W. 4 L. not against foot bali,

1t has been the opinion that Wash
ington & Lee was on the eve Of inter
dieting foot ball, and number o:
Miss Nancy newspapers and effeminate
reformers have been shouting their
squeaky soprano shouts about-it, The
Rockbridge News sets the public right
on this question and does much toward
helping the University to have stu.
dents next year, by explaining why
the foot bali team OF Washington s.
Lee was disbanded. It grew out of
the fact that the team had disobeyed
rules, and the order was entered to
discipline it and not to discourage de-
cent foot ball. It aptly quotes the
Washington Post in saying that the
lynching States OF Georgia-and Arkan-
sas are going for foot ball.

I,l1s Lynehburg convention, over
which the Hon. Jacob Yost presided,
was called for the purpose in part OF
breaking down the recognized Repub-
lioans organization OF the State. 1t
appointed itsSown chairman, it adopt
ed its own platform, it nominated its
own ticket, it set up dual govern
ment, and it received no recognition
from Washington. In the face of these
facts the Hon. Jacob Yost is crying
fraud at election officers who. he says,
refused to instruct voters that the
nominees OF that convention we're the
real Republican organization and ar
range their tickets to suit the preten.
tions of this faction. We hope the
Legislature il 1t does anything will
remove such burden from the judges

GRAIN TRADE AND CROPS.

The Cincinnati Price, Current Of last !:
Thursday says
The conditions generally understood
as attending the autumn sown wheat
crop have not been essentially changed
during the week. In some portions of
the West, in the Missouri valley and
elsewhere beyond the Mississippi. there
is considerable complaint of lack of
moisture. but which is not SO serious
in its influence on crop conditions as it
is on the water requirements of those
localities, especially with reference to
stock.
. There has been more freezing wealth
or, and lower temperature III the CEN
trail regions, than previously this sea-
son. In fact there has been an unusual
delay in winter conditions. This has
favored the wheat plant, and in some
degree has restored pasture growth.
Taken as whole the late correspond
ence is full confederation of the more
cheerful view of the wheat crop previ-
ously noted. Some instances where
the situation was regarded hopeless
have developed favorably, SO that con-
| ditions now in q general way are far
more assuring than it was expected
some weeks ago could be reasbed at
this juncture.
| The wheat market have been held
under restrictive influences in various
WAYS, and have not developed an adj
vancing tendency of positive degree,
the highest position of the week, how,
ever, being at the close. The export
movement continues large, the stats
ticians confirm previous calculations
or enlarge them as to extent of prob.
able shortage of supplies for meeting
anticipated requirements for the sea
son-but such matters have little inf1u-
ence on market sentiment while There

From July to December 1.-THE ex-

being the year of largest exploration.
