Encouraging Outlook.

The New York Press of the 14th, in
its review of the trade and money situa-
ton for the preceding week, opens with
the following pregnant paragraphs:
From twelve United States POI is we exported
6,035,00 bushels of wheat and flour last week.
The demand for freight cars is unparalleled.
The railroads cannot carry the grain from the
interior to the seaboard fast enough, and til, re
is blockade at Chica so in consequence. The
Pennsylvania road has ordered 1000 new freight
cars. Every important railroad has contracted
for new rolling stock to cope with the unprece-
dented demand for transportation Of the ma
tion's crops. About G00,o90 tons of steel rails
have been ordered recently-not far from three
times the amount called for at this time last
year. The steel raismillsshave already enough
orders to keep them running on full time all
next year. Many Western iron and steel man
ufacturers are making preparations to enlarge
their plants. The iron and steel trade upon
which so much of the couutry's- prosperity
depends is entering upon season Of profit
and pronounced expansion The prosper ity
of the great railroad industry is best in
dictated by the November report of gross earn
ings. This statement shows that 100 roads
earned more than $4,000 &c., an increase OF fully
per cent. above the figures Of November, 1896.
These are the salient features of the national
trade situation. Their Importance cannot be
disputed even by the most inveterate calamity
prophet. With an immense grain surplus in the
United States; with the foreign demand for our
cereals clamorouS and increasing; with the rail
roads choked with traffic, and The farmer get
ting high prices for his wheat on the farm the
outlook is highly promising in every respect.

The State Debt.

The London Times in its financial ar
ticle, says it is likely, wretched as the
terms are, that the Virginia debt scheme
will be accepted as basis for compro>
mise, though it is admitted by holders
who are least disposed to fight any long
Ell that the scheme cannot be accepted
in it's present form. The most promis-
ing modification suggested is to sub
stitute 18,0O0,000 in bonds carvings per
cent. interest from the date of issue
The Times commends the proposal to
the advisory committee in the belief
that it's adoption will bring about an
Immediate settlement.
At the headquarters of the Virginia
bondholders' committee in New York
Monday it was said that the recent ca
bles show a decided modification of tine
views entertained by the English bonds
holders respecting the proposed settle
ment of the Virginia debt. The official
papers forwarded by the New York
bondholders' committee have been re
ceived in London, and it is believed that
in few days a favorable reply will be
returned

Separate Cars.

Col. Fl. J. Williams, member of tht
Legislature from Augusta, on Wednes
day the 9th, introduced bill providing
for separate cars for the races. 1t pro
vides that either division in the car
setting apart one side for the whites ant
the other for the blacks, or full separate
cars, should be made by law, and thai
the penalty of either car or apartment
being occupied by the class designated
for the other, shall be a heavy fine
Railroads are required within sixty days
after the passage of the act, to comply
with its requirement, under q penalty
for failure to do So

The prediction recently made by
Chauncey M. Depew of New York, that
there would be a car and engine famine
in this country, on account of the i'm
mense crops that have to be moved, has
become reality. AT Chicago there is a
perfect blockade of cars loaded with
grain; and thousands more cars are be-
ing built to meet the demand. But the
engine force is not equal to the emer-
gency, and it will be months before more
can be gotten ready.
Immense volumes of grain are moving
eastward but nothing to compare with
the amount that will have to be moved

An Able State Paper.

We have been a careful reader of the
messages of the Presidents from 1874 to
the present time, excepts those OF Linz
coin during the war. During that en-
tire period we do not remember to have
perused one that SO much impressed us
with it's dignity, its grasp, its exhaustive
information on all the points discussed,
its masterful comprehension of the con-
dition of the country and all its vast and
varied interests as that sent to Congress
| by President Harrison on the Sth. 1t is
| the ablest document of the kind we have
ever read, and as patriotic as it is able.
The dignified, conservative tone that
peryades it; the full information it
| imparts; the graceful and vigorous style
and arrangement of the sentences and
and perspcuous manner in which every
subject is presented, combine in placing
it among the great state papers of the
nation 1t evidences that it's author is
a man of large abilities; of deep convic-
tions and earnest purpose, and of itself
would assign President Harrison a place
among the greatest of our Presidents.
The statement is made as coming from
close friend OF ex President Cleveland,
that he is not working for the nolnina
ton for President of the Democratic
National Convention. If the nolnina
ton were rendered him, from united
party and upon the idea that the issue
OF an important principle was involved,
he then might accept, but with reluc-
lance. 1t is stated that he does not de-
sire to confront the cares and RESPONSE
bilities of the office for another term,
an it would only be to represent a
great principle and in obedience to uni
tie call from his party that he would
accept. The Tor of the Presidency
he already has, and another term would
n 1T add to it, while it would add to his
cares.

