MUST WAIT awhile YET.
The Revival Of Busine sso Has Again
Been Postponed.

London. June 19.-The financial ar
ticle in the Times says;
Spectators in the American railroad
market yesterday were disappointed
that the public did not come in as had
been hoped on the mere announcement
that a gold plank had been included in
the Republican platform The explain
alton is that the public wisely deter
mined to wait until a satisfactory So
luton of the question is in fair way
of being obtained.
American public men and Journal
lists who talk and write as if European
investors and spectators had some OBJ
ject in holding alOof from American Sc
curities are utterly mistaken. Nothing
would please the people here and on
the continent better than to buy secur-
tiles if they thought they were safe
Spectators especially, are only too
ready to accept and see the slightest
sign that there is a prospect of the cur
rency system of the United States be
ing reformed. But we have been dis
appointed too often to commit our
selves to any extent
A definite declaration expressed in a
vote of the people of the United States
in favor of gold, we are sure would be
followed by a great change in the attf-
tude of European capitalists. provided
it We're accompanied by legislation plac
ing the treasury in a position to make
the standard effective.

WHY NOT NOW?

Now that Roanoke is to have n new
telephone system, by which phones can
be secured at much less cost than former.
ly, it is appropriate for Salem to stir
herself and secure the benefits and bless
ings of this much needed convenience
Salem can and will support n system of
100 phones, and by combining together,
with little push, pluck and perserver-
ance, we can connect with this new ex-
change system in Roanoke, besides hay
ing n complete system in our town
Salem Sentinel
The Times heartily concurs in the sug-
gestions of our esteemed neighbor, and
hopes that the business men of Salem
will take hold of the movement to secure
connections with the new telephone sys-
tenn here and push it on to success. Be
sides the convenience of telephone sys-
tenn, by cooperation, the people of Salem
could secure service ut much cheaper
rates than they could hope to do alone
Roanoke is in fair way to have an ex-
cellent telephone system, after months
of persistent effort to secure it on the
part Of those interested, and Salem, by
the proper eXertion, can have one also.

Senator Hills position in regard to the
Chicago ticket is again q matter of spec
ulatiOn. 1t is reported in Washington
that he has written letter endorsing
Palmer and Buckner, the nominees of the
Indianapolis convention, but as it was at
one time asserted with equal positiveness
that he would support Bryan and Sewall,
there is no way of reaching a conclusion
except to wait for the meeting of the New
York State Democratic convention1 at
Buffalo, when the Senator will probably
make his position definitely known. AS
it has been stated that he will be guided
in his course by the action,--of the Demo-
cratic party of his own State, and as it
seems settled that it will declare for
Bryan and Sewall at Buffalo, it would
rather appear that he will come out for
the Chicago nominees after all. But,
whatever his course may be, his silence
and apparent vacillation has certainly not
added to his strength with the great mass
of Democrats all over the Union, who can
see nothing in his present course to adj
mire, whether theys.are supporters of the
Chicago or indianapolis platform.

WEDDING CEREMONIES.

The usage by which the priest, Joining
the hands OF the man and woman after
their consent to the marriage, with such
words as set ego vos conjungo," etc.
laid the end of his stole upon the hands so
Joined is ancient, but was not universally
followed. 1t is ordered in some early
Roman Sacerdotalia, but disappeared
from the Roman ritual at or before the
revision of Paul Y. 1t was, however, re-
tanned in the local books of many CONT
mental dioceses.
AT Liege the hands were bound topeth-
er with the ends of the stole, and the prac-
tice was very possibly the same else
where, though cannot at this moment
give another instance Of this particular
detail. But it would seem that the usage
was not followed in England. 1 am not
aware of any trace of it in any ancient
English service book. Indeed, the cere-
mony with which it is connected is abb
sent from most English books, probably
because in the English forms of the SER
vice the joining of hands took place at the
time when the man and woman gave the
troth to one another The later joining
Of their hands by the priest after the de-
livery of the ring was introduced into
England in 154. 1t is n ceremony analo-
gous to but distinct from that with which
the action with the stole is sometimes
conjoined. Hence it would appear that
the use of that action in the marriage
service of the Church of England is of the
nature of innovation rather than restor-
alton, and that the innovation is founded
on amistake.-Notes and Queries

There will be big time in Richmond
on Friday, September 18th. Mr. Bryan,
the Democratic candidate for President,
has promised to deliver speech there on
that date, and there will be such a shak-
ing up of the dry bones of gold mono
metallism as has not occurred at the State
capital since the opening of the campaign.
SO far as Virginia is concerned Bryan
will certainly get the electoral vote of the
State, but the people are anxious to see
and hear the next President of the United
States, and will turn out in large num-
bers from all sections of the common
wealth in honor of the occasion.

WILL BE A GREAT FACTOR.

To the Editor of The Times: 1t is ex-
pected that the Populist party will be a
great factor in the election of VIM. Jen-
nings Bryan to the chief position in the
United States. The party is in fine trim
to extend their aid. The principles
enunciated at Chicago are in full accord
with the political views which have been
advocated by that party for the last four
years, and 1t is anxious to extend it's full
support in order to secure success to
principles. In number of States it has
been accorded on the national ticket q
fair and equitable representation. In
Virginia, however, we find disposition
ON the part of the controllers of the
Democratic party to ignore entirely it's
assistance. This is certainly decidedly
reprehensible. The Populist party in
this State, much stronger than it has
been allowed to assert itself at the polls,
and untrammeled and unhindered by out
side influences, it would poll to- day a
large vote.
The party is asking that it may appear
on the Bryan ticket, with two Populist
electors, which is in proportion to its
voting strength in Virginia. Should
this be accorded it would result in uni
flying the party to Bryan and could, in
no way, he barrier to the consumma-
tion of the wishes of all true reformers
A refusal on the part of the Democratic
State committee along this line would,
to say the least, engender severe criti-
cism from great many of the rank and
file in the Democratic party and might
result in a loss to the cause in some of
the Congressional districts, n loss which
might eventuate in the election of some
Mckinley and gold standard man for
Congress.
The Populists are only demanding
what 1 verify believe to be their dues,
and the odium of failure in any direction
attributable to the action of the State
Democratic committee would, in the eyes
of fair-minded men in Virginia, be great
and inexcusable, and might, in some
sections, impair the usefulness of oul
State political organization This is nc
time for the emenation of hostility among
the ranks of financial reformers. AS an
ardent supporter of Bryan and Sewall
urge compliance to the reasonable and
just demands of the Populists.
