count Of impaired health, he has been
unable to appearon the streets orattena
to business. His decline in health began
number of years ago.
Mr.. Ryan grew up in Augusta county,
near Greenyille, and in youth or early
manhood learned the printing trade Ia
Stanton He served in the Confeder-
ate army as q lieutenant Of the Old west
Augusta Guards in Fifth Virginia regi-
ment. After proving himself a good

The Next Governor

The Democrats of Wise county held a
large and enthusiastic meeting at Big
Stone Gap recently for the purpose of
endorsing ex Attorney General Ayers as
candidate for governor at the election
next year. Committees were appointed
and other steps taken to advance the
claim and merits of Mr.. Ayers before the
people. They claim that the South west
is entitled TO the candidacy, as it has not
had a governor for many years, and that
their favorite candidate is the most de-
serving and available for the place. The
Southwest will no doubt make vigor-
Gus fight for the candidate, but then
there are at least two other candidates
in that district prominently mentioned
for the place and who have a host Of
friends. There are Lieutenant Governor
j. Hoge Tyler and r. f. Kent. The fight t,
however, is too far off yet to make it
anywise certain who the choice will be
when we hold our conventions next July
or August There will be any number
of candidates, and the next governor will
be a Democrat.

A Great Enterprise.

The Roanoke Times gives interesting
particulars Of an important new devel
opmeut at Saltville, Va, near the line OF
the Norfolk and Western Railroad, be-
tween Roanoke and Bristol. A company
has been formed, backed by unlimited
capital, to develop the ineXhaustlble salt
deposits at that point. 1t will spend q
million dollars IN erecting the second
largest soda ash and bleach plant III the
United States. Its product when IN fuli
operation viii be 0,0o0 tons of soda ash
and bleach per annum. The company
will be known as the sfathieson Alhali
Works, named after the general superin-
tendent, Scotchman, who will come
from large soda ash works in England to
take charge of the plant. The property
purchased by the new company contains
Several square miles The Saltville salt
is unusually pure. 1t will take from six
months to year to get the plant III OF
Grafton. Hundreds Of mechanics VIII
find employment in erecting the neces-
sary buildings and machinery, building
the watts sc The Times says it is esti>
mated that Saltvile will become town
of three or four thousand people within
the next five years. The Mathieson
Works will pay ont 100000 i'll yearly
wages to some 700 employees. The works,
the town and the extra freight service,
it is estimated, will use $4,000 tons OF
coal year, which will give 500 miners
and railroad men employment.
AS this is development to be made in
Virginia, we hope our contemporary Of
the Roanoke Times has not written 8
Christmas joke or INDUCED in rainbow
chasing. Such an enterprise would be
of so vast an advantage to the State
that we are not willing to give much i'm
portance to a mere statement, especial,

ascending from the furnace stacks, WI

compishment of the Times boomlet.

The Salem Times Register says: "There
has been a recent revision of freight
rates on the Norfolk and Western Rails
road, some of them SO startlingly adj

Professor Minor is we'll known in Staun-

Jay Gould, one of the wealthiest men
and Ia many respects, most remarkable,
died at his splendid residence on Fifth
Avenue, New York City, on Friday
morning last, All 9:15, in his tifty~seventh
year, caused by pulmonary consumption
Born and bred amid wholesome rural
surroundings, he soon developed the
wonderful ability for financial achieve
ment and manipulation which bore him
to the pinnacle OF fortune. 1t is hardly
an exaggeration to say that what the
first Napoleon was to the art of war Jay
Gould was to the art Of speculation. lie

was dauntless, an eye That saw aiar, an
executive capacity that has had few
parallels in history. q talent for swift
and daring manipulation that confound-
ed his ablest rivals and astonished the
world at large.
Fortunes dissolved or doubled at his
touch, great properties, the product OF
wears of toll and seheming on the part OF
the cauntry's keenest financiers, grew IN
value or crashed into ruin as the result
of his bold movements and wide extend
ed combinations Other spectators
might quail in the face of threatened
disaster. Jay Gould always maintained
! his imperturbable GOODNESS and his grasp
| of events Other spectators might
pause aghast at the risks involved in a
great financial undertaking. Jay Gould,
his shrewd and sweeping plans once
formed, moved forward with the nerve
and strategic skill shown by the ecu
uueror of Austerlitz on different field.
Success apart from moral considerations
was his goal; and he seldom failed to
command it.
1t must be remembered, however, that
his notable triumphs were largely the
result of conditions not likely to be re
peated ia this or any other country, 1t
is improbable that the combination Oh
circumstances which existed when Gould
and Fisk executed their famous coups

ations. Posterity will undoubtedly be
able to pass calmer and perhaps a
juster Judgment upon man like Jay
Gould than contemporaries who are
swayed, perhaps unconsciously, by per
sonal feelings and prejudices.

to any considerable extent, for he prac

The Other Side.

