THE vestibule limited makes 10 stop
from Mckinley to Prosperity. Hens
are even expected 10 lay two eggs
day and one at night.
The election of Mckinley and the
change Of administration will probably
not have any particular effect upon the
regular business Of the hen. In fact
people should not expect the Government
TO lay It's hand upon any occupa ton or
inC-stry for the benefit Of anybody. 1t
is enough If the Government economical
~ and justly administered, gives to every
man. ard every hea. in this country the
undisturbed right and privilege TO work
out their own fortunes, and enjoy the
ripe fruits Of their own labors.
The Petersburg IaoeNAppeal says:
- silver man, prominent in Richmond
business circles. being asked Friday whea
he thought times would be better re-
Piled Times are oetter already Last
Monday l tried TO borrow money from
the banks. but could not do 1t. To-d.ty

ndence has been restored. 1t is the first
signs hold good, the long awaited wave
OF prosperity will soon sweep over the
land
There j. 10 doubt that men who were
holding capital in the fear Of uncertain
financial legislation are now ready 70

The men who throw their energies and
labor into the present situation are the
ones who viii reap the rewards. but
the idlers and croakers. who continuous

are the ones who viii never secure the
advantages Of the occasion.
The Bristol Tines says:
The new election law in Virginia did
not work satisfactorily to either party
1t is a cumbersome affair, and ought To
be changed"
This is true and sill no election law
will ever be framed to suit the people OF
this magnificent Commonwealth until the
arrival of that suspicious hour in which
whatever law we have. is free from
wllfm violation IT letter 9nd in spirit
The Pocahontas Headlight says
Let all personal bitterness towards
each other. which has grown out OF the
! political contest. be buried from hence
| forth, and let US ali MAKE friends ana
| get down TO business. which, Of itself,
| will make better times
This note from the Headlight from
the chorus of the State papers comes
| clearly and distinctly and strikes har-
moniously upon our ears. Just as in
human chorus one involuntarily catches
the melody OF a sweet voice and follows
ii through the varying strains. We are
children all of our mother State, and
there should and must not be personal
bitterness between us.
The Scottsville Courier says.
There is no good in wasting time figur-
ing how things might have been differ
ent: the first duty of good citizen Is 10
! accept the situation as it exists, and TO

This is an exhibition # the spirit
that wins under present conditions. The
way to secure prosperity is 10 work for
| 1t. and not waste precious hours IN
\ dreaming of what might have been.
| Tho Government should not be a distri-
butor of special favors The success of
the individual will be marked by his
diligence in the application of his brain
and muscle to the problems Of life. The
! opportunity is now ripe.
The Bristol Courier says:
Now let us stop talking politics and
! boom business. The man who booms
first will get the best results. Get TO
| work
The sooner every man in this country
gets this thought firmly in his mind and
acts under its inspiration. the suret and
swfter will come the heralded prosper
ity The Southwestern part Of the State
| has boundless resources. and now is the
time to realize upon what nature has
| provided with lavish hand.
The Roanoke Times says:
| THE Richmond Times in creditng this
| paper with the Article given below does

! has all along been an ardent supporter OF
| Mr.. Bryan and free silver. and how our
| Richmond contemporary could have given

Richmond Times of November 9Th. and
