
who are not wise enough to follow the
same plan. To workman in any calling
the "American" appears to US about
equal to the possession Of new set of
tools. There is no trade or profession
which 1t does not illuminate and make
easier with practical information, given in
plain language. The workman at his
bench, the photographer, the bridge build
er, the miller, the architect-all will find
an education in the columns of the ''Scien-
tfic American" Ii should be 10 the
hands of every workman and master work
man of the Southern States where the
trades are beginning life anew, and where
1t is deeply important to keep posted on
the inventions of tie day. The paper Is

Worth a Second Thought.
Editor Vindicotor :

Editor Vindicator
In the V1ND1oAToR of January 18th, under
the caption s'Worth Thinking About" the
editor calls attention to the appalling state
ment made by VIM Finchum who was lately
executed at Harrisonburg, that he, the crim-

never heard sermon, and never heard a
prayer in his lite." Appalling, indeed, is such
a statement to come from man born and
reared in so-called Christian America, and a
land blessed of God with the glorious light of
the Gospel. Well may the neighbors and
fellow-citizens of this poor criminal ask them
selves if they have done their duty toward
him; we'll may our churches and individual
Christians seriously ask themselves If they
are doing their duty toward similar class of
human beings, alas, too numerous, not only

a RIGHTEOUS BILL.

We see that the bill repeating the law of
average" by which public school teach
er's salary is made dependent on the num-
Der of scholars that attend, has been
favorablY reported in the Senate and
placed on the calendar. 1t is bill which
cures great injustice in the school laws
and we trust will be actively pushed till it
becomes a law.
