jealousy and idle talk among the sisters,

DwALE, DIcKESsoS Co., Va, Aug. 30
General James A. Walker, the republican
candidate for congress against W. T.
Rhea, from the Ninth, delivered a speech
at ClintwOod on Saturday. The audience
was not large, perhaps numbering $50
all told. Some democrats we're on hand.
All we're attentive to the speakers re-
marks, but the enthusiasm was only nor
NAL. except that pi an old gentleman in
the crowd who was particularly noticeable.
The speaker said that good prices now
prevail generally, and exceptionally good
prices a. 10 sheep and calves, aud atfrib-
uting these prices to the wise and judicious
legislation Of the repul loan party. He
closed this topic with the remark that the
democrats ought to he ashamed to look
into the face of a sheep. This must have
been the funniest thing our old gentleman
ever heard in all his life, for he laughed
as he had never been known to laugh be-
fore. and he is noted for his laughter too.
This expression Of the Generals was get
ting pretty nearly on an intellectual level
with our old gentleman, and he saw the
solution Of the political problem more
He is probably laughing yet.
The General endorsed the Mckinley adj
ministration in toto. aud said there are
many reforms TO be inauguratcd yet. He
said the pension system is one of the
greatest frauds ever practiced upon the
American people; that millions Of dollars
are being paid out annually TO those who
are in no way entitled to il under the law.
lie said that Judge Rhea promises of
Intervention in this matter could not he
with in case Of his election; that |
he could no more prevent the carrying out |
Of the fraudulent features Of the pension
system than he could dam the Niagara
Falls with a rye straw. He seemed to
view the matter as hopeless
The General severely censured the
Walton Election law, and said that it was
designed as means Of carrying.out those
schemes Of fraud practiced by the demo-
Gratis, as he charged, in many precincts
throughout the State. But when the
average man, upon reflection recalls tile
act that this law became operative during
Walkers first campaign, he will see that
he General places himself in an awkward
altitude, as the district was largely demo-
ratio prior TO the election Of 1894. 1t
o0ks al if the General of all men ought to
ayor it.
There is an abiding faith in the demo- '
ratio household of the old Ninth, and | ,
Ope that a good report will go out from
ef on the oth day Of November. F.M.B.

HIGH TRIBUTE TO LEE.

Discussing the camps and the
condition prevailing at each. Secre-
tary Alger says:
"That atTampa was in charge of Gener.
al Coppinger, a regular army man. That
at Chickamauga, where there has been
the most sickness, was in charge of Gen
eral Brooke, regular army officer. Aud
when General Brooke was relieved he was
succeeded by General Wade, and Wade
was succeeded by General Breckinridge-
both of the regular army. Camp Alger
was in charge of General Graham. The
camp at Jacksonville was in charge OF
General Fitzhugh Lee, who is graduate
OF West Point, and has turned out 10 he
the best corps commander we have. He
has kept his command in better shape
than any Of the others"
"He had the advantage of Artesian
wells" was suggested.
"He had no advantage at all" retorted
the Secretary, sharply. He simply did hs
duty, and looked after the health of his
men as he should. lie ordered the adop-
ton of certain simple sanitary regulations
and saw to it that they were Obeyed. The
result was that he kept his great army
corps, stationed as it was where one
would naturally expect disease TO break
out, with only two per cent. Of his men
sick, while camps further north have been
overrun with disease"
The encomiums passed upon Gen
eral Lee by the Secretary Of War
indicate clearly the high estimate
placed upon him by the department,
and since every other corps comman-
der, with the sole exception Of Gen
eisl Shafter, came in for sharp crit
icism, it would seen quite clear that
none of them are to receive high
command in the future, and that
General Lee will be at the head Of
the army of occupation in Cuba.
That has not been doubted for some
iime.-RichmOnd Dispatch.

Our Invalid Army

While the work of Transporting

United States. the Spaniards had

IT is strange that neither picture
nor description Of Santiago de Cuba
gives us the slightest idea of what
the city looks like Instead of nest
ling at the base of hill on a low,
nat plain, it is in reality built on the
side OF a mountain, and from the
harbor at night resembles an altar
lighted in church. This effect
comes from the terraces rising one
above the other, and the lights of
the houses resting thereon. The
rise in places is so rapid that the
roof OF one house is on a level with
the foundation Of another. Some of
the streets leading from terrace to
terrace are so steep that it is impos-
sible for horses or mules to ascend
with heavily laden trucks, and to as
sist them are cables operated by
steam power ran upon the pavement.
to which any vehicle can be attached

Judge W p. Rhea, the democratic candi-
date for Congress from the Ninth, deliver
ed speech OF two hours length at Clint
wood on. Yesterday to large and appre =
ciative audience. Many ladies' were
present and seemed to enjoy the Judge
speech. Not few republicans were on
hand and they were attentive, and think
may venture the hope that the remarks
will prove TO be as seed sOwn upon good
| ground / do not think it was ever nv
| pleasure to witness as large and appre-
ciatye an audience before at CIintwood
The Judge opened his speech by paving
his respects to the ladies present, and pay
ing tribute to Virginia wOmanhOod. He
regretted that he could not arrange his
appointments so as TO meet the people of
Dickinson county on court day; but that
after three weeks correspondence with
his opponent relative to Joint discussions.
he had been forced bv circumstances TO
make some appointments that we're not
altogether satisfactory.
Mr. Rhea presented Walkers record in
Congress in plain, unyarnished light and
IN manner that must have carried some
degree OF conviction home to that gentle
mans constituency; for they seemed TO be |
held under the influence Of his reasoning
and logic. He said that his opponent has |
the greatest facility for changing his |
views upon questions touching the polite
al issues, OF any man living; that he was
originally democrat, and that one Of the |
most abusive of the republicans; but that
he ultimately changed his politics and
became free silver republican,, and was
elected to Congress upon free silver
platform in 1891. Then when the repub-
leans in national convention in 1896 de-
clared for gold standard platform, he
aligned himself with the party; but he
presumed that the General merely changed
his position in order to go with his party,
and that his convictions were vet un.
changed
he speaker said he considered the PEN
SION system the greatest fraud ever perpe-
ra'ed upon the American people: that
ne republicans Of the Northern States
IRE responsible for it, and that Walker
Turing bis four years in congress had
ieycr raised his hand against this enor. {
nifty tie promised that if fortune should t
avor him with election be would do all in
us power to bring about the much needed a
eiorn in this direction.
