WORTH REMEMBERING.

Recently the F~incastle Herald made a
strong appeal to the Democrats Of the
Tenth Congressional District to lay aside
every feeling of resentment, II really
any feeling of this kind exists as a result
of the Coyington convention, and go to
work for the nominee"-Judge j. M.
Quarles, of Augusta For some reason,
not exactly clear TO US, the Appomattox
Times seems TO think that the Herald's
remarks were intended to be personal to
Appomattox, which is the county of Mr..
Flood, who was one OF Judge Quarles's
chief opponents for the nomination. The
Times proceeds to remind the Herald
that Botetourt gave Mckinley and the
Republican ticket a plurality OF 12O In
1896, when it's normal Democratic ma
jority while it was a member OF the
Sixth District exceeded 400, and then
adds:
1.-THE Herald knows we will support the
Valleys candidate-it has been our GUS
tom so long 20 furnish the votes, that
the little murmuring OF dissatisfaction
seems TO have alarmed our Valley
friends. Xou can put Appomattox down
for twice as much as Botetourt and in
the right column, and this, too, without
any promises or hope of reward. We are
Democrats over here, because we believe
in the principles of Democracy and de-
test Republicanism in all of its FORMS"
The Times's promise for Appomattox
has the right Democratic ring. But
isn't our Appomattox contemporary a lit
tie too hard on Botetourt in It's reference
to the performance of 1896? If we mis-
take not, in the presidential campaign
of that year Botetourt received especial
attention from Hanna & Co. 1t was
openly charged, and so far as we are
aware the charge has never been dis
proved, that in Botetourt the manipula-
tors Of the Republican corruption fund
waylaid the seed-corn Of the electorate
and the ignorant voters on their way
to the polls, and exhibited to them
samples of the contents Of the Hanna |
barrel.
And in this connection II might be well
for Democrats throughout the State to
remember that Hanna, the inancier of
Hanna & Co., is taking an especially
lively interest in the approaching con-
gressional campaign in Virginia-an In
terest which has manifested itself In
such a manner as to justify the belief
that he contemplates another investment
here, in the near future.

The Hero of the War.
ATLANTA Constitution.)

The Springfield Republican is Of the
opinion that Lieutenant Hobson's re-
ception in Washington and New York,
in the hotel corridors, in the streets, in
the public NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. he has
been-shows who the real hero Of the war
may be. His name is 'Hobson."
so the people seem TO think. The de-
monstrations made wherever the young
fellow g%oes-their spontaneous. unexpect-
ed development-are quite out OF the
usual order. And this hero Is so modest
and unassuming that he may be said
literally to pursue his blushing way
through the crowds that gather TO ray
tribute to his heroism.
The Republican thinks that the spon-
taneous and overwhelming enthusiasm
and admiration with which the young
man has been greeted could be aroused
by no other officer In the war, with the
possible exception of Dewey. The Re-
publican adds that the reception Dewey
might get would. we fancy, lack the
loving alteration which every old apple
woman bestows on the hero OF the Mer-
rimac."
The demonstrations of which Lieu
tenant Hobson finds himself the object
are, Of course, embarrassing to him, but
the fact that they are made-that they
are so spontaneous and enthusiastic
is a very welcome sign. 1t shows that
people Of all ages and conditions con-
n as effectively as they did I'm the old
days, when heroism had more opportu-
mites for It's display than ID has now.
The South is honored in having such
a son. and though the suggestion seems
sectional, ii flies the other way. for Hob
sons heroism manifested itself IN behalf
OF the old flag.

Efforts to Save Ander.en's Life-A
Marriage.

