Shenandoah Ministerial Institute met
in its regular semi-annual session at
Spring Hill the 9th inst, and continued
until the 18th. The sessions were we'll
attended and fullof interest. The min
listers of the district inaattendance, were:

Donavan, J. C.S. Myers, s. L. Rice. g.
B. Fadeley, w. II. Berry. K. l.. Dorsey,
N. A. Karicofe and s. D. Shelton. The
papers prepared and read before the In
stitute were all excellent productions.
and the discussions arising .therefrom
were very instructiyea and revealed much
of wit and wisdom on the part Of those
participating. The interest of the peo-
pie in the work of the Institute con-
tinued to grow with every session, and
their great regret was that it closed when
it did. The visiting ministers expressed
themselves highly pleased with the
treatment which they received by way
Of entertainment, and by rising vote
rendered their thanks to the good peo-
pie of this place for their kindness to
them. We are sure they would like to
come back again.

Speaker Reed.

The election in Maine on the 8th inst,
resulted in a Republican triumph. In
the Portland District, represented by
Hon. Thos. b. Reed, speaker of the
House of Representatives, extraordinary
efforts were made to defeat him or at
least to decrease his accustomed major
ity of about 900 on an average. Instead
OF reduction his plurality was nearly
5000, the largest he ever received, and
this, too, on a reduced popular VOTE
Large sums of money were placed in the
district by the Democrats; Senator
Hearst, of California, a millionaire Dem
ocrat, sending 1900, the result of his
winnings at recent horse race, illus
trating the old axiom, little changed,
that a gambler and his money soon part
Reeds triumph was remarkable. He
did not claim over 1000 majority. and
his most sanguine friends about 1850.
The large increase to nearly 5000, indi-
Gates that the Main Republicans are
still stalwart, and when they hump their
backs they mean business. The result
gives Mr.. Reed exceptional prominence
in national affairs, and will introduce
his name to the next Republican Ma
tional Convention under favorable
auspices.

Cumberland Valley Railroad nxten,


The convention of delegates from the
Valley counties to consider the extern
sion of the Cumberland Valley r. r..
met in the Court House yesterday at 70
o'clock, and was called to order by Hon
A. B. Lightner, who nominated Thos. s.
Hogshead as chairman. DR.. D. A. Buch-
err, Rockingham, s. B. Allen, of Augusta,
and M. Sterret, of Rockbridge, were
elected secretaries.
Col. j. G. Shields, associate editor of
the Spectator, was called upon to explain
the object of the meeting. Col. Shields
is the father of this movement, and
more familiar with the details and bear
ings of all questions involved than any
other person. He briefly explained the
objects to be considered
Capt. James Bumgardner was called
for, and in a forcible, clear and instruc-
tive style, demonstrated not only the
richness of the country, but the abso-
lutte necessity of railroad which would
and must ultimately be built, to trans
port the products and mineral wealth of
the Valley OF Virginia. We exceedingly
regret that our limited time prevents a
full report of Capt. Bumgardner's re-
marks.
The meeting was large one and rep
resentative in its character Augusta,
Rockbridge and Rocking ham were rep
resented. The delegates from Rocking
ham. were: James s. Lowman, Jno. w.
Click, G. H. Hulvey, AID. Holler, s M.
Woodward. g. w. Berlin, B.. M. Rice
Henry Dice, Oliver Rice, d. A. Butcher
and L. G.. Driver .,ti.,
On motion of 8. Brown Allen, the fol-
lowing committee was appointed to re-
port business for the meeting Col. J. c.
| Shields, s. b Allen, j. s. McCorkle, DIR.
James T. Clarke, Daniel E. East, Heber
Ker, John w. Click, H. s. Beard, Ran.
Cushen. The committee had before it
lrge volume of valuable information
from local committees. but for want of
time to give it proper consideration, re
ported that in view of the fact that this
committee has not time to consider pro
perly the questions submitted to it, we re-
commend that a b-committee, consist
ing of s. Brown Allen, Heber Ker and
John 8. McCorkle be appointed to col
lect and formulate information to be re-
ported to the committee to visit the au-
thorities of the Cumberland Valley
Railroad. We recommend the appoint
ment of the following committee to visit
the authorities of the Cumberland Val
ley Railroad: Hon. J. Ran. Tucker and
w. F. johnson, of Rockbridge; 8. B.
Allen, A. b. Lightner, Ed. Mcmahon, of
Augusta; Prof. G. H. Hulvey, Maj. Geo.
Chrisman, OF Rockingham r. M. Lautz
and Mr.. Corver, of Shenandoah and
Capt. W. H. Sale, of Frederick
The report of the committee was adop-
ted, and after short address by Prof
Huivey, the meeting adjourned. ~
We regret that the late hour prevents
a fuller report of what was most in
teresting, profitable and characteristic
meeting.

