The House Of Representatives on
Monday passed the Wilson bill, for
the unconditional repeal Of the
clause of the Sherman silver law,
which authorizes the purchase of
four and a half million ounces of sil-
YER each month, by a much larger
majority than was generally expect
ed and the measure now goes to the
Senate for its action. The Senate
will pass repeal bill also, but the
fight in that body will be over what
is known US the Voorhees, bill, which
differs from the Wilson bill only in
making declaration in favor of BIZ
metalism and which being sent back
to the House, it is stated. will de ac-
ceepted without delay. The days OF
the Sherman act would therefore
seem to be numbered, and it is to be
hoped SO, if the people will thereby
be relieved from the financial dis
tress, which prevails to a greater. or
loss extent, throughout the country,
due, as has been urged by the anti
silver men,to that law on the statute
books. That confidence which was
urged would follow the repeal of the
Sherman act, has, it is claimed,
already improved the business pros
poets of the country

The Republican party will have no
candidates in the field this year for
the State offices, but we are not OF
those, who believe that the Republi,
cans will fail to vote or that their
votes will be cast Tor the Democratic
candidates. We have always be
loved that they viii fall into line as
supporters of the Populist ticket,
despite their assertions to the con-
tr,uy, and the signs are not wanting
III confirm us III that belief. The
Populist are selecting so many Re
publieans as their candidates for the
Legislature in so many counties OF
the State, that it looks like the two
parties are already one and the same.
The following from the Danville
Register indicates what may be ca
pected from the Republicans in other
parts of the State: From the coun-
ties of Henry, Patrick and PittsNva-
MIA come reports that the Deputy
United States Marshals, gaugers,
storekeepers and other revenue Of
ticials, all OF whom are Republicans,
have quit business and gone regular
ly to canvassing in the interest of the
Populist party. Our information Is
that they are bushwhacking in Pat
rick in the regular old-fashioned way
and that they are using their officia
positions in this canvassing for al
they are worth.

The people OF this county have
cause TO congratulate themselves,
when the injuries sustained by them
from the late storm is compared with
that done at many points along the
Southern coast, especially at Savan-
nah and Charleston. From both
places comes the distressing news
OF the killing ana wounding Of
large number OF people, and
the destruction of property at those
places is so great that it is estimated
at a million dollars or more. AT
Charleston. it is said, that the de-
struction is almost as great as that
sustained by the earthquake there in
1885. Besides these places consider
able damage was also done at other
points along the line of the tornado,
but the storm, which was hurricane
in Southern ATTITUDES had lessened
so much in its fury before it reached
Virginia, that it could hardly be con-
-sidered severe here,if compared with
what it was in Georgia and the
Carolinas. A good many disasters to
shipping also are reported along the
Southern coast.

Peaches for o Ccnta Basket.

The Delaware peach crop is now
showing it's size and the most conser-
vative estimates now place it at 5,000.-
900 baskets. The season is but half
over and there have already been
shipped over $500, 600 baskets, which
is much greater than the big crop of
1891. There have been shipped by
rail this season about 1000 carloads,
with an average of 600 baskets car,
and at least 100000 baskets have
been shipped by boat. The growers
and agents are complaining that the
railroad company is not furnishing
them with sufficient number Of cars
Recently there were $4,000 baskets OF
peaches at Milford at one time and
about the same number at Bridgeville
awaiting cars. At the former place
some of the peaches were sold at one
centa basket and at others were
given away.

The handbook Of the Governors
ofArkansas, Alabama, South Carolina
and Virginia has just been issued.
1t is an unpretentious work of SO
pages-not more than one-fourth the
size OF a similar work recently printed
under the direction Of the Virginia
board of agriculture. When the Con-
vention OF Southern Governors met
on April 70 twelve States were repre-
sented, and it was understood that
nearly all OF them would have papers
prepared for this work, which was
issued under the authority Of that
body. All Of the Governors except
those Of the four States named, from
one cause or another, failed to con-
tribute any reports. This explains
the comparatively poor showing in
the hand book. Forty thousand
copies have been printed. Nearly
all Of these are to be forwarded to
agents Of the States at Chicago.
There they will be distributed among
the foreign and other visitors on the
exposition grounds.

Seeking Homes in Virginia.

The Commissioner OF Agriculture
is receiving class of inquiries con-
corning Virginia lands that indicates
a growing interest in this section by
people who have not heretofore
sought residence in the Old Dominion.
A Pennsylvania man writes that he
is about to sell out In that State and
move to Virginia, and that he can
bring four or five families if they can
find partly improved and good smooth
lands. He asks that the boards OF
immigration of several counties send
their information. He would per.
haps be surprised to know that there
is no organized authority on immi-
grafton in this State.-Another in
quiry is from Canada, from a well to
do educated family of means, desir-
ing to purchase me.-Richmond

A virginlan's Liberality to His Native
Town.

Charles Broadway Rouss, the New
York merchant, has sent his usual
annual contribution of $1,000 to the
Shenandoah Valley Agricultural So
ciety AT Winchester. His interest in
the fortunes of the famous old Valley
town, where he made his start in life,
is as live and deep as ever and his
purse is always open to her needs.
Mr.. J. w Faulkner, or this city, who
is also native of Winchester and
who knew Rouss when he started in
there as poor young man, said yes
terday, referring to this last contri-
button. that he could hardly
enumerate his generous gifts to the
town in one shape and another. In
the aggregate they would amount to
u very large sum. His most impor-
tant benefaction was the enclosure
with handsome iron fence OF the
historic Mount Hebron Cemetery,
which cost $1,000 or IS. 900. Then he
presented each of the fire companies
Of the town with an improved steam
fire engine; had artesian wells bored
on the fair grounds, contributed to
the improvement of the roads, and
to every worthy object for the benefit
of the town to which his attention
has been called. During the war he
was a member OF Ashby's Cavalry
and after it's conclusion went to New
York and engaged in business. He is
now rated as millionaire and makes
an annual pilgrimage to Winchester
to have good time" with his friends.
