Gov. Charles Z. O'FerralI

We willingly surrender much OF our
space in order to publish ia fall, the
admirable letter of Gov. O'Ferrall.
1t comes from ore who is personally
known by almost all of our people. His
record. during the war, made him a
favorite among the number OF gallant
confederate soldiers, who so nobly
fought in defence of the principles which
we then believed to be right and which
we have never recanted.
After the war was over, and the fight
was transferred to the hastings, OFFER.
rails plume always waved in the thick
est OF the fray. There is scarcely a
county in Virginia, where the people
have not flOcked to hear O'Ferrall defenC
the principles of democracy and de-
nounce those of pOpulism and rspubli-
canisnI.
That he would 90 back on the princi
pies which he has so nobly defended
! and endorse the pOpulistic principles
| which he has so bitterly denounced, W,
did not expect. Governor O'Ferrall is
not man of that kind. TO day while
many may revile and abuse him for the
stand which he has taken, thousands
will admire him as a man who is no
afraid to uphold and defend his princi
pies at all times. He has been a true
Democrat, all the time, and is too true
to-day to enter into an alliance with
populism.

The conduct of the Bryanites, al
Rockingham court, was a disgrace to the

the sound money speakers. A crowd
near the stand listened attentively to
the speeches made by J. 8. Harnsberger,

Of Front Royal. Several parties who
had intended to votsfor Bryan were SO
disguised by the conduct OF the Bryan

would vote against him. 1t is a poor

wheat sold a. high as SO cents per bushel
This advance was not caused by depre-

which wheat is now selling has its full

-Four Thoesand Murders Year In Italy.
Most Violent Of Civilized Countries.
A homicide occurs every two hours in
Italy. This was one Of the many star
Ting statements made by Baron Caro-
falo, distinguished Italian crimlnol-
ogist, in q lecture delivered on Grim
inality in Relation to the Education Of
the People" in the Roman college. His
audience included Queen Margherita.
In Italy the annual loss Of life by

numbers about 1000 souls. Compared
with France, for instance, she has 10
homicides a year for frances l, and
s5 for Denmark's /. The Latin popu-
lations, indeed, in both hemlspheres
have bad pre-eminence over the leu
tonic in crime generally. and OF these
Latin populations the Italian is the
worst.
Baron Garofalo proceeded to give the
reasons why. In the first place, vendetta,
which in Greece was heroism and in
medieval Europe a laudable custom,
has fingered longer in Italy than in any
other country; dueling, also, is more
frequent in Italy than elsewhere. To the
religious instruction given in Great

VETERANS MEETING.

Last Monday our streets and the court
house square presented picturesque scene
All manner and conditions of men were
there in response to the notice calling fol
the men who offered themselves as sacri-
fees on their country's altar. Some had
not seen each other since the immortal Lee
s'lealthed his sword at Appomato1, and
! when these met it was "hello Billy OK Tom,
>.mp, or Rock, Yellow Nat, etc., etc.,
ow have you been, old fellow. and you
ar.: getting old" and then each would tell
some war yarn on the other, which would
; ring out merry laughter even from some
" no were manned or broken by disease or
",.a But when an old Vet would tell of
certain battle and how poor Dick was
s,unded, and what his last words were,
t':ese men who had faced the enemy amid
overpowering odds and storms OF shot
and shell, and did not shrink or culver,
these men when they were reminded OF
their comrades that had fallen and crossed
the great beyond would drive back tears
with their handkerchiets and they would
repeat the names of the dead heros with
qnivering lips.
About midday the shrill voice Of Captain
D. j. Bradham called the crowd to 60 up
stairs and one old fellow hobbled forward
semarking: "Sump's voice sounds just like
it lid when he ordered US to fall in IN
Virginia. His head may be white and his
sleeve empty, but he is the same old Sump
to day. I was within six feet of him when
he WIS shot and some of his blood spattered

sit to receive applications for pensions. with
them will be the comfy treasurer and the
county auditor, both of whom have "smelt
the patchin", also DR.. c. B. Geiger as the
physician.
Captain D. J. Bradham made very
feeling and eloquent speech to the Camp
on the pension matter. showing in every
sentence that his heart was in the work,
that it was labor Of love. Several letters
from other Camps were read and the meet
ing was really pleasant reunion. They
meet again in May.