MISS Caroline Harrison.

The HarrisOnburg papers announce
the death OF Miss Caroline Harrison in
that place last week, aged s6 years. She
was the daughter of DIR. Peachy Harri-
son, distinguished physician Of that
place 30 years ago. a sister OF DIR. Gesner
Harrison. OF the University OF Virginia
faculty. and DIR. Rush Harrison, who
died in Harrisonburg some years ago, in
the flush of useful and brilliant pro-
fessional career. Miss Carrie was lady
of splendid character, beloved by all
who knew her and benediction to the
community in which she lived and died.
Death of JOS. F. Gibson.
We regret to learn of the death Mr..
Joseph F. Gibson, agent of the South
ern Express Company in Richmond. He
died suddenly on the morning of the
18th from heart disease. He was ma
tive Of Augusta county, and a gentleman
of the highest character. His sister,
Miss Lizzie Gibson, has been for num-
Der OF years one OF the faculty at the
Wesleyan Female Institute.
The stringency in the money market
in New York caused considerable uneasi-
ness last week. The government came
in to devise means to relieve it. Secre-
tary of the Treasury Window met on
consultation a number of the bankers
and business men. The result of the
conference was that he determined to
purchase $18,OO0,OO0 4 per cent bonds;
advance three-fourths of the interest in
currency per cents; and to extend the
time for paying the duties ON imported
goods in bond from October, as provided
in the tariff bill, to February 1. This,
of course, was to be recommended to
Congress. and there is no doubt nf it
being adopted. Mr.. Window expressed
the opinion that there could be no seri-
GUS disturbance OF business, and that
relief provided for would be sufficient
for present purposes.

Mr.. Hume is Democrat, and his name
was mentioned in connection with the
regular nomination of that party But
it was withdrawn upon the ground of
irregularities in the election of some of
the delegates. We presume the Repub-
licans will not nominate a candidate,
but generally support Hume. We heard
a prominent politician say in Washing
ton a few days ago, that Hume would
be an independent candidate and would
be elected by 1900 majority. Until this
we were not aware that there was much

It is admitted by all impartial, reflect
ing men that the protective policy has
been the prime cause of the wonderful
progress of the country within the past
quarter of a century. It is also known
that our industrial future is predicated
upon the laws embracing the protective
principle. 1t is further admitted that
to radically change that base would
cause the whole supelstructure to topple
and fall It is known that agitation
looking to sach disturbances has been
the SOU &c of business depression, unset
tied financial conditions and injury to
trade generally. 1t is important to have
solidity and stability in the fundamental
conditions of our extended and ramlfied
industries This we are assured o.
When the tariff bin now under consider
alton has once been enacted into law 1t
will SO stand for years to ct me, with
such modific atoms as the changing con-
ditions of business may require, because
the Republican Senate that has passed
it will remain Republican at least for 4
years, and probably u. Even should
the House and the Executive DIT partment
pass into Democratic hands, the Senate
would stand as a barrier to any harmful
change in the direction of free trade. So
we may rest assured that the policy that
has brought the country to its present
unexanpled condition of wealth and
prosperity will continue certainly for 4
years, and probablya much longer time
This assurance will settle the business
nerve of the country, encourage invest
ments in industrial enterprises, and in
spire confidence with the business men
of the nation.
