Away With Sectional Lines.

In an interview with Hon. George d. Wise,
OF Virginia, published III this mornings Post,
this WE'LL known gentleman expressed his I'M
abated confidence in M. Cleveland and
doubtless represents the majority sentiment
of his State in this respect. In Mr.. Wises
Judgment the Cleveland administration was
one Of the best the country ever had, and he
calls special attention TO the fact, as a great
point in the late Presidents favor, that he
made every effort 20 break down sectional
lines and treated the people of the South AZ
citizens of a common country rather than a
distinctive part of it 10 be Disseminated
against That was certainly very cOmmenda-
bic on Mr.. Cleveland's part. Ii Is high time
that sectionalism were done away with.
Yet Mr.. Wise. in talking about the speaker
ship seems 20 think that 1t were better for
the South to lay no claim TO the honor He
would be satisfied TO see it 60 North or West.
WHY? OF course on sectional RrOunds-the
very grounds that President Cleveland in
such broad and liberal way sought 10 avoid.
Is there not a little inconsistency in the two
positions!
If the time has come for the obliteration Of
all sectional lines. why make an exception IN
the case of the speakership; Why raise the
question anew? What is the sense Is bringing
out the old political map Of the country and
arguing that by the mere reason OF ms geo
graphical location south of II certain imagi-
nary but no longer existing line one man IL
less suitable or less available to preside over
the deliberations of the House than some
other man who happens to live north Of that
linel
If our Democratic friends are thoroughly
honest in their ayowed antagonism 10 section
alism, if sectionalism is really the dead thing
that we are told it is. and as Mr. Cleveland
undertook TO demonstrate. the sooner they
down the ghost the better. Its presence Is
strangely out of place in the speakership con-
test

FREIGHT MEETS FREIGHT.
a Serious Collision the James River
Branch of the Chesapeake and Ohio.

GLEN WILTON, Va, June Especial. J.
At an early hour this morning two freight
trains met head TO head at Hadens siding on
the Richmond and Allegheny division of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railway, about two
miles east of this place.
Ii appears that the trains had received or
ders to meet at Haden's. The east-bound
freight was approaching the siding carefully
when the west-bound freight came dashing
ahead, and before the brakeman could change
the switch to let in the east-bound train the
west-bound train had struck it head on
The two engines were almost total wrecks
and the track was blocked for some hours
with wreckage. Word was sent for "a wreck
ing train which was soon on the scene and
the track soon cleared.
The cause of the collision was due TO the
oversight of the engineer of the west-bound
train, who had overlooked his order and was
making run for this station instead of Ha-
den.
1t is not known positively that any of the
trainmen were seriously injurgd, but it is
thought that the engineer, fireman and a
brakeman of the west-bound train were hurt
In jumping from their train.
The loss to the railroad is not known, but
the damage to the engines will be heavy, be-
sides the loss to freight and freight-cars.

The outlook indicates that a period OF
prosperity is dawning for the farmer, as it
did two years ago for the merchant and manu-
facturer Prices for agricultural products are
on the advance The markets have no stored
surplus from which to draw There IS little
corn or wheat in the elevators. warehouses
contain no root crops or canned goods. and
everything is free for rapid movement and
good prices when the crops are gathered this
year.
II needs no argument to prove that this
means better times for the farmer. bushel
of wheat will buy twice as muchsugar, athlrd
more tea and coffee. a fourth more cotton
goods. woolens and dress materials than 1t
would year ago. The same Is true of rye,
corn, barley, potatoes and truck. Tobacco
and cotton will also command good prices in
market at the close Of the year, while the de-
mand will be equal to the peanut, rice, sugar
and fruit crops of the South. The necessares
of life have not greatly changed in price ex-

enabled to purchase what he consumes at the
