PATRIOTS AND HEROES

Before this war with Spain began agreat
many people assumed to believe that our
nation had deprecated in patriotism and
heroic qualities. 1t has taken but few
months, however, to dispel such an il!u-
sion. 1t looks as if those noble qualities
have kept pace with our progress as ma
ton. Never have Drawer soldiers and
sailors met foe than those that are now
fighting under the glorious flag OF the
United States. The regulars and volun-
teers have We'd with each other in deeds
of heroism and exhibitions of the sublim-
est patriotism. Men Of all classes, &C.
cupations and sections have stood Shout
der to shoulder and fought as brothers
against the common enemy. At Manila,
at Cardenas, at Santiago American pa
triohsm and heroic devotion have burst
forth with resplendent glory that has
attracted the admiration of the world and
excited in the minds of our own people a
love of country SO profound that it is
almost godlike. There has never been a
time in the history of our nation when Its
people were more patriotic than at the
present, and there has never been period
when its sailors and soldiers were drawer
and truer. God bless the noble citizens,
who are now fighting, suffering and dying
for their country and the cause of human
freedom! God bless our flag, our land
and its glorious institutions!

should be.

The Democrats of the Eighth Congress
ional District held convention at Alex
andria, Va, on last Saturday and re-nom-
mated Hon. John F. Rixey, who is the
present representative from that district,
for Congress. The convention knew that
the people of Virginia are earnest in their
support of President Mckinley in his war
policy, and undertook to pledge their
party and candidate to the support Of his
administration in the execution of that
policy. The following resolution was
adopted;
Recognizing that the successful con-
duct of the existing war with Spain is OF
paramount importance to the country, and
that the administration responsible for the
conduct of the war should receive the
earnest support of all loyal citizens, with
out regard to party affiliations, we pledge
our support to the President and his adj
ministration in sll necessary measures
looking to vigorous prosecution OF the
war to speedy, honorable and. victorious
peace"
This sounds very nice and patriotic, but
the words Sin all necessary measures"
will he construed to suit Mr.. Rixey and
his party. The President will not be per-
mitted to determine what are necessary
measures, so far as the Democratic men,
bers are concerned. We will find Mr..
Rixey, if he is reelected, antagonizing the
Administration, as he did on the war rev.
enuo bill and on the annexation OF Ha-
waii the resolution which the Demo
Gratis Ct the Eighth District adopted is In

fict with some traditions which Washing

an impossible wall ofadamant in his Fare

Bob Henrys and the Hon. Joe Bailys and
the Hon. numerous other statesmen OF
their school became unhappy, just tragl-
cally miserable, because they saw the s3ep-
ter of imperialism. The Imperialism,
however, that gave us the Louisiana pur-
chase, Texas, the region west of the Rock
les and auriferous Alaska can be depended
upon to deal gently with Cuba and Spain's
insular possessions.
The system which conducts Territorial
governments in Alaska, New Mexico,
Arizona, oklahoma, Indian Territory and,
wSrst of all, the District Of Columbia, can
be depended upon to do the square thing
with the population of distant isles who
now gaze in never-ceasing wondernent
and admiration upon the ripping folds OF
the Stars and Stripes.

NATIONAL EXPANSION.
A Strong Argument In Its Favor From
Texas.

Dallas News Dem).
One day Dewey's guns Numbered away
in Manila Bay, and when the smoke had
vanished world awoke to realization that
something unparalleled in the history OF
mankind had taken place. As soon as we
got time to think it dawned upon us that
we had reached transitional epoch in our
national life, and that America could never
again be as it was before.
A little more reflection and it was seen
that the intolerable conditions of Spanish
misrule in Cuba were likewise existent in
the Philippines, and that the humanita-
rianism which was invoked in behalf OF
Cuba must also be invoked for the redemp-
ton of the Philippines. More reflection
suggested that military and naval human
itarianism was an expensive sort OF thing,
and that to indemnify the nation shoot
ing the gospel of civilization into Spain it
would be necessary to make reprisals up
on her territorial possessions, since it
would be impossible for Spain to pay us
ANYTHING like $1,OOO,OOO,o 900 or 1.-THE of
it.
Hence the logical result of the conflict,
was to acquire and utilize the enemy's ter
ritorv, to liberate the oppressed and by
taking them under our protecting wing to
encourage them in peaceful and civilized
pursuits and the general betterment of

bers thereof. The new State committee
will elect new executive committee and
in that way there will be practically new
organization, which we trust and believe
will be satisfactory to all Republicans in
the State.
With harmonious relations restored
among the leadership there should follow
complete harmony in the ranks and unfal-
tering loyalty to the party. This is no
time for Republicans to quarrel or seek to
indulge in personal spite. The grand
principles of the party should be cherished
and their perpetuation be of the highest
consideration. If a man is selected as the
candidate who is personally distasteful to
any Republican, that..should not cause a
moments hesitation in the performance OF
duty. If you do not wish to vote for the
man, vote for your party and principles.

HARMONY.

