AFTER THE SPECTATOR.

Some State papers, corporation man.
aged affairs, have seen fit to take the
SPECTATOR to task because it was not
supremely happy over the results at
st. Louis. They reprOach us with the
crime of giving food to the Republi
cans. There are some persons or
things which can talk to us without
offending. They are usually those
who are unworthy of notice, or those
whose friendly relations give them
license, but when tannts from the
''holler than thou" kind, reach us
they do exasperate little. Many who
are 80 much worried and alarmed lest
we give aid and comfort to the enemy
have not supported the Democratic
party in the last two campaigns, in
fact did everything their president and
directors desired toward bringing
about Republican victory. These
things are printing criticisms of the
SPECTATOR. Corporation clatter sell
dom affects the SPECTATOR, we know
what inspires virtue in those quarters.
We know that editorials are dished
out by the yard, just to order. as a
machine of any other kind produces a
fabric. We find the machines known
as newspapers in Virginia, largely ad-
vocating Judge Parker's election. We
find some of them making very many
revolutions to the minute in the good
cause, but it would be altogether easy
for any one of them to be put into the
manufacture of Republican goods, Just
as was done in 1896. Corporations,
whether they be newspaper corpora
tions or any other kind, are out for
Doodle, and the highest bidder can
procure their services, and that will
include everything from the Office boy
up. When such as these take the
SPECTATOR TO task, which has never
bolted the party and which expresses
the individual convictions and senti-
ments of it's editor, the editor does
grow weary, but as such he does not
become offended, because they do this
out of no personal malice he thinks,
but simply because they have to.

Michigan Offers Inducements to our
Farmers.

The SPECTATOR received pleasant
call Oh Monday from Samuel S. Thorpe
of Cadillac, Michigan, district agent of
the Michigan Land Association at that
point. Mr.. Thorpe was accompanied
by Mr.. G. b. Davis of Waynes bore,
Well and favorably known throughout
the county. Mr.. Davis represents Mr.
Thorpe in this territory. A series of
lectures is being given III this and adj
joining counties by Mr. Thorpe, on
1.-The possibilities and advantages Of
farming in Northern Michigan His
manner is sincere and convincing, ard
the fact that he has already sold land
TO some of our thrifty and enterpris
ing farmers w no have been ou5 TO

spectcd fer themselves the soil, ma :
kets, climate, and other conditions,
shows that he has neither misrepre-
sAnted nor exaggerated any features
of his country.

interested in hearing about Michigan
wheat, peach and potato crops From
Staunton, accompanied by Mr.. Davis,
the route will include the following
points-Greenville, Alton, Greenwood
and Roanoke. According to the state
ments OF the gentleman, the high aver
agss of root, grass, grain and fruit
crops in Michigan, as shown by actual
statistics. are not so much due to any
phenomenal quality of the soil, as to
the fact that in his part of Michigan
total failures are unknown. The
splendid grass. W heat and fruit crops
are protected by heavy SHOWS from
early winter till late spring, and are
not frozen ont. Over a period Of IA
years, according to government Stats
tics, wheat has averaged 49, bushels
to the acre, and potatoes 200 bushels
to the acre, at soc per bushel. Blue
grass, buffalo grass and white clover
are characteristic and grow wild
everywhere. Tame hay averages two
tons to the acre, and the price has
never been less than $40 per ton, the
past year SIG per ton.
Mr. Davis informs us that several
parties from this locality are to accom-
pany him to Michigan on Aug. 18Th.
A low fare has been arranged, and a
good chance to see the country will be
given.

Bryan Wants Parker to Win,

Mr.. bryan has said: 1.-THE election of
Judge Parker, instead of interfering
with reforms, will open the way for a
successful fight by Kidding the country
of Imperialism. by removing the race
issue and by substituting the spirit of
peaceful progress for the military a.nd
warlike spirit engendered by the ac-
lions and utterances of President
Roosevelt. MY statement is intended
to encourage the reform element in the
Democratic party by showing that the
fight, instead of being over, has in
reality just begun"

LIGHT FROM A NEW SOURCE.

No newspaper in the State of Viz

party regularity. no newspaper has
been more severe iii It's remuneration
of those Democrats who in 1896 refu

Staunton Spectator. Ii is most re-
markable, therefore. that this paper,
of all others, should now be training
it's guns upon the man who was nomi-
mated for the presidency by the Ma
tional Democratic convention, and
whose nomination was made unani-
nous, Mr.. William J. Bryan himself
acquiescing. tits also remarkable that
our Staunton contemporary should be

that time, if it served ammunition at
all it was always served to Republicans,
What it served, however, was gener'
ally wet powder, hardly worth the
name of ammunition, but still it did
the best it could for the corporation to
which it belonged. 1t ought to be nc
crime in the eyes of the Times Dispatch
to do the very thing it did and its Joss

were not crimes how can those of tie

GREAT RAILROADER.
Asa railroad man he has been phe-
nominally successful. being endowed
with that foresight which looks ahead
and grasps the opportunities of the fn-
ture. His great scheme was the build
ing of the w. Va. Cen. and p. r. R. from
Cumberland to Elkins, a distance Of
1I3 miles through the Businesses of the
Alleghanies. developing a territory rich
in coal and magnificent timber In
this enterprise he associated with him,
besides Senator EIklns, some Of the
most distinguished and successful men
in finance and of both political parties.
The names of many OF these men,
some of whom have gone to their rest,
are perpatnated i'm the stations along
this road, such as blaine. German,
Window, Harrison, Bayard, kerens,
Thomas, etc.
The next railroad feat was the con
a
connecting the West Va. Central with
the G. & 0, and joining the state Of
West Va with the Old Dominion. This
road only AZ miles III length, was built
under many difficulties Of engineering,
along the treacherous Cheat River
country, long ago made famous by the
pictorial sketches of Porte Crayon, in
Harper's Weekly, and built at II cost
of abOnt s., 900 600.
This road and the West Va. Central
were sold to the Wabash system about
year ago and then, at the age oil ~
years, Senator Davis began what will
be the achievement of his life, the con-
struction of the Coal and Coke road,
which Is to connect Elkins with
Charleston, w. Va. running across
the state and bringing the middle
counties and the Eastern Pan Handle
into close connection with the capito
of the state.

A LITTLE CHILLY IN THE G. O. p.

We are somewhat made light of by
tue Republicans because there seems to
be lack of enthusiasm in our party

little surprised at this coming from

it wise On their part to call attention
to the very thing which is plagueing
them so bitterly. Never was candi-

In the case of Mr.. Roosevelt. Never
has shout been heard for him, never,

much as kind word been said for

received. The Republicans had him
on their hands when the convention
met and they have him yet, but they
are likely to get rid of him in Novem
Der next, but this for them will be none
too soon. He is positively the heaviest
load party ever carried, and they
moan and groan under it as camel
