INTERESTING CONDOLENCES.

In looking over our Virginia exchanges
we note the following interesting coin
cidcnccs. The Pitsylyania Tribune says:
Wheat is now selling at 60 cents. This
time last year It brought SO cents. The
sold reserve now is double what IL was
two years ago. This IS soldbug pros
perity. How do you like f.?
And the Salem Times-Register says
December wheat IS GO cents. This time
last year II brought so cents. This week
the gold reserve Is double what u was
one year ago. The lesson is apparent TO
the farmer.
The Weekly Sentinel says;
How can prosperity be possible with
ore-thlrd of all our money locked up In
Tho Treasury? Scarce money makes low
prices for all wealth, except Interest
rents mortgages and that kind Of wealth
owned by bondholders and money
changers.

Judge John T. Hodge. Of Covington,
KY. recently punished a reporter In a
novel way. The reporter had criticized
the Judge. and the Judge compelled the
news gatherer to sit with him on the

SUNDAY. OCTOBER ls, 1895
a NEW ERA.

The staunton News thinks that the IN
augura,ion OF the ship-building Industry
IN Richmond IS an event OF great moment
and consequence. II says that the reach-
,nr out of the United states TO the ISL
ands Of the sea is going to give an I'M
mcnse impetus TO shipping interests ana
incidentally to ship-buiiding. and thinks
II n happy conception to start a ship
building plant NJ once In The South tha'
this section may reap some OF the I'd
vantages Of the new conditions Inc
News IS also ~ opinion that II the people
Of virginia are capable Of selling the
fou onoortunitv now offered a number OF
collateral and related enterprises will be
started to follow this one and that the
beneficial results win be far-reaching.
our stnrnton contemporary has caught
the fever OF Imperialism and believes In
making the most Of cur conqucsts. We
shall not turn aside 10 discuss that ques-
ton IN this connection. but whatever
bearing It may have there Is no sort OF
doubt. as we tried to show in recent
article that the United States within the
next several years is to make gigantic
strides in shipbuilding.
Whether we annex the Philippines or
not nothing is clearer than that we must
now look beyond our own limits for mar
kets for our surplus products The home
market idea is thing Of the past as
r-o,ectIonists themselves admit. Our
carrying trade Is growing at on enormous
rate and Americans are no longer con-
tent that this trade shall be carried on
IN foreign bottoms. The war has at
least demonstrated the fact that We can
build ships and that we can manage them
rs well as any nation on the face OF the
earth. we have the materials. we have
he mechanics. we have the ability in
every way TO build ships. and this oppor-
tunity. which has been so long neglected.
Will now be improved
Some people have seemed 10 think that
II was bit audacious for Richmond 10
talk about establishing a ship yard, and
Il may be that the government was can
t.vated with our daring. But whatever
tho cause the fact is that the authorities
f. washington we're so wei satisfied that
the ship-bullding industry here was en-
tirelv practicable that they awarded sew
eral contracts 20 Mr.. Trigg and his as
soc,ates and the initial work has already
begun.
We arc going 10 demonstrate the tact
that we can build ships in Richmond ana
afte- we have built these vessels OF

how dinlcult it IL to get men to square
their actions with them when thoir own

A Tow days back some miners struck
in Illinois. The owners OF tho mines
brought some negroes from an adjoining
state TO work the mines I'm the places OF
those who had refused TO work The first
set OF miners had a perfect right to refuse
20 work on the terms offered them-it was
thai liberty OF which Senator Hoar
speaks-but the owners Of the mines had
the same right to bring other miners
there 10 work IN their places-this was
their liberty.
But the Governor OF Illinois, the man
placed in office to execute the laws Of ILL
nois and TO see through the execution OF
those laws that every man has served to

Illinois made upon the South in Cts TO
