The Debt Question.

Gov. Lee is making prominent de-
NAL of any authority vested in Gen. j
B. Henderson and Col. H. g. Parsons tt
speak. for Virginia or in any way to ne
gotiate as to the State debt with the for
eign bondholders. This denial was entire
ly unnecessary so far as the facts are
concerned. The gentlemen named have
not assumed to represent Virginia OF
claimed to have any authority either
from Gov. Lee or Auditor Rutfin-the
two officials who seem to have the inter.
ests of Virginia especially in charge. But
there is nothing in the laws of Virginia
or the prerogatlves of the Governor to
prevent them from making inquiry into
the sentiment and disposition of the
bondholders, nor is there anything in the
equity of the case to prevent a proposition
being submitted to the people of Vir-
ginia for a settlement of the debt ques.
ton. 1t would not be agreeable to the
Governor to have the debt settled without
asking his leave.' but such a thing is
possible. Whether that will be the out
come of the talk with the foreign bond
holders or not we do not know, but
stranger things haye happened, One
thing is certain. Gov. Lee, with his
record and notions, will never haye the
honor of accomplishing anything in that
direction. M tia-..- t-tt

Virginia Republicans and the Presi.
f.-s.- t. .-.s- -. dent ..4t .+--- e..


A dispatch from Washington to the as
ISOLATED press, dated the 18th, furnishes
the following reference to a conference
held with President Harrison on that day
| by number of Virginia Republicans
The dispatch says :ss9'aa2 81 "s
| A delegation of Virginia Republicans opposed
| to General Malone. which was appointed at q
conference held in this city on the Goth OF
May, at which time an open letter was adj
dressed to General Malone, called upon the
| President to-day, according to appointment
The delegation was headed by ex- Governor
Cameron; Colonel Brady, a member of the
National Republican Com mittee from Virginia
and General drOner, chairman of the anti-Ma
hone wing of the Republican party of Virginia
| received by President Harrison and were with
him for twenty minutes or more. The Inter-
view was private, there being no person other
than the President and the delegation in the
room. t''tr
Brief addresses were made by Messrs. Cam
eron, Brady, and Groner, In which the case OF
the delegation against the management of the
party's interestin Virginia by General Malone
was reviewed. The speakers said substantially
that as freemen they cOuld not submit to the
control of the Malone party in Virginia. 1t is
stated by members of the delegation that in re-
President said nat he did not think 1t was part
Of his functions to undertake to settle party
disputes; that SO far as he was concerned he
did not intend to give recognition to any one
lac ton in the party and that he had expressed
the same views to delegation of Malone Re-
pnblicans which called on him yesterday.
The President said that he earnestly desired
harmony and party success in Virginia and
disclaimed in positive terms that he had ever
sa1c that the appointments in Virginia should
be made only on General Mahone's recon-
mendatiOn.
AT the conclusion of the Presidents remarks
the delegation Withdrew to It's headquarters at
the Ebbitt House. much pleased and express
Ing themselves as entirely satisfied with the
result Of the interview. The ccmmunicatpn
addressed TO General Malone above referred
to has lot been answered by him nor its recep.

Census of 1890

Next year every farmer in the United
States will be called upon for statement
of the products of his farm for the pre-
vious year. An officer under the pay and
authority of the government, will be the
agent to gather farm statistics for the
census. 1t would be taking time by the
forelock to commence keeping a regular
entry of all descriptions of farm products,
including live stock, so that an accurate
return may be made. 1t will be well
enough to look out, too, for imposters.-7
There may be some frauds who will assume
to represent the government, but these
can be detected by close questioning
where suspicion is aroused, and demand
for official papers. No one authorized to
collect data for the census will refuse to
show his authority and give evidence of
the genuineness of his mission.

Valuable Real Estate for Sale,

We direct attention to the advertise
ment of Mr.. J II. Shelton, of valuable
real estate, at private sale. The farm is
one Of the best in Nelson county, and at
the price named is as cheap as dirt. The
fruit alone on it is nearly worth the
money. The land is first-class and the
neigborhood excellent. Fhe mountain
land is believed to bear valuable minerals.
It is in the range Of the tin mines of IRISH
Creek and certainly carries good iron ore.
The price asked for these tracts of land is
next to nothing, considering their intrinsic
value, and the party purchasing will find
that he has gotten bargain, and a big
bargain at that, for the amount of the in
vestment. ra51''', .a.4-,-s.

Virginia Rapnblicans.

II will be seen from the press dispatch
elsewhere published that President Harri-
son has taken position in regard to the
factions in the Republican party in Vir-
ginia. He has announced that it is not
within the scope of his duties, as Presi
dent, to interfere with factional differ
ences in any State, and that neither fac
tion will be recognized, as such, in the dis
tribution of patronage-that men will be
chosen on their merits, whether of one
faction or the other, to fill offices, and that
the endorsement of no particular person
is necessary to assure official recognition.
This is the proper view to take Of the
matter. 1t is the way to discourage fac
tional contentious, and bring about bet
ter feeling between those who differ as to
the plan of party organization. The Pres
ident can have nothing to do with these in
ternal dissensions. AS an individual he may
have his views of what is right or wrong.
but in his official capacity he cannot be-
come party to the controversy, however
much he may wish to see harmony, not
only in Virginia, but in every. State. in the
Union. Had this policy been announced
earlier, factions would have had nothing
to feed on, so far as Federal patronage is
concerned, and the President would have
been relieved of good deal of annoyance.
He might give audience to the representa-
tives of one faction to-day, and another
tomorrow, and keep it up to the close OF
his administration, and he would be no
better prepared to act, as between them,
than he is now. It would be but the rep
etition of an oft-told tale, with nothing
new to guide 10 solution of the differ
ences. The President acquits himself OF
all responsibility for the angry contentious
and we presume will proceed to make APP
pointments in the line he has indicated.
twill be for the party in the State to ad-
just its contentious, and adopt a plan by
which united front may be presented to
the Democracy in the fall elections.

