' The- great day of the Kansas meeting." said the colonel, the other evening. "Mas the 10th. The country people came' in trom everywhere, until by 1 1 o'clock there was a procession of them tive. miles long. It was the most enthusiastic gathering I ever saw anywhere. At one point in the line were 1 00 pretty country girl, all dressed exac tly alike, and all on horse back: then 100 young men on horeback. "There wen ffig and banners without number, with cartooiis and odd inscrip tions. "The condition of the Kansas farmers is worse than that of our farmers, ten to one. The State is covered with mort gages from one end to the othe r. That has been denied in congress and else where, but it's the truth. I talked to :!00 or 400 people, indiscriminately, and the condition there i truly pitiable. "They have what is called a writ of as sNtance. taken out immediately after a mortgage is foreclosed. It is nothing more nor less than the Irish writ of t i -'.ion; and the law gives the holder of the 'mortgage a terrible leverage ou the ten ant. Absolutely, there is one tract in the .vesjcin part of the Slate, nine miles wide b thirty-live long', where every single land holder has been evic ted every sin gle one, and evicted on mighty short no tice ami the two or three land associa tions holding the mortgages have formed a great syndicate in Topeka to cultivate that land themselves. They have sowed that great tract of land in wheat. "As their condition ha been worse than our, so much greater has been the energy and enthusiasm with which they have gone into this movement for relief. Men. women and children share alike in the enthusiasm. "The people's ticket includes all the laboring organizations. Even the ne groes are moving with the other elements, having a negro candidate for state auditor on the people's ticket. 'Another lemarkable factor in the movement is the citizens' alliance. It is made up of people not eligible to mem bership in the Farmers' Alliance doc tors, lawyer, merchants and others, who sympathize with the farmers' movement -and numbers now 10.000 members, and by the election in November that number will reach 25.000. They have adopted the alliance platform in toto, and are co operating heartily. "One thing strange to me was the part taken by women generally in politic. They seem to know as much about public affairs as the men. and help carry the elections with their speaking and w riting. "Another thing I noticed was this: I dwelt upon the idea tliHt the interests of the South and the West, as a fanning people, were identical: that they had great common interests at stake, and that they must work together to get relief. "Whenever that sentiment wa ad vanced, and in whatever shape, it was cheered to the echo. Their response to it w;is general. Those people are desperate, and they are breaking the party lines and massing in one irreit ihk movement lor relief." IMPORTANT RAILWAY f R0JECT.

Region of The rapid development of this leautiful sec tion of Virginia is a source of gratifica tion and encouragement to all other por tions of the South. The Wautiful and tlourshing cities which have sprung up as if by magic, from Bclford City out to the TennesM-v line along the route of the Norfolk AlW estern Railroad and its great j branch lines, exhibit a w onderful spevta. le t of thrift, progressiveiiess aud energy. For ' this great awakening much is due to the splendid management of the Norfolk -A: Western Railroad iu the iutluence it Ins exerted to bring capital into Virginia to develop the .untold mineral wealth of the country through which the road run, aud us .i oiisi-vpicu e to build Up cities great and small. Commenting' on this remarkable devel opment the Pete isliurg Index-Appeal, has a most excellent article. It calls attention to the fact that the people once arou- d to a consciousness of the wealth whic h nature has lavished on them, and to the possibilities .if their section, speedily ptoed themselves no laygard iu the race for material prog ri and prosperity. 'They proclaimed their advantages far and near, anil invited immigration aud capital To exploit the yield that lav almost '.ipoM the surface-of the earth. Both came in a steady stream aud found employment j! . uitable hevoiid their most sauguine ex pectations. Cities sprang up in a night, .iiui grew iu histihood with the day. In . hist rial enterprises dotted the hillsides u'd valleys, and the busy hum of machin rv broke the solitude that had so long e igiicd in Appalac hia. Laud owner suffering with probverbial laud-poverty -iiihlenlv found themselves rich without an effort, and speculator, buying ou the top of a rising market, made fortunes by the retard less ;md never-ceasing advance in values. As the storehouse of exhaustless min eral resources, it uninterrupted pro.sjeri tv. asserts the liideX-Appeul. is assured indefinitely. The supply of coal and hem atites and fossil ores in close proximity to ac h other, and the easy ac cess which the section has to magne t ites so slow in phos photos as te be adapteal to the manufae : tine- of Bessemer steel, foreordain the Southwest as a formidable rival of Penn sylvania in the near future. Besides these, the largest zinc works in the South an- in the Southwest at Pulaski, aud the largest I cat I works in the Smth are iu Wythe county. Copper, aud manganese arc found in abundance, aud we greatly mistake the enterprise of the age if the tariff does not give an impulse to the mining of tin to be found all through thos- mountains. But the wealth of the Southwest, i not restricted to her mineral resources: nor have we iu the foregoing enumerated one half of these minerals. Blue grass is . indigenous to thi section, and the vast areas of superior grazing laudsafford i sourc e of wealth iu cattle-raising no less inexhaustable than her mineral resources, and not second to them in value. To the industrious and thrifty mau with a little capital here is u fortune iu the nat ural increase of stock if managed with tli-crction and energy. Every new city and e very new furnace iu the Southwest alds to the profit of farming aud stock raising injhat section, ami to this is the lurther possibility that every man's farm may hold a fortune for him lieneath its surface. The pen sketch of the Index-Appeal is not exaggerated. To the people of Nor folk, the development of the Southwest is a source of intense satisfaction, for aside from the ties of friendship which bind them -strongly together, they recog nize that the growth and prosperity of Southwest Virginia must tend to the growth aud development of Virginia's gieat seuoort.- Norfolk Virginian.