NORFOLK, VA, July 29.-Special.)-
Those ministers who have undertaken to
assist counsel for John Andersen, Hon.
George Mcintosh, TO save the life OF
the convicted murderer Of Mate Saunders,
of the Boston schooner Olive Pecker,
are as unremitting in their efforts to
secure petitions OF overwhelming
strength in behalf of the unfortunate
Swedish seaman as Is Attorney McIn-
tosh himself. Rev. Mr.. Merritt lost one
Of the petitions to-day, and as it bore
a large number Of signatures he adver-
tised and made a long personal search
for 1t. The ministers say that while the
man may be technically a murderer, they
believe the brutal treatment he received
had crazed him, impelling him to MUIR
der the captain and mate and set fire to
the schooner.
Mr.. Robert Samuel Weaver and Miss
Annie Elizabeth Bell were married at
st. Luke's Episcopal church, at $50 o'clock
last evening, by the rector, Rev.

TOBACCO IN CUBA.

II looks absurd for the United States
Government to be exacting duties upor
American goods At the custom house In
OF the tariff adopted by the Spanish
Cortes!
In so far as merchandise is intended
for sale TO our troops there ought to be
imposed no duties at all; but we perceive
| that there may be a difficulty In differen-
| tlating the W classes OF goods at pres
| emit. That obstacle, however. might be
| removed by the commanding generals
appointing an agent TO whom army
| goods might be consigned. That agent
might be authorized to transfer or resell
! the goods to the various regimental can
! teens, but to no one else.
We observe that the American To-
bacco Company Is making a vigorous
fight to nave good such as 1t make ad-
mitted TO Santiago at a nominal rate.
So far as those goods are intended for
army consumption the company has our
warmest sympathy in the efforts 1t Is
exerting. But we feel no great concern
about goods that are intended for sale
TO the citizens Of Santiago. In fact,
that Is "a big question" Upon the pro-
per settlement Of 1t many things will
depend.
Sooner or later we shall have to face
the problem whether American goods are
20 be or are not to be taxed the same as
-.s.- -,Aan thnv nnfoY
the custom houses Of Cuba. In other
words, is It to be our policy to save the
Cuban market for ourselves. whether the
Europeans like IT or not?
Some surprise has been expressed by
a section of the press that General SHAFT
ter should have set the machinery or the
Santiago custom-house IN motion at all,
but vessels were there waiting to enter,
and supply food to the hungry popula-
ton. and. besides, ne was under orders
to restore the civil government. as far as
he could do so with propriety. Hence
his action. And the object OF that order
was to make the townspeople feel secure
and induce them TO go about their bust
ness as usual. SO Shafter set In motion
the entire machinery Of the civil govern
ment, subject, however. to such changes
as may be determined upon hereafter by
our authorities.
We entertain little doubt that as soon
as the matter can be arranged goods in
tended to be sold to our troops Will be
passed into Cuba free of duty. In view
Of the heavy tax our government I'M
poses upon manufactured tobacco, surely
If is not going TO exact a customs duty
in addition, and that, too. where the
goods are TO be sold TO our own soldiers!
The fight the American Tobacco Com"
pany is making is one that Is as much
in the interest of our soldiers as it Is In
that Of the company, and the public,
therefore, heartily hopes it will succeed.

THE PEACE BASIS.

The President n his Cabinet agreed
yesterday upon the general basis upon
which this government would consent to
open peace negotiations with Spain. AS
far as this hemisphere is concerned, that
basis demands that Spain shall quit it.
~ conditions are that she shall recog-
nsze the Independence of Cuba and sur
render absolutely to the United States
. Porto Rico and its outlying islands, and
our demand Is that she acquiesce in the
logical evolution of the war.
AS to the other face of the globe the
conditions are that Spain shall cede us a
coaling station in the Ladrones and a coal
ing station in the Philippines.
These condltions-the conditions AFFECT
Ing both hemispheres-are, we believe, In
accord with the conservative sentiment Of
the country, and are Il gratifying rebuke
TO imperialism. Hence we can say, So far,
20 good.
Touching the future of the Philippines
as a whole, no decision, as we understand
1t. was reached. And in not being pre-
cipltate in tina matter the President ana
his advisers acted wisely. The settlement
OF that question. as we said yesterday,
Is one that may call for careful, cautious,
and most intelligent diplomatic steering.
1t were well that in approaching it we
make haste slowly. Besides, IL Spain
agrees 10 treat on the general basis out
lined, the broader Philippine question Is
one that may wait.
Wise, also, was the determination TO
put our answer to Spain in the form OF an
ultimatum. Indeed, not only was the de-
termination wise, but IL carried with 1t
Kindness to Spain. Knowing. as we do.
her propensity for procrastinating and for
wiring in and wiring out. we could not.
we think. do her a better service than by
forcing her squarely up to the rack.
This country will await with intense
anxiety 10 see whether the Spanish min
istry will accept our terms. on that point
we confess we are optimistic. While we
shall not be surprised II the Madrid Cow
ernment attempts some backing and I'LL
Ing, and even resorts TO a little buster
Tor home consumption-we shah be sur
prised II II does not finally embrace the
Ills offered 1t rather than fly 10 worse.

