DIED:-At Green Hill, on Sat.
urday, April goth, 1893. Mrs. Mil,
lie E., beloved wife Of John w
Bird; born in Rockingham county
April goth, 1910; married Jan. %
1868. After twenty-five years OF
active and useful life in an earthly
home adorned according to her
taste and kept with constant care
she was called to that more gIori-
Gus home prepared in her Father
house above.
Mrs. Bird made profession Of her
faith i'll Christ and united with the
Presbyterian church in Lewisburg,
Va. in 1868, from which she re-
moved by letter Of dismission to
join with others, in 1878, in the or
ganization Of Beulah church, Mill
Gap, of which her husband after
wards became a ruling elder. Her
attachment to the church of her
choice was strong. To it she chung
with rare devotion till the last me-
ment Of life. She will be greatly
missed in the church as well as by a
large circle Of relatives and friends
in the community. Objects of her
loving attention and regard, they
cheerfully ministered around her
dying bed and will ever tenderly
cherish her memory. A sufferer
for many years, as we'll as during
the protracted weeks Of trial just
preceding her death, she is now at
rest in that happy land, no one of
whose inhabitants shall ever say
II am SICK" and where sorrow and
shall never come. Qui-
city and peacefully as the Summer
evenings sun sets behind the hori-
zen, so calmly set the sun Of her
life to rise the moment after amid
the splendors of an eternal day. o.!

Some persons seem to misnnder-
stand the provision of the stock law
in Blue Grass District and we pre-
pose again to give our views of it;
The Board of supervisors adopted
the stock law, from HeVe store
to the Bath county line, and no one
is allowed to let their horses, cattle,
sheep or hogs run at large. Any
one violating this law will be liable
to a fine Of five dollars for each Of
Tense besides damages. So we adj
wise all persons who wish to keep
out of trouble not to allow their
property to go without their en-
closures.

the MONT, the people should evince
that interest in the towns affairs
that would imprl them to get up d
slate Of suitable men for trustees
and see that they are elected. The
town seems to be dissatisfied With
the present inenmbents, and they
in turn are eddallJ tired Of their
positions: however, in jnstice to the
present board we must say that de-
spite past irregularities and the
fact that more might have been
done; our town has been greatly
benefited under their management.
People should not expect too much ;
they cannot expect a small town,
governed by officers drawing no
salary whatever, Except the small
pittanee allowed the sargeant) to
inaugurate and maintain laws and
regulations us is done in cities un-
der the care Of officers, who receive
generous salaries for services rem
dered. Neither should we expect
in officer to patrol the streets day
and night for mere trife, Only a
limited amount can be raised each
year for improvements, and if no
further benefits accrue from it's ex-
penditure than that Of having good
walks we should not kick so siren
aously. More walks are needed
and can be built this year without
going in debt as what is now down
is paid for. A spirit of cooperation
rather than one of discomfort
and fault-fndin5 on the part of the
town at large will stimulate our
trustees to greater efforts in the
line Of duty. Work, one to the
of the other, and the re-
suit must be a better state Of affairs
I'll round. Let the new board,
when elected. hold regular meet
ings, and not only meet once in
while Let them meet all appli-
,ants for liquor license with q fiat
refusal as has Leen the custom
heretofore; in short, let them come |
up to the requirements of their OBJ
legations, regardless of what 9TH
rs say, thereby bringing unto
themselves that ease Of conscience
that comes with the sense of duty |
met and performed. When an Of
Iicer has done this he virtually |
shuts himself in from open criti-
cism and only those who are $50

John L. Stevens, United States Minister, HON.
Olulu:
Your dispatch telegraphed from San Fran
cisco announcing the revolution and sssab-
lishment of provisional government was 70
ceived to-day (2SD. Your course in rocoRni.
ton OF an unopposed dc facto government
appears to have been diacreet and in accord
ance with the facts. The rule of this gov
ernment has uniformly been to recognize
and enter into relations With any actual
government, III full possession of effective
power with the assent of tho people. You
will continue to recognize tho new govern
ment under such conditions.
1t is trusted that tho change, besides con.
ducing to the tranquility and welfare of tho
Hawaiian islands, will tend to draw clo0eS
the intimate ties of amity and common in
terests, which SO conspicuously and neces-
sarlly ally them TO the United States. You
will keep constant communication with the
commander of the United States naval forco
at Honolulu, with tho view of acting. if
need be, for the protection of the interests
and property OF American citizens, and aid
ing in the preservation of good order un-
der the changed condition reported.

