WHO is WHITE AND WHERE Is

To the Frends of Sound Money and

Gently he'll at Roanoke placed the Dem
ocratic party in the State of Virginia
sQuare'y npon the platform adopted by
the National Democracy before the last
Presidential campaign. State issues
were made subordinate. The same uues

tional campaign last autumn a1e to be
brought up again 80 that the State may

mocracy.
This issue, then, con fronts the voters
of Virginia; Will you vote for the doc

VEN Der by large majority of the people
OF the United States? The free coinage
OF silver Independently by the United
States mt an arbitrary ratio of l6 to l: the
partisan reorganization of the greatest of
judicial tribunals, the supreme court of
the United States; the revival in all it's
vigor of the dis"redited spells system
these and other iniquitics, which the
Democratic party of the present day de-
sires to fasten upon the country If it
shall ever have the power to do so, you
are asked to sanction by your votes
We believe that the free coinage of sill
~
a ruirous and dishonest policy. We be
lieve that the Federal supreme court
should be free from partisan tampering.
We believe that the merit system of ap-
poinSmenU to Office is the right ore. We
believe that our State can never take the
high position of supremacy in the nation,
to which it is entitled, until the friends
OF sound money and good government
shall rescue it from the hands of the
Bryan Democracy.
People who desire the true welfare of
the State desire to see capital attracted to
1t, and not frightened away by q party
which wonld render it's investments less
valuable than they are now. They de-
sire TO see labor busily employed and
paid good wages in the best money n the
world. They dread a repetition of the
stagnation of industry which the fear
OF Organism prod need last year and which
brought its greatest hardships to the
workinGmen. Above all they desire to
see the great State of Virginia lead the
South in throwing off the fallacies which
now constitute the creed of the Demo
cratic party
Therefore, we urge the friends OF sound
money and good government to band to-
Gether in opposition to the Democratic
platform, and to lend their earnest efforts
by voice and vote to defeat it at the polls.

\ Disgrace to journalism.

q When Mrs. Frank Leslie's version of
The DemimOnde" was produced here,
l remember that one critic, who is per-
haps tho best known III this city, devot-
cd the greater portion of his screed to
telling how he had seen the pictures of
the authoress everywhere while those
Of the players were little in evidence
Then he went Oh to relate how polite
young man had invited him into Mrs
Leslie's box, saying that she wished to
explain to him her object in making
certain changes from the French. Tho
noble critic spurned all this and told It
with great gusto i'll his so called crit.
icism tho next day. The play itself was
disposed of i'll few words AS an ex-
ploitation of the newspaper writer, the
article was huge success. AS % dra
matte criticism it was enough to mako
the angels weep. In other words, to be
frank, dramatic criticism in this city,
with few notable exceptions, is dis
grace to journalism and is, as rule,
not on par with that which prevails
Ill the average county seat. for there
mt least an effort is made to be con-
scientious, and there is no such thing
as personal spite to distort writer's
judgment. JOSEPH RUSSELL.

THE BISHOP or HONOLULU TELLS
or HIS TOUR.
Met the Royalty of Samoa-S Saw Cler-
gymen in Australia Who were For
merry i'm Hawaii.

Since his return from a nine months
trip abroad, the Bishop of Honolulu
has had considerable to tell his
friends. All around the world he
found people who are taking the very
greatest interest in Hawaii.
The Islands are exciting interest ev-
erywhere, but the Bishop met few pco-
pie who were acquainted with the in
ternal conditions of the country.
There were some who were not sure
whether Hawaii was in the Pacific or
in the Atlantic ocean.
Bishop Willis remained some little
time in Samoa and Tonga. He held
confirmation services in both coun-
tries. At Apia the British Consul held
"A general reception in honor of the
Bishop and Mrs. Willis. On Easter
day the Bishop held a service at
which offerings were left in the hands
of Mr.. Cusacl< Smith as a nest egg for
an Anglican church.
The Bishop says the scenery in Sa-
moa is lovely. Many of its features
are entirely different to anything
seen in the Hawaiian Islands. He
saw a variety of birds which are now
in Hawaii only to be met with in the
mountains. When the Bishop called
on Malietoa TO pay his respects there
lay on his table the handsomely
bound copy of the Hawaiian Bible pre-
scented to him by King KaIakaua at
the hands of admiral" Jackson Of
His Hawaiian Maiesty's ship Kaimiloa.
At Tonga the Bishop had presented
to him for confirmation three British
ers and one Hawaiian. The Kings
chapel is a beautiful edifice built of
kauri wood.
While in New Zealand and Australia
the Bishop was gratified to meet once
more the clergy who had worked with
him in these Islands. Two of these
he ordained. The Bishop and his wife
had a rough passage in
the Tasmania, from Auckland to sgd
ney. This ship has since been wreck
ed off the Wellington coast. At Mel
bourne they were greeted by Arthur
c. Jenkins, who is an old Iolani col
lege boy. The voyage around to Eng
land was made without mishap.
A place on the steps of st. Pauls
being reserved for Bishops, Bishop
Willis was in a position to see the pa
geant of June % to the best advant-
age. 1t was an occasion never to be
the history of the world such process
sion had never been seen before of
representatives of so many nations
and languages. all the free subjects of
one sovereign.

ADVERTISED FOR A HUSBAND.

A marriage which was brought
about by an advertisement in a Chi

has aroused a great deal of comment
among the relatives of the bride and
groom, was that of Mrs. Joseph Lau-
rier of Binghamton, N. Y, and Leroy
H. Wright of San Francisco. Mrs.
Laurer is an ardent admirer of the
Remington bicycle and it was through
the advertisement of a husband who
rode Remington that she procured
her wish. Pacific Cycle and Manu-

HOW TO PREVENT PNEUMONIA.

At this time of the year a cold is
very easily contracted, and if left to
run it's course without the aid of some
reliable cough medicine is liable to re-
suit in that dread disease, pneumonia.
We know of no better remedy to cure
a cought or cold than Chamberlain's
Cought Remedy. We have used it
quite extensively, and it has always
given entire satisfaction-Olagah, Ind.

This is the only remedy that is
known to be certain preventive Of
pneumonia. Among the many thous-
ands who have used it for colds and
la grippe, we have never yet learned
of a single case having resulted in
pneumonia. Persons who have weak
lungs or have reason to fear an attack
of pneumonia, should keep the RENE

Lord Nelson's Spirit.

lowing from the account of the en-

at this time. as he had been during
the whole action, walking the starboard
side of the quarterback, sometimes
much animated and at others heroically
fine in his observations. A shot through
the main-mast knocked a few splinters
about us. He observed to me with a
smile, IT is warm work, and this day
may oe the last TO any of us at mo-

to be erased from my memory, and
said with emotion, But. mark you.
