W?. L. Wilson :r. the Ecer War.
Lexington, Va , Ooi 15 Hon. W.
I. Wilson, president of ?Aaahlngton
and Les University, used as ths ?topic
of his last address before the students
Of the university that which is now
the i?sue of great in tercet England
and the Boer?.
He ?aid that when Southern Africa
wa? acquired from the Dut' h by the
English there was found there a people
descended from the Dutch Theos |???
pie had now cut loose from European
customs and de?ire ouly the name of
Afrikander? They became, Mr. Wil?
son ?aid, a slave-holding .narrow people.
In I88S, when England emancipated
the slave?, the Boers orgauized them?
selves Into a grand trek ami wandered
into Southeast Africa, away from the
English, where they could live accord?
ing to laws of their own makiug The
result of this emigratlou was the es?
tablishment of the Transvaal Republic.
The attempted ?ecession was looked
upon by England with mu< h disfavor,
and frequent fight? occurred. Finally
affairs assumed such a state that a del?
egation of Boers conferred with the
English, and the result was that the
Transvaal was put under the British
flag.
A majority of the Boers became dis
?atisfied when the British flag became
the dominant emblem of|t he Transvaal.
Notwithstanding the defeat of the
British at Majuba Hill bv the Boer?
and the British cry for vengeance,
Gladstone t?>ok up the cause of the
Boers, dared SO do right, and restored
to them their rule.
Diamond? and gold in large quanti?
ties were ?con found in the Boer?' ter?
ritory and the result disastrous. Ad?
venturers poured into the rich fields.
Johonnesburg was built, property was
acquired, mine? were opened by the
throng? that poured in The Boer? re?
sented this intrusion. Heavy taxes
were Imposed upon the strangers, and
they were not allowed to take part in
legislation.
It wa? inevitable that a struggle
would ?oon begin for recognition for
political rights and the disfranchised
appealed to England. If it is to be
war. the one disastrous result can be
readily foreseen. The intrepid B ?ers,
brave, obstinate and willing to fight to
the death, will be completely crushed
by the equally brave Eugltshmen.
Ar. Cr^anized Secret Movement tc Pre?
vent the Nomination of McEinley.
The Washington, D. ?., Star of
Tuesday ?ay? :
' 'There is an organized secret move
ment looking to the defeat of Presi?
dent McKinley for renomination. The
existence of the movement is known to
some of the President'? friends, ami it
is raid that the President was induced
to make hi? western trip .somewhat of
a campaigning tour with the view of
counteracting what is being done un?
der cove r by his enemies The posi
tlvesnoss and openness of the Piesi
dent'B recent speeches, especially that
of Monday in Wisconsin, in which he
comes out without equivocation in de?
fense of the policy of expansion, is re?
garded as proof that he ha? become
thoroughly satisfied that the country
is behind him in this p >licy and that
by that sign he can defy all opposition.
It is known that the planning to
bring Admiral Dewey into tbe field as
a candidate against the President is
not the only thing that is being laid
ont in the way of developing an op?
position in the Repaid ican national
convention. An effort is being made
to perfect an organization strong
enongh to prevent McKinley'? renomi?
nation independently of the oandidacy
of any particular man at this time in
mind. If Dewey should be availablei
he would probably be the first choice,
but it 1? not proposed to make the issue
dependent npon hi? availibility. How
far the movement has met with en
conrgement cannot be ascertained, but
a number of prominent men have been
approached on the subject and a defl
nite plain of campaign has been dis?
closed to them.
The Governor Grants a Respite.

long consultation with the Governor
that morning, presenting argument?
for the respite. Mr. Woodard ?ays mach
new evidence has been discovered, and
that he is oonfident tbe Governor will
consider it ?officient to warrant com?

in seosiOll at this pleOS today, and
promptly rejected hy a unanimous voto.
The Richmond county committee
then adopted a resolution reciting the
Mlty for a regularly Humiliated

