The melancholy days are here;
Those hours of grief and pain,
When frost is in the atmosphere
And Nature frowns again.
The soda fountain man looks grim,
His smile has taken wing.

Seems likewise sorrowing
Ah both their lives from joy must swerve.
Both sigh for what is not.
Both wish 'twere possible to serve

What Wheat Might Have Dene.
Communicated

Mr.. Editor-Now since the price of
wheat has advanced to so cents and is
likely to further advance, and the price
OF silver has deprecated. the DAILY
News" continues to taant the free sill
yer people with the falsity of their
logic, that since the denomination of
silver prices in general have kept pace
with the monetary value of silver.
Why does not the News take the trou-
BILE to inform itself and tell its readers
the true cause of this rise in wheat :?
Every reader knows that the present
rise in wheat is not due to any ordina-
ry demand, but rather to al extraor.
binary demand from foreign countries
to feed millions on account of the
failure Of the wheat crop in those
countries. The free silver advocates
stand to their logic today as firmly as
they ever did, having indisputable
facts before them that since the vicious
legislation OF 1878 destroying the mon
ely value of silver, prices of commodi-
ties ia general have kept pace with the
price OF silver. If silver had been left
alone, and the two metals were on an
equal footing, wheat today would be
bringing 81 rs or $1.65 instead Of 80
cents, and the farmer would thereby
be enabled To lift some OF his obliga-
lions which, have pressed SO heavily
upon nina ciiese many years. liz Con !

A Change In the Laws Needed.

Albert Voters, a negro, who was con-
demned to be hung in Fayette Co., w.
Va, for a most brutal crime, and who
had been once respited by Gov. Atkin-
son, made his escape from the Fayette
Co. Jail last week, and is now at large.
The execution was to have taken place
this month. This leads to a matter
we have long considered worth calling
to the attention of the Virginia law
makers. We believe that the laws of
Virginia should be so modified as to
require that q criminal condemned to
death should be at once removed to
the State peni,entiary, there confined
till the day of execution and there exc
cuted. 1t would lessen escapes, it
would do away with public executions
and it would cut off the opportunities
of the criminals becoming the most
noted, lionized, and sought after per
son in the land. We make this sug-
gestion in the hope that public atten-
ton may be called to it through the
press and its merits or dement's freely
discussed.

Gen. Jim Walker wants campaign
iii which honest elections will be the
chief plank in the Republican plat
form. The Republican leaders in Vir-
ginia now are Brady, Bowden and
Waddill. Below is in part what Col.
VIM. Lamb of Norfolk, chairman of
the Republican State committee, says
of these three graces, in an address to
Virginia Republicans, published last
week:
IA more incompetent set of political
deadbeats were never intrusted with
the destinies of great party. For
this trio to pirate of honest elections
was too ridiculous to deceive the most
credulous women and children of the
State. Their records are too well
known to be hid by canting hypochrisy
They have impressed the administra
ton with the idea that they represent
almost the entire party in Virginia
and that the chairman and his friends
on the two committees, who were lille
gally turned out, have no following in
the State. Unless the eyes of the ad
ministration are open to the truth o.
the situation this disreputable crowd
who have no idea of party beyond off
cial patronage, will completely destroy
the responsibility of our party an(
bring us into contempt both at home
and abroad.

beauties of nature they carried upon their
rugged sides and in their vine-tangled raw

of the fiat were past, and the party
emerged into the bright sunlight of our own
beautiful Valley. the thoughts of the party
turned to their pleasant homes. and the
duties there to be assumed.

Now if the sheriffs of the State are

people will offer no objection, but we
do not insist upon them doing SO, as
