NxvpoRr News, VA, October 1.--Ths
best evidence Of the increase OF population
in place and demand for houses IL oifore
TO most said demand. At present there
arc more strenuous efforts at Newport
News in this direction than ever. Mr. Il
P. Routt, general agent of the Newport
News Building Company. has beon nefs TOT
several days letting contracts for large
mum Der of houses to be built on the lots OF
the company. and Captain ]; .. Lipsc2mo.
of the North Carolina aud Newport News
Company. Ia here doing the same thing IN
respect OF the holdings OF bis company.
The latter company bought block OF iots
from the Newport News Company, wncse
plot. as I have hitherto described, = io'
Gated on the great plateau extending rom
Newport News to Hampton. and the lots
Of the Newport News Building Company
are also situated on this plateau.
THE EYFEcr
The effect of the determination OF the
two companies to build largely has not
only stiiened prices of lots and made in,
vestm enfs In them active, but has created
an increased demand for tho stock or the
Newport News Building Company. THIS
company 10 managed by some OF the SUR
diest and most conservative businessmen
of your city and Newport News, and they
have not attempted to boom their stock,
but let the demand create itself, and their
sagacity is bringing forth good fruit Tor
all who have invested in it. II has rock
bottom as o security, seeing that every
advance in land IN the plateau on which its
lots are. situated increases Its yalue-and
this advance, as oil can see, is steady.
REPAIR SHOPS.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Com
pany are putting up here extensive repair
shops, which will employ several hundred
hands. and it is stated that the company
also intend to erect round-house here.
This latter improvement has long been re-
garded ss Q necessity. The simple truth
is, the situation at Newport News was
never more favorable Cor investment than
at present, whether the investment be IN
bare lots or in stocks of companies. Every
thing is steadily on the upgrade and Is
going to continue so. The work OF Messrs-
Routt and Lipscomb is going to make
tremendous push forward in prices of lots
in the immediate future, as their example
Is to BE followed by many individual own
ers. Every house built is money in the
pockets of contiguous property-owners.

A PARALLEL.

The anti-Chines bill recently
passed by Congress does not meet
with the approval of the press of
the East, where there is practically
no Chinese question before the peo-
pie. Yet, both parties have tum-
bled over each other in their eager
ness to bid for the anti-Chinese
vote. and the bill has become a law
in spite of the alleged philanthro-
by exhibited by the Puritan states
men. The real reason for its pas
sage is that we are on the eve of a
presidential campaign, which will
be holly contested, and that the
anti-Chinese legislation, however
drastic, will not imperil the cleo
ton in any eastern State, while the
exhibition of any respect for the
powers at Pekin might imperil the
election on the Pacific Coast.
That is Just the effect that this
coast should create on the silver
question; that is just the effect the
free-coinage question would have
this Fall on the election if the
Coast had not been sleeping on its
rights since 1878; and that is just
the effect that is desired to be
brought about by the organization
of the silver clubs. Aside of per-
haps San Francisco, the silver ques-
ton is of infinitely more import
ance to every community west of
Denver than that of the Chinese.
We may be too late this election to
make our wants known and felt;
but, unless we get what we want
in the coming election and subse-
quent legislation, four years hence
the parties in the East that will
then be thirsting for offices and the
spoils will be as eager to tumble
over themselves in the mad rush to
correct the injustice done to silver
as they have been this Fall to set
themselves on the anti Chinese ques-
ton.

We think that Harrison's little
bi-metallic congress scheme has
come too late to have any effect
with silver men. He has had four
years to do this in, and he only be-
gins to open the matter up when it
looks to him as though he was 60
ing to lose the support of the silver
States for a second term. If he is
an earnest bi-metallist we would
have had free coinage the first year
of his administration. How long
would Stewart or Teller or Bland
be President before we would have
free coinage? Not a week. They
would veto every bill brought to
them until free-coinage bill was
brought for their approval, then
business would continue.

