A very attractive feature of Virginia
and an evidence of peaceful prosperity is
the great decline OF litigation. Tho
Highland Recorder, published in the county
adjoining Augusta, says that Judge Nc.
Laughlin, judge Of its Circuit Court, at
his May term had only ten cases Oh his
docket, including motions. Twenty-Five
years ago at the September term there were
three hundred and thirty -four cases, in
Guiding motions Highland is a small
county, The jurors in attendance on his
term last week were discharged the first
day of the term without discharging any
duty whatever. Much Of this reduction OF
the docket, as we all know, is due to Judge
Mclaughlin, but the decline in litigation
is notable all over the State and is the sub
iect of comment among lawyers. Were
it not for the large amount of office work
attending the new period of development
activity in Virginia the average business OF
the law would be discouragingly small tic
the lawyer.

Some OF the Southern papers are com
menting On MI. Cleveland S expression H.
one of his Buffalo speeches, that the Union
was s'assaulted by rebellious hands," Well
what of it? That is the belief and language
of ninety mine out of every hundred of the
Democrats who are fighting the Republican
party North Of the Ohio river. Cleveland
thinks so and says SO, like the outspoken
man that he is. He is rot trimming to
catch Southern votes. Few Democrats in
Virginia will agree that the war between
the States YVES Waged on our side by ''rebel-
lious hands," but they are not preparing a
plank for the Democratic platform to that
effect. What they like Cleveland for from
the very bottom Of their hearts is THAT when
he was President he had the courage to
use all the power Of his position to prevent
Virginia being assaulted by rebeilious
hands, of radical hate. He believes in the
American Union and he believes Virginia
in that Union, stands just where Massa-
chusetts does. That is why you cannot
mention Grover Cleveand's name in a
Democratic meeting in Virginia without
round of applause following it.
We didn't have room to say last week
that the Anniversary T. a1es Edition of
the Basic City Adcdnce showed more ell
terprise and brain and pencil wo. k thtn We
have seen in new Virginia town since the
"boom'' commenced. MI. J. II. Lindsay
deserves the highest praise for his work.
He proved that there is no phase OF journal
ism in which he does not stand at the front.

Don't be the foolish victim Of custom!
If you have laid aside your Winter
tlannels, OF have adopted Spring outer cloth
ing, retrace your steps. Don't make busl-
ness for the doctors by being so silly as to
think that men and women should dress by
the calendar instead of the thermometer,
and that because this ought to be warm
weather according to the almanac it Is
warm weather. This is the season of grip
and pneumonia, the joyous season of the
undertaken, and you can give all three q
helping hand by imagining that because the
thermometer is'70c at noon you can t catcI
your death before noon when 1T is at 42C
Any physician will give you the same adj
vice for 50, the INDICATOR gives it tt
you free-the chances are hundred to one
that you will regret it if you neglect what
either says.

1t will be seen that the conservative
Farmers Alliance of Virginia is not rep
resented at all; that the Southern States
generally have held back from it, and that
of the LOO delegates, eight States-Kan-
sas, Ohio, Indiana, Nebraska, Illinois,
Iowa, Minnesota and Dakota, send 900.
The Farmers Alliance Of the Southern
States seems to take little stock in it.
Naturally, this strange convention
formed third party, "The Peoples party
of the United States of America" Its
platform demands that the National Banks
be abolished; that the government LOAF,
money at per cent. to the people on land
and non-perishable products, and many 9th
er things, some good and some absurd, and
it provides for the nomination of national
ticket Oh June l 1892.

FARM AND FIRESIOE.

IT is just as bad policy to give poor
food to good stock as to give good food
to poor stock. Both should be good, the
food and the stock; then there may be
some profit in the combination.
A FARM near manufacturing town
is worth a large percentage more than
one distant from it. Why? Because the
town furnishes ready cash market for
perishable crops that cannot be shipped
far or held for sale, but that are the
most profitable crops to raise.
NOTHING will purify and keep sta
BILE so free from odors as the use of air
slaked lime. and everyone keeping
horses or any kind of stock will find
it pays to keep barrel, or at least a
keg, of it at hand, to be used daily.
A small amount o. lime scattered over
the floor after cleansing will rem.
der the air of the stables pure and
wholesome.
THOSE persons who think they cannot
milk a COW without wetting their fin
gers may try as a substitute for this
Objectionable practice the use of little
fine salt rubbed on their hands. This
