Leander ]. Mccormick.

In Chicago, ILL.,, on the Goth of No.
wife and son, Z. Hall Mccormick
talked oyer the fifty years that had in.
tervened between that date and the day
| he first set foot on the soil where mis-
| works, which have made him and his
family famous, were TO be located. He
and his brother, Cyrus H., now dead,
are two Virginiaus of whom the Com
m0nWealth is proud. and in Leandt 1
tue pride that he is a Virginian, still
raigus supreme. A few years ago MI.
Mccormick was in this city, and we
well remember the large and splendid
physique, the cordial grasp of the hand,
the benignity of his cGuntenance and
how he loved Virginia. He had come
On a mission Of love, to see that the
graves OF those ancestors whom he re-
yered so much We're undistnrbed in
their long repose, and to add pro badly
more fitting monuments to the VIRTUES
they Possessed. He remembered the
boys of his youth, the hills were he said
as natural as when he saw them last.
Changes only had taken place in the
people, and the buildings, and the cut
ting away of forests. He remembered
aud had visited the streams i'll which
he had SWAIN, and fished, and waded,
when boy, the school house was gone,
but there were still remembered spois.
and he drank in. the pleasures Of his
vi sit " ilh degree CT relish he seldom
b ID Known before.
He has not forgotten any Of these,
nor has he failed to remember the OBJ
jects which appeal TO man OF his
bGO4d mind and liberal heart. At Our
great institution of learning, the Uni
versity Of Virginia, the telescope, which.
bat for his iberallty, could not have
been there, because it Was beyond the
financial reach of our impoverished
State, has drawn closer the ties which
bind Virginians to this son of Virginia,
who has adorned is mother and theirs
vita this crown, The Chicago Times
Herald in part says of him:
MT Mccormick still retains his
Southern sentiment. as does his wife.
Both have Il proud ancestry, and each
has written book on this subject. |
The books are comprehensive and inter-
esting. They were written not long ago
aud are indicative of the energy of the |
family. Mir Mccormick is an expan-
sionisJ-''l've been Try ing TO expand all |
my lite, he said, with d smile. Though |
always Ia Democrat, he voted for Mr.. |
ana is a thorough admirer of |
the president. But on the race question |
we'll, that is another matter.
''Lean1er J f.. Mccormick will be 50 |
ears old February Sth next. His wife
came from the Hamilton family in Vir-
ginla and SILL retains the suggestion of |
remarkable beauty. Her husband is
tail man, strong of frame and with "a
ACE full of power and determination.
For several years he has been resting.
He came to Chicago with hardly SIS 900
and is now many times a millionaire.

Annexation.

This subject is waxing warm. The
styrm centers of the opposition are Bos-
ton and Baltimore. so say experts.
These two large and influential cities
are powers of course, bat they do not
control the destiny Of this country as
they must sooner or later learn. The
trouble at Boston is that Mr. Hoar
has grown old, he thinks in the past
instead of the future tense. He, like
many men who have been giving atten
ton to national affairs, thinks he has a
copyright on the business. But annex
alton is fixed and certain, and they who
oppose it might as will Cry no more over
split milk, but go to work to fill the
bucket again. Every time the United
States has advanced her territorial lines
the pessimists have issued warnings, and
sent forth gloomy foreboding, dangers
have been abundant. Yet the country
went on regardless of these sad and sor-
rOwful people. There is no very good
reason for large country going TO
pieces quicker than small one. Rhode
Island is really no safer in its political
destiny than New York or Texas. Rus
STA is no nearer destruction so far as we
can see, than Denmark, or Sweden.
So that we must conclude that it is not
the size which weakens. The most
powerful nation in the world is admit
ted to be England, aud yet her policy is
to acquire every foot of ground she can
find Do any of those who see SO much
danger ahead, see diSintegration, and
decay in our mother country? We are
the same people, why may we not have
a government in many respects like
hers, and why may we not own colonies
and have our flag planted as England
plants hers in every land and every
cline? Let what come. soever, We
are now the owners of territory stretch
ing nearly half way round the earth,
and whilst we have our internal bick
erings, We know of no feeling that can
make our home, our central govern
tGC4C all bltlIlS OnS III great strength
on account of the loyalty, and national
devotion Of the people. England has
unified her home government by rea-
son of her foreign holdings and colonial
policy. To touch her is to touch hive,
every inmate is stirred to the utmost
degree. We believe therefore that the
same result will follow here We be-
lieve instead of weakness the acquire
ment of the territory now about to come
into our possession will prove a source
of strength in that it will broaden our
conceptions, increase our loyalty, en-
gender more national pride. and in
many ways add new strength to every
fiber of our being, take us out of our
narrow ruts. bring us in touch with the
great world which surrounds US, makes
us know by the evidence of others than
ourselves that we are great people and
enjoy the blessings of such knowledge,
and the pleasure of such pride

Didn't Know the Law.

