In commenting upon ex-Speaker Reeds
recent utterances on the tariff question,
the Philadelphia Bulletin Repubican)
says there Is no true Interpretation of
the verdict of 1894 which does not take
into consideration the desire of the people
that the industrial policy of the govern
ment shall be rooted in the principles of
protection; and that this Is. and must
continue to be, the primary policy and
aim OF the party until the Democracy have
abandoned for good their tariff doctrines
and turn their attention TO new issues"
This reads as If the Bulletin were In
favor of the Mckinley tariff and of Nc
Kinley himself as the Republican candi-
date for President of the United States
In 1896. But not so. 1t IL merely the crop
ping out Of the protectionism for which
Pennsylvania is noted. Tariff agitators
will soon be at discount. When the
proper time comes, we shall have nom
partisan amendments of the present tariff
whenever these are needed. For the pres
ent, the hands of Congress. as we'll as
those of the President are tied.

The Monroe Doctrine.

The Paris Moniteur has the following
credited to it in the latest cablegrams:
"rhe same Cleveland who only short
time ago had nothing but the Monroe
doctrine on his lips, now violates II in
two points, throwing himself into the
thick Of the conflict Of interests OF another
hemisphere. The feverish anxiety that
America has displayed In the far East Is
doubtless explained by the fact that the
Chinese-Japanese war directly affects
American interests. but what about the
dispatch OF a commissioner to Armenia?
This IS a small beginning, perhaps. but
it is n grave indication fraught with the
serious consequence that America may
become the seventh European Power"
And why may not America become the
seventh European Power? eve have the
men and the money. too" are the British
Jingo's words, and may be ours If we
choose to have them. The fact is that
what with railroads. steamships. and what
not, the world Is gradually becoming very
small.

Tho Nicaragua Canal,

We concur in the opinion of one OF our
Gulf-State contemporaries tina, II Congress
could be induced to give to the projected
Nicaragua-canal scheme the backing OF
the Federal Government, and thus render
it's early construction a certainty, that
body would do more for the commercial
and Industrial interests Of the country
than it is likely to do in any other way.
The scheme has many considerations to
commend it to public favor. especially in
the South.
What else can Congress do that would
cause the South 10 show such unmistaka-
Bile signs of prosperity as would accom-
pany the construction Of that canal? The
tariff question IL settled for the present.
The President and Congress cannot be eX-
pected TO agree in favoring any tariff that
could be framed at this time. They did
the President be expected to sign any
silver bill which the existing Congress
is likely to pass. And so we might proceed
until we reached again the conclusion that
nothing more important than the Nicara-
gua-canal scheme can expect friendly
legislation at the hands OF the present
Congress.
The fact is Congress il demoraliZed. Its
members. many of them. do not desire
to show their faces in Washington this
winter, and will not. Let those who are
there distinguish themselves by doing
their whole duty.

The New York Herald has opened a sub
scription. which II heads with 1900, to
secure means for the production OF serum
or anti-toxine. the new remedy for the
cure and prevention OF diphtheria. 1t
states that the yearly victims OF diph-
iberia number not less than 5000 In that
city and at least 5000 In the United
States. 1t has been estimated. 1t further
says. that the annual mortality in France
,is 2.ooo and in Germany and Austria
as high as 100000. The fact that 30 per
cent OF those attacked by this disease die
shows the impossibility OF arresting its
ravages by the methods OF treatment
hitherto relied on.
This Is truly beneficent work that
the Herald is engaged in, and We wish
Il complete success.

Governor OFerrall has appointed Mr..
George X. Anderson, of Clifton Forge, as
judge of the county courts OF Allegheny
and Craig counties. to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the resignation of Judge
Moore TO enter the ministry. In this APP
pointment there are several condolences
or singulariues. In the first place Mr.
Anderson and Judge Moore had been part
ners previous to the latter's ascending the
bench. In the second place. Judge Moore
presided at the trial Of Captain T. A.
Goodman for killing Colonel Parsons,
while Mr.. Anderson was one OF Good
mans counsel. If he should be granted a
new trial by the Circuit Court. the appli-
cation for which is now pending, Good
man would be tried with a member Of his
own counsel sitting as judge. However.
the fact of his having been counsel would
have no influence with Mr.. Anderson,
whose reputation for honesty and upright
ness is above reproach.-The Graham
Headlight.
In the event of new trial being given
the prisoner Goodman. we take 1t for
granted that Judge Anderson would not
consent TO sit in the case.

