prietors OF these leaf factories are men OF
means who spend a great deal OF money
IN Danvine from year TO year. and they
rive employment 10 men, women and
children I'm their factories. several thous-
ard OF factory hands thus being employ
ed.
AGAIN the fact that so much leaf to-
hacco Is brought to Danyille and sold in
the omen attracts 10 that place a number
OF tobacco buyers who represent tobacco
factories In Richmond and elsewhere
They also constitute an important ele-
ment In Danviies population.
once more, the fact that all sorts and
conditions Of leaf tobacco can be found
IN Danville at all seasons OF the year IS
necessarily a strong inducement to men TO
manufacture tobacco into plug TO locate
there, for where the raw material Is
there naturally the factory Is.
In short. the loose leaf business lies at
the foundation OF the tobacco trade. and
the tobacco men of Richmond would be
wise indeed II they would recognize that
fact. Richmond can have a loose market
equal to the Danville market If only the
Danyille way is adopted.

THE SEMINARY.

The opening Of the Union Theological
Seminary in this city yesterday was an
event Of great moment 20 the people Of
this community. The Seminary had for
many years been located in Prince Ed
ward county. and the splendid work that
it dld is attested by the numerous dis
tinguished Presbyterian diyines who have
been graduated from that institution.
But the time came when il was neces-
sary 10 remove the school 10 a more
accessible point 1t was a most serious
undertaking. So many sacred associa-
lions surrounded the old institution that
IL seemed like a sacrlege 10 take il away
from its birthplace and modernize il. But
sentiment gave way 10 common sense and
after a long struggle 1t was decided TO
make the change. Naturally, there was
brisk bidding among the cities Of Viz
gnia for the Theological Seminary, for
Il is a most desirable institution 10 any
community in every way. Its CONNER
eial value is not a thing to be ignored, but
far above this the moral and educational
influence of such a grand institution is
simply inestimable.
The friends Of the institution carefully
considered all the bids that were put In,
but It was a foregone conclusion from
the beginning that II removed at all the
removal should be TO Richmond, the capital
OF the state, the central and largest city

those places where it was strong IN 1870
OF course it is strong in those states

But will Organism, including free silver

States was not for either in 1926 IL
simplv acauiesced in what the South and
the silver States and part OF the west
imposed upon 1T. But the recent action
of the Democracy of New York, Connecu-
cut. New Jersey and Maryland fore
shadows that the sound Democracy OF the
countrv will not again allow itself to have
q revolutionary platform imposed upon
It. and we predict that in 1900 the Demo-
cratic platform viii neither declare Tor
free silver, nor for Altgeltism, nor LOT
Rrvanism in any form. We think the
nominations in New York make that
plain. Mckinley Is very probably going

Roosevelt and New York, by nominating
a sound money man for Governor has
served notice upon the Democratic party
that she will no longer be led by the nose
into support of doctrines that mean de-
s,ruction to every material interest that
she has. Predictions are foolish, since
Il is given 20 no man TO look into the
future But let no man be surprised II
the next nominees of the two parties are
Theodore Roosevelt for the Republicans
and Augustus Van Wyck for the Demo-
Gratis. Can the Democrats win in that
contest?
Judge Van Wyck is an honest upright
and able man that Will satisfy any ele-
ment of the country. lie is thorough
going Democrat from principle. he Is Tor
honest money and a dollar Of fun value
and ne can be trusted wherever he Is
placed to do the part of an upright man.
But will the native strength of Demec-
racy and judge Van Wyck's upright
character be sufficient 10 elect him Pre-
sident OF the United States? We most
earnestly hope so, hut we fear the result.
The Democratic party has been tied SO
fast 10 revolutionary ideas for the past
few years-ever since 1t broke with Mr..
Cleveland. indeed-that 1t IS now thor
eughly diseredited, and we fear it cannot

paNvILLEs TOBACCO TRADE.

The Danyllle loose tobacco market has
made new record. For the fiscal year
ended october !. 1898. there was sold in
the Danyilie warehouses 4s,f5i. al pounds
of tobacco at an average price OF S7.A

100000 pounds over the previous fiscal
year, and also gain OF about $50 per

This tobacco brought on the open
