The President of Nicaragua must

matter into his own hands. 1t is
a tough crowd that holds that old
reservation and Nicaragua is often
too full Of her own business to at

order. There should be such a les

The Brazilian refugees who took
asylum on board Of the Portu-
guese war ships are in a quandary.
Portugal refuses to unload them
at any port save a rational one
and then stipulates that it shall
be under such conditions as prac-
tically to preclude their return to
Brazil. There is such practical wis
dom in this adjustment of the case
as to call forth general commenda-
ton. 1t is wise and just.

Any competent analysis will SHOW
, that there is an infinite distanc,
between the Reed prescription
and Crisp's bolus.
The English journals are big
with reasons why Lord Roseberry
cannot marry the daughter of the
Prince of Wales. Better wait un

hitch teams for life, before null
tiplying reasons to show that they
cannot trot comfortably in double
harness for the matrimonial
stakes.
| There is a general regret among
Clark Democrats in Texas that
Hogg did not enlist in Frye's army
and march out of the state. One OF
these gentlemen offered the LIGHT
a chrome if he would secure the
coveted enlistment, but the LIGHT
informed him that it was not set
thing Democratic difficulties.
The regular revenues of this
city under the present taxation are
ample to pay all current expenses,
including interest charges, and
there is something radically wrong
with the management of the pub
lie business when the interest on
city bonds is allowed to default
and her credit to run down.
The majority of ninety-twO in
the present House of Representa-
tives is the target that the Repub.
licans of the country are firing at
this campaign. They may not
shoot out all the numbers, but they
will try mighty hard. Even now
the Democrats are trembling in
their boots at the prospect.
The municipal elections in the
large cities as we'll as in those
that are not so large show what
the country has in store for the
Democrats when they come before
the people for their suffrages this
fall. The language of these
elections is eloquent in denuncia-
ton of the dominant party.
If the Texas Republicans are
wise this campaign they will let
the Democrats engineer their own
fights and confine their own atten-
ton to getting out a full party
vote in every congressional dis
triCt. The lesson of two years ago
ought not to be lost sight of in
that short period.
Before this Democratic Congress
proceeds much farther with its
work of destroying the industries
Of the country it will be forced by
the logic Of circumstances to pass
a bankrupt law. 1t is a heartless
parent that does not provide for
the kids of his own borntng.
A knowledge Of the American
language should precede, as a sine
qua non, the participation in the
making of laws for the government
of American people. No man
should vote who cannot read the
names on his ballot, printed there
in good plain Uncle Sam.
The interested spectators of the

envelope with the letter that never

Patchwork on the principal
streets of this city has been done
ad nauseum. What is required is
the substantial paving of the
thoroughfares to the depots, and
the other streets within the mile
limit.

predictions of rain if it were pour

Death of j, n. otey Carey.

Not having heard of his illness, which was
of short duration, we were shocked on Thurs
day evening when told that our friend, Mr.. j.
H. Otey Carey, was dead, having died of
apoplexy at the Central Hotel in this city, at
the age of SO years and months. He was a
native of Lewisburg, w. Va, and a son of
the late William Carey, a prominent and
highly respected citizen of that place The
deceased was a gentleman of intelligence and
affable manners and was popular with all who
knew him.
For a number of years he was associated
with the venerable James Withrow, Esq, of
Lewisburg in conducting, successfully the tan
nirg business. Some years ago he was clerk
at the Virginia Hotel of this city, and after
wards served in the same capacity at Buena
Vista. Since then he had been out of bust
ness, and resided in this city. He was never
married. He is survived by three sisters
Mrs. r. S. Turk of this city, and Mrs. Judge
Adam c. Snyder and Mrs Thomas S. Feam-
ster of Lewisburg, On Friday morning, his
remains were taken to Lewisburg, w. Va, for
interment.

