Alexandria County'S Redemption.

When The Times expressed the belief, q
week or Two ago. that the Maupin anti-r1ce
track gambling bill would fare better in the
house of delegates than ii had farel in COM
mittee, il based that opinion upon its faith
in the dominating force of public opinion
The press and the people OF tho Old Dominion
had become awake to the wrong done them
in Alexandria county under the color and
pretcpse OF law. and they were not slow in
giving their rrepresen,ativesin sin the Legislature
to understand that it must be r:shted by
proper legislation. Protests and petitions
came pouring in from all parts of the State.
and The Times news and editorial columns

argumrnt against. the evil.
All these gencies have had their proper ef-
feet Lukcwarmness and even positive an
tagonism have given way TO ca rnest consid-
eration. if not actual enthusiasm. So great
is the change that last night the author OF
the bill declared himself willing TO let it
come to a vote right then. He feels conf
dent OF victory when the vote is taken.

There is no good reason for removing

would not be advisable The contention

As for the progress OF the war in Cuba,

Insurgents is somewhat less hopeful than
it was n week or two ago. Their armies
appear to have met with some rever>es.

For a State relative to which such pos

OF ex-Gov. Mckinley, Louisiana is acting
contrary To- expectations. In the Repul-

Evidently not all the Reed men in Louisiana

Some say Reed has the District of Column

must be the sympathy OF the representatives

will stiIl have to wait patiently for that
proclamation which win enable them to

There need be no doubt, however, that
their patience will ultimately have its re-
ward, for public opinion is too powerful a
factor In the United States. The develop
nients of the next few months in Cuba will
probably have determining effect upon the
course OF the government. Should Gen. Wey-
Ter put In practice the cruel threats he is re-
ported to have made, the United States
will not hold back the encouragement
which will enable Cuba to combat her foe
