KEEPING IN PRACTICE.

Three regiments, including the two
Minnesota regiments, which have been
on duty in southern camps. and are now
on furlough, are to take part in a cam
paign against the Pillager Indians. And
this campaign, says a Walker Minn)
special. is to be of greater magnitude
than any movement upon the noble red
man in which we have engaged since the
one which eliminated In the battle of
Wounded Knee.
The same special quotes missionary
who has spent thirty years at the White
Earth, Cass, and Leech Lake reserva-
tions as being of the opinion that quite
number of the Bear Island Indians will
go on the war-path. He also thinks that
they will be Joined by many dissatisfied
Indians from other tribes.
1t may therefore be said that, as those
on or about the scene of hostilities see It.,
We are in for a pretty good-sized Indian
wal.
or course, on general principles, any
war is TO be regretted. Still. in one view,
it may be that the outbreak Of the Pilla-
gers was fortunate and opportune. Con-
sidering the work We will be called upon
to perform in the Philippines in the
event that that great humanitarian, Han
ma, shall have his way. it may be well for
our soldiers to keep in practice In the
matter OF civilizing savage and semi
savage wards.

Purple AND GOLD.

The Boston Herald in a recent edito-
rial obituary, referred to the deceased as
having been born 'in the purple of the
Republican party"
This language was only "a figure OF
speech" on the part of our contempt
rary, designed to round off sentence.
But ii is suggestive of much more than
that. Unwittingly the Herald INDUCED in
a significant commentary. "The purple
Of the Republican party" is good. Con-
sidering the imperialistic policy OF that
party, it is appropriate and opportune.
And one suggestion leads to another.
Remembering the methods upon which
the keeper of the Republican campaign
purse Is said TO rely so largely in order
to the carrying out of the imperialistic
policy, and remembering also the finan-
cial fetish of the Republican party, natu-
rally and logically there comes to the
mind the words, Purple and gold"
And still another suggestion intrudes
upon us. Ordinarily we do not associate
politics and poetry. Yet certain scenes
that we are told We're witnessed around
some of the Virginia country polling
places in November. 1896, and which
there is reason to believe are likely to
be repeated next month, bring to mind
this couplet as describing Republican
methods and the Republican policA in
allegory:
1.-THE purple oak leaf falls; the birchen
bough
Drops its bright spoil, like arrowheads
of gold"

THE STUMP YESTERDAY.

Yesterday was another good day for
the Virginia Democrats. Meetings were
held at a number of places In the State,
Some Of the best speakers in our party
discussed the issues of the campaign.
and. as a rule, these speakers had fine
audiences.
Still the Democratic voters have not
warmed up as we could wish, and are
not manifesting the interest in the re-
suit next month it is their duty to mani
fest
We fear that they are over-confident,
and are banking too much on the lack
OF harmony and the apathy in the Re-
publican ranks.
The local Democratic leaders and work
ers cannot do better service to their par
" and their State than by seeing to 1t
that there SHALL be no ground for this
fear from now on. lie. IL be their mission
10 induce the voters to turn out at the
meetings, and TO warn them against the
rapidly with which the enemy can Or
ganize. Then will come both enthusiasm
and wholesome distrust OF Republican
weakness. and the rest will take care OF
itself.

THE FEVER PANIC.

Yellow-fever continues TO spread III
Louisiana and Mississippi. and panic ana
flight are the condition OF thousands OF
their men, women, and children.
Jackson, Miss. IS well-nigh abandoned'
the temporary capital Of the State Is at
Brandon, and there Governor McLaurin
is engaged in drafting an appeal TO tho
country to send supplies TO the affiicted
people OF his State.
Inasmuch as all business in Louisiana
and Mississippi Is more or less affected
by the epidemic, and since thousands OF
the well-to-do class have fed for their
lives. there must necessarily be great
numbers Of persons thrown out OF work.
Indeed. some OF the smaller railroads
have ceased running trains; courts are
no longer being held, for fear OF spread
ing the contagion; the schools generally
have suspended, and every precaution
possible is now being taken TO prevent
the ravages of the disease. And as al
ways happens in such epidemics, those
who do not OF cannot resort TO flight
have not only to nurse the sick and bury
the dead. but help feed the starving.
Our country would have been prepared
TO hear of the fever's coming here from
Cuba with the returning troops. but II
did not expect such an epidemic as this.
which is traceable to New Orleans. and
not 10 any recent communication with
Cuba.
The disease continues TO present itself
in a mild form; and. as yet, the per-
centage OF deaths has been small. The
people of Mississippi and Louisiana and
the neighboring States are praying for,
but cannot soon expect frost; the sort
of sanitary science they rely upon
mostly.
The present epidemic gives rise to re-
newed discussion as to the necessity for
a national quarantine law. The congress
men from Mississippi, we believe, OPP
posed the bill that was before the House
at the last session. 1t may or may not
be that they were right in so doing-we
do not know-but It is TO be hoped that
this winter the States most interested
will come to an understanding with the
Federal Government by which all of
them may be united to fight this re-
morseless foe. Louisiana and Mississippi
could afford to spend annually a million
each for a number of years to come 10
stamp out this disease, which is not only
costly and cruel while 1t lasts, but is a
black cloud forever lowering over the
happiness and prosperity of their people.