THE people of Nevada who will
vote a third presidential ticket this
Fall if neither of the old parties
put up free-coinage man on a
free-coinage platform, are the peo-
pie who are fighting for their homes
which they have labored for years
to gain, and which are at a rapid
rate being wrenched from their
grasp by the oppressors of the poor.
1t is not expected that the wealthy
men of this State will take such
active interest in the silver move
or advocate such strong measures
as those whose supply of bread and
meat is getting short. The latter
class is growing larger each day;
they see that they have nearly lost
their all, and have made up their
minds to fight desperately from this
time on until they gain their point
or go TO the wall

THOSE who are not in favor of a
third National ticket in Nevada in
case such a course has to be adopt
ed to get free-coinage man in the
race for the Presidency, may be
sincere in their belief that such a
move is not for the best, but we
doubt some of them. We believe
that but few people in Nevada are
opposed to the free coinage of sill
yer, but there is a wide difference
of opinion as to how to bring about
the desired result. Our opinion is
that we must no longer truckle to
policy, but get out and fight our
enemies openly.

state that in that State the Silver
Leagues, which constitute a large
percentage of the members OF both
parties, have held convention, and
have nominated three independent
electors-two Republicans and one
Democrat, and they stop there. They
call upon the Democratic and Repub-
lican Conventions to ratity them.
Whether they will do it or not / do
not know; but at all events, the Re
publican party will be called upon
10 pledge its candidates az electors
70 independence of action in the
Electoral College; and if the Demo-
cratic party pledges its electors in
the same way, then whatever may
be the result, whether the electors of
the Silver Leagues or the electors OF
the Republican or Democratic party
be successful, those electors will go
into the Electoral College instructed
by their constituency to indepcnd-
ence of action in behalf of silver.
An analysis of the plan of the
Helena Convention shows that the
action of the Nevada Silver Leagues
is consistent with it. If this plan
of unity of action is carried cut in
all the other States, whether through
the Silver Party or the two old part
les, there will be solid phalanx of
from Is to 10 votes for silver, which
could be cast for Weaver if he has
enough votes from other States to
elect him, and if not will hold the
balance of power between Cleveland
and Harrison, and will wrcst from
one of them the assurance of aid for
a free coinage measure or throw the
election into the House and take the
chances there. We believe that the
plan of the Silver Leagues of Neva-
da IS the best course for the other
States to follow, but if the other
parties insist in placing electors in
the field then let them be independ-
cnt electors, and the Electoral Col
lege may yet give victory to the
silver cause.

Want Funds

The silver leagues Of the State
must have funds to carry on the
campaign. The old parties have
the milionaires and Wall street to
furnish them with money, but in
this great fight to retain our homes
and regain our independence the
Silver party will have to look to the
people for the sinews of war. The
Humboldt county league proposes
to tax each member of the league
80 cents per month from the first
of this month to the first of next
November. Lyon should follow
suit

Mnrin Gold CnnNnn.

For the past two weeks there has
been a turbulent state of affairs in
Gold Canyon over water right.
The King brothers, who recently
bought some mining property and
a water right in the canyon have
been bothered by having their water
taken by J. Ferretti, who owns a
little ranch in Dana Canyon, and
who has built small ditch to take
the water onto his ranch from Gold
Canyon. The Kings told him he
must stop using the water, but he
claimed it, and put a couple of shot
gun men on the ground and got out
an injunction on the 10Th. The
Kings had the injunction raised
this week and the boys are now at
work using the water that belongs
to them for sluicing, but it is hard
to tell when trouble will be had
again.

About half past nine o'clock
Monday forenoon a fire broke out in
the hay stack in Hugh Brady's
stage yard in Greenfield. He had
lust finished the stack which con.
tanned about 100 tons Of hay. Brady
had but few minutes before left
the yard. The fire soon reached
the lookup, and when this caught
fire it made solid sheet of flame
that reached from the street back
distance of $50 feet. The fire soon
connected with Brady's stables and
sheds and to the outbuildings of the
lot owned by j. B. Gallagher, and
occupied by J. Dobbins and family.
The first building on the south is
owned and occupied by V. McIn-
tyre, and at this point the heroic
work was done, for had that build
ing caught fire the whole west side
of Main street would have been
burned. The wind at the time was
blowing from the northeast which
saved the town. Messrs. Woods,
Brann, Barton, Hernleben and
others did nervy and good work,
and B. II. Reymers, c. Hernleben,
G. w. Kneirim, F. Fagenspan and
others came in from their ranches
and worked like beavers. The la
dies also turned out and worked
faithfully, carrying water and re-
moving goods. 1t was thought at
one time that the wells would give
out, and horses were hitched to
sulky pillow and ditch dug the
length Of the town in the middle of
the street to bring water from the
big Downey ditch. and soon there
was an abundance of water. The
origin of the fire is unknown. Mr..
Brady's loss will be about 81 600
partly insured, and the loss to the
county will be about $500.

to the barn. Mike, the mail boy

while Mike was fastening a buggy
