BUSINESS DEPRESSION.

No more certain index to busine So
can he gathered than from what the
railroads are doing. The latest re-
ports are that there are $50. 900 idle cars
standing on the side tracks of the rail
roads. The railroads In may quarters
have so many idle locomotives they
cannot house them in their round
houses and shops, but have to board
them up and stand them out on their
side tracks. These they derisively
call TEDDY Bears in their determi-
nation to give TEDDY" the credit of
the panic.
Coming to our our railroad the G. &
o., we find every character of
work, even track work, stopped, we
find long sideings banked with idle
rustipg cars. We find empty trains,
and the double headers which so
often were necessary to pull the heavy
+. F. V. trains have been taken off and
sinPle engines pulling trains which on
entering one finds lonely and deserted.
This is a rich mans panic. He brought
it about, and no one is more RESPONSE
BILE than the railroads themselves. 1t
can be traced to the very day the late
railroad Napoleon, Andrew J. Cassatt,
President of the Pennsylvania Ry.
withdrew passes from the pockets OF
the law makers, and kicked out of his
Office his greatest and best friend the
Press.

Thus might some great and good
man-if not the once honored presi
dent of the G. & o Ry., who prophe-
sied In 1896. the glorious da wn of ever
lasting prosperity if only these under
him should do bis bidding and rise and
strike down the arch enemy-talk to

lunch wagons were attracting great at
tention In Chicago. Other cities have
their bread lines" and although fac
tories are resuming and there are indl
cations of an increased demand for la
Dor, there is sufficient of distress among
those out CT work to make the matter
one of national Importance.
But through it all the farmer-the
great American farmers serene. He
is calmly resting in an atmosphere of
plenty. The harvest has been abund-
ant and the smoke-house, the granary,
the corn CRIB and the hay NOW are all
bursting with the products of the soil.
There is no cry from Kansas that corn
Is being burned for fuel, although the
crop was imp, ecedented last year.
There is no wall from the agricuIturist.
He comes into town now and then in
his automobile makes bis lavish pur.
chsses at the general store and speeds
back to the comfortable fireside and
contemplation of the good things of
life.
All Of which leads up to the obserya
tion that, after all, the boys who have
been leaving the farm for the factory
-tbe plow for the ribbon counter, have
not bettered themselves. The farmer
is the man of real Independence. He
has had his trout les in the past, and it
has taken strenuous legislation and
constant work to bring about condi.
lions under which he may enjoy pro-
per return for his labor and his pro.
1ucts. But he is rapidly coming into
ais own. Ana today be, as a class, is
he happlest of all classes ia this vast

A CRYING NE Ed.

Several recent fires in New York have
discrsdited the fire department in that
city. The recent fire in Staunton
which destroyed Mrs. W. R. Knowles
house on Reservoir hill has not dis
credited our men connected with the
fire department, but has discredited
the efficiency Of our preparation for
fires. There ought to be stand pipe
on top of Reservoir hill for the protec-
ton of the houses near there, where
the water pressure Is not adequate.
Then there ought to be an automobile
hose wagon with spiked wheels for
climbing icy bills in winter. Such a
machine would do away with horses
altogether If needs be. 1t might be
be well to keep on deposit some hose
ON the bill tops at two or three points
in stanton for emergency purposes.
They could be looked after by the fire
company and kept in good order.
When a fire started Oh any of these hill
tops the hose could be brought DOWN
instead of UP to the fire plugs.
But O stand pipe On Reservoir bill
q nd an automobile hose cart are two
th ings which should be arranged for
at once. They ale more important
than many others, viz: opera houses,
high priced officials, and some other
trills and furbelows now being enjoyed
Or being arranged for in this city.

1t is Said the AIdrIch Bill Cannot Pass.

