The Curse OfPOliticS.

"What do l get out of it?" is one
Of the official stumbling-blocks en-
countered by the discoverer of a
certain disinfectant, when he sought
to induce the war department to
use the germicide at the sick-camps.
In his innocence and surpris the
maker responded "The assurance
that by using it disease and fever
would be greatly lessened and the
ground rendered pure and
wholesome" The official laughed
in the speakers face. 81 know it is
an excellent thing, but we won't
take it just for that" Apparently
humatarian ides do not influence
men who run things on red tape,
what do-we-get-out-of-it principles.
Is this one of the shameful mis-
takes which have cost so many of
our brave boys their lives and
health, or is it the we'll. understood
"business transaction" sanctioned
by the government? The "pull''
in this war has been quite general,
especially in the selection of camp
sites.-Sanitarian.

A Destroyer of Liberty

Government by injunction is the
most absolute despotism and the
most fragrant usurpation known to
organized society. The power of
the federal judges, as constructed
by themselves, is greater than the
constitution or the fundamental
rights of men. 1t suspends the
freedom of speech and of the press.
1t destroys individual liberty.
1t exceeds in pretension and In
performance the exploded doctrine
of the divine rights.
No greater menace to our liberties
could be be devised than the
federal judges arbitrary assumption
omnipotence and infallibility.

Rabbits and Fruit Trees

The time of year has arrived
again when it is necessary to take
some precaution to prevent rabbits,
mice and other animals from bark
ing the fruit trees. This can be
done in a thoroughly satisfactory
manner by getting a box of Fra.
zier's axel grease and with soft
cloth of some kind apply to each
tree. Put just enough on the body
of each tree to make it feel slick
from the ground to the first limb
or as high as the rabbits are likely
to reach if they should undertake to
bark the trees.

Trouble in the Church

Hard words were passed on every
hand and lifelong friendship broken
Till of Christian love and charity
there was neither sign nor token.
Then teachers quit the Sunday
school, and singers left the choir,
And Elder Brown, in public, called
Deacon Jones liar;
And brother hated brother, and
things grew worse each day;
Till Satan seemed to rule the church
with undisputed sway.
Ofcourse each side we're certain they
were in the right,
And each side were determined to
the bitter end to fight.
At length the evening came around
on which the congregation
One way or another should decide
the fatal complication.
And as officers and members filed IN
and took their places,
Fixed stubborness and naughty pride
married many genial faces;
And the young men in the gallery
commented on the scene
With many careles word and jest,
less godly far than keen.
And the powers OF sin and evil must
have looked on in delight,
And if the blessed angels weep, they
surely wept that night,
For the mine was charged with hat>
red and the tram was laid in pride,
And it needed but an sngy word and
the match to be applied.
Then quietly stranger rose, with
air suhdued and meek
And in low and trembling voice
asked leave that he might speak;
Which being granted him he turned
and faced the brethren there;
His head was white as driven snow
and bowed with age and care.
"Most forty years ago." he said "our
church had trouble too,
Then J. was young and strong and,
proud, just like the most OF you,
Our side was bound 10 have its way
for we knew that we were right;
But the others, they were just as sure
; and we had bitter fight.
And cruel words were spoken, and
, spiteful deeds were done,
Such words and deeds as Christians,
as brethren should shun;
The bands of love were broken that
before our hearts had knit
In Christian peace and fellowship
and at last our church was split.
| had a son" the old mans voice we
knew could hardly hear
And with his trembling hand he
wiped withered cheek tear
had an only son" he said. "a lad
so bright and fair,
DISAPPOINTING to the gallery
like one Of you up there.
Before the trouble came he had the
way Of life been seeking
And he had almost glen his heart
into the Savior's keeping.
But when the fight began l seemed
to clean forget the state,
And twas over, then l found that
had thought Of hin,-too late.
For when l spoke OF God and of
eternity
He laughed little scornful laugh,
and guessed he'd wait and see.
l tried most hard to save him, for l
loved him more than life.
But he answered ever with some Jest
about our Christian strife
The old mans head bent lower. and
his tears ran down like rain
And in that congregation few could
their tears restrain
So still they were his broken words
to all were audible;
| buried him ten years ago and-he-
died an inffdel."
The trouble in the church is past, and
a work Of grace begun,
And it started with the story of the
aged strangers son;
For the leaders in the fight Joined
before the congregation,

ed? The present war between the United
States and Spain he's been the outgrowth
of sympathy on the part Of the American
people for the oppressed population of
Cuba. Spanish inhumanity had become
SO outrageous and had been so long con-
tinued on the fair West Indian island that
popular indignation in this country could
no longer be restrained and Spain was
commanded to leave Cuba or fight.
The result of the conflict will inevitably
be the freedom of Cuba and the loss OF
other territory TO Spain. Humanity at
large will be greatly benefited by that re-
suit. but our own country will, it seems,
receive peculiar blessing from the war,
that at first was not anticipated. 1t has
given an opportunity to the different sec
tons of the Union to properly appreciate
each other; and the cordial manner IN
which the Southern States have rallied to
the country's cause has awakened hearty
enthusiasm at the North for our section,
cementing the two sections with ties that
once were strong but that had been broE-
on bv the terrible civil strife of lS6l-65.
One of the most significant proofs of the
wiping out of sectional lines is the APP
pointment of Generals Fitzhugh Lee and
Joseph Wheeler as major generals in the
Federal army. These two men were gen
erals in the Confederate army and Demo
Gratis. President Mckinley, Republican
and a veteran of the Union army, has
shown his appreciation Of the loyalty OF
the South by honoring among the very
first, two men who were specially popular
in our section. His conduct speaks for
itself. He says by these appointments,
the time has come at last when we should
know no North or no South, but when all
our men shall be known as Americans,
when sectional lines shall be obliterated,
1t looks as if the war would give us once
more reunited, common country. If
this be true the war will not be fruitless
to our own people.