Little Loyalty i'm Porto Rico.
(Cleyaland Leader.N

Cleveland Leader.)
The well-knOwn weakness Of the Span
ish forces In Porto Rico illustrates anew
the slender held which Spain has on the
loyalty and real devotion of her most
quiet and apparently contented colony.
IL Is not believed that the 1900 or 5000
Spanish troops that may be In the island
can count on more han $500 or GOO local
militia TO aid them In making a stand for
the flag OF Spain. Yet the population
of Porto Rico Is about s0o.O COZ.
In that number of residents there must
be fully 10000 men able 10 pass an ex-
animation for any army, and perhaps
10000 fit TO bear arms in defence OF
their own country. Ii should be easy to
muster 10000 men of good physical con-
dition and sufficient courage 20 volunteer
in a campaign TO resist Invasion. But
the evidence is quite conclusive that Spain
cannot count on more than 10 per cent
of hat number.
These facts show how little disposition
there is In a Spanish Colony which has
always been passive under the rule OF
Spain to risk anything for the Spanish
flag. The conquest OF Porto Rico by
quick, and cheap as IL could be In such
an island II the inhabitants were de-
termined TO fight TO the utmost against
s~ubjugation. Then we should need an
army Of not less than 1900 men 10 crush
all resistance and hold the country quiet.
Now we are likely to find 5000 an over
abundant force.
All OF which Is the best Of reasons for
regarding lightly any title which Spain
may have to Colonies that care little for
her flag.

Unjust to the Army.
Baltimore American.)

A great deal is being said about the law
which awards prize money to the navy.
Acting-Admiral Sampson has become rich
from his share in this kind OF booty, al
though lie has yet to be in any real dam
ger. The navy has escaped with few
casualties, and it is the only branch Of the
service to profit by the results.
On the other hand. the army has done
the dangerous work, has been under fire,
has lost In killed and wounded a hundred
times more men than the navy, has suffer-
ed for foo and in exposure far greater
than the fighters on the well-equipped and
well-provisioned ships. Not a penny OK
prize money do these soldiers get. Shafter
has worked far harder and endured far
more than Sampson, and he receives no
thing more than his modest salary.
The injustice is manifest. Abolish the
determinations in favor of the navy.

THE SOUTHERN TROOPS.

Last week the Dispatch took occasion
to express its surprise that up to that
time no southern troops had been ordered
on the Porto Rican expedition. Not one
single company had been sent TO Cuba,
and We saw no signs of any Of them going
10 Porto Rico.
But very soon after that article appear
81 In print orders were given for several
southern regiments to Join Miles's army.
IL what We had 10 say called the admin
istration's attention TO the omission In
question. We have much to congratulate
ourselves upon. But II. on the other
hand. this movement of southern troops
had been determined upon, though not
made public, before we wrote, II seems
20 as we have nothing 10 reproach our
selves with. We discussed the situation
as " was az the time.
Tho Dispatch, however, does not feel
called upon 10 endorse the statement
made by many p~apers-that there wero
no southern companies In condition TO go
70 Cuba with Smarter.
NO concede that, as q rule, the north

than the southern regiments. Bur there
