The South to be Bane6bSed.

The abuse which has been heaped up
on the present Congress by Democratic
speakers and the Democratic press will
not arrest the beneficent effects OF the
legislation it has enacted. The Mckln-
ley tariff bill. and its protection TO
American interests, with the reciprocity
provision. Incorporated, opening the
markets cf South and Central America
to American products, and the subsidy
bill to encourage commerce with those
countries, will fully demonstrate their
wisdom before another Congress assem-
bles in regular. session. The prosperity
that will follow, the progress that Will
be made, and the general thrift OF the
people will be so marked that not even
Democrats will be able TO justify their
absurd ISLANDERS and mlsrepresenta-
tions. The South, especially, is to be
the beneficiary in the legislation OF tins
Congress- if her people will avail OF the
exceptional advantages it offers. our
cotton, flour, wheat, iron, steel, and
machinery will all find purchasers in the
Central and South American States.

Norfolk and Western, recently called
the attention of the people OF Peters
burg to the opportunity afforded by the
treaty with Brazil to renew the manu-
facture OF flour in that city; and other
products will be in like aemand in those
countries which are now very restricted
in their trade with the United States.
The Republicans can well afford to
leave it to time, and g very short time,
to vindicate the wisdom OF the legieia
ton they have enacted, despite united
Democratic opposition. 1t is legislation
broad and American in its purpose and
spirit, and viii defend itself Ia the re<
suits Of its practical enforcement. The
South will owe its future growth and
prosperity in great degree to the ennr-
age and craftsmanship of the Repnbli-
can party in passing laws, in the face of
the opposition of Southern Representa-
tiyes. which will more largely enure to
the welfare q the South than to any
other section of the country.

Coming South.

A dispatch from Pottstown, Pa,
dated March end, says: 1.-THE iron and
steel firm of Ellis s. Lessig announce
that they have fayorably considered the
offer of 100000 and forty acres of
land made by the-citizens of Salem, Va,
if they would remove their plant there.
They employ 700 men in their nail fac
tory, puddle and plate mills and say as
soon as the present stock is worked up
and other matters arranged they will
move their machinery to Salem. Facil-
tiles for manufacturing iron are cheaper
in the Sonth is their reason for removal"
If all signs and tendencies do not fail
1891 will show the most remarkable in
dustraI activity in Virginia ever expe-
rience by State. What has heretofore
been designated 'booms'' will be mere
pop-guns to the real booms which will
stir and thrill and direct the people.
The iron section especially will COM
mand immense capital and enterprise,
and industrial projects will be inaugu-
rated that will astound the grumblers
and obstructionists.

little daughter was about four years old,

said; "Father, if you die | am going to

Prussia and France.


ExEmpress Frederick, mother of
Emperor William of Prussia, recently
visited the city of Paris, with the in
tention of remaining ten or twelve days
The feeling manifested by the Paris
popuiaee Was so intense, and the dem
onstration SO offensive, that her stag
was cut short, and in three days she was
on her way TO England. 1t was designed
as "a friendly visit and TO bring about
a more cordial understanding between
the French and Prussian governments
It's effect was Just the reverse. The
treatment Of his mother by the French
has aroused spirit Of resentment in the
Emperor, and he has taken action, in
military orders, to show it. The pass
port system in Alsaee-! lorraine, which
was about to be abandoned, has been
raFiyed with increased restrictions and
severity, and = feeling Of wounded pride
evoked that bodies no good for the peace
of Europe. The Queen of England.
mother of the Ex-Empress, was very
mrch excited and indignant at the
treatment OF her daughter in Paris She
was loathe to believe at first that such
disrespect was possible to one of her
family. whose mission was that Of
kindness, and her office peaceful. 1t is
d subject of general comment in the
press throughout Europe, and all the
outgiyings forecast commensurate re
sentiment on the part OF the Emperor,
the Empress son. Instead of military
disarmament throughout Europe, as has
been suggested, the Paris episode means
that there will not only be mare yigI-
lance in military circles, but an increase
of warlike preparations. ready for an
outbreak at any time. The Emperor of
Prussia is a trained soldiers endowed
with an ardent military spirit, and it
would not be surprising if he awaited of
the slightest preteXt to demonstrate his
military genius in an armed contest with
France Russia IS watching events, and
her sympathies are with France. Aus
tria is leaning that way, as is also Italy;
while England, following the impulse
of offended pride, might side with Pfps-
sa. The war atarum once sounded, II
would be the signal for the marshaling
of fearful forces, and contest that
would shock dynasties and thrones to
their very base, if not topple them to
ruin.

