What II Means.

The Nashville american in speaking of
that feature of LoDGE's bill which requires
COO signatures in order to the conversion of
a State-controlled election into one con-
trolled by Federal pimps, says that this
means that elections in the North are TO be
under State control and in the South
under Federal control. 1t is the worst
kind of sectional legislation.
Oh, no. There are no better Democrats
In the United States than some of those
who are to be found in the northern
States. We know them well enough to
know that even if Congress allows that fea-
ture to remain in the bill, there Will be
found in every congressional district in
the North where they are needed more
than five hundred voters who will make
common cause with their wronged and
down-trodden brethren in the South,
and see to it that no factory boss
shall make his employees vote the
Republican ticket if they can be
kept out of his sight long enough to
enable them TO deposit their ballots. The
Australian system proper, if Congress
should adopt it---as it will not-will prove
10 be a boomerang. We shall suffer I'M
told wrongs in the South. but the Repub-
lican party will suffer "a see-change" in
Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and other
northern States. However. the Republi-
can rascals are not going to allow us the
Australian system. They will force the
LODGE eystem upon us

AFRANKLIN-COUNTY BOOM.
Rich Iron Ores Around Rocky Mount
Railroad Facilities and Plans for
neveIOpmpnt

tCorrespopdenco OF the Richmond Dspatch.l
Rocky MOUNT, Va, March II, 1890.
Last night was the coolest of the winter
in this section, and if il continues cold
until tomorrow there will be some chance
of getting ice.
Real estate in Rocky Mount has adj
vanced rapidly in price recently, and that
genuine boom is in store for The, people Oh
this town and county there can be no rea-
sonable doubt.
There is on inexhaustible bed of the finest
magnetic iron ore III the State within a few
hundred yards of the corporate limits OF
this town. These mines are owned by
Clarence NJ. Clark. Esq, the Phlladelphia
capjtalist. who also owns tho PIney-Hlll
mines near Roanoke City. It Is expected
that the Roanoke and Southern railroad
will be built as far Is Rocky Mount within
the next twelve or fifteen months. MIR.
Clark has pledged 10 this company Tor ship
ment from his Rocky Mount mines 100 tons
of ore per day This enormous output
from these mines will necessitate the en-
ployment of hundreds of hands, and ex-
perts say that furnace or two Will
certainly be built here some time
in the near future. As an earnest
of Mr. Clark's intentions large stationary
engine and oil other necessary machinery
and mining implements have arrived here,
and buildings are beng erected prepa-
ratory to mining on large scale. Leases
and options have been taken on hundreds
of tracts of mineral lands in the county
recently and some very fine specimens OF
magnetic ores are exhibited from various
sections of the county. A distinguished
mineralogist who has been engaged in
testing some ores in this county recently
remarked TO some gentlemen that he be-
lieved There was more iron and of bet
ter quality in Franklin than in the whole
of Southwest Virginia"
Mr.. McCarty, who represents the. Eng
lish syndicate who have decided to locate
q furnace 1T Salem. has promised to visit
Franklin at an early day with view to To-
eating furnace in this county. He is
specially anxious to get control of Frank
lin county ores.
These people by reason of the lack Of
railroad facilities have thus far labored I'M
der many Disadvantages and have fallen
behind more favored sections in this par
ticular. but the Roanoke and Southern
railroad will develop such magnificent
mineral properties in this county known
now to exist that Franklin will 90 to the
very forefront rs one of the richest coun-
ties of all the State.
A number of capitalists are expected
here tomorrow to examine mineral pro-
pertIes and some interesting develop
ments are likely to follow their visit.

Mr.. Daniel and His Speech.

