Panic on a Steamboat.

The steamer City of Detroit arrived at

ALEX NDRIA.
SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 81.

AT SOME of the recent meetings OF the
Farmers Alliance in this State speeches
have been made by ill-advised members IN
favor of the socialstic proposition that tne
federal government shall own and operate
the railroads. Wise people think the 1eoet-
ri government already has entirely TOO
much to do with the business OF the country
without increasing its powers in thatrespec''
and the way it now taxes Virginia farmers
for the benefit of northern manufacturers
won,d sseu of itself sufficient to MAKE the
farmer. more than all other people, dread
IFS further encroachment. Then, TOO, 10 &C
caad to the socialists in the matter referred
r. would be the inch that would stimulate
them to demand the inevitable ell, and
osternal government would soon be essao'
isbed on the ruins of republican Institutions
to the injury of the farmers more than any
other class of the country's population
What the Virginia farmers, like ali other
poor people, want, is change in the reve-
nue. system Of the country, change oy
which the revenue necessary for the legiti-
mate expenses of an economically admins
tered government shall be raised by tax
on incomes and luxuries and the removal
Of the tax on the necessaries OF lille and on
raw material If the farmers would con-
centrate their energies on an effort to MAKE
that charge, and effect 1t, their condition
would be no worse than that OF many other
people in the country, and great deal bet
ter than that of some, whose fortune, Tor
lack of correct information on the subJecs'
they now envy.

TIE FACT that the negroes of North Dan.

their children to the negro free school there,
because the negro teacher voted the demo.
cratic ticket st the LAST election ia another ev-
idenoe of the other fact that negroes are not
like white people. Nearly all the white
school teachers in the State vote the demo-

democratic politics are not taught at negro
