The Board of Directors of the Virginia
Mining and Investment Company held
meeting in Staunton Saturday last.
w. E. Craig, secretary and treasurer. re-
signed, on account Of his professional
engagements, which made it impossible
for him to give the offices the necessary
attention. Jacob Yost was elected to
fill the vacancy. James Clark. a wealthy
business citizen of Cumberland, Md,
and stakeholder in the Company. was
elected Director to fill out the Board.
The preparations for mining at their val
liable iron ore property, near Vesuvlus,
on the Norfolk and Western road. II
miles southeast of Staunton, are going
on Satisfactorily. There has been some
technical delay in providing the deed to
the right of way to the mines tof the
Norfolk an d Western management,
which has been the cause of the railroad
track not having been laid at this time
The necessary formalities have now
all been observed and within two weeks
it is expected the track will be ready for
the rolling stock. A modern ore washer
has been erected at the mines, 1nclines
constructed, and all necessary prelmi-
nary arrangements made for mining and
shipping ores as soon as the railroad is
in order. A night and day force will be
worked at the mines, when operations

no taxable resources, and no avenues of
trade and travel, there are now thriving
states and territories, and all the at
fractions and accomplishments of civili-
cation and progress. We have the
States of North and South Dakota, Col
| ington, Montana, and the territories of
| Utah, New Mexico and Arizona-all of
them organized as a result of the cons
! struction of the railroads except Utah,
peopled by Mormons, and New Mexico,
| by Mexicans. Railroads interlace and
unite all their communities, and thrift
and prosperity mark the progress of
each one of them. Notwithstanding
this fact, we have political demagogues
assailing the policy of the government,
by which the railroads were constructed,
and demanding that the lands donated
| to them be reclaimed, after the corpor-
ations have complied with their con-
tracts, as a condition of the grants. Of
course, every sensible man knows that
this insane and insincere demand will
never be be realized, and that they are
made to deceive the ignorant and delude
the unsuspecting. They are made by
INSCRIPTIONS and dishonest partizans
for partizan effect, to create the i'm
preston that the government has been
robbed of the public lands by corpora
tions and that there has been no return
or compensation for the donations. Mil
lions on millions of money have been real
lied by the government out of that which
was desert lands, since the roads have
been completed. Thousands on thou
sands of industries, enterprising people
have their homes where the Indian and
Buffalo reigned supreme, and from the
Missouri to the Pacific is almost one
continuous settlement, surrounded by
the comforts of civilization and refine
ment, with churches and schools, thea.
tres and parks, and all the refined an,
pointments which follow the formation
of American communities.

More Indi ans in North America Now
Than Ever Before.

From the Albany Evening Journal !
"One of the most curious and wide
spread of all popular delusion is that
which relates to the supposed steady
determination of the Indians Of North
America before the march of civillza-
ton. 1t was an officer Of the Bureau of
Ethnology at Washington who made
this remark. "As. matter of fact" he
added, "the Indians are probably more
numerous on this continent to-day than
they have ever been in the past, and
they are steadily increasing in numbers
from year to year.
"There are now in the United States
265,0OO Indians. When Columbus
landed they were almost undoubtedly
of less number. The Indians for the time
lived altogether by the chase. Under
such conditions an enormous extent Of
territory is necessary to supply tribe
with food. Each tribe, as things were
then, ranged over great expanse
appropriated to its own use in the pur-
suit Of game and fish. Between one
tribes hunting ground and that of an
other was always an extensive dividing
strip. The whole country mapped out
on this and could not sustain more than
a small population.
"There is the best possible reason for
believing that two centuries and half
ago the Indians in what is now the
United States east of the Mississippi
did not altogether exceed $4,000"

pacity for it or the time for it is gone.
This world is full of fun-and honest,
legitimate fun. Ridiculous things are
everywhere.
Loving our fellow man heartily, hon
estly sympathizing with his weaknesses
as rejecting ours, sharing his sorrows
SIS it is our privilege and duty to do,
earnestly penitent for our own sins and
faithfully endeavoring to amend them,
Loyalty giving help to our weaker
brother and increasingly striving for
higher and better life, there is no
reason why We may not with it all
look about Us and find in the doings
and sayings of an fellow mortals
enough things to laugh at to secure for
US large share Of thepleasure we were
sent into the world to enjoy along with
the pain we were sent into the world
to endure.

