EVERYBODY TAKE A HAND.

Norfolk was never in such an upward
course. Signs OF prosperity show
everywhere. New houses and new
stores, new warehouses and new and
better transportation facilities. Every
body seems TO feel the stir that is up
on us and everybody is taking a hand.
Thousands of dollars OF outside money
have come amongst us. and thousands
OF dollars of home money have come
out from their hiding places. and the
result is plain to be seen on every side.
Let us take the tide at it's food. If
indeed tho food has been reached at all
and make of Norfolk. what she is des-
tined to be--thc greatest city south of
New York.
1t only needs confidence and energy
and enterprise. Mark the men who
have had the confidence to start enter
pl'ises and other developments here and
YOU will find those most prosperous. If
we take q hand ourselves others will
not be slow to follow. Simply look
around for n moment and be dumb
founded ut the tremendous leap for
ward as well as the activity and energy
displayed.

readers of the Nirginian- Pilot will

The Washington Post says that 1t is
an historical fact that the FIlipinos
never possessed liberty. and therefore
have not been deprived OF it By this
Mckinley administration. Admit that.
1t Is also an historical fact that the
American colonies had always been
subjects of Great Britain until the Rev
olutlon Of 1IIo-6-having neither liberty
nor independence, as the Declare ton of
July eth, 17I6. sets forth. Yet our faith
ers claimed both as theirs by the laws
OF nature and OF natures God. That
was their claim-our claiin-and II was
made good by long and strenuous bat
tie' which added nothing to the justice
OF our claim. as our war against the

WHY lsITa

The magnanIinity OF the Navy De-
partmcnt in giving Admiral Schley
such an important post is unparalleled
III It's history, even the management of
Secretary Alger. OF the War Depart
ment.
At present, Admiral Schlcy has three
large gunboats to command. Really,
this is too generous! 1t is somewhat
understood that naval officers are seek
ing SOFT berths and little or nothing to
do but to give Schley this magnificent
ilect must cause within his manly and
patriotic breast Il feeling of gratitude
painful to carry.
They tell us that there are no politics
i'll the navy. 1t is rumorcd that spite
and envy find no hold. under the golden
uniform. and we believe it, most sim
ccrciy believe it. and that is why we
are searching around to find out why
Schley was given this splendid com
mand.
