The Dispatch says before the next
Uo1.e is assembled our new Court OF
Appeals will come into office in Virginia,
and meanwhile that new court may pass
upon the Walton act and pronounce IL
constitutional and valid
Dnes the Dispatch mean to intimate
that our new Court Of Appeals would
render "a partisan decision? We nave 100
mucn confidence in the integrity OF the
lawyers who will constitute that body
TO even ins.nuate d suspicion that they
would do So
The Dispatch is very much disturbed
over the Walton law and the possible
course of the Republicans before the
election in November. Our nervous con-
Temporary may rest assured that the
Ren,b,icans do not intend to be cheated
out Of their rights by an unconstitutional
statute-YostS Weekly.
W., We dare say that the new court
"may" pronounce the Walton law constl-
tutional For the matter OF that, the
present court may if 1t IS brought be-
fcre Il.
We plead not guilty to the nervous
charge If the Walton law is declared
invalid the Anderson Mccormick law will
remain In all of its pristine purity Anu
while the Walton law is an improvement
on the Anderson Mccormick law, we couiN
live very happily under the LITTER for
year or two longer.
All that the Dispatch meant to say IN
the article from which the Weekly mas
| clipped sentence was that the Republ'-
! cans can't afford TO defer their contest
Of the Walton law until the new House
| Of Representatives is elected and comes
10 pass on the eligibility of the Virginia
members, for the reason that ''mean-
while our new court may pass upon the
! Walton bill ana pronounce 1t consttu-
| tional. In this event, we said, the
House of Representatives would almost
certainly feel that it was bound by the
! courts decision. See?

Wilson, Elkins and German.

Martinsburg iW.Na) telegram makes
the following revelation:
THE probabilities are that exSecretary
Stephen b. Eikins viii oppose Hon. VIII
liam l.. Wilson for Congress In this dis
trct. A solid Elkins delegation of sixty
nine delegates has been selected 10 40 TO
the convention, which meets at Elkins. the
home OF the ex-secretary, in few weeks
The fact that some OF Elkinss fast friends
took an active part I'm the convention
lends color TO the rumor that he has de-
cided TO accept the nomination II offered
to him"
Here is another conspiracy 10 which we
call the attention OF the Baltimore Sun.
Mr.. Elkins Is Senator Davis's son-in-law.
and Mr.. German is closely connected with
Senator Davis. VIII Senator Davis sup
port his son-in-law? Or will Elkins assist
German? Maryland and West Virginia are
likely 10 get mixed up" before these mat
tiers are settled.

our Nominee In the Ninth District.

The Democrats Of the Ninth (Virginia)
District have made a strong nomination
for Congress.
Judge III. s. X. Morrison. to whom the
honor went, Is one Of the most widely
known and popular men In his section
OF the State. lie has served as Judge OF
the County Court OF Scott. and Judge OF
the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit. and last
winter was brought prominently forward
as candidate from the Southwest for
a place on the Supreme Court OK Appeals
bench. lie declined reelection to the Cir
cult judgeship.
Judge Morrison's record as n man, a
Judge, and lawyer is of the highest.
and his general reputation for ability Is
such as to warrant the prediction that he
will make Virginia an able representa-
tive In Congress.

Hawaii.

The recognition Of Hawaii as a republic
by the United States Government is an
other step in the road leading to annexa-
ton 10 this country. AS we have hereto
fore stated, Texas was first erected into
a republic and afterwards annexed to the
United States. And when war became IN
evltable our Congress resolved that war
existed by the act of Mexico" and Uncle
Sam forthwith sent his army to Mexico 70

no war In the case Of Hawaii. The people
as well as the government authorities are
In favor OF annexation Mr.. Cleveland

II she can't sing, how could you use her in

oh. singing is always secondary matter
with me Almost every girl can sing mors or
less. and haven't the least doubt that Miss
Pollard can sing as well as most girls. From
what have reud OF her. and have followed
the trial pretty closely. l am convinced that
she is q bright. keen young woman. she un-
doubtedly has received good education. and
/ don't believe that music has been neglected
