The !>'rw Yoi\ Tribune has been anti-peace league, anti-Wilson, anti almost everything in its editorial col? umns except the rankest partisan politics, secured the services of tin Hon. George W. Wickeraham, form? erly Attorney General of the Unit? ed States, to make a trip to France for the special purpose of contribut? ing articles to the Tribune in oppo? sition to the League und in harmony with that famous paper's policy. Much was expecied of Mr. Wicker sham. "But the unexpected has oc? curred," say3 the Ly: :hburg News. Mr. Wickershnm ha.: returned a con? verted man. Says he: "I had no dramatic conversion. There was no single experience, no sudden hurst of light which pent me back, like Saul of Tarsus, to preach a different gos peL But on tho ground," ho says, "'face to face with world facts, in? stead of at home engrossed with his? toric doctrines, it was impossible not to see that America is already en? meshed in a world situation from which Hhe cannot withdraw." Further:. "We have become re? sponsible lor the overthrow of the governments of Germany, Austria-'. Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria, and for the reorganization <f liuropc und large purls of Asia and Africa on a basis best qualified to prevent fu? ture wars," and "shall America re? fuse to join this woi Id alliance to proter! the pcuci terms : he has dic? tated and prevent anarchy and war because some lawyers believe it may in wniie particular conflict with the Monroe doctrine? As a mailer of fact, there is no serious infringement ?n this covenant upon America's ;ra ditional policy, and a very slight amendment may leave the w hole dm - trine in .act." And bo, as this paper has tried to point out heretofore, it is impossi? ble for us, thousands of miles away from the battlefields of the ruined and devastated countries, to form an adequate conception of existing con? ditions and hence, existing needs. Here, is a great man, opposed to the League, as he sits in his New York ofHco and rends newspaper articles, who, when he is on the ground, face to face with it all, as a manly, hon? est American, confesses that scceing the situation in its true light, hail been mistaken in his opposition, and now advocates and approves what he had previously opposed. And no, aa time wears on opposition to the Ixuiguo gradually turns to approv? al. Enemies become friends. A REVOLT AGAINST THE DOC? TORS. The epidemic bad swept over the country from the lakes to the gulf, from tho mount:'ins to the sea, and killed hundreds of thousands of peo? ple of all ages. The doctors and the nurses seemed impotent and helpless in their fight to stay the ravages of the epidemic. The influenza wn i :?? new disease. Finally, n remedy was discovered, it was claimed, by the use of which all future attacks of the disease could bo prevented. A convention of physicians was called to devise plans and adopt n course of action, which might save the race from future ravages of the disease. There assembled in the (ity a num? ber of leading anil eminent physic inns, not only from America, but from Europe?men whose opinions and recommendations commanded the respect of the nations. After care? ful consideration, discussion und in? vestigation, with all the fact befon them, th'osi great men made :. ropori recommending that if certain rules which they formulated were careful? ly followed, there would bo no recur? rence of the epidemic. There went up a rjreat shout of joy all over the land, not only from tho homes which had been desolated, and clouded by the disease, but from the people gen crally. They said: "We don't want another epidemic, heaven knows we dont. Tl,e toll is too great, the sor row t.io poignant. Anything that will proven', n return of the disease will be haiied with delight. The eminent physicians promulgat? ed pertain rules and course.; of con? duct to be observed by each family, carefully guarding their statements by such provisions and limitations as would, they hoped, be accepted and approved by the people everywhere. "Surely," they argued, "the people will not be so blind 01 foolish as to reject and ignore the simple plant! (iiu! ales proposed in order to con-, servo Iho health and happincau *i)e world at iarge for all time to come." Hut what happened? Listen: There sprung up over night oppositions to the plans of the prent physicians. In almost every neighborhood, as well as hamlet and city, criticisms and ob? jections beyen to pour in. Their: sud? denly sprang into existence among the people, a knowledge of medicine, and sanitation unknown and unheard of before. The world woke up to real? ize that the number of physicians and wise men was legion. Some said that the rule:-, and recommendations in? terfered with their old customs and habits. Others declined to permit "any set of men to dictate" to them as to how they should live. They were not willing to change a single custom or habit of living for the public good or contribute one iota to the limith and happiness of the hu? man race. What do you think of the people knowing little 01 nothing of the laws of health, and absolutely nothing of a disease such as the influenza, who will refuse to even try out plans ami remedies proposed and believed in by leading experts id" the world? Now, the above sketch is, of course purely imaginary, but there is u pa? rallel cxaotly. Leading experts of more than a