A Tragic Fac.
A dispatch, dated at Charleston, W.
Nn Doco,fl CO.

n UISIJdlCI1, udItU at CHdFItbtOl, w
Va, December 10, says:
One of the most peculiar and horrible acct
dents on record occurred in Hampshire county
Friday night. William Rousee, aged 25, and
Jennie Mcbride, aged p, were the victims The
two were lovers, and had been attending dance
three miles from Salneville, leaving for Their
home, seven miles distant, at A. NJ
On the way the girl complained Of the cold
and a fire was built by Rousee in hollow in the
woods. The two must have gone to sleep, for
the girls dress caught fire, AID when kousee
saw her it was a mass of flames The girls
clothing was entirely consumed, but in horrib. e
agony she made her way home, where she died.
ROusee was SO badly burned in extingushiny
the fire that both arms had to be amputated.
He has since died.

Formal action was taken by Lexing-
ton Presbytery on Monday last, to dis
solve the connection of Rev. n. 81
Halves with the Second PRESBYTERIAN
church of Staunton, to accept evangelis-
tic work, with his residence at Bluetield.
Va. The congregation, after the morning
session of Presbytery, accepted the re-
slgnation OF their pastor, for the prime
reason that the financial condition of
the congregation was such that the pas
tors salary could not be paid. A very
poor and inadequate excuse. If sac
rifice OF some of the luxuries of life were
made, the salary could easily be paid,
and the subscribers not feel it in the
end. 1t is not creditable reason by anv
means.

The REIMBURSEMENT.

The committee on privileges and cleo
tions of the two houses of the legislature
met Thursday afternoon and appointed
joint sub committee to work out the
apportiOnment bills. This sub-commit-
tee consists of Senator Jones and Dele
gate j. G. Gibson, chairmen respective
ly of the Senate and House privileges
and elections committees, and Messrs.
Mcllwaine and Wilkins of Accomac, of
the House, and another senator not vet
named. The apportionment for mem
bers of the General Assembly will be
taken up Immediately and completed
before the adjournment for the Christ
mas holidays, which it is proposed shall
commence the 22d. The last United
States census will be the basis of all tie
calculations. In all probability Rich
mond will receive an additional mem
Der for the House, and the same will be
done with Roanoke, Pulaski and Smyth.
The senatorial districts will be appor-
toned at basis of about 10000 popula-
ton and the House districts of about
10000

The task of arranging the comm t.
tees of the two Houses of Congress is now
engaging serious attention at Washing
ton. There can be no legislation until
the committees are appointed. In the
Senate there are many Democratic va
cancies to fill and the caucus of that
party is having a struggle. The Repub-
licans are making excellent progress
Speaker Crisp has most unpleasant
task before him and is not expected to
get through his committee list before
the holidays.
Mr.. Mills conduct in refusing to act
on the committee to inform the Presi>
dent that Congress was ready to receive
communications from him, his accept
ance of back seat, and his failure to
assume the leadership of the House, has
given rise to many rumors. He denies
that he will resign, but it is now certain
that he will not accept the chairman
ship of the Ways and Means Committee
if it is packed against a general tariff
reform bill, which seems to be Speaker
Crissp's intention.

The Use Of tho Voice.

Among the small things, as generally
considered. but great ones as look at
them, is the use of the voice. Here is a
sample of q very common conversation,
such as We hear in many homes: "Maria,
did you tell Tom to go for the milk
''Heh?' Ibid you tell Tom what said:"
'What did You tell me to tell him?" "To
60 for the milk" No reply. Then comes
the question again, "Maria, will you tell
me if You sent Tomy' Eyes, 1 did"
Here is q great waste of both time and
strength, and generally of patience as
well. The habit with many people is
very persistent not to answer directly,
but to first compel repetition of ques-
ton or a remark. In the course Of a
year such duplicate remarks, if put to-
gether, would make large volume.
The habit should be formed of careful
listening and direct responding. Some
persons respond indirectly in order to
gain time. They are made up with a
lack of straightforwardness. They never
wish to commit themselves promptly.
but most persons who indulge the habit
are simply needless and Indifferent to
others rights. A few have preoccupied
minds, and question has to be repeated
two or three times to get through the
circumambient meditation. = Mary E.
Spencer in St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
