railroad takes in a small area of street

M,KIsLEy AND THE DEMOCRATS.

President McKinleys trip to Omaha has
been utilized in his going and coming for
campaign purposes. He will return TO
Washington shortly, and after resting
there awhile will start forth on a new
tour with the same purpose.
The President sees that his party Is in
danger, and he is prompt to hasten TO it's
relief. 1t is true he is not making stump
speeches-no. not exactly-but il amounts
10 the same thing Under the cipcum-
stances that surround him he is doing all
he can TO help the Republicans. He no
asm of the people 10y exhibiting himself
and making that tell against a verdict at
the polls which might be regarded as a
condemnation OF his administration.
But the President would do well not to
over-estimate the value or misconstrue
the character of the greetings that he
receives No man ever was received with
greater evidences of admiration and en-
thusiasm than was Mr.. Bryan in his
travels about the country two years ago;
get he was not elected President. True,
ne might have been but for the money
that Hanna put out, but the monumental
fact remains that he didn't get in.
or course, we have nothing TO say
against the Presidents aiding his party
I'm any proper manner, yet we must note
that the fact that he is in the
canvass at all shows the desper-
ateness of the situation. The com
mander-i n-chief doesn't rush forward
TO lead his army in charge except
when his presence is necessary to avert
a kreat danger. That danger Mr.. Mckin-
ley sees ahead. Hence he is doing al. he
can to persuade the masses 10 accept the
expansion doctrine and forget the short
comings of his War Office.
Well may the President take alarm!
Well may he consider as doubtful the
chances OF his party. The rousing cam
palgn that the Democrats of New York
are making is of itself enough TO brighten
him; but 1t IS not only in New York that
disaster threatens them. Throughout the
country the Democrats are displaying
wonderful energy and enthusiasm. Espe-
cially is this noticeable when we consider
how overwhelmingly we were defeated
two years ago.
1t is a grand campaign that our people
are making and We trust 1t Will result in
a great vi6ory for US on November Sth,
and that the Virginia Democracy will be
entitled 10 claim a large share in the
honor and glory OF that day.

A LAW LACNING.

The average American lawyer can beat
the world on redundancy Of words. and
can express the same idea in so many
different ways and with so many "afore-
saids'' and "whereases" that persons out
side Of the profession may imagine that
nothing can escape the comprehensive
ness OF their verbal drag-nets. And yet.
with all the mazes OF repetition and cum
ningly worded phrases. the gentleman
OF the green bag often fail to put in the
very thing that is most needed, or omit
some little provision which causes ter
rible tangIe, and most likely. also,
terrible wrangle. "A case Of this sort
occurred some time ago in Illinois, and
now a judge Of that State IS scratching
his head in perplexity. Last week Mrs.
Louise Watkins pleaded guilty 10 the
larceny Of 800 worthy Of jewelry. and
when the Judge, whose duty it was to
sentence her. undertook TO perform that
unpleasant function, he found there was
a serious hitch. The woman is only II
years old, and therefore cannot be sem
fenced to the penitentiary, as the law
Of that State says girl must be Of age
before she can be imprisoned In a peni-
Tertiary.
AS the amount stolen was more than
SIS, Mrs. Watkins was barred from the
bridewell, and so the only institution 10
which the Judge could look was a re-
formatory for girls. But being married
the prisoner, though only II years of age.
does not fall under the legal definition Of
girl, and so a deadlock ensues. The
woman, though a confessed thief. now
waits until the lawyers can hunt up
some ancient law or precedent that will
apply TO her case.
Though the legal literature Of the pres
ent day is unspeakably voluminous, and
is daily-almost mountaineering, in
stances OF this sort frequently occur. and
greatly puzzle the profession. Sometimes
a barbaric law of centuries ago is still
found to exist and be in force, while in
other cases no punishment at all is de-
fined for well-known offences. There is
no direct way by which the evil can be
remedied, though time, the great healer
OF all things, has done much 10 adjust
matters in this respect, and not one
criminal in a million will find himself
situated like the offender mentioned
above

HOPE FOR ANDRE.

Despite the fact that none OF the expe-
ditlons sent out so far in quest of Andre
and his companions have found any trace
OF them, popular sentiment In Sweden
demands that the search be continued
next year. The people cling tenaciously
10 the belief that the daring balloonists
are still alive, and will again make their
appearance among civilized men. All the
money necessary will, We are told, be
forthcoming to equip new search parties,
and it is proposed to expand greatly the
field TO be covered in the effort TO find
and rescue the voyagers or determine
definitely their fate.
The reasons advanced by Andres opti-
mistic countrymen for believing that he
and his felow-voyagers have not per-
ished are several. TO begin with, it is
stated that the party carried food sup
ply sufficient for two winters. promi-
nent Swedish journal I'm discussing this
phase of the matter, says that in con-
sidering the chances of Andres survival,
the food question does not suggest the
slightest danger. The balloon, it is point
ed out, was expected 10 take the party
to the pole in h few days. provided the
experiment was favored by the winds
But they were subjected before their
departure TO all sorts OF Encouragement
on that score. and yet they insisted that
if the air-ship should founder on either
the voyage. az laid out or In the course
Of accidental wanderings above tho ice
they felt secure in the amount of food
carried against the rigors OF winter and
the annoyances of travel AS 20 the rest,
II is argued that the party knew that
Nansen had easily overcome all the OBJ
stacles connected with ice-travel for a
whole year. with only two sledges TO
carry his supplies. and that his return
had accustomed them to the idea that
travel on the ice. even on foot, was not
especially difficult, provided the rations
needed from day 10 day could be taken
along. For such transportation they were
equipped. AS one Swedish writer puts
it. the members OF the balloon party
were morally prepared for the longest
possible stay, and all the contingencies
OF travel in the Arctic regions"
Outside of Sweden this optimistic view
is. with few exceptions. regarded as a
case Of hoping against hope, and strong
reasons are given In support Of the other
side. Nevertheless. in the experience of
Arctic venture stranger things have hap
pened than would be the return. safe and
sound. to civilization of the Andre party.
But granting that the voyagers have per-
ished. one thing may be set down as
pretty certain. The history of the search
for Sir John Franklin will be repeated,
and the matter will not be allowed to
rest until the mystc.S OF their fate shall
have been solved

DIR DELEGATION.

The Hon. William A. Jones, member Of
the House from the First Congressional
District in this state, spent nearly all the
summer working upon the Democratic
handbook. His services there are recog-
missed by our National Committee as
having been very valuable. Now he is
on the stump. and is not only looking af-
ter his own district, but has accepted
appointments I'm other parts Of the State
whenever possible. On Monday night next
he will address the voters Of Manches-
ter. We hope TO hear him in Richmond
also before the canvass is over.
Mr.. Jones is the senior In point OF ser
vice OF the Virginia representatives in
Congress, and is not only an uncommonly
good speaker. but is a man OF fine judg-
ment as well. This leads us TO say that
