AS wide apart as the two poles
are the views of the advocates and
the antagonists of the proposed
annexation and expansion policy.
In the Democratic ranks Colonel
w. ]. Bryan and the leading Demo-
cratic organ--the New York Jour
nal-are working at cross purposes.
The majority of the Republicans
are simply drifting" as Senator
Hanna expresses it, but the minor
ity, which opposes expansion, is
very noisy. It is announced that
four Republican senators will even
vote against ratifying the peace
treaty, in spite of the administra-
tion influence.
In order to show somewhat the
ideas of the two wings of the De
mocracy, we reprint below extracts
from a recent address by Col. w. J.
Bryan and a recent article from the
New Yark Journal. The Journal
goes so far as to intimate that the
anti-annexationists who have been
talking so loud are guilty Of
treason. This is what it says:
II bloodshed shall come Of all this
and the rule Of Am,Fican civilization in
the Philippines shall begin with q need
leos sacrifice Of American and native
lives. it will, be these unpstriotic mis-
chisf-makers on whom the blame will
rest. And If they continue their pernic
ious propaganda it will be something
more than mere moral odium that thsl
will bring upOA themselves.

worst to turn Aguinaldo and his follow
D ers from friends Of the United Ssate

JUDGMENT FOR DAMAGES.
An Interesting ScboOi-Dook Case in
Rockingham.

HARRISONBURG, VA. october a.
Especially was rendered to-day
in the Circuit Court Of Rockingham for
81 600 damages against the Southern Rail-
way Company in favor Of Clarence II.
Mausey. The plaintiff was an employee
Of the railroad company in August 1875.
and was helping 10 load car-wheels in the
freight yards here. one Of the wheels
slipped off the skid and mashed Mausey's
foot. necessitating partial amputation.
The declaration alleged that the appliance
used I'm loading was inadequate, and not
the best generally used for such work.
Judge Letcher this morning dismissed
a petition for mondamus applied for by
CHM & CO., publishers of Frye's Geo
graphy. against George II. Hulyey. Super
intend-nt Of Public Instruction for Rock
ingham county, whereby it was sought to
substitute Frye's for Maury's Biographies
in the public schools Of the county. In
September of last year the County School
Board adopted Frye's Biographies as the
textbook for the ensuing four years, but
at a subsequent meeting reconsidered that
action ana readopted Maury's.
Judge Letcher held that the first action
of the board had been irregular but that
in any event. the board had authority 10
reconsider its action at any time in ad-
vance OF the date when books were to
go into use. as was the case in Rocking
ham. but IL would be powerless to change
the adoption at "A meeting held after the
books had gone into actual use. Maury' 5
biographies had already been in use one
term since the last adoption. and the
effect OF this decision is TO leave their
use undisturbed.
