THE attempt to show that low prices

by low prices for other things, does not
really touch the vitals Of the currency
question. Nor does the proposition that
the debtor class and the creditor class
are not really separate classes. nearly
all men being both debtors and credi-
tore. The destructive nature OF the
continued decline of values may best be
shown by taking such examples as
these: The value of farm land in
Pennsylvania between 1870 and 1890
shrank to the extent of 12l million dol
lars. This means absolute loss of in

EXTENSION OF THE VALLEY ROAD.

EXTENSION OF THE VALLEY ROAD.
Tho long-deferred extension OF the
Baltimore and Ohio southwark from
Lexington. Va, Its present terminus, is
thought to be contemplated in the ex-
animation now being made by Balti.,
more hnancier and q Baltimore and
Ohio official Of the Roanoke and South
ern and Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley
railroads. A roadbed has been partially
completed from Lexington to Salem,
near Roanoke, distance of fifty miles.
The completion of this missing link of
fifty miles and the acquisition of con-
trol OF the Roanoke and Southern and
Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley roads
would take it to Wilmington, N. c.. and
give it connections beneficial to 1t and
to Baltimore merchants. New develop
'ments will be awaited, therefore, with
much Observation-Disclosures Sun.
It will be seen by the above and an-
other publication elsewhere in The
TIMES OF to-day that the much talked of
plan of bringing the Valley branch of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to this
city ia now in fair way of realization,
and 1t goes without saying that q more
important movement than this for the
material development OF Roanoke and
Southwestern Virginia, has not been
made in the history of the municipality.
General John Gill. receiver of the Cape
Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad Com
an extensive promoter OF the Roanoke
and Southern railroad, and should the
proposed extension of the Baltimore
and Ohio from Lexington to Whining
ton, N. c., via this city be effected 1t
will no doubt be in large measure
through his fundamentally. The value
of this movement to the sections ira
versed by the proposed connections can
not be over-estimated, as it will open
up new channels of trade and give
Roanoke what has all along been needed
very much-the benefit of competing
line. which means q great deal to the
extension of Its commerce and the de-
velopment Of it's industries.
Again the benefits will not be alto
gether on one side, as the trade to be
secured to the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road by a connecting line with Roanoke
and the South will be an item worth con-
siderable expenditure. The news article
clipped from the Sun goes into details
of the purposes OF the visit of Vice.
President King, Of the Baltimore and
Ohio and also gives description of the
lines embraced in the proposed connec
ton. It is earnestly hoped that the
brightest anticipasions will be realized
and that before many months trains Of
the Baltimore and Ohio will be running
regularly through this city.

Result of the Grand Circuit Trotting Races
Yesterday.
NEW YORK, August 2s-The grand
oircuis trotting races began to-day at
Fleetwood Park, with fine sport and 3
good Monday crowd, $4,000 persons being
present. The old track was in remark
ably good condition for fast time. El
RANT, D four-year old, that has won m any
races in the grand circuit this season,
was the favorite in the first race for 2:3O
trotters, and he would probably have
won in straight heats but for an acct
dent in the third round.
The others went on in the race, and,
with Ell Rami out OF it, Prince Purdy
won cleverly. The judges decided that
El Rami was distanced, but they per-
mitted the others to start again. Prince
Purdy won the next two heats in hand
some style, taking q record OF 2:154.
Moonssone was rather easy winner
OF the 2:10, for which Paul started a
strong favorite. In the second heat
Moonstone lowered her record to 300.
The 2:17 class race I'D to be postponed
on account of darkness, after three
heats.
Catherine Leyburn, the winner of the
nrst heat in 2:14, WAS en- outsider in the
betting, Ben,on Wilkes going to the
post favorite. He outclassed the On
ward mare and won with something to
spare in 2:13, coming back the next heat

Approves of Military Drill.

President Northrop last night lee
tured before a large audience OF
students on military Instruction in
Colleges" He thought that the men
who could not see in the lessons Of the
early rebellion and in the experience
OF last years strikes and riots the
need of military instruction in colleges,
was indeed blind. No nation which
has such a heterogeneous mass OF
aliens and ignorant classes can always
be secure from mobs. "Strikes," said
he, accompanied by the destruction
of life and property, are revolutions
in disguise, which become real revo-
lutions unless promptly checked. The
way to avoid revolution is to be pre-
pared to promptly put 1t down. In
order to accomplish this the state
must at all times be prepared to meet
violence with trained force" He also
highly commended military methods
of physical culture as being conductive
to manly bearing, self-reliance, obedi-
ance and the ability to think and act
quickly. He found no antagonism
between scholastic and military train
ing. and considered the latter as a
mcst valuable alley of the former at

TAMPA, FLA, March 13.--The in

V0lga Notes.

~A6~ 'os$Ss
On Monday REGISTER representa-
tive passed few hours in Volga and
had pleasant visit with several of
the business men and other citizens.
At the Tribune Office Bro. Thos. w.
Bishop was dividing his time between
setting type, nursing cold, and figur-
ing on an irrigation system for his
residence lawn. He informed us that
he proposed to have some sort of ir-
rigation this season, but had not de-
cided upon what kind of fruit he
would raise - Strawberries, cherries
and bananas will receive some atten-
tiOn, but he expressed a particular
liking for oranges, and thought if he
could procure seed enough from Brook
ings market he would plant an orange
consignment.
A visit at the Citizens bank was a
treat. Messrs. Porte and Henry have
lovely collection of rare house plants,
the like Of which is seldom seen.
Their bank is model Of neatness.
Just across the street is the Bank
of Volga. Here we found Miss Jessie
Brown and F. l.. Hughson. who super
intend the business for VIM. Fisher.
This place of business is also very
neat and tidy. Mr.. HughsOn had just
fitted up a very pleasant private apart
ment for himself and proposes to take
all the comfort he can. The ladies
gave quilting Tuesday to furnish
him with bed covering. Nothing like
having the good will of the ladies.
John Armstrong was found in his
general store just hustling things. 1t
is said that Honest John has an eye
out for the superintendency Of the
separator station which will be placed
near Brookings as an adjunct to the
Volga creamery.
John Hall is busy arranging to have
seventy-foot extension built on his
hardware store this spring.
The Volga roller mill is running at
its full capacity, which indicates that
the establishment is giving good sat
isfaction.
Elmer Close wears an ulster over
coat and a pleasant smile with dig
nifty. BY the way, Mr., Close has
made host of friends at VOlga.
The Rich House has good run of
customs which speaks we'll for Land
lord Albertson and his good wife.
Everybody is enthusiastic over the
creamery question. The business
men don't expect to make anything
out of the enterprise but hope to help
the farmers, realizing that the farm
ers will in return help the village.
Alex Nyman was taken seriously i'll
on his return from attending court at
Brookings last week, but DR.. Ever
hard has conquered what might have
been a serious case Of tophoid fever,
and our friend was reported much
better.
VIM. Fisher was absent from the
city, having gone to Vermont on busi-
ness.
A. S. Mitchell was found in his law
office, and he reported that he had
made a sale of w. M. Wrights farm
to wealthy German from Iowa, who
had also bought residence property in
the village.
H. S. Rowe, the jolly merchant,
was at his post of duty, and express
sed himself full Of confidence for the
future.
1t is regretted that all of the busi-
ness houses could not have been WIS.,
tied, but another trip will catch them
and we expect to find space to speak
good word for them all.
