Lynchburg Adoaaace: -Four years ago
Nr. Cleveland retired from the Presi-
.tency leaving surplus of 500, 900 900 in
the treasury. On the 4th of March next
when Mr.. Cleveland returns to the Pres
idency he will find an empty treasury,
with more than $60,000000 of new in
,lebtedness pressing for immediate pay
rnent This is the marked difference be-
tween Democratic and a Republican
administration of four years standing.
The one leaving plethoric treasury
with no unsatisfied demands, and the
other leaving an empty treasury with
mill one of new debt pressing for pay
ilent Mr.. Cleveland, therefore, will
commence his second term with embar
r..ssing financial difficulties to encounter.
Let it be remembered that the Demo-
cratic party is in no way responsible for
the existence of this state of things. 1t
is one of the many bad legacies left us
l,y prof1igate and corrupt administra-
ton that has run riot with the public
monies of the country, and abused it's
powers to enrich the few at the expense
of the many.
The name of Mr.. G. F. Moore, Editor
oi the Reo5eao, and Junior member of the
law firm of Anderson & Moore, is mem
toned in connection with the RESPONSE
bic office of Assistant U. s. District At
torney We believe him to be eminent
" qualified for the position named, and
heartily second his nomination. Allie
ghany county, in view of the recent vic
tory, is entitled to recognition from the
successful party, and we have no doubt
the selection of Mr. Moore would be sat
isfactory to the young Democracy of
l. is progressive section.

Thanksgiving-Day.

Thursday of this week is Thanksgiving
Day. Let us observe it.
We have much to be grateful for, and
as people we need not hesitate to say
that the chiefest blessing of the year
has been the verdict of the voters dis
placing the Republican party from Fed
eral power after the 4th of next March.
1t is an incomparably greater blessing
than that vouchsafed us eight years ago,
because then we only secured the presi-
dency and the Houe. Now it seems that
we have the House and the Senate too.
However, we should not forget that the
victory of 1884 made possible the victory
of 1892. Previous to 1884 thousands of
colored people entertained the belief
that the ascendancy of the Democratic
party in the national affairs ment that
they would be re-enslaved. Thousands
of businessmen believed that it would re-
suit in the financial wreck of the coun-
try. Both of these ideas were dispelled
and with them many others equally as
stupid. In the campaign just passed
they were not often heard of and when
uttered were not believed. Hence the
Democrats will come in power next year
to have fair trial and to give fair ex-
ample of their capabilities as governing
body.
The knowledge that our friends and
not our enenemies are to rule this coun-
try for four years has already exercised
very cheering influence throughout
the South. Mems faces are brighter
than formerly; their business plans are
more ambitious and they look to the
future no longer with dread, but with
pleasure. Surely we should be grateful
for this.
Of course, there are numerous other
blessings for which our gratitude is due,
but-unless it be our escape from a chol
era visitationAnone that equals this in
magnitude. Let us, therefore, enter
zealously into the observance of Thanks
giying-Day and make it not merely a
day of thankfulness for the signal bless
ings bestowed upon us by the Almigh>
ty.- Richmond Dispatch.

Truly He is a Prophet.

President Harrison, when he wrote his
Thanksgiving Proclamation, calling up
on the people to assemble themselves
together to-day and render praise and
thanksgiving for countless blessings en-
joyed within the past year, little dream
ed that majority of his fellow-citizens
would have their most earnest petition
granted-deliverance from the misrule
of the Republican party. Yes, Mr.. Pres.
ident, there is much joy throughout the
country, and we of the Southland, will
praise the Lord for evermore.

are Democrats and will SO vote.

The great strike of steel workers which
began at the Carnegie Mills at Home

a costly experience to all concerned.
Congressman Outhwait wants Con

will take the old notes, bacilli or nc
bacilli.
| The contest between Cleveland and
Weaver is over and victory is perched
upon the Democratic banner. And the
little man who was wearing Grandfath-
er's hat, strutting about with some
attempt at liveliness on November 9Th,
discovered before midnight that neither
he nor his party were in it. We believe
that in by gone days they called them
selves Republicans.
The watchword of the Democratic
party should be, mo step backward
The people have entrusted the party
with great power-a power only limited
by the Constitution. They have en-
trusted this power upon an express dec
laration of purpose and that purpose as
declared in the Democratic declaration
of faith is-.'to SO legislate as to give nc
class or individual any legal privilege
not enjoyed by any other class OR indi.
vidual.' But we must make haste slow
! ly, because to make haste only results
to make waste. Let there be no lack OF
consideration, prompted by hurry. We
want no extra session of Congress. Re-
ceive the victory soberly, discreetly and
work patiently, at all times having in
view the best interests and general wei
fare and progress of the people. No in
justice should be done any enterprise
and no measures adopted that will moi
be advantageous to all interests. Glass
legislation by the party in power ha'
brought about such complete victory

