oNr MORE SENSATIONAL LIE.

Tho human mind seems TO have am IN
s,s,able tendency towards sensatonaiism'
II IS only the careful and the judicious
who save themselves from being its VIC
Tins
WHY the Juror should have been raised
.bout SAMPSON and schey we never
conid understand. If any one had reau
the first announcement of our victory
over Cervora's squadron with the small
est attention. he would have seen that
there was no case in IT OF the triumph
OF any one man. but that il was VIC
tory achieved through the discipline and
splendid efficiency Of the United states
navy. which teaches every officer and
man 10 20 for the enemy when he sees
him and fight him increasingly so long as
he keeps his flag anoat
We pointed this out at once. but the
sensafionalist would have 30 that case
Of hero-maklng had come, and that schley
was the hero Commodore Schley IS
grand man and ne did his part in The bat
tie ike the man that he SIS. But Captain
Evans ana Captain Clark and Captain
Philip and captain Cook and Captain
TAYLOR and an the other commanding
officers are grand men and AN OF them
did their duty. too and admiral samp-
son is a frst-class man also, and he did
his duty. too. There was no case for eN-
alting one Of them above the other. All
this is recalled 70 us boy the puncture OF
another wind-bag that Sampson and the
Secretary Of the Navy have made by CALI
ing on the Associated Press 10 give them
the name of the person who sent dis
patch 10 them that schlcy had always
been Of opinion that Sampson could nave
entered the harbor OF Santiago I'm spite
Of the mines and that he ought 20 have
done Il. As soon as they learned OF it
schiey called on sampson and told him
he had never said such thing. that he
ala not believe IL TO have been possible
and that he heartily approved of tho poll
icy that Sampson had pursued.
And so goes another sensational lie TO
the eternal limbo OF lies.

APPOINT BUSINESS MEN.

A bin was passed by the last Congress
and the act was approved 10y the Pres
ident on June 18th authorizing the APP
pointment Of a non-partican commission
ito colato information and 70 consider
and 10 recommend legislain to meet
tho problems presented by labor agti-
culture and capital"
The commission thus created IS TO be
called the Industrial Commission, and
IS 10 be composed as follows: hve mem
bers OF the Senate. to be appointed by
the presiding officer thereof; five mem
hers Of the House OF Representatives, 20
be appointed by the Speaker; and nine
other persons. who shall fairly represent
the different industries and cmploymcnis
10 be appointed by the President by and
with the approval and consent Of the
Senate.
The duty OF this commission VIII be
10 Investigate questions pertaining 20
immigration. TO labor. TO agriculture. to
manufacturing. and 20 business and 20
report TO Congress and 10 suggest such
legislation as ~ may deem best upon
these subjects" II IS expected that the
commission will furnish information.
and to suggest such laws as may be
made the basis for uniform legislation
by the various States OF the Union IN
order 10 harmonic conflicting interests
and 20 be equitable 20 the laborer. tho
employer. the producer and the consul
mer."
We confess that we have very little
faith IN this "non-partisan commission
Whenever a bin IS introduced 20 create
such a commission. we cannot but sus-
pect political job. that the commission
is appointed as sap 20 some political
element and 10 give once TO the ia
vorites OF the party IN power.
However. the Industrial Commission
may be able to do something for the
interest of the country. and now that
Il has been appointed we wish II we'll.

are upon the records OF the nation De
nominated treason, and the heroes who
defended constitutional liberty branded
az traitors.
Some great expunging resolution must
be adopted. some great explation must
be made for the awful crime which the
North has committed against the South.
We say this as an abolitionist. The
history Of Virginia from IT'S earliest rec
ords show that she was the pioneer that
blazed the way for the liberation Of the
enslaved African. Tho earliest legisia-
tive enactments IN Christendom for the
acknowledgment Of the negro were pass
ed In virginia one OF her principal
causes Of revolt against the crown OF
England was that negrq slavery was
forced upon her. Her statesmen de-
nounced 10 as impolitic. her philanthropy
lists deplored &c as inhuman, her repre-
sentatves voted against IL In conven-
ton. when Massachusetts and the ances-
tors OF Garrison and Cay end Lowell
voted for it, because their ships were
engaged in bringing negroes from Africa
and selling them to she Southern states
and 10 the West Indies.
Washington liberated HIS slaves. Jener-
son was an ardent aboltonist. Madison
as statesman opposed slavery. after
Monroe was named the capitol OF tho
African republic Liberia, 20 which the
African Colonization Society tried 20
send the liberated slaves.
Tho moving spirit in Virginia was TO-
wards the liberation of the negro, while
the slave ships Of Massachusetts, were
actively engaged IN bringing them 20 this
country under a provision OF tho cons'i-
tuition which was forced upon Virginia
by a combination Of the New England
States and the cotton states.
We recite these facts because Il IS
proper that young VirgnIans should
know the truth. and mat they should
never offer an apology 20 any Northern
abouuonists for the position which Viz
ginia has taken from the first 10 last in
her glorious career
