One of tbe brightest political lumi naries in the political heavens of Virginia, in his own estimation, just now is young Mr. J. E. B. Stuart—the eon of bis father. Mr. Stuart some time ago was out of a job. He was growing hungry after the manner of the prodigal son, he fain would eat the husks. A happy thought came to him. Thoughts do not come to Mr. Stuart in droves, but one nestled iuhis brain, be nursed it, he fondled it, for it was a stranger in a strange land. This little thought grew apace and broadened into an idea, the idea was this, "I will vote for McKiuley." So he voted that way. But Mr. McKinley knew not of what he had done. After awhile it was brought to Mr. McKinley's atten tion. Kut Mr. McKinley was a just man. He said to himself, "This scion bas not voted for me because be loved me better, but because he loved some one else less, or for some selfish rea son." Thus did tbe scion stand where be was, his hunger growing apace. Again he voted for Mr. McKinley in the hope that that just man might feel grateful aud grow charitable, but a great accident befell Mr. McKinley, aud be had no chance to show his ap preciation of tbe scion's action if he felt grateful therefor. Thus did tbe selon stand by the wayside begging. At last he who was exalted because of the death of Mr. McKinley beheld that sorrowful face among the many sor. rowful faces which looked upon him as be passed by the multitude and he said to one of his attendants, "Who is this young man of the sorrowful face ." And the attendant could not answer because he bore little resemblance to hie forefathers. When tbe attendant had returned and told Mr. Roosevelt who he of tbe sorrowful face was, he said I will remember of him, and he told bis attendant to make a note of bhn, and the attendant wrote in abook the name of the little man of the sor rowful face, and the name was ponder ous and very long. After that Mr. Roosevelt gave him position and power because bis father was a great and noble man. Some years ago the Czar Alexander, the father of the weakling now ruler of Russia, found a man doing manual labor along with other peasantry. So impressed was he with the man that be made him lav aside his peasant garb and exalted him to be governor over the people who were bis former kins men and associates. No sooner than he had come to this bigb estate than he became a tyrant, and tbe people spewed him out of their mouths. After a while they blew him to pieces with a bomb. He had been exalted beyond his deserts. A FEATURE OF THE PKIMARY. The primary election is over and the possibilities of fraud as well as the actual fraud itself have been made apparent. Men were allowed to vote who had no particle of right to vote, and others deprived from voting who bad a perfect right to vote. Had the teat of supporting the Democratic ticket in 1896 and 1900 been applied at all there would have been thousands in the State who would never have cast a ballot Tuesday. Even Senator Martin himself would have been a doubtful voter, because he only supported the ticket in those years half heartedly, indeed it was, if anything wor.e than that. He would support the ticket with his lips at time, whilst foreyer hie heart was far from it. ■ _—_ —— Hon. H. St. Geo. Tucker is to be the president of the Jamestown Exposi tion. Should he succeed in resurrecting the lost foundations of the ancient vil lage he might be a good man to put to work to lind some of tbe lost honor of Virginia and to this end should be made governor. i >.___-. The temperature and Gas Addicks dropped very low the same day. THE PEACE CONFERENCE. Tbf> Uiifisian and Japanese enyoss have not. as y«t agreed upon forms ol peace. The trend of opinion is that they will not got together. The Rus sian goes into hysterics whenever In demnity and surrender of territory are mentioned. Hut he must overcome this malady, he must submit to the Japanese medicine and knife now, or do it later when his malady is far more direful. If Japan does not get Sahkalin and Indemnity, then she has gaiued nothing bat Port Arthur. All other things demanded being those the Russians promised to do lotifj ago, but lied about. If another battle is fought before peace is made, Russia will lose Vladivostok aud Eastern Siberia.; Suppose the Japanese had failed in their war and were Unlay asking Hub sia terms where would Japan be . Think of it. It is a hard pill lor Hus sia to swallow, but she must swallow it. She must pay Indemnity and lose territory, and on no other ground can peace be obtained. All other terms of the treaty are mere bagatelles, thrown in to make up. With it ail the Rus sian people are prospering aud pro greasing. They cannot pay too much for the blessings this war has brought them. Here is oue of the jokes: In the Czar's proclamation of a Rus Sian National Assembly, just at this juncture, some will see merely au in- Hiucere movement designed to all'ect the peace negotiations. .Nicholas, it will be said, has beeu uotilied by Witte that vow is the time to show Japan that re forms are to be granted lUe Russian people so as to unite them for a con tinuance of the war, if the Japanese demands are intolerable. Hut the sim pler aud better view is that we have before us merely the natural aud in evitable result of the political forces which have