DECREASED ASSESSMENT. = 1t seems
strange that rich agricultural counties
should show decrease of assessment, as
in the case of the following
Augusta, 1924, 900; Albemarle. Ss77, $50;
Clarke, $4S4, 438; Frederick, $421 ,O92; Lou
douu, So, 1871, $40; Prince William, $3.50, OIL;
Shenandoah, $65. 952; Warren, Sal, 04O.
The chief cause of this result, no doubt,
is attributable to the low price of agricul-
tural products.

DR.. w. W. Douglas of Richmond county.
heretofore one of the leading republicans in
his section Of the State, has renowned the re-
publican party and its sectional and South
hating policy, and come out boldly for the
democratic candidate tor Congress in his dis
trict. The Force bill and the proposed high
tariff bill have, and only naturally, driven
nearly all the Intelligent white men of the
South back into the democratic party. not be-
cause they approve all the measures or admire
all the leaders Of that party, but because it is
the national party OF the country, while the
republican party is the sectional party. whose
foundation is hate for and a desire to injure
the people who live in the South.-Ale1a7Iria

The Philadelphia Public Ledger wfuds
up an editorial article on the Farmers Al
lance, of Michigan, with the remark that
'the only thing approaching principle in
this Alliance is that the farmers should be
coddled, and everybody else taxed to make
up for their exemption"
Well, as for thirty years everybody
else' has been eoddled, and the farmers
numerically taxed, "to make up for their
exemption" it is no wonder that the
farmer should at last seek little cod
ding for himself.
While this is natural, we cannot think 1t
wise. The baby is too big, and it would
bankrupt the national estate (the greater
portion of which is his) to furnish the
necessary amount of pap.
We have an abiding faith in the good
sense of the farmers, and we feel sure that
that good sense will eventually lead them
to adopt the only true policy of relief, viz.
equal and exact justice to all, no special
favors to any class. This is, and has been.
the principle of the Democratic party, and
should be the principle of every farmer

The Strike a Failure.

1t seems to be the genera. expression OF
opinion that the strike of the Heights of
Labor on the New York Genital Railroad
was injudicious and without sufficient
cause and that it will be failure. A man
represented to be high in the councils of
one of the great organizations of railroad
employees, is reported to have said
1.-THE Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
Qineers and the Brotherhood of Locomo.
tive Firemen, the Brotherhood of Train
men and the Switchmen's Mutual Aid As
ISOLATION have been appealed to and have
each refused to give any assistance what
ever to the Knights Of Labor. This means
that the Lake Shore aud the Michigan
Central cannot by any possibility bs tied
up, and that the Brotherhood men stand
ready to handle New York Central cars"
Without the cooperation of these organ
izations, the strike is destined to fail.

within our own district, but has called forth
words OF commentator and praise from many

nomination by reclamation Is fully deserved.
His best efforts have not only been exerted
for the good of his constituents and the coun-
try at large. but those efforts and the sound
wisdom in his remarks have elevated him In
the minds of high political leaders and caused
him to be taken in con sultation by them. His
