Hattie is now seventeen years old. A
year ago last August she began to complain
OF dizziness, which became gradually worse
She suffered excessive nausea and attacks of
vomiting. There were days when she could
keep little or nothing on her stomach. She
also was troubled with kidney disease. Her
blood was so thin that the drop or two drawn
by the prick of needle was almost as color
less as water. She had trouble with her
heart and often tainted from the slightest
exertion, as upon rising from bed, or from
. chair.

Just, there is a problem that Is nearer

ourselves to it's solution-it Is the policy
of the United States with regard to CUBA,
Porto Rico, and the Philippines. what

termed imperialism designation re-
proachfully applied by its opponents and
gladly accepted by its advocates? IL

lican administration to hold the islands
that are taken from Spain. The I'M

Like the lotus eaters, who saw in the
misty distance always a beautiful land,
where others could see only IA barren
shore these modern dreamers, in their
enchanted visions, see an empire beyond

which the first Napoleon sought TO erect,

him. But sweeter far to me is the pros

A MINORITY REPORT.
Mr. David Harris. of Goochland. mem
Der Of the committee, followed M Wal
lace. Offering a substitute. declaring
against the acquisition OF any territory
by the United States. and against the in
crease OF the standing army.
Mr.. Ben. owen. OF Manchester, asked
IL the resolution which Mr.. Harris read.
which was offered by Hon. Joseph Bailey
at the recent State convention in Texas,
had not been rejected by that convention.
Mr.. Harris replied that it had, but he
did not think that fact precluded their
adoption here.
Mr.. Harris then made very earnest
and a very strong speech for his resolu-
ton. He declared we went TO war TO
free Cuba, and 90 avengc the sinking Of
the Maine. We had declared solemnly 1t
was not a war for the acquisition Of
territory: now we were deliberately plan
ming 20 break that solemn pledge. He
inveighed with eloquence and earncstness
against the entire doctrine Of imperialism.
and. though, he said, he was only a plain
farmer, he made a very strong speech.
The sentiment of the convention was so
strong against him however, and the up
roar became so great that he was forced
to suspend order was finally restored,
but he said he would not continue.
On motion OF Hon. w. +. Reddy, OF
Richmond, the minority report was laid
on the table, and the majority report was
adopted
