Seeing that the cost Of the work Is to

tho Senate could not find a way 10 grant
The amount originally asked for by the
board. However. by economical cuuing
of the coat according to the cloth, repre-
scented I'm the 100000 much can be done
TO remedy the great evil existing at the
institution. and relieve Virginia OF the

As TO the other amendment, we feel

COM idering the other and exacting du-

In connection with the government of the
institution. they would rather than not
be exempted from the task and response

AT the same time, there is no response

and no labor they would not gladly I'M
dertake in order to the consummation OF
the necessary improvements-improve-

lures have been urged to authorize. that
have been endorsed by prominent gather
ings Of ministers of the Gospel, and by
students of sanitation, and that
cry aloud in the name Of humanity.
The measure will now come up before
the House and we cannot think that ;hat
body will fail to concur in the action of
the Senate. Should the Legislature ed

We have used strong language in dealing
with this subject, but that it is not too
stronghold it is fully justified-must lie
admitted by any one who may have visit

Case of SrnaIi-Pox i'm Clintwood.

DWALE, DICKINSON COUNTY. VA,
February 7.-(Special.) -Your correspond
ent learns that there is a case Of small
pox in the town of Clintwood. three miles
from here. The victim is Cicero Greer,
a young man Of that place who had been
out in the infected district in Wise
county. There seems to be various opin-
ions as to whether the disease is actually
smallpox or not. Excitement ran high at
Clintwood for awhile but it has now al
most subsidized.

farmer Of the Ridge" is seriously i'll,
and her recovery is very doubtful
We are having fine weather for farm

The Boston Herald, in discussing the
impartial school history question, says
that the North holds, and the final YER
dict Of history will be, that the South
would never have carried her assertion
of State rights into war. had it not
been for fears Of the safety of her slave
institutions.
The final verdict of history will be no
thing Of the kind, If that verdict shall be
based OH the facts. However, in this
connection, the Herald shows a recog-
milton of the untenabilty of the Norths
position that the Southern States had no
right TO secede. for it also says that 1t
would be easy to agree upon the doc
trine Of State rights upon which the
South acted in its claims for the right
Of secession, but when it came to the
agency of slavery i'm bringing on the
assertion Of this right, there would be a
stumbling-block Further, this declara-
ton involves an admission that the
North did not fight to preserve ,he
Union. but in order to free the slaves.
Really, it would seem that there is a
chance of the truth of history's coming
out sooner than we had expected.

The destruction of the Maine which
cost over s2.5OO,OOO has already started a
discussion of the question whether it is
wise TO put that much money in one ship.
The Baltimore Sun. one of the papers
taking part in the discussion, notes that
the largest ship may be sunk by one tor
pedo, such as a small torpedo-boat or
destroyer" may eject from her "tubes. :"
and asks if we are not to take the Of
fensive at sea. why should we build YES
vessels of great size and cost? Smaller
vessels, continues the Sun. costing not
over $780, Co., would be ample for harbor
defence. The torpedo-boat is cheap and
efficient for local defence. The torpedo
boat destroyer, which is somewhat larger,
IS vastly more efficient. Admiral Cou-
lomb, of the British navy, is quoted as
declaring that the latter Is the naval
vessel of the future, and will drive the
huge battleships and cruisers from the
seas. He makes the point that over
twenty such boats may be built for the
money that one battleship costs. and
economy and good sense call for the
abandonment of large battleships and
cruisers. 1t is unwise, he contends. TO
put all ones eggs in one basket.
Yes. but are not the jingoes doing
everything in their power to bring about
conditions that will force us to take the
offensive?

She Was Costly.

"The man 1 refused" she said softly,
sis now rich, while the man 1 accepted
is poor"
"Of course" replied her dearest friend
sit would be just the same If you had
married the other"
The young matron could readily see
that this was a reflection upon her, but
1t was two days before she was able to
see in just what way, and even then she
wasn't sure of It.

The bill which passed the House of
Representatives on Tuesday with refer
ence to loans by national banks to their
own officers, employees, or directors had
the approval of the late Comptroller of
the Currency. and is, says the New York
Times, by no means drastic. 1t requires
that such loans shall be made only on
formal request to the board of directors.
and with the approval Of the majority of
that board or the executive committee.
The real mischief heretofore done. adds
our contemporary. has been made posi-
bic by systematic concealment of such
loans The Committee on Banking and
Currency declared in their report that
there exists no case in which the ma
jority Of the board of directors have
Intentionally permitted any loans to or
use Of the moneys of a bank by its d.
rectors or officers in AMOUNTS sufficient
to render the bank insoIvent.
