SHEEP VKR8CS DOGS.
The bill of Senator Wiokbam, ot
Hanover county, reoently introduced In
the State legislature, making the pro?
prietors and harborers of dogs that kill
or worry sheep liable for damage to the
owners of said sheep, is a wise one, and
should be promptly passed, with a pro*
viso that the offending dog be killed.
All who have looked into the matter
must admit that the climate, soil and
other conditions of this State for shoep
ralsing are as good aa those ot any State
or territory in the Union.
They must also know that the thou?
sand of worthless curs in the common?
wealth are the main drawbacks to a
succ9ssful prosecution of this valuable
industry. Hence it is very important
for the material development of the
State and the prosperity of individual
farmers that some drastic and Btrlngent
measure be enacted to foster and en?
courage sheep raising and wool grow?
ing. Mr. Wlokham's bill Is a Btep In
that direction, which should bo followed
up vigorously until the industry has
been added to the other means of money
making afforded by the superior re?
sources of Virginia.
The dog, however, has been suoh a
valuable animal In the eyes of many
office holders and office-seekers In this
State that anythlog which tends to
lesson his privileges or ropress his power
for mischief Is looked at more with the
eyes of the demagogue than of ?.rue and
enlightonod statesmanship. If tho dog
were caton here, aa is done in China and
other eastern countries, as well as by
some of the Indian tribes of tho Unltod
States, his protection and preservation
might bo advocated with some degree of
reason; but when It Is romembered
that nlno- tenths of the mombers of the
canine trlba In this State are utterly
worthless and absolutely pernicious to
the welfare of the people, the timidity
displayed by the averaaro legislator on
this question would be amusing, If It
was not serious. By all means let us
have a law that will protect the sheep,
even at tho expense of the life and
power of destruction of tho dog.
Ex Governor CnuncuiLL, of Arkan?
sas, a famous ganoral of the Confederato
army, is fully reconstructed. He Is not
only a good citizen, rsndorlng ready
obedience to tho laws of the country,
but ho Ih willing to use his military
talents in defence of tho flag of the
Union, and, incidentally, ia helping the
Government to maintain the Monroe
doctrlno. In view of tho Venezuelan
crisis and th9 possibility of a war be?
tween this country and Great Britain,
he racently transmitted the following
telegraphic dispatch to Senator Kerry,
of his Stille: "In caso of war with Eng?
land, off?r my oarvices to tho Presi?
dent." The Senator promptly replied,
"All right, Thomas," and thus themnt
tor stands. Tbla prompt tender ot his
services by an ex Confederato geuoral 1h
important, an an indication of the pre?
vailing aentlmont of Southern soldiers
of tho lato war towards tho gonural
Government. Gjvernor Churchill is
only one ot tho thousands of brave men
in this suction who fought undar tho
Stars and Bars, but who are now ready
to prove on tho baitloflald their devo?
tion to the flig of a united country
Probably at no time in the history of
the United Statos have the people of all
sections boon more thoroughly united
than now. Slavery in dead; secession
is buried. Time has nearly obliterated
all the bltlorness of tho late civil war,
and another generation of ardont, pa?
triotic American citizens is on thestago
of action. A foreign war would iaclto
a rivalry among tae troops of the sev?
eral States that would make them prac
tloally invincible England could not
have Beleoted a hotter time than now, so
far as wo aro concerned, for testing the
strength of the Monroe dootrlne.
The city council should take under
consideration the passage of an ordl?
nance regulating the running of bicycles
on the public streets. There is no law
on the ordinance books of tho city
which restricts bicycle riders In an;
manner whatever. Thore is a law which
provides that these machines shall be
considered as vehicles and shall have all
the rights and privileges of the public
highways acoorded to any other class of
vehicles. This should not bo A
bicycle is a very different machine from
a buggy or a oart. It moves faster, and
makes no noise. Bicycle tidera shou d
be compelled to carry signal lights,havo
some mods for warning persons In dan?
ger ot being run over, and council should
regulato their speod on the business
streets. Acoidonts might bo thus
avoided, and no harm done to the bicyclo
people either.
Lord Dunraven's nautical experi?
ence is unlucky. All that ho could do,by
bis presence and otherwise, failed to
securo the victory for his yacht Valky?
rie III in her race with Defender, and
just after he started from Liverpool
yesterday to reopen the controversy in
this country,tho steamship Germanic on
which be was a passenger, oollided with
a Scotch ooaBtlng steamer and had to
return to port badly damaged. Dun
raven had just as well remain in Eng?
land. He is not very popular in yacht?
ing circles and otherwise on this side of
the Atlantic.
The London papers ridioule the im?
peachment resolutions against Ambas?
sador Bayard, except tho St. James
Gazette, whioh thinks the American
minister may resign, after auch an
attack on him in Congress, and, while
paying a high tribute to him as an elo?
quent and dignified American states,
man, says his indisoretlon was so delib?
erate that the English people, too,
would resent it if one of their ministers
should make similar statements. Mr.
Bayard, however, aocordlng to the
Olob 9, says be does not intend to resign.
The Proposed Parade of Veterans.
New York, Dec. 11.?The sub-oom
mltteo of the executive oommittee of
which Wm. St. John is chairman, hav?
ing in charge the proposed parade and
review of the Confederate veterans on

