The visginla Debs.
RICHMOND, Dec. l3.--In both Houses
of the Legislature joint resolution was
introduced by Democratic members de-
claring that the people of Virginia ac-
cepted the Act of February, 1892 known
as the kiddIebsrger bill. as the ultimate
settlement Of the dest of the State, and
that 1t is their unaiterable purpose that
this settlement shall be final. and any
expectation that a settlement of the
debt upon any other basis will ever be
made or tolerated by the people of Viz
ginia Is absolutely illusory aud hope
less: that the interests of the public
creditors as well as the safety and vel
rare OF the State require that the settle
meht be accepted by the creditors as
well AS by the State: therefore the Cen
eral Assembly, in behalf of all the peo-
PIE OF the State, advise and call upon
the holders of all bonds and claims
against the commonwealth to come for
ward and fund the same under the pro-
Visions of said Act. The Governor will
be requested to communicate these reso-
lions TO the holders of bonds and claims
against the State.

THE PEOPLE ARE Watching
The battle of 1884 is by no means
fought and won. For many reasons
the chances are with the Democrats,
because the people are with them in
thought. To make them so in deed is
the chief work henceforth.
The result of the fall elections will
be followed by the assembling of the
forty eighth Congress, whose House of
Representatives is largely Democratic.
1t was made Democratic with a pur-
pose-that Of reform and the perfect
ing of wise legislation. The first ses-
sion will be watched closely by the
voters irrespective of party, and the
record must be good to keep the peo-
pie in the frame of mind that will lead
them to favor the elevation of Demo-
cratic Executive.
Doubtless if the election for presi-
dent could be held this fall the result
would be great Democratic triumph.
But a year intervenes, and it is a long
time to justify too much confidence.
the opportunity is clearly with the
Democrats, but It requires eternal vigi-
lance to keep it with them in its origi-
nal strength fortwelve months Rome

As to the Post, there are few in this

in 1921, it is the oldest paper of its
kind in America, and for more than
half century it has been recognized
AS the leading Literary and Family
journal in the United States. For the

Prose and Verse; Fact and Fiction.
A record of over sixty years of con-
'inuous publication proves its wortl,

missed an issue. Its fiction is of the
highest Order-the best original Sto-
ries, Sketches and Narratives of the
day. 1t is peri, city free from the de-
grading and polIuting trash which
characttrizes many other so-called lit

Heroes and Heroines of the Border

In American history there are NJ
more interesting figures than the He
roes and Heroines of the Border. Bold
dashlng, adventurous and patriotic
loyal to friends and to the interests O
society, their work was singularly eff
fective in the advancement of Amer
can civilization. With seeming reck
lessness, their efforts were in the inter
est of law and order, and the people
owe them a debt Of gratitude they dc
not forget. Their page in history is as
fascinating as it is honorable, and
there is a peculiar pleasure in reading
the narrative of their wonderful ex.
PLOTS. The times which produced those
heroes and heroines mark a period in
American history of absorbing interest
alike to old and young. 1t is proper
that it should be so. These hardy pi-
oneers coupled virtue with courage,
humanity and love of country with the
stern duties Of frontier life and battle,
and the example Of their lives not only
interests but Strengthens our faith and
admiration IN human courage and un-
selfish purpose.
In American pioneer history there
are three distinct eras marked as dis
tlnctly by three geographical divis-
ions; from the Allegheny Mountains
to t. the Mississippi, marking the first;
from the Mississippi to the Rocky
Mountains, the second; California and
the Pacific Slope, the third. The set
Element OF these vast regions developed
great leaders, whose achievements have
made them justly and widely famous.
They have a warm place in the hearts
OF the people, and a prominent one in
their admiration. It is appropriate
that their achievements should be re-
corded, and we note with pleasure the
forthcoming of a new book, now ready,
from the press of n. D. Thompson 4
Co., Publishers, New York and St.
Louis, Mo-, called: "Conquering the
Wilderness, or New Pictorial History Of
the Life and Times Of the Pioneer He
roes and Heroines Of America." 1t is
written by Col. Frank Triplett, an ac-
complished writer, whose literary quail
ltcatlons and great experience on the
frontiers are said to eminently fit him
for so noble task.
A special feature of the book is it's
apt and profuse illustration, embracing
22o superb engravings, illustrating in
cidents and persons-the latter embra-
cling nearly 100 life-ike portraits of
pioneer leaders, men and women, which
make it a sort of picture gallery, as well
as book of thrilling narrative, that
will led to the book charm and in
terest not to be resisted. 1t is sold by
subscription, through canvassing agents
and presents an opportunity to
agents to make money especially invi-
ting. We advertise it in another

"mat our yesterdays have brought US
What our yesterdays have taught us
viii be of no advantage
II we're always looking back.
There's no use in looking back,
=, Every day and date recalling:
Twas here we made good progress,
twas there we left tie track:
MOI oy constant retrospection
viii we ever reach perfection:
Inc past is ours no longer,
There's no use in looking back.
There's no use in looking back,

Lest he should be disheartened
,,,, And strength and courage lack;
through paths not always pleasant
we reach the golden present;
The goal is still before us,
lhere's no use in looking back.
There's no use In looking back,
AND remembering with horror
Those weary days and hours
When the soul was on the rack;
For he who wins life's prizes
From grief and gloom arises,
And early learns the lesson:
There's no use in looking back.
Wen never reach the mountain
II we linger in the valley;
Wen never win the battle
If we never make attack;
And the toes we put behind us
May seek but fail to find US,
Ii we overcome the habit
Of forever looking back.

THERE Is a growing demand fe

THERE is growing demand for
the whipping post in many parts of
the country. Two reasons are urged
in its beealf. One is that at least one
half of those who commit brutal crimes
DO not regard imprisonment as any pun
ishment. They would regard good
whipping, however, as a terrible and
a disgraceful punishment. The other
reason is that if the whipping post was
In use, a State, and all the counties Of

a source OF regret to great many per-

him no other alternative. He had to
decide between interest and duty, and,

SOME MATRIMONIAL ADVICE.

Just now when everybody seems
matrimonially inclined the following
on many lovers may be interesting -
You will find, as rule, that the
men who are favorites with men are
! the best and truest in their relations
with women. Yes, the men who some
times turn their backs on all women
and Ego off with the other fellows and
have a good boyish time on the water
or the mountain or in some other mans
den." Women need never be afraid
to trust their happiness to those whom
other good men esteem good fellows;
but if q man is avoided by men, how
ever much women admire him, shun
him. 1t is he who has firtations that
come to nothing and has not been very
nice to the girl who has broken the
engagement with him; who, when he
marries, wrings his wife's heart, if she
has one, and spoils her temper if she
is an angel. Many men are the best
lovers, the best husbands, the best
companions for women just as woman
ly women are the best sweethearts and
wives. What do we think of women
who are Stunned by their own sex
however charming men may find theml
1t is seldom, if ever that your mems
favorite ill-uses his wife. Perhaps it
may be explained in this way: Friend
ship of sublimer sort is what love
becomes a year or so after marriage,
and he who is friendly to the very
depths Of his soul enters into this state
happily and is ready for all the de-
lights that follow. But the man who
is capable Of nothing but a fleeing af-
lection, which is ever in pursuit of a
new object, and cares for no woman
when she is won, hates the domestic
ties, and becomes detestable in conse-
quence. It is the man who would die
for his friend and for whom his tried
friend would die who makes miracu-
lousy happy wife of the woman to
whom he scarcely knew how to make
love when he courted her.
