The object of this company is the deYel-
opment of the town of West Point, Va, by
developing its natural advantages as a man
ufacturing centre, and TO utilize It's beautl-
full location and healthy climate as sum-
mer resort.
West Point is situated at the confluence of
the MattapOni and Pamunkey rivers and at
the head of York river, the former streams
both being navigable by steamers Tor many
miles. There is depth OF water mere al
the wharves Of the Richmond and Danyllle
Railroad Company OF twenty-l0ur leei'
Steamers of all natiOnalities load and dis
charge their cargoes at these wharyes.
These steamers are of large tonnage, being
engaged principally in the cotton-carrying
trade. and during the cotton season from
three TO four hundred thousand bales oil
cotton find an outlet to foreign markets d.
rect from this port.
This town is the deep-water terminus OF
the system of roads controlled by the
Richmond and West Point Terminal
Company, comprising over six thousand
(G,0OO) miles Of railroad, and is the direct
outlet for the entire Richmond and DanVllic
system, which includes three thousand one
hundred and twenty-five miles OF railway.
The wharyes Of the company cover in
extent nearly thirty acres, upon which Is
compress in which to handle their great and
growing business at this place.
From West Point regular lines OF steam
ers ply 10 Baltimore, New York, Boston,
and Providence, and through this town
passes very large percentage OF the mer-
chandse coming 10 the South from North
ern cities. And through here the manufac-
lures of the South and the pig-iron OF
Birmingham, Sheffield, and Florence find
their outlet TO the North.
The Old Dominion Steamship Company.
the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Richmond
Steamboat Company, the Merchants and
Miners Transportation Company, and the
regular steamers to Liverpool and Client
run direct from this harbOr.
West Point has over fOur(D miles Of river
frontage, with ample water to float vessels
of any dimension, and, in addition to this,
the channel bears close 10 the shore, obYlat-
ing the necessity of heavy piles and eXpen-
siye wharves in order TO reach the vessels.
There is no deep water on the Atlantic
coast on which wharyes can be erected as
cheaply as at West Point, and, after cree
ton, where they can be kept in good condl-
ton at such a nominal cost.
The population Of the town at present i
300, and il is thriving, growing, progress
.iye town. Among the several industries OF
the town in operation is Cotton Compress
and an Electric Light Plant, from which ].
lighted by electric lights the streets, railroad
wbaryes, stores, and many of the residences.
1t is to-day the fifth cotton port OF the
United States, and is known wherever the
lleecy staple is used.

Normal Schools.

The Rutland Herald let's up on its
high license hobby long enough to
give the Normal Schools of Vermont
a whack. The Normal School gues-
tion was pretty thoroughly discussed
in the last legislature, and the fact
elected that very good work was
done in all three of them. We believe
that since then the work has con-
tinued to improve until now it is of
a very high order and is credit to
our state. 1t is not true that " the
low grade OK education in the Normal
Schools brings perpetual lobbying in
their interests to get legislation fav-
oring as teachers the graduates, who
could not get employment on their
merits" Legislation may be resorted
to to elevate the standard of teach
ers and protect those who have fitted
themselves as teachers at a great ex-
pense, but not for the above reason.
Some of the best teachers the state
has are those who completed their
education in the Normal School and
were there fitted for the exacting and
trying duties of n teacher We I'M
derstand that all of the schools are
well patronized; in fact we know this
to be the case with the onelocated at
johnson, which has an attendance
now larger than at any other time in
its history. There may be a time
whenit will beconsidered advisable to
unite all three schools in one, but at
present the friends of education say
"let we'll enough alone"

Who PAYS the Duty?

Senator Edmunds tells this story
which has before been printed in
these columns: 1t was in 1870 that
somebody started the cry that we
must do something to make coffee
on the breakfast tables of all the
sons of toll cheaper. So all hands
uniting, we reduced the duty on cot
fee from five cents a pound to three
cents, and we all went home glad
that we had turned the morning sun
shine into the cottage of the farmer.
The farmer was glad too, but when
he went to buy his coffee he found
he had to pay just what he had be-
fore, because, Immediately it became
known at Rio that a law had passed
congress, reducing the duty on coffee
from five to three cents a pound, the
price of coffee at Rio for expectation
to the United States rose in Just that
proportion.
1t was in 1890 that somebody
started the cry that we must do
something to make lumber cheaper,
and so all hands uniting, we reduced
the duty on pine lumber from two
dollars to one dollar per thousand
feet. Immediately it became known
in Canada that a law had passed
Congress, reducing the duty on pine
lumber from two dollars to one dol
lar per thousand feet, the Canadian
lumber dealers advanced the price of
pine lumber for expectation to the
United States fifty cents per thousand
feet, the railroad companies declared
their determination to advance the
rates of freight on pine lumber, and
leading Canadian lumber dealers
openly declared their purpose of get
ting Just as much of what was left of
the dollar reduction in duty on pine
lumber as was possible.
We are not criticising the action or
Congress in reducing the duty on pine
lumber Under the circumstances it
was undoubtedly a wise thing to do.
But the lumber dealers hereabouts
frankly admit that the small con-
sumner is not likely to be benefited a
penny by the reduction. The free
trade theory is that a reduction of
dollar a thousand in duty should re-
duce the cost of the article on which
the duty is thus reduced to about the
same extent, but it doesn't seem to
work in this instance. Whopays the
duty?-l Free Press.