The reader will perhaps be surprised to
learn that the following Washington spe-
cial appeared in yesterdays New York Trf-
baine
Senator Daniel of Virginia, made
striking and effective speech this afternoon
in behalf of the Blair educational bill.
What he said was interesting and TO the
point, and the Virginia Senator can always
30 depended upon for the graces of q
flushed oratorical manner. Probably
the most noteworthy thing about the
speech was Mr. Daniels frank announce
ment that in the light of the legislative his
tory Of the country for the last fifty years
he was forced TO consider the broad con-
struction theory of the Constitution as es-
tablished beyond controversy. his edu-
cation and political training had all been
of the sort to give him q production for
the strict construction theory; but. look
ing candidly at the facts of history, he
found the universal tendency of political
opinion and Of legislative action all the
other way The logic of language might
sustain some of his fellow-senators from
tho South, who found tho Blair bill uncon;;
stitutional but the logic of fact laughed
them ont of court. ,..,
"Such heretical doctrine brought forth
an astonished rebuke from Senator Harris,
Of Tennessee. a venerable stickler for the
strictest Interpretation of every syllable of
the Constitution. Then Senators Reagan
and Coke, two more constitutional ex-
merits. tried 10 oyerawe the Virginia ora
tor by reading various passages IN the
Constitution. But with the aid OF senator
George, of Mississippi, Mr.. Daniel held his
ground successfully, giving back to his in
quisitors as good as he got. Senator Ed
munds came over To the Democratic side
to enjoy the argument, and incidentally
coached Mr.. Daniel here and there in the
latter's rejoinders to his critics. The Yer;
mont Senator congratulated Mr.. Daniel
warmly at the close of his speech"
Mr.. DANIEL and Dir. BARBOUR are both
abreast with the times. 1t would be worse
than playing 'possum" to accept the
LODGE bill and decline the BLAIR bill.

a SENSATION
Caused by the Death OF millionaire.
rSnoclai telopram to the Dispatch.l

Rocky MoUHT, VA. March ia great
sensation has been created in this county
within the past few days by the meeting Of
the heirs to the Fisher estate in Germany,
estimated in value at S52.000,00O There
are fourteen heirs in this county. the de-
scendants, they claim, of one Of the three
brothers of the deceased German million
alre who emigrated to Amcrlca-one To-
eating in Maryland. another In Virginia,
and the third one in Indiana. II Is claim
ed that the will of the deceased Is III the
hands of the children Of the Indiana bro
Their. recently deceased.
The Fishers of this county, though not
rich. are woll-to-d0 people Of considerable
means in the aggregate, and are deter
mined and intelligent men. They held
meeting recently aud determined to prose-
cute their claims to q portion of the estate,
and with this end in view promptly put up
n sufficient sum TO pay a fee aud expenses
of a legal representative TO go at once TO
Uacerstown and Frederick City. in Mary
land. and examine the records OF the
clerks Office at those points for intorma-
tion relative TO their descent and claims.
The representative left this morning.
Similar work IL said TO be in progress in
other sections OF the country in behalf OF
the other alleged heirs. Unless this estate
like some others reverts TO the Grown, II
would be seen that there is q fair prospect
OF the heirs coming into possession OF
rood round sum.

waters Of The Atlantic. Five or SIX miles
from the shore a lofty iron light house rises
ont Of the water, above the once-dreaded
Fowey Rocks, and at APPOINT eleven miles
and half east OF this lighthouse the IN
terest in the work accomplished by tho
Blake centres.
1.-THE purpose for which the Blake. hos
been kept in these waters so long has been
the location of the fountain-head OF the
mighty oceanic current called the Cult
Stream. Ii has popularly been regarded
and has been represented on the maps as
sweeping around through the Caribbean
Sea and Gulf of Mexico. and thence pour
ing out into the Atlantic through tho
Straits Of Florida. Others have regarded
the mysterious stream as the continuation
of the flow of the Mississippi river. and
various other theories have had their adj
herents. Now all the old theories are
ovorthrown and the mystery is increased
by the discovery that the Gulf stream
originates from the depths OF the
sea-at the point above mentioned, eleven
and one-half miles east of Fowey ROCKS!
We hardly know whether to regard the
above story as true or false, especially as
the moon has been found TO have Won
derful influence upon thelhow OF the water.
We await further Developments.
