THE BOARDS OF THE PUBLIC CHARI-
q
The Growth of Christianity.

When Ingersoll' 8 article on Agnosticism
appeared in the Forum last month, the
Cincinnati Enquirer had all the prominent
clergymen of that city interviewed on the
growth of Christianity. The following
opinions were given by Rev. r. A. Gibson,
rector of Christ P. E. Church there. Mr..
Gibson Is son-in-law of Hon. A. HI. H.
Stuart
'My only sources of information and
only means of judgment on that subject are
derived from personal intercourse with peo-
pie around me, which, of course, is compar-
atively limited on a great, big, worldwide
question Like that, and from general read
Ing OF newspapers and current literature I
DO not think agnosticism OIL atheism are on
the increase, On the contrary, 1 think
that faith in God is more active to-day than
1t has ever been before, and that the faith
OF Christianity is diffusing itself more rap
idly than ever before. In saying this. I
OF number of those who find agnosticism
the only refuge for their minds. [ do
think in that connection that the Church
has an immense deal to learn in the use of
methods of what we may call applied
Christianity. The condition Of culture
which the world has reached demands the
simplest possible statements of doctrine
and the most comprehensive unity of prac-
tical work. Essential faith-I emphasize
that-and broad charity ON the part of
Christians will do more to supply the relig-
1Ous needs OF mankind and win agnostics
back to the Church, than all the negations
from the days of the philosopher of Pyrrhus
to the present time.

THE DEBT QUESTION.

The remarks Of Gov. Mckinney accom-.
panying the letter from the English Bond
holders Council, transmitted by him to the
legislature, and which we give in another
column, are brief, practical and sensible.
If the creditors could only understand the
situation, they would see that no Virginia
legislature can give them a better settle
ment than the Riddleberger bill. This APP
plies equally to Democratic OF Republi-
can legislature. A legislature Of either
party might offer them better settlement
by epactmg law to that effect, but the
members would hardly have reached their
homes before a canvass would be begun to
send members there the following term to
upset it. That was the history Of the Nc
Culloch settlement, which was speedily
wiped out. It makes no difference wheth-
Ell the legislature submits a new settlement
to the people OF adopts one regardless
of the people, fol- the people will take
hold of it for themselves at the first oppor-
tunity and upset it. If the creditors could
only understand that it is a large majority
of the uoters of Virginia-without regard
to party-that they are fighting land not the
leaders, they would arrive at an end of
their troubles sooner.

Mr.. l.. S. Bent, President of the Penn
sylvania Steel Company and Manager of the
great works at Steelton. near Baltimore,
made statement before the Congressional
Committee, which is very encouraging to
those who are interested in the iron ore
properties of the Valley of Virginia now
being developed. He was advocating the
admission of foreign iron ore free, and said
'There are in Virginia deposits, said to be
large, of quasi BeSsemer ore which probably
can be used as a mixture by the addition of
the purer imported ores. At our works at Bal
timore we shall require fully one million tons
of ore annually, and expect to be able to use
two hundred thousand tons of that quantity of
these quasi Virginia ores, but without the for
eign ore to use with it, l cannot use one ton of
Virginia ore in our works. The removal of
the duty on iron ore would directly affect our
any protective tariff upon pig-iron or steel rails
other than an amount sufficient to pay the
freight from our works to the Southern ports
where England can deliver her goods as bal
last in steamers going for cotton. In making
this statement have in mind our works now
being located ON the Chesapeake bay, very
favorably located for eoastWise and export
business. Other works not so we'll located
would require an additional protection-to the
extent, probably, of five dollars on pig-irons
and ten dollars on steel rails; and while such
duty could work no harm at any time, it
would act as barrier to prevent our markets
being flooded with the surplus products of
Europe in time of depression

LOCAL OPTION.

The unexpected news that the "Wets" in
Lynchburg after the tremendous struggle
there, only carried the city by seuem votes.
pretty well settles it that there are to be
local option fights in other cities of the
State, including Staunton, where the move
ment for one has already begun taking
shape. AS the Drys will want to ride the
wave of their startling success in Lynch
burg, it is probable that the .'busy note OF
preparation" will be heard in all the cities
Of the Commonwealth for contests in ad-
vance Of the regular Spring elections.
At the last Local Option election in
Lynchburg, in 1886, the vote stood-For
License 2,2s7; Against License 1893
majority For License ,1Ss. On last Tues.
day the vote stood For License 1,7O9
Against License 1,702-majcrity for Ii.

Why, thou young and happy maiden, is thy con-

With copious addition of abortive BIS and

Where its place of incubation, what its future

FROM RICHMOND
GOVERNOR MCKINNEY TAKES HIS
STAND ON THE RLDDLEBERGER
BILL.

The most important thing in the pro-
ceedings of helegislature for the past week
is message sent to it by Gov. Mckinney
on Saturday last, relative to a communities
ton he has received in the interest of the
English creditors of the State. 1t is as
follows:
MESSAGE OF THE GOVERNOR.
To the General assembly,.
have the honor to transmit to you letter
from Mr.. John Lubbock, chairman of the
Council and Committee of Foreign Bondhol-
ders in London, bearing date December 23d,
1889, and addressed to the Governor of Virgin
ia. The letter expresses the hope that the
Governor will take an early opportunity to
bring to the notice Of the legislature the
earnest desire of the bondholders to put an
end to the protracted contest between them
and the State, and alleges that the points in
divergence uEGH which the negotiations in 1887
failed are not SO great as to preclude hope
&c.
The communication expressed the desire
that in order to preclude the possibility of a
similar miscarriage to that OF 1887, before
formal negotiations are resopened q prelimi-
nary understanding shall be arrived at as to

