The ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE has entered upon
tho Goth year Of its existence but notwithstant-
ing that fact it is the Dea siest and best paper IN
Virgins. and is the most welcome on our ex-
change list. Hal Snowden, son of the founder,
and brother of the present editor, contributes
daily an interesting Washington letter, which
shows clearly that the writer has lost none of the
mental vigor which characterized him when he
followed the fortunes of the old 18th Virginia
regiment in the times gone by. We wish for the
GAZETTE continued success a. d prOsperIty.-Wd-
rMand Independent.
Though little lato in extending onr coDgratu-
lations to that venerable journal, the ALExAN-
DRIA GAZETTE, which but recently entered upon
Tho ninetieth year since its foundation, they are
none the less hearty or sincere. We have for n
long time been an attentive peruser OF its columns
and regard it one of our most valuable and almcs5
indispensable exchanges AS newspaper simply
il always keeps fully abreast with the times its
columns Astounding with items of pubic interest,
both foreign and domestic. Its editorials, though
brief, are always pointed and vigorous, embrac-
ing perhaps a wider range Of subjects than any
paper published in the Sta'e.-NOrtherB Meek Ners.
The ALEX .NDRIA GAZETTE chronologically is
in the nineteen year of its existence, and is now
not only the oldest paper III the state, bur, with
very few exceptions in the ountry. NOtwith-
standing the fitness of its yeare, it has kept
abreast of the times in all that pertains to
paper furnishing its readers daily with perfect
mirror of passing events, domestic and foreign.
In politics it has ever, through good evil
port, maintained its adherence to that which it
honestly believed to be wight Winchester NcUs.
The ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE is certainly mod
ell newspaper. The latest and most interesting
news is always to be found in its columns. Its ed
itorals are clear concise, and convincing, while
for feariessness and honesty the GAZETTE ards
foremost With the new year it entered on lis
ninetieth year; may it live to be hundreds of
years and always be respected as it nov is. Nec

ALEX AN DRIA.
WEDNESDAY EVENING. JANUARY %.
The WASHINGTON Press the radical re
publican newspaper at the national capital

says:
Tho recent utte1ances OF Gen. VIM. Mshone
advising and directing the colored people to take
back seats in political affairs has created deep
feeling on The part of many colored men.
II is true that there is class of white mon al the
South who are willing to accept ctlice under the
Harrison administration provided the colorea
man is ordered to the rear in that section OF the
re,ublic We do not believe that President Har-
rison has authorized Gen. Malone or any one else
10 mako combinations with the bourbon element
of tha South to strengthen the republican party
bv the sacrifice of the manhood, the ambition and
hopes of the black man, or that he will select as
one of his advisers any person who advocates that
the co!ored man shall be deprived of or relinquish
any of the possibilities OF advancement suaran'
t.ed to him by the amendments to the cons'itu'
ton of the United States
This not only looks like the negroes have
friend at court, but as if the General had
lost the support of the predomiuating ele-
mett ofthe white portion of his party. HE
i fiuerce with the negroes was sadly di
mnished when he publicly stated that they
must work, and wait until they are better
educated, before they presume to ask for pc
!iticnl preferment.

the contrary, by popular majority of over

An Americas Consul Thinks Germany n
Seriously Troubled with the Incorpora-
tiOn Fever.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 8-Jacob' Muller.
Consul-General of the United States at
Frankfort on the Main, under date of May
q sends to the State Department report
on the TO, nation of stock companies or
trrsts in Germany which he calls the 'sin-
corporate fever" He saws thes he has
always looked distrustsunJ or existing
affairs there. The present events. the
gigantic strikes by which Germany is Wis
conditions are fraught with danger. The
strikes are not revolutionary but are the
cutgrowth of unbearable conditions. In
Rheinish Westphaiia. on a territory of not
more than twenty square miles. 81, 600
people revolted at starvation prices.
When the mining companies were realiz-
ing better prices for Goals than for many
years past the miners were receiving
$125 to $1S5 per year. Just now Mr..
Muller says Germany is showing
symptoms of business fever
sim lar in many respects to that which
terminated in the crash of 1878 1t is tax
ing the form of the creation of industrial
enterprises or the changing of priv ate I'M
dertakings into stock companies. In 1884
a law was enacted for the regulation of
stock companies 1t required a more
definite statement of affa irs in the or
ganization of the stock company, but it
made the stockholders much less respon-
sible than the members of a private firm.
The winnings" as he calls the earnings
of these companies, will, he says, be
larger and spread out among a greater
number of persons. but the people of linn
tied means can not participate as the law
has fixed the minimum price of a share at
1000 marks. Mr.. Muller believes that the
separation of employer and employed
which must result from these changes in
business conditions will result in the
union of workingmen and a permanent
war between them and their employers.

Starved to Death.

SPRING VALLEY. IL, Aug. 4.-The wife
of one of the locked-out miners here was
ordered by the physician in attendance
on her twins, who were slowly starving
to death. to eat a sufficiency OF the right
kind of food SO that she could nourish her
offspring, but being in the poorest cir
cumstances and living off such charity as
was given by the relief committee here,
she was unable to get the proper food and
the ba bies died. That such a thing should
occur in the midst of this beautiful, fertile
region. teeming with an abundant har-
vest is hard 10 believe. And vet the
father of these twins was only striking to
prevent the mine owners from cutting his
wages almost to the starvation point