The State Debt-Its Settlement is
About COMPLETED,

About Completed.
In the Baltimore Sam of yesterday
appeared statement from it's Richmond
correspondent that the contamination
of the settlement OF Virginia's long-de-
layed debt is about completed. For
some months past the only thing in the
way of execution of the terms of the
contract was a suit Mr. w. L. Royal
brought against the foreign committee
of bondholders, The Olcott committee,
it is understood, through the New York
Trust Company, furnished the Planters
National Bank, their agent here, with
an indemnifying bond covering the
Governor Mckinney and the other men,
bers of the sinking fund commissioners
this morning signed manuscript bond
for $10,000,000 and forwarded it to the
committee in New York. Accompany
in /. the document was a certified check
for an amount covering one years in
terest on the debt.
The $24,600,000 in old bonds which
were sent here by the Olcott committee,
and which Mr.. Royal attached for his
claim against the London committee,
will be transferred to the Common
wealth. This being done the whole
transaction of the debt settlement is
disposed of. The manuscript bond for
5000, 900 will be held by the New York
committee until they can determine the
exact proportion of distribution of the
bonds pooled. AS soon as this is done
the new bods will be furnished by the
State. The board of sinking fund com
.iissioners will at once advertise for the
oilers of bonds not pooled with the
New York committee to send the same
IA to be funded

Now that the smoke of battle has clear
ed away and left us in possession of the
field, it is q pleasant thing to declare
our debt to those who have born the
heat and burden of the day. We have
not to go far from home to find promi
nent and effective champions of demo-
cracy.
Mr.. Basil B. Gordon, of Rappahan-
mock, our chairman is in an especial de-
gree worthy of thanks. He assumed
the helm when the sky was to a certain
extent overcast and when the third par
ty movement was threatening in some
portions of the State to assume danger
GUS proportions All issues were met
with conservative frmness and diplomat
ic tact. The party was splendidly or
ganized and the result was a great ma
jority overwhelming and decisive All
honor to Mr.. Gordon.
A dispatch from Washington City,
dated November 14th, says: The scat
fold upon which John Brown was hang
ed in Harper's Ferry has arrived here
for shipment to the Worlds Fair. The
timbers are in a good state of preserva-
ton, though they haye served the pur-
poses of a porch to the residence of a
son of the man who built the scaffold.
The gallows itself is a plain, substantial
affair, which would attact little atten-
ton apart from its history The time
bers are evidently pine although they
have been painted over at some later
period to preserve them. The two ups
rights are big beams six inches square,
and the crossbar is in proportion. Even
the screws with which it was put togeth-
er have been preserved. John Brown
was hanged on December 2, 1869.

AN ANNOUNCEMENT.

BY consent of the CLIFTON FORGE
PUBLISHING COMPANY, the control of
the VALLEY VIRGINIAN newspaper and
Job Office has been vested in C. Collins
Taylor, of the firm of Taylor & Nuckols,
and d. s, Eichelberger, the former Busi>
ness Manager. The paper will hereaf-
ter be published under the firm name of
Taylor & Eichelberger, Editors and Pro-
prietors, in the building erected by the
Publishing Company over the Postoffice.
In view of the various changes recent
ly made in the Editorial department of
the VIRGINIAN, we desire to make the
plain statement that those who now as
sumo control of the VIRGINIAN will
stand responsible for its utterances upon
all questions requiring fair and free
expression of opinion. 1t is not our in
tentior to depart from the chief purpose
of those enterprising citizens who located
the VALLEY VIRGINIAN in Clifton
Forge, namely, to aid in its material de-
velopment and to advance its every in
terest On the contrary, we shall use
our best efforts in the direction that
promises the largest returns to those who
have already invested their means here
I,n 10 ir
fortunes with us. In word, the VIR-
GINIAN will keep uppermost the motto
which is ~published under it's name
'.deooted to the interests of the Great
VdlIey''-and as it has stood in the past
without peer, in setting forth in un
mistakable language the splendid re~
sources of this highly favored mineral
region, so in the future, to the extent of
our ability, will we endeavor to merit
the support and encouragement of all
good citizens, especially those whose in
terests are centered in Clifton Forge.
The VIRGINIAN will be Independent
Democratic, believing that by an obser-
vance of the principles and policies of
that party, the blessings of government
will descend upon the rich and poor alike.
Yet, we shall always accord to our polit>
ical opponents the right to be heard,
and will open our columns to those hold
ing contrary opinions on all publicques-
tions.
In the conduct of the VIRGINIAN we
ask the aid of all who realize the benefits
to be derived from well managed news
paper, which can be manifested by the
bestowal of their patronage and friend
ly interest in the undertaking.
Having no friends to reward nor ene>
mics to punish, We are in a position to
treat all fairly and impartially, and this
we shall endeavor to do in dealing with
matters in which the public are interest
ed.
We cannot hope to make the VIRGIN
IAN equal to what it was under the
nestor of journalism, Major S. M. Yost,
whose ability all readily concede, nor to
approach the success achieved by the re-
firing Editor, Mr.. G. F. Moore, but we
shall lose no opportunity to improve the
paper by an earnest and persistent effort,
in the directions indicated.
The VIRGINIAN is a Clifton Forge en-
terprise and we ask the support and en-
couragement of all her citizens, also
those residing in Allegheny and sur
rounding counties.

With the fashionable craze for tailoi
made getups, shirts, waistcoats and scarfs
there is nevertheless an occasional girl
who cannot master a four-in-hand or tie 9
black satin scarf as it should be. One OF
these went into gentlemen's furnishing
store the other day to buy scarf to wear
with her boyish costume After she had
looked at them, she said;
"Oh, dear me, shall never be able to tie
this! Why can't have one that is already
tied, with hooks behindf"
Very firmly the answer came to her
"But, madam. no gentleman would think
Of wearing a ready tied scarf"
"Oh, but," said she, 81 am afraid never
shall be perfect gentleman. "-Christiar