Kites to the Downing convention shall

"Chairman Gordon announced in our

vised him to keep away from the court
house and ignore them. "
The News also says :
' 'It is a strange spectacle to see the
tail wagging the dog. and it would be
nu lers strange and revolting should the
manly Democrats of Louisa fail to throw
oil the collar of a oourt house bosslsm
and boldly proclaim that country law
yers should not longer be their
masters Editor Bibb has decided
not to wear it a moment. No
machine shall < arry a key to a collar
locked around our neck. It will only
be a short while before Democrats will
say that Editor Bibb was right and he
can read his praise in their eyes while
the machine gang and their small
?rheuies, tricks, aud favoritisms will
be begging alms of oblivion and hiding
their heads from the fury of an angry,
deceived and indignant people. "
The News after thus speaking calln
for the defeat of the Democratic nomi?
nee in these words :
' 'Democrats who voted for Horace
Ureely because he was the party nomi?
nee have ever since regretted it. Edi?
tor Bibb is a party man and believes in
supporting the nominee as a general
rule but he would feel that be was not
true to himself and to the future of the
D?mocratie party of Louisa did he not
urg" Democrats to stay away from the
polls on November 7th. A mistake has
be.-ti made. Frown tt down, Democrats,

is opposed to bogus Democracy and

that a republic, is gre iter than an em?
pire, I believe in lie orge Washing?
ton, not in Napoleon Bonaparte; In the
whigs of the revolutionary day, not in
the tories: in Ohatham, Hurke and
Sim Adams, not in Dr. Johnson or
Lord North. 1 believe that the North
star, abiding in its place, ,? a greater
inflnenoe in the universe thau any
comet or meteor, I believe that the
[Tailed States*, when William McKin?
ley was inaugurated, was a greater
World p iwer than Rome in the height
of her glory, or even England with her
100,000,000 vassals. I believe what?

that tho world is growing better ; that
today Is better than yesterday, and

Boers Like Filipinos.
Chicago,Oct. 16 ?"The United State
is morally estopped by her action in th
Philip dues from criticising the actio
of (ireat-Krif tin in South Africa," sal
II .n. William J. Bryan at the Sherni i
il nue today.
"We have abdicated our higher mora
?niqueness among the nations," Mr
l'.rvan continued. We are gagged am
found. Tho R >ers went into the Wil
.ernes? like the Pilgrim fathers, fo
the sake of religious and political lib
erty. The Roer, like the Filipino, ii
lighting for his right to govern him
self.
"President McKinley at Minneapoiii
l ?at week said he believed Ihe i nlted
Btates should permanently retain the
Philippine I-lainU He repudiated the
s nuce of government described in the
Declaration of In lependenca. Near
the close of the address occurs this sen?
tence :
That Ooognes will provide for them
(tho Filipino?) a government which
will bring blessings, which will pro?
mote the material interests as well its
advance their people on the paths of
civilization and intelligence, I confi?
dently believe.
"If wo ohange the word Congress to
Parliament and the word Filipinos to
Unionists, that sentence wonld express
the sentiments of King George in the
Revolutionary days; or if we changed
the word Congress to Oortes and the
word Filipinos to Cubans, it would ex?
press the sentiments of Spain when
America intervened."
Mr. Bryan advocates the Bacon reso?
lution defeated in the last Congress, as
a pancea for present troubles in the
Philippines. This resolution declares
it to be the purpose of the United State?
to give the Filipinos ultimate indepen?
dence.
A meeting is scheduled between Mr.
Bryan and Chairman Jones, of the
Democratic National Committee, within
the next few days. It is probable they
will meet in St. Louis. Topic? to
come op are questions as to Mr. Bryan's
health and the advisability of his with?
drawing more from campaigns. The
iiaestion of bringing Admiral Sohley
into prominence with the Democratic
pirty will also probably be discussed.
Mr. Bryan is still gnfferiog somewhat
from the effects of his recent illness In
Iowa. Hois hoarse and has a . >ugh
Mrs. Uryan accompanies him to look
after his health. Mr. Bryan left this
evening for Kentucky, where he is to
take part in the Ooebei campaign.
Thence he will go into Ohio and make
speeches for Mr. McLean. He thinks
both these candidates will win and
' denies that he and Mr. McLean are on
anything but the best of terms
Large Sale of Cotton.
The Baltimore Sun says : "Reports
from all the seaport cities of tho South
indicate decreased receipts and ship?
ments of cotton compared with tbe same
date last year. The reason for this de?
crease is the increased consumption of
cotton by tbe Southern mills and the
large purchases being made by them in
order to increase the material on band.
A case in point was the sale in Maoon,
Oa, last Friday."
