That neither patriotism nor good
sense is yet extinct among Spanish
writers on public affairs is clearly
proved by the article on True Nation,
al Greatness, - which The Living Age
publishes in its number for March 4.
1t is written by E. Gomez de Baquero,
and is translated from La Espana Mo-
derna. It is a very sane and candid ar
ticle, and shows a clear perception Of
the needs Of Spain.

The Candidacy.

Mr.. Smythe's withdrawal from the
race for the Legislature takes from
the campaign what little hope, or
fear, may have been entertained, of
q contest, and leaves the field clear
for MIR. Moss. He is, generally
speaking, acceptable to both politi-
cal parties. not because of his pro
nounced or avOwed political princi-
pies, but because Of his qualifications
otherwise, to represent the county
in the legislature fairly and wisely.
The question of United States
Senator has overshadowed all the
4uestions from the very incipiency
of the campaign. But there are
pther serious questions to come be
fore the next Legislature. The
Questions of a constitutional con
ention. bill to prevent votebuying,
neans to increase the revenues of
State so as to meet the increased
crest on the State debt, which
.~~s into effect IN Inlv 1901, are
some of the questions which will
come before the next General As
sembly. So the coming session
promises to be one of Importance %
to Virginia. Besides these many
questions of local interest and needs
will be brought up. Tazewell and
many other counties need some leg
islation on the roadquestion, to which
1t is hoped MIR. Moss will give his
best attention.

The Growing Pension List.

There are still many thousands Of
unadjudicated pension claims on file
in the Pension Bareau, claims thai
are based on services of sufferinps in
the Union, cause during the war be-
tween the States, which terminated
neatly thirty yers ago. The
number of pensi 3rers is not far from
the million mark. 1t is probable
that more than enough of the pend
ing claims will be allowed to pass
that mark, necessitating an increase
in the annual appropriation for pen
sions, which rs now more than a
hundred and forty million dollars.
In view OF these facts it is sad TO
contemplate the coming of a new
crop of pensioners Commissioner
Evans states that there are already
on file In his office claims for pen
sions resulting from the Spanish
war numbering twenty thousand.
There were only about forty thous.
and soldiers engaged in that wa, so
the pensioners already amount to
half of the whole number engaged
and more are yet to come. Then
there is the Philippine war. By the
middle OF December, the American
soldiers and sailors in Luzon will
amount to seventy thousand. II half
OF these become pensioners, in ad-
dition to the twenty thousand of the
Spanish war, the pension roll will be
heightened by the addition of forty
five thousand names. We would not
be understood as opposing the pay
ment of pensions to the men who
fought and suffered in foreign war.
Their claim is, to say the least, as
good as the claim OF the Union
veterans in the war between the
States. But the magnitude of the
burden imposed upon the country
ought to check the extrsvagance of
Congress in prodigally pouring out
the peoples money and ought to in
duce the greatest care on the mart of
pension officials to exclude from the
roll all unworthy applicants. War is
at best costly business, and it APP.

cost does not close with the actual

Church Music.

Why don't the people sing in
church? AS a matter of fact thew
don't, whatever may be the cause.
IL was remarked recently, by one
who observed closely, that not more
than two per cent. of the worshippers
In any congregation in town engage
In service of song. Is it because thew
can't sing? There must be some
good reason for the falling off in
church singing. Several reasons may
be given: The church organ and
choir has had much to do with driv-
Ing the singing out of the church
The performances of the choir are
regarded, in most instances as an
entertainment, and of course the
people sit and listen rather than
sing. The choir are generally Sc
iected with view to proficiency in
music, and generally get off some
thing calculated to entertain, rather
than to edify. The choir, instead of
leading singing, as was intended
when organs and choirs were
first introduced, they now monopo-
lie and restrict the service of sonp
to very small number of the peo
pie.
Again: Books are scarce III most
OF the churches. and, one inclined TO
sing, if he happens to be familiar
with the music used, is unable to do
SO for want of a book The old Gus
tom, of lining out the hymns, should
be revived unless books are provided
Tor the congregation In these DAYS
when many people are able to read
music, books with notes should be
provided. Probably the principal
reason why more people do not sing
ls, not because they don't know how.
or are not familiar with the music.
etc., but because the idea of wor-
ship In singing is not made promi-

which is not worship at all. The
TACT seems to need emphasis, that
singing is worship-the chief part of
the devotional exercises of the
church 1t has been observed that
the religious fervor of church can
be accurately measured by the sing
ing.
While on this subject we will saw
further, there is need of first.class

have a number OF fine voices In all
the churches which only need little