The following paragraph from last
Fridays letter of the Alexandria Ga
zette's Washington correspondent, will be
read with pride and pleasure by the con-
stituency of the Hon. H. st. Geo. Tucker:
Though there was no session of the House
to-day, that body having adjourned yesterday
until tomorrow, good many Of the members
were in their seats. Among them was Mr..
Tucker of Virginia, who was answering some
of the numerous letters he receives from his
constituents. But he delayed this necessary
work in order to return several annual rail
road passes that had been sent him by differ
ent railroad companies, thanking the senders,
but telling them he did not think it right for
him to accept such favors, as he might be
called upon, as a Con gresham, to vote upon
questions in which they would be inter.
ested
We may add to this that when Mr.
Tucker commenced his canvass for con
gress he was sent free railroad passes. blu,
declined to receive them.

The death of Judge VIM. D. Kelley OF
Pennsylvania, the oldest member of the
House of Representatives, on Thursday
last, will be heard Of with regret by the
country. He had been elected to the House
fifteen times and was in his seventy-sixth
year. He had done the Southern States a
great service since the civil war. being the
first man OF prominence who visited it and
published his views about it's future. His
book containing the results Of his visit to
the South in 1868. and another visit some
fifteen Years later, did more to attract at
tention to it's undeyeloped wealth than any
publication of the times.

MARKETS.
V4NDICAToR OFFICE,

The feeling in wheat has been rather better
in our local market, but there has been no i'm
provement elsewhere that we have seen. In a
small way quite quantity seems to be going
into market
Hay drags along in the same slow way. 1t
continues without friends. Farmers have been
anxious to sell, so as to haul while the roads
are good, but prices are SO unsatisfactory they
are leaving it in the barns. There is certain
ly a large amount of hay to 60 into market be-
fore SPRING perhaps more in this county now
than there has been at this time of the year for
many years, il ever.
Corn is rather dull. Oats are, If anything,
worth less than last week, though we continue
quotations as before.
The Philadelphia Record in its review of
Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1890-01-17

fered an amendment to the Code in relation
to obstructing roads and streets by railroad
trains. The amendment is that it shall not
be lawful to stand locomotive longer than
two minutes within 200 feet of a street OF
road crossing except the locomotive of pas
senger trains while receiving and discharg-
ing passengers.

Correspondents.
FAT PLACES.
The Alexandria Gazette's Richmond
correspondent says:
If Alexandria city consumes as much Wes-
tern beef in proportion to Richmond and the
bill which passed the House to-day becomes
law there will be created for Alexandria city
an Office of inspector of beef, which will pay
at least $500 month. The patron of the bill,
Mr.. Downing, thinks the inspector should be
we'll paid, and so do other members of the
General Assembly.
RULES OF THE HOUSE.
The Richmond Dispatch says
The rules of the House are we'll adapted
to the speedy transaction of its business. they
are very much like the rules of Congress, and
particularly recognize Jeferson's Manual as
guide, and are known as the work of the
ldlo JOIN ID. DdluWll, WHO was speaker IN

CAREFULLY REVISED MESSAGE.
The correspondent of the Petersburg
Index-Appeal has the following about the
Governors debt MESSAGE
The message from Governor Mckinney with
reference to the State debt and the letter from
the foreign bondhOlderS on the subject was
not presented to the general assembly Friday
as was expected. The delay of the Governor
in sending in these papers is said to be ac-
counted for thus: After the document was
drafted, the executive had conference with
the finance committee with reference to the
suggestions made. The result of this confer
ence was that it was decided to make several
alterations in the message. This done,
another consultation was had, and when it
was ended the message was SO marked with
amendments that it was necessary to make
new copy.
THE BOARDS OF THE PUBLIC CHART
TIES, &C.
The correspondent of the Petersburg
Index-Appeal says of the Board appoint
ments in the hands of the Governor, that:
Governor Mckinney will soon be called
upon to appoint the boards of visitors to the
several asyIums and other public institutions
OF the State. 1t is said he will reappoint the
present incumbents unless some good reason
is shown why such should not be done.

the grain markets Of the country for the week
ending Saturday.. says: Instead of an i'm
provement in wheat prices, for which the
speculative Paternity was preparing during
the holiday season, there has been decline
of / u cent per bushel in the Chicago market,
and drop of q of a cent in prices of late
futures on the seaboard. The Government s
final estimate of the crop yield, which fixed
last years production at 400, O00,0 900 bushels,
had something to do with the renewed weak
ness of the market, but the fact that the
''1ong" interest had become more general
than for some preceding weeks was a more
potent factor in depressing prices. The price
of cash wheat in New York has advanced u
of a cent as result mainly of better inquiry
for export. The interior movement of wheat
has continued moderate, and visible stocks in
this country and the supply on passage to the
United Kingdom and Continent have slightly
declined but neither these influences nor the
improved export inquiry has been sufficient
to stimulate the market in the face of specu-
lative realizations. The foreign demand has
not resulted in much actual business, because
ocean freight room at Atlantic ports is large
ly engaged ahead for corn, and the bids for
wheat are not strong enough to compete with
corn for the limited tonnage offerings. Corn
prices are 5saH of cent per bushel lower
than they were week ago, but these figures
represent a recovery from the lowest rates, as
speculation has been quickened by decrease
in Western receipts and the continued good
demand for export. Prices in Philadelphia
are u of cent higher than they were week
ago. Provisions have ruled firm, and there
has been good distribution both for home
trade and export"
