EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

The consciences of the men who run the
Democratic Machine in Virginia legitimize
any advantage they can take over their
political adversaries.
The Democrats worship the conditions
of the past. The Republicans glory in
the achievements of the present.
The Martin machine has announced its
determination to beat Fitz Lee for the
Senate. Martin has already selected his
men to run for the Legislature in the va
rious counties of the State next year.
Teddy Roosevelt will be the next Gov
ernor of the State Of New York.
The leading men of the Republican
party now confidently claim that the Re-
publicans will control the next House of
Representatives by good working major
ity.
We are not likely to hear much more
about the mismanagemcnt of the War De-
partment. Two popular Democratic Gen.
erals have refuted the campaign lies pub
lished by the Democratic press. Wheeler
and Lee haye made them sick.
The Democratic managers are claiming
that they will elect a solid Democratic del.
egation to Congress from Virginia. They
must have their machine in extra fine Or
der; but the people will break that ma
chine.
A number of our contemporaries are
giving us the credit for the announcement
that Gen. Walker is running on a twenty
dollar bull calf platform. We are not en-
titled to the credit. 1t belongs to our
esteemed contemporary, The Spirit of the
Valley.
"Coin" Harvey is now in charge OF q
large Financial School," but no graduate
will ever be President.
1t is said that "Bloody- Brides Waite"
has ceased to use hia crimson reins. He
has struck rich gold mines and is no longer
an enemy of the "gold bug"
The Lynchburg News says: "If tie
Democrats wish to exercise any influence
in shaping the policy of the country they
must gain control of the House." This
means that Democratic control of the
House of Representatives would result not
in any influence in shaping the policy of
our government but the blocking or mis-
shaping of the policy of President McKin-
ley. No such calamity, however, is
likely to befall the country.

Peaceful Scenes.

The above is the title of handsomely
illustrated and we'll written pamphlet Of
one hundred and thirty pages which has
just been sent out by the Norfolk and
Western Railway. 1t is descriptive
handbook and is intended for the use OF
travellers on the different lines ofthe road,
and contains brief descriptions of a great
many points of interest. The following is
said about places of enterest in Tazewell
county:
"Pocahontas is five miles from BramwelI
and reached by branch road from Blue
stone Junction. This town, the oldest in
the coal-field, has population of about
five thousand. Here it was, in 1881, that
the first surface work was done, and here,
also, was set off the first blast to awaken
the echoes in the surrounding forests.
Since that time Pocahontas has been stead
lily advancing, and is to-day, an enter
prising, progressive young city. At this
place are located the largest operations and
it has the greatest number Of coke ovens.
Pocahontas is just on the edge of the coal
field" etc.
Leaving Pocahontas, eastbound, the
wild ruggedness of the mountains gives
place to broad, rich meadow lands, and,
for ten miles, the train skirts the edge of
the famous agricultural region of Tazewell
county, Va.
"Two miles fror .destone Junction is
Abb's Valley, small village situated in a
section OF country closely identified with
the early history of the country. Three
times was Abb's Valley raided by the In
dians, and many desperate battles took
place, the Indians being led by the cele-
brated warrior, Black Wolf.
"Graham is the next place of impor-
tance. Here is located large blast fur
mace, and the lumber interest is considera-
BILE.
"At Graham, the Clinch Valley Dlvis-
ion of the Norfolk & Western leaves the
main line, but its eastern terminus is at
Bluefeld. This division, one hundred and
three miles in length, extends from Blue
field to Norton, near the border line of
Kentucky, where connection is made with
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad for
points West and Southwest. The section
which it traverses is one of the richest, ag-
ricultuially, in the State, and is noted for
it's fine cattle and sheep, and thorough
bred horses.
AS the train rolls off the miles, the tra7-
eler's interest increases. On either hand
are well-tilled farms, and the hills and val
leys, covered with q rich pasturage OF
bluegrass, are dotted with the finest cattle
to be found anywhere. The natural fea-
lures of the landscape are charmingly at
tractive, and presented in pleasing sue
cession. Along the more favored spots Of
the valley are scattered towns and villages,
but these are, for the most part, small,
and serve as shipping points for the vast
amount of farm products and cattle sent
out from this section each year.
"Tip Top, ten miles from Graham, is
the highest railroad point east of the
Rockies.
"Tazewel, nine miles further, is a neat
little village, and the shipping point for q
rich back section of country. 1t is con-

FRENCH PRESS ANXIOUS.
Hopes the United States Will Be "Gen-
erous to Spain"

Paris. October 10.-The United States
Peace Commission held two sessions to-
day. They were devoted to acquiring and
weighing information relative to all the
questions involved in the matters under
the immediate consideration of the COM
missioners. 1t is believed that the ques-
tions now being discussed relate to Cuba
and the adjustment of the debt of that
island. The Paris newspapers show evil
dence of anxiety in behalf of the Spanish
cause.
The Gauois this morning reviews the
political situation and draws the conclu-
sion that "between the alleged Republi-
can purpose of expansion and the Demo
cratic opposition thereto, President Nc
Kinley and the United States Commission
will be inspired, after all, with the senti-
ments of generosity, which are the honor
of victorious nations" :"
The keynote of these expressions seems
to have been sounded by a Spanish diplo-
mat to an American here last week, the
diplomat saying the United States should
be generous to Spain That remark and
the utterances Of the French press give tc
each other added significance.
A dispatch from Madrid this morning
says the cost of the Cuban and Philippine
campaigns will exceed 3,OOO,OO0,CO(
pesetas.
NJ. Jules Cambon, the former French
ambassador at Washington, arrived II
Paris this morning. He will remain here
for two months.

