THE NEXT ERM-M'KINLEf.

People in Richmond know just as much
about the next-term prospects as do the
people OF Washington. Speculauons oris'-
mating in this city are just as reliable
as those originating in the Federal capi-
tai. So we wish to say a word as TO
Mckinley:
The Mckinley boom has reached such
proportions that It is doubtful whether
il is within the power Of the Republican
leaders to control 1t. His friends nave
expended their efforts in the attempt
to force a nomination on the first Dallot
in the Republican National Convention.
The result is a development of strength
on the part of Mckinley which could
not have been foreseen. 1t Is supposed
by the Republican leaders that he owes
that manifestation Of strength TO the
stand on the tariff question which he look
i'm the beginning OF the campaign for the
nomination. But we think this supposl-
ton is not well-founded. Mckinley would
probably have been stronger than ne Is
if he had said not word on the tariff
question:. lie has loH'N 60 %
candidate. and so gained the support OF
the high-tariff men; whereas the low
tariff men, or men not devoted 10 protec-
ton. have experienced and manifested
comparatively Indifferent feeling on the
subject.
In a word Mckinley IL still in danger
from the new combinations which are
daily being made in Washington. The
doctrine Of protection may lend him
strength in the several States, and yet
be the cause Of his defeat in the Repub-
lican National Convention Almost any
kind of decided platform is better than
no platform at all, and so Mckinley has
profted by his position On the tariff or
protection question.
On the other hand. there are many
time-servers in the ranks OF the several
candidates for President, who are work
ing for nothing but success. These per-
sons will make haste to enroll them
selves under the banner of Mckinley.
and SO will make up for more than the
strength which they will lose by the full
exploitation of the protectionists' theories.
McKinley's nomination is probable, but
not by any means certain.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
In your last Sundays issue C22D Mr..
Masseys statement that recent attempt
was made to prosecute one of our most ED
cient county publlc-school teachers for
a commendable effort TO enforce proper
school discipline evinces clearly the fact
that the duties. prer0gatives. and respon-
slbiities of public-school teachers are not
fully understood or appreciated Then
Mr.. Massey proceeds in his usual lucid
style to explain, at length. what such
duties are.
The parties In question-that is. the
parents Of the child-make statement that
their child was treated brutally in the
extreme as ably and amply sustained be-
fore a court OF justice. a reasonable pun
ishment would have not have been ques-
toned. though the offence was creaking
a desk and talking; and here let me say
II is passing strange that no complaint
had ever been lodged with the parents In
connection with this child. II her state
ments are true, certainly they were in
a position TO fatty contradict charges
recently laid at his door, had the last
trial been entered upon.
This privilege was denied them, and
who had the right? Her brutality to the
other children can be well established;
many are debarred from patronizng the
school on account OF II.

sclous because II did not hear her call

TT COMES SUDDENLY.
A Note Of Warming to CAREFUL
Minded People.

Scarcely day passes that one does not
hear of men and women who were In
perfect health being suddenly stricken
down by that terrible disease. pneumonia
At no time of the year IL this dangerous
complaint so extremely prevalent as du-
ring the present season. There are con-
slant changes: one day IL as mild as
summer. the next is bitterly cold. The
very air Is filled with disease, and the
slightest exposure often results In pneu-
monia. 1t Is q disease that comes sud-
denly, and It is all the more dangerous
ling In the throat, tightness in the
chest, a difficulty I'm breathing. and a
feeling OF weakness. all may mean the
beginning OF pneumonia. IL Is above AL
things a disease that requires prompt
treatment. for II a reaction Is brougnt
about, the danger may soon be over, III
not. the end may be near. Any physician
who Is called in a case OF pneumonia pre-
scribes a stimulant Instantly; but II Is
always some reliable stinuant. such as
pure whiskey-oll else Is useless.
liz ia precisely for this reason that so
many physicians prescribe that standard
and reliable whlskey known as Duffy
pure malt. II has saved the lives OF
thousands who were on the high road to
pneumonia in its worst form, and IL mas
both prevented and cured the most dan
gerous forms OF pulmonary complaints.
AS a great strengthening, vitalizing rene
DIV IL has never been equalled. he sure
that you get Duffy's pure malt. no matter
how much you may be urged TO try some
thing cheaper.

The Lynchburg News says 1t has been
unable to see the slightest reason why
the selection Of delegates to the APP
preaching State Democratic Convention
to send delegates 10 the Chicago National
Convention should have anything par
tcular to do with the State convention,
proposed to be held, in 1887. to make a
new State Constitution.
There is undoubtedly a division of SEN
timent in the State as to whether the
stanton convention should make a de-
liverance on the constitutional conven-
ton question. Our Lynchburg contem-
porary falls into error. however. when 1t
states that 1t is proposed to hold a
constitutional convention in 1897. In May
of that year the people will vote on
ton to revise the Constitution and amend
the same?' But even should the decl-
sion be in the affirmative, the con-
vention cannot be held until the Gene
raj Assembly. at its session next ensuing,
shall have provided by law for
the election OF delegates TO such conVen-
ton. The Legislature will not meet
again in regular session until December,
1897, and unless there should be an extra
session of the body between the time Of
taking the popular vote and the Decem-
Der following. which Is not probable. it
would be impossible TO hold the conven-
ton in 1891 The steps necessary to the
calling of a constitutional convention are
prescribed in section Of Article XII. Of
the present State Constitution.

Pronunciation of Roentgen.

boswell, Va, March 80, 1896.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Referring TO the several opinions ex-
pressed in your columns regarding the
pronunciation of "Roentgen," l would re-
fer your readers TO an article In April
No. OF McClure's Magazine. The author
states that the name is pronounced Rem
KEN in Wurzburg. and his article Is
based on a personal interview with the
distinguished scientist. AS the harsh
sound Of "g' as in get is gay" not
"jay." II is clearly apparent that the
word would be very nearly Rent-gay-en.
which. pronounced naturally in the Ger
man manner. would appear to result In
the pronunciation "Renken."
