nann FnR NAME

This is the sum we hear the Salzer Seed Co., offer for suitable name for their wonderful new oats. The United States department of agriculture says Salzer's oats is the best of 300 varieties tested. A great many farmers report test yield of 200 bushels per acre last rear, and are sure this can be grown and even more during 1895. Another farmer writes us he cropped 112 bush- els of Salzer's Marvel Spring wheat on two and one-half acres. At such yield wheat pays at BOG per bu. One thing we know and that is that Salzer is the largest Farm Seed grower in the world and sells potatoes at s2.5o per barrel. IF YOU WILL CUT THIS OUT AND SEND IT with 10c postage to the John A. Salzer Seed Co.,. Lacrosse, Wis, you get free his mammoth catalogue and pack age of above $500 PRIZE OATS. [Kl

The Nicaragua Canal.

The project of the Nicaragua Canal has been debated in the U. S. Senate very vigor- ously. One thing should be remembered about that climate, it is death to almost every foreigner who goes there, and labor CTS especially succumb. It is said that the Panama Railroad cost life for every tie. What an idea of pains and aches is in this sentence. It is mostly due to carelessness. Every laborer provided with St. Jacobs Oil would be armed against these troubles. Mems muscles there are cramped with rheu- matic pain and they ache all over. That's. just the condition where this sovereign remedy can do its best work. The fearful malady is very much like the break-bone fever in certain parts of America.

AN UNFORTUNATE SELECTION.

AN UNFORTUNATE SELECTION.
The move of two OF three members o.
the city council-we cannot believe there
are more-to cripple the public schools ii
a subject for reflection.
The Public Schools Of Staunt0n are the
only place where the working people OF
Staunton can enjoy their rights.
The workman who eats breakfast by
lamplight; goes to his work by sunrise, anf
goes back to his home at dark, sees
little of the improvements that have beer
made for the public by the city.
He has no horse and buggy to speed OIL
the handsome city park drives, and often
no nickel to get there on the cars.
He has no money to go to the city's
Opera House.
He hardly sees the finely paved streets
for it is dark when he goes over them in
the morning and dark when he goes over
them in the evening.
But there is one place he can stand, OF
the same footing with any other man, rich
or poor. This place is the Public
School. There his child receives the
same attention, the same literary educa-
ton, the same manual training. that can
be gotten by the children of the wealthiest
in private schools, and not only that, but
it gets better than they can get at private
schools. If he cannot buy books for his
children they are provided for them free OF
cost. The public school is the armory from
which the children of the workingmen can
without cost draw the weapons for the
battle of life, weapons which put them on a
footing with the greatest in the land.
And yet it is this institution that some
members of the council are holding up for
the first point of attack in ''retrenchment. >
We say to them in behalf of the working
people of this city, Hands Off! And if
they do not heed now, they will hear from
the people themselves later.

FRIDAY MORNING, MAR. Is. 1895
STILL LOOKING UPWARD.


There is just shade more Of brightness
in the sky for this week, not very marked,
but a little brighter. The outlook for struc-
tnral iron work is much better, the prep
arations for building in the large cities are
much larger than expected, and the rail
road orders for new freight cars continue
to grow. An average OF five out of every
six railroads that reported for the fourth
week in February, show an increase Of
earnings over the corresponding period last
year-the Chesapeake & Uhi0's Increase
is $40, 552, the Norfolk & Westerns $780,
297. One of the promises that accompan-
led the adoption of free wool-that larger
foreign market would be given American
manufacturers, has been realized in the
sale, as officially reported by the U. S.
consul there, of American wooden cloths
at profit in Bradford. The sale of Amer
lean cloth in Bradford, the great English
hive of textile manufactures, is something
that would not have been believed a year
ago. G. P. Huntington, the President OF
the Southern Pacific Railway system, in a
conversation with representative OF the
New York Times last week, said: II
shall be very much surprised if this country
does not have from now on, five as good
business years as it has known within fifty
years.'' And then he went on to say:
''In my own business experience OF sixty
wears have never known more than three
good years in ten on an average, and there
usually have been three pretty bad years in
the same ten. Now, the last ten years were
rather unsteady-that is, we did not have
really satisfactory period within the decade.
Therefore, calculate that the time has come
for an improvement, and protracted period
of solid prosperity. Of course, there are agl-
tators and skeptics who still keep up their
dismal talk don't think such talk amounts
toanything. l guess-and it is the privilege
of every Yankee to guess-that we are going
to have five years of good business"

THE SUFFERING NOT CONFINED TO
THE CITIES.

City people have an idea that most, if
not all, of the real suffering in hard times
and bad weather, is to be found in the
cities-for it is there alone that they see it
and that in the country, while the people
may suffer for some things, they always
have food. A paragraph from the Wood
stock Herald says there are many families
in Shenandoah county suffering for food :,
and gives an instance:
One Of our Overseers of the Poor informs
us that he was sent for last Sunday to visit a
family consisting of father, mother and seven
small children. He called at the house and
upon inquiry found that they had not a. par
ticle of food Of any kind in the house, and the
children were barefooted and none of them
comfortably clad. He made arrangements
to supply them with food early the following
morning. Having been called to see another
family, he stepped into the house again on
his return and found the mother parchng
some corn which she had procured for her
children's supper. The same gentleman gave
us information about several other families
in similar condition. Notwithstanding their
destitute condition they made no application
until last Sunday, when it became absolutely
necessary to make the application, or starye.

Reform IN STATE AND COUNTY
EXPENSES,

The discussion of county and State ex-
penses which has been going on before the
Mediums River and North Garden farm
ers' clubs Of Albemarle, has resulted in the
adoption of a resolution in favor of a coll
stitutional convention, and a request that
an itemized statement of their county ex-
penses be published in newspaper by the
Board of Supervisors once year. In their
statement accompanying these resolutions
these two clubs say:
SIT is we'll known fact that our Virginia
judges-with the exception Of the Court OF
Appeals and few corporation judges-are
not employed one third of their time. There
is hardly circuit Judge who could not take
in addition to his own, two or more circuits.
Notwithstanding the enormous sum paid out
in judicial salaries, the individual judges are
poorly paid. What we think could be done
to improve this state Of affairs, is to reduce
the number Of judges and give each judge
enough to do, paying him better salary.
This will result in saving to the State of
about $4,000, and better judiciary. In every
department of the government we believe, a
similar reform could be adopted resulting in
great saving to the people and more efficient
public efficers.'
The Charlottesville Progress in publish
ing this action of the two clubs makes this
comment : sit seems to be the unanimous
opinion of the clubs that there was no cause
of complaint against any county officer but
that our laws needed mending"
