Good Thing. Push Il Along.

\ corps of engineers are making pre-
liminary survey of the proposed route OF
the Fredericksburg and RappahannOck
Electric Railway. They have covered
nearly half the distance between Culpepcr
and fredericksburg; starting at Culpeprr.
they are now about Germania bridge.
Everything looks favorable to the
erection of this road This means much
for Culpeper. With a direct outlet to
deep water, we will have the key to cheap
freight rates. Cheap freight rates is what
ATTRACTS manufacturers. With the ship
ping facilities this road will give us, Gull
pepper in the near future should become a
manufacturing town.
Those who have charge OF this under
taking are our best business men-men
in whose integrity and ability the peo-
pie have the utmost confidence.
Aid them, and the road will be an es-
tablished fact.-Culpeper Enterprise.

The great steel strike, it seems, is
not to be- the contamination of our
labor troubles, fOrnOw the coal work
ers threaten to revolt. alleging that
the mine operators have been false
to their agreement entered into last
spring. twill be recalled that around
these people centered the labor agita-
ton of last year; and that an agree
ment was reached Just prior to the
Presidential election through Senator
Hanna. mediator. The strikers re-
quests were complied with-or that
is. agreement was made to conform
to their demands until April last, at
which time further negotiations were
entered into, not quite SO favorable
to the miners. 1t is this agreement
which President Mitchell says has not
been kept in good faith by the opera
tors. and it is their incessant infrac-
tiOns that now cloud the atmosphere.
The most prominent feature of this
is the fact that capital submitted. but
only under political pressure. TWAS
claimed by the Democrats that the
compliance would be onlyvagarious,
that after the political effect was no
longer needed the operators would
sever the leashes fastened upon them
not by labor, but by thepoliticians.
From President Mitchells statement
it would seem that the miners are
being buffeted by the operators to
suit their every whim The laborer
won a merited victory last fall; the
next Presidential election is three
years off and this greatest instrument
of his protection is not now ut hand.
He must suffer pressure until no
longer able to bear it, and then fight
"a losing battle to the end.

Col. ]. Hampton Hoge, Republican
candidate for governor, opened his cam
paign in Roanoke Saturday night before
a large audience of whites and a number
of negroes. Several ladies were in
the audience, something never seen before
in a Republican meeting in Roanoke.
Resolutions of sympathy were passedfo
President Mckinley. Col. HOge received
an ovation, the crowd being quite en-
thusiastic. He was in no wayEabusive,
but, he used Montague speeches against
the machine in which he declared that
fraud existed in Virginia politics, and
Col. HOge claime1 that Mr.. Montague, as
the Attorney General of the State, should
have decried it and have used his Of
fee to have suppressed the fraud he him
self charged. He spoke bitterly of the in
ability of the Constitutional Convention
to accomplish anything, and glowingly
of the Republican platform.

THE PLATFORMS.

Referring to the two platforms OF
the political parties in Virginia an
exchange observes:
But platforms are like peoples spread
You see the flower, the fruit is dead
Or like the snowfall in the river,
4 moment bright-then gone forever;
Unlike the Borealis race,
1t lasts--till candidates get their place.
Pretty good, but the old political
stager who remarked that, after the
manner of railroads, platforms are
not made to stand on, was not the
slOwest prophet on the heath.

Governor Tyler kept forlorn hope
from being soneofthe
ethics, if not practices of politics that
the man who has the courage to lead
forlorn hope for the party becomes
the logical candidate when success
visits the fold.
For this reason, which is onlya Just
one, we do not see how the present
ascendant Democrats can shove the
Governor aside. If there is to be Il
Senatorial candidate against the old
regime logically the position belongs
TO Governor Tyler.
