What is the matter With Brother
Leslie, of the Clinch Valley News'
That paper is now advocating fair
elections and honest election laws
for Virginia. Has it grown tired of
its old sinful democratic ways?-
Sonth Western Sentinel.
A startling accusation is made
against Democratic paper by the
Wytheville Sentinel 1t claims that
the Clinch Valley News has SO far
forgotten its Democracy of the Vir-

the only ballot box thieves and cor

the Republicans buy it. We arise
to a privileged question. Which
is the worst, to buy votes or to steel
them! Is a greater crime against
humanity to steal its possessions
than to deprive them of theiI legal

The objection to the Walton law,
under present conditions, is that it
gives the Republicans little or no
opportunity to steal votes. They
claim that the Democrats have a
monopoly of the business, and they
don't like it. The worst aspect of
the case is that our censors do not

A bOyish heart with all its hopes and dreams !:
This careless heart. these boyish dreams were

Until thou earnest with thy angle-face-
But since that hour a sorrow strangely sweet
Within my heart hate found a dwelling place.
When iirst my life thy gracious presence

Without thy love, alas. my life would be
So dark and ch -crless in tne years To come;
Yet L shohld pray that Goa would bless thee,

And send no sorrow TO thy heart and home,
I'd ne'er forget thee; for the winds and waves,
The birds and flowers, and all things sweet

Would bring me visions OF thy witching smile,
Thy tender eyes and cleaning golden hair.

Thou fairest flower beside my lonely way,
Most radiant star that lights my sky of life:

Can This be True2
The Washington correspondent

The Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia Times says:
The administration has given up
all hope Ct ending the struggle in
the Philippines at present. The
plans for the annihi!ation of the
rebellion have failed, aud now there
is nothing to be doue but wait until
fall and inaugurate fresh campaign
against the insurgents.
1T is SAID here that the Preside 1T
has made up his mind that atleast
10000 more men are needed in order
to hold whet we have gained"
After naming the troops aud reg
iments likely to be ordered to the
Philippines and their present loca-
ton, the Times says, ''the well known
military man." declares:
1.-The situation in the philippines
is absolutely revolving to those who
understand it; and those who know
all of the facts consider it a disgrace
to our nation. The plain fact of the
matter is, horrible as it may be to
contemplate, that the lives of our
soldiers will be sacrificed, and our
hold upon the Philippines will be
threatened, Ill order that this war
may be continued for another year.

That the trial OF Amos ID. Palmer will
continue several days longer was evil
denced by Judge Wnbur's statement to-
day TO the attorneys who were inter-
ested in the calling OF the daily calen-
dar that there would be little chance
for the trial of cases assigned for next
week, owing 10 the engagements OF
Justices Douglas and Dubois out Of
town. Judge Wilbur also intimated that
there would be but little chance of his
hearing any cases next week other than
the one he is now engaged in.
Work on the trial was begun prompt
ly this morning. and there was no dis
position on the part OF any one TO Sc
cure delay. Public interest i'm the case
