a head collision just on the suburbs Of

THE WORLDS FIR.
Urgent Appeal to the Virginia People to be
Up and Stirring.

Up and Stirring.
We are requested to publish the fol-
lowing appeal:
To the People Of Virginia:
Now that the election is over, and
Illinois has stood by us. and so emphati-
cally put her foot upon the Force Dill
issue, thus resenting the wrong and IN
the people of the South, and the con-
seriousness OF her rectitude towards us
in Virginia in our hour or trial should
certainly put us In good humor, ana
while in this pleasant mood let us bestir
ourselves in getting ready the exhibits
of our resources for the World S Fair at
Chicago.
Now, the small appropriation made by
the Legislature Of Virginia is mere
necleus TO build upon, and we, the peo-
pie, must not think there is nothing for
us to do, who are outside Of the Govern
or's commissioners. We must awake 10
vigorous action; we cannot, must not,
shall not, fail to look at the citizens OF
other States, who, with commendable
pride are eXerting every effort to col
lect the products of their States, that
they may show to the assembled nations
at Chicago what they have to offer that
is good and beneficial to the human race;
what makes a home desirable. &c. Let
us inquire a little into the matter ana
see how we stand.
What have the counties done so far
towards the Worlds Fair?
Answer: Little, or next to nothing.
What will the counties do?
Answer A few will do WELL others
will do little or. nothing.
How can you get the counties TO make
the State exhibit a success?
Answer; By getting an able canvasSer
(such a ma as Lieutenant Governor j.
Hoge Tyler to go from county to county;
address public meetings; appoint 1--we
men in each county to do the work.
collect, properly label and describe each
article and forward the same to the
nearest railroad station, and there II
goes into the hands Of the aforesaid
commissioners. DO this and every Vir-
ginian will be proud of Virglnia's dis
play who visits Chicago.
The State of Virginia has as great
variety of mineral wealth as any State
in the Union; and l will farther say,
there Is no equal extent Of territory en-
the face Of the known earth that can
surpass Virginia in wealth and variety
of her minerals Shall the world, the
whole world, not have this opportunity
to know the fact? Let each county have
a day for the county collection; have
grand home display. and let the board OF
supervisors for each county give a free
ticket to the Fair at Chicago to the
woman or man who shall offer the best
exhibit. c. NJ S.

A Washington spcial says that there
is no truth whatever in the story that
Senator Mills has been endeavoring to
stir up opposition to Speaker Crisp's re-
election. Senator Mills is not only
high minded man Of magnanimous dispo-
sition. but is thoroughly loyal Demo
crat, and has been doing nothing of the
sort. While it is true that there are sew
eral gentlemen on the Oemocl attic side
of the House who would like to have
Speaker Crisp's place. there is no or
ganized movement in behalf OF any one
of them, and no likelihood that there will
be. on the contrary, the present prospect
is that Speaker Crisp will be reelected
without difficulty.
