NIRGINIA.DAY.

Major Robert Stiles, OF this city. has
kindly lent us highly interesting letter,
which we print elsewhere, from the
Reverend John S. Lindsay a Virginian,
who is well known in the State, but who
is now rector of a church in Boston.
We cordially endorse all that Mr.. Lind

The descendants of the Puritan and the
Pilgrim have undoubtedly heretofore

general production than the descendants
Of those who began Virginia at James
town. But whilst they were devising The
means for increasing their stores OF
money. the descendants Of Jamostown's
settlers have been busy with meditation
and calm reflection upon the principles
that must govern in the administration
Of government SO that men may not
only preserve the self-rcspcct OF free
citizens. hut protect in their property
rights tho owners OF those very riches
which the descendants OF the Puritans
gave themselves up to obtaining as the
object most worthy OF pursuit on this
earth. Vain Is Il that men shall accumu-
late riches, II there Is lacking in the
minds and hearts Of the people an UNI
derstanding of and an appreciation for
the true principles OF government that
are TO strike the dividing line between
a rule that leaves every citizen free
man. and one which centralizes all power
at given point. and effaces the individ-
ual in an autocratic administration that
accomplishes all It's aims by purchases
with money.
Tho principles OF our government that
establish "A constitutional rule of laws
;nat bear equally on all men are more
due TO the descendants Of those who
settled at jamestown than TO all other
Americans combined. Those descendants
possess glorious heritage In that fact.
and It Is one which they have too Ions
neglected. and which they should at once
take measures for making the world

While we believe that the present quail

are sufficient. with proper registration
and voting. yet If there is to be any
further limitation of the right 10 vote 1t
must be brought about by plain and
clear provisions, which will. in fact and

But, as we think there will be no such
further qualification Of suffrage, the wise
course for us to pursue is to try the
faithful and honest administration Of the
Constitution as it now exists.

ABOUT THE RISE IN
PRICES

The rise in prices within the past few
weeks is claimed. on the one hand to be
the work Of spectators, and on the other
TO be the result Of natural conditions.
our own opinion is that both causes
have had a decided influence, and that
the rise is the result Of their co-opera-
ton. The following statement OF prices
Of few leading articles at different
times is interesting:

When we look over these figures we see
that cotton touched its lowest point at
the end of February. 1895. At that time
the knowledge that the cotton crop was
very large one had become definite, and
this knowledge was exercising its max
imum force Very soon the impression
became general that the crop this year
would be greatly reduced, and that i'm
preston counteracted, Of course TO
great extent the depressing influence Of
the first.
Wheat has been abnormally low; lower
on the whole. perhaps, than it Is ever
likely to be again. The demand Of Eu-
rope has been tantilizing. At times II
seemed about TO call for large quantities.
but as soon as shipments we're made
the demand ceased. The growing propen-
sity TO feed wheat To- stock is undoubted-
" bound to have its influence on the
Price Of the article in the future.
The advance i'm oil has been Influenced
in a large degree by speculation, but the
demand for il has greatly increased, and
the supply on hand has been found
short Like the Governments purchase
Of silver. however, this new demand has
set everybody to prospecting Tor OIL IN
the oil regions, and the Standard OIL
Company will probably have very soon
all it. can take care Of The case is a
striking illustration of the folly Of creating
a purchaser by law. as our government
became Of silver under the Sherman and
Bland laws. That started everybody 10
mining silver, and produced a great
oversupply. But the great factor IN the
case. that which made speculation or
any other business possible, was the
fact that the Fify-third Congress was
dead, and that the country's standard
OF value ~an no risk of being tempered
with for a full year. Men knew that they
could begin enterprises and make con-
tracts. and that the word dollar would
mean tho same thing when contracts
matured that it meant when they were
made. They could trade. therefore, know
ing exactly the conditions upon which
they traded. This gave them confidence
and encouraged them to enter into trans
actions. But all this will come to an
immediate end If another threat is made
TO cut down the standard OF value. No
man is going to part with a dollar worth
a hundred cents II he is 10 run the risk
when the dollar is repaid of having to
take dollar worth only fifty cents.
