strong character marked in his face, and
a singleness of aim in his action and
manner.
Rev. DR.. Mcfarland, the able and use
full pastor of the First Presbyterian
church, rendered his resignation last
Sunday. He has been in very delicate
health for year or more. and growing
more so. Finding he could not meet the
demands Of his charge, from physical
disability, he deemed it his duty to take
this step. He is much beloved by his
congregation and the people generally,
and it will be struggle with them to
sever his pastoral relations. What dis
position will be made Of the case, we
have not learned. 1t appears, to human
ken, great misfortune that such man
should have bis great work arrested, in
the flower of his manhood, and his use
fulness impaired by the iDfrmities of
the body No minister ever filled pull
pit in Staunton who was more univer-
sally and tenderly beloved, and who was
SO closely knit to the people generally.

Keys Gets Two Years.

The trial of Eugene Keys at Staunton
for the theft of an express package con-
tanning $S4o, which consumed nine days,
when the jury brought in verdict of
two years in the penitentiary. The case
against the prisoner seemed to be
clear one, aud the punishment is light,
due to the fact, no doubt, that Keys had
borne an excellent reputation heretofore
Col. W. o. Craig made motion for
new trial on the ground that the verdict
was contrary to the law and evidence.
The hearing of this motion was set for
Monday by Judge Grattan.
Before the motion was heard on Mon
day, however, counsel for Keys accepted
the verdict AID withdrew the motion.

An Extravagant Commission.

From the Harrisburg Telegraph.
The Philadelphia Press prints couple
of columns about the extravaganza of
the Worlds Fair Commission, and shows
that about all the money that has been
thus far appropriated is being wasted in
salaries. The Telegraph said something
substantially like this months ago, and
outside of the details which the Press
prints there is nothing new. 1t is gem
orally understood over the State that
The Worlds Fair Commission of Pennsyl-
vania, from the appointment of the COM
mission up to the present time, has been
political machine, and we will not be
very much surprised it, when the next
Legislature meets, there is an investiga-
ton of this commission that will lead to
its abolition.
The above statement ought to be
needed by the Virginia Legislature.
The provisions of the bill introduc-
ed into that body, are such as to
justify the application of the re-
marks of the Telegraph to the Virginia
case. There is to be a commission for
each Congressional district and bust
ness agent or manager,i in addition, to rule
the business arrangement for the Vir-
ginia exhibition. 1t looks as though the
real purpose was to provide salaries for
politicians out of job, and to take from
the public treasury of the State money
that belongs to her creditors, and ap-
propriate it on salaries to junketing
Democrats who are engaged in no settled
business and care very little for the
State or the Chicago Exhibition. This
whole matter will. be watched by the
people vigilantly, and those who have
projected the scheme and those who may
make it a law will be held responsible
for any misrepresentation of funds, either
on useless salaries or inefficient agents.

A w arniug.

The State watching the political signs
of the times, offers warning to the Dem
ocrats, who are conjuring with Boss Hill,
and gives facts to emphasize its fears
AS the contest between the Hill and
Cleveland factions promises to be fierce
and interesting, and affect the interests
of the party, we present our readers
with the following from the State of the
18th, under the caption of
A WARNING.
Town elections were held in the rural
regions OF New York this week and the
results are very significant, for wherever
the Hill partisans have been most active
there Democratic defeat is most pro
nounced. A New York special in to-
days Baltimore Sun says:
1.-The Republicans have recovered lost
ground in many localities, and regain
the efficient county machinery that will
canvass the presidential vote and have
much to say in the arrangements of the
Assembly districts under the new appor-
tionment The lesson is a severe one to
those who believe in the omniscience
and omnipotence of Mr.. Hills methods
in State politics. The reaction comes
Just in time to add to the force Of the
New York revolt"
The Albany Journal has compiled the
results of the supervisor elections of
Tuesday. In twenty counties 362 super
visors were chosen. OF these 21S are
Republicans and ia Democrats. At the
1891 election 1919 Republicans and 1853
Democrats were chosen. The Republi-
can majority of 36 in 1891 was increased
to 1874 Fifteen counties report Repub-
Chenango, 4 :; Cortland 3; Chattaran-
gus, 1; Delaware, 1; Franklin, 4; Her
kimer, 2; Madison, 4; Montgomery, 2;
Onandaga, 8; Steuhen, s. Schoharie, 5
St Lawrence. / Tioga, 3; Washington,
2. Two counties made Democratic
gains-Chemung, 4; Schuyler, 1. Three
counties made no change-Otsego, Put
nam, and Seneca The Republicans
captured Democratic boards in Broo1ne,
Chenango, Cortland and Steuben, and
virtually secured Montgomery and On>
andaga, where full boards have not yet
been chosen.
We may add that this result should
silence the silly argument that Hill
should be the nominee $ because he can
carry New York; MAHoNE carried Vir-
GINA once, but when the revolt year
came around it fell upon him with cy-
clonic results. Last night a monster
meeting was held in Brooklyn to protest
against the machine. These are pro
tests from thousands of Democrats
against undemocratic methods. They
are protests in the interest of the life Of
the Democratic party.

Revival of Business in Roanoke

ECeV1Vdl Oh BUSINESS III Roanoke.
From the Times we learn that business
activity is growing in that enterprising
city, and that as the spring approaches
confidence is returning and enterprises
resuming its wanton sway. Other towns
with natural advantages Will realize the
same experience. We look for period
of progress and improvement to pervade
the whole State and where the natural
conditions will justify it, for business to
come up to expectations. The Times
says:
"The renewed and wholesome activity
which characterizes Roanoke's leading
industries is a source of qualification to
the public. The season of prosperity is
growing, and will continue to grow into
the future.
The Machine Shops are running up to
the mark of the flush year of 1890. The
various plants in the West End are COM
ing into full operation. The Hardware
plant is increasing its forces week by
week, and the Roanoke Iron Company's
rolling mill will start Monday. Ships
ments over the Roanoke and Southern
are increasing in volume, and receipts
from that line show favorable dimen-
sions.
The danger which seems most immi-
nent in that many Roanokers will not
recognize the return wave of prosperity
and will miss the golden opportunities
of 1892 by being too slow to act. Time
must be seized by the forelock this year"
