a WARNING EMPHASIZED.

Some months ago, seeing that some of the
that is voting fol- municipal bodies that
would favor saloon hcense-the VINDICA-
TOR warned them against it. 1t told them
t ley were not equipped yet for saloons; for it
is fact that cannot be disputed that if q
town has saloons it must have more police
A new town with a small and economical
police force, if it desires the revenue which
saloon licenses bring, must also be ready to
increase its outlay for a competent police
force. The thrifty town Of Buena Vista
which has just gotten its first liquor saloon
has also just gotten its first experience in
this matter. The arrest Of one of q lot of
men infamed with liquor came near result
ing in a riot. The small and economical police
force proved Inadequate, and the threats
of the drunken friends of the incarcerated
man to tear down the jail led to a large
number Of private citizens being placed Oil
police duty all night to guard 1.-THE pris-
oner in the meanwhile demolishing his cell
with an axe some of his drunken sympathy
sers had thrown in through the window.
The Buena Vista Advocate which charac
terizes it as almost a riot' adds this
significant comment: cit is clearly evil
dent that the present police force is made
duate, aid should he increased Specials
should be put upon duty, particularly on
Saturday nights" The fact is that the
pretty little town is just at the commence
ment Of its troubles. After it's saloons have
been there long enough to have turned out
the usual products of those industries, it
will find that Saturday night will not be
the worst night of the week, the other six
nights having been made by this time
equally deserving of police surveillance.
That an orderly, pretty, thrifty new town
essaying to become a manufacturing town
and the home of thrifty mechanics should
introduce saloons as one of the means to
that end, is just one of those paradoxes in
municipal government that no man can
understand.

Dirty Streets.

Editor VindicGt0r:
Permit me through your columns to call
the attention of the proper authorities to the
dirty and disgusting appearance OF our prin-
cipal business streets.
Ii there is an ordinance against throwing
and sweeping paper (and other dir9 from
stores and residences into the streets, why is
1t not enforced?
Look out on Main street now and see from
one end to the other scraps of paper and other
Objectionable matter which should not be per
mtted to be thrown or swept there. All this
is particularly noticeable on Sunday and must
make most unfavorable impression on
strangers visiting our city.
Only a few days ago a lady called at my
office to rent house, and when L suggested
that she purchase one, her reply was that she
had not fully determined to reside here per
manently because OF the dirty condition of
our streets, otherwise she was very much
pleased with our city.
The sweepings are hauled off Saturday
morning and by evening it would be very DIFF
flcult to tell that any cleaning had been done.
Surely there is a remedy for this nuisance,
and our authorities should see to it that the
ordinance Gf any) against it should be rigid
ly enforced. !

FRIDAY MORNING. JULY 81, 1891
ITCAN LOOSENED AT THE
SPIGOT,

SPIGOT.
The money market throughout the coun-
try is stringent and not more nor less SO in
Staunton than elsewhere. 1t will not re-
sumo the ease which characterized it this
time last year until the immense wheat
Europe. When the wheat crop and the
wonderful fruit crop of this year are sold,
money will loosen up in the fall after the
manner Of pouring out at the bunghole. But
in the meantime we can suggest q plan by
which it can be loosened up at once in Il
smaller stream but one the relief from
which will soon be apparent throughout the
community. Few of us have paid our store
accounts which were due the LIST of July.
A great many of the debtors, indeed the
great bulk of them. have the money to do
so, but all hands are waiting to.see what is
going to happen and are holding on to What
they have, in case of pinch. This finan-
cial state of affairs has become quite mat
ter-of- course thing and comes about as
often as drouth OF too much rain, OF Il
that come along to worry the producers.
1t is expected, SO to speak, and there isn't
as much mystery about it as there was
twenty-five years ago. The end isn't so
hard to see as it was in the days of our
fathers. With the present immense crops
in the country sixty days must end the
stringency So the question is, why keep
our home market frightened when we our
selves can give it ease. All that is needed
is toput little money i'll circulation. A
little money put out by each man in balanc-
ing his accounts at the stores would
change the whole face of things. A hun
dred dollars only, put out in settling cur
TENT accounts will lubricate the local money
market of a good sized town. 1t is aston
ishing how many debts a hundred dollars
will pay before night by passing from hand
to hand. All of us have read the practical
little story about the So that was put out
by its owner at breakfast time and by night
had paid thousand dollars worth Of store
accounts, set another week S credit going
for good many wage-earners and finally
had come back to its original owner.
Though the story is told as al illustration
of what can he done, it might be as We
raciously told Of what has been done.
If our people will commence paying their
current bills which were due the LIST of July
they will set the small stream going at the
spigot, and our merchants and others willnot
have to wait till the fall fol- the stringency
to pass away. After all it is the current
accounts which chock the wheel OF turn it
which make an easy money market OF a
hard one, and if you will commence paying
your bills, whether s. or $50, you will
soon see the reflex effect on your own finan-
cial affairs.

