When he was 16 he proposed to woman

will not.
We should be sorry for the blase people

and their neighbors look for them to be

his bride on visit 10 her people at

Interest in Virginia

Southern Democratic as well as northern
Republican papers continue TO furnish eyi-
dence that the coming fight in Virginia in
wolves far-reaching results. Never so far
ahead of its opening has campaign IN this
State attracted more attention. From
Louisiana again come words that show
that now, as OF yOre, the hope of the South
is conferred upon the Old Dominion. The
New Orleans Times ,7HocrGf says;
"The Virginia campaign this fall should
really be regarded as the most important
political contest which viii then take place
IN the whole country. Ia this campaign the
Old Dominion has been selected 10y the he
pubhcans as the battle-ground where they
Will make their first attempt 20 break the
Solid South That State is now TO be
made the arena of a species OF political
warfare comparable in its import 10 the
military warfare carried on there from lo6l
20 1863
Our New Orleans contemporary then ex-
presses confidence that the Virginia Demo-
Gratis can win if they will "see that the
masses of the party are neither blinded 10y
oyer-confdence nor remain apathetic as
70 their political destiny" and continues ::
"Virrinia owes it to herself and the
whole South TO do her duty IN this cam
paign. There was time she did lar more
than her duty in defence Of the South.
Since the foundation OF this great Govern,
mont that State has been hOnored ana
yenoratcd bv the southern people. The
fame of her statesmen and warriors IS to
dav REGARDED as q common southern hcri-
taGe, and the entire South would feel as
rraced TO behold that ~ ate turned over to
the rule of negroes and renegades."
Is not that an appeal that should stir
the heart Of every true Nirglnlant VIZ
GINA owes it to herself and the whole
South 70 do her duty in this campaign " Is
the cry Of her southern sisters. What bet
ter rallying-cry could our speakers adopt?
But the hope Of the South that Virginia
will 90 Democratic is hardly stronger than
the hope Of the northern Republicans that
the malignants will capture the old state.
Hear how the Boston Traveller pleads that
the MALONE hat I've not sighted when 1t
shall be passed around:
Virginia Republicans should not be LETT
10 wage the battle alone"
Then see how it emphasizes the impor-
lance Of making a supreme effort to crush
out good government in Virginia.
"The present is good time to perma-
nenty end the rule Of the Virginia oil
garchy."
What IS meant by permanently end the
rule of the Virginia oligarchy"? Itmeans
break the solid South, turn it over to the
domination Of the ignorant, vicious, and
malicious, and establish permanent Re
publican rule at Washington. Truly in
the Times Democrat and the Boston Traveller
extremes meet to warn the Democrats OF
Virginia that the grayest issues affecting
the welfare Of the nation may depend upon
the account they shall be able to give Of
themselves in the coming election.

foraise FoRkSER 10 the plano of candidates

FoRAKER's defeat? Will he not rather
leave Foraker to his own devices and let
that fussy mischief-makers sink TO his proper

coed Mr. PAYNE in that body. VIII Hal

saking? Not he. HAIsTKAD is too good a
hater for that. Will Governor Foster
exert himself 20 place FORAKER in that

Not they. Does SHERMAN desire TO have
FORAKER for his colleague? Emphatically
no.
We conclude that Ohio is not certain to
vote the Republican ticket next fall. What
with the saloon question in Cincinnati,
the prohibition question all over the State,
md tho GOODNESS Of the Republican leaders
towards FORAKER there is possibility that
Ohio may next November be found in the
Democratic ranks.

Search for the Pole.

II appears that tho United States will
have to look TO the blue Ribbon" OF
Arctic exploration which LOCKWOOD and
BRAINARD, members of the GsEELY expcdi-
fion. snatched from the British when they
reached So degrees d minutes north lati-
fude, a degrees minutes west Longitude.
DIR. NANsES, the intrepid Norwegian ex-
plorer who recently accomplished the jour
new across Greenland, has announced his
intention of making the closest possible
approach 10 the North Pole, and has raised
500 900 for his expedition. The party
is 10 be a small one composed entirely OF
Norwegans. and so far the plans OF the
leader and his proposed route are III large
measure a secret. About all that Is known
g. that DR.. NANsEN does not propose TO
provide for the retTeat of the party by es-
tablishing stations, but WILL 50 TO speak,
burn the bridges behind him and only
turn back when he is forced TO
do SO. and will then endeavor to
reach the nearest settlement. On its
face such an expedition certainly looks
like foolhardiness and we are not surprised
e. find some of our contemporaries again
inveighing against Arctic exploration and
commenting, without producing the hg-
ures, upon what they term the enormous
los Of life" Arctic expeditions have IN
Volved. But il should be remem-
] cred that we are much in the dark
a. to the details of DIR. NANsEN's
Greenland voyage. He did not find the
babiiable country that was said to exist IN
the centre Of Greenland. and so the world
was informed, but there is no telling what
Lee discovered or what experience he
net with that justifes his confidence
in undertaking his search for the
pole. He may be much wiser than
The critics Of Arctic explorers and the
sopposers of Arctic research. Certainly, as
far as can be judged his Greenland trip
was admirably managed, both as to the
method Of the voyage and the equipment
Of the expedition. Besides. all the press
may say cannot rub ont the facts which are
