Prosperity at Last.

We are now in the midst of prospect
ty. The tariff bill has passed. tie
country has been taxed to the utmost
limit, and nothing remains to make
the people joyous and happy. Back
IN ln.eIy ages taxation was burden
some. A celebrated emperor OF Rome
when bill depressing the people
was presented to him for his signature
is reported to have exclaimed, "Oh
that could not write' But in this
instance our chief magistrate has long
had his pen dipped and ready, never
seeming to recognize that he might
some day voice the same sentiment
Certainly no other excuse can now be
given should confidence fail to appear.
But in order to create confidence are
the people to have confidence? If SO,
the day break is not yet upon the hill
tops. In order to have prosperity are
we to imagine ourselves prosperous
If so, we might as we'll have begun a
year ago. But If we cannot have con
fidence and cannot imagine ourselves
prosperous with the sheriff on the
block crying off our goods and lands
to our creditors, what is to change our
woes to joys, our weeping and sorrows
into happiness? Is it the Tariff bill
which has just passed? Is this the
measure which is to cause the poverty
stricken, starving people of this land
to shout for joy2 1t may be. From
this triumph of taxation milk and
honey may flow, but we don't believe
it. So as another Roman emperor is
said to have told the populace when
they came to praise him, "Wait till 1
deserve this praise and then give it,"
we will wait till the bill brings us the
promised prosperity and then we will
give it all the praise it deserves.

Our Primaries.

The result of the Democratic prima-
ries in the city and county was just
what was predicted by those who had
paid close attention to the signs of the
times, and could properly estimate the
feeling of the people in the matter.
Maj. Tyler had things much his own
way and whilst there was good deal
of skillful political work done for Mr..
Ellyson as the day of the election ap-
preached still there was no stemming
the strong tide that had long since set
in for Maj. Tyler. Our next care is to
see if Augusta cannot secure the sec
ond prize in the way of Lieutenant
Governor, and the friends of Mr..
Echols have now an opportunity to do
him kind turn in drawing to his sup
port all the forces necessary to tri-
umphant victory. No matter which of
the aspirants for Attorney General
succeed, with Tyler and Echols the
ticket will be strong one, and the
Democrats can go out to battle with a
confidence of success seldom equaled
by the party in any previous cam
paign.

We Do ALI KINDS OF JOB PRINTING,
GIVE US A TRIAL,
Towed in Air by Eagles.

Caribu, Me-, July 25.-One OF the
most remarkable stories of escapes
from death, and as exciting a tale of
adventure MS has been heard for many
years, is related by Peter PinpIere, q
young farmer and hunter Of the region
just over the st. John River, in Cana
da, who has just arrived here. He tells
of covering distance OF thirty miles
in an hour. and this is how he did it.
Friday afternoon Pinplere left home
at the head of a party of young farm
ers for days hunt, an eagles nest on
the top OF Wally mountain, eight miles
away. being the objective point of the
expedition. The two parent birds
were captured after a hard struggle
and securely tied, claw to claw. The
rope holding the birds was passed to
Peter who carried them out to the
level edge of the towering rock and sat
down on the cord to hold the birds
STILL
Suddenly the eagles cresmed and
spread their wings and started off with
Pinplere clinging to the rope. For
thirty miles they carried him, when
the young farmers hands gave out and
he dropped to the ground. Pinplere
was uhhurt, but badly shaken up.

A singular case has just been tried
in Norfolk. Nothing like it has ever
been known in the criminal annals of
the State. Joe Cannon had wife of
whom he wished to be rid, and to
whom he had been married only about
one month He conspired with two
men, E. G. Hall and VIM. Smith. to
bring about her ruin so that he, Can
non, might obtain q divorce. The
parties were indicted, convicted and
sentenced to pay fine of $500 each
and six months in jail. the full penalty
of the law. There was much indigna-
ton against them. They have appeal
ed the case and the decision of the Su-
preme Court will be looked fof with
much eagerness and interest.

