SacriIeqiCus in Politics.

II is not enough that the Bryanite lead
ers have shocked the moral sense of people
by their advocacy of fifty cent dollars.
But some of them seem determined to
offend the religious sense as well. The
conduct at the Ohio State convention
conspiciously illustrated the point. Amidst
the political trumpery brought forward to
amuse the mob was cross of gold and
crown of thorns, the sacred emblems OF
Christianity, placed on table along with
live rooster for the edilication of the
delegates. 1t does not appear ffom the
published accounts of the convention that
one single delegate in any manner made
a protest against the sacrilege. 1t IS also
reported that while minister was Offering
prayer the delegates remained seated and
smoked and shouted to the clergyman to
talk louder.
The historic Democratic party has been
for century the advocate of rights of the
plain people against centralization and the
aggressions of the classes in demanding
special privileges. 1t has been the cham
pion of religious rs well as of civil liberty.
1t mas numbered among its leaders the
purest and best men and the ablest safes
men. And this is how some are trying to
bring great and and time-honored organ
ization down to the dust.-Baltimore Sun.

Pointers For Farmers in Virainla.

The Norfolk & Western Railway is al
ways at work trying TO do something for
the introduction of capital and increased
population in Virginia. An eight page PAM
phlet under the above heading has been got
ten out by the live agents of the company.
The pamphlet is full of valuable statistical
information intended for farmers living
in Virginia, as well as those in the North
and West who intend to find out what farm
ing costs, and what it pays, and whether
farming can be carried on cheaper in Vir-
ginia than in the North and West"
Among the numerous points of informa-
ton we note the following;
The average selling price Of large tracts
of land in Eastern Virginia, in Piedmont
Virginia and in the Great Valley and South
West; What enters in the cost Of pro.
duction; Fixed Charges on Land; Good
average retnrns per acre; Average returns
per acre of Truck Gardens in the Norfolk
section; Average returns from an acre OF
Fruit, trees in full bearing; What to cell
the year round, and many others we cannot
mention without going intotoo much de-
tul. The pamphlet is valuable one and
calculated to DO much good for Virginia