1t looks like the Republicans Of Virginia
are going to be practically united for the
coming Congressional election. At the IN
stance of Mr.. Hanna, chairman of the ma
tional committee, Mr.. Agnew and Col.
Wickham, the respective chairmen OF the
rival factions in Virginia have come to an
understanding. The district conventions
tbat have been called by the Agnew organ
ixation will be participated in by the
wickham organization, and the candidates
selected by those conventions will be sup
norted by a united Republican party.
This is as it should be. Then there will be
new members of the State committee
elected, each district electing three mem

Broadening Theatre of the War.
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press.
Every week the theatre of the war
broadens. When it broke out few I'M
agined that it would extend beyond Cuba.
That island and its immediate waters, it
Was believed would be the scene of prac-
tically all the active operations, unless
Spain was iniudicious enough to attack
the coast Of the United States. That idea,
however, was quickly dissipated.
The first real blow struck proved that
the field Of. the war was to be broader than
anticipated. Instead of descending on
Cuba it fell on the Philippine Islands,
half way round the globe. Spain was hit
at vital and unexpected point. The
next blow fell on Porto Rico and the
bombardment fits principal port proved
again that the war was to take larger
scope than Cuba. And in a few weeks
when an American fleet appears of the
coast of Spain it will become apparent a
third time that the theatre of the war is to
be vastly broader and its results more far
reaching than even the most sagaclous
predicted.
The United States is asserting itself on
the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans. 1t
mas reached out an arm and struck blow
near the coast of Asia. 1t is reaching out
another arm which will strike a blow at
the coast of Europe. The immense re-
serve force this nation has been gathering
during the past thirty years is only just
now manifesting itself. Like a young
giant it is bursting the threads with which
the liliputians sought to bind it and iswak'
ing to the knowledge that it can make its
influence worldwide and spread abroad
the liberal ideas and principles on which
its government was founded and is still
administered.
There is no mistaking the fact that the
nation is arousing itself to new life anc
feeling stronger courage to do its WORK
in America because it sees a field opening
outside. This is why the intelligent
energetic sentiment of the nation vel
comes the broadening theatre of the war

ACKNOWLEDGES THE CORN.

In an editorial, headed Progress" the
Clinch Valley News of last week admits
that the present Democracy and modern
Democratic leaders are totally unfit to con-
troll the affairs of our country. Here is
what the News says:
'No matter what Grover Cleveland says
to the contrary, and no matter what Will
liam j. Bryan says to the contrary, no
matter what position leading faction OF
Democrats have assumed in Congress, the
man who next leads the Democratic party
to victory, must be man Of the present
and the future, and he must believe in the
greatness of his country, and glory in Its
manifest destiny. We want no party tied
with the cobwebs oftradition, no dim-eyed
statesman whose vision is circumscrlbed by
the water that surrounds us. Our leader
must recognize that our place is in the van
guard of nations, and that we have been
placed there by destiny that will con-
tinue to control us. He must favor the
annexation of Hawaii! he must advocate
the isthmian canal, and he must acknowl-
edge that the liberated millions in the
Philippine archipelago must look to us for
that measure of liberty and happiness to
which nature and natures God entitled
them. He must be ship-builder, colo
nicer and a missionary. The old issues
are dead, or dying, and all the people OF
this country who are not dead or dying,
are looking forward to new departure,
and great national career. There is to
be new dispensation and the moss-back
who cannot forget, and the conservative
who cannot learn will have no place In 1t.
We are glad to see that the eyes of our
neighbor are being opened. His article
admits that Cleveland and Bryan are both,
from the views they hold, incapable Of
properly directing the affairs Of
our nation. These two leaders differ only
on one leading question, that of tinan'
cial policy. On the tariff and the now i'm
portant, all absorbing one Of a foreign
policy they hold similar views. On what
they call 'Imperialism'S Cleveland and
Bryan are agreed. They are opposed to
what the News calls "a new dispensation;'
and five are to form an opinion ofthe views
of the Democratic party as expressed by
its leaders and almost solid representation
in Congress as we'll as by the declarations
of the Democrats in their state conven
tons held this year, the party will con
tinue to be ga party tied with the cobweb
of tradition" and led by "dim-eyed states
men whose vision is circumscribed by the
water that surrounds U.s."
The Republican party is the party o
progress. It has already placed oul
country in the vanguard Of nations, an(
by its broad and enlightened policy vii
keep it there. The Republican party il
what the News is urging that its party
should be.

COMMEMORATE NEWSPAPER ENTER
PRISE.

The Lynchburg Daily News is exhibiting
considerable enterprise in giving its read
ers the latest war news. 1t has twice got
ten out on Monday extra editions, and in
that way given our people news that they
would not otherwise have received for an
other twenty-four hours. When Dewey
destroyed the Spanish fleet at Manila the
News got out an excellent Monday morn
ing edition which furnished the people of
the Southwest accurate and full accounts
of the battle one day in advance of other
dailes. 1t has repeated the service by
getting out an extra edition on last Mon
day morning which conveyed to our anx-
ious and expectant citizens the welcome
intelligence of SIMPSONS triumph over
Ceryera and Skaters splendid work at
Santiago. The News deserves great praise
for its excellent work.

Groups of the wounded sit wherever
they can find a shady spot and do what
little they can for each other. 1t is heart
rending. So far about 100 have passed to
the rear since the firing began. Owing to
the fact that the road is in the line of fire
and packed with soldiers it is impossible
to get the ambulance or hospital corps
within mile and half Of the front, else
much suffering might be relieved. 1t is a
miracle that there are so few casualties
along the road.