IS SIZE ALIvEs
A Question the Insurance Companios
wnnt Settled.


NORFOLK, VA, october 1o.-tspeciaL)
Did a certain lady meet death IN the
flames that consumed her home last Nay
or does she still live? These are the ques-
lions the answers to which the Mutual
Iifc-Insurance Company has been SEEK
ing through its special agents for mohtns
past In the hope OF solving the mysteri-
Gus disappearance OF the lady In ques-
ton. The investigation has proceeded iar
enough to show that there Is possiolii.y,
the insurance people say, that sne
was not cremated, but that sne
is alive and we'll to-day. and the
agents believe her to be in TINS
city or across the river In Ports
mouth. The houses where she Is sup
posed to be stopping are closely watched
for the reason that IL she Is alive the IN
surance people have no especial desire 10
pay out the 5000 for which the missing
woman's life was insured; S,oOO IN the
Mutual, and 5000 in the Loyal Legion
The burned home was insured for Si,ooo
and the furniture for $500. These losses
have been paid by he fire-insurance COM
panies. and the life policies would proba-
bly have been paid promptly also, but for
certain alleged suspicious circumstances
which caused the agents Of the compa-
MES TO conclude that instead OF being the
victim of a terrible accident the lady was
really alive. The fire in which she was
supposed to have lost her life caused
great excitement among her neighbors,
who thought the woman had been robbed
and murdered and the house fired to con-
ceaI all evidences Of the crime. The IN
surance people did not share that view OF
the matter, however, for strange tales
were told them of how the missing wo-
man had been seen digging in an old
graveyard a few DAYS before-a circum-
stance which might throw light upon the
gruesome human bones found among the
ruins of the house.

JAMES v. BROOKE.
Death Sunday Night OF This Promi-
nent Lawyer.


wARRENTON, VA, October 1o-(Spe-
cial.)-Mr. James V. Brooke died last
night at his home Of pleurisy, in the 18th
year of his age. For many years Mr..
Brooke was the leading lawyer at this
bar, and one of the present judges Of
the Court Of Appeals has said that in
his opinion he did not, as a lawyer, have
a superior in the State. During the war
he was in the House Of Delegates. After
the war he formed a partnership with
Major Taylor Scott, our late Attorney
General. which lasted twenty years, and
was only dissolved during Major Scott's
second term as Attorney General. The
warmest friendship ever existed between
these two able men. After the war Mr..
Brooke was also a member of the State
Senate.
In all his dealings he was a Christian.
and from early years was a member of
the Presbyterian Church, in which he
took the most active interest to the day
OF his death. Only last night he asked
his physician how long he thought his
earthly tabernacle might last and was
resigned In perfect faith to the will of
a Saviour in whom he had always trust
ed.
He leaves four sons, who are Cfty-En-
gineer William Brooke, of Norfolk; the
artist, Mr.. Richard n. Brooke, of Wash
ington; Mr.. James Brooke, a lawyer in
Dakota, and Mr.. Frank Brooke, of this
place, and one daughter, Mrs. Jennie
Payne It was with his daughter and
her children that he had long made his
home. His death is a great loss, not only
to his family, but to the whole commu-
nifty, for though he was advanced in
years he had lost nothing of his vigor
OF mind nor his interest in all questions
for the advancement or benefit Of his
Church and country.

the mystery of the incarnation, which.

pointed TO electricity as an example,
saying that the world would relapse into