Gen. Walker has teen twice elected
to Congress under the laws Of Virginia
governing elections. When he was
elected the laws were good enough.
Now that he is defeated they are very
bad. Gen. Walker, however, showed
marked ignorance of their provisions
last Monday in Richmond He grew
boisterous when Mr.. Law!ess, the Sec
rotary of State, told him the packages
had been opened before the canvaS8ing
board met, but mellowed, when blr.
Lawless showed hiuI the Law, and as
strange as it may seem, and as much as
Gen, Walker had been supposed to
study the Virginia election laws, he ad
mitted he did not know that there was
provision allowing this to be done.
This shows that Gen. Walker has set
out to damn the laws, just rs many
others do. 1t has been no unusual
thing to hear men grow furious over
them, who could not state any single
provision they contained. Gen. Walk
er is not quite this bad, but he is de-
nouncing the very boat that twice car
ried him safely over the stream.

Land Grabbers ACi Sustained.

In aR opinion delivered by Judge
Harrison of the Supreme Court in two
cases last Thursday, known as the land
grabbers" cases, the constitutiOnality of
the act was sustained. This was as ex-
pected. In the first place a court never
holds law unconstitutional unless it
be so clearly so, that there is no possible
way to avoid it, the utmost latitude
always being given to the Legislature
in making laws. 1t was therefore ex-
pected that the act would be sustained.
But the way out of this outrage on The
property owners of the State, is to re
peal the law, and this can be attended
to when we elected our next Legislative
body. Pledge the candidates to a re-
peal of it.

Years ago if man stopped to TAX
advantage OF another simply becaus
he had the power the entire world de
nounced him. In this day and time i
is yet crime among large class o.
people, but there are many who credit
the advantage takers with being tn,
brainy men Of our country. The latest
crime Of this character has just bser
unearthed and the President Of thesc
United States and Mark Hanna are the
guilty parties. The story is best told
by Hon. John Sherman. who since the
death Of James &. Blaine ranks as the
brightest light in the Republican party.
MI. Sherman says:
Il was always supporter of Presi
dent Mckinley. You know that what
ever he desired to have-goveruOr, pres
ident, anything-I sustained. They

who loves his party Mr.. Sherman has
withheld from the public this statement,
but when he heard that Mr.. Hanna.
had said that he, Sherman. was grow
ing fOrgetful and senile, it was too
much for the old man and lie could no
longer withhold the truth that was
known only to himself. The Ohians |
had always elected Mr.. Sherman to the !
Senate by unanimous vote, but when |
Mr.. Hanna came along for reelection he
won by one vote and was afterwards
indicted for bribery in securing that
much. Men in Office should always be
grateful to those who aided them in
their promotion, but Mckinley and
Hanna appear to be without this princi !

written. One is the n orth the other
the South. Mr.. Mckinley has changed
the text, and now, writes the United
States as one. He necessarily has much
to say about the war. He praises the
valor Of our soldiers and the patriot
ism OF our people, he notes with empha-
sis our cordial relations with Great
Britain and the annexation of Hawaii,
but he does not lay down any plan for
the government of Cuba, Porto Rico or
the Philippines, but leaves them for
the present to the military rule estab-
lished. He recommends an increase for

ton, 2 change in the extIadition laws.
and conference with Mexico TO avoid
smuggling over the border, he asks for

an amendment to the alien labor laws.
He wants the army Increased to 100 900
men, but does not recon mend any
financial legislation, any change of the
tariff, or decrease Of existing taxa
tIon. He discreetly asks for no force
bills, uor does he propose to stir the
country TO its depths by asking Con
gress to take hold of the race question.
Had he asked reduction Of taxes. and

procity or otherwise. we would have
