SENATOR DANIEL ANDIMPERIAL-
ISM

Those who were so fortunate as to
hear Major John W. Daniels address last
night must have received new idea Of
that vigorous race which furnished both
the audience and the speaker. For Major
Daniels address made clear one salient
point that will solve many difficulties
and solace many feeble hearts In the mat
ter OF Imperialism. namely. that the power
Of the English-speaking people to hold
has heretofore been only limited by its
power or desire to acquire.
THAT people," said Major Daniel,
need no standing army. for they are
self-reliant and ever ready TO carry
arms themselves" The past, as NE SO for
chilly pointed out. IS one long record Of
the expansion due to sheer, inherent love
Of expanding. and not as a necessary re-
suit of overflow When England peopled
America there were only five million peo-
pie living in that little isle. Yet from
that small and narrow beginning has
come the continent that dominates this
hemisphere. and with England will DOM
mate the East.
Nor does the English-speaking race
lay heavy burdens on its "benevolcntly
assimilated' members. rather it gives
them if they are able, as our own coun-
try abundantly shows, every chance and
Indictment to become a part of the race
which conquered them.
Nor" said the Senator "does the Eng
disappearing race ever let go of what it
once has taken" and no one who heard
his mastery exposition OF the history of
that race can doubt the truth Of that as
sertion. We wish that every Yirginian
and every American could hear that adj
dress. IL would not solve the question of
Imperialism a priori, and as the Senator
said. he himself could not foretell what
its final result would be. But this at
least it would do it would carry the mes
sage of optimism and hope % each and
every one, OF whatsoever party, that
this race will go safely and bravely 10
meet the future and its difficulties I'm the
strength of the same Unborn principles
that made the past q monument to its
national vitality and power; that the
question of expansion is not one Of party
foresight or intention, but one OF racial
tendencies shat may be, perhaps, con-
trolled. but must ever be taken into con-
sheraton as basic facts when dealing
with the Anglo-Saxon race.
I'm view Of this both parties next year
will have to address themselves rather TO
the practical question Of administration
than the question Of expansion or no eX-
pansion which in the presence OF these
tendencies and the circumstances that
brought them into active play, has become
a condition and not a theory.

PErERsBURG's LOSS.

within a comparatively short time tho
city of Petersburg has lost three of its
most prominent physicians. About q year
ago pr. Ii. G.. Leigh passed away and
his death was soon followed by that Of
Dr. S. W. Budd. Now the newspapers
report the death of Or. c. V. Robinson.
These physicians were each and all
noble men i'm the profession. They were
doctors of the old school They practiced
medicine because they loved their proc
fcssion. because they loved to do good.
They were good doctors and good ciu-
zons. the first and foremost in good works.
The suffering that they allcviated, the
good that they did TO humanity cannot
be computed
Era the death Of these three physicians
Petersburg's loss is almost irroparable.

than the mgh-minded, conscientious ply

A Newark "astrologer' tells the New
York Journal that he predicted the death
of Vice-President Hobart and he now
predicts that President Mckinley will die
on November /, 1900.
The Times believes in free speech. but
an such prophets Of evil should be sup
pressed. This fellows so-called prophecy
concerning the President Of the United
States IS brutal and arouses our indig
nation. We have no idea that Mr. Nc
Kinley IS inclined to be supcrstiuous, and
of course ne will laugh at the silly pro-
phecy. so-callcd, of TINS New Jersey "as-

bart IL cannot but have a depressing ef-
feet. possibly upon the President himself.
certainly upon his devoted wife and
others to whom he is near and dear.
If this fellow had any good purpose to
serve he might be excused, but We all
know that the one and only thing that
he is after is notoricty. The New York
Jourua, whose great aim In life is to
make q sensation always opens its col
umns to any and every fellow who may
spring a sensation on the public. The
Journal makes reply to tho "astrologer'
ana ridicules him, but the Journal and
It's correspondent are on par. each seek

repreheuslble as the "astrologer' for
giving currency TO this brutal prediction.
