Of the James, during the following
winter. SO Lee was among the first to
give his life to Virginia. With refer
ence to the above Sir Robert Lee, it is
worthy Of mention that as one Lee was
Mayor Of London when Elizabeth came
10 her crown, SO was there another
Lee Mayor of London when she left it.
The first was Sir Thomas Lee, son of
Roger Lee, of Wellington, in Shrop-
shire. The other, the aforesaid Sir
Robert Lee, son Of Humphrey Lee. of
Bridgenoith, in Shropshire, whence the
Virginia family halls. The early re-
cords Of the State are very imperfect,
and exactly when Mr.. Richard Lee first
came TO Virginia | do not know, but at
least three Of the name (Lee) came to
Virginia prior to 1924, and at least ten
Of the name came to Virginia in 1855,
the same year that Mr.. John Wise sail
cd from London.
The Phoenix, vessel which had
been. in 1905, in the service of Captain
Charles Lee, in Guiana, was one Of the
two ships which sailed from London in
1907 with the first supplies for the col
ony in Virginia. The Lees were among
the founders of Virginia, and, as far as
know, they have always been TRUE Ia
Virginia.
The old Wises, too, were VirginianS
and they were always as true as stee
to their old mother; they never gave
the slightest aid or comfort to the Sian
derers of Virginia, and, therefore,
cannot understand many Of the reported
sayings and acts of some Of the family
in the present generation. Arc they
full-blooded NirginianS?

A special telegram from Richmond
to the Baltimore american (Republl-
cam says:
alt was stated that Malone has
given instructions to his adherents to
trade votes for Governor for votes Tor
members Of the Legislature in all
doubtful counties"
We are not surprised at that. Not
ONLY would MALONE not hesitate to
sacrifice WISE in order to secure
his own reelection to the United
States Senate, but it is safe to say
that in one aspect WISE would
lose nothing by being thus sacrificed.
If MALONE shall be able to have
himself reelected to the Senate, he will
be able to make WISE Commissioner
of Sales and place his other leading
partisans on the circuit benches. The
Democratic fight for the close counties
is not simply fight to kill MALONE
politically; it is also fight to keep all
of his prominent followers from being
placed in positions where they can do
mischief.

/ suppose that there is not IN the
whole world a monarch so despotlc a
the Burmese Emperor. He is consli-
cred. by himself and others, absolute
lord Of the lives, properties. and per-
sonal services Of his subjects; he exalts
and depresses. coniers and takes away
honor and rank and, without any pro-
cess Of law, can put to death not only
criminals guilty Of capital offences, but
any individual who happens to incur his
displeasuTe. 1t is here a perllous
thing for person to become distin
guishcd for wealth and possessions
for the day may easily come when he
will be charged with some supposed
crime. and so put to death, in order
that his property may be coniiscated.
Every subject is the Empcror's born
slave; and when he calls any one his
slave he thinks thereby to do him
honor. 70 express their sense of this
subiection, all who approach him are
obliged to PROSTATE themselves before
him, holding their hands joined above
their heads. Hence, also, he cOnsid-
ers himself entitled to employ his SUBJ
iccts in any work or. service without
salary or paw. and if he makes them
any rccompense, it is done not from any
sense of Justice, but as an act Of boun-
ty. Their goods likewise, and even
,ieir persons, are rcputed his property.
and On this ground it is that he selects
for his concubine any female that may
chance to please hi, eye. The possess
,ions Of all who die without heirs belong
20 the King. as do those Of foreigner,
who have not married in the coun-
try. for they are not allowed to dis
pose Of them, not even in favor Of their

though despotism in its worst form
constitutes, as it were, the very essence
Of the Burmese monarchy, 50 that to
be called its King is equivalent TO being

YAH. the despot who for the past
twenty-seyen years has governed this
kingdom, so tar outstripped his prede-
cessors in barbarity and pride that
whose but hears Of it must shuddeI
with horror. His very countenance is
the index of a mind ferocious and inhu
man in the highest degree. Immense
| is the number of those whom he ma
sacrificed to his ambition upon the mos
trivial offences; and it would not be al
exaggeration to assert that during hi
reign more victims have fallen by thu
hand Of the executioner than by tn
sword Of the common enemy. To thi
atrocious cruelty he has united prid
at once intolerable and impious.

EXPLORING ALASKA.
Lieutenant Aliens Great EHUedltion-A Per-
ilous Journey.

Lieutenant Aliens Great EXDedltion-A Per-
ilous Journey.
A Chicago special says: General
Nelson A. Miles, who is in the city,
received a telegram yesterday from
Lieutenant Henry 7. Allen, Of the Sec
ond cavalry, stating that he had ar
rived safely at San Francisco after his
Alaska explorations, having completed
a Journey through the regions Of the
far North. which, in the opinion of Cen
eral Miles, excelled all eXplora-
tons on the American continent since
Lewis and Clarke, and the world s
record since Livingston. Lieutenant
Allen left Sitka last February, and
iourneyed to the mouth Of the Copper
river. which he followed until he
reached the great Alaskan range OF
mountains. These he crossed on snow
shoes to the head of the Tennah river,
in itself a marvellous accomplishment.
For 700 or 500 miles he followed the
Tennah until it emptIed into the Iakon,
the great river of the North. to It's
mouth, distance of 400 or 500 miles
more. Upon the completion Of his great
Journey Lieutenant Allen repaired to
Fort Michel, on the Behring's. and re-
turned on the steamer Corwin. The
exploration Of the Tenuah and Takon
rivers has been the ambition Of eXplo-
rers before Alaska came into possession
Of the United States, but the Russians
failed each time it was attempted.
Since then several expedition, by
American officers have ended in failure
until among the army officers on the
Pacific coast the feat came to be con
sidcred wellnigh impossible. Lieuten.
ant Aliens companions were a sergeant
and an officer Of the signal corps, to
| gether with the Indians whom he per
suadod to join him.