Tin and Sugar.

Free Traders are making a great
deal of noise just now over the Nc
Kinley bill and predict dire disaster
to everybody as a result. An ex-
change proposes to meet these calam-
ity-shriekers on their own ground
and doses them regarding tin-plate
in this Style
The Democrats are making great
hullabaloO over the alleged increase
in the price of canned goods to the
consumer, because the Mckinley Tar
if bill puts a duty on all imported
tin-plate. Let us leave out of the
matter the important argument that
this duty will result in the establish
ment of a tin-plate industry here,
whose final result will be cheaper tin
than ever, as was the case with silks,
carpets, iron and steel, and hundreds
of other articles. In the first place,
their wild assertion that tin-plate
has already advanced, can only be
true on the assumption that the
dealers in tin-plate are dishonest, be-
cause the new duty does not go into
effect until July, 1891, or nearly nine
months hence, so there is no reason
whatever for a present advance. But
more than this An ordinary can
never has 1lore than a quarter of
pound of tin in it. This would with
the new duty make it's additional
cost less than one-third of a cent,
and on a dozen cans, say of peaches,
the additional cost would be about
81 cents.
If the argument stopped here there
would be little room for whining.
But it doesn't. In each can of peach
es half a pound of sugar is used,
Now, after the first day of April, the
duty on sugar is to be reduced two
and a half cents a pound. So, taking
sugar and tin together, the can of
peaches will cost less than it does
now, and ought to be sold cheaper.
On dozen cans of peaches, esti-
mated in this way, there would be
for the duty on tin an advance in
cost of three and a half cents, and
with the reduced duty on sugar a de-
crease of Is cents, or a net decrease
of over eleven cents. See? There
never was a follower humbug than
this Democratic cry of increased bur-
dens to the consumer because of the
Mckinley bill.

Paving Supreme Court Judges

The bill to reduce the pay of SUI
preme court judges, at the same
time increasing their labors, is carry
ing economy" 20 the verge of folly.
Few lawyers qualified to fill the
iudgeship could afford to sacrifice
practice and prospects for less than
$4,000. Efficiency, at whatever
cost, is the cheapest in the long run,
in such matters. There is no likeli-
hood, however, that the bill will re-
ceive serious consideration. The
economy that the peopleare demand
ing is not at the expense of the eff
cheney of public service, but the cut
ting off of fat Offices, commissions,
etc, that are created with an eye to
paying Herewith the political debts
of the powers that be, and also in in
stances where the hOnors of the po-
sition may fairly be claimed an offset

He was borE St Ober Hill, in Eden,
Nov. Z, 1914 and therefore came to
the age of military duty just in the
time of o2r cOuntry's need. He had
a passion and aptness for music,
which he employed as a means of use
fulness, and by (which he endeared him
self to q wide circle of friends, es-
pecially by his. ready and selfsacri-
ticing services at funerals and other
occasions of need. So he enlisted as
regimental bugler, and received the
highest promotion possible in that
branch of service-that of Brigade
bugler; being elected to that Office
by Massachusetts brigade
Soon after two years service in the
army he married Lizzie Vigant, of
Elmore, who died on the 23rd of Oct
last year. Together, they settled in
Eden, where Mr.. ODER engaged in the
lumber business, with it's varying
fortunes, until his death.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ober were members
of the Methodist church, and were
eyer ready to help forward to the eX-
tent OF their ability every good, and
especially every Christian, enterprise.
Their son ard daughter, and the
widowed mother of each of them, will
most sorely miss the "heads of the
home. And few bereaved friends will
have so wide circle of truly bereft
friends, who are called to sympathize
as these. AS a man Mr..
ODER was faithful to his convictions
of right up to the measure of his abil-
ity to us. The loss of such is always
felt. S.