CRUSHED TO DEATH IN A MILL
ScottsUille, Va, Nov. 16.-Mr. John j.
Morgan, of Toga, Buckingham county,
met with horrible death some time
during the night of Tuesday. He was
alone at the time at his grist mill grind
ing, it being his custom to run all
night. Not coming home to breakfast,
Mrs. Morgan sent messenger for him,
and Mr.. Morgan was found lying dead
upon the floor. Portions of his oyer
coat were hanging in shreds about the
revolving cog-wheels. 1t appears Mr..
Morgan was in the act of changing the
gear of the machinery, when his
clothes became entangled and drew
him to a terrible death. He leaves a
wife and several children. When
found yesterday morning Mr.. Morgan's
lantern was lying extinguished close
to his dead body.

STANTON SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISER

thus facilitating the drying process in corn,
there is not much improvement yet apparent
in this particular. The offerings of corn for
shipment are moderately increased.
Influences calculated to aid the wheat mar
kets toward better values have been gaining
more of recognition, and confidence is increas.
ing. The Chicago market closes 2sa2l cents
higher than week ago, and near the highest
point of the week. The present position re
fleets quite an improvement from the low
point, but there is ample margin for much
more emphatic advance in the not distant fu-
ture than has yet occurred.
FINANCIAL.
The following are extracts from the Finan-
cial Review of Henry Cews of November
18th =
Although the immediate effect of the bond
issue was realization of profits made in antlc-
ipation of the event itself, its ultimate effect
will be to strengthen confidence both at home
and abroad. Nobody contradicts the fact
that the necessity of the loan is misfortune
but the determination of the Government to
protect the national credit by the best posi-
BILE expedient, until the deeper causes for dis
trust of our currency system can be remedied
is the strongest sort of argument for conf
dence. Mr.. Cleveland has been lavish enough
in promises to this end; yet his action in the
matter has not been prompt enough to meet
the preferences of the banking community.
Europe, however, can now rest assured that
our currency will be maintained upon gold
basis, and this will do much towards over
coming the prejudice of foreign holders, who
have very natur ally feared that interest and
principal of our securities might some day be-
come payable only in debased money. AS
for business interests, sufficient time has not
yet elapsed to actually feel the results of the
late election. Everybody now believes that
silverism, populism and tariff agitation are
questions of the past; or at least that the coun-
try is assured of rest from such disturbances
for some time to come.
Investors show general confidence in the fu-
ture, and while often not able to buy stub
bornly refuse to sell; in fact, the tenacity with
which stocks and bonds are held is unusual.
Money is plentiful and easily obtained for en-
terprises of merit; but railroad stocks are ma
turally neglected while earnings continue so
poor. Better business, however, will soon re-
suit in improvement in this respect hence
railroad shares will quickly share and posi-
bly, anticipate the brighter prospects now in
view.

The esteemed editor of the Spectator is re-
spectfully informed that Christ was born in
Bethlehem, of Judea. We volunteer this in
formation from the fact that there appeared
in the last issue of that valued and accurate
paper an excellent article on the city of Naz-
areth, taken from the Century magazine, and
headed THE Birth Place of Jesus" Or was
1t the Centa1ys mistake? -Staunton Post.
We thank the Post for calling our after ton
to the singular inadvertence. The heading to
the article referred to was not the mistake of
the SPECTATOR, nor, we presume, that of the
Century magazine, but of some paper from
which it was clipped when furnishing select
ed copy
We do not regret the oversight of the mis-
take, as it gave the Post the opportunity to
let the public know that it knew that Bethle-
hem was the birthplace of Christ.

Correction.

We thank the Argus Tor its kind and too
flatterng notice of the SPECTATOR, but would
correct its statement Of the date at which we
became its editor. 1t was not the 9th of DC
tober, but the LIST of May, 1862 that we became
the editor and proprietor of the SPECTATOR,
though we owned an interest in itseveral years
before that date, when it was ably edited by
Messrs. Jos. A. & J. L. Waddell, our partners.
Prior to that time we had been editor of two
other papers. We commenced our editorial
labors 1st of Sept, 1919, in Lewisburg, Va,
now West Va. where we edited the Lewisburg
Chronicle till 1854; then the Staunton True
Anaerican in 1856 and 1857; and then, the
Staunton SPECTATOR from May LIST, 1861 to the
present time, without intermission, through
war and peace, except when the office was de-
stroyed by Gen. David Hunters order in
1864. In two months after the close of the
war, the publication of the SPECTATOR was re-
sumed and has been published continuously
since to the present time