third day several propositions for the es.
Enlistment of a home for invalid and in

city as free gift, on condition that a
home be started within two years and COM

vote. adopted thererort of the committee,

In the hurry of writing a paragraph
about the contract awarded to Messrs,
Mason, Hoge, Gooch & Co., for the con-
struction of thirty miles of railroad from
Clinch River to Big Stone Gap. we stated
it was the extension of the Clinch Valley
railroad This was incorrect, as we knew
at the time, but did not notice the mis-
take until our attention was called to it.
The contract referred to was for the COM
pletion of the Bates road, now finished
for thirty miles from Bristol, and from
the Clnch River to Big Stone Gap as
stated. 1t does not matter much as to
names SO the road is built. and we are

A Doleful Lamentation.

The Woodstock Virgin IAN gets a little
muddled over the case of United States
District Attorney Allen. Judge Allen re-
signed his Office to take effect on the Sth
of June, or when his successor is APP
pointed and qualified. This was privi-
lege that Judge Allen had. He had the
right to resign at any time, or to continue
in Office until requested to resign or was
removed. The Judge recognized the sit
uation-that Republican had been turned
out four years ago to make place for him
An officer against whose capacity and
high personal character not word could
be said. He was removed solely because
he was Republican. In the face of this
state of affairs the Hirgnaian works itself
into condition of yirtuous indignation
over the ''spoils loving" Republicans and
blisters the administration on account of a
vacancy existing in the District Attor-
ney s office. because Democratic incum
bent elected to resign the office, and in
vite the appointment of a successor, who
will be Republican. We have heard no
complaint against Judge Allen either as an
officer ora gentleman. He is. in our esti-
nation, the ablest man in the Democratic
party in Virginia-is one of the purest
men in the State-and is credit to any
office, any party or any communication
good, indeed. to belong to the modern De-
mocracy of Virginia. -
AS Judge Allen was not removed, as his
Republican predecessor had been, what
cause has the Virginian for it's doleful
plant? If he resigned of his own accord
what crime would the administration COM
NIT by appointing Republican of equal
ability to succeed him We cannot see
the force of the Virgaaian's lamentation,
as the matter stands. or discern any JUS
LITIGATION for its reflection on President
Harrison or the Republican administra-
tion, especially so in view of the whole
sale prescription in Virginia, practiced by
Mr.. Cleveland and lauded by the Demo-
cratic press.

The Samoan Question.

Dispatches from Berlin and Washington
on the 14th inform the public that the
Commissioners appointed by the Admins
tration, in conjunction with those repre-
senting Germany and England, had come
to terms of agreement on the Samoan
difficulty. creditably and complimentary
to the United States, as every important
demand of this government had been con-
ceded. The Berlin dispatch says: The
draft guarantees an autonomous admins
tration of the islands under the joint con.
troll of Germany and America. England
acting as arbitrator in the event of differ.
ences arising. The Samoans are to elect
their own king and viceroy and to be rep
resented in Senate composed of the prin-
cipal chiefs and chambers elected by the
people. Samoa is to have the right OF
levying duties of every kind. The agree
ment also stipulates that the Germans
| shall receive money indemnity for the
losses. A special court will be appointed
to deal with the land question.
The Americans made their adhesion
conditional upon the ratification of the
agreement by the United States Senate
The status quo will therefore obtain in
Somoa until December. Mr.. Phelps will
carry the agreement to Washington.
The ''home rule idea" is distinctly re
cognized in the protocol. The people of Sa
moa will elect their own rulers, without
the dictation of Germany or any Other
power. and the policy of Germany, az
manifested in the deposition and expatria

With so large proportion of our farmers
wheat is the money crop that it becomes a matter
Of great moment to know what are the probable
prospects for crops and prices. The Cultivator,
of Boston, points out that it is not certain as yet
that the wheat crop of this year will be very
large one, there being many contingencies-suc
as combined wet weather, insect depredatons,
etc.,-which may be large factor in reducing
the present indications--the late storm, wide
spread and very destructive to the growing
CROP being an example. Should the yield come
up to the total of the great crop of 1884, which
was 512000,000 bushels, it must be remembered
that it will come after a crop which was very
deficient one that of 'So.
The supply of wheat visible and Invisible, is
much below what it was five years ago. which
at that time other countries, on which the world
depends for its wheat, had much larger, crops
than now. The crops of Australia, India and
South America are this day much smaller than
in 1884. The world will call on us this year for
more wheat than it has asked in the recent year.
Whether we get better prices will depend on
circumstances, amoug them, whether we ask for
them ...,
The decline in wheat prices few years ago
took farmers by surprise. The new factor of
cheap India wheat was not then fullyunderstood.
Under TINS lniuence, wheat prices We're 1ofced
down below, in many cases, the cost of production
and have remained very largely ever. since

If there be any thing sure in economics it is that
the production of great staple OF human food
like wheat must in the long run be profitable to
| those engaged in it. Not that it will be every
where and every year source of profit Bad
seasons or other causes may make its production
| a loss at times but, where this fact exists it is
| either temporary or in that place the growing
| of wheat must be abandoned. This was the
condition few years ago when India began
growing and exporting wheat extensively. 1t

whom and where wheat could be grown most
cheaply. The greatly lessened product of wheat