long beeu at work in Rus sia. They have come to this expres sion soouer than they would but for the great break-up due to the war, but they were bound.to come one day. Self sufficient autocracy is passing away. The governed are to have something to say about the government. It is easy, of course, to point out how far the Czar's proposals are from full rep resentative government. The people are to elect delegates, but the latter, so far aa now appears, are to have only a sort of consultative aud veto power. Hut it is the beginnings which count in political revolutions. The lirst step once taken, the others follow. It is obvious that the Russiaus themselves regard the Czar's manifesto as their iurluction into the methods of free government. In wpite of Tolstoy's mystical warnings, they are feasting liberty, and.linding that ir is good.— N. Y. Evening-Post. JUDGE GEO. M- HARRISON. There has been an effort made in the counties north of us, especially ia Frederick, Clarke, Loudon and others, to elect delegates unfavorable to the re-election of Hon. tieo. M. Harrison to the Supreme Court bench. About Winchester this effort bas been very marked, and seems to be in the interest of Judge Thomas B. Harrison of the circuit court of that district. This is to be deeply regretted. .1 udge treo. M. Harrison has grown in public favor as much as any man who has been a member of our Supreme Court. He has been industrious, faithful and just. His opinions rank with those of tbe best, and no man can point his finger to any bias or prejudice in his judicial career. There were some in this quarter who did not support Judge Harrison when be was elected over Judge Wm. McLaughlin, who was also au aspirant. The fact that Judge Harrison was elected over their choicejhas caused bis course as a judge to be broufbt under severer tests than had he been their candidate, aud among these has be kept himself on a plane which has always been beyond criticism, in fact instilled in them confidence aud esteem. It would be unjust, ungenerous, if uot a political crime to uudertake his defeat in the face of his record. Middle River Teachers.

Supreme Court Next Month The fall term of tbe supreme court of appeals is to begin in Staunton, Sept. oth. A great many cases are to be called, and it is understood that coun sel in other causes than those on the docket will ask a hearing. The cases are of the greatest importance, and it is .understood that the celebrated Tide water vs. The Norfolk and Western case, app aled from the decision of tbe corporation commission, will be sent to the court with the request that it be advanced in order to facilitate im provements contemplated, and which are being held in abeyance pending the final decision of tbe case. THE PRIMARY TICKET !| U. S. Senator —Thomas S. Martin. Governor —Claude A. Swanson. Lt.-Governor —J. Taylor Ellyson. Attorney General —Wm. A. Anderson. . Supt. of Public Instruction —J. D. Eggleston. The primary is over, and the contest for Senator and State Officers has resulted in the nomination of the above ticket. Senator Martin carried every district in the State, his majority being 15,000. Mr. Swanson has won a well deserved victo ry, his plurality being 20,000. Mr. -Ellyson, the able chair man of the party for so many years, was nominated for Lieut.- Governor by a handsome majority. Attorney General Wm. A. Anderson was re-nominated by a very flattering vote, which is very gratifying to his friends. Mr. J. D. Eggleston, who was nominated for Superintendent of Public Instruction, is an edu tor of ability, and will make an excellent officer. The other State ofiicers had no opposition. What seemed to create the most surprise was the fact Mr. Willard was the lowest in the race for gubernatorial honors. The vote general throughout the State was much smaller than was anticipated—the kichmond .papers say by 15,000, the cause for this falling off has not been accounted for. STAUNTON. The vote iv Staunton resulted as fol lows: Montague 297 Martin, 250 Swanson, 170 Willard, 136 Manu, 260 Ellyson, 434 Cabell, 85 Anderson, 466 Williams, 83 Eggleston. 369 Hulvey, 172 Echols, 328 Opie, 233 Churchman, 348 Walker, 304 Craig, 256 Harris, 135 Moffatt's Creek Items.

Monterey, Va., Aug. 21.—The School Hoard of Highland, held itsannnal set tleiuent meeting on Wednesday, at the office of treasurer, J. A. Joues, Mon terey. A settlement of all business for the scholastic year was made, and two of the three districts of the county showed a handsome balance on hand. The board of supervisors was urged not to reduce the rate of taxation in view of the increased assessment, as more funds were needed to properly conduct the schools. The school census returns show a loss of about 300 over last census due to change in school age. The board protested against the new law, which provides only the pal try sum of $5.00 for compensation of district trustees, and the Highland representative in the next legislature is asked to do something toward pro viding adequate compensation. A Wonderful Saving The largest Methodist Church in Georgia, used 32 gallons of L. & M. mixed with 24 gallons of oil, thus mak ing paint cost about $1 20 per gallon. They calculated to use 106 gallons of other paint. Saved about .NO 00, and aud also got a big donation of L. & M.
