Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1895-12-20

Mr.. Koiner knows he has no case upon the
facts, and that his only dependence is upon a
party majority in the legislature. In this he
will be disappointed, as the members of that
body will not be guilty of such fragrant in
justice as to unseat regularly and fairly
elected member, with all the election machi-
merry in the hands of his opponents. Mr..
Simms is not "Populist," but a Republi-
can. elected by the vote of Republicans, Pro-
hibitionists and POpuIists.-Yosts Weekly.
MI. Koiner has made no application to
the majority or minority OF the legislature,
OIL to anybody else, to unseat ''a fairly
elected member" His petition is simply
for the exercise of his right, and decided
by the Supreme Court of Appeals of Vir-
ginia to be his right, to have recount of
the ballots, a right from the exercise of
which he was estopped by the action of q
subordinate court. If it proves that MI.
Simms received a majority Of legal ballots
there will be no contest of his seat; if he
did not, then it is to be hoped he will be
unseated 10y the whole legislature, MAORI
ty and minority. 1t would he most re-
markable proceeding for a Democratic
legislature to refuse Democratic petit
TONER the exercise of a right that had been
guaranteed to him by the highest judicial
authority in the State, and we are not yet
prepared to believe a Virginia legislature,
either Democratic or Republican, would be
guilty of such fragrant injustice

AGRICULTURE IN VIRGINIA.

The annual report Of Col. Thos. White
head Commissioner Of Agriculture, just
submitted to Gov. O'Ferral gives a full
embarrassing statement of the condition
of farming interests in the State.
good part of the report deals with the
question of immigration and Labor; of the
former the commissioner thinks the present
low prices Of large quantities of our sur
plus lands would secure Virginia the lion IS
share of the moving population. but for
the greater cost to familie coming to this
section in comparison to the cost of travel
to the west and outhwest. Much atten-
ton is paid to the fertilizer Department.
The laws in regard to Inspection and
Analysis have been enforced as rigidly as
possible, which no doubt, is Of much prac-
tical value to the purchasers of fertilizer.
Ire sales of fertilizers last year in this
State amounted to nearly -Four Million Dol
lars. An improvement is noted in the
breeding of pedigreed shorthorn cattle in
the valley and southwest, some fine blood
ed animals having been imported during
the year from the West. Legislation is
suggested against the spread Of Texas
Fever. At present the Department is
helpless, us the State has no veterinarian,
nor has the Department any authority for
establishing a quarantine in cases of in
fections disease among stock.
