mormon BOSSES 4 PoPULIsT.

1t looks like Col Harry Skinner is
blending the pregnant hinges OF the
knee that thrift may follow fawning,
and that he is taking his medicine with
q wry face.
A few days ago, Mr.. Holton, Republi-
can chairman, who had heard that
the Populists in Tyrrell were eontem-
plating voting with the Democrats
wrote and virtually demand
ed of Mr.. Skinner that he put stop
to ii, or cease 10 expect Republican
support. As soon as Holton's letter
reached Washington, the correspon-
dent Of the Richmond Dispatch in
teryiewed the Congressman from the
First district and thus states the re-
suit of his interview:
saw Mr.. Skinner this morning.
He said he had received the letter.
What will be your reply?'
There will be no reply" said he.
II will have the people TO do the
replying"
This is a significant defiance to
Holton and the Republicans by this
Popnlist; and no doubt il taken
with the advice and consent Of But
Ter.
That was for Washington consump-
ton. Here's the humble letter he
wrote to Mr.. Holton:
II thank you kindly for your let
ter of the 21st (relatiye to alleged
fusion Of Popu1ists and Democrats
in TyIrell county, This county
gave us trouble two years ago and
then ran three tickets. My inform
alton is contrary to what you re-
present I will investigate thor
ougllIy and let you know the stat
us. I am satisfied you are in err
ror''
Holton issued his order and the Con-
gresham promises to obey! Does it
mean that Col. Skinner is still in the
employ Of the Republican party?

DON'T LIKE PROSPERITY.

The Dispatch, like Candidate Bryan
and the Virginia sun. is afraid Of pros
perity and even discrcdits its own news
in order to head Oft anything like an in
dustrial boom. In its issue of yesterday
ii printed two interesting Items by wire,
showing industrial activity, and the one
was headed Pretended Improvements Ia
Condition Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
and Allied Roaos' and the other Fake
Mckinley Prosperity" II also omitted
the usual reports from Dun and Brad
street which. as far as we know. it has
never failed to print. Perhaps the reason
was that both of these reports were filled
with evidence of returning prosperity.
We take the following from the Brad
street report.
The expected has happened IN the sue
cess Of the hight for sound money. one
result is a return OF confidence in the
SATELLITES o. values and in an early re-
yival Of demand for staples Lower
rates of interest and u Willingness Oh the
part OF the banks 10 make loans which
had previously been declined are addi-
tional evidences of the meaning of the
maintenance of the gold standard.
Sales of cotton goods have been freer
and some mills are better employed.
Woolen mills also report more orders,
and tendency TO prefer higher cost
goods. Numerous Industrial establish
ments which have started up within two
days report being offered large orders
If they would sell for 1897 delivery at
present prices. Millions Of dollars worth
Of orders for general merchandise given
contingent OF the success OF sound
money are now being filed.
Pig iron is twenty-five cents higher With
sales OF considerable amounts IN west
ern markets.
Lumber is firm. The tendency IS p
ward, and there is an advance for white
pine. Renewed demand for cotton GOODS
and placing orders with mills adylnce
print cloths.
From r. C. DUN & Co.'S report we
take this:
great revolution has been effected
this week in the conditions which con-
troll business. II could not be ~ any
fair degree reflected as yet in transac-
lions or in records. but there IS ample
evidence already that crushing weight
has been lifted and rolled away, and the
business world has begun to adjust Itself
10 a state OF freedom and security which
Il has not known for years. Dread OF
,mmeasurable disaster no longer locks up
resources and paralyzes enterprise. ana
new contracts involving many millions
have become binding since the election.
The instant vanishing Of the premium on
gold. which had reached about ? per
cent. the unlocking OF many millions
which had been boarded. the collapse Of
the interest rate from and II TO and
51-2 per cent. and the quick demand for
American securities on foreign account
are signs of more lasting promise. The
lifting Of the load OF peril and OF fear. all
men know means an incalculable relief
for all industry and trade.
The election Immediately stiffcned prices
of pig iron which reached Sl2 at Pitts
burg for Bcssemer. ana the certainty
that many large orders for buildings
and bridges and other finished forms
would now become operative justlfes
some advance.
Could prejudice and political spleen go
much further than to resent the benefits

THE SOUTH,S PAKT IN IT.

A review of the returns from the recent
election is most distressing to those citi-
Gems of the Southern States who believe
that their happines, prosperity and fu-
ture development are inseparably con-
nected with a sound financial system
cheerful obedience 10 law, and undeviat-
fng respect and regard for all property
and contract rights. The Times Is an
absolute devotee OF this faith. and 1t
therefore scans the returns with feeling
of the utmost sorrow and disappoint-
ment at the place which the South holds
In these returns.
In a review OF the subject the New
York Journal Of Commerce says:
1.-THE forces on the side of sound money
are found to include at least twenty
eight States with over forty-four mil
lions OF people, while the support Of a
debased currency has dwindled TO sew
enteen States with population Of bare
" eighteen millions. The communities
that stand for Organism include not more
than % per cent. OF the people Of the
United States, and represent less than
20 per cent. of their wealth.
This was written when it was supposed
McKinley's vote in the Electoral College
would be somewhat larger than it actually
will be, and it is not. therefore, perfectly
accurate. The correct figures. however,
viii make no material change in the
state Of the case. and the great, bald.
Notifying fact stands out that if the
south were stricken out of Mr.. Bryan's
column. Mckinley would still have this
great body Of the population and the re-
sources Of the country at his back. while
Bryan would have nothing outside OF the
silver States supporting him for their
own reasonable purposeS. except Kan
sas. Nebraska. Missouri and Washing
ton.
This Is indeed a distressing fact to a
patriotic scutherner. lie does not wish
10 feel that his section has placed itself
in antagonism 20 the progressive parts Of
the country. that ii has allied itself to the
mine owners OF the far West. who would
sacrifice every interest in the country 10
ind a market for their silver.
The case against the South. upon its
fa-c. is certainly a bad one. but it is
not really as bad as 1t appears. From
the returns already made in Virginia II
IS apparent that in the white Democratic
counties there was widespread revolt
against the Chicago programme. These
counties really represent the sentiment
OF the State upon the issues. When. how
ever. other considerations prevailed as
IN the negro counties, the vote was re-
turned SO as 10 reverse the will OF the
voters. Matters are not so bad. therefore,
in Virginia as they appear 10 be upon
their face and. when the prosperity
that returning confidence will spread
over the country has truly set in. so that
IA wi, DO obvious 10 the eyes OF all men,
the South VIII cut itscf loose from the
destructive heresy CT free silver and will
Kradually reform It's election laws; and
then II will become the most conservative
IS well as the most prosperous part Of
Ais Union. SO mute It be.