Mr.. John Sharp Williams is author.
ity for the statement that the Aldrjch
currency bill cannot pass the House.
Representative Smith of Iowa, one of
the leading Repu bile ms who oppose
the bill. Say s that it cannot get through
the House. The republicans who op.
pose the bill and the democrats will
vote together against it.
Representative Williams says be is
opposed to the bill chiefly for the rea-
sons, first. that it proposed to make the
government guarantee bank note.
aud the government should not guar
antee any note it d ,es not issue: Sec.
ond. the tax on the emergency circula.
ton provided for by the Adrich bill is
not heavy enough to cause the retire
mont Of the notes when the emergency
has passed, and third, the provision
that circulation may be issued against
railway bonds, which are fuctuatlug
securities, meant a ating cur
rency.

placed IN The care OF one man with nm.
limited right to spend it whenever and
wherever be may see fit, without come
restrictions. Members of the Joint
subcommittee believe that if Congre g
will enact law governing to some ex-
tent the expenditures of the Public
Printer, such law would not only be
just to that officer, but would, also, be
just to Congress, and to the public who
are paying the bills.
The last political speech to be mad q
in the House this week. With tho H.
dian appropriation bill as the vehicle,
was by Representative Clayton of Ala
bama. AS has been the case with every
Democrat who has spoken, Mr.. Clay
ton took the recent message of the
PRESIDENT as bis text, and in the course
OF his remarks he divided the Republi.
cans into two factions-"the reaction.
aries and the White House cuckoos. -
He charged that the message was an In
dictment against the Republican party
for its dereliction and lncompetency,
and asserted that not only had the
President found indictment, bnt had
furnished the proof upon which to con-
Wet. Inasmuch as the President s
message adopted in everv particular
the principle advocated by the Demo-
cratic party, said Mr.. Clayton, lit was
little wonder that it's reading provok.
ed some Democratic applause.
While the Republicans are prating
over harmony in their party and
availing themselves of every opportu-
nifty to emphasize each little discord
in the Democracy, the Republicans of
Florida hav just held their State con-
ventlOn which separated into two
parts and elected two sets of delegates,
one instructed for Taft and the other
uninstructed. This recalls the old
adage that you can always get up a
contesting delegation among Southern
(who are all negroes) with
a box of cigars and few bright silver
dollars.

The Democrats are advised by a Ger.
tain set of politicians not to make a
calamity campaign of the approaching
one. These gentlemen and the news
papers whose sentiments they voice.
think that it is unfair to take advan.
tage of condition for which no one
is directly responsible and charge it
up to the administration or to the Re-
publican party.
Now let 1t be understood if the Dem
ocrats do not take advantage of the
horrible conditions existing, every par
tlcle of which is chargeabIe directly to
the very people and the very conditions
President Roosevelt has just denounc-
ed in special message, then the Dem
ocratic party is coward and too
bralnless TO be entrusted with anv
power any where in the United States.
Would the Repu blicans lose such
chance? Well not much.

THEY NEED A PREACHER.

Over three hundred employees havl
been discharged by the c. & o. Ry. al
Hinton, W. Va, and this too in tbs
face of the fact that Republican laws
are the laws of the land, and the Re
publican party is In absolute and un-
disputable power. OF these discharged
men 200 are engineers and firemen and
100 are brakemen. If the hair Of the
dog ia good for the bite it might be
we'll to ask Mr.. M. E. Ingalls,, expires
ident Of that railway, to make tour
similar to those he made in 1896, and
do little preaching to the boys, at
least tell them what has happened and
why it happened, and describe again
and anew, lest they forget, the beau
ties Of the gold standard, high tariff
and Mark Hanna full dinner pals,
carrying a photograph of the latter.
He might gather crowds since the
boys have no engines to run or trains
to man. They could listen to him all |
day il he would hand Chew" of to. |
baeco around. He or any other polit- |
ical evangelist might take for his text:
The spirit beareth witness with our |
spirit. that We are the children of the
G. o. P"
Then II bis style should be like that
Of the great Saul of Tarsus he might
say to the boys: Now brethren, we
know that the whole of creation
groaneth and travaileth in pain, and
not they only, but ourselves, which
have the first fruits of the spirit
which being translated meaneth the q.
D. P. Even we ourselves groan with
in ourselves. Yet we are all saved by
faith and hope. Be not cast down
therefore, because hope deferred max
eth the heart sick. Hope that is seen
is not hope. Inasmuch, therefore, as
we see 10 hope, then do we still hope!
that we may see. The spirit helpeth
our infirmities, not today, or tomor-
