Shenandoah Valley Railroad.

The sale of the Shenandoah Valley Rail-
road according to order Of Court took place
yesterday at Roanoke. There has been
some discussion and much interest mani
Tested as to the result of the sale. That it
should fall into the hands of the Norfolk s.
Western Company, the purchasers, is a
natural consequence. 1t was the means of
the introduction of the men and capital that
are accomplishing great things for Virgin
a,and they recognize the parentage. 1t is
proving a mighty force in development and
is playing grand part in the growing
commerce of the Country.

The Farmers will be heard from.

AS the Lynehburg Neacs says, hitherto
the Republican party has been doggedly in
sisting that the farmers of the New Eng
land and the Northwest were in most
prosperous condition, despite the many
evidences to the contrary. The bluff game
is now played out, and another program is
necessary. 1t would seem that they have
selected the sweet and silver tongue Of
brother Depew to PROFOUND the new thesis.
The cry is now that however the past of
Republican Legislation may have failed to
relieve the farmer, his relief is sure to come
from the expanding splendor and msgnifi-
oence Of tho American republic. They now
admit that the farmer has heretofore had a
trying time. but they insist that the end OF
their troubles has been reached, that the
bottom has been touched, and that hence
forth his march will be on an ascending
grade.
This sort Of Cruel il, in our opinion, too
thin to satisfy the appetite of the average
American farmer. A Barmacide feast of
empty dishes, and fictitious promises, will
not suffice. Substantial viands are abso-
lutely demanded. These the Republican
party with its uncomfortable tariffs can never
supply. The farmers of the country turn,
by the instinct of self. preservation, the first
law of nature, to the sympathy and succoE
of their true and natural friends, the Demo-
cratic party. The Republican managers
may depute Depew to sing his Syren song
of broken Republican promises; but it will
not avail. The agricultural classes, North
and South, are at last thoroughly aroused
to thu fact that their true friends and CO.
adjutors are in the Democratic party. And
you that have ears to hear, pay heed to
what we now say, that the farmers of the
country will be heard from in the Presiden-
tial election of 1892"

The seating of Langston by the Repub-
lican mob in the House has had the very
natural effect of turning his head. In a
speech to a crowd of Washington negroes
he gave vent to his exultation by saying:
sit is high honor to confer on any Ameri-
can a seat in the House where Reed is
speaker and whore Cannon is on the floor. !"
Further on he said: 'This is our govern
msnt and our fellows to save. fit is cour-
rage that is wanted we will give it by hogs
heads even, until the blood shall run 10
streams il necessary"
Again: "We will help to give the country
rights now. We will advance to the Sem
ate, and when necessary, when the negro
has grown as great and learned and magnif
icent as he now is loyal aud true, he shall
go On to the Presidents chair. Well not
stay anwhere.'
Pape's couplet:
"a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
Drink deep or taste not the Pierian spring,
ETC., etc"
is well illustrated i'll Langston's case. Be-
sides being a noisy and obnoxious dema
gogue he is ccnceited ass, whose shallow
mind is pnffed up By his accidental eleva-
ton to an exaggerated sense of his own im-
portance.
It is to be hoped that this paradiug of
himself before his colored admirers was
spectacle highly pleasing to Brown and
Waddill, the two Virginia Republican Con
gressmen who helped to place him where
he is. Whether it is SO pleasing to their
constituents they will learn in November
next.-Lynchbarg Virginian.

Hon. GEORGE D. WISE IN KING WILL
LlAM,-Ia his speech at King William
Courthouse on Tuesday Of last week, Hon.
George D. Wise showed how the Republic
cans we're trying to fool the farmers. He
said:-
"The Republicans claimed to protect the
American farm products. They are trying
to fool the farmers by settling 25 per cent.
on wheat imported. America only imports
wheat for seed; therefore the farmer was
even taxed on his seed-wheat. When the
Republicans got full control OF the Govern.
ment there was 500, 600 600 surplus. To-
day there is deficit. and the country is in
an alarmed state for fear of a crisis. Mr..
Wise highly complimented the platform of
the Farmers' Alliance, and said he was
heartily in favor of that platform and in
sympathy with thefalliance."