dozen lenduig nations of the world, have formulated a set id' rules end a course of action, the object, of which is to prevent, forever future wars? lo put beyond the power of might to dominate the right, to form a league and a treaty to which all nations Shall subscribe which it is claimed will prevent for all times a repeti? tion of the bloody, costly und atro? cious war just ended. Behold, up pops a number of men, who say. "we are not in favor of the league of na? tions. We are Unwilling to enter i.i to alliances with foreign nation.;. We must conserve the Monroe doctrine and the principles enunciated by our fnthcrs in the Constitution." Some of these objectors know as much about what they are talking about and criticising as the objectors lo the recommendations of the doctors know about Metelia Medien?nothing. The Declaration of Independence and tin Constitution of the United States nre a league and a treaty, adopted by each Stale as agreements by which they are governed. Bach Slate in? still independent, 'the League of na? tions is only a world-wide Contitu tioh and declaration setting out rules of action by which, if lived up to. the world, the nations, small mid great, may live in peace, without fc:*.r of outside interference. I low could the Stalls of this United States live in peace without conservative laws by which each State is prohibited from trespassing upon the rights of other Slates'.' All the League am! Treaty of Nations proposes is,, that no one nation shall oppress another nation, nor permit it to be done by any other nation. And, strange as it. may ap? pear, the League of Nations is meet? ing with opposition in advance, by men, too, in many instances, who know nothing of its provisions. It is a well known fact that the Decla? ration of Independence and the Con stitution of the United States met with violent opposition at first. Hut it lives. The objectors, honest they were, no doubt are forgotten. So will it he with the Treaty of Peace and the League of Nations. THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION TOMORROW. The Republicans of this Senatorial [ district meet in convention April nth at Richlands for the purpose of nom? inating a candidate to represent the district in the next session of the Senate of Virginia. The district is composed of the counties of Tazcwell, Russell, Buchanan and Dickenson. For a number of yenrs the Repub? licans have elected their candidate with or without opposition, and the presumption is they will do so this year, unless strong opposition devel? ops from some source unforeseen and at this lime scarcely expected. This is not saying, or intended to be un? derstood as saying that the Demo? crats will not have or should not 'nave a candidate. At the present writing there is no Democratic us ;i rant for Senatorial honors within the view of ojr limited circle. Pre? suming, therefore, for the purpose of ?his article, that this Senatorial dis? trict will be represented by a Repub? lican candidate, his platform bc :om< of general interest to us all. The Richlands convention will be the first Republican convention of a licit not.' to be held si no the war. in the Ninth district, so far as re ailed now, and their platform and h ilaration of principles will sound a keynote perhaps for other conven? tions to be held. The usual resolu? tions, of course, will be presented by properly constituted committee, which will proceed to build a pluftorm for the candidate to stand upon, and et forth articles of faith for which he will bo an],posed to contend. Will these resolutions '.l broad, liberal ?Mid patriotic, or narrow, partisan nnd disi iptive? The Republican party has such an opportunity as it hasn't had before?couldn't have had before the great war, to take high ground and enunciate a set of principles ?viiich will place it far and above the plane of partisan politics. Will the i irty see the opportunity and use it? Or, will they "chaw the old rug," thresh over the old straw, resolute fond declaim a.gniiut "disfranchise' ?ment," the "iniquitous elections laws." th; extravagonci of tho State gov-l cmment, pension an.I school books,,', and the "rottenness of the Democrat-] ie party" generally'.' As everybody knows this has been the sum and substance of many for? me- platforms adopted by the party in this section. And, as everybody knows, also, Euch tactics haw- gotten the party nowhere. Tho party is no stronger in the Slate now thai! it was ten years ago. To denounce "the rascals" muy-elicit applause from a few, but wins few if any votes. It is to be hoped, there? fore, that our brethren at Kit bland will turn over a new leaf," and adopt and declare for new articles of faith and practice, in harmony with new and changed conditions under which we find ourselves since the great war, and not ally itself with (ho enemies of pence and organized government, now fomenting ill many parts of our great country. Furthermore, should there be no Democratic candidate for the Sen? ate, it becomes at once apparent that the Democrats of the district, are in? terested in th?' man and his platform us their representative in the Senate of Virginia. To send a man to Rich? mond on a partisan, peanut political plnflorm is to make of the ollicc a dead letter in Richmond and the rep? resentative a figurehead in ihe gen? eral assembly. The Clinch Valley News is not pre? suming to