Educational Conference Encouraged.

The Educational Conference in
Roanoke was probably the largest
and most enthusiastic meeting of
educators ever held in Virginia,
and the session was most interest
ing and instructive throughout.
Splendid addresses were made
by Governor Swanson, President
Alderman of the University of
Virginia, DR.. Barringer of Blacks
burg, and others.
From the reports made to the
conferences, school conditions have
greatly improved in Virginia. and
we may look for still greater i'm
provements in the Publice School
System of the State in the future.
The address of Trustee G.. NJ.
Lunsford, on the subject of The
Trustees Part in Raising Local
Taxes. was one of the strongest
arguments in favor of liberal school
appropriations, expended under
generous vet ca<eful administra-
ton, ever delivered in the State,
and made profound impression
upon all who heard it.,
Mr.. NJ. L.. p. Reed. of Boyce,
WAS appointed on the important
Legislative Committee. which will
formulate and have charge of the
Legislation TO be asked for at the
coming session of the General
Assembly i'm behalf of the public
schools of the State. Mr.. Reed
will give out for publications from
time To time, the text of legialation
which is proposed for the benefit
of the public schools.
Principal &. NJ. Farmer and
Assistant Principal Miss Nellie
Henson. of the BerryviIle High
School, were among those who at
tended from Clarke county, and
returned home enthusiastic over
the steps being taken to bring the
public schools of Virginia up to the
high standard which they should
long ago have been given.
On account of opposition in Ger,
tain quarters, the public schools oi
the State have long been kept
down, but the people have at last
asserted their independence, and
the lawmakers of the State now
realize that their political life de,
pends upon their generosity to the
public schools.

Public Advertising and Local Trade

Judging from the leading .di-
torial in'the Fredericksburg Free
Lance of Saturday, some person
or pcrsens have evidently been
glngerly treading on Its toes. by
criticising the Lance in publish
ing the advertisement of the Bus
mess Mems Association of Wash
ington. and charging discrimina-
tion in favor of that city. The
Lance Indignantly denies the ac-
cusation. As far as the adver-
tising is concerned, it strikes Us as
nothing less than bowling absurd
ity for any protest to l,c raised.
A. a public enterprise and con-
venience. a newspaper is under
moral obligation to public usage,
whether local or general, and
legitimately it is. we should think.
very nearly parallsl case with
that of a grist mill. which cannot
discriminate for whom il Shall
grind. when publicly operated.
There are few newspapers. especi-
ally those in the country and small
Ter towns, which would be enabled
to run with any profit whatever,
if entirely dependent on local pat
ronuge. and advertising will be ac-
cepted as advertising, by any ne VS.
paper, at its specified rates, whether
it comes from local sources, or from
the remotest isles of ftbe sea. Bus
iness is business, and when con-
Quoted on business principles. there
should be no kick a-coming. 1t is
right, it is commendable to pat
ronize and help build up every
local enterprise that iswurthy, but
it is not right to exclude others
from fair competition through pub
lie and legitimate channels.-Tide-

Our attention has been called to
the fact that ninety days provide

Mr.. Strudwick will remain here

less the Hotel owners secure
another manager before that
time, in which case he will give
immediate possession. He has un-
der consideration a number of at
tractive propositions from other
hotel owners, but has not definitely
decided which proposition he will
accept. 1t was rumored here that
he would go to either Charles

$25.OO Reward

As forecasted in the COURIER
last week, the best citizens of Ber-
ryville are determined to see that
the Local Option law has a fair
trial in this Town, and the Law
and Order League this morning
authorized the COURIER to insert
the following notice of reward:
"S25.O0 REWARD will be paid
for information leading to the con-
viction of any party guilty of
violation of the Local Option Law. +"
Many people seem to have an
idea that the lax enforcement of
the law which was so pronounced
under the Local Option period
about twenty years ago will be re-
peated during the present term.
but the firm stand taken by the
best citizens of the Town demon
strates cOnclusively that no such
lax methods will be tolerated.
While it is the duty of the officers
of the Town and District tn see
that the law is enforced, the matter
of obtaining evidence in localoption
cases Is rather difficult, and for that
reason, and the desire to see the
law given a fair trial in this COM
munity, the above reward is offerd

nr. Bryan No Wrscksr.

Now that Mr.. Bryan has resumed
the leadership of the democratic
party those persons WHOSE hostility
.isimplacable are renewing the torn
of party wrecker.' Whatever
Mr.. Bryan may be answerabIe for,
he did not wreck the democratic
party. He found it "a wreck at
Chicago in 1896, and he made it in
the campaign that followed puis-
SAINT organization. What other
man whose name was mentioned
for leadership at that convention
could have polled six millions and n
half Of votes2 Richard p. Blandl
Horace Boiesl They were among
the mediocritics the convention
toyed with until the orator of the
Platte took the stage and wrought
his spell.
Nothing is palmer at this day
than that the triumph of 1892 car
fird the seeds of death in its bosom.
The winning combination was made
M of democrats and popuiists, sill
verites and gold bugs, free traders
and protectionists, with a dash of
republicans disgruntled through
failure To secure Office from Gen.
Harrison. Dissolution set in al
most as soon as the election was
over. Nobody was satisfied; every
body was complaining. First came
the test on the money question,
and that sent the silverites and
populists flying. Then came the
test ON the tariff and that arrayed
the German democrats against the
Cleveland democrats. Concert OF
action was not possible on any
question. MIR. Bryan has charac-
terizedo the situation as a bunco
game. and il must confessed it was
very like that.
To add tn the difficulty. Mr..
CIeveland's temper never of the
sweetest, became very sour. and
many leaders of the party avoided
him. Some of the most prominent
democrats in Congress not only
ceased to visit the White House,
but refused to resume calling there
when asked to do so. They had
had enough. and recognizing that
smash had come, held Mr.. Cleve-
land and his eastern advisers re-
sponsible.
Such was Tie condition of affairs
when the party met at Chicago in
1896 to make its nomination.
There had been some talk of q third
term for Mr.. Cleveland. but the
proposition was preposterous,
Equally futile, too, would have
been an effort to nominate any one
of his recognized lieutenants..
That wing of the party was despised
by the dominant wing, and an anti
Cleveland nominee and ar anti
Cleveland platform were in the
nature of things.
Out of the wreck Mr.. Bryan
rose, young, audaeious, brilliant
and aggressive. He could not win,
for the party's forces had been
scattered. He could not make a
spoon, because the horn had been
spoilt before he got hold of it