Walker In GILES.

Pearisburg, Oct. 12.-Special Gen. Walker
spoke here yesterday to crowd of about
$50 voters. Rhea also spoke to about 25O
voters. The Democrats took the court
green and the Republicans then went into
the court house. Nobody asked for a
Joint discussion. The day passed pleas
antly and the Republicans seem to be
getting enthused. The outlook has not
been so good in the county up to the pres
ent time, but will improve from now on,
Gen. Walker was in fine trim, high spirits
and confident of reelection.

NOT FROM THE SOUTH.

In discussing with Captain Howell the
question of rations, supplied to Camp
Thomas, General Boynton volunteered
the suggestion that there had been no
complaints from Southern soldiers in the
camp, "and" he continued, 81 do not be-
lieve we would have heard half the out
cry that has been raised if all the soldiers
had been from the South"

they should be. The surgeons of higher
rank were all competent men.

SIS that from my commando" General
Lee asked in evident surprise.
When informed that it was, he said
that he was astonished and asked for the
name of the author. He said in this con-
nection that occasional complaints had
come to him which he examined and in
every case found them to be unfoupded.
"Then," said Governor Beaver, after
some further questioning, "you consider
yourself in good condition in every way
to start on the expedition to Cuba?"
TOUCH THE BUTTON.
81 do" replied General Lee, "touch a
button and we are prepared even to go tc
Madrid"
He expressed the opinion that it was
impossible for any of the general troops
to do any great amount Of campaigning
in the summer months on account OF the
heat. Not even the Spanish and Cubar
forces had ever been very active in the
s,mmer season. He thought troops goinE

Speaking of war tho Chicago Inter
Ocean lines up our navy as follows:
One of our battle ships is lost. We
have three others at Tortugas, just be-
low the Havana horizon. There are, j.
800 sailors, fighting mad, on them, ready
to fire fifty large sized guns from the
decks. The Indiana has 1G of these
guns, the Iowa IS, the Massachusetts 16
and the Texas, now at Galveston, 8.
Each of these ships has crew of about
$50 men. With these battle ships, in
Admiral Sicard's squadron, is tho armor-
ed cruiser New York, with l8 guns and
nearly 500 mcr. Within call at Hamton
roads is the Brooklyn, an improved New
York, foremost in that grade of warships
in all the world, with 90 guns and 500
men.
In commission at Norfolk is that
queen of fighters, the monitor Puritan,
with her 10 guns, and at her side is the
monitor Terror, with her guns. At
Port Royal is the monitor Amphitrite,
with guns. These three monitors
muster close to 500 men in their crews.
The world has not improved on these
ships in fighting type. Others may steam
faster, may go farther, but none can
fight better than the monitors, and tho
Puritans lead them all.
Then at Tortugas is the cruiser Mar.
blehead, and at Mobile the cruiser De-
troit, unarmored but strong and sinewy
each with 10 guns and $50 men each
These vessels might be shot through
and, although their thin sides would be
as so much paper to the modern project.
lie, their guns would make havoc in a
bonbardment or on vessels of their own
class. Their engines, tho heart of the
warship anatomy, are protected, and
only tarpedo's blow would stop the
firing of her guns.
| At Tortugas or Havana we have the
torpedo boats Gushing and Ericsson; al
Mobile we have the new tarpcdo boats
Dupont and Porter; at Norfolk we have
the torpedo boat Footc, and at New
York is the torpedo boat Stilctto. On
these vessels are about $50 men. They
deal with the most deadly of modern
weapons Of war.
In the West indies within immediate
reach, we have the Montgomery, with IL
( guns and 25o men, now at Port Antonio
Jamaica, having left Santiago dc Cuba,
perhaps fortunately. on Feb. 10. The
Nashville is at Galveston. She has 6
guns and $50 men. The Newport {
guns and 1875 men, is at Colon; the Wick
sburg, guns and l35 mop. is at st
Kits; the Wheeling, 6 guns and 13.
men is at La Guayra.
So much for the warships in commits
sion and within immediate striking dis
tance. They represent % vessels, will
noarly 200 high power guns in tho mai,
battries TO say nothing of the secondar,
batteries and tho hundred or more tor
pcdocs with which tho vessels are sup
piled, and thcy carry fully 5000 men

he bravest, sturdiest fighters in auy

the bravest, sturdiest fighters in any
navy.
This country has still further strength
in ships available. There are the great
scouts, the Columbia and Minneapolis,
lying at the League island yard in Phil
adelphia, ready for work the instant
crews can be raised to operate them.
Down in Brazil we have the little Cas-
tine and the stocky Cincinnati under
commission, and probably tugging at
their chains by this time, in their anx-
iety to hasten northward
Over at Lisbon, with officers, are the
Helena, the San Francisco and the
Machias. These vessels would add
about 60 guns and 1000 men to our
strength.
Our ships have powder and projcctilcs
and our plans of fighting have been
made; week after week and far into the
nights, the naval authorities at Wash
ington have been making arrangements
to meet any attack from Spain. If
trouble comes it will find the admins
tration prepared.

will gladly with out stretched arms
offer apology, accept all demands made

care to war Uncle Sam.
