We are glad that Mr.. Frye, in his fer
vor, has disclosed the true inwardness Of
the force bill. The committee who prepar-
ed it ch1istened it with the mild name Of
the "Federal Election Bill" but the intui
ton of the flee American press and people
instipotively characterized it as the "Force
Bill" Such now Senator Frye proclaims
it to be. 1t is bill that is ready 10 put a
bayonet behind every ballet. Much praise
is due to Senator Daniel for the instant and
eager advantage he took of this unguarded
point in the armor of the adversaries and
enemies of constitutional government and
free institutions. a great point, very
great point has been gained, and we are
much mistaken if it is in the power of the
adroit advocates of this malicious measure
to recover the ground which was lost by
the candid declaration of the Maine Sena-
tor, extorted in moment when his Sec
ticnal hate and angry temper prevailed over
the customary equanimity beneath which
he hides his partisan rage and rancor.

OBSERVATIONS.

A large steel plant, rolling mills, the
great boiler and engine works, the wagon
works, and fonndries and other lesser es-
Adjustments are of the present fixed in
produced there. Verify home market,
indeed and in truth, is ready to occupy the
field of consumption of the pig-iron
produced at Buena Vista.
10 the vicissitudss of the future, the
Buena Vista product in iron is assured.
Where else is there more complete facilities,
and where else can economy of expendi-
lures in production be more rigidly applied.
The conclusion is irresistible that under any
and all circumstances, Buena Vista, which
under the old regime filed the treasures of
her ploprietors with golden wealth, will
richly reward the energy, the resolution,
and She confidence which endow her these
days with opportunities for the gigantic
display of her great resources.
These resources it is ever pleasant to re-
view, and to contemplate the character
given them by that learned geologist and
chemist-that true and good man, whose
name is cherished for noble works and phi
lanthropy-the late Professor j. L. Camp
bell, who summed up his survey of the
IRON resources of Bnena Vista as practical
ly inexhaustible. Added to all that was
said by the distinguished Virginian, another
of wide fame upon whose approving judg
ment millions of dollars have been invest
ed in iron production in Virginia, is Mr..
Andrew s. McCreath, chemist to the
geological survey of Pennsylvania, and a
member of the American Institute of Min
ing Engineers, who fully concurs with Pro-
fessor Campbell. Later, DR.. W. Fl. Ruff
finer comes upon the field in an exhaustive
report made since the organization ct the
Buena Vista Company, adding his more ex
tended observations and testimony to The
fund of wealth ascribed By the two former

RaYanets and Ballots.

As the Lynchburg News well says, that
was a superb point scored by Major Daniel
in the Senate on Thursday last. In the
course of the debate on the federal election,
or force bill, Mr. Frye. Of Maine, took CO.
casion to say that he ''did not think the law
one-tenth wide enough or one-tenth elastic
enough" "If," said he, it was necessary
to put bayonet behind every ballot, I
would be in favor of bayonet behind ev.
cry ballot"
Major Daniel commented upon Mr.. Frye's
declaration as to associating a bayonet with
every ballot, and that suffrages should be
decided at the muzzle Of guns. That. be
said, vas the Senator's (Mr. Frye's) con-
ception of republic-a bayonet aud a bal
lot side By side, but that was not the con-
ception of republic which thu American
people had to-day.
This unguarded admission of Senator
Frye, uttered on the moment under the
white heat of debate and sectional animos-
ity, gives to the country the keynote of the
force bill. It is military measure under
the guise of judicial supervision by the
federal judges of the district courts. The
judges are to appoint marshals with power
to summon their myrmidons to enforce their
behests at the point of the bayonet. Frye
says he would be willing to put bayonet
behind every ballot; that is to say he would
be willing to see twelve millions of bayonets
surrounding the polls-for there are over
| twelve millions of ballots cast at our Con-
gressional and Presidential elections. In
other words, there is not remote crevice
or corner in the country; not cave or
cavern, not glade or glen, from which a
voter can emerge to cast his ballot, but be-
hind him shall stride federal Official with
his cartridge box and bullet. TO put it
pointedly the country is, on election days,
to be converted into military camp. Be-
bind the free, uususpecting American voter
is to be the shadow of the furtive and arm
ed january of a despotic party which has
seized the federal government by fraud, and
purposes to hold it by violence.
A boyonet behind every ballot! The re-
hottest precincts in all our borders, and our
f4rthest frontiers, to glitter with the steel
of federal emisaries. Behind every tree
and rock and bush will lurk bayonet and
a bullet ready to spring at the call and COM
mand of the Rob Roys and Rhoderick Dhus
o. the Republican caucus in Washington.
The startling scene of Clan Alpine's Glen
is to be renewed, at least throughout the
| borders of the South:

THE STYLE OF PROGRESS.

THE STYLE OF PROGRESS.
The splendid modern furnace was to be
built and that was among the first of lead
ing designs. 1t has been reared. Wisely
and carefully its foundations were laid,
and the completed structure stands forth
to-day, and the busy scenes around and
ramifying all its departments, is the
marvel not as the eye at first glances over
the extent of the field, for it must pene-
trate into the recesses of the mines and
behold the wonders there, to take all in.
The railroad built by the Company con-
meets the mines and the furnace. Their
own locomotives and cars perform their
huge work, and the complete system and
mastery of the entire property teaches the
most Impressive lessons of economy and
what skilled capacity can accomplish. The
coke coming in by the railroads which
have opened the new fields of the great
Virginia coal supply is no less feature OF
animation, as, with the ores ard f1uxipg
material, it is dumped in the large store
houses at the works.

NOMINATING COMMENCES.

Buena Vista and all the surrounding
country were on tip-tce as operations at
the furnace, which could not be concealed,
clearly indicated that the fires were soon to
be lighted. Mr.. F. B. Richards, the
Manager, however. intended to inaugurate
that event in the same quiet manner which
marked the policy of the administration
from the beginning. Seven thousand tons
of ore, coke ard huxiDg material of cor
responding quantities, lying at TIE base of
the works; thousands upon thousands OF
tons of ore just in sight at the end OF the
short line of railroad connecting the works
and the mines; stream of water forced
up to the mines from North River, flowing
in quantities to work the ores; the ponder
GUS machinery In motion, creating and
driving the air-currents through the
smelling departments, with everything
betokening tie early commencement; but
still it was not announced to tho eager in
haoitants. MIR. Richards right hand
seemed to know not what his left was
doing. Down at the base of the great
cruel BILE oil-waste and Underwood had
been laid, and above, ores and their &C.
companying materials for iron-makiDg had
been dumped from the rapidly-working
elevators. On the 18th instant, at 1880
O'Clock in the forenoon when every depart
ment was moving on with the regularity OF
an old establishment, Mrs. Richards, the
wife of the Manager, was escorted to the
crucible where she applied the instrument
which ignited the material, aid soon the
fifth furnace built upon the resources of
the Buena Vista iron-felds commenced the
chemical process Of iron production, and
to connect new history with that of
glorious past which commenced century
ago.
A little more time than that regularly
allotted to run Of metal is necessary for
the first twenty four hours. After that
the product flows out upon its sandy bed
every six hours with the regularity of time
itself.
Not jar occurred nor a mistake to be
corrected was noticed. The product is
from 40 to As per cent from the washed
ores, and so per cent from the lump ores OF
metallic iron, and 10 tons daily.

Who Was Swallowed?

