for sometime, but ex-Representative
Kerr, of Va, who is Secretary of the
Committee and who has done about
all the managing that have been done
for it, candldly stated that it was
reasonably certain that the republi
cans would control the Senate after
next March, and that the sole object
of his committee in this campaign
was to elect majority of the House
that would block republican legisla
ton. He also stated that even if the
House should be controlled by auti-
republicans, there would be no. legis

opinion as to what policy should b.
followed. In other words, Mr.. Kerr
confesses that opposition to repubi
cans is the only thing upon which
the democrats can be depended to
act together. Present indications
are that the voters will block this
little scheme.

MAUsER RIFLEs.-The Board of
Army officers appointed to examine
the Spanish small arms captured at
Santiago, has made a report that
seven thousand of the Mauscr srihes
could be easily put in condition to be
used. The Board did not report on
the question of using these rifles III
the army, but unless there should
come time when more rifles would
be needed in a hurry than we could
get, there is no probability that we
will ever use them. The Mauser
rifle requires ammunition that is not
interchangeable with any rife used
in our army, That alone is enough
to prevent our making use of these
seven thousand rifles which can easily
be sold.

of the Civil Service Commissioners
NJ. S. Brewer has admitted, very
much to the disgust Of certain smart

to invite the Ohio republicans holding
Federal Offices to call on him at a
private address, even though he solic-
tied contribution from those who ac-
cepted his invitation. The law says
no campaign contributions shall be

MORE PROSPERITY Mr.. Charles
Counselman, member of the Chi
cago Board Trade, who is now in
Washington, gives the following as a
business mans view of the political
outlook: Just as soon as this election
is over and the country feels once
more safe, by reason of the success of
the republicans, there is going to en-
sue an era Of the most wonderful
prosperity in our history. The sue
cess Of the republicans this year, |
deem vital, for it will mean the permi-
nent elimination of the free silver is

to carry the House they will feel en-
couraged to once more try to rouse
the people with the financial fallacies
that they failed with in 1896. That

WASHINGTON LETTER.
AFrom the TrIhun e's Corresponding
Washington, Oct. "a, 1898.

Washington, Oct. "a, 1898.
PREsID1NT MCKINLEY talks with
the greatest enthusiasm of his expert
ence on his Western trip. Although
il was period of hard work for him,
as in addition to the speeches he
made and the receptions he held, he
transacted great deal of important
public business, having been accom-
panied by two secretaries and in con
slant telegraphic communication with
Washington, he says he would not
have missed the object lesson in the
patriotism of the people, which he
saw everywhere, for anything. He
will, this week attend the peace jubl-
lee at Philadelphia and possibly
make short trip further east. Pres
ident Mckinley will not talk politics
for publication, but his personal
friends know that he is pleased with
the political information he obtained
on his trip and that heis perfectly con-
fident that the country will empha-
size reimbursement of his administra-
ton and its great accomplishments
by electing republican majority of
the House, to assist the republican
Senate, which will exist next March,
in carrying out his policy and in
maintaining and adding to the pros
peritv which the country is now en-
joying as direct result of republican
legislation and administration, His
confidence in the success of the re-
pubiicans in Congressional elections
is shared by the party leaders who
are in Washington.

the Virginia Bar association at Old
Point Comfort, his topic being The
Supreme Court of the United States"
He said 1t must be agreed that the
court has scrupulously kept itself
aloof from political controversy and
kept of the domain which belongs to
the political power of the country. II
would have been intolerable had 10
been otherwise"
In concluding he said:

which it has ever had to deal have
overthrow, baffled and brought to
naught the policy in regard to the

been trained. and which, suppose.

American people. submit, believe
that the example of such submission
is better and promises more for the
continued life of the republic than
any party success or than the prcva-
lcnce of any special policy. The life

Happy New Year.

Times may be a little hard, but we
believe everybody hereabouts had
more or less OF MERRY Christmas"
and are disposed to enter upon the
''Happy New Year" with bouyant
hopes and bright expectations. This
is sensible and right, and in accord
ance with the God-given principle of
Hope implanted in our natures. 1t
matters not what reverses or disas-
ters overtake US, "HOpe springs eter-
nal in the human breast" and the
majority OF people are disposed to
look forward to the good time CON-
ing. Well, we believe their long-6e-
layed expectations bid fairtc be real
lied in q short time; and, in few
more days, or weeks at best, happi-
ness and content will be the portion
of all those who have learned tOlabor
and to wait upon Him who doeth al
things for His creatures good. In
deed, the most confirmed cynics and
skeptics see the signs OF the times,
and do not fail to mingle with their
croakings their belief in an early
change for the better. Taking this
view of the immediate future, We
would encourage all to be of good
cheer, and close this article by wish
ing them a glad Happy New Year.