Nrhich WI Ya Choose2

The National Republican continues
TO harp upon the GLORIOUS " results
Of the Ohio elections and their bearing
upon the Virginia contest. And the
happier the Republican grows the more
clearly it indicates the duty Of the Vir-
ginia Democrats. Hear it:
"If the Virginia Republicans had
been privileged TO order and arrange
political events with sole reference to
the success OF their own campaign, they
would have said Tho best possible
thing for us will be a Republican victo-
~ in Ohio
"If the Ohio Republicans had been
resolved on making such campaign a
should give the greatest possible en-
couragement to their brethren in Vir-
ginia, they could have done nothing
wiser than that which they did il
making political liberty the chief ISSUE
and winning the fight on it,"
After that declaration can any Vir
sinian doubt that the Virginia Repub
licans and the northern mslignants ar
in full sympathy with one another

The clOseness of the election in re-
gard to the complexion of the Legisla-
ture and the choice of United States
senator indicates, so far as it relates to
national issues, that the extreme utter
ances of Senator Sherman in the early
part of the campaign were not received
with favor by the voters of Ohio any
more than by the thoughtful Republi-
cans Of the nation at large; and if
there has been any doubt as to the re-
suit after the scandals accompanying
the rejection OF Senator Pendleton and
civil-service reform and the election Of
Payne, it has doubtless been mainly
due to this cause.-Procidencc jour-
nal.

ginia orators.
What would those malignants say to
the people whom they have recently
traduced and vilifed so freely?
Wherever JOHN S. WISE speaks
hereafter he should be questioned as to
whether he is or is not in favor Of
SHERMAN's proposition to deprive the
South Of portion of her voting strength
in Congress.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:

10 the EdttOr OF me D'sPdtch
From the reports of Mr.. John S.
Wise's speeches in your paper it seems
that Mr.. Wise is under the impression
that his ancestor, " John Wise, came to
this country two hundred and fifty years
ago--long before Lee had set his foot
on the land" If correctly reported,
Mr.. Wise is under a false impression.
Captain Charles Lee landed in this
country in 1898, and again in 1897.
He afterwards went to Guiana, South
America, where he died March 90, 1905.
Among the members of the Virginia
Company of London-the founders Of
the Colony of Virginia (l606-l624-
were Sir Francis Lee, Sir Robert Lee,
Mr.. Henry Lee, and Mr.. Richard Lee.
Mr.. Henry Lee landed in Virginia

Your Work.

you cannot shit your duty 10 a"y
other mans shoulders. II will be done
hv you or il will not be done at all.
But all are not called upon to do the
same work. one has gifts as speaker.
II is his duty to make speeches. An
other has no such gifts, but has money
10 snare. II is his duty to give pecu
mar aid To the good cause Of the Dem
ocracy. Another is a fine talker. 1t
;s his duty to talk to his neighbors.
Another is well posted in campaign
literature. 1t is his duty to inform
any of his neighbors who may need to
have their zeal enkindled by facts and
fpures. Another is Jealous worker
active. with large vitality. and rejoicing
in his strength. 1t is his duty to 90
from place to'place and try to warm up
tbe zeal Of the less favored. There are
hundred ways in which men anxious
IN serve their State and country can
relieve themselves Of the weight Of OBJ
LEGATION which rests upon them as Dem
ocrats. as yirginians, as patriots. Either
find or make a way to assist the writers
sneakers. workers, takers, and others
who have done all that has been done
up to this time.
But you will say, as some OF the
members of the State Central Commit
tee said last Wednesday, that there are
not twenty-five white men in your
county who will vote the MALONE
ticket next month. So much the more
reason for calling into requisition the
services of all the Democrats able and
willing to work, or walk. or talk, for
the good cause, since it is apt to
be the case that where there
are no white Mahoneites, the De-
mocrats are not stirred up as they
oupbt TO he. But even if every Demo-
crat keeps his armor bright and never
misses an opportunity to strike blow
for FITZ LEE, there are negroes who
can be reasoned with, or else the
Democratic theory is wrong which ex-
plained the solid vote of the negroes
for the Republican ticket in past years
as LARGELY due to the fact that all the
Government Offices were in the posses
sion of the Republicans. We con-
fess that the negroes Of Richmond,
and we presume of all the cities
are Joined to their Republican idols,
but gentlemen from the country tell us
that there will be in some of the coun'
ties sprinkliDg Of negro votes cast fol
the Democratic candidates. lfyou car
persuade even one negro to vote th'
Democratic ticket, you will double
your own voting strength, so to speak
We advise nobody to waste time upoi
the negroes who are afraid of men O
their own race. These are totally un
reasoning, and can never be counte
upon until in their neighborhood NJ
groes enough vote the Democratic tick'
to form a club and keep one another
countenance.
We repeat that you cannot shit yor
duty upon anybody else's shoulder
. and that there are numerous ways
assisting the Democrats to grand vi
tory on the Sd of November. See tn
you do your duty. See that in tn
crisis you render some service, hoy
ever little, TO your country. So sh'
you qualify and entiIle yourselves
take part in the rejoicing ceremoni
that will follow soon after election-da
