VOTING OUT WHISKEY

The temperance question is just now
the public mind to "A consid-
cradle extent in many sections. Last
week Clifton Forge and
Covington, in Allegheny county, voted
dry" and that county now becomes
dry the first time in many years. In
Bristol a local option election will
be held soon to determine the question
there, beginning the first of Nav.
whether liquor will continue to be sold
there, and the indications are that the
city will vote against the sale Of liquor.
BY reason ola new law recently en-
acted iii Tennessee, the few cities that
have until recently been exempt from
voting on the question, now have an
opportunity to dispense with the sale
of it, and will endeavor to vote il ont
quickly, and every city has ordered
an election for this purpose, and the
prospects are that most Of them will
vote dry. Bristol, Tennessee, votes
today on the question. If Bristol, Vir-
ginia goes dry then Pocahontas, in this
county will be the only place in the
Ninth District where liquors are sold,
and but few other places in the state
except cities. The day is not far off il
seems when it will not be sold any
place in Virginia, and the people in the
localities where now sold are taking
steps to vote it out the first opportu-
nifty. Pocahontas lacked only twelve
votes of voting dry at the last local
option election, and the temperance
people claim that in a straight issue
not compli ,ated, they can win.

THE REMOVAL OF HAMPDEN
SIDNEY COLLEGE.
II ADVANCE


There's trouble in Prince Edward.
There's blood on the moon. The sug-
gestiOn comes from certain appointment
Presbyterians," according to the
Times-Dispatch, that Hampden Sid
ney College be moved TO Richmond.
and merged into the University-of-
Richmond scheme. whereupon the
Farmville Herald jumps upon the
Times Dispatch with both feet, and
endeavors to stamp the idea forever
out OF sight and mind. 1t is also stated
in the current issue OF the Herald, by
a correspondent, that 1.-the citizens of
Farmville were inclined to consider
and discuss removing the college" etc.
etc. So, it seems that the question of
the removal is in the air, and discuss
ed elsewhere than among prominent
Presbyterians" in Richmond.
This is not IA local question, and we
offer no apology for Quitting in to
say, tina; the removal OF Hampden-
Sidney is only matter of time. Ii

of colleges and seminaIies will be de-
termined hereafter by the question.
evil the location benefit the school,"
and not, "shall the school be built with
II view TO benefitting locality ," Right
or wrong, this is the prevailing senti-
ment and motive now. The chief obiec-
ton TO the removal SO far as noticed.
concerns "historlc traditions" "revered
memories, 1.-THE wisdom of the fathers"
etc, and the great harm that would
come to Prince Edward by the re-
moval, all of which may be true and
well enough. But how about the effect
OF removal on the college itself?
AS to the vices and temptations of
the city, etc, this don't count now. un-
less children are sent to college. With
young men, whose characters are
formed it makes little difference. AS
to that, if reports be true, there is
ample opportunity for indulgence in
"vice," "intemperance" etc. offered
contiguous to the present location.
The meanest and most shameful
suggestion connected with the oues-
ton of removal is, that the present
buildings be used for the establish
ment OF a great industrial school for
negro boys, and seminary for negro
preachers. This is the last straw.
Now, to an outsider. the question oc-
ours what would be the better course for
white people, living in the "black belt"
Where the negroes are largely in the
majority, to pursue, than to encourage
the building of a great school among
them for their betterment? II great
moral institutions for the uplifting of
the negro are not needed in the .blacl,
belt" where are they needed?
Whether or not Hampden-S Sidney
should remain where il is or be moved
is big question. That it should not
be moved is not clearly proven so far.
by the reasons given. However. we
take the risk to predict that the re-
moval OF the College is only question
o. time.

Mr.. Littauer made his motion, both Re-

Mr. Crumpacker, OF Indiana said he
was opposed to members of Congress vot-

would therefore vote against the amend
ment.
Mr. Burleson, of Texas, stated that he
had voted for the amendment when 1t
first came before the House. but would
vote against 1t in It's present form.
When the previous question was ordered
there was a resounding chorus of ayes

being Messrs. Bingham, Littauer and

An hour or more after the House had
adopted the provision for an Increase in

WASHINGTON, d. c., January 49,
1--WE are trying to accept the situation
with proper Christian resignation" said
Representative Henry y. Clayton, OF
Alabama, to-day, concerning the action
Of the House in putting into the legis-
lative appropriation bill the provision
that members and Senators should have
their pay OF $1,000 year Increased to
1880.
He illustrated by tho remark the atti-
tude OF nearly every member on the
Democratic side. Nearly every one Of
them voted as though he was opposed
to the Increase and, with but one or
two exceptions. every one desired to
have 1t made. Without reference to the
merits Of the question OF increasing the
salaries Of Representatives and Senator's,
1t Is believed the country generally will
agree that the increase wills not made In
mn entirely genteel manner. The House
knocked out OF tho bill q month ago an
amendment providing for the increase.
1t was an open secret that nearly
every member believed the increase
ehould be made. He admitted in many
cases that he did not vote for 1t because
1t would hurt him with his constituents.
And all who voted against 1t or for It
thought the Senate would restore to the
bill the item which the Houss was afraid
TO allow to stand.
No Cats Paw.
But the Senate did nothing Of the
kind. It not only refused to adopt the
item referring to Senators and mem
bers, but cut out other increases. The
matter was thus put UP to the House
again, with the result that that body,
seeing the plan to place the RESPONSE
biliey for the increase upon other Shout
Gers had failed. undertook TO do the
work itself. That 1t did It will hardly
provoke serious criticism. But the man.
ner in which the end was accomplished
Will. IL ig believed, be the subject of
much adverse comment.
And 1t may arouse general discus
sion among the constituents Of members
as to whether the majority of members
of Congress are worth more than $1,000
a year. Some are worth more TO the
country, but go many are worth much
less that the average may be found on
investigation, to be even below the $1,000
mark.
