Under the head of''A valuable citi-

lowing editorial comment on ]. H.
Henry, the principal owner of the cleo
tlic railway system in this city:
''It was fortunate for San Jose that J !.
d. Henry selected this city for his per-
maneDt home. He is of that class of
Inen that this community most needs for
the development of its resources. He
knows a business proposition when he
spes it and is not afraid of expending
money when a prospect of a fair profit is
In sight. He is not one of the from
hand-t -to-mouth men who indulge in
makeshfts rather than let go ofa dollar for
Substantial work. Whatever he has done
here has been done in the best manner
that money or care could suggest. Twenty
such men as Mr.. Henry in this city
would put San Jose twenty years ahead
OF its present prosperity in two years.
The men who have the brains to grasp
large propositions and the nerve to back
thcIr opinions with something besides
language is all that is needed to make
San Jose the first city on the coast.n

We are Agitating.

Oar esteemed and enterprising contempt
rary, the Norfolk Landmark, is agitating
the question of better roads for Virginia
with commendable persistency. 1t directs
attention to Southern Road Congress to
Assemble in Atlanta on the goth of Ooto-
Der. Governor Mckinney has already ap-
pointed number of delegates (among
them DIR. M. 3. Whartop) to represent
Virginia in that meeting. If our people
could be aroused to the Importance of
scientific and systematic improvement of
country roads, if they could be made to
see the immense, nay the Unreasonable,
material benefit which would follow such
improvement, the work would be begun
without delay. We hope our Norfolk
friend will keep up this agtation.-Re-
zjgious Herald.
We are glad to note that the Herald d.
reefs public attention to this subject and
seconds our efforts. We feel that the press
of Virginia cannot do the State greater
service than by agitating for good roads
until they are forthcoming. With roads
such as those of England and France this
old Commonwealth would indeed blossom
like the rose. Prosperity aud comfort
would abound where now N many places
encouragement and poverty arc found
Ibis may seem strung way W pun IL, Dut
it is not exaggerated. We do not hesitate
to affirm that in this one subject of roads
Virginia people are less alert to their own
business and social interests than to any
interest that concerns the citizen. If the
people could be aroused to this truth, and
could appreciate the all but infinite value
of excellent highways. another session of
the General Assembly would not pass
without Road Department organized
upon the best model that can be found in
this Or the old country.-Norfolk Land

Harrison versus Blaine.

Mr.. Blaine in his recent letter to an OHIO
editor, explaining his criticisms of the Nc
Kiniey tariff bill and declaring that the adj
dition of the reciprocity clause had remov-
ed his objections to that measure, went on
to some length to show how benefcently
the said clause had operated to extend
American trade and promote American in
'terests. He wrote:
1.-THE reciprocity clause has given ample
market for many barrels of flour and many
pounds Of pork.
Germany, without negotiating a formal
treaty, has removed the prohibition on
pork, and our Government in consideration
thereof has left her sugar on the free list. !"
This language reveals to the public how
far Nr. Blaine has dropped behind the
procession" during his protracted absence
from Washington; and how little he knows
of the views and doiDgs of the Adrainstra-
ton. About month previous to the pub
LEGATION of the above letter, President Har-
rson gave out statement to the press in
regard to the removal of the embargo on
American pork, in which he said:
1.-THE removal of the pork restriction has
nothing to do with any question of reciproc
| ity, but is based upon the acceptance by
the German Government of the inspection
of meats by this Government under the law
of the last Congress-
This is contradiction in express terms
of Mr., Blaine's theory that the removal o
the embargo was brought about by the rec
iprocity addendum to the Mckinley bill
and leaves him in the position of having
endorsed and given currency to false ant
misleading statement.
The Man of Maine would much better
have adhered to his original view Of the Nc
Kinley bill aud held his peace.-Lynchburi

pear to think, that the denomination of Mr..

in and cut of season, that the Force bill
must be passed, and every republican con-
vention that has been held in northern
State has declared to the same effect. Moth
ing that has not already occurred is more
certain than the fact that if Harrison be re-

But they do not and can not bring the area
sown up to the earlier expectations, or the
status of the crop to the standard which was
shown year ago and there is ground for some
apprehension that a considerable portion o.
the area Will go into winter conditions lacking
in degree of vigor suffic lent to dispel fears of
injury should the season prove severe one.
and this is one of the poss Utilities. This con-
rgency, furnishing ground for speculative
sentiment, is a more interesting feature of the
future with reference to influence on values Of
wheat than any figuring which can be offered
or promulgated concerning the European
shortage In the late harvest. II the conditions
surrounding the Incoming crop should be con

FINANCIAL REVIEW.
In the Financial Review of Henry Clews &
Company, of New York, of October oath, says
that "the chief current factors affecting the in
trinsic value of securities are distinctly favor.
able. The foreign demand for our wheat con-
tinue upon very large scale. and the yield
In the price OF that cereal is calculated to slim
ulate Its export. The return of gold from Eu-
rope shows no symptom of abatement; and at
London the loss of gold has SO far produced no
effect upon the Bank of England rate, nor ups
on the rate In the open market, while in the
stock mark ct the preference for American Sc
curities is causing a steady stream of buying
orders to be cabled to New York. This is GER
tainly better condition of foreign finances
than has been anticipated. The uneasiness
caused by the new Russian loan and by re-
ports OF fresh trouble in the Argentine Sepub.
lie seem TO have the effect OF stimulating the
London demand for our Investments. So far
as respects our local money market, the inn
ports OF gold and the moderation OF the ship
nents of currency to the interior leave no
doubt that, for the remainder 9th year and
probably until early next spring, there will be
no difficulty in procuring money for Stock
Exchange purposes. This prospective ease in
the loan market is causing marked improve
ment In the demand for railroad bonds, which
is factor of real importance to stocks. The
late reports ofdamsge to cotton are now fol-
lowed by intelligence or killing frost in the
cotton belt. the immediate effect of which is to
cause an advance in price both here and In
Liverpool. There can be little doubt that con-
deductions will have to be made from
the earlier estimates of this crop; but as the
price will probably be correspondingly adj
vanced the financial results OF the yield are
not likely to be materially affected. 1t is un-
fortunate that. with so many good elements In
the situation. the undue forcing up OF prices
during the late boom should have put the
Stock Market in q position which prevents an
adequate response to these factors"

DR.. HALL RESIGNS The resignation of
DR.. John Hall from the directorate of
Uaion Theological Seminary is direct
blow to the wing of the Presbyterian
Church that is endeavoring to obstruct ad-
vancsd thought by the prosecution of DR..
Briggs on the charge of here'y.
DR.. Halls sympathy with DR.. Briggs is
said to be the first of long series of
shocks that the Presbyterian Church must
suffer before the trial of DR.. Briggs is
over.
The sympathy of such mon as DIR. Hall
will strengthen the cause of the alleged
hereto, and it was announced long ago
that the wealthy men of the church threat
en- to withdraw their support from Union
Seminary unless DR.. Briggs is restored to
his former relation. Notwithstanding the
aggressive opposition to his teachings, the
church seems to be about evenly divided on
the case.
Taking everything into consideration,
Briggs is evidently on top.-Roanoke