Rnhpspiere Reed.

The New York Herald calls Speaker
Reed, in view of his tyrannical actions as
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
in disregard of right and justice, "Robes-
pierre Reed" after Robespiere of the French
Revolution. The Baltimore Sun expresses
surprise, in view of Speaker Reeds actions
and utterances, that the expedient of trans
acting the business of legislation "without'
the embarrassment Of having any demo-
Gratis present to interpose untimely OBJ
jections, raise points of order and delay the

gested itself to Mr.. Reed as infinitely su-
perior to tie troublesome plan of trying to
catch, cage and count fugitive democrats

1t would be perfectly and logically in &C
cord with the presidents which the repub-
lican majority in the House have already
set, and with Speaker Reeds own views
and actions, to unseat not dozen or score
of democrats, but every democrat in the
House. Why rot expel them all? The
republicans have the necessary majority of
votes to do it, and, with Mr.. Reed and his,
followers-might means 1ight-brute force
is the only law. Said Mr.. Reed in the very
speech upon which we arc commenting.
"This is country of 65, 100000 Of people;
they have 20 time to listen to long speeches;
they want business" Why have any de-
bate? Why tolerate freedom Of speech or
liberty of discussion? The country 'wants
business" That was precisely the idea Of
the radical element in the French natioral
convention Of 1793-the bloody "Moun-
tain" They were tired of speeches, of
listening to the eloquence Of Vergniaud
and the Girondists. They said the country
s'wanted business" and they set up the
guillotine. A hundred years have elapsed
since the reign of terror in republican
France, and Speaker Reed, whom the New
York Herald habitually calls "Robes-
pierre Reed" is but grotesque and opera
bouffe suggestion of the famous triumvi-
rate-Robespierre, Danton and Marat-
who deluged France with blood. But the

INDUSTRIES AND RESOURCES.
OF the industries here and those in

making very fair and encouraging progress.
A scheme of the fullest proportions is
under negotiation, and will, with it's con-
summation, electrify the locality into very
full activity and start the building interest
on the lines Of eaily and continuing growth.
The people realize that they are on a
railroad line which stimulates industry
and, in the language of Mr.. Kimball, who
was President when it was completed to
Roanoke, t'its policy is to mako every
mile of its extent the scene of local pros

that thsy have entered upon a time when

"The Valley Land and improvement
Company" sold one million dollars of stock,
and had, before the sale, ten thousand lots.
The average sales in the future Will be
greater per lot than this, but if no more'
the Company will realize, from that source
alone, four million dollars. Add to this
5000 acres Of mineral and timber lands,
and valuable in other respects; the wonder
full caverns which are paying handsomely;
the Inn and other properties, and some
idea can be formed of the magni6cence of
the possessions.
The office Of the Company was a very
busy place before and after the sale. Mr..
Kagey, the President; Mr.. Marshall, the
General Manager; and Mr.. McCorkle, the
Secretary, with their assistants, were hard
at work in meeting the calls and closing the
transactions incident to the sale of lots,
and in preparing for the onward progress
which has surely set in to crown this
charming Valley with great prosperity.

We have no apology to offer for Repub-
lican Congress for violating its pledges to
the people. 1t was the duty of this Con-
gress to repeal the tobacco tax and enact
the Blair Educational bill, or some similar
measure. In not doing SO, it was false to
it's promises, and when the Elections bill
was formulated, designed to apply to the
Southern States, it was an Indication of I'M
kindness, to say the least, that was not cal
culated to hold the confidence of Southern
men, who have at heart the peace, progress
and prosperity of their section. 1t was
given a stone where a fish had been
promised, and was total misunderstand-
ing or disregard of tho conditions which
exist where the law was intended to be eff
fective.
We do not believe the American people
will endorse this record, and unless there
are paramount questions and interests to
engage the attention of the people, affect
ing the material welfare of the country, it
will be struggle Of doubtful result When
appeal is made to the ballot box.-VQuey