John Wesley.

Monday, the I'd Of March, was the
centennial of the death of John Wesley,
the founder of Methodism, which oc
Cured in London, March 2, 1871, at the
age of S5-sixty of which he had spent
in expounding and preaching the simple
creed of the denomination brought into
existence through his efforts and those
of his brother Charles and of WILDER
force Wesley was remarkable man in
many respects. His ability. his learn
ing, and deep religious conviction were
without a parallel in his time. The
simple doctrine he announced and the
system of itinerancy inaugurated were
well adapted to the wants of the mid>
die and poor classes of his day. The
Church of England did not look to this
class for support, nor was it concerned
for its improvement and religious inter
ests Wesley, learning lesson from the
Moravian methods of service, con-
ceived the system which distinguishes
Methodism, by which the masses could
be reached and the everlasting gospel
preached to them. He inaugurated a
force that has been growing in power
ever since, until to-day there are sixteen
millions of communicates in the church
he founded, about six millions of whom
are in the United States. 1t has reared
the banner of the cross throughout the
circling world. and proclaimed the SIM
pie doctrine of the witness of the spirit
and regeneration through faith, from
the centre to the circumference of civil
lization and throughout the benighted
regions of the globe. John Wesley is
more powerful to-day than he was when
he moved among men. The moral force
he put in motion is gaining momentum
day by day, and will continue to grow
as long as there are hearts to be touched
by the simple story of the cross and
souls to be saved by faith in the atone

The following are the provisions of the
direct tax bill, which has become a law
by the signature of the President, having
passed both branches of Congress last
week. The provisions of the direct tax
bill, which was signed by the President,
are. in substance, as follows: that the
Secretary of the Treasury shall credit
each State and Territory and the Dis
trict of Columbia with sum equal to
all collections, by set off or otherwise,
made under the terms of the direct tax
act of 1861, and that all moneys still due
the United States under the requirement
of that act are RENTED. A sufficient
sum of money to reimburse the States
and Territories for the collections under
the direct tax is appropriated to be paid
when the legislatures shall have accept
ed the sums in full satisfaction of all
claims against the United States on ac-
count of the levy. The money appro
priated to meet individual claims is to
be held in trust by the State authorities,
six years being allowed for the reception
of these claims Payment is also to be
made to the owners of lands in st. Hele-
ma and st. Lukes parishes in South Car
DINA that were sold under the operations
of the direct tax act. There are num-
Der of claims under it in the Valley,
among them Col. W. d. Anderson of this
place.

If is stated that Col. Lamb may be
presented for the Craftsmanship OF the

when the time comes for reorganization.
This would be wise change, and solve
the difficulties in the Republican party

warm friend of Gen. Malone. he at the
same time has the confidence and would
have the support of those who do not
believe the General will ever be able to

The Good Efec1s

The following dispatch, dated at Phil
adelphia, March 2nd, illustrates the wis
dom of Republican legislation and in
the same degree rebukes Democratic OBJ
struction and want Of consideration for
American interests. We expect Virginia,
and especially this part of it, to largely
participate in the benefits of industrial
activity. as indicated ia the statement
below:
1.-The passage of the Subsidy bill re-
veals the fact that vast undertakings
have been organized here, pending the
success Of the bill. The Pennsylvania
Steel Company will at once put in ope-
ration it's vast factories for steel ship
building at Sparrow Point.
The Cramps, with Jesse Selegman,
will establish a $10,000,000 plant on the
Delaware for steel ship building. Within
two years the ship yard factories will be
increased TO a capacity to construct 100
600 tons of iron and steel vessels annrl-
ally.''
