THURSDAY, MARCH, 31,1898.
UNION OF REPUBLICANS FOR VIR?
GINIA.
Virginia is wallowing in the mire of
politiea. degradation. It is under the con?
trol of the most unscrupulous political
machine that has ever dominated the gov?
ernment of any free people. By fraud
and corruption the will of the people is
set at naught and their duly elected rep
rtsentatives in Congress defrauded of their
seats, and the halls of our State legisla?
ture tilled with men who are placed there,
by false returns, to do the bidding of the
machine that has created them.
Our State is made to sutler this shame
under the pretense of saving it from Re?
publican rule or negro domination. We
are forced to submit to the Operations of
nn election law and election methods that
are at complete variance with popular
government. In Federal elections there
is chance of rectifying the wrongs that are
committed by the Virginia machine.
The House of Representatives is empow?
ered to say who shall constitute its mem?
bers. It has in more than one case ex?
posed to view the outrageous frauds com?
mitted in the Fourth Congressional dis?
trict and seated men who bad been cheat?
ed out of the returns. Last week Mr.
Thorp, who had been twice robbed of the
returns in the Fourth district, was seated
in Congress, and two other seats are now
being contested by Republicans from Vir?
ginia, who were counted out by the
machine in 18%.
In State elections it is difficult to reach
the election robbers. They are entrenched
behind laws that were made for their pro?
tection and for the benefit of the machine.
So, wholesale r-aud will continue and Vir?
ginia.shame be intensified, unless the: peo?
ple rise in their might and drive the
machine from power.
There are many Democrats in the Stale
who are disgusted with ami humiliated by
the conduct of the so-called Democratic
organization. They agree with it in noth?
ing but its hostility to Republicanism.
That hostility is the outgrowth of a senti?
ment that has been fostered for years in
our S ate by the designing men who have
controlled the Democratic party and ma?
nipulated the ballot boxee. It has also
been kept alive by the discordant leader?
ship of the Republican party. We can
safely say that there are thousands of men
in Virginia who agree with the Republi?
cans on nearly all questions and who
would be in the ranks of the Republican
party but for the unpopular leadership of
oar party and the constant wranglings
which bring it into disrepute. On the
tariffand financial questions a great num?
ber of voters in Virginia are now in ac?
cord with the views of the National Re?
publican party, but bold aloof from the
State Republican organization because
they do not respect the leadership of
the party. These men, who have been
acting with the Democratic party for
years; are reluctant to cut loose from their
old moorings and unite with a party that
is split into factious, and whose leaders
they have reason to believe are more am?
bitious to control patronage than to ad?
vance the interests of the party in
Virginia.
With a united, harmonious organiza?
tion, directed by unselfish, patriotic lead?
ership, Republicanism would gather into
its folds zealous, influential men who still
act with the Democrats from force of
habit, or who are repelled from Republi?
canism by the unwise and discordant con?
duct of its leaders.
It is clear to our minds that relief from
the degradation which the machine is in
Hiding upon the Commonwealth can
never come from the Democratic party or
any part of it. Those Democrats who are
honest and want fair elections will always
be powerless to effect any purification in
the organization which the machine con?
trols so completely. If reform comes it
must be by the power and work of the
Republican party or some other organiza?
tion. This being true, it should be a great
incentive to Republican harmony and
unification. To be attractive the party
must be strong and to be strong, it must
be united and patriotic. Let there be a
union of the Republicans for Virginia and
its welfare.
NOT THE CASE.
During the business depression which
prevailed in 1S96 the Populists and Free
eilverites of all parties very confidently as?
cribed the low prices and stagnation to
the low price of silver. They asserted
that as long as the price of silver bullion
was low that agricultural products would
be correspondingly low.and the only way
to relieve the situation was[to havefree.un
litnited coinage of silver. The results
that have followed the triumph of S?und
Money and Protection in the election of i
1S96 have placed the Free Siverites and I
all their wild theories at tea. There has
been a steady improvement in business
until it Las now reached a most satisfac?
tory stage. Strange to say the price of
silver has gone down but there has been a
handsome advance in agricultural pro?
ducts. A table has been compiled from
the riles of the Oajaba "World-Herald"
which is regarded as the leading free silver
organ of the West. We give the table
below. The first column is taken from
the market quotations in the "World
Herald"' the day the Chicago platform was
adopted, while the second column is
taken from the market quotations in the
same paper on the 10th of March, 1S9S.
They are very significant and show the
absurdity of the Popocrabc theories :

