Survival Of the Tittest. :"

The spring opens auspiciously for Cliff
ton Forge. The spirit of confidence
manifested by some of our people; the
plans projected for improvements; the
new business, establishments contem>
plated, demonstrate that we have not
been mistaken in our prediction of what
is before us. Scarcely has the grip OF
winter been looseued, until life and ami
nation begin to be manifested in all
directions, and the assurance given that
we are going to have a season of active
operations in every line of enterprise
There will be no boom in the modern
use of the term. There is no occasion for
any fictitious demonstration or forced
effects. The conditions here are all solid,
and it simply requires conservative bus
mess methods and plans to work them
up. One thing ought to be sedulously
guarded against, and that is extravagant
prices for building lots. AS business be-
gins to revive, lots change hands and
building commences. we are too apt to
take advantage of such revival to in~
crease the price of property, with the
expectation of getting more for it than
it is really worth. Many a town has
been crippled, if not permanently re-
tarded in growth by such spirit. A
schedule of reasonable prices ought to
be established, yielding a fair profit to
the holders of property, and Offering an
opportunity to the investor to make
something for his outlay. Live and let
live ought to be the rule. With Il is
kind of business understanding, people
with means will be induced to come
here and locate. But where abnormal
prices are asked the effect will be to
discourage visitors at the outset and
drive them to some other locality
The truth is there are to be no more
s'boom' towns and enterprises in Virgin
ia. That spasm is over, and a good many
worthy people were bit. 1t isasnow the
Survival of the fittiest;" and it is upon
the solid, substantial and enduring. con
ditions which exist here that we predi-
cate our expectations for the future.
We have everything . warrant an i'm
portant industrial and business centre.
Alread have steps been taken for the
establishment of wholesale grocery and
hardware houses. A good jobbing house
in notions, in clothing, in boots and
shoes ought to be and could be built up
here if the proper men, with reasonable
amount of capital, would take hold of
them. The spacious and appropriate
building erected by the Clifton Forge
Company for stove factory ought to be
occupied by that or kindred industry.
A nail mill, horse shoe factory, a cotton
tie mandatory, would each find mar
ket for it's products, if conducted with
energy and on business principles. And
thus nucleus once formed, new enter
prises will be started, capital and popula
ton concentrate, and a city be built up
The lot selected for the Public Build
ing at Staunton has finally passed to
the government, by deed of record. The
price paid was ,c00-purchased of W.
E. Craig, Esq. We have not learned at

Would it not have been fair if our CO.
temporary of the Staunton Spectator,
when it published the reported remark
about 'clam mouthed" Irish as coming
from Secretary Foster, it had been &C
companied by the positive and indig>
nant denial of the Secretary, that he
ever thought of or used such an expires
sion? Partizan zeal does not justify
such use of the columns of a newspaper,
especially when the denial of the Secre-
tary was published in all the papers of
country in plenty time to correct the
misstateInent.
That was very modest in the Staunton
Meas, suggesting en- extra session of the
Legislature because some local matters
of Staunton and Augusta county were
not attended to. 1t would be economy
for the State Treasurer to foot the bills
incident to the legislation the NeaDs de-
sires rather than that the State should
incur the expense of an extra session.

the government, by deed of record. The
price paid was $12, purchased of W.
E. Craig, Esq. We have not learned at
what time the building will be CONS

The most effective way in which to ar
rest drinking spiritious liquors and
drunkenness, is to make it unlawful to
drink liquor. If it is a crime and against
the good of society to sell liquor it is
equally SO to drink liquor. The buyer is
as culpable as the seller, and if prohibit
tionists are in earnest about stopping
the use of liquor let them insist with
the prohibition of selling liquor that
there be prohibition in drinking LIQUOR.
That is the effective way by which to
stop the use of intoxicants, and effect
reform in this respect.

SUGGESTION FOR A SUMMER TRIP.


