lq'tta
The a'tion of the Virgins Democracy
has been accurately forecast, but, never.
theless, the energy and unanimity with
which it WAS taken are Instructive.
There is no installing where the Demo-
Gratis of the Old Dominion are. They

cago platform in terms the most explicit.
They still favor revenue as against q
protective tariff, are still in favor of the
income tax, still opposed to trusts, still

Lradictions. No speaker will be travel

is now standing.
1t may be said, too, without any sort of
endorsement of his principles, that Major
Tyler fully deserves the leadership he
has won. The record shows him to be
n very direct and straightforward man
in politics as i'll private affairs He is
especially worthy to lead in the silver
movement, because he has always been
an advocate of free coinage, and has
never for personal ends attemp pied to hide
or shift his position. He was one of the
first of the Virginia leaders to declare
against Mr.. Cleveland's adherence to the
Republican sound money policy. He
came out promptly in letter over his
signature in favor OF free coinage He
was at that time candidate for the GU
hernatorial nomination of his party, and
the fear was expressed that his letter
would defeat him. His reply was ms
prompt as his letter had been, and ms
courageous. 81 wonld rather" he said,

exhibits the full courage of it's convic

THE LESSON OF LIFE.

Any man who studies the New Tesla
ment carefully can see that the doctrines
there laid down are divine. Human
wisdom could not conceive such COM
plete formula for the guidance of human
conduct. because mans knowledge is
limited by his surroundings; whereas the
teachings propounded by the Savior of
mankind in scope and simplicity are
thorough and complete.
Christ came into the world to save men.
and knowing all the wants and aspira-
tons of the weak and erring beings for
whom He was to suffer, it was not diff
cult for Him to condense all the truths
essential to human salvation and the NOR
al elevation of the human race Many
of the requirements enunciated by Him
seem absolutely impossible of full per-
Torrance in the present state of the hui
man heart and in the narrow scope of the
human understanding, and yet the ideals
which He established have tended con-
stantly to the elevation of mankind and
towards the uplifting of the lace for the
higher destiny to which the Sayicr
pointed.
He knew the temptations to which the
flesh was subjected; but by writing in
plain and unmistakable language what
should be mans rule of action in this
life, He at the same time left guide for
human con duct, and pointed out dan
ger line which men should never pass.
No man is perfect-no, not one; but the
individual who is always striving for
better things, though he may often fail
in the object of his endeavors, stands
better chance for iinal redemption than
the one who is so filled with the measure
of his own Importance that he is satisfied
to let things remain as they are, secure
in the belief of his own salvation with
out further effort on his part.
~ just man may fail many times; but
he will not be utterly cast down, says
the Bible, while the wicked will be los.
forever.
Progress is Il law of human life in
moral as we'll as material things, and
while the pathways of existence are dotted
everywhere with mounds of buried hopes
and departed ambitions, these nonu-
ments OF failure only serve to intensity
the efforts of those who are coming on
behind, and will yet enable the race to
reach the mark of higher calling which
has been placed before it by the Redeemer
of Mankind.
In the stern arena of battle many brave
and gallant men perish Mt the beginning
OF the conflict, while the way forward is
strewn with the dead bodies Of others
equally as courageous who persisted in
the effort to reach the goal but when vic
tory crowns the efforts of the remainder.
their success Is no more the result of
their own efforts than of the sufferinps
and sacrifices Of those who fell upon the
bloody field. So in the battle OF life, the
weaknesses of those unable to stand the
strain of an unequal struggle will serve
as, warning to others, and while an
All-Wise and All-Pitying Father will
deal with the former, their example may
be the means OF saving millions from the
pitfalls into which they had fallen

Judging from the declarations made
in their platform there is no doubt as to
how the Virginia Democrats stand on
the silver question. There is no sign of
faltering in that part of the country.
The same sentiment voiced by those Vir-

the Democracy everywhere. Loyalty to

During tho last three years, says The
Medical and Surgical Reporter Of Phil
adelphia, nearly one-fiftieth of all
deaths among physicians have been by
suicide. This is conservative estimate
as many instances of death are attribut-
cd to accidental overdosing. as the tend
enCy is always to hush up a suicide
whenever possible. But without includ-
ing such cases, the fact romans that
the medical profession is more promo 20

may be explained by the development

Poisoning is favorite method, but
II does not appear from statistics that
the cyanides or morphine have the pref.
orenoe which would exist if epicurean
philosophy were carried Into the choice

usunlly put their knowledge of drugs to
practical execution in selecting poi
