THE INTELLIGENCER.
WHEELING, FEBRUARY 1G, 1909.


To-day will be laid to rest the mortal
remains of one whose sudden departure
from this life has caused profound re-
greet and grief TO thousands of his fell
low citizens, who held him in high cs-
TEEN for the great services he perform
ed for the state and Its people, for his
exalted character, and for the career the
history of which will be the most last
ing monument to his memory. Those
who will meet to participate in the last
rites. and pay silent tribute. will repre-
sent but small proportion of the great
number In this commonwealth, who
owe him such Il debt of gratitude, and
of those who revere his memory in other
states Of this great Union.
But nowhere will the tender tributes
be more heartfelt, the sorrow be more
sincere. the regrets more touching than
here. where will be gathered together
his friends and neighbors of almost n
life-time, where the events occurred
which won him the hearts of the people,
ana VINO. through the years That FOL
lowed never lost their regard for him,
but ever held him as worthy of all
honor. and trusted him as safe coun-
scllor-an example for all men. and par
tlcularly young men to follow. OF his
private life, as well as of his public life.
there was but one .sentimcn: among the
people. and in this hour that sentiment
will prevail among those who pay trib-
ute at the bier, rendering their honors
the more touching and significant.
When all that is mortal of Archibald
W. Campbell is laid away to-day these
memories will not be buried With him.
They will live and he will live in the
hearts of those who knew him best and
among whom he spent his splendid life.

cislve blow toward the end OF her
career as potent factor, the degener-
acy OF which has been the chief feature
of her history for centuries.
While all the Nation mourns for these
martyrs it has the satisfaction OF know
ing that the hand of Providence was
with their country In the events which
followed to the undoing OF the country
responsible for that tragedy.
In the event of yesterday the hearts
Of the American people were with their
representatives at Havana who paid the
touching tribute to the memory of these
dead sailors. We are told in the dis
patches that the graves were sadly me-
elected by the Spaniards. and are now
simply marked by an iron cross, on
which is inscribed the words. Victims
OF the Maine" II 1t is not the intention
of the government to bring the remains
of the victims to their native soil to be
placed In some national cemetery to be
cared for always under the flag for
which they died. then those graves at
Havana should be marked by monu-
ment fittingly inscribed and representa-
tive of the respect the American people
have for its dead heroes.
The people, however, would prefer
that they be brought to their own soil,
for Cuba Is not to be n possession Of the
United States. and the victims Of the
Maine deserve that their resting place
should be under monument In their
own country. The remains Of our
heroes who have fallen in battle, or as n
result of disease In Cuba. in Porto Rico
and the faraway Philippines. cannot all
be returned. For many reasons, which
cannot be detailed 1t would be impossi-
BILE. but let the monuments be built Just
the same in this country, and like those
erected TO other heroes of previous
wars. they will be the shrines where
American citizens may annually pay
tribute to the memories and the deeds
OF their dead.

The Stricken South.

The effects of the unprecedented cold
wave in the south will be of IL disas-
trous nature. for it means almost the
total destruction OF early crops of the
principal products of the southern
states. In Florida. the unprecedented
zero temperature has been reached.
which means immense losses to the
people and investors in that state in the
orange and other semi-tropIcal fruit
business. In Texas about everything
in the early agricultural lines is practi-
cally ruined, vegetables alone damaged
to the amount Of Il million. and the cat
tie in that great grazing state are in
horrible condition. and dying by the
thousands. Throughout the southern
states the story Is pretty much the
same. This condition OF affairs. while
It will affect the south materially most
directly. will necessarily also affect the
markets In the northern states in the
early part of the season. and cause high
prices in everything we have been ac-
customed TO receive from southern
states.

the coffee was served one after another
OF his colleagues arose and pronounced
a eulogy. When Mr.. Stewards turn
came he said that while Spooner was a
GOOD fellow he was all wrong on
finances, and proceeded to repeat the old
speech he had made SO many times In
the senate.
Senator Evarts who next took the
floor, said that Stewart reminded him OF
a man lie had met In an insane asylum
one time when he was acting as MEM
Der OF n board OF visitors. The superIn-
tendent told them that they must say
cheerful things to the patients, and
therefore when he saw n lunatic sitting

marked: You blank fool. anybody can

The statement of the Philippine commits
sion as TO the Va4ue of the islands will be
received with very general confluence by
the American people. They point out their
lneStlmable value to this country because
OF the immense commerce and wealth they
would produce under stable government.
and, in view of the probable complications
growing out OF tn g Efforts of other nations
to enter China, the Philippine Islands are
the most important strategic point we could
