OIL istic to every sentiment and expression
of Jefferson and Washington. Continuing
he said:
Roosevelt is for perpetual warfare; he
would have an engagement every morning
before breakfast; he would ride rough
over the peace of the country 1t is a ques-
ton whether those who accept his views
have empires in their brains or wheels in

Review of Institutions Work.

Review of Institutions work.
E. B. Barringer, chairman of the faculty
of the University of Virginia, reviewed the
work of the institution, declaring the past
year to have been the greatest in the an
rals of the college since '5S and SO. Offset
ting the s1S5.000 loss by fire, the university
has gained buildings valued at $4S7, 600. The
university has been placed upon such a
sound footing, he said, that it has decided
to grant free scholarships to alumni asso-
cations of twenty members and over. The
Washington association is entitled to two
Representative Underwood of Alabama
was asked to speak upon the question, "Is
there or is there not an irreconcilable con-
tiict between the doctrines of Jefferson in
regard to the consent of the governed and
the modern theory of benevolent assimula-
ton? Mr.. Underwood declared that of
the twenty-five members of the House of
Representatives who claimed the Univer-
sity of Virginia as their alma mater, all
voted as a unit against the policy of eX-
pansfon. Their action was due to the
training received under the hallowed in
huenCe of Jefferson, he said.
How Texas Entered the Union.
Justice Shepard was asked to reply to
this question: THE deterioration of every
government begins almost always by the
decay of the principles upon which it was
founded. Is the florid blush which we now
see upon the cheek of our Goddess of
Liberty the indication of a healthful vigor
or the signal of premature decay Justice
Shepard spoke briefly, stating that he had
been told he should be an eXpansonist, for
his state, Texas, had come into the Union
under this policy. This he denied, saying
that Texas fought for her liberty and came
into the United States as contiguous ter
ritory. her people uniting with Americans

London. Dec. 19.-"Little Bobs," as
Lord Roberts of kandahar is familiar
ly known, is name to conjure within
Great Britain, and that Lord Roberts
ana Lord Kitchener are considered the
right men to retrieve the disastrous
situation in South Africa is amply EVIL
denced by the more CHEEKY tone of ail
the war discussion. In spite of the at
tempts of the authorities to gloss over
the suppression OF Gen. Butler, the
fact remains that the new appoint
ments can not be regarded otherwise
than as a penalty for his failure. A
semi-oificial communication says:
THE disposition to regard tie
change as reflection on Gen. Butler
engaged in South Africa increase, Off
GERS of higher rank are, naturally, APP
pointed to the supreme command"
The communication then instances
the successive steps from Gen. SymoJls
to Generals White and Butler, and now
to Gen. Roberts. In spite of the plausi-
bility of the argument. everyone rec
ognlZes That II Is not the Nhole truth.
The friends OF Gen. Butler see in the
he&dlong plunge of the cabinet a sus-
picious panic, and they picture hasty
coHelayes and the ministers, with
blanched faces, telegraphing to Rob
erts and Kitchener to come and save
the empire. While, perhaps, these are
overdrawn, there is no denying that
the prodigious exertion which the gov
eminent considers necessary to crush
the two little republics shows that
even sedate Lord Salisbury sees the ex-
IRENE gravity of the present aspect OF
affairs. Probably, the ministers re-

seem to have forgotten, of a possible
