wards militarism, one of the aliases of
Imperialism, and towards that sort of
expansion involving the surrender of
the Monroe Doctrine.
Notwithstanding the failure of the
Senate, at the last session, to act upon
the batch of Naval nominations which
would have put Rear Admiral sampson
ahead Of Rear Admiral Schley, and Of
the public calling down at Minneapolis
of Secretary Long, when he attempted
to glorify Sampson for what Schley
did, it is announced upon seemingly
good authority that the attempt to
jump Sampson over Schley's head is
to be again made 10y Mr.. Mckinley as
soon rs Congress meets. The unjust
attitude Of the administration towards
Admiral Schley has so far only added
to that gallant officers reputation, and
if it is persisted in, many believe that
it will result in giving Schley the
second place on next years Democratic
national ticket Stranger things than
that have happened. 1t may be said
that Schley Is not a Democrat, but
that is no reason against it. Gen.
Grant was not a Republican and he
was nominated and elected President
by that party The Army and Navy
officer who has enough political bias in
his make up to become a member Of
political party, is an exception. As
rule, officers in neither branch Of the
service vote, even when they remain
in one place long enough TO acquire
the right to do So
Ex-Governor Thompson, Of ;. G.,
who has just returned from Europe,
said he was approached by a native
in a village Of Switzerland, who said
to him: Excuse me, sir, but will
you crafty my Curl sity by telling me
what il was that the Governor Of y.
G. said to the Governor Of S. &. ?"
Asked what reply he made, Coy.
Thompson said: "Why, simply re-
peated the historic remark, and gave a
practical demonstration Of wis fol-
lowed it, but it beats me now that fell
low ever heard the story of the two
governors"

FEES

Gov. Roosevelt, replying TO a speech
Of Col. Bryan, delivered i'm his recent
tour Of Ohio, and in which the govern
or had been severely arraigned for COM
plicity in the New York canal scandal,
undertook to defend himself by saying
he had employed two lawyers, Demo-
Gratis at that, to prosecute the suspects
and if possible bring them to punish
ment, and added, that for such service
he had provided a fee of $4,000 for
them. Peoples money, of course, and
most people will agree that the amount
is excessive and outrageous. And this
reminds us to ask, why is il " hen law
yers meet in reunions to discuss mea-
sures for material good and to condemn
the practices of offending brothers that
something is not sometimes said on
the subject of exorbitant fees and
charges against good conscience? We
do not recall that such has ever been
done, on the contrary rather oppressive
rates have often been adopted, and the
member of the body found under
bidding is unworthy.
We recall to mind just now a case of
this sort. A lawyer kaeiO where a GER
tain amount of money had been Sc
cured in which an unsuspiciOus farmer
had an interest. Without revealing
the facts he agreed TO collect that mon
ey for fee of $3.50, aud the sum in
volved was not $500 The money was
had for the asking, and while the la
bOrer is worthy of his hire, no brother
lawyer will contend that this laborer
was worthy of that hire. Nor is this
the only case of the kind. The bank
rupt law, preceding the present one,
was rendered Odious to the people be-
cause Of excessive fees and charges, and
so pronounced was this and general
that the successor was dreaded for
fear it would come with like stain. 1t
is subject of congratulation that it is
not so sOiled.
The only "really big" fee of recent
years against which we would not have
protested, was that paid to Mr. Choate
for less than all hours speech before the |
Supreme court, in the interest of mil
lionaires who were resisting the en-
forcement of the income tax. He |
saved millions and was entitled to his |
$50, 900, not that he was worth $4,000 |
an hour, but that the triumph of that |
hour was the result Of life of training. |
The next time our Virginia lawyers |
meet in annual reunion, let at least one
hour be given to the consideration of
excessive fees. And don't down the
discussion because two-thirds of the
brethren haven't made a living during
the past twelve months.

The Home ofthe Beers.