Secretary Foster also gave out for publica-
ton statement defending the landing Of

for submitting the following proposition,
namely: That section 1, article 5, of the
constitution of the state of Kansas be
amended % that the same shall read - fol-

birth who have resided in this state one year

become citizens of the United States, con-
formable to the laws of the United States on

appearance in Wyoming Monday afternoon.
At that time m area of low barometer and
high temperature for this season of the year
covered the entire west and southwest The
cold wave came in contact with the warm
area Monday night, and battle royal b.
gan. Tine must give way for the other The
cold wave bore down hard from the north
west and forced, slowly but surely, itself
through into the warm area.
The cold was intense enough to neutralize
the heat and the high pressure drove wedge
shape into the low. The lev pressure was
separated into two sections. one of winch.
the lower, was driven slowly but firmly back
down through the Panhandle of Texas and
the upper portion was pressed forward in its
naturally northeasterly course much moro
rapidly than it would otherwise have gone
over the lakes and out the St Lawrence val
ley. The cold forced it's way southwark a.
far a tho Panhandle and sterly to Little
hook, from which it took a course east by
northeast. The weather bureau map showed
a phenomenally clear limo of demarcation
between the cold and warm areas.
At Little Rock. Ark, the temperature
stood at the summer heat of Ga, while in
southern Missouri it was only 16 degrees
above zero and sinking rapidly. There was
belt of high temperature extending from

was lower. At st. Louis it was 20 degrees
warmer than in Kansas City, while in south

prevailed that Kansas City enjoyed eighteen

1.-THE matter is now with the senate, and

don't expect to 60 think, however. that
have been elected senator. What the senate
will do about it is another question. l hold
that the populists are not members of the
legislature until they have been admitted to
the house and have recognized it. A man is
not United States senator until he has
been admitted to the senate and recognized
by the officers of that body. These fifty
eight populists, he says, are not members
of the legal house (the republican housed
and have never recognized it, therefore We
claim they are not qualified to vote for SEN
ator. There are a number of decisions and
precedents to sustain this claim. In 1850
senator from Indiana was admitted under
just such circumstances as surround the
election in this state. A number of votes
we're thrown out because the organization of
one branch of the legislature was illegal. l
suppose that il Judge Martins certificate is
found to be regularly issued he will be ad-
mitted to his seat, the certificate being prim8
facie evidence, but that doesn't prevent the
republicans from contes,ing the seat, and if
the point We make is good, Judge Martin
will step out"
1t is almost certain now that Judge Mar
tin will make no attempt to take his seat I'M
til the democrats reorganize the senate on
March 5. 1t is understood Senator Perkins
will resist any attempt on the part of Judge
Martin to take sest, and Martins friends
aay it would be unwise for him TO start Q
contest in a republican senate.

Canadian Commerce.


WASHINGTON, d. c., February 4.-Presi-
dent Harrison sent to the house a message
dealing with the subject of the importat on
of foreign merchandise into the United
States across the Canadian borders, under
the consular seal.
He says there is no treaty, no agreement
with Canada governing the sealing of freight
cans passing through our territory which
carry foreign goods. That all such regula-
tons in practice come from our own laws,
for our own convenience and our interests
as We may see them.
1.-The statute" he says, relating to the
transportation of merchandise between the
United States and the British possessions
should be the subject of revision. The treas
ury regulations have given to these laws a
construction and scope that l do not think
is contemplated by congress. A policy
adapted to new conditions, growing in part
out Of the construction of the Canadian Pa
clfc railroad, should DO declared and the
business placed upon basis more just to
our people and to our transportation COM
panies. II We continue the policy of super
vising rates and requiring that they shall be
equal and reasonable upon the railroads of
the Unitid States We can MOI in fairness, at
the same time, give these unusual facilities
for competition to the Canadian roads, that
are free to pursue practices rs to cut rates
ana favored rates that We condemn and pun
ish if practiced by our own railroads. I
regret circumstances prevented an earlier
examination by me of these questions, but
submit now these views IN the hope that
they may lead to a revision of the laws upon
a safer and juster basis"

Bayard on Annexation.

New YORK, February IA special to the
World from Wilmington, DEL, says: In re-
Spouse to a request for an expression of his
views ON the Hawaiian question, Thomas F.
Bayard, ex-secretary of state, said that he
neither had desire nor a right to speak for
the incoming administration as to the
probable action in the matter. He has will
ingly, however, reviewed the past action in
reference to the Hawaiian islands and the
policy of the state department while he was
at its head.
Mr.. Bayard did not commit himself to the
advocacy of annexation as definite pro-
gramme for the immediate future, but the
drift of his statements enforces the view that
annexation would be the contamination of a
political arrangement entered into under the
Fish treaty of 1875.
Future developments will, he said, instruct
US as to our proper line of action. There
would seem to be nothing In our party rela-
tons with Hawaii or its conventions or
other powers to forbid annexation whenever
deemed desirable.