THE BOOK MONOPOLY.

The act of the late Legislature
compelling the common schools
in the State to use certain books
on temperance iscreating little
disturbance among the tax pay
ers. This class Of poeplein North
Carolina have enough burdens to
bear and now that the temper
ance system has been brought
in, the burden is still the greater.
Again, the question arises, vast
not fixed job to palm off upon
the st tie a set of school books
the property of a monopoly?
The facts are follows: A Mrs.
Hunt of Washington City
lectured before the Committee on
Education during the late assem-
bly, and lobied through bill re-
quiring that one-fourth of the
subject matter OF books to be
used in the public schools should
be devoted to scientific temper
ance instruction.
1t was positively assured by
the said Mrs. Hunt that no
m nopoly was involved.
1t turns out, however, that the
books are a monopoly" and the
question duly comes up what will
the State Board of Education do
about it?
/ That it was a bald piece of
legislation, there is no question.
It is unwise, indeed, to employ
so much time to such a subject,
and now to have the tax payers
saddled with a monopoly
in school books is detrimental
to every interests of the State.
There Is a suggestion to head
off this trust by the publication
Of a book at home which will
answer the purpose involved in
the bill.
1t is learned that DIR. Lewis of
Hendersonville has prepared
material for a book OF this char
acter.
The Board If Education would
do well to remedy this matter if
possible.

VALUE.

There is IA strong sslisposirion
in Boston to exempt personal
property from taxation, and
The Globe of that city, among
other arguments III favor of the
proposed policy, says:
Furthermore, it is the pres
ence of population and person
al property that gives value
to land. Drive these away and
what would the land be worth?
Land has no value except
what it absorhs from these
sources. The most fertile land
is worth little or nothing if
there is no population and bust
ness near it. Thus it is the
height of folly for farmers to
drive population, capital and
business away, as they surely
will Go if they succeed in increas-
ing the tax burdens on movable
property.
The way to "boom New Eng
land" is to welcome capital and
business, not drive them away.
In this view why is not the rule
stated by the writer in The
American Agriculturist a good
one? 'sNevcr tax anything that
would be benefit to your state
and that could and would run
away"
Itisextremely diffic,lltto frame
a scheme of taxation that would
be entirely just or satisfactory,
and from this cause alone the tax
question is one of the most i'm
portant economic problems of the
age. In the matter of personal
property, it must be admitted
that taxation drives it away, or
makes probable very scanty re-
turns. But it is a understanding
proposition to claim that it shall
be entirely exempt from the pub
lie burdens shared by the land
owners. The South is a new
country, practically,-its condi-
tons are new and a general rise in
land values would be ofincalcula-
BILE benefit to US, and it is plain
that we cannot expect it without
population and personal pro-
perty. But it is not every class
of population nor every kind of
personal property that will per-
manently increase the value of
land. To be of much benefit to
a country apopulation should be
Industrious, intelligent and law
abiding, and it's personalproper-
ty should be very largely of such
a nature as to make it a factor

In the cou, Sc of President Har-
rison's recent speech at Seattle
he declared that the people of
the United States were. deter
mined to recover that share of
the worlds commerce which they
once happily enjoyed. In sub
stance, he is thoroughly discon-
tented with the condition of
things which at present shuts
the country out from it's rightful
share of the commerce of the
world. But just here does the
President realize what this reso-
luton on the part of the people
implies? Does he realize that
the Mckinley bill and it's ante
cedent legislation has brought
about the state of affairs henow
deplores? Does he realize that
the first result of such a determi-
nation on the part Of the people
would be the sweeping out of
himself and such supremacy
as his party retains in the gov
eminent of the country? Does
he realize that to Democracy is
left the task of regaining our.
