POLITICAL NOTES.

Gen. VIM. Malone is in Washington at
tending to the fences around the POstmas-
ter Generals Department. With him are
Frank s. Blair. W. E. Craig and many
other prominent Virginia Republicans
who stand by him. But 1t augurs ill to
see that on the same day the General ar.
rived in Washington from Petersburg,
John s. Wise reached there from New
York. Mr.. Wise SCOTS at the idea OF
Malone being appointed Postmaster
General.
The event of the week for political Cos
slippers has been the visit of Hon. Levi P
Morton and wife, to Gen. Benz. Harrison
at Indianapolis. They staid two or three
days. but nothing definite could be gottei
out of Mr.. Morton by the newspaper me-.
about the cabinet. 1t is noticeable. how
ever, that since tie visit, tie friends

confidently about his appointment As ST.

FRIDAY MORNING. DEC 81. 1885,
STANTON MUST DO SOME
THING.

We have written many columns about
the necessity Of S.aunton making some
effort to keep abreast Of other towns by
putting her capital into manufactures. but
we publish letter from Florence, Ala.
this morning that ought to preach US a
more startling sermon than all of it put
together. Here is our capital and, what
is much worse, our valuable men going off
for foreign investment. Roanoke and
Florence are being built up by the hard
earnings and savings of Staunton people.
and all because our leading men do not
put forward some effort to bring manu-
features here. 1t is folly to sit down and
grumble about people making money here
and investing it elsewhere. They mould
anrest it here If there aras anything going on
an achich TO Unrest 1T. Men will not leave
their money idle, and they have right to
do the best they can with it and no oppo-
site doctrine will stop the outflow Of Cap
ital. Stounton must do something Or fall
irrecoyerably behind. The time has come
when she has to make her choice. 1t Is e.
forward or go backward. She cannot stand
still. Our business men should take the
situation in at once. and combine on some
investment that will bring manufactures
here and keep and bring wolkingmen here.
They are the life of city and they are
leaviag us every dag. Young and old
mechanics are going away, and with
them live business men-all tired of
waiting for chance to make a
living. Some effort must be made and
made at once. We do not mean by public
meetings-that is froth that blows away
soon-but we mean actual combination
and in vestment to start some enterprise.
The newspapers OF Saunt0n have certain
Iy done their share to show the necessity
of this to our people and to set forth the
advantages of our locality to the world.
They have been unceasing in 1t. But that
is mere words. n w let our capitalists do
something. The emigration from Staunton
to Roanoke and Florence should speak to
them with startling significance. 1t means
that many of those now here will soon
have to follow if our capitalists DO
not wake up. The first of New Year IS
at hand. Let US try aud with it common It
a new and diff srent life of progress for
our town. Any man who has any sugges :
ton to make in that lins Will fiud our
columns open to him. We trust it will b-
discussed by every mechanic. merchant,
and professional man. for we are all de. ..
3y interested in 1t and ia the Sums boa5 as
far as prosperity is concerned.

It is enough to make an American y
blood boil to see the legal contest now pro-
crossing in the English courts, in which
the London Times is seeking to impeach
not only Parnell. but the whole Irish ma
ton for every brutal crime that has been
committed since the National League was
formed, and for which it is in no way re-
sponsibie. We are glad to see that it is
making the blood Of many prominent
Englishmen boil. too.

a recent issue of the BROOKAvEN
LEADER directs attention to the fact
that Oliver Clifton, who supported
McGill in preference to Gen. William
Henry, the regular Democratic nomi-
nee for mayor of Jackson, remains in
quiet possession of the Office of Clerk
of the Supreme Court under a Demo-
cratic administration. Clifton also
appeared before the Senatorial SLAM
der committee in the interests of his
boss. We need not expect anything
different from this while the Govern
or, the Republicans and the ring boss
es of jackson are so thick. These
rare birds are all of Il feather and they
will flock together. There are any
number of good, true Democrats in
this State who can discharge the du-
ties of this Office with as much ability
and Just as satisfactorily as Oliver
Clifton. But they will never get the
position as long as Lowry can give
any help to his wary Lieutenant
Franklin County Herald.

which she has been elected by the trus-
