GOOD GUBERNAToRIAL TIMBER.

To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES: In the
list Of names that have already been
mentioned as suitable candidates for
the next Governor of Virginia, there is
none in whose bosom is fostered purcr
love OF those manly virtues that exalt
and cnnoblo our manhood, and the
reliable qualities which so adorn q
political leader than in that of Henry
S. Trout. Southwest Virginia has had
no candidate since tho war and will by
every right be entitled to that honor
when the next ticket is named. The
gigantic strides that this section is
making in population. in building prop
erty IN industrial enterprise and manu-
featuring products, and every phase OF
resource and wealth, all appeal to the
good sense of the next convention to
select it's candidate from this great Eel
Dorado, to which our debt.ridden State
is looking for relief from its heavy
burden.
Mr.. Trout made splendid record in
tue State Senate, where he served
term and declined q renomina Jon.
gentleman Of strong and vigorous
intellect, of rare executive and finan-
cial ability, true and courteous in heart
and manners, he is fit moulder of pub
lie enterprise and progress whose every
act would reflect lustro upon his native
section. Thoroughly honest intensely
Virginlan, and with that modesty and
refinement peculiar to Southern born
m NH ;od, he would be endeared to all
classes, and the candidate Of no clique
or faction.
| His energetic and successful business
career places him il the front rank of
his peers, and leader of this young,
active and plucky type would not only
arouse thu masses and rally to the sup
Fort OF tho ticket, every true and loyal
Democratic voter, but business inter
ests, regardless of party ties, would fnd
in HIM what Virginia wants to.day-an
executive of that manly and aggressive
spirit who would apply his head and
hands vigorously to the work of devel.
oping her magnificent resources.

built across the river. Lumber Is now
being hauled for this trestle and work
has commenced on it. 1t will be COM
pleted in short time. The rest of the

Hon. James w. Marshall, of Craig

ONE peculiar aud interesting phase of
Roanoke's Encouragement may be wit
messed any of these clear, bright moon
light nights, by noticing that the street
lamps are all lighted and burning, APP
parenly when the moonlight is so
strong the street light only casts q
shadow. 1t would be good time to
economist little on gas and save it
for some OF the dark nights when load
of charcoal would look like mountain
of chalk.

federate service and that his sympathies
were with the other side all the time.
Polk talks too much, but it would lie
fortunate for his own name If he could
deny the truth of some of his inter
views. The demagogue has grown so
big in Polk that he can conceal it no
longer. Even if the Alliance were
founded on sound principles, such lead
ers as Polk and his bosom friends would
pecvert the objects of the organizati ton.

STRONG Indignation is excited at
Haupden over the acquittal of Thorn
ton j. Hams, the slayer of young Ham
negan. There seems Co have been a
serious miscarriage of justice, so far as
popular sentiment is concerned. Tho
jury, it seems, was not composed of
men of high order of citizenship. Evil
dences Of close collision between tho
prisoner and at least one OF the jury
men are accommodating.
1t is unfortunate that what seems to
be clearly an unprovoked case of MUIR
der should fail in the courts to bring
forth some degree of punishment for
the murderer.

THE MEEKER STATESMAN.

S. W. Leavitt, the little giant from Meeker
county,; of the last selaSte, was i'll the city
yesterday on business. as he said. and en-
tirely free from politics. In a conversation
with GLOBE reporter he referred 10 the
coming crop. and said:
The conditions for not only large but
good quality crop were never so favorable in
our part OF the state. The acreage is con-
siderably larger than last year, and the
weather has been almost perfect. 1t is aston
ishing the way the wheat has stooled out
The cool weather following the rains gave
the grain good rest, and now it is pushing
its way upward. OF course the last ten davs
are the crucial period, but l should say the
outlook was perfect for large, fine crop"
''What do people in your section say of the
legislature?''
80 far as 1 am personally concerned moth
ing but the kindest words have been said
There has been considerable talk of the pub
lished reports of the expenditures of the
house In knives scissors and other supplies
and general desire to know the facts. 1t
struck me that it might be good thing to
compare the cost with that incurred by the
legislature OF 1899, and this morning went
to the capitol to get some figures. 1t seems a
little strange, but could get none. l tried
the auditor and the secretary of state, but if
any records exist, those officials were unable
to produce them. Perhaps if the expenses of
the house of that year were shown up the
talk of the last house would end"

THE OLD HUNT.

10 the practical man, who would not
risk much in any direction not likely to
return money for money expended, it is
not worth while to hunt for the north
pole. If land is found there, it will
never be worth anything in real estate
transactions, and the pole cannot
be brought away and exhibited at the
worlds fair. Still, the effort to find it
will go on, even if prudent life insur-
ance companies will not take risks on
the explorers. 1t is fortunate for
science, and the race generally, that
perils do not deter brave spirits. The
search for the unknown III nature has a
fascination that is enhanced by dam
gers. There are various parties
in different stages Of prepara-
ton for new explorations. The
past week a company of thirty-five
scientists sailed from New York to
Greenland, to work out the perverse
problem. By the way, that has always
seemed queer name for country that
affords so little chance for verdure.
Their first aim will be to learn more
fully the geography of that region, and
perhaps determine whether it is an
island or peninsula. They could not
give even Surmise as to when they
should return. Good wishes will go
with them, even if there is little faith
that they will battle the natural powers
in their effort to preserve one region
from the prying curiosity of man.

HuRTS THE TRADE

1t would seem Irrational and adverse
to their own interests for the railroads
of this country t0 delay and embarrass
shipments of breadstuffs for the foreign
trade. A late official report from the
American consul, Mr.. New, at London,
sets forth the fact that there are avoid
able hindrances to the shipment of
flour. His information is mainly COM
priSed in letter addressed to him by
the London Flour association. In this
it is stated that the exports of flour from
this country are directly from the mills
to the dealers in the United Kingdom.
Last year these amounted to 12,O25, 800
Cwt. out of total export of wheat
and flour of 80. 9.226.S S63 cwt., and it is
asserted that this might be largely
increased by better system of trans
pOrtation." The railroads have COM
bination, and refuse to contract to de-
liver in proper time. The association
uses this language:
The terrible irregularity of this service has
reached such pitch that the trade with this
country is most seriously hampered. no buver

ITAsCA INCENDIARIsM.
La Prairie Excited Over the Burn

The fiourishing town of La Prairie in
Itasca county, is in the throes of excite
ment over the probable capture and
summary punishment of the Williams
who fired the building of the Itasca
county bank on Friday night. A gem
tlemaI who came down from there yes
terday, said the people were wonder
fully stirred up over the piece of dab
oliSm, and that if the miscreants were
caught, they would be sent to perdi-
ton with a long rope and short shrift.
The bank building was fired at 2 in the
morning. The rear had been thor

were all sleeping in the building, and
barely escaped with their lives. The
large building of the Wells-Stone Mer-
camille company was close by, and it
was evidently the intention to burn that
also, but by hard work and plenty of
water it was saved. A reward of 81, 900
was at once offered for the arrest of the
miScreantS who fired the building, or
the man who employ ed them to do the
act, and it is the general opinion that
within short time they will be dis
covered.
IncendIarism has reached serious pro-
portions in Itasca county. both La
Prairie and Grand Rapids having suf-
fered. This is the fourth time some
prominent building has been burned,
and twice hotels suffered, both times
endangerlng human life.