In view Of the war now existing be-
tween the Beers and England, some
facts about these South African coun-
tries will be of interest to our readers.
The South African republic or Trans
vaal, the country Of the Beers, has an
area of III, 700 square miles, nearly
three times the size Of the state of
Pennsylvania, and a population Of
about 100000, Of which one-third are
foreigners. The republic was formed
IN lS4S 10y Beers, descendants Of Dutch
emigrants. The republic declared its
independence in 1850, aud in 1884
Great Britain renounced all right to
the direction Of its internal affairs, but
retained the right to supervise its
treaties with other countries. The
country is rich in both mineral and
agricultural resources and has about
800 miles Of railroad The Beers are
mainly Protestant, the Dutch Reform
cuuIcn pleuOnluaung.
The Orange Free State, the other
South African republic, now at war
with England, adjoins the Transvaal
and has an area Of Al Asa square miles
and population Of about 100000. 1t
also is rich in mineral and agricultural
resources, with $50 miles Of railroad.
These countries have no seac0ast and
excepting ON the northeast, are sur
rounded by British colonies, the most
important Of which is Cape Colony, at
the southern extremity Of Africa. On
the northeast lies Gasaland, a Portuguese
colony which is virtually controlled by
Great Britain.

Now and then articles under control
Of combines are cheapened as a sort of
bait to the unsuspecting, but not al
ways as often as is contended The
Baltimore Stn reminds us as follows:
at is shown that two days before the
tinplate trust was formed 100 pounds
Of tinplate sold in Pittsburg for S2.65,
but a. soon as it was formed prices be-
gun 20 be arbitrarily advanced as high
as the tariff tax on imported tinplate
would allow, with the result that 100
pounds of tinplate now sell at S4.65."
IL is sheer nonsense TO imagine that
man with power won't exercise it. 1t
will be much safer for the people to
unite to crush combines.

The Petersburg Inder-Appeat says:
"There is no more odium in opposing
party than there is in supporting it.
The infamy lies in the act of betraying
it under cover of a profession of loyalty
and support Truth to the core. Let
at least one Of the daily papers Of the
Commonwealth, and all Virginia in
dependents read and "inwardly di-
gest." And this from the same good
source: "The persistency Of the mi
nority faction Of the Democratic party
in calling itself the majority is too alb
surd to be annoying a liar may de-
ceive himself and fool may be deceiv-
ed, but they can never succeed in de-
ceiving Others

FOOLISH EFFORT.

1.-THE man who tries to correct q
Democratic convention by electing "a
Republican governor, assumes rcspon-
sibility for all that governor does after
he has been elected" So said Mr.
Bryan to Kentucky audience in his
recent triumphal tour through that
State. What he said to the Kicking"
Democrats of Kentucky may with
great propriety be repeated to the in
dependents(?) Of Virginia. The man
who tries to correct a Democratic con-
vention by electing an independently
legislator for Virginia, assumes respon-
sibility for all that Independent Co
does after he has been elected, and just
so sure as two and two make four at
independent (?) Democrats who get
into office will just as surely get into
Republican habits.
There is no Independent party known
to the country, and when a fellow gets
into power he will not likely "fock by
himself" The last thing a disappoint-
ed or disaflected party man will do is
to cooperate with the organization
against which he "kicks.n Whether
his grievances are well founded OF not,
to him they are real. "Fear the
Greeks even though they bear gifts"
was warning Of long ago, but to fear
independents (?) regardless Of smooth
phrases and honeyed words is the
warning of most moment just now to
Virginia voters.

1t is one of the commonpaces of
scientific research to declare that the
reproduction of tne human voice over
a wire at the distance of thousand
miles is merely the prelude to a repro
duction of the face of the speaker and
of the scene at the sending end of the
wire. While waiting for this develop
ment we note for the benefit of the
historian the fact that in this city a
physician wishing to make an X-ray
investigation of a wounded patient
merely halted an electric automobile
in front of the door and examined the
wound by the aiu of the claimants bat

With one such practical experience
of what modern science really means,
what reason is there for douD..ng the
possibility Of wireless telegraphy, or
submarine sailing, or color photo

None can doubt the possibilities of
what science may do except those who
are ignorant of what science has done.