ALAST WORD ABOUT ROADS.

During the last Winter and Spring we
gave great deal of space in the VINDICA-
TOR to a discussion of some plan for better
county roads, a discussion conducted eX-
clusively by farmers of Augusta. who not
only made the subject generally interesting,
but handled it in such q way as to give a
great deal Of Information about it. As
the fine weather of summer approached
drying up the roads and putting them iii
fair condition the discussion commenced
er. We do not propose to renew it, but
simply to copy the following from a letter
written by Mr.. D. A. Heatwole of Rock
ingham to tae Harrisonburg Register, to
show our people what our Rockingham
neighbors have done:
'sIn the year 1870 the farmers and others
living along the old Rawley Springs road, be-
came dissatisfied with their daily tumble over
rocks and guIlies. and decided to make an
effort to build a better road. Several meet
ings were held, and it was found that the
feeling among the people was almost unal.i-
NOUS in favor of building turnpike from
Harrisonburg to Rawley Springs. Subscrip-
lions were at once put in circulation, and 1856
shares at S25 each were subscribed for, with
the privileged paying subscription i'll money
labor, OF hauling at certain schedule rates
fixed by the board of Directors. Work i'll
constructing the road was at once commenced
and in few months the first section of five
miles was put in a tolerable condition and
tolls received.
tCosts for constructing, metaling, &C., for
the first three years was 81, 946.29, equal to
S722. 80 per mile, and at the end Of ten years
the expenses were SD o57,2o. By this time the

greater portion Of the road was metaled and
i'll good condition Since that time, Feb. LIST.
1881, the road has paid an annual dividend of
SIX per cent. to stockholders. The tolls re-
ceived from August list, 1870, to Feb. 1st
1S91-2013 years-were S23, 1929, and more
than two-thirds Of this amount has been paid
to the laboring class living about said line of
road for repairing, mctaling, &c. And in
connection with the plan proposed, will ven
ture few suggestions where [ believe it
would pay the people to form joint stock COM

THE ALLIANCE MEETING.

The gathering of the most prominent
men i'll the Farmers Alliance here Monday.
was one OF the most important that has
been held in the State-possibly without
exec, tion the most important. Its impor-
lance WAS greatly added to by the great
size Of the audience and the quality of the
men composing it, which assembled at the
Courthouse to hear these prominent men
The number OF men was much larger than
the building could accommodate with COM
fort, and a large body Of them had to stand
during the whole proceeding. Notwith-
standing this, it may safely be said that for
two long hours-during the delivery of
MI. Beaumont's speech-nota man left the
room. Afterwards. fatigue and hunger
made some impression on the size of the
crowd, though it was large to the end.
We cOnyersed with some of the promi-
nent Alliance men who came and at
tempted to gather as far as they were will
ing to indicate it, the views and purposes
Of the Alliance men in Virginia. The
result'of our conversations may be sumn.a-
riZed as follows: The Alliance men are not
all of one way of thinking on all issues.
On silver some thought free coinage was
Indispensable and others thought silver was
a minor matter and not worth contending
about. On Tariff Reform we found them
equally divided as to the Importance of the
issue. On railroads there was much great
er unanimity; their conclusion being that
while nobody wanted to hurt the railroads
nor to cripple them in any way, yet it was
of the greatest Importance that such laws
should be passed as would, to use their own
expression, ''put the farmer ON top" so
that in a tussle between him and the rail
roads he couldn't be hurt unless he gave
his assent to it. There was very strong CO.
hesion on the sub Treasury plan which has
been formulated, though the customary ''or
something equally as good7 was generally
coupled with it. On one point we found the
most perfect unanimity, and that was them
tention to have majority of Alliance
members in the legislature. "We must have
that first, and will tell you then what we
will do in the future" All that we talked
to favored fighting inside the two political
parties; nominating their own men in
the primaries, and turning down those who
have been in control in the past.
