A Truthful Comment on Staunton.

The Highland Recorder of last Friday
contains the very just complaint which we
give below. The Staunton merchants are
surely overlooking their own interest in the
matter named, as the VINDICAToR has
tried hard to show them. The editor of
the Recorder has been very active in for
warding this enterprise, and his complaint
is a natural one:
''Staunton has less enterprise about her than
we thought she had or she don know good
thing when she sees it. One-half the money
has been raised in Highland to build tele-
phone from this point to Staunton, and the
other half was promised by Staunton; but no
action has been taken by the merchants of
that place that we are aware of, and this is
the reason we say she is slow. A line to this
county will bring Staunton in direct commu-
nication with all points west, in Virginia and
portions of West Virginia, and this will be a
great advantage to her merchants, and bust
ness men generally, who are in any way in
terested in this country. We hope the time is
close at hand when Staunton will be willing
to hold out some inducement to our people,
who have done the bulk of their trading there
since she existed. A change must and will
come, and it is not far distant.

Don't Want Staunton Men fol- her
Policemen.

At Roanoke last week before apolice JUS
tice, case was tried where. a woman had
been trapped by police officer into selling
liquor against the law. Judge Williams,
the woman S counsel, is reported by the
Roanoke Herald as denouncing the police
and saying:
Here we have Staunton bar-keeper put on
the force soon after he reaches the city, and
another man who came in August doing pub
lie duty for the last two months. Roanoke
needed good citizens, substantial and honest
for police duty. They would appeal from the
decision in the first case against their client
and fight it out in The Hastings Court.
The Herald adds:
Judge Williams was commended by mum.

spies and the practice of appointing as police
men, men who have not acquired legal resi-
dence in the city.

VINDICAToR OFFICE

STAUNTON, VA, Nov. Goth.
The feature in the grain market this week is
the heavy decline in wheat. Several days the
decline OF 2 to cents was established only
to be followed by a like decline the next day.
The decline for the week may be put at 10 cts
per bushel, and in the leading markets of the
world wheat is now lower than it has been at
any time this season. Several things have
contributed to this state of affairs, the strin-
gency in money, the decline in Wall Street
stocks, and above all, and more than all, the
accumulation Of wheat in the market places,
caused by continuous and heavy receipts from
the West and the absence of foreign demand.
Fortunately the decline has not been as great
in Stauhton as elsewhere, but even here the
price has descended below the dollar mark,
and it is not i'll demand even at present low
figures.
Corn has declined in other markets in SYM
pathy with wheat In Staunton the price re-
mains same as last week.
Hay is dull. Shippers find it impossible to
do any business because the Railroad Compa-
MES will not furnish cars to ship in. This is
particularly trne of S. V. r. r. and the B. &
0. r. r. These Railroad Companies do not
furnish cars for weeks and weeks after being

The Fashionable Night OF the Season

Those will be fortunate who get good
seats at the Opera House to hear Clara
Louise Kellogg in opera next Thursday
night. 1t will be the night of the season.
Besides the second act of the opera of ''La
Favorita, there will be given the famous
quartette from 'Rigoletto. This great Anne
rican vocalist brings with her an excellent
troupe, though she alone would be suffici-
ent attraction to crowd the house. It is
useless for us to do more than to advise our
readers to secure their seats early. The
female colleges will be strongly represented
on Thursday night, and our people know
that that means seats hard to get if not
gotten early.

Acceptable Gifts to the Asylum.

Following a custom that prevails with
Northern institutions, several prominent
merchants of Staunton have recently pre-
sented to the Western Lunatic Asylum a
dozen large, handsomely mounted pictures,
each of the firms donating one picture.
This liberality has enabled the Superinten-
dent to ornament the halls with engravings
which will compare, in the taste and ap-
propriateness of the subjects represented,
and in artistic style, with any private col
lection in the city.

asked for them, and hay dealers find it prac-
tcally out of the question to do business. The
legislature last winter passed law providing
that when railroad company fails after )
DAYS notice to furnish cars for hay or grain,
the railroad company would be liable Tor
damage. Now is good time for some one TO
test this law. The way to proceed is to give
notice for car, and after waiting three days
haul the hay to the depot, and if the agent
hasn't car and refuses to allow it to be put
in the depot, pack the hay on the ground. The
law requires the railroad to take care OF 1t Oh
pay the damages-and if they see the farmers
mean business cars will be furnished prompt
ly enough. A great deal of money is being
lost by our farmers because of the failure OF
the railroads to furnish cars for hay, and be-
sides the money consideration, farmers are los
ing the chance to haul their stuff during the
good weather and over good roads, and will
have it to do in all probability when the
weather is bad and the roads bottomless.
The Philadelphia Record of Saturday in its
review of the grain markets of the country for

influence liquidation, particularly in the
West. The range Of quotations in the various
markets indicates decline of to AZ cents
per bushel in the price of wheat, and of "a to
81 cents per bushel in the price of corn Ex-
port business has been checked by the unset
tied financial conditions, as we'll as by the
instability of the market for the grain

THE FARMER AS A POWER IN POL
ITICS.
What the farmers want is combination
like other interests. You cannot find any
man up for congress attacking the whiskey
interest. If he does, the whiskey interest
combines at once to knock the filing out
Of him. One farmer don't amount to much
it is true. A gnat ON bulls horn don't
either. But you let whole lot OF gnats
get on HIM and in his eyes and up his nose.
and you'll see the bull striking for high
timber pretty soon (applause). They say
that the big victory this month was a Dem
ocratic one. [ tell you that John 2. Stell
OF Illinois, a Republican, did more towards
it than anybody else. In his Alliance paper
he said that the Republicans had done
everything else against the farmer land now
they wanted to pass a Force bill to tie the
States and keep him down (applause). This
victory wasn't a political one.
Suppose We opened our Alliances to NOM
nations for office! Every fellow that
couldn't get nomination in the old parties
would be rushing in to get one from us.
And dirty lot of nominees we should get,
shouldn't we? (Applause). Suppose we
made Third Party and made it a success!
How long do you think it would be before
