Newport News.

In an interview with the Washington
Post, of the 10th. Gen. Groner is report
ed as saying: "Mr. c. p. Huntington
told me the other day" said General
Groner. of Norfolk, at the Ebbtt, that
whether the Farqnhar subsidy bill pass
ed or not, he would shortly have 5000
men at work at Newport News building
ships. He has an immense dry dock there
and improved machinery for boat build
ing equal to any plant on the Clyde
This will give Newport News a tremend-
GUS lift, and in few years | expect to
see it city of 10000 or 10000 people
The prosperity of Norfolk at the pres
ent time is unprecedented. Two new
cotton factories have lately started ops
erations. and other industries, giving EN-
ployment to many people, will soon be
organized. A great helpto both Norfolk
and Washington will be the new line OF
steamers to shortly ply between the two
cities. The vessels will be models OF
speed and elegance equal to any on
American waters. Washington men put
their money in this enterprise literally
AID think they will reap at least so per
cent. profit on their investment

Alliance Conference.

We publish elsewhere the results of
the conference held in Washington City
Of last week, of delegates from the
Farmers Alliance, the knights of Labor
and several other kindred organizations.
j. will be seen from the catalogue of de-
nantls formulated, that a radical pro-
gramme has been laid out, which, if it
could be successfully carried into effect,
would revolutionize the financial system
and entire basis of business of the coun-
try, and so unsettle trade relations that
not the wisest of political economists
could foretell the results
The radical propositions presented in
the demands of the confederation are its
distinct points.
Our sympathes are all with the farm
ing and laboring interests, and it would
afford us pleasure to support all reason
able demands they might make. But
when they propose such an innovation
upon tried policies, which have worked so
much advantage to the country, we are
compelled to enter protest. We think,
100, that ttiS iui Scf poItIOu VI tue Gull
servatiye and thoughtful elements which
institute the confederation will see the
,,e essit, .alling halt to such radical
|. npositions. Indeed, they will prove the
catering wedge that will discover and de-
stroy for usefulness the combination
that has been made to dictate the tinan-
cial policy of the nation and make the
government centralized power to dom
mate the private interests and fortunes
of the people. The proposed assault
upon the national banking system and
the suggestion that the government be-
come loan establishment, where mort
cages are to be recorded at the behest
Of those who have not been able to
manage their own affairs, will not be
accepted by thinking people, nor invite
| the confidence OF the country.

The Elections Bill.

The Legislatures of Arkansas, Texas,
Alabama. Tennessee, Missouri, and prob
ably other Southern States, hold i'll sus-
pense resolutions appropriating money
for exhibits at the Worlds Fair at
Chicago in 1892, until the fate OF the
Elections bill is determined in Congress
The lower house of the Illinois Legisla-
ture as we'll as that of Kansas, has taken
action adverse to the bill, showing that
there is a strong predominating senti-
ment in Republican States against the
measure.
These manifestations, we see it stated,
are regarded as bluffs, by some of the
friends of the bill in the Senate. Let
them not deceive themselves. There is
no "bluff'' about il. 1t is simply pro
test against a dangerous measure, which
will have in it nothing but harm to the
country in it's practical operation Ev-
ery Southern State, where the Legisla-
ture is in session. ought to enter a sol
emn yet respectful protest against the
passage of the bill. The material devel-
opment and progress of the South are
deeply involved in il. Its enactment
into law would furnish a pretext foi
noisy, INSCRIPTIONS politicians and place
hunters to appeal to sectional and race
prejudices, and divert the public mind
away from industrial channels-cause
turmoil and strife, and arrest the inflow
ofScapital and enterprise. The South
ern people, and the people of the North
as well, are more concerned about the
material prosperity OF this section than
they are interested in the fate OF few
politicians, whether in the South OF
North, yet they could not stay the tide
of exitement and passion that would be-
set.in motion by the mercenary agita
tors, if this measure were made law
Nothing but harm could grow out of it
1t would not change single Congress
sional district in the South. 1t would
not win a single electoral vote; bn
would invite and serve to bring fortl
conflict and angry contention, whic!
would throw the whole Southland int
commotiOn.
What good could result in Southern
industrial representation at Chicago il
1892, if lii condition of the public mine
was such, as it would be, as to driv
away capital and enterprise 1t wcul'
be money wasted, to say nothing of th
humiliation that would attend the pres
ence of States, through representation
at the Exposition, not recognized a
equals and not treated as sisters, as woul
be evidenced by such a law as the Ele,
tiOns bill
We believe this Elections bill is frangh
with infinite harm to the whole countr
and the South especially, and it ough
not to become a law.

THE VALLEY RAILROAD.
Graders Have Commenced Work on the New
Line Near the Catholic Cemetery
Helena INDEPENDENT

After number of unavoidable delays
work on the Valley railroad has com
menced. Those people who have been say
ing, ever since the Independent first re-
ported it would be built this year, that
there was nothing in it, are invited to take
the steam motor this morning. Get of at
the Chinese gardens on the east side and
there they will find Contractor Grady with
a gang OF men grading. The first start was
made Monday afternoon, but nothing
much was done till yesterday morning
Work was commenced between the Chinese
garden and the Catholic cemetery and will
be pushed toward the city limits first. then
the east end OF the line will be constructed
after that the force being put to work in the
valley. The route of the road is from Ninth
avenue along the south side OF the Catholic
cemetery to the citv limits. Through the
valley the road will take a northeastsrly
course to the Missouri. Beyond this point
the least expensive route will be taken TO
White Sulphur Springs and the Smith river
valley. A branch will be run to Castle and
one also to Lewistown in Fergus county,
opening up to Helena not only a rich min
ing country. but also agricultural and
stock-growing sections second to none in
the state. The main line will make its east
ern connection somewhere in Custer county,
north OF the Northern Pacific line.

Blaine's Tribute to Childs.

The sixty-third birthday OF George
w. Child's celebrated in Philadelphia
last week, was the occasion for large
gathering OF printers. Among the
letters received and read was this from
Secretary Blaine:
You are among the very few in the
precious class OF men who with great
success have developed liberality,
charity and justice. Unhappily, great
success in the world is too often ac-
companied by a growing selfishness, a
growing disregard OF the wants and
sufferings of others. Your deserved
eulogy, my dear Mr.. Childs, is that
your life has been passed even more in
making Others happy than in promo
ting your own fortunes by the most
honorable means. Greater eulogy than
this hath no man. The influence
which hardens the heart of many has
constantly widened your own benevo-
lence and exalted your own life. Be-
lieve me, with profound appreciation
OF your character, very sincerely your
friend, JAMES G. BLAINE