The only people who are particularly
gratifed over the result of the peoples
party convention at Topeka this week
appear to be the republicans.
The democrats are all grumbling be-
cause the convention would not be
swallowed by them and they swear
eternal enmity to Mr.. Willets because
he is a prohibitionist and very recently
voted a republican ticket. The Kan
sas City Times, the Missouri mouth
piece of the Kansas democracy, says
that Willets represents nothing and
that he was nominated because of that
fact" For once we believe the Times
has correctly portrayed Kansas poll
tician.
The union labor fellows are not at
all satisfied with the head of their
ticket. He is not the man they wanted.
z. p. Elder, Vincent or Wakefield
would have suited them much better.
But it became necessary for them to
choose between renegade republican
aud the out and out bourbon democrat
-Chas. Robinson. They chose the for
mer not from choice but from compul-
sion. The presence of Ed. Carroll and
others of the state democratic central
committee caused too much of a bour.
bon stencil to arise around Robinson,
and the placing of Robinson's name at
the head of the ticket would have
SavOred too much of direct sale.
The republicans are looking on with
the calmest kind of complacency.
With sure majority for Humphrey of
10000, the acts of the fellows who
run the side shows will not materially
affect the result in any event.
We are all becoming somewhat ia
miliar with the extraordinary noise
made by the third parties in this
country. The democrats have always
assiduOuslY cultivated all the third
parties and nOurished them upon the
theory, largely true, that they are all
assistant democratic organizations.
This peoples party iSnow but the
union labor organization under another
name and we predict for it the same
ignominious failure which befell the
union labor party of this state two
years ago

The following from the Raleigh On.
c. Progressive Farmer shows once
more how the democracy is counting
on the peoples party. Another south
ern paper-the Atlanta (Ga. Journal
recently said 1.-The success of the ALI
ance in Kansas means seven demo-
cratic congressman" Is it not time
republicans were getting their eyes
opened? But here is the Farmer item:
1.-THE alliance is non-partisan. When
it was first organized it wanted poIiti-
Cal reform. 1t wants it yet. But it
will expect to get it through the domi-
nant party. The majority rules in the
alliance. A majority of the alliance
men are democrats, and notwithstand.

have been conjured up by some of the
newspapers of the state, we have no
fears. The democrats in the alliance
will vote as they please"

A Striking Contrast

Topeka Capital: The farmers alli-
ance of four states-Ohio, North Caro-
lima, Tennessee and Kansas have
been in session this week. In view of
the action of the Kansas alliance in
going into politics the course pursued
by the other states named presents a
striking contrast.
In Ohio the alliance voted down the
farmer party" idea as shown in the
following dispatch from Columbus:
The committee on resolutions reported q
long address to the people, setting forth that
the farmers must take new departure and
henceforth be factor in politics. The
question was whether this could be best &C.
complished by the formation of a farmers
party, or by making their influence felt in
the control of existing parties. 1t is the
sense of this convention that they shall thor.
oughly test the latter course.
The North Carolina alliance, in &C.
cordance with the wishes of L. L. Polk,
the national president, democratic
leader and ex-confederate champion
resolved to work out its reforms
through the democratic party.
AT the meeting of the Tennessee al
lance at Nashville discussions of po-
litical questions were barred. The fol-
lowing interview with State Lecturer
Tucker, found in the Nashville Banner,
the leading democratic paper of Ten
neSsee, will be of interest:
No political questions are to be discussed.
The order Is non- partisan. Politics" said
Mr. Tucker, sis the science of government
and we are political just as the Memphis
cotton exchange is, or bankers associa.
tion, in that when any legislation adverse OF
hostile TO our interests is threatened, we
take action concerning it and oppose #, not
in partisan manner, but in q business way.'
The business way" according to
Mr.. Tucker, is through the democratic
party in Tennessee and other southern
states, but when it comes to Kansas, a
strong republican state, we find Brig
adler Polk and his democratic assis-
tants bowling for third, or peoples
party, which they hope will divide the
republicans.
The farmers of Kansas are intelligent
men, and very few of them will be
found in the assistant democratic
camp when the facts are put before
them. There is nothing in common
between republican farmer of Kansas
who shouldered his musket in 81 in
| the great struggle for human freedom

Lawrence Journal Tribune: The
Abilene REFLECTOR says that the del
egation from Dickinson county to the
peoples convention was made up of
six democrats, two mugwumps, one
union labor man and one who is busy
climbing from one side of the fence to
the other. That is one of the reasons
probably why Dickinson county cut 10
figure in the convention. 1t was not
yet time to turn the machine over to
the democrats, and Dickinson county
was little previous.
