Astonishing Development In Virginia.


The rapid development of the rich and
unparalleled resources of this good old
State, excite the wonder and admiration of
all who witness them. Those who have
heard or read of them, though they have
thus been caused to expect much, on visit
to the State they find that their most ex-
travagant anticipatiens fall far short of the
reality, and, like the Queen of Sheba when
she visited King Solomon and witnessed all
his wealth and the glory of his kingdom,
exultantly exclaIm, that "the half had not
been told them"
One of the editors Of the Kentucky Home
Journal of Lexington, KY, who recently
visited this State says
IA tour through the Old Dominion will
surprise even those best posted in the de-
velopment going on. The growth and i'm
provement is so rapid that knowledge of
it to-day leaves you stranger almost to-
morrow. This movement is in the hands
of the leading men of the State who see that
through her mineral resources Virginia will
gain her pristine glory. The result will be
the building up of score or more of inland
industrial towns, while her tide water cities
will become among the most important on
the Atlantic coast. The trade now going
to these ports is increasing at an astonishing
rate. So much SO that property in both
Richmond and Norfolk is being bought up
by class of capitalists that look deeper
than the surface for investments. Go to
Virginia and look over the situation, it will
more than repay you for the time and ex-
pense, for you will seesa State whose name
but recently was anonymous with poverty
today on the high road to become one OF
the richest in the Union"

THE DIsCOURAGING EXPERIENCE OF AN AP-
PoMATTox COUNTY FARMER.
a Lynchburg special to the Baltimore
american says -
"Among the passengers on the Norfolk
& Western train to-day, from the East,
was MIR. Elijah Harlow, well.to- do farmer,
who lives near Bigley's Store, in Appomat-
tox county, In June last Mr.. Harlow, who
is about fifty years old, married Miss
Burton, of Barboursville, Nelson county,
aged about twenty-five years. He brought
his young bride to his Appomattox home
shortly after the wedding, since which
time they have, to all appearances, lived
happily together. A frequent visitor to the
Harlow home was young man named
George Kent, who formerly lived near
Gordonsville, where Mr.. Harlow resided
before moving to Appomattox. Being an
old friend of Kent, Mr.. Harlow never
suspected him until yesterday afternoon
Returning home from the field at dinner
time he found his wife absent. Thinking
she had gone to visit some neighbor, he ate
a cold dinner. Shortly after the repast a
friend drove past his house and asked him
where his wife and Kent were going. Har-
low replied that be did lot know, but on
being told that they had boarded the Nor
folk & Western tram at Pampiin's, he be-
came suspicious. He returned to the
house, ard after an investigation found
that his wjfe's trunk was gone, together
with about $400 of his money. Thinking
the elopeIs bad gone back to Orange
county, he came here this morning and
later took the Virginia Midland train for
Orange Courthouse in search of his truant
wife. Mr.. Harlow takes the matter very
philosophically and says il he can get half
his money back he will call it square, and
Kent can have the woman, as be will never
forgive her.

The Anfmus of the Force Bill.

We have maintained that ono of the CHIEF
objects of those who were advocating the
passage of the Lodge Election Bill, famil-
iarly known as the Force Bill, was to pre-
vent the influx of Northern Capital into
the South, and thus to paralyzs Southern
enterprises and to arrest the progress of the
development of Southern industries by Gre
ating disturbances and, as it has been
strongly expressed, "organizing hell in the
South
That this view was correct, is confirmed
by the following report by Mr.. Grasty Of
what Speaker Reed said to Mr.. W. P. Rice
of Boston,
Mr.. Grasty said: About two months age
Mr.. W. P. Rice, the leader in Southern in
vestments at Boston, had occasion TO visit
Washington. At his request went with
him. Having formerly been a noted New
England Republican he was warmly receiv-
ed Speaker Reed in his private room. Reed
had lost sight of the fact that Rice had
placed several millions of dollars in South
en- properties. and so be took him into his
confidence. Said Reed: 'See here, Rice,
something must be done to stop this exodus
of capital from New England. The South
threatens to paralyze our industrial prosper
ity. This Election bill will call a halt on
Southern investments, and that's why am
urging it 80 sternuously."
Mr.. Rice confidently reported this con-
versation to my friend Harry St. George
Tucker, of the Stauntop, (Va.) district, and
not only to him but to number of North.
ern and Eastern Representatives and Sena.
tors. At that moment it happened that
the very men on whom Reed most relied in
the Senate to strangle the South were 80
heavily interested in Southern properties
that, to man, they repudiated allegiance
to party and bethought them of the losses
that would have to be pocketed in case the
odious Force bill should be passed.

That PenSInl Business.

President Harrison and Secretary Win
dom may well be alarmed at the startling
pension figures revealed by our Washington
correspondent.
They portend financial difficulties of the
gravest import. Unless an effective remedy
is promptly applied only the most oppres-
siVe taxation of the people can save the na-
tional Treasury from depletion.
This is the result Of the most reckless and
Ubiquitous pension legislation known to
history. No one ever doubted that this ex-
travagance would cost the country millions
of dollars more than the highest estimates
made at the time the bill was put through.
Bus the reality, as shown by the Herald, has
far surpassed tho widest predictions then
ventured.
No administration, no party, can stand
by such legislation with lmpunity. The
republicans must undo the mischief they
have done or meet the consequences.-N.
Y. Herald.

THEY OBJECT TO ITS REMOvAL.-A prof.
ect is on foot to purchase the old Moore
house on the Temple farm near Yorktown
Va, and to remove it to Chicago, and erect
the building on the grounds of the Worlds
Fair as an exhibit of historic interest Of the
Revolutionary war. This old mansion was
the original building in which the terms of
the surrender of CORVALLIS we're drawn up
and signed by the defeated general. It was
subsequently occupied as the headquarters
of Washing ton and Lafayette. 1t is hoped
by the residents of that section that the
owners of the property will not consider a
sale and thus permit this historic building
of Revolutionary fame to be removed from
Virginia soil.

Quite q Contrast.


When MIR. Cleveland left the White
House Uncle Sam, says the New York
Herald, had a very handsome surplus in
the Treasury. European governments
looked at us with amazement and vainly
wished they could follow our example. But
they have big armies to maintain, and
these are costly luxury. 1t takes every
penny the tax-gatherer can collect to make
both ends meet, and even then there is apt
to be huge deficit at the end of the fiscal
year. We, on the contrary, have no army
at all, or next to none, and the cheapest
government on the globe.
The democrats pledged themselves to cut
down the rate of taxation and take from the
people no more money than was actually
needed to run the government. Cleveland
asserted that after the national bills were
paid it was crime to fitch dollars from the
general pocket.
Then came the republicans with their
ruinous Mckinley bill, their Force bill and
their bills to erect public buildingin every
town at the public expense, and by means
of unwarranted expenditure got away with
every dime. They wanted not only to pay
the disabled soldier for honorable service
but every deserter and hummer and bounty
jumper for his treachery. 1t was perfect
carnival of deals, bargains and universal
humbuggery. In order to meet these de-
msnds they taxed the woollen shirt on the
poor mans back, the drugs for his sick
child, the window glass in his home, his
kitchen utensils and the coffin in which his
dead wers buried.
They say that all this will make US pros
porous. They might as wall say that if
you wish to be healthy and strong the
surest way is to get the grippe or have an
attack of paralysis.
The pension agent, however. is happy.
He rakes in the dollars, buys yacht and
country house, gives grand dinners and
thinks the republican party is the finest in
slitution of the country.
The people have al opinion on these SUBJ
jects. They made few remarks on
Novem Der and will have something more
