POLITICS AND BUSINESS.

We are sorry to see that some of our
Virginia contemporaries have already be-
gun to decry prosperity. In one OF them
we find an article in which we are told
that the prosperity which has come TO the
country has simply made the rich richer
and that ii is really the prosperity of
trusts and not Of the people. II is charged
that under the gold standard prices have
advanced, although the hue and cry in
1895 was that under the gold standard
prices continue to fall: a long list is
printed showing how the prices of various
articles have been advanced by the trusts,
although everybody knows that there has
been an advance in prices all along the
line whether the articles are the products
of trusts or not.
1t is also asserted that the farmers of
the country, while they have been rails
ing larger and better crops, have been
compelled to take less for their products
in spite of the fact that wheat is from 10
TO 20 cents bushel higher now than it
was at this time in 1896, and in spite of
the fact that cotton is higher than it has
been for many years.
Another contemporary is disposed to
disparage the great export trade which
the country is doing. 1t intimates that
fictitious values of our exports have been
given by the Republicans for purpose
and says that in Mr.. Cleveland's second
administration our exports reached very
last fiscal year, but it does not explain
that the enormous increase Of late years
has been in manufactured articles rather
than in products of the soil.
But all these questions aside. It is a
fact which cannot be disputed that we
have had an era Of phenomenal prosperity
in this country during the past few
years and that no section of the country
has made a better exhibit than the South.
In the cotton industry, in the iron in
dustry. in various incidental industries,
the South has been making giant strides
and the Chattanooga Tradesman. recog-
nized authority. shows that during the past
Quarter 974 new industries were started up
an the South against 40 new industries
for the corresponding period last year.
Virginia also has been forging ahead
and the people of Virginia and the peo-
pie of all the southern States have been
advertising TO the world the wonderful
growth and the wonderful advantages
of this section and inviting capitalists
from the outside to come in and invest.
In the name OF common sense, therefore,
how can Virginia newspapers which have
the good of the State at heart gain their
consent to start up again the cry OF
calamity? There is no occasion for it,
there is no sense in it. In all human
probability Virginia is going to cast its
electoral vote for the Kansas City nomi-
nee, whoever he may be, and calamity
bowling is not indeed to accomplish that
result 1t is all right to arraign the Re
publican party for its shortcomings.
which are many: it is all right TO ex-
plot the great and good principles and
policies OF the Democratic party and TO
show the necessity for change in the
administration, but all this can be done

FLIGHT OF A PRIVATE SECRETARY
Terror Inspired by the Simple Threat

Ordinarily the Office Of private secre-
tary to United States senator does not
bring with it any exciting adventures or
thrilling hairbreadth escapes said an old
newspaper man who had such a job, but
there was an exception in my case right
at the beginning OF my senatorial career
ana 1 had such a fright that I wanted to
Quit right then and there. IL happened at
the Senator's house one morning while
he was at breakfast. He lived in a large
house with a big lobby or hall. and every
morning most of the available space in
it was occupied by all kinds OF people
wanting senatorial assistance OF one kind
or another.
'.On this particular morning there must
have been fifty people of both sexes sit
ting around waiting, when a very hand
some young woman, beautifully dressed,
came in and asked to see the Senator.
1t was my business TO be out in the lobby
looking after applicants, and noticing that
she was not OF the common run of call
ers, l politely escorted her to small al
cove down the hall where she would be
out of the crowd She told me she want

not see him that morning there, but she
might see him during the day a the Cap

referred TO me in any event she might as
well state ii TO me there and l would at

views expressed b. various correspondents
are summed up as follows:
The month OF June has been marked
by distinct deterioration. and in some
sections the outlook is desperate.
In consequence of the excessive rainfall
over large areas of the belt much land
has beer abandoned ana much of the Origi-
nal increase in acreage has thus been
lost Labor is scarce and dear and the
effect of this condition is severely felt in
sections which are afflicted with grass
and weeds.

disaster.
