War in the Transvasl now seems i'm
minent How many gallant man how
many a gay and joyous youth of Eng
land will go out from home Of hsppi-
ness, with the prayers Of mother and
sisters for his safety and his return,
but who, alas, will never return. and
whose bones will bleach in the arid
sands Of Africa. 1t is all very pretty
on paper and in picture books, the
marching of battallions and regiments
to the waving Of banners and to martial
music. But how about the desolate
homes, the widows and orphans? What
untold misery is this wsr Of con-
quest and colonization on which the
United States has entered destined to

to content ourselves with this broad
American continent which we lawfully
possess. than to start out on an angry

According to the familiar adage,
"the mills Of the gods grind slowly, bat
they grind exceeding small. " This
grinding of the mills has been seen in
two sections Of the State In Norfolk
city and In the county Of Amherst. In
the one Mr. John Whitehead has been
nominated for the Legislature, and in
the other Mr.. Thomas Whitehead, Jr.,
his brother, has made a most vigorous.
though unsuccessful. race for the like
nomination. They are sons Of Dol

sioner of Agriculture Of Virginia whom
Governor Tyler, In January last, super

that these sons Of their father do not.

the Legislature, but that they desire to
be on hand when the Legislature comes
to an election between Tyler and Mar

man Thomas Whitehead by no means
exhausts his legislative timber in his

less than elk other sons who will stand

Ahe Richmond Times, one Of the
fairest and most dispassionste and i'm
partial papers published in the South,
or, for that matter, in the North. or
the East, or the West, recently pointed
out in All interesting way that it WIS
not good for any State to be dominated,
in overwhelming numbers, by any one
can. Populistic, or what not. This
postulate in politics is now being dem.
onstrated by the situation in Kentucky,
and may it not be said, by the situation
in Virginia also2 The disseEsion over
the Goebel nomination for Governor
bids fair to rend in twain the Demo-
cratic party, which has heretofore been
omnipresent and omnipotent in that
State, as it has for the past twenty
years been In this State. In the opin-
ion Of some sage political soothsayers,
the senatorial distraction in Virginia
presages u disruption of the hitherto
harmonious Democracy in the Old Do
minion. Let Martin take the stump,
as his friends say he will. and then let
Daniel lay aside the dignity and Deco
rum Of the gaIb he wears as senior Sen
stor and join in the noisy clang Of the
hastings; and. against them, let Jones
and Goode and Montague unite in a
choral ode Of denunciation Of Martin
and machine methods" that shall re-
vertebrate from the SUBMITS Of the Blue
Mountains to where the wide Atlantic
washes our Eastern front-let this come
to pass, as now seems likely to happen,
and we shall soon see rift in the erst-
while united Democracy which will
hardly be healed in the experience Of
the present generation The belliger-
emit and angry wings Of the party will
stand
Like cliffs that have been rent asunder !;
An angry gulf now rolls between.
And neither rain nor hail, nor thunder
Shall ever do away, ween,
The marks of that which once hath
been.
Perhaps such happening might prove
to be the very best thing that could
come to pass 1t is best for any State,
for any community. that there should
be two almost equally divided political
parties, so that the one may keep a
vigilant and sleepless watch upon the
other. Such a vigilance is the only
sure safeguard against corruption and
ring.rule. Since the civil war and the
reconstruction era more dread than the
civil war, let loose the Aood-gates Of
social horror in the South, there has
been no possible opportunity for two
equally respectable parties in the former
slave States The plea Of self-preserva-
ton has kept the whites srrayed in al
most solid phalanx against the dark
battalions marshslled on the other side
by the ll-timed teachings of fanatics
in the North, and the selfish scbemings
Of the false friends Of the black man
both in the North and in the South.
Would that this unhappy condition may
in some propitious early hour cease to
exist. Would that this angry social
question might no longer impose die
tatorial constraint upon the political
sentiment of this State, and Of every
Southern State. When will this be.
nigu era arrive? All. when?
