many times expressed a willingness to
go to her Father above, requesting those
weeping about her dying bed to so live

While it is sad and heart.rending to give
her up, yet what blessed thought it
will be to her husband to know that she
died so happy in the Savior's love. Her
last message, I am 80 happy, 1 am going
home, will ever be an incentive to those
she left behind to meet her in that
mansion above.

RUSSIAN TRIVAlPHs.

Whether Nicholas H., of Russia. is or
is not the weakling some persons pic
tured him when he assembled the throne,
there seems no doubt that he has sur
rounded himself with strong and shrewd
advisers. Since he took up the sceptre
of the Romanoffs Russia has scored a
series of diplomatic triumphs.
She outwitted Great Britain in the ne
gotiations that led up to and followed
the treaty of peace between China and
Japan, and her prestige with both Of
these nations Is now greater than ever
before. and is steadily growing. She has
brought England--it matters not how-to
consent TO her acquiring an ice-free har-
Dor in the far East. and last. but not least,
she has succeeded in getting hold upon
Bulgaria that removes all barriers TO the
classification of that country. Even IL
there Is no foundation for the statement
that a treaty or understanding exists be-
tween the Car and the Sultan. Russia 8
triumph in Bulgaria, and the influence II
must exert in the other Balkan States,
constitute long Muscovite stride in the
direction OF Constantinople.

The = to change the complexion OF

OF compromise.
The prime objet OF Mr.. Lewis was to

Lswis must have Wound that he could

Mr.. Lewis's bill has creatd an unusual
degree of feeling among orr legislators.
The debates have been heahd. and the
iIl-temper and spitefulness exhibited were
very remarkable, when one SIMPLY con-
siders the character Of the Nil itself.

The picture OF the member from Gull

arms and winning smiles, praying the
members as a personal favor to stand by
his bill, Is pathetic, indeed and would
furnish a study for an artist. Yet Re

great feeling for a senseless measure. We
have said from the first that any
interference with the board would be
unjustifiable. and we say so now. Notwith-
standing the fact that Mr.. Lewis's chief
purpose has been defeated. the Senate
ought to reject the bill.

FEES OF POLICEMEN.

1t Is surprising to US how such one
sided bill as that to deprive the police
officers of cities and towns of their fees
houses as quietly as it did. Police Off
GERS are state officers only In theory
The State pays them no salary, and has
no earthly right to command their SER
vices without paying for those services
as it pays other persons. AS long as the
tinue to pay policemen. Instead Of this
1t Is here proposed that many officers
who are actually State officers shall con-
tinue to be allowed witnesses fees, while
men who are not State officers shall be
deprived of them. Is this fair? Certainly
not.
We do not know that this bill has yet
reached the Governor, but when he has
an opportunity to do so he would do
well to examine 1t closely. II Virginia
finances are in such a shaky condition
that nothing but this small sum wrested
give up their sleeping hours to attend
court will avail 10 save it from in
solvency. why, we suppose the Gov
ernor must let it become a law.
But If he should find that the
condition Of the Public Treasury does not
require that this manifest wrong and
injustice shall be perpetrated. then he
ought to veto 1t.
II there is to be any legislation on
the subject of witnesses fees let it be
general. and not made to fall upon the
cities exclusively.

Some people are so constituted that
they prefer TO keep on I'm the beaten

selves When they are sick they rely
upon a few old-fashIoncd medicines. and
apparently choose to suffer rather than
try a modern remedy OF established re-
putation.

none Is more common than biiiousness'
which is caused by torpor of the liver,

In such cases what is needed Is nerve
and blood builder to bring back the bloom
OF youth TO pale and sailow people.

The commissioners OF the New York
State reservation at Niagara Falls
have submitted their annual report TO
the Legislature. anc In doing so nave
created sensation. The report states,
among other things, that IF the United
States and Great Britain refuse to in
terpose, there is nothing to prevent the
State of New York and the Province Of
Ontario from drawing off so much water
from the Upper Niagara as to make the
cataract practically disappear"
We Virgnians would greatly regret
such an undoing of natures handwork,
even though II would promote our Natu-
raj Bridge TO the grade of the greatest
natural curiosity of this country. The
Natural Bridge has but one rival-but
one In the East. certainly-and that is
Niagara. Should the money-making New
Workers and Canadians sacrifice Niagara
to their manufacturing schemes. 1t would
be the greatest outrage ever perpetrated
upon the face OF nature. They have al
ready injured the falls greatly; but their
further mschievous work should be STOP
ped forthwith. Water-power is not so
scarce in this country that 1t is ne
cessary to sacrifice Niagara for 1t.