of the meeting the following statement
was given out by order of Mr. St. John:
"The special committee on organiza?
tion, plan and scope, have met and re?
ceived the accumulated evldenoe of an
enthusiastic public reception awaiting
the Union and Confederate parade, and
have requested the chairman of the
committee to advise the commander-in
chief of the Grand Army of the Repub?
lic of the Onited States of the plans and
purposes of the committee; also, that a
similar letter be addressed subsequently
to the com mander-in- chief of the United
Confederate Veterans.

Bramwell, W. Va., Dec. 10.?Last
evening Mr. Bdwin Farmer and his
father, Professor Henry Farmer, offered
the people of Bramwell a musical treat,
which they soldom have an opportunity
of enjoying. The MaBonlc Temple was
used for tho occasion, which at 8 p. m.
was filled with an assemblage of cul?
tured and appreciative people. From
the time Mr. Edwin Farmer Btruck the
first note In a polonaise by Chopin on
tho grand piano, rondored doubly grand
under tho masterly touch of Heaven
born genius, until tho last notes of
Terschak's "Allegro de Concert," which

Roanoke Friday night, where no further
introduction is needed than that they
are artists of rare ability and real worth,

Toi'kka, Kan., Deo. 11.?The recent

pitch of indignation. A mob began
forming on the streets, the avowed pur?
pose being to burn the Kansas Medical

ment on foot to burn the institution,
which Is located at Twelfth and Taylor

tho police for protection. The students

tioned at their arsenal to prevent a cap?
ture of the college faoulty.
The men are now assembled at the
station on Lawrence street. While it
is believed the precautions that have
been taken will prevent any violent
demonstration to-night, the men in the
streets are loud in their threats.

That famous oomedian Roland Reed
and his admirable oompany will present
at the Academy ot Music Saturday, De?
cember 21, his latest and greatest suc?
cess, "The Politician, or the Woman's
Plack," whloh has proven one of the
best hits this popular actor has ever had.
The pleoe is the joint work of the late
David D. Lloyd and Sydney Rosenfleld,
and is in their happiest vein. The play
begins with tho scene, the exterior of
Peter Wooley's houso. Here are intro?
duced nearly all the oharaoters of the
oast. General Joslah Limber, the poli?
tician?that's Mr. Reed?comes hastily
in, as does the politician who has only a
few moments in which to save his coun?
try. He chats with thn ladles and asks
to see Mr. Wooley. He sees him and
falling into the politician's way of call?
ing people by their first name, endeav?
ors to secure Mr. Wooley's consent to
run as a compromise otndldate?"The
savior ot his country," says General
Limber. Mr. Wooley is aghast at the
idea. Limber grows enthusiastic but
Wooley refuses, for he lacks the many
great qualifications necessary for one
occupying that position. Mr. Wooley
describes what a Congressman should
be: "He should bo noble of purpose,
intelligent?." "It's a pity," sayB, the
politician, aside, "It's a pity to aend a,
man like that to Congress. He'll bo so
lonesome." The polltlolan meets Mrs.
Miggs, the widow sister of tho proposed
candidate. She Is sentimental.
"Let us talk of the soul."
"Yes, it la interesting; but it is not on
our platform," breaks in tho politician.
"He is the deodorizer of politics."
"If we weight the woman's plank too
much it will sink."
An so on throughout are tri to sayings
and abrupt, odd expressions. The char
acters aro all cleverly constructed. One
in particular, portrayed by Miss Isadore
Rush, a twentieth century girl, has cre?
ated a sensation from the novel charac?
terization and dressing of the role.
Mr Reed comes under the auspices of
the Elks to play a benefit for charitable
purpeses and tho Academy should be
packed from pit to domo. Seats on sale
