DECISION POSTPONED.

The Bristol iron furnace which was
sold on December |, in accordance with
a decree of court, and which property
was bought by the Home Iron Company,
has caused more or less speculative COM
ment every day since, regarding tile final
disposition in the courts. The argument
for confirming the sale to the Home Iron
Company was heard before Judge Cas-
sell, of the Radford. Va, hustings court
Wednesday and Thursday. Distinguish
ed counsel represented the two sides and
IL hot contest has been engaged IN At
ter hearing the argument jude Cassell
announced he would withhold the leci-
sion until January II. The argument
in favor of the confirmation was ably ex-
hausted by Judge w. +. Rhea, III. Ii.
Peters and Col. CEas. r. Vance. Those
speaking for the acceptors were Mr.
Watson, of Roanoke, J. Il. Bullitt and
Col. A. Fulkcrson.
The furnace has u capacity of $50 tons
per day, and is ESTIMATED to he worth,
when built about 100000. The prop.
erty has been idle nearly five years and
is badly damaged, and the News is in
formed that the plant cannot be operated
without loss, owing to the very low
price of iron. etc. The bid of 500, coo by
the Home Iron Company, is considered
IL good one. bristol News.

LOCAL PATRIOTISM.

1t was Caesars opinion that the first
rank i'll Il small village was to he pre-.
fcrred to the second one in big city.
But since Caesars time new ideas and
new feelings have prevailed, and the gen.
eral tendency of the age lies toward city
life and city prominence. Very few are
the men who remain in their native place
and content themselves with improving
things around them aud doing good to
their neighhor. If it had always been SO.
England would not be England-that is.
the British Empire would have less solid
foundations and no center Local patri-
otisin has been its corner stone What.
then, is local patriotism?
y man is bound to love ann serve his
country; 1T is not considered II duty for
him to love and serve the smaller com.
munity where he was born or educated.
The former feeling is pressed upon him:
the latter grows up freely. Patriotism
is moral tie; local patriotism Il more ma
terial one. The one is hereditary ana
general, the other is exceptional and de
ponds on circumstances. You can love
your country without even knowing it:
you don't love town or Il village unless
you have spent within its..walls or fences
the greater or most important part of
your life. This is sufficient to explain
why local patriotism decreases in proper
zion as patriotism grows strong. The
modern nation has cclipsed and overpow-
cred the antique city. The Anglo. Saxon
race alone has succeeded in Keeping up
the two feelings, and in strengthening
the one through the other. Local patriot
ism is not uncommon in Continental Eu-
rope, but there it remains platonic or be-
comes selfish. 1t manifests itself hv
words, not by acts; vcrba non acta; ana if
money is given or bequeathed for the pur-
pose OF erecting public building or
founding museum or an hospital or il
library, the motive will seldom prove n
purely civic one. Vanity or IL sense of
broader pE ilanthropy will urge the bene-
factor, not simple, modest, and noble
desire TO beautify Il spot dearer to HIM
than any other i'll the world, or to improve
the conditions of community of which
he still feels himself II member.
This is the way DR.. w +. Brookcs
did love Wenlock and the Wenlock peo-
pie He did not care for immortality and
was practical philunthropist. He be-
iieved i'll every man taking care of those
near to him and leaving others to do the
same. If progress can he reached by IL
shorter road there exists no safer one

Rev. DR.. n. J. Diaz the Cuban mis-.

Diaz further agrees to take any agent APP

Mr.. James Creelman, correspondent of
the New York Journal, writing from
Madrid, boldly accuses the administration
of being in Il secret deal with the Spanish
government to crush the insurgents, and
further claims to be able, when required,
to produce proofs of the accusation. The
whole country knows the nutocratic ten
denotes of President Cleveland; but not
withstanding his evident lack of sympa-
people are not yet prepared to believe
that he would use the immense powers of
the government to aid Spain in suppress
ing the rebellion. However we shall await
developments with interest.

And now Virginia boy, Arthur 3.
Jack, of iiarrisonburg, comes forward
with the assertion that Aiaceo is certainly
dead, and that he saw his mnngled re-
mains after the Cuban general had been
hacked TO pieces by the machettes of the
Spanish soldiers. The young mans story
as printed in the Richmond Dispatch,
tallies fully with the reports of NIaceo's
death first sent out from Havana and
is doubtless Il correct version of the end
of the great mulatto leader.

The Government is displaying unusual
activity in the efforts to prevent filibus-
