Major Pilcher, of the regular army,
had his face smacked and a cane used
over his person by Mr. C. C. Robertson
at Jacksonville, Fla., a few days ago.
This may be treason; who knows?
Want to Establish a Color Line.
The negroes are asserting themselves
in the army. They refuse to obey white
officers. This draws the color line.
Heretofore tiie whites have been criti
cized for refusing to obey negro officere.
Now the line is fully drawn by the
blacks, refusing. This puts the color
line where it cannot be wiped out as
both sides want it.
The White washers Will Whitewash.
Because the War Investigating Com
mittee has struck some damaging evi
dence is no reason they are going to
make anything but a report iv favor of
the Administration. There are a few
who would jump at the conclusion that
they had done their whole duty to allow
any word against the most efficient
conduct of the war to crop in. They
will report all right, so don't let any
body think otherwise. The report will
be eminently satisfactory to the Admin
istration, and will be ussd before Con
gress pretty much as a connniesioner's
report is used before a jury.

The Eastern War Cloud.
There is a war cloud in the East just
now which looks lowering. Our dis
patches for several days have teemed
with naval preparations on the part of
England and the mobilization by Russia
of her fleet. It now transpires that
Russia, undercover of the trouble outre
Nile between France and England, pro
ceeded to push her hues far forward in
Asia. There will most likely be a de
mand made ou Russia by England t 0
withdraw at certain points and it is
almost sure to be met with a flat refu
sal. England will then, it is argued,
fall upon the Russian fleet and possibly
attack her by land and if so the end of
the trouble can scarcely be foreseen.
This is surely the current opinion at
present.
How the Tariff Works.
The delusion and snare of a high tar
iff is daily becoming more and more
visible to those who have heretofore
refused to see. The New England man
ufacturer has been clamoring for it, the
wool producers of Ohio clamored for it,
and now they have a tariff to their
hearts content. Here is what the Balti
more Sun says editorially of their con
dition:
"The Philadelphia Manufacturer
comments on the depression in the
woolen industry in New England and
in Pennsylvania. Mills are closing.
About half the machinery using wool is
idle. The tariff laid for the protection
of the Ohio wool-growers seems to be the
cause in part, at least, both of the low
price of domestic wool and the inability
of the mills to work at a profit. The
demand for domestic wool depends
largely upon the low price of imported
wool used to mix with if, and when the
tariff makes imported wools dear it at
the same time makes dompstic wool
cheap. Abroad there is great activity
iv the woolen industry, with the result
that Boston recently exported Austra
lian wool to Europ»."
This condition is the logical outcome
of such a law. Taxation which drives
trade away or raises prices of the arti
cles we use in manufactures is ruinous.
It must lead to stagnation in trade. The
Dingley Bill is tbe iniquity of iniquities.
It is the crowning failure, and outrage
on our business interests of the nine
teenth century.
A Gold Standard Congress Issuing "Forty
Cent Dollars."
The utter fallacy and J fraud of the
"Forty Cent Dollar" Republican cam
paign cry of 1890, was neyer better illus
trated than by the action of the present
Republican Congress at Washington,
which was elected on that cry, as was
Mr. McKinley. When this Spanish
war began that Congress passed a bill
and President McKinley signed it to
coin 100,000,000 of silver dollars ! And
the mints are now coining theni as fast
as they can. When they get out of tbe
mint are they -10-cent dollars? Will
they not buy anything and as much of it
as a gold dollar will buy? Will they
not pay any debs that a gold dollar will
pay ? The gold standard people will
say that they will do this, because a
silver dollar can be exchanged for a gold
dollar at the treasury—Secretary Car
lisle* run-mad gold scheme. Is there
anybody in this country weak enough
to believe that this government can go
ou forever doing what it is doing now,
borrowing gold on its bonds to redeem
silver dollars? Cleveland increased the
national debt 8202,000,000 just by bor
rowing gold to keep up the gold stand
ard. McKinley is following suit, issu
ing bonds and Increasing the debt, for
which the Spanish war gave him a bet
ter excuse than Cleveland had.
Why should a silver dollar be re
deemable in gold ? It needed no such
redemption provision np to 1873. It
was worth 103 cents then while a gold
dollar was worth only ICO cents. No,
the opposition to siiver is the great
financial fake of the century, and when
the government gets in a hard place,
like the Spanish war for instance, it falls
right back on the ''dollar of our dad
dies.'' The voters of the United States
are getting their eyes opened to the]:
great fake. j i
Report of the Virginia Bar Association. J
We have received from Mr. Eugene I
'. Massie the report of the Tenth An
nual meeting of the Virginia Bar Asso
ciation. The book contains about 365
pages of printed matter including in
dexss, is neatly bound in cloth and has
been well edited. To the Bar of Vir
ginia it is very valuable, and should be i
found in all their libraries. It is a work
that will not be obtainable a few years
Ie we apprehend, as there may not
imand enough to put it through
her edition, and yet the demand
at times be such to the individual
he would not let the question of
3 enter in. The work has been
beautified with an occasional picture.
The last meeting was at Old Point Com
foit in the Hotel Chamberlin, and some
glimpses of that hostcly and Fortress
Monrcc and the harbor are dropped in
to take away the somberncss. But
some valuable portraits appear. Most
excellent ones of Judge Wm. J. Robert
son, R. G. 11. Kean, Judge Waller R.
Staples, Hon. Wm. B. Pettit, Hon. R.
Taylor Scotland Senator Geo.F. Hoar,
of Massachusetts, are found in the vol
ume. The book contains a minute of
the last annual meeting with reports of
the various officers,giving daily the pro
gress of the session and the speeches of
various members on the subject of
Judicial Robes. The necrological report
is long and includes three president's
who died within the previous year. The
reports of the committees on Legislation
and Law Reform, Library and Legal
Literature, and International Arbitra
tion, are all of much interest. A me

Will Not Compulsory Military Service
Come with Expansion.
Many people, far too many, are re
garding the expansion policy of the
I ninietration, as something that will
in any event affect them individu
. They should not be too sure of
t. A farmer in Augusta county
would be very much surprised to find
himself conscripted as a private soldier
of the United States army, but that is
the end of the road that the nation is
traveling, under Mr. McKinley's guid
ance. If the Senate should be mad
enough to ratify a treaty which shall
include Porto Rico and the Philippines,
with a provision, of our making, for
holding Cuba until good government is
established there, the standing army
will need to be one hundred and fifty
thousand strong. Such an army can
not be raised for peace service without
compulsory military service. Both sec
tions of this country had their fill of
that thirty years ago. At the South it
was called "conscrptiou," at the North
it was called "drafting." That is the
European plan to keep up the strength
of big armies, and if we follow Europe
an fashions we must follow their ineth
ods of maintaining them. If this iinpe
-1 expansion plan of the President
on, there will be many surprises
ur people, and compulsory military
cc will not be the least of them.
Communications should always be
addressed to the Spectator, and not
to R. S. Turk. If to the Spectator
Kcouie to the office, if to Mr. Turk
go to his house, and if he happens
from home as he was this week,
do not reach the office until too
'or publication.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only cue way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous lining of the Eustach
ian Tube. When this tube gets iutiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, aud when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
heariug will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)

I that Van Wyck will have a ma
