What ocean Springs" L..

Ocean Springs, the scene of the fever
epidemic, is the oldest French settle
ment on the Gulf Coast In 1852 La
Sale and Tonty. after having explored
the Northw estern country, padded
down the Mississippi River to its
mouth and claimed all the sourround-
ing country in the name of the French
King. Several years later France sent
out colonists who settled at Ocean
Springs, which. however, they called
Fort Biloxi, the name having been
changed IN recent years The plague
which visited these early colonists
from time to time was probably moth
ing more nor less than yellow fsyer.--

HAWAII.

A Washington special TO the New York
Herald opens with the declaration that
any aggressive interference on the part
of Japan will result in the landing OF
blue-jackets and marines and the hoist
ing of the American flag over the Ha-
waiian Islands, with or without the rau-
fication of the pending annexation
treaty." Further on, the same special
says, in support of this declaration, that
after the receipt of the last mail advices
from Hawaii there was a conference De-
tween the State and the Navy Depart
ments. that resulted in instructions being
given the American Minister and the
American naval commander at Hawaii
(which contemplates the landing OF ma
rines and the hosting of the American
flag over the government buildings In
Honolulu on the first sign of interference
by any foreign nation.
II not, why not? IL has for many years
been a distinct and well understood fea-
ture of our policy that no foreign nation
would be allowed TO take possession OF
Hawaii Consequently, If Japan. or any
other foreign Power should attempt 10
annex the islands, there would be nothing
left for us to do but hoist our flag over
them and annex them ourselves.
All the same, we do not think that
the flag act will be done soon in Honolulu,
either on account of another Power
threatening to possess the group, or IN
-
the way of annexing the big sugar pan

illusions with her, while 1t is pretty evil

was concocted simply in the hope of lubri-
! eating the tariff machinery, will be al

| we would not be construed as predict

| these days. or as expressing here an
| opinion as to its ACCESSIBILITY or unad'
visibility. But we are satisfied that al
| the present ado In the matter amounts to
nothing. The jingoism that Japans blus'
ter has stirred up is harmless midsummer

supporters of annexation as a politica

very near future the status OF the islands

Do,ro unable to employ counsel FOR
himself the Court has requested inc
celebrated Abe Hummel to defend VIII
liam Thorn. who with Mrs. Mack, Is IN
d,cted for the murder of William Gull
densuppe. the Murray Hill Hotel masseur.
Mr. Hummel insists upon it that MS
client ought not to be tried before ne
has been examined by police justice;
but the Court has overruled this objec-
ton. So. too. Mr.. Hummel has been
overruled as to his motion that he DO
allowed to inspect the minutes of the
grand Jury. The Court holds that the
bill of indictment is all-sufiicient notice
To the prisoners of the crime with which
they are charged. But counsel for Thorn
and Mrs. Mack have filed four demurrers
to the indictment. The trial will take
Mace in New York, though the crime
was committed in Queens county. The
New York law allows murder trials to
be held where the conspiracy to kill
was formed, or where the killing was
done.
From the newspaper accounts we have
seen, Thorn appears to be perfectly I'M
concerned as 10 his fate, while Mrs.
Mack is daily becoming more serious
and alarmed. The conviction of both
seems probable.

WORCESTERSHIRE Ia, 1871
VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS.

What are the Virginia Republicans 60
ing TO do during this campaign? Is
uuestion often heard nowadays. But no
one seems prepared to answer 1t. We
however venture the opinion that they
will do whatever the administration
wishes them TO do. In due time Mr..
Hanna will be heard from. and whatever
course he advises will be pursued.
Not until the Federal offices have been
divided. If then, can the leaders of the
Republican party In Virginia afford to
ignore the opinions of Mr.. Hanna. 1t is
true that one section of the party in
this State is being persistently ignored
by the administration. but we suppose
Il is living in hope that better day
will dawn after awhile. At any rate, it
is not yet ready to "kick.'
So far as the Democratic party of this
State is concerned, 1t is perfectly imma-
terial TO them whether the Republicans
nut up a state ticket or not. III they
decline to enter the contest we shail
have less actual work to do to elect the
nominees Of the Roanoke convention. on
the other hand, if they make fight
Democrats Will draw closer together ana
our organization will be kept in better
shape and discipline, so TO speak.
Really, If anything. we should prefer
that they should enter the field against
us. Then they would see the great ma
aority OF the gold Democrats lining up
and voting our ticket. Few, indeed,
would be the Democrats who would sup
port "sound-money," high-tariff Repub-
leans In preference to free-silver, reve-
nue-tariff Democrats.
Whenever the Republicans wish TO make
a showing of hands upon such condi-
lions, we shall be glad TO meet them
We expect the Democrats of Virginia
10 be as united and as strong in this
campaign as they have been in any
gubernatorial campaign since Holiday
was elected.
We repeat, It is our belief that ii
Republican ticket Is put in the field II
Virginia this year it will be because Tho
administration wishes 1t, not because o
any probability OF success. nor of any
reasonable hope Of theirs that the ticke'
Will succeed.

ALONG TIE RIGHT LINES.

The Charlottesville Progress has long
bsen an earnest and consistent advocate
of retrenchment and reform in our State
Government. To that end II vigorously
urged calling a convention to frame
new Constitution. holding, as 1t did, that
Through a constitutional convention re-
4renchment and reform could best be Sc
cured. The defeat of the convention pro-
position was a decided disappointment TO
our contemporary, but it is not disposed
90 sulk. II would make the best OF the
situation and the best of the means LETT

penses. In its Issue of Monday the Pro-
rress reproduces the Dispatches comments

electlng men to the Legislature who Ia
yor retrenchment and reform. and rein
forces the Herald's position as follows;
..Since the refusal of the people 10 or

interrogated TOO directly or positively,
and their answers should be without

certain that the taxpayers of Virginia
are assessed to pay on account Of crimi-
nal expenses a much larger sum annually
than Is necessary. and adds;

the right pace. And II these two papers

Senator Daniels Patriotism.
(Danville Register.)


United States Senator John W. Daniel
delivered the leading speech Monday at
the Fourth of-July celebration of the Ma
tional Association of Democratic Clubs OF
the District. In his speech on this occa-
sion Senator Daniel placed patriotism
above politics, and in this respect he set
d laudable example to some of his enthu-
siastic admirers, who talk more like po-
litcans than patriots. Not only did the
speaker recognize the fact that there are
good men in all parties, but at this De-
mocratic party gathering he had the
courage to pay tribute of admiration TO
a Republican President. In his review Of
national conditions he scared far above
the petty, puny pess.mism that so many
enthusiastic Democrats parade in the
mistaken belief that party fealty re-
quires it.
In his address Senator Daniel said that
on such a day he did not intend TO sit
down in a corner and complain because
things are not better than they are. IL
the benefits we are TO be thankful for
should be counted we would see that
things are not half as bad as they might
be. He then paid a tribute to President
Mckinley and Vice-Presdent Hobart and
said that the fact that on this day the
chief of the nation had thrown aside all
the duties OF his Office and gone to lay all
the honors of that great office and the af-
lection of his heart at the feet Of his aged
mother was something that we all should
be thankful for.
1.-THE United States" he said, SIS n