Rolls Of virginia Confederates.

The DISPATCH every week or two re-
ceiyes from some of It's friends and read
ers copies Of rolls of Virginia companies
which served in the Confederate army.
These we always publish when they are
In good form and legibiy written; but we
must disabuse the minds of the people
Of any idea that they may have that we
ever proposed that this State should UNI
dertake to make up the roster of her
troops in any such desultory way.
oh no; that is not our plan at all Ours
Is far safer and better one. Some months
ago we discovered and announced that the
original muster and pay-rolls OF the Vir-
ginia troops were among the archives Of
the Confederacy at Washington. These
fell into the hands Of the Federals at the
close OF the war. In most instances they
afford a complete record OF our commands
and all the statements made on them
are officlal--made under the signatures
Of the Confederate officers In charge.
When we consider how precious are
these records OF eur great war, the won
der is that their existence was not made
known years and years ago and that the
hate OF Virginia did not have copies of
them made and brought to Richmond
twenty years ago these rolls could have
been ARRANGED and annotated with perfect
accuracy almost Ten Years ago 1t could
have been very well done. 1t can be done
now fairly well but many errors win

Appomattox National Park.

Our suggestion that the United States
Government should buy the battlefield
and place OF surrender In Appomattox
county, and make OF them park, finds
many endorsers. The government has
made appropriations for the purchase OF
several other fields--fields not nearly 80
memorable as that of Appomattox.
Gettysburg IL the battle-ground in
which the northern people take most In
terest, and which is most visited By them,
but we should think that next to Get;ys-
burg. Appomattox Would rank In I'M
portance with them.
III the Grand Army OF the Republic
and our Confederate camps would make
a move in this matter. they conl1 induce
Congress TO acquire the Appomattox field
and build a fine road to IL. and lay II OF
I'm park-llke shape. With this done. there
would be no more trouble about the name.
Congress would settle that. Congress
would never dream OF calling II "Snr-
render" 1t would think Appomattox a
good enough name. SO far as we know, or
have reason 10 suspect. there is not u
single person, outside OF the Post-Ofiice
Department, who does not wish to see
the name of Surrender extirpated. and
Appomattox restored.
In forwarding to the Post-Ofiice Depart
ment the petition of seventy prominent
citizens of Appomattox county. asking
that the old name be given back to the

The Richmond Dispatch admits that the
Walton law is defective, but notwith-
standing, 1t wants to elect all OF the coun-
~ officers under II next spring, and the
legislature next fall. After that II Is proba-
BILE that the Dispatch would favor a new
law equally as rascally as the Walton
law.-The Spirit OF the Valley Republi-
CAM
We don't consider the Walton law a
"rascally" law. There never was fairer
election held anywhere In the world than
that held in Richmond under this law
There can be no two opinions as to this.
That there are defects in the law we ad-
nit. but they are not very serlous-they
are not serious enough 10 demand an ex-
ira session of the General Assembly.
II the General Assembly wanted tc
frame 'rascally' law 1t would better
call upon the Spirit OF the Valley than
upon the Dispatch for assistance.

A Good Sign.

1t is hopeful indication to find the At

here follows. We quote:
MIR. Cleveland's outline of Mr.. Car
isles plan is better than the plan itself.
Mr.. Cleveland in one part of his message,
says something about the final retirement
Of the legal tender notes, but he says
nothing about It in his outline Of the cur
rency plan. Mr. Carlisle, on the other
hand, proposes that the Treasury notes
shall BE- retired and that they shall also
be employed to furnish a guarantee fund
for the national and State banks provided
for in the currency scheme outlined by
Mr.. Cleveland"