1t is strange how much selfishness
there is in human nature, and how blind
some people are to their own manifest
faults. OF late strong exertions have
been made by the agents of the Worlds
fair to induce the railroads entering
Chicago to reduce their fare to half rates
for the benefit of the thousands of PEG
pie who will be unable TO pay full ratas.
To accomplish this reduction it appears
that two wealthy, influential and public
spirited gentlemen of Chicago, one a
leading dry goods merchant, and the
other the proprietor of q leading hotel in
that city, called on the president OF one
of the trunk lines and presented their
argument in favor of such reduction
with great earnestness and force. In
reply to the suggestion OF the railroad
man that passenger rates On the trunk
lines were already lower than anywhere
else in the world and only sufficient to
afford an intinitesimal profit on the &C
tual cost of transportation, they urged
with earnesbness and apparent sincerity
that it was the duty of these great cor
porations to make some sacrifice-nOt
rather a national than local enterprise,
a financial success, but in order to give
thousands of citizens who could not
afford to pay more than half rates, the
opport unity to broaden their minds and
enlarge their patriotism by the educa-
ting and elevating influences of the ex-
position To this warm hearted appeal
to pure patriotism the cold blooded rail
road mans response was a simple in
quiry whether the dry goods dealer was
contemplating any discount on the price
of his wares, or the hotel proprietor any
reduction in the price OF board and
lodging.
This argument of the railroad man
was a complete sumner. 1t was some
thing that neither the dry goods mer-
chant nor hotel man had ever thought
of in his anxious desire to have the poor
classes of visitors to the fair properly
provided for. As the New York Tribune
we'll remarks sit seems never to have
occurred to the merchant that he might
contribute to the success of the eXposi-
ton byaotfering inducements to visitors
in reduced prices of the stuffs sold over
his counter, or that the increased sales
consequent upon lower prices to the
large influx of customers from abroad
would in tht end enlarge his profits
And as to the hotel proprietor it appear
ed that neither he nor the Chicago hotel
proprietors generally had ever consider
ed the proposition that thousands of
people would be debafred the enjoyment
of the educating and elevating influen-
ces of the exposition by the present cost
of hotel accommodations, would be at
tracted to Chicago by a small reduction
in hotel charges. On the contrary it is
said that in view of the expected enor-
nous rush of visitors they are serisously
considering an advance in prices.
This is too often the selfish way of the
world. Chicago wants the railroads to
pour people by the million into that
city at half rates of fare, but when they
get there they are to be charged the
highest rates for everything they need
and have to get. That is the way of the
world - Lai1lchbL2,d NeaDS

Politics in the South.

The Republican party was almost sure
of victory way down in North Carolina,
which was supposed by many Republi>
cans of that State to be doubtful. And
yet North Carolina gave Cleyeland 49,,
900 plurality. the largest ever given any
presidential candidate, while Weaver by
the aid of about 10000 Democrats and
%, 900 Republicans received $4,000 votes
These figures astound the politicians and
upsets all their calculations. They can
be accounted for but in one way. The
white Republican vote was practically
disintegrated and the negro vote was
split in two. It is certain that in every
Southern State Mr.. Cleveland received
many colored votes. A dispatch from
North Carolina says: 1.-The negroes Of
this State, as well as those of South
Carolina and Georgia, are gradually de-
serting the Republican party, and thou
sands of the more intelligent are acting
in concert with their Democratic em>
ployers. whose interests they are fast
recognizing as their interests alson
The Republican party can never again
safely count on the solid negro voting
strength of the Sonth atlantic States at
least. If that party secures a two thirds
vote in 1896, it will be more than indica-
tions now point to it's receiving. Split
wide open in the West-its only hold in
the South gone, what is there left for
the Grand Old Party but Co quietly res
tire to it's grave? Yes, Democrats, tool
your horns and lay claim, to all offices
in the old North State that can be con
trolled by Grover.