Is New York they have a road law
which makes the State the chief factor in
road improvement. The road construc?
tion is placed in charge of a State engi?
neer. When a petition is made by a
majority of abutting property owners foi
the building of a telford, macadam or
gravel road the engineer investigates the
situation, and if the petition meets with
his approval the improvement is made.
One half of the cost of the work is paid by
the State, 35 per cent, by the county and
15 percent, by the land owners who are
benefited. The New York law is a good
one but can not be ccpied in Virginia, be?
cause of the financial embarrassments of
our State.
The predictions of the free traders that
our foreign trade would be contracted by
the Dingley bill have proven themselves,
like all their theories, 1 without foundation
Our foreign trade was more extensive un?
der the McKinley law than it had ever
been before, but declined alarmingly when
the Wilson law was substituted. The Pro?
tection Hag is once more flying over our
land and the result is a greatly increased
foreign trade.
The Richmond "Times" says that it is
understood that Col. W. F. Wickam may
be a candidate for the Republican nomina?
tion for Congress in the Fourth district
next fall. Col. Wickham is a good man
but it would be doubtful policy for him to
run without there is a complete reconcilia?
tion between the two Republican factions
in the State. He is state cbairuian of the
Lamb faction.
Those bloodthirsty fellows who de
maud that we shall have war with Spain,

It is certain that Mr. Gladstone, the
"Grand Old Man" of England, is rapidly
approaching death. His death will not
only be a loss to England but to humanity
the world over.
Theke are not so many persons crying
for war now as a few weeks ago. Men
begin to see the wisdom of the Adminis?
tration in its efforts to prevent bloodshed.
The "Clinch Valley News" has declared
for Hon. W. F. Rhea for Congress. It

Misrepresentation a Public Offense.
Louisville "Courier-Journal" (Dem.)
People who are trying to make political
capital by misrepresenting the steps taken
for the public defense are public enemies.
The newspapers, of course, will try to get
all the news they can. That is their bus
ness, in the absence of official sources,
but so long as they act in good faith they
are not to blame even if much of their
news should ultimately turn out to be un?
founded. But there is no excuse for news?
papers that deliberately invent news, es?
pecially when these inventions are intend?
ed fo embarrass public authorities in the
discharge of their duties.

THE CREW OF 1 HE MAINE.
Speech cf Robert G. Cousins, of Iowa,
on the Relief Billl.
"Congressional Record," March 21.]
.Mr. Speaker, whether this measure shall
prevail, either in the form which it has
come from the committee or in the form
as propojeil in the amemlent, it is both
appropriate and just; but hardly is it men
tionable in contemplation of the great
calamity to which it appertains. It will be
an incidental legislative footnote to a page
of history that ?hall be open to the eyes of
this Republic and of the world for all time
to come. No human speech can add any?
thing to the silent gratitude, the speech?
less reverence already given >by a great
and grateful nation to its dead defenders
and to their living kin. No act of Con
giess providing for their needs can make
a restitution for their sacrifice. Human
nature dees, in human wars, its best, and
still feJs deep in debt.
Expressions of condolence have come
from every country and from every clime,
and every nerve of steel and ocean cable
has tarried on electric breath the sweetest,
tendereet words of sympathy for that gal?
lant crew who manned the Main?. Rut
no human recompense can reach them.
Humanity and time remain their ever?
lasting debtors. It was a brave and strong
and splendid crew. They were a part of
the blood and bone and sinew of our land.
Two of them were from my native State of
Iowa. ^
Some were only recently at the United
?states Naval Academy, where they had
so often heard the morning and the Eve?
ning salutation to the Hag?that flag which
had been interwoven with the dearest
memories of their lives, that had colored
all their friendships with the lasting blue
of tiue fidelity. But whether they came
from naval school or civil life, from one
State or another, they called each other
comrade?that gem of human language
which sometimes means but a little less
than love and a little more than friend?
ship, that gentle salutation of the human
heart which lives in all the languages of
man, that winds and turns and runs
through all the joys and sorrows of the
human race, through deed and thought
and dream, through song and toil and
battlefield.
No foe had ever challenged them. The
world can never know how brave they
were. They never knew defeat; they
never shall. While at their posts of duty
sleep lured them into the abyss: then
death unlocked their slumbering eyes but
for an instant to behold its dreadful car?
nival, most of them just when life was full
of hope and all its tides were at their
highest, grandest flow; just when the early
sunbeams were falling on the steeps of
fame and flooding all life's landscape far
out into the dreamy, distant horizon; just
at that age when all the nymphs were
?making diadems and garlands, waving
laurel wreaths before the eyes of youug
.md eager nature?just then, when death
seemed most unnatural.
Hovering above the dark waters of that
myterious harbor of Hahana, the black
winged vulture watches for the belated
lead, while over it and over all there is
the eagle's piercing eye sternly watching
for the truth. (Applause.)
Whether the appropriation carried by
this resolution shall be ultimately charged
to fate or to some foe shall soon appear.
Meanwhile a patient and a patriotic peo?
ple, enlightened by the lessons of our his?
tory, remembering the woes of war, both
to the vanquished and victorious, are
ready foi the truth and ready for their
duty.
The tumult and the shouting dies?
The captains and the kings depart
Still stands thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and a contrite heart.
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget?lest we forget.
(Loud and continued applause,)

