REPUBLICAN TICKET.

Colonel William Lamb still claims 10
be the chairman Of the Republican
marty I'm Virginia, and he announces MS
unalterabe purpose to call State con-
vention OF Republicans to nominate cam
didates for Governor. Lieutenant-Gover-
nor. and Attorney-General.
The Colonel is spunky enough ana
means what he says, but we shall DC
much mistaken If the masses OF his
marty do not wait for orders from WASH
ington before responding to his call
While personally much esteemed 'he
Colonel, as q leader, labors under the
distinct disadvantage Of being consi-
dered persona non grata" at Washing
ton. Shat is to say, he is thought TO
be in favor with Tom Reed, but not
with Mr.. Mckinley. Now, while Reed is
n power whose influence is felt in ma
tiopal legislation, he has no offices 10
distribute, as Mckinley has, and that
makes a world of difference with the
Virginia politicians Of the Republican
stripe.
The Colonel would be all right II he
could hold a convention and get Gene
raj Walker to accept the nomination
for the gubernatorial office, but 1t may
be doubted IL he can do that. But Colo
mel Lambs efforts will at least have
the effect of advertising to the world,
o. so much thereof as takes any IN
terest in the matter, that if no State
al hxr n pan1lhiic1nS
il will be because the Washington ad-
ministration does not wish one nominated.
For our part, we should like to see
the Republicans meet us in solid battle
array. The Democratic party of Viz
ginia is united, enthusiastic. and agrees
slve, and feels that it is easily able to
cope with the combined Lamb and anti
Lamb forces. We are organized for a
fight. and we do not like the idea of
having no serious opposition.
1t is true the Lamb faction may put
forth q State ticket, but that ticket
would scarcely be supported by the en-
tire Republican strength. and, therefore,
we could not expect such a stirring con-
test as we usually have here.
Quite possibly our wishes may not be
influential with the Republicans, but II
they are we want them to know we
greatly desire to measure swords with
them, so TO speak, during this cam
paign. We know they are going to OPP
pose us one way or another, and we
would rather have a fair, square fight IN
an open field than have to watch for their
underhanded methods.

sound Health II Necessary 10 Its
Establishment.

A bad temper may be source OF grea'
annoyance 10 other people, but It's most
pltiable victim Is it's owner.
Only the other day a Richmond man
was Boosting OF the wonderful eyenness
OF his wife's temper. "You never saw q
woman like her." he declared. "She has
a temper that's as even as the teeth on
saw; she's always just the same, DAY
in and day out-never changes a bit
She's always mad"
Such women are scarce. There Is pro-
baby not another OF the kind In Vir-
ginia, and perhaps the man was ro-
mancing little even in this case. MOST
women who have spasms OF temper SCOT
recover from them, and VIII be seer
laughing and chatting merrily the creates
part of the time. unless there Is some
thing radically wrong with them.
Very likely the causes of ill-temper are
not looked into carefully enough. Wo-
men have a thousand little wearing an
noyances about which men know nothing
The nerves become completely unstrung
by the constant strain caused by souse-
hold cares, incompetency OF servants
worrying and sickness Of the children
and aggravated very often By the hasty
word, the want Of fine consideration and
tenderness, or even heartess indifference
on the part of the husband, who is SO
quick to complain If the wife is little
cranky"
Ill-temper may be set down. as a rule,
as the direct result of ill-health. The
disorder may be slight and transient, but
ii exists and should be attended to at
once. If the husband has not the percep-
ton or fine feeling to concern himself
with the subject. then the wife should do
so herself, for her situation is not likely
to be improved by bursts of ill-temper'
which tend to upset the house and make
everybody miserable.
In such cases, as in all weakness OF
mind and body. the entire system wants
building up and strengthening, and there
is nothing known in the world to equal
for this purpose Paine's celery COM
pound, the great American scientific
remedy which removes the causes or
rheumatism, neuralgia. and other troubles
from the blood. and has restored millions
of persons to sound health.

The English Government now proposes
TO devise means by which ship-owners
and ship-masters. who often brutally treat
their men with the express object of in
ducing them to desert without demanding
their pay. should be forced to dlsgorge
all such accumulations of wages for the
benefit OF the nearest relatives OF the de
serters. This would render the lot of the
average sailor in the British merchant
marine a much happier one while aboard
ship. 1t is estimated that during the
last twelve months $4,000 In wages has
been abandoned by British sailors.

ADANGEROUs HEREsY.

Apropos of the beginning Of the col
lege year, the New Orleans Picayuhe
SAYS that it must be admitted that
there Is growing up in the Southern
States a distinct disregard for all SOUTH
ern doctrines and traditions. Also, that
II is not strange that, under these con-
dltions. young men from the South
should be sent TO northern colleges TO
learn northern ideas.
Not strange. perhaps, but the fact
that there is a growing tendency among
the rising generation to break away
from southern traditions is all the more
reason why southern youths should not
be sent North to be educated. The
disposition to ignore southern tradi-
tions is due largely to the influence OF
southern men who have attended instl-
tutions of learning at the North, ana
have become inoculated with the doc
trine that everything that succeeds Is
right and everything that fails is wrong
There never was a greater or more
dangerous heresy, or one the South Is
under greater obligation to herself to
stamp out. The surest way to stamp
il out is to build up our southern insti-
tutions Of learning by patronage and
endowment

Retired Statesmen.

(Memphis Commercial-Appeal)
Oh, where are the men who once blithly
assembled
Whose resonant voices were sweet with
the truth;
Who lectured the world TIL the atmos-
phere trembled
And held the attention Of old age ana
youth?
We gaze at the place where they stood,
proud and stately
And hurled classic phrases, our rights
to declare.
But most of them haven't been visible
lately
Though we hear now and then Of their
doings elsewhere.
We learn that a number are reaping and
binding.
To show all the neighbors they haven't
grown proud;
Or driving the cows down the lane, green
and winding,
While spectators give them applause
long and loud.
The gloves have been dotted; natures
covering thickens
Ger palms that were tender and rosy
before:
And the babies. as each mothers heart
fondly quickens
Are kissed as they never have been
kissed before.

that Hon. Claude A. Swanson, who rep
