Sleep, an! sleep. ye brave, and listen
In your dreams 70 battles hum;
See the foeman's armor glisten;
Hear the bugle note and drum;
Heads that rest on unslung knapsacks,
Meath your blanket and the night,
Close beside tho bristling gun stacks,
Dream OF morrow and the fight.
From the cottage homes or manors.
Whence ye came, a nations pride.
Prayers are rising for your banners,
And that veal may them betide.
'Twixt the hearthstone and the byouac.
Love IS whispering words OF cheer;
'Twixt the pillow and the knapsack.
Love, in dreams. bring lovers near.
When those heads are white with glory,
And the shadows from the west
Lengthen. as you tell your story,
In the veterans ward OF rest.
May no migrate word OF sneering
Reach one heart OF all the brave.
But may honor praise and cheering,
Guard old valor 10 the grave.

IMPERIALISM DEFENDED.

Captain Camm Patteson. OF Buckingham,
IS both rhetorical and historical, and has
such strong flavor OF philosophy in his
writings that his advocacy OF subject
is calculated to deceive even the elect.
Whatever he writes IS read II not APP
proved. We publish, therefore, else
where as a matter Of interest, not to say
curiosity. an enthusiastic defence OF i'm
perialism by Captain Patteson.
He appeals TO the stalwart Democracy
Of Virginia to throw away the theories
of Thomas jefferson and to exalt the
banners Of George Washington(O and
Alexander Hamilton ignoring the fact
that Hamilton was an avowed monarch
ist and that Washington deplored foreign
complications. How widely he differed
from Captain Patteson can best be de-
scribed by the statement that we think
his views on Imperialism are about as
safe for the international policy Of this
government as his desire to have the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver at 16 70
/ would have been a reliable and just
basis for our financial system.
George Washington and Thomas JEFF
ferson are not yet obsolete as statesmen
in the esteem OF the American people.

prepared to exchange their opinions as
our guides for the visions of Foraker In

DELUDED SPANIARDS.

II IS said that the Queen Regent Of
Spain burst into tears when the Ministers
Of Marine and War communicated to her
the desperate condition of affairs at San
tiago.
The inevitable conclusion is that the
Queen Regent hoped for better things.
Indeed the Spanish seem TO have shut
their eyes to the plain facts, and from
the first, proud. naughty people that they
are. have seemed to believe that they
would conquer in this war. 1t is incon-
ceivable that any intelligent people could
have so deluded themselves; but the
Spanish are peculiar. The masses are
ignorant and know nothing whatever OF
the wealth and resources and power Of
the United States. They look upon us
as a nation of pig stickeTs who are easy
TO overcome. Those in authority know
better. but they hold the people of this
country in such supreme contempt, that
they have not been able to bring them
selves 10 face the fact that this contest
could only result in disaster to Spain.
This fact will be impressed upon them
most forcibly during the coming week.
and there are any tears yet FOR the poor
Kueen to shed.

The Texas and Her Critics.

What has become OF the erstwhile ac-
tive critics OF the battleship Texas? In
time of peace, these self-cOnstituted ex-
perts waged a relentless war upon the
vessel which the Navy Department had
dared 10 have built az this navy yard,
notwithstanding the fact that other ships
suffered many mishaps OF a more seri-
Gus nature. Now that actual war has
come upon us, however, and the Texas
has had an opportunity TO get into line
OF battle the legions OF hyper-cTlhcism
maintain an unnatural silence. And
well they may.

the Navy, Admiral Sampson compliments

the investent OF Sauago. this Virginia
bilt fighter has been performing valiant
and effective service. Let US take, FOR

We find in Il repeated and conspicuous
mention Of the Texas. For an hour
we are told, 1.-THE duel between the Texas
and the forts continued. The most spec
tacular 50 far in tho war II was. The
Workmanship Of the Texas was mar
velous Though over two miles away
and in an awkward position, she drop
ped shell after shell right on the ridge
OF the hill where the enemy's guns lay.
The crew OF the flagship greeted each
OF these loud cheers. Finally, the
enemys shots became few and far be-
tween They had probably been driven
from their guns. All the other battle
ships IN the United States navy lay in a
semi-circle watching the wonderful work
OF the Texas"-Norfolk Landmark.

way f. the best way. Land boors and
unnatural conditions of business brought
about by artificial means OF whatever
kind are invariably attended by reaction.
1t is law OF physics that action and re-
action are equal and opposite. In the
business world reaction seems 10 be
more than equal TO action. for the period
of depression that follows n boom is al
ways longer than the period Of cxhilira-
ton. and the evil consequences and the
disasters that follow are largely more
than equal 10 the profits that the boom
for a time brought. II takes n man sew
eral days TO get over the effects Of one
day Of intoxication. at least it IS so cur
rently reported.
Prosperity cannot be created by aTti-
fetal means. 1t must come in the nat
ural way and this country Is most pros
porous when conditions are unreal, when
there is no excitement or agitation. when
the government lets business alone. when
the politicians do not try to make good
times. when all men attend 10 their own
AFFAIRS and work TO the best advantage
with the means on hand in short when we
let nature and the natural laws OF trade
regulate the country instead OF trying 20
regulate It ourselves. We cannot make
prosperity by legislation.