PERSONAL MENTION.
The three sons of Lobengula are now
being educated at Capetown at the expense
of the Chartered Company.
Mme. Sarah Bernhardt has since her
recent serious operation, been occupying
apartments at Saint Germain where she is
convalescing rapidly.
Dr. F. Watts, R. A.,is firmly oppssed to
the use of birds' plumage for millinery pur?
poses and is now painting a picture which
will set forth his views.
Senator Mason's constituents have given
further proof of their regard by presenting
to Mrs. Mason a portrait of her son Law?
rence, who died in 1892.
Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont widow of the
famous "pathfinder," is living in Califor?
nia, and is one of the most prominent
women in the philanthropic work of that
State.
Hon."Jerry" Simpson, of Kansas, was
away from the capital only two weeks,
but in that time he visited each of the
thirty-six counties which constitute bis
Congressional district.
The Marquis of Salisbury, who is at
present ill, has been in public life since
1854, when at the age of 24,he first entered
Parliament. His lordship's full name is
Robert Arthur Talbot Gascogne Cecil.
Frederick Tennyson, brother of Lord
Tennyson, and himself a poet of consider?
able merit, who has just died, was noted
for his great gentleness and kindness,
which he impartially bestowed upon all
with whom he came in contact.
Representative Cousins, of Iowa, who
created such enthusiasm in the House by
his recent eloquent tribute to the Maine
heroes, has made one set speech during
his five years, service in that body. That
was at the time the House proposed to
censure Amdassador Bayard for some of
his utterances.
CURRENT TOPICS.
Petrified human remains are made to
order at Crookston, Mo. Pheenie Finn, a
colored woman of the place, serves as the
model from which plaster casts are made
for fraudulent museums exhibits, and she
has earned a comfortable living in this way
for many years. The average price of a
petrified human body made of plaster of
paris and clay, and so skillfully treated as
to appear to be genuine, is $100.
"Fancy meeting you!" is the latest
importation of idiotic London slang. It is
now in current use in the city of its con?
ception as a crushing retort in quarrels,
disputes and witty encounters, though no
one knows or cares what it may mean.
The expression comes from a music hall
ditty sung in the provinces, and the accent
is laid hard on the last word "you.''
Because there is no money forth-coming
for its support the Confederate Soldiers,
Home at Atlanta, G'a., is advertised for
sale. The State has refused to receive it.
The Home was built largely through the
efforts of the late Henry W. Grady.
An army of cranks has besieged John P.
Holland, the inventor of the submarine
torpedo boat, ever since be commenced his
experiments with the vessel ac Perth Am
boy, N. J. Most of the cranks desire per?
mission to accompany .Mr. Holland on one
of his trial trips, merely for the novelty of
the thing. A large percentage of the ap?
plicants are women.
Washington, D. C, has at least one
newsboy who knows something about the
journals he handles. When called by a
prospecti\e purchaser of a paper be asks:
"White or yellow?"
Three hundred separate charges of run?
ning an unlicensed saloon were recently
brought against Michael Callahan, of
Wheeling, W. Va. He was acquitted on
each count on Tuesday last. Had he been
covicted, his fines would have amounted
to $0,000.
NO GROUND FOR PANIC
The Imminence of War is Not Les?
sening Trade Operations.
Dun's Review of Trade for last week
said:
With more than $.14,000,000 received or
on the way with ample bank reserve and
treasury reserves rising, with no stringency
in any money market and with failures
nearly 30 per cent, smaller than last year,
there is not much visible ground for panic,
even if efforts should fail to keep peace with
honor.
Industrial operations have not been
perceptibly affected, except where the ex?
traordinary buying for some week has
made it necessary to pause for breath or
Where unnatural prices had caused a halt
before the destruction of the Maine.
Cotton has fallen a sixteenth in spite of
largeiexports because of evidences that the
curtailment of acreage will he less than was
expected.
As a panic does not come when men are
waiting for it there is general anxiety to
have an end of the delay. In the stock
market there is more disposition to con
sidei earnings, which cannot be cut off by
foreign troubles, and in March thus far
they ate 18.7 per cent, larger then last
year.
It is impossible to lake dismal views
wbenlhe nation is surpassing all records in
the market products. Atlantic coast ex?
ports of wheat for the week have been 2,
1G0.S20 bushels, with Pacific coast exports
of 4,232,032 bushels. The price has de?
clined 27.8. Corn has declined only a
fraction. Domestic exports from New
York in two weeks have been $0,108,000.
The sales of wool have been only 11,411,
