The right use of Sunday can only be
made by the right men. In other words,
here as everywhere else, it is relative
matter. The ideally right use of Sun
day would DC its use for the highest
spiritual purposes. Inasmuch as very
few of us are ideal beings, the right use
of Sunday is such right use as unideal
beings, very imperfect, very material,
very far from spiritually minded, can
make.

POLITICAL NOTES.

The Virginia legislature meets on We'd
nesday, December I'd. The name of r. G..
Kent, delegate from Wythe county, who is
the author of the Kent railroad bill of last
session. is mentioned for the Speakership
of the House IN opposition to Mr.. Card
well, the former Speaker.
The 9Th congressional district of Vir-
gina continues to be the centre of politi.
cal interest III the State. AS far as can be
inferred from what is published by the
friends OF the different aSpirants, it would
seem that Mr.. Meredith S friends hope to
get the nomination on the first ballot, while
the friends of the other aspirants seem to
think that if Meredith does not get it Oh the
first ballot he will not get 1t at all, and there
will be chance for every mans man. The
Republicans of the district are to hold a
conference next Thursday, about putting
a candidate in the field. 1t is thought that
they will decide to put none in, hoping
that events may turn up which will bring
out an Alliance candidate. Mr.. Robert
Beverley of Fauquier. is quoted as saying
that if the Republicans don't nominate, the
Alliance will put man in. Capt. r. II.
Tylrr of Prince William, a prominent AL
lance man and member of the Debt Com
mission row in session at Richmond, says
Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1891-11-20

that if the resolutions and candidate of the
Democratic convention do not meet the
views of the Alliance men, the order Will
bring out an opposition ticket.
| The law OF New Y ork requires each candi-
date after an election to file bill of his
election expenses. Judge Roger A. Pryor
who was elected to the Court OF Common
Piecs, has filed his expenses at 10,500,
which Was the largest sum paid by any
candidate. This has excited comment, but
when it is remembered that Judge Pryor s
office pays him $15, 900 for IA years, a total
of S21O, 900, it will be seen that his assess.
ment by Tammany was only 5 per cent,
which does not equal Gen. Mahone's as
sessments of Virginia Office holders, which
sometimes ran up to Is and 20 per cent.

Columbia has handle down an Union that
it is not only unlawful to solicit govern.

didate for Governor of New Y DIRK, is quo
ed as saying: "When Mr.. Cleveland

to defeat me than any other one man,"
The complexion of the New York legis.
lature is as far from being settled as ever.
AS it stands now the Democrats claim q
majority of two in the House and a tie in
the Senate, and the Republicans claim q
majority of two in the Senate and q tie in

"When other leaders were being interviewed
in the early part of the year, Senator Daniel
refrained from committing himself on the
question of the nomination. believing that it
would be time enough afer the legislative
election. But he can be counted on to vote
and speak for Cleveland in the convention
1t is customary to send both Senators as dele
gates at large to national conventions, but as
Senator Barbour has been for long time a
pronounced anti-Cleveland man, never con-
cealing his bitterness toward the great popular
Democrat, it will be somewhat embarrassing
for him to vote for Mi. Cleveland. Still
when the time comes, we have no doubt but
that Mr.. Barbour will be willing to go to the
convention and subordinate his own personal
feelings and represent the views of the Vir-
ginia Democracy. Yes, Virginia may be re-
lied on as sending solid Cleveland delega-
ton to the convention, including Senator Bar
bcur. '-Richnsond Sta,e.
Would it be too much to ask of our es-
tee;ned contemporary on what authority it
states that Senator Daniel 'can be counted
on to vote and speak for Cleveland in the
National Democratic Convention 2" 1t
has hardly been thirty days since that gen.
tleman made an address to the people of Au-
gusta county-an address which has not yet
been forgotten. On that occasion the only
person whose name he mentioned in con-
nection with the highest reward the Ma
tional Democratic party can give, was
Senator A. P. German of Maryland, and
the only policy Of Presidential adminlstra-
ton that he denounced was that pursued by
Grover Cleveland. A ''solid Cleveland del
egation to the convention" headed by SEN
ators Daniel and Barbour would, in the
light of the only public utterances of those
gentlemen on that point, he about as "solld"
as Cleveland delegation from Indiana
headed by Senator VOORHEES,. AS our CO.
temporary has introduced the subject, We
may as we'll all be frank about this matter
and say what will have to be said sooner Oh
later. In this particular matter of choosing
nominee for 1892, the Democratic
people OF Virginia are ahead of both their
Senators and the latter have gotten left.
And their position at the rear Of the pro-
cession was emphasized 10y the elections i'll
the country two weeks ago. The Demo-
cratic people of Virginia, almost ell masse,
want Grover Cleveland, and they will hardly
understand a senatorial courtesy" which
calls for heading their delegation to the
convention with two nti-Cleveland Sena-
tors.

THE REMARKABLE BUSINESS OF
THE VALLEY RAILROAD.

The official report of the Valley Railroad
for the past year, read at the annual meet
ing of its stockholders here Monday, is a
confirmation of the wonderful growth of the
country through which it runs from Har-
risonburg to LeXington-sixty-c ne miles
through portion of the territory of three
counties -Rockingham, Augusta and Rock
bridge. Its business showed an in
crease of 80 per cent. over last year. At
its Northern terminus, Harrisonburg, it
delivered to the B. & O. over GOO tons a
week of outgoing freight, and received near
ly 1000 tons week of incoming freight,
And at its centre, Staunton, where it is
crossed by the Chesapeake & Ohio, it re-
ceived from that road over LOCO tons a
week, nearly doubling it's receipts from it
of last year, and delivered to it 500 tons a
week. 1t is not surprising that this tre-
mendous growth of business over that of
last year, in some cases more than double,
should lead to the belief that it may soon
be dividend paying property. A road
sixty miles long with no Southern outlet,
that few years ago was going on crutches,
and whose net earnings are now not very
far from 81 600 a week, should give the
world a pretty good idea of the prosperity
and development in the strip OF country
through which it runs.
