BRADSTREET'S REVIEW.
The Between Seasons Period of Dull
ness Has Arrived

New York June 90 = Bradstreet's to-
morrow vii say: national presidential
convention in opening week Of the be-
tween seasons period of dullness explains
the restriction in volume of trade. In in
dustrial lines there is no improvement In
iron and steel, prices of some varities tend
lower and buyers manifest little interest as
to requirements. Present activity among
dry goods jobbers is confined to working or
odd lots preparatory to stock taking.
Manufacturers of cottons have cut quo
tatiQns to attract buyers, and while there
is Increased activity in flannels for fall
delivery, recently opened fall prints have
found few buyers. The practical end of the
strike and boycott at Milwaukee is followed
by a threat Of iron and steel workers at
Pittsburg to strike if not granted an adj
vance by July l. The movement of mer-
chandise is smaller in volume than a week
ago. greatest activity being shown in hard
ware, groceries, drugs paints and cloth
ing.
Manufacturers of woolens are reported
more hopeful and are making inquiries as
to supplies of raw material, but quotations
for wool at the interior are still above Il
parity with seaboard prices. Relatively the
most favorable trade report of the week is
from Chicago, where inquiry for iron and
steel has increased and specifications for
work are coming forward more free
ly. This has created a better feeling

both coasts Of the United States this week

ENGLISH COMMENT.
/ What London Papers Think of the
/ Outcome of the Convention.

What London Papers Th1nIN Oh tho
Outcome of the Convention.
London, June 90 Commenting on the st.
Louis convention, the Daily News says:
The important fact is not Mr.. McKinleyS
nomination, which was generally antlci-
pated. but that he is compelled to stand on
a gold platform. 1t shows that the great
party which is now believed to control The
political reins of the United States has re-
pudiated all design of tampering with the
currency 1t also forces Mr.. Mckinley to
fight rather as a monometallist than as
DrotectiOnist. President Cleveland has done
his best to relieve the Democrats from the
suspicion of financial uDsoundness. But
they are not all orthodox economists like
Mr. Cleveland, and Mr.. Mckinley viii have
to uphold the flag of c numerical honesty.
1t is true that the Republicans accepted the
principle Of bimetalliSm as a practicable
policy if carried out by international agree
ment. But as no such agreement is posi-
ble this pious opinion may be neglected.
The Republicans must be congratulated, ii
not upon their candidate, at least upon their
decision not TO have anything to do with
mischevous Illusions"
The Graphic SAYS. "The emphatic declar-
alton in favor of gold, side by side with the
solemn progression with Interpretations
ISM is proof that the economic heresy Is
not hidebound against the more obvious
truths of the orthodox schools"
The st. James Gazette says: at cannot
Cleveland and Olney have shown a too
friendly spirit, but we fear we must not
hope for better things from the Republic
cans Jingoism is not a monopoly of one
party, and we shall be lucky If we escape
causes of differences during McKinley's
regime. We shall be lucky, too, if we
succeed as speedily as possible in arranging
for the permanent arbitration of which the
marquis of Salisbury spoke yesterday. In
conclusion the st. James Gazette congrat-
ulates Great Britain on the fact that IL
Mckinley is elected, the United States will
continue to pay its obligations in honest
money
The Globe remarks that Ftthe outside
world would prefer the installation of
government pledged to both gold standard
and a moderate tariff" and suggests that
"President Cleveland might consolidate un-
der gold the Democrats Of the non-manu-
featuring states by proposing to continue
the existing tariff with slight modifica-
tions."
The Westminster Gazette says: 1.-THE pro-
tention policy to which the party is pledged
will doubtless be injurious to our trade as
before. but for the moment, there Will pc
a sense of relief at the fact that the Re-
J publicans are against tamperng with the
currency

Spectacle Swindiers.

During the summer pedlar passed
through our counties selling specta-
Giles. His method was to tell each
victim that he had just found" a
pair of gold spectacles and wanted to
sell them. He did quite thriving
business. Of course they all proved
to be brass. Now comes new pedlar
with new scheme. He offers brass
spectacles, watches, &C., as gold, says
he gets certain price for them, but
to this particular customer (that. is
each one) he will sell a pair at cost,
naming a price ten times their value.
This he assures them is the lowest
wholesale price and that the jeweler,
or jewelers. in that neighborhood
wherever he isl buy their specta-
Giles of him at the price. he is then
Offering them to his customer. This
falsehood ought to be clear.to every
body, but he succeeds in duping the
people right along-judging from the
articles brought to me to value.
Will our people never learn, even
by costly experience? l should GER
tainly think they have had enough
lessons OF that kind.
Respectfully.

throwing away $500 of the school

throwing away $500 of the school
funds on school holidays? This is not
matter for sentiment or bombastic
rhetoric, but for the exercise of plain
common sense and the most rigid
economy. I have done the best l
could as a school trustee for twenty
two years, and I think I can safely
say that the schools of Atlantic are
equal to those of any district in the
county, though in proportion to area
is financially the poorest district
in Accomac. Zone of the Public"
thinks my wisdom has not grown
apace with my years." but nearly
the whole of his diatribe is absolutely
irrelevant to the point at issue as |
have clearly shown. at least know
that the President does not "order"
a holiday. but he does very properly
issue his proclamation inviting" not
Ordering" the American people to
observe n certain day as day OF
Thanksgiving to "the Almighty
giver of every good and perfect gift
for His manifold blessings to this
great nation''-made great by obe'
dience to law, not to proclamations,
Zone of the Public" (mighty wise in
his own conceit), has arisen to teach
us that obedience to the statute law
of Virginia is marrow localism ana
that the time has passed for that,
but we must bow down and do
homage to the proclamations of those
in authority. That doctrine may suit
the little revolutionary republics OF
South America, but this great North
American republic will doubtless
continue to prefer government by
statute, and common law in prefer
epce to a government by proc
lamation. | shall certainly con-
tinue to obey the laws of old Vir-
ginia no matterif lone of the Public'
does think that is marrow localism "
I shall also try to teach the children
that obedience to law is one of the
highest duties of true patriots. Let
anarchists and cranks teach that
proclamations are higher law" than
our Virginia statutes, and let Zone
of the Publicn honor and thank a
public official for disobeying the
laws of our State. This is a great
and free country and there are many
unique characters in it, but as man
of plain, common sense, without any
love for this new-fangled higher
law doctrine, l shall stand by the
laws of old Virginia. Neither the
charge of narrow localism" nor mis-
representation shall drive me from
this position. Never, never, never.
