Just when the administration is
bringing the war TO successful
close by forcing the acceptance of
its terms Of peace by Spain may
seem an inappropriate time TO enter.
tain suspicious Of the intentions of
that ADMINISTRATION, but those who
keep .hcir eyes open cannot ignore
facts. Several men known to enioy
Mr.. McKinley's confidence have
said that he did not wish the treaty
OF peace that is to be negotiated by
commissioners representing the u.
). and Spain to be completed in
time TO be discussed IN the Con
gressional campaign. for fear that
1t might become "a political ques-
ton aud thus Cause its rejection
by the Senate. What does he cx-
pect chat treaty 10 contain Evi
IDENTIFY some, hing that he thinks
the people will not approve and
which would. il known during the
campaign, be likely to cost che
Republican party votes. This
seems to- justify the criticism of the
terms of peace because of their not
being more explicit as to what mat
tiers should be left for the Peace
Com mlssi9ners to determine. MIR.
Mckinley and his ADMINISTRATION
have been Loyalty supported by
Congress and by the people, re-
CARELESS OF politics. in the Conduct
of the war, but that support will
not be extended to the treaty of
peace, If tina, treaty includes any
thing to which Spain ought not TO
be entitled. Spain has been
whipped as bad as any country ever
was, and is entitled to nothing but
what this country choses to give
her. For many reasons it is hoped
that this suspicion will prove to be
unfounded, but it has been invited
by Mr.. McKinley's own talk.

for several years as day laoorer, nelp-

which he is now to live. He made up his
mind to study law and saved his money,
came back when he had earned enough,
and matriculated in 1885 in the law de-
partment at Richmond College. Though
not having ever had more than ordinary
advantage for education, he took the
whole two years course at the college
an extensive and exceedingly thorough
course-in one year stood the eXamlna-
ton before the Supreme Court Of Vlr-
ginia, and was admitted TO the bar here
Later he decided to so back 10 Roanoke

day laborer, now he goes as member
of a noble professional living example
