SUBSCRIPTIONS.
THURSDAY, MAY 10, 1898.
REPUBLICANS SHOULD STAND TO-
GETHER.

There should be perfect harmony and
union of sentiment in the ranks of the
Republicans of Virginia for the approach
ing Congressional election. 1t is mis-
fortune that the party heretofore should
have been disorganized by factional diff
ferences. The indications are that the
hostile camps will be brought together and
and a gallant fight made in the several
Congressional districts next fall. The
conservative address of the Agnew COM
mittee has been responded to by the
State Committee of the Lamb faction, of
which faction Col. w. F. Wickham is
chairman. On the 18th instant this COM
mttee met at Richmond, twenty-five
members being present, and resolutions
looking to peace conference were adopt
ed. Col. Wickham was instructed to con-
fer with the Hon. Park Agnew with
view to securing union of all the Repub-
lican forces in the State.
There should be no hesitation or delay
on the part of the leaders of the rival fac
ions in coming to an understanding that
will stop for all time the dissensions that
have been destroying the power and use
fulness of our party in Virginia. This is
no time for the settlement of personal dis
putes or furthering of personal ambitions.
1t is of great Importance that the next
Congress shall be in sympathy with the
present Administration. No worse calam-
ity could be inflicted upon the country
than to have the next House Of Represen-
tatives controlled by Organism and Pop
ulism. A determined effort would be
made, if such thing should occur, to re-
verse the financial and economic policies
of President Mckinley, and serious disas'
Ter be inflicted upon the business interests
of the country. That the supporters OF
Organism would not hesitate to pursue
such a course is evidenced by the action
of Senators and Representatives on the
war revenue bill now pending in the
Senate. The bill was promptly reported
from the Ways and Means Committee Of
the House of Representatives, but it has
been INSTRUCTED and so changed in the
Senate that the bill is hardly recognizable
as it came from the House. Thefree silver
Democrats and Populists are trying to take
advantage of the urgent needs of the coun-
try and force their distasteful financial
views to the front. They want to raise
revenue by adopting another silver coin
age act and by issuing irredeemable paper
money.
The safety of the country demands that
the next House of Representatives shall
be Republican. At least one-half the
members from Virginia can be elected if
we make united and determined fight.
All the fraudulent practices that the Dem
ocrats can employ cannot prevent us from
succeeding in several of the districts, if
Republicans will lay aside personal quar-
rels and every man do his duty to his
psrty and country. Let the Republicans
of Virginia stand together.

"Yes," she said. cts cut"
There was long silence.
"What do they do with cables that are

,,Shlice 'em," he answered.
She gave him timid sidelong glance,

"Let's get spliced" he hastily cried.
'Jet's," she gently answered.
And the ordeal which had worried him
for many weeks was suddenly forgotten.

HOW LONG2

One of the most oft repeated inquiries
we now hear is: "How long will the war
last?" Before hostilities began it was
thought by most persons that the war
would be of short duration, and great
many persons still hold that opinion. We
trust they may not be disappointed in
their happy expectations. But we must
confess that there is great danger of the
contest becoming serious and very pro-
tracted. There are indications that some
of the continental powers of Europe are
giving their sympathy to Spain and, per-
haps, extending secret aid to that country.
The conduct of France has especially been
suspicious. There can be no question but
that if England had consented all the pow
ers of Europe would have interposed at the
start in behalf of Spain. We fear that
even now France, Russia and Austria and
perhaps others are only looking for pre-
text to take sides with the Spaniards
against us. If there should be combina-
ton of the continental powers against US,
our reliance must be placed in an alliance
with Great Britain. We have every reason
to believe that English sympathy is with
us, and active support will be given if the
emergency should arise.
If such situation should come, the re-
suit would be the most terrible war that
has ever been known in the history Of the
world. Its duration would probably be for
wears and the loss of life and expenditure
of treasure would be startling. We trust
most sincerely that no such conditions will
come. A war with Spain is bad enough,
but one in which the whole civilized world
would be involved will be truly appalling.
The Anglo-Saxon alliance, We have no
doubt, would finally triumph, for every
man of the blood, in every land, would
rally to the support of the cause Of civil
cation as represented by our race.

COMMODORE Dewey in obedience to or
ders made desperate and dangerous at
tack on the Spanish fleet at Manila and
he has won the name of hero. Ensign
Bagley, in obedience to orders, lost his life
at Cardenas in desperate conflict with
the enemy, and should be accorded high
place among the heroes Of our land.

THE Democratic convention of the Sew
enth Missouri district, which met at
Sedalia, in that State, on the 18th instant,
adopted resolutions commencing the
patriotism of the Federal Administration.
Hon. James Cooney was nominated by
the convention for Congress. If elected
will he sustain the patriotic Federal Ad-
ministration, or unite with the unpatriotic
obstructionists who are trying to make the
Administration failure

The Clinch Valley News of last week in
speaking of the call for a Democratic con-
vention in this district and the nomina-
ton said: ave don't know who he will
be, and care very little, for we expect to
nominate man who has never belonged
to but one party and hence cannot be
charged with treachery." The News
must have concluded to abandon Rhea,
whose nomination it recently so warmly
advocated.

THERE will be very few recalcitrant
Republicans in the Ninth district next
Fall. Some may have been disappointed
in the distribution of patronage, but only
those who were Republicans for revenue
will let disappointment draw them from
line of duty. When the time comes
there will be very few of the disgruntled
class in evidence.