THE pARTY'S PLAN.

Under the plan of organization the time
has been reached not only for the necessary
steps looking to the campaign for the cleo
ton of congressman from the different dis
tricts of the State, but also to call upon the
people to select their representatives in the
State organization called the Republican
State Committee. 1t is providedIfor in the
plan of organization referred to, article |
section iv.
"There shall be Congressional commit
tee for each Congressional district, com
posed of chairman Ito be elected by the
delegated Congressional convention) and
one member from each county and city IL
the district, to be elected by the respective
county and city conventions held to sent
delegates to the said Congressional Con
yention."

WAR AND BUSINESS.
HostiIities Have Had But Little Effect
The Manila Victory BoOms Trade.

RIG. Dun & Cos Weekly Review of
Trade of last week said
A state of war was so greatly dreaded
by those who have seen nothing like it
for more than thirty years that its coming
has hurt less than its apprehension.
Especially since the victory at Manila,
indicating superioty of the American navy,
gun for gun, expectations that the war will
not last long has influenced all markets,
aud stocks have advanced the average of
prices for railroads S2.79 per share. The
general condition of business has been
materially improved. One days work by
the officers and lnen at Manila has given
many days work to thousands of people
at home of whom they knew nothing, and
has placed all American industries and in
terests on stronger footing for any con-
ceivable future.
The fact that gold is now used almost
exclusively between the treasury and the
clearing house indicates the entire free
dom from apprehension about the cur
rency of public credit.
The most sensational of all changes and
the most practically important has been
the rise in wheat % 1-2 cents for the week,
throwing into the shade all past advances
and ali expectations, though reaction Of
IL ~ cents naturally followed on Friday.
Western receipts average less than p
10000 bushels per week for four months
have suddenly risen to more than $780,
600 bushels.
Exports have not been checked by
higher prices as yet, but have increased
them, amounting for the week to 1904
3SS bushels (dour included) against 1885,
1877 bushels from Atlantic ports last year
and 559, S4S bushels against 999,50S from
exports. The aggregate exports since
July lst have been 100000 bushels lar
ger than ever before to date, although
wheat exports have also been larger than
last year, far greater than in ordinary
years, and nearly the largest on record.
Industries have received wonderful
stimulus, from the conviction that hostil-
tiles will not last long, and from heavy
government orders. Besides great de-
mand for steel plates, and other iron pro-
ducts and ammunition, government has
ordered 100000 yards wooden clothes,
125, 900 blankets, 100000 yards cotton
goods and great quantities of provisions
and other supplies and mean while reviv-
ing confidence has multiplied other de-
mands.
Textile establishments have been re-
ceiving larger orders within the past few
days, outside those from the government
so that the stoppage or reduction Of time
in four wooden mills early in the week
has been premature. Prints cloths have
again made new low record, l 3-4c., but
better market is seen for other cotton
products.
Failures for the week have been 23S in
the United States against 22l last year,
and 25 in Canada against Sc last year.

REPUBLICAN ADDRESS.

Following is the address issued by the
committee:
Alexandria, Va, April %, 1898.
TO the Republican Voters of Virginia;
Tie Republican State Executive Com
mittee of the Republican party of Virginia
at a meeting held in Alexandria this day
adopted resolutions looking 10 the neces-
sary action under the party plan of organi-
cation for the holding OF Congressional
conventions the nomination of Republican
candidates for Congress and the election OF
members of the Republican State Commit
lee.
The committee congratulates the Repub-
lican voters of the State of Virginia upon
the fact that the State Republican con-
vention held at Staunton, Va, on April
%, 1896, adopted plan of organization
under which all power within the Repub-
lican party now ascends from the people to
the heads of the party organization instead
of going from those clothed in authority
by the people down to the body of Repub-
ican voters of the State.

PLEA FOR UNITY.

During the year 1897 there was some dl-
vision of opinion as to the wisdom and pro-
priety Of nominating gubernatorial ticket.
A respectable minority of the Republican
party voted for ticket, nominated will
out the approval of the Republican organ
ization. At that time theState committee,
in an address publicly proclaimed that as
there was no regular Republican ticket in
the field, any member of the party either
voting for such ticket or declining SO to do,
would not thereby forfeit his status or
claims as Republican, and it is hoped
that ali Republicans will now earnestly
unite and tremendously labor in the field
to which they are called by this address.
Very respectfully,
PARK AGNEw, Chairman,
J. A. WALKER,
JAS. D. BRADY,

THE Democrats of the Fourth Virginia
district have again nominated the Hon.
Sydney P. Epes as their candidate for Con-
gress. He is very confident of being elect
ed in November. His confidence, no
doubt, is based upon his knowledge Of
how the election machinery is worked in
that district. They know how to man!pu-
late the ballots and returns down there,
and do not hesitate to do it.
