WHY should not tho Democrats OF Viz
cinia blaze the way of the national Demo-
cratic party to victory in 1892? Our
United States senators and other con-
ercssmen have pursued wise policy.
They have not antagonized the alliances
nor the Alliance men. They have not lost
their heads upon the tariff question nor
upon the silver question nor upon any
subject that divides the Democrats INT"
two factions. 1t may prove to be ior-
tunasc for us and for the whole country
that the Virginia Democrats had no state
Convention this year, seeing tha'
the Virginia Democratic State Convention
OF next spring-the convention TO sehn
delegates to the Democratic National Con-
vention-may find it 20 be its duty to pro-
mulcate creed to which all true Demo
Gratis can subscribe. and erect platform
upon when all true Democrats can stand
As we said yesterday, Vlrginiain the Demo,
cratic National Convention of 1876 played
a part somewhat similar 20 the one we nave

leaders worthy to. be rccocnizeu az 'no

What Did He Mean =?

Senator DANIEL was reported as saying
IN his speech at Stanton last Monday that
the Legislature about to be chosen would
elect county judges and reapportion the
State for Congress, and the senators to be
elected would elect sixteen Circuit and
four Supreme Court judges. Besides tins
a senator of the United States was to bt
elected this winter and another two year
hence.
OF course Major DANIEL simply meant
that the senator's to be elected this veal
would hold their places for four years
whilst the next Legislature as body WI
last only this year.

The Exposition at Raleigh

The brilliant opening Of the Southern
Exposition at Raleigh, N. G.. promises sue
cess in every department Of the great show
referred TO throughout tho period OF its
existence. II should DO borne in mind
that tho exhibition IL one Of interstate
importance and scope. II ia the
result OF earnest effort on the
part of authorized representatives OF a
number Of southern States TO set forth 70
the world the marvellous resources OF the
section covered and the unsurpassed
capabilities Of southern men under
iue announcement. IL is not
local exhibition, or even STATE
affair alone. however good an ex-
position North Carolina can make any,
where within its borders. but il Is the
outcome of months of labor on the part OF
the Southern Immigration Bureau, sup
plcmented by the active cooperation OF
the executive and other departments OF
North Carolina. South Carolina. Georgia,
Florida, Texas, and other southern
States. II deserves hearty recognition
and encouragement. 1t Will probably do
great good to the whole southern section.
II affords opportunities for the attraction
Of capital and Of immigration OF desira-
Die sort that no southern State or south
ern city can afford TO lie, pass unimproved.
We trust Richmond Will not fan
10 appreciate her own interest IN
the exhibition. She has a right 70
command much Of the trade that is re-
presented by the exhibitors at Raleigh by
reason Of her geographical position and
her commercial and industrial importance.
This fact is generally recognized. and
Eichmond's merchants and manufacturers
are behind none in general enterprise and
intelligence-another fact that IL well
established.
Baltimore proposes TO make excellent
use Of the opportunity afforded her IN the
Exposition. Richmond should not lag
in the matter Of presenting advan-
tages 10 the farmer. the merchant.
the manufacturer. the miner. and the host
OF other active men who are working ont
the destiny Of the South and are gong to
the best trade centre offered them for
what Is necessary IN their everyday busi-
ness.

FREE COINAGE OF SILVER.
THE COURSE OF THE SILVER MEN
Is BLINDLY SUICIDAL.
Why the Leading European Nations
Should be First Brought Into the
Movement-Solid Facts.

Henry Clews, the. great Wall-street
18th on the general financial state of the
country, says among other things:
The pending silver legislation rests as
an ominous cloud over the market; and
even though it is quite uncertain whether
free coinage may be adopted, the bare
possibility has produced a sharp reaction
in prices. The enactment of free COIN
age would act as one of the most profound
shocks to confidence in financial circles
that has for many years emanated from
congressional legislation. But it by no
means follows from the vote of the Sem
ate in it's favor that free coinage will be
legalized. There are many and very I'M
certain steps between the vote OF the
Senate and a final enactment of the meas
ure, and it may perhaps be safely stated
that the Wall-street estimate of its chances
are as two to one against the present
adoption of free coinage.
The action of the silver men in trying
to force free coinage before securing the
engagement of the great European nations
to adopt a like course is blindly suicidal
to the trade interest they are seeking to
foster at the nations expense. They are
urging the Government to bring about a
European agreement to that effect, and
seemingly with far better chances of sue
cess than have attended previous efforts
in that direction. But by securing the
adoption of free coinage in advance of
such negotiations, they virtually nullify
every motive for foreign governments to
cooperate for the restoration of the status
of silver. They are holding out to Euro
pean powers the strongest of all possible
Inducements to avail themselves of our
premature action for exchanging their
silver for Americas gold, and to change
their attitude from Willingness to for
tify the double standard to the policy of
placing Europe on the exclusive gold
basis and leaving the United States, in
common with India, China and South
America, an exclusively silver nation.
1t would thus be to the last degree peril
Gus to adopt free coinage until it can be
done IN conjunction with like action by
the leading European nations. If, on the
free coinage until Europe consents to
take like action, the consequent pressure
upon the foreign powers would be calcu-
lated to bring them to terms; when we
should, as matter of course, be commit
ted to free coinage, and under conditions
that would eliminate all danger from the
silver question. 1t is uncomfortable why
the silver men should persist in conduct
ing their case with such blind disregard
of statesmanly tact and prudence. If.
however, We must have free coinage, why
not adopt it for period of two years,
subject to the condition that, if at the ex-
piration of that time an international
compact for restoring silver to its former
status has not been concluded, then free
coinage shall be. discontinued That
would be a great help to negotiations
with european governments.

Thirty Years, Rectorshtn.

Rev. DR.. Edward A. Foggs, the vener-
able Rector of Old Christ Church Episco-
pall, of Philadelphia, has rendered his
resignation, to take effect on October, 1891,
that being the day on which he will ter
inmate his thirty years. rectorship of the
parish. 1.-THE length of DR.. Foggs' pas
torship," says the Philadelphia Press,
would be considered remarkable in any
other parish but this. All through its
history of 1876 years it has had but eleven
officiating rectors, with terms running
from nifty seven years down to four days.
1t was in 1866 that the first church build
ing was erected-a goodly structure
for those days, of brick, with
galleries large enough to accom-
MEDIATE more than 500 persons. Bishop
White was one of its rectors, and during
ms reetorshlp the Continental Congress
and Washington often occupied pew in
the church."
