alter Blackburn was singularly deficient
In knowledge Of human nature not TO

come of the contest. lie has learned IT
ow, however. and will have an oppor-
tlnity 10 study its full import through
the remaining years of his LIE. wnich
he will spend in uninterrupted retirement.
Senator Blackburn's fate naturally suS-
gcsts a consideration Of the next sena-
tcrial election I'm Virginia. We make no
attempt TO predict who VIII be elected
United States senator by the Legislature
which is chosen In 1897. but We do ven
ture to make two predictions In regard
TO 4. They are these: He VIII not De
man who secures a majority OF the Leg
stature by conveying money Of the rail-
reads TO candidates for the Legislature.
ai.d representing TO them that they owe
that money to his kind Offices. The sem
ator will not be a person who buys his
place by this sort OF an expenditure Of
railroad money. We make this prediction
with the utmost confidence.
We feel equally confident that the
senator will not be an advocate OF the
free coinage of silver as that proposition
Is understood. to-vit: Free coinage by
this country alone at ratio Of il 70 ].
We found this opinion upon this line OF
reasoning: Free silver, as an issue, VIII
be tried and passed on at the presi-
dental election in November, 1896. we
feel that we run no sort OF risk in pre-
dieting that free silver VIII be utterly
and overwhelmingly routed and stamped
out in that election November. 1896, VIII
see free silver's grave dug, and its pitilui
ana shrunken remains laid forever
at rest in that grave. Now, The Legisla-
tire which elects the next senator VIII
not be elected in 1886. 1t will be elected
In November 1897. when the people nave
had a whole year TO think and reject
mon the way in which this country
turned on all the vicious follies OF free
silver and trampled them In the miro at
the election of November. 1886 The thing
will have then been long demonstrated 20
be-. the most stupcmdous, wicked. and in
il rious craze that ever took possession
OF n people. The Legislature elected IN
1891. after tho people have had whole
year 10 think on this. will represent the
popular mood on the Subject. and that
me Cd will turn with horror and disgust
from any suggestion that senator shall
he sent to Congress TO revamp that
wretched business and bring on the com
try another panic like that Of 1893. We
say. then that the Legislature elected in
1897 will not hear Of a free-silver senator,
but will elect one who viii be in line
with the property and conservative IN
terests of the country, and who VIII
stand for a dollar worth one hundred
cents. We do not often try prophecy,
but let Us see how this prediction VIII
turn out.

An interesting experiment f. turning

may help 10 solve the agricultural prob
lem In England. was recently completed
In Dorsetshire. Sir Robert EdgecomDe,
seven years ago. bought farm OF AJ
acres. spent money in building roads and
wells. divided IL up into twenty-five hold
ings Of from two TO thirty-three acres,
and offered them for sale, payments to
be made IN ten equal annual instaiiments.
Purchasers were readily found OF all
trades and classes, eight only being agri-
cultural laborers. and all the INSTALL
nents, with slight exceptions. have al
ready been paid off. Instead Of farmer
and three laborers. there are now twen-
ty-iive families OF seventy-fiye persons
on the land, which has increased in value
from 10 pounds to SIS pounds year

thank you for the stand you have taken
in regard to the gambling houses. bar

to find one paper that has the bravery
to speak its sentiments along this line
IL is very strange 10 me that newspapers
ani pictOrals appear at all times 10 be
ready to cry down any effort that IS
made 10 suppress whisky. The cry or
Puritanism is heard at once. and they
seem 10 think that II our people live

carried out. ] believe our police viii
see 10 IL If they get the same support
from their supt riOrs that they will GER
tanly get from our best citizens. Let
the officers OF the law be fearless and
brave. and not be looking so much 10
their reelection. and ! think We will
have a different state Of affairs.
our new chief has an opportunity TO
render valuable service, and 10 inspire
confidence I'm his administration. Let him
feel that he has the support Of all law
abiding people, and let the non-law-abid-
ing feel and know that they will be
compelled 20 observe our laws or take
the consequences; and let those conse-
quences be severe. and quickly admin
istered. Because we have not "Chica-