dictate or even advise it-: Republican friendn as to wh.it they shall or shall not do. They will do as they choese. We tin believe, how? ever, thai there are as loyal, pa? triotic men in the Republican party as in our own, and that what we have tried anil ventured to say in this ar? ticle that the majority of public sen? timent .nil) desire is represented, and finally, we express the hope that the ranting, reactionary, peanut politic? ians may not he in control m Rich lands tomorrow, and that the Clinch Valley News may be able to "point with pride" to both the candidate und the platform and not be debarred from giving both its hearty support if it chooses to do so. ELLYSON'S DEATH A LOSS TO THE STATE. The denth of Hon. .1. Taylor Elly son was a loss to the entire State. For half a century be had been a prominent figure in the public life of his State. Ho had hold seme of? fice of trust, fiom Lieutenant Gov? ernor on dAWII?Senator, Mayor of Richmond, trustee of schools and of college:, promicnt in the Confederate camps mid II number of of other posi ious of trust and usefulness. It was no surprise that, lings should lloat at half mast, great crowds assemble and honors should have been heaped upon when he went out. it was us a churchman that Mr. Ellyson performed his most efficient ami enduring service. He was prom? inent in tin? work of the historic Sec? ond Rapt ist Church of Richmond, as was his father before him. For for? ty years, or thereabouts, he was sec? retary of the Education Hoard of the General Baptist Association of Virginia. In this capacity he enabled hundreds of young men to obtain a college education who could not oth? erwise have done so. The Education Hoard was established for the pur? pose of aiding young men preparing for the Baptist ministry to go thru college ami seminary. It was through the untiring efforts of this devoted man that hundreds of the leading pulpits of this State und many in other States were filled yearly by strong preachers. And today, all ov? er Virginia and the South can be found monuments?living monuments to Mr. Ellyson's life-long devotion to the work of the Education Board of Virginia. Every minister whom he helped in his making, und every one letl into a better life through these ministers are trophies?stars in his dazzling crown of rejoicing. Hence, to repeat, it was as a consecrated servant of the Master that James Taylor Ellyson performed his most efficient anil enduring service. Many will sorrow und none more sincerely than the writer of these humble lines, that they shall see his face and feel his warm grasp not here again. Senator Borah urges a referendum on the League cf Nations.?Kx uhungc. What the country woultl ra? ther have is a referendum on Borah. Hon. Joseph Bailey, of Texas, lias tnnounced that that he has taken his leave of the Democratic party. Jo seems to have woke up to the fact that the Democratic party left him long ago. NO CAUSE TO WORRY. (New York Times.) There is no need of impnticncc .vith our Republican friends?rat leas., none with those of them who have votes to cast and responsibilities to recog? nize. A great oeal must be allowed! for polities, a fact of which the Lon? don newspapers are not. aware. When the time comes there will be a league of Nations, anil the work of tin.' Peace Confer* nco will be ratified. tat them argue while they may. It came to many as a surprise when Senator Lodge made known that he woultl support a League of Nations if it were amended, and yet it should not have surprised anybody. He saw defends in the present plan, antl so do a gootl many of its supporters, Prosident I^iwell for instance. The covenant will be amended. Already the Republican Senators ranking be? low Senator Lodge are casually let? ting it be known that they are not violently anil irrevocably against U'.o League. Take Senator Kenyon, of Iowa.

At present, the vote not yet being in order, he fern;; greatly that 'the real substance of hie Monroe doctrine" is being abandoned, and thin "reel substance", he declare- to be "the right, of Amer? ica to scttie American iruestions." ? The Des Moincs Register, published in Senator Kenyon's Sti'.tc, patiently, points out to him that the Monroe I loci cine, as set forth by President Monroe and not Senator Kciiym, does not provide for any such things as "tho right of America to settle the. American questions." It declared,! says the Register, "that European monarchies could not annex the ter-| ritory of any American State nor set up European institutions on the western continent without incurring the hostility of the United Stales." Very well put, and quite a different thing. Neither President Cleveland nor President Johnson nor President itooscvell, all of whom have been accused of extending the Monroe doc-' trine, ever extended it to cover "the right of America to settle Am&ricant questions." , Then there is Senator Morris of, Nebraska. An organ of his, The Lin-! coin Journal, announced that he was irrevocably against nnv league of any kind. The Omaha World-Herald sur-' mines that Mr. Morris began hearing from his constituents; but however that may be, The Lincoln Journal subsequently published a corrective i item Buying that the Senator held no Is tbc'fincst made and the best va'.s woman's money ever bought, because y? lave useless bottles, boxes, etc., a ud the Irtighi )n them, and uut blue instead.
