POLYrLCHNIC INSTITUTE.
Cadets Discussing the Richmond Trip
VIII Not Vote for Free silver.

BLACKSBURG, VA, June 12.-he ca
dets OF the Virginia polytechnic Institute
are now in the midst of examinations,
bot, notwithstand that fact time is found
10 discuss the Richmond "Trip.
The students, as rule, are making
CXccptit naily good grades on their finals,
and the year has been d very profitable
one.
The battalion presents a very fine ap-
pearance III the drills which take place
daily. and viii undoubtedly make a good
showing in Richmond.
There is still considerable discussion OF
the money question TO be heard In
Biacksburg and the county. and there is
no doubt but that the Democrats VIII
lose a great many votes here next fall
if they adopt the free-silyer platform.
These men. too, who say they cannot
conscientlously support free silver are
among the best men In the party, and
men who have welded considerable in-
nuence IN the elections here.
That IS the one strange thing about the
silver question in this county. the major
ity of the educated and influential men
are bitterly opposed TO it. while those
who know nothing about the question In
n superintendent degree have lost their
heads over it, and believe that Il viii
prove a panacea for all the evils known
10 the human race.

Tho New York Tribune Of Thursday
contains a characteristic editorial article
which 1t heads The Passing of Golden
ism" The following is its opening pas
sage:
"Athanasius contra mundum," as Mr.
Gladstone once grandiloquently called
Frce-Trade GREAT Britain, seems TO he
growing weary. lie could. no doubt, main
tain his ground still longer against the
worldwide hercsy of protection. But Tor
what good? The Athanasius Of old stood
for a spiritual principle. and could for its
sake we'll stand against hostile world.
This Athanasius of to-day stands merely
for material gain. OF that We may be
sure From the beginning Of Cobden's
crusade down to this present day pounds,
shillings, ami pence and nothing more,
have been the inspiration of free trade.
Thus far the system has, on the whole,
been profitable. 1t is profitable to-day.
But how much lorger will il continue so?
And if commercially profitable, will it be
so from a political point of view?
That is about up to the Tribunos mark;
and pray tell us if pounds. shillings. and
pence arc the inspiration Of free trade,
what is the inspiration Of protection? Are
not dollars the inspiration Of protection?
and is there any difference then between
the Inspiration of each, except that it il
called pounds in the one case end dol
lars in the other? Is it not lucre in
both? The Tribune would. Of course, have
the world believe that the protective
tariff people are philanthropists. and that
all they are after is lettering the con-
dition Of workingmen. But that old
chestnut is now so old and rancid that
even the Tribune has to turn its head
away to conceal its smiles when it brings
II forward.
But the Tribune makes one concession
in the above which we admit surprises
us. 1t comedies that highlands free
trade system has so far been a success.
We'll wei. we'll. And free trade has
made the immense additions 10 England's
wealth and prosperity which we have seen
her acquire since.

that tcnacliy and resolution In which
tho English have cclipsed, all other peo-
pies Of whom history furnishes us any
record.
II IA deeply interesting 10 contemplate
the advances which England has made IN
material prosperity and possessions dur
ing the long and prosperous reign OF
Oncen Victoria. England has lost noth-
Ing which was hers when that reign DC
san. Her advisers gave up local cohtro'
az the Transvaal. 1t IS true, but the
Transvaal was no part OF her dominions
when She came TO the throne, and such
loss as was sustained has been amply
made up in the gold Engl.shmen nave
taken from II. and in the acquisitions she
nas made in New Zealand, Asia, and
Africa. the vastness Of which few English
men even now realize. She reigns to-day
indeed over probably ono hundred and
twenty millions more souls than she did
when. as a girl cf eighteen, she was
made queen. the total number OF her
subjects amounting now to all Of four
hundred millions Of people, or one-Guarter
Of mankind.
The revenue which England draws to-
day from this vast mass Of population IS
ut least double what she received when
Victorias reign commenced. and yet 1t
falls 80 lightly upon Englishmen that they
hardly know they pay taxes. The ton

growth in the nations prosperity during
her reign is something that goes far
beyond tho dreams Of Eastern magma
ton. and makes her empire a thing q
beauty and grandeur that simply as
tounds the mind when an attempt is
made TO grasp fits proportions.
And whence has all this progress and
development come? il has grown out
Of the fact that fifty years ago England
determined 20 cast off Of her trade the
shackles that the feudal age and years
Of superstition had bound it with, and
allow her people 10 trade at large with
an mankind as they would. Turning her
people thus freely into the whole world.

Some three years ago, Sam Weston,

into an agreement with his wife by
which the two were to devell apart. The
lady was bound by her paper not 70 in

he was to furnish her with a certain
amount weekly for her support. Twice
since then, she has had him hauled up
before Police Justice Burroughs on
charges OF adultery and each time he has
been acquitted The last occasion Of
this sort was Tuesday last, when she
declared that Weston was not keeping
his part of the bargain and she proposed
10 continue 10 have him arrested until
he paid her the amount agreed on, every
week. As said before Weston was ac-
quilted. but Mrs. Weston this morning
swore out another warrant for him.