The e. & O. Hospitals.

An article taken from the Clifton
Forge Review was published recently
in our paper touching the establish
ment by the G. s. o of hospitals along
it's line for it's sick or injured men.
It might seem out of place to call the
attention of the G. & 0. to Staunton as
a suitable point for a building, because
as we are informed and believe the G.
& 0. does not regard Staunton as on
it's line for any purpose other than to
gather about 100000 yearly from pas
senger travel, to say'nothing offreights.
When gathering in time for money
takes place, then we are told it dawns
on the G. & o. that place called
Staunton situate somewhere (for more
certainty refer to the map):is expected
to contribute a particular sum. Be-
yond this they know little and care
less, SO the Staunton people think and
believe. As reason for their belief they
have many evidences in the way of the
running Of trains which are strong ar
guments. The freight rates also on
account of which, no ordinary argu-
ment could convince them otherwise,
and the fact that almost every thing
except the station and the track have
been torn up and carried away from
here, tend to show that Staunton and
Staunton people are welcome to what
they get from the company, but that
the company does in no sense seek to
place them under very heavy obliga-
tions. The people Of the State located
about the time or a little before the
days of railroads their State Hospital
for the insane here, also their State In
stitution for the Deaf and Dumb, be
cause Of the advantages of climate,
and peculiar healthful conditions OF
the country.
Our female schools have flourished
on account of these conditions beyond
any in the State elsewhere, and il
might be possible that one of the hospi
tails Of the G. & o. would find these good
conditions surrounding it, if located at
this point. But If the G. & o. expect
the towns seeking to have those santa
RUINS located within their borders to
contribute ground, buildings, medical
attention, nursing, food raiment, and
thanks, we doubt if Staunton will be
bidder, though in looking up local
ity in which to build a hospital and
maintain it in satisfactory manner
we hope the G. & o. will not consider
us as impudent if we suggest this un-
known city to them. as a point al
which if one of their hospitals were
located, they would exhibit as much
good sense, if not a bit more than in
any single act of their administration

The Expansion Of Our Foreign Trade.

II there is one fact more than anoth-
er that is made evident by the events
of the past few years of industrial de.
preston, it is that a large extension of
our foreign trade is necessity if we
are to have return of our old time
prosperity. In spite of the rapidity
with which the country has grown In
population and wealth. and the ever
lengthenjng list of what the average
citizen considers TO be for him the ne
cessities and conveniences of daily life,
the increase in our manufactured pro
ducts is SO rapid that there is always
surplus on hand. The national instinct
it is nothing less-for chaapening the
cost of labor, aud the ingenuity which
has enabled US to lead the world in the
production OF labor saving machinery,
have enabled us to turn out our manu-
featured products with a speed and at
a price which our old world competi-
tors frankly admit to be entirely be-
yond their capacity.
The country has reached !. point at
which it has to choose between two
alternatives: it must either curtail its
production or find new markets in for
eign countries. They day has passed
when American can boast, or wishes

pLD WOMAN TORTURED News
comes from Smithfeld, Wetzel county,
W. Va, OF a terrible outrage perpe-
trated upon Mrs. Martha Shreves, aged
sixty, by six masked burglars, which
will! result in her death. Mrs. Shreves
had lived alone since the death Of her
husband two years ago, and has kept
all Of the SO 900 which he left der, in
the house, being afraid of banks.
Thursday night six masked men en-
tered the house about eleven O'Clock
and demanded her money. Mrs.
Shreves sdenied having any, but they
tied her up to the tog of a door by the
thumbs, and tortured her by striking
pins into her flesh till she told where
the treasure was. They got S.. 500, but
missed 5000, although they searched
the house high and low, tearing up
carpets and destroying the furniture.
They departed, leaving the old woman
tied up and she was not discovered I'M
til nearly morning by man who was
passing, and who noticed the light in
the house. She was unconscious, and
is at the point of death from the ner-
vous stock. She could give no descrip-
ton that would serve as q clue.