NEGRO ENTERPRISE FAILS.

During the past three or four years
certain enterprising negroes in North
Carolina have been attepting 10 raise
among their race the sum Of $4,000 for
the purpose of establishing at Concord.
in that State a cotton mill to be manned
entirely by negroes. For a while the
colored people seemed to take an interest
in the enterpris, and the whites who are
interested in the manufacture OF cotton
gave 1t Encouragement because they were
anxious to see the experiment tried. We
are told that the enterprise has prac-
tically failed, and the chief reason as
signed IS that the negroes themselves
were deferred from entering into it by
fear of its failure. that they distrusted
the willingness Of the negro TO conform
to factory exactions as to hours Of labor
and steadiness Of employment.
We gather this from a letter from Con-
cord N. c.. in the New York Evening
Post. and we submit that there is in the
statement something for the colored man
to think about.

AS OUR FOREFATHERS VIEWED

1--WE hold these truths TO be self-evient
that all men are created equal; that
they are endowed by their Creator with
certain inalienable rights; that among
these are life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness. That to secure these rights
governments are instituted among men,,
deriving their just powers from the con-
sent of the governed.
That doctrine is as old as the Ameri-
can republic. It lies at the foundation
Of our institutions. 1t IS a part and par
eel of the Declaration Of independence.
We submit it is an eloquent and ali-suf-
fcient argument against war Of con-
quest, against taking forcible posses
sion OF the islands of the sea and ruling
them against the consent Of the inhabi-
tants.

PROSPERITY VIRGINIA.

We find in the column Of our esteemed
contemporary, the Salem Tmes-Register.
an editorial article which is full OF en-
couragement and inspiration 1t sets
out with the statement that Roanoke
county has about recovered from the la
mentable effects OF the late boom pc
rlod which caused the farmers to neglect
their lands. Farmers are no longer ex-
pecting TO get rich by selling or their
lands into town lots, but by cultivating
them and reaping the rich harvests OF
the soil. The Times-Register says that
the farms of Roanoke county will yield
more TO the acreage this year than for
many years past. that the number Of
acres In cultivation Is far greater than
formerly. that the wheat crop is the larg-
est In thirty years. that corn never look
ed better, and that unless something un-
foreseen happens the money realized by
the farmers under the general enhance
ment Of prices will far exceed that for
many years past.
Another interesting statement from the
sae source Is that nearly every farmer
in the county is now growing an orch
ard. with the promise that Roanoke coun-
ty will soon be recognized as one OF TO
most productive fruit-growing sections Of
Virginia.

TRIPLES IN RELIGION.

At a recent session of the New York
Presbytery one of the graduates OF the
Union Theological Seminary who was
candidate for license to preach upon ex-
animation expressed entire confidence in
tho divine inspiration Of all the Scrip
lures purely religious. but was doubtful
OF the historical accuracy OF portions OF
the Bible. When asked to particularize
he mentioned the books OF Jonah and
Esther, which he was not prepared TO
take as inspired amid literal.
The incident Is full of interest and has
no doubt brought the Presbytery to seri-
Gus reflection. We cannot but admire the
young mans honesty and candor. We
have no doubt that such doubts have sug-
gested themselves TO many a young stu
dent and TO many an old preacher for
that matter, but few have had the cour-
age TO give them expression.
We do not know what will be done with
this young man. but we cannot agree
that he IS unfit 10 expound the Scriptures
simply because he interprets the book OF
Jonah as an allegory rather than as an
historical fact Religion is the most rea-
sonable thing in the world and 1t does
not make unreasonable exactions OF any
man Many things must be accepted on
faith. 10 be sure, but a man may believe
in God and serve God acceptably VINO mas
not the full measure Of faith which may
he vouchsafed TO another There are
great fundamental principles OF religion
which are fully and logically expounded
nv the Scriptures. II Is enough that
these are understood and accepted ana
made the rule of conduct without SUCK
ling for non-essentials.
Several years ago Professor Moan r.
Davis. Of the University Of Virginia, one
~ the most distinguished Bible scholars
in this country delivered a series OF lee
lures on special providence which great
w offended certain devout members OF
the church. Without going in TO the dis
cussion. we remarak that Professor Davis
took the position that it did no good, but
rather harm. TO preach a doctrine not
warranted in his opinion by the Scrip
lures, which has a tendency In many
cases TO weaken rather than strengthen
the faith Of professed Christians. He
believed that there were great laws OF
nature which worked themselves out at-
ter ne ordinance Of God who made them
and that they were not to be interfered
with upon the whimsical petition OF TINS
man or that. He said that he would not
shake any mans faith, he would not
rob any protesting Christian OF mis- COM
fort. but he sought rather to strengthen
his faith, TO make it sure by warning
him against an unwarranted presump-
ton.

It has for long time been a question

a municipality to furnish water and gas
and other city conveniences to persons

do not pay corporation taxes. Certain

the question as to whether or not the
municipality has the right TO do so. The
case was heard by Judge White. OF the

that '1t would seem that the power to
