THE ADMINISTRATION.

The election of Mr.. Mckinley did not
bring prosperity. On the contrary, SO
far as the general policy OF the govern
ment is concerned, there has been no
change. The depressing gloom occasioned
by contraction and falling prices which
gladdened the heart Of Mr.. Cleveland con-
tinues in full force. But while there has
been no change in the Cuban or financial
policy of the government, there has been
a marked change in the personnel IF the
President an his Cabinet.
President Mckinley is not Afraid of the
people, has discharged the army OF de.
Cectives which guarded his predecessor,
and goes on the street himself and min.
giles with the masses as any other Amer
lean citizen. This is u great change for
the better. The example is valuable The
idea OF the President of the United States
regarding himself as at enmity with the
people and for self protection hiding in
the executive m mansion, guarded by SOL
diers, and never .venturing out without
elaborate preparation of detectives and
armed men to Shield him from danger.

AFFLICTED ROYALTIES.

The sensational stories circulated in
this country about Queen Victoria going
blind are discredited in London, where it
is said there has been no hint that her
sight is any worse than might he expect
cd in woman OF her age. This is prob
ably the real situation. The queen is in
her seventy eighth year, and in the ordi-
nary course of nature her vision would be
considerably impaired by he age At any
rate, in the United States, where the great
majority of the people lave nothing but
the kindest feelings for the English
the misfortunes of her royal highness: but,
on the other hand it is the general wish
that the story may prove untrue in all
RESP ecss.
The disposition of sensation mongers
the world over to magnify the Affections
of royalty is too well known for extended
notice IN this connection. Emperor Will.
liam OF Germany, for instance, has been
pictured ms hopeless'y paralyzed in one
arm and with an incurable disease Of the
ear which. according to these reports. has
brought him frequently to the borders of
madness Car Nicholas of Russia is
also said to be afflicted with maladies
enough to kill him in few weeks, and
so on with other crowned heads of Europe
and asia All of these sick kings ami
princes have, however, managed to exist
up to the present time, and if their exit
from this world depended on the trr tn of
the sensational stories set afloat about
them, they would no doubt live to good
old age.

1t is stated on good authority that Sec
rotary of State John Sherman will resign
his position about the first of next Janu-
airy, and be succeeded by Assistant Secre-
tary Day, of Canton, Ohio. because the
duties of the Office overtax his strength.
AS Secretary of State Mr.. Sherman is far
more conservative than he was as Uni
ted States Senator. This has been shown
particularly in his treatment of the Gu
ban question, and proves that he under.
stands the requirements of his position
and can rise with the occasion. Mr..
Sherman has been a candidate for tho Re-
publican nomination fer President several
times and was objected to. by the people
of the South, who feared he was too much
Of partisan to be elevated to the high
position of chief executive of this great
nation. He has, however, since he be-
came Secretary of State shown that he
thoroughly understands and appreciates
the changes in the life of statesman; IL
it had been the will of Providence for
him to have been elected President that
he would have sunk the partisan in the
statesman, and would have made pa
triotic and thoroughly national executive.

THE CUBAN POLICY.

President Mckinley. has sent the name
of General Stewart l.. Woodford, of New

regarded as an excellent one froma Repub-

weeks before he will be ready to enter

MIR. BRYAN

The visit to Virginia of Hon. William
Jennings Bryan has been very gratifying
to our people. and we hope has been a
source OF pleasure TO him. He is of our
blood and of our political faith. Though
his home IL In the West, we are sure that
he loves Virginia very dearly, and our
State has omitted nothing to show its de-
votion to him.
We doubt lie the Chicago convention
could have nominated any man who
would have run as well in Virginia last
year as Mr.. Bryan did, and his popular.
ity has in nowise diminished. but has
rather increased, in the Old Dominion
since the last election. In the language
OF the day. in this part of the country he
is "out OF sight" of all competitors for
popular favor.
1t 1t should be possible for him TO az
tend the Roanoke convention, rs he has
been pressed to do, we are certain he will
receive an ovation from the people which
will long linger in his memory, and ever
be recalled with delight.
Mr.. Bryan has taken occasion recently
to speak very handsomely indeed of the
services of the Dispatch during the last
campaign, and now we are glad to as.
sure him that our party in this State is
in fine condition. Many OF the gold Dem.
ocrats are coming back to their places in
our ranks, and in the coming campaign
our party will exhibit ~ front through
whose solid ranks no enemy can hope to
break. The battle fought and won bv our
party in Virginia last year ensures the
State to the Democracy for many years
to come.-Richmond Dispatch.