If you wish to take the trip of life
time, purchase the low rats excursion
tickets sold by all principal lines in the
United States and Canada via the Nor
thern Pacific Railroad to Yellowstone
National Park, Pacific coast and Alas
ka.
The trip is made with the highest
degree of comfort in the elegant vesti-
bule trains OF ths Northern Pacific
Railroad, which carry dining cars and
luxurious Pullman sleeping cars from
Chicago, st. Paul and Minneapolis to
Montana and the Pacific coast, without
change, and special Pullman slecpers
from st. Paul and Minneapolis to yell
low Stone Park.
The scenery en- route is the most
magnificent to be found in the seven
states through which the road passes
Beautiful mountains, rivers, valleys,
lakes and plains follow each other in
rapid succession to delight the tourist,
who will also find interest in the agri-
cultural, mining, numbering, industrial
and other interests associated with the
Development of the great Northwest.
The browning glory of the Tip
through the great Northwest, however,
is the visit to Yellowstone Park, the
land of Hot Springs, geysers and gor
0cOuS canOnS and to Alaska with it's
endless ocean channels, snow capped
peaks, Indian villages and giant gla-
ciers.
II you wish to investigate this sug-
gestion further send to Charles S. Fee,
General Passenger Agent, N. P. r. r.,
ST. Paul, Mimi, for copies of the hand

JACOB JEWELL.

-Inoro IS no OGner ONCE In the
county that so much care should be
taken to get a thorough competent
man to fill as the Office of superinten-
dent of schools. This county can we'll
be proud of her schools and the voters
should see to it that at the election this
fall man is put in the position of sup
intendant who has not only the abiliay
but the experience necessary not only
to keep them up to their present high
standard but to improve them. Such
q man is E.. E. Couch who is % candi
date for the position. He is a gentle
man of education and teacher of ex-
perience. His education was obtained
at school established for the express
purpose of educating teachers, the state
normal school and he took the full
course graduating with honors. His
work since has clearly shown that he
proffited by his opportunity. Give him
your vote and you will have the salts
fation of knowing that you did all in
your power to place man in the posit-
ion of superintendent who is thoroughly
qualified and will give them beneficial
and faithful supervision. Let us elect
this year man who is resident of
the county and can give the schools the
attention which they desc and who
at the same time. is a man to whom the
teachers of the county can look up to
for advice and as a guide.
In electing county officers the people
of the county should be guided by the
same pri ncip ais that actuate a bust
ness man in his employment OF his
help. If he has man in his mploy
who has performed his work in an en-
tirely satisfactory manner he endeayors
to secure his services again. A. w.
Shelton has made a very successful dis
trict attorney. No one has found a
word of fault with the manner in which
he has fulfilled the duties of the office
for the past two years. This being the
fact he is entitled to 8 reelection. The
voters should take no chances. They
know that they have got good man
and they should keep him. For the
same reason e, p. Brennan should be
elected clerk for another two years.
There has not been and could not be a
word of fault found with his manage
ment of the office. He, has given US a
good business administration. The rec
ords of his office are in excellent shape
and lie should be continued in the place
fol- another two years. Voters see to it
that you mark X after his name on the
ticket.
M. III. McCord, the republican
nominee for congress, will geta large
vote i'm this county. This county
feels very friendly towards him for
the work he did for.it while in con-
gress. Added to this the working
men do not feel kindly to his oppon-
ent Tom Lynch. They have formed
an organization in this county to try
and keep wages up to the present
standard and the hours OF work
down to ten and they don't feel like
casting their votes for a man who
has shown his feelings to them by
saying that one dollar was all that

for which the Coney Island Athletic Clnb
recently offer S45, 600 purse, subsequently
Withdrawing it, was to have been gigantic
fake. The story has created no end OF gos-
sip here and is apparently based on facts.
The supposition that the contest was TO

ened by the fact that Judge Newton, the
matchmaker of the club. has intImated to
soms persons that he heard BuTge was to
clay down" to the American champion. and
for these reasons he refused to have any,
thing to do with the men. Newton. when
interviewed this evening, refused 20 either
confirm or deny the rumors. He, however,
spoke as though he had suspected something
was suspicious about Burgess actions and he
had withdrawn the purse TO save the reputa-
ton of the club and the public from being
imposed upon.
New ORLEANS, Dec. 2S.-A promi-
nent member of the Crescent City Athletic
Club said to-day: The Crescent City
Athletic Club never offered $4,000 for the
Burge- McAuliffe fight. Captain Williams,
our representative, was authorized to offer
$40, 600. which he did. He made his propo-
sition TO McAuliffe, who went to the Coney
Island officials and told them our Cffer was
$4,000. This induced the big bid of COney
Island. They found out the trick and of
course were diSgusted. We Won't have
