Methodists to Raise a Vast Sum Of
MOney-Yirginia'S Part.

Virginia Methodists are about en-
tering upon an important enterprise.
which will probably result in the
raising of at least $3.50, 1000 in the State
for the strengthening of the educa-
tional institutions controlled by the
denomination.
The Virginia Conference, at it's late
session in Portsmouth, provided for
the organization of the canvass un
der Rev. A. Coke Smith, D. D., presi-
dent of the Board of Education, and
Chancellor W. ". Smith, LII. D.,
superintendent of the canvass.
This is but part of a much wider
movement which was provided for by
the action of the General Conference
of the Southern Methodist Church,
in Baltimore, last May, but even this
action had been preceded by similar
movement among Methodists in Eng
land and Canada. The origin Of the
undertaking was a proposition made
last year by member of the English
Parliament, himself an active Metho-
dist, that the Church in England,
numbering low 100000, should bring
a thank offering of one million
guineas (S5.250, 000) for the wonderful
growth of the Church in the nine-
tenth century, which should be used
as capital to begin the work of the
twentieth. The suggestion was re-
ceived with enthusiasm, and already
great part of the money has been
raised, and the managers expect a
surprise of $3.50, 0O0 Canadian Metho
dists next took up the idea and are
now busily engaged in raising 81, OOO,-
900.
In the United States, where the
century has seen the Methodists grow
from Sc, 900 to 100000, the motives
underlying the movement We're even
stronger. The Southern Church off,
cially ordered a canvass for 81, 100000
as minimum, while the Northern
Methodists, with their larger num-
bers and wealth, propose to raise
$2O,000,O0 and have set about the
work with characteristic energy.
Worldwide Methodism is thus astir
with q great purpose to prepare to
take large part in the great work
which opens to the Church with the
beginning of the twentieth century.
Bishop Galloway, who has imme-
date charge of the general work in
the Southern Church, is expected, at
an early day, in Richmond, where
there will be rally of the followers
of Wesley, and the movement will be
publicly begun in Virginia.-Cor.

Senator Daniel voted against the
treaty Of peace with Spain and gave
reasons for doing so in speech in the
United States Senate, so patriotic,
eloquent and convincing, that the
people generally,not only of Virginia,
but throughout the country will ap-
prove of his views, if the politicians in
the Senate did not heed him or take
his advice in the matter. He believed
the ratification of the treaty, un-
warranted by the laws and constitu-
ton of our country and would be
prolific in results, unwise and unjust,
and he did not, as some others stulti>
fly himself by voting against his con-
victions, but as it was expected he
would by the people of Virginia.

1t is proposed, as will be noted by a
communication in our columns of to-
day to make lone more attempt at an
organization" of the farmers Of the
Eastern Shore. The plan submitted
seems to be a practicable one and is
entitled to the consideration OF
our farmers. But, whether that plan
suits them or not, one thing is GER
tain, that an organization of some
kind must be effected by them. They
must get together" and "stick to-
gether" in some way, if they would
not have their experience, in selling
their crops last year, repeated again
this year. Organize, farmers, by all
means, in some way and put your
selves in position to sell your crops in
the future 10 the highest bidder in
stead of to the lowest bidder as you
practically did last year.

FACING A DEFICIT AGAIN.
Spanish War Burdens Which Thi,
Country Must Bear.

What it means TO be on a war foot
ing is revealed by the report of the
Secretary of the Treasury. 1t means
that we must face national deficit
again, or provide method to avert
it, says Leslie's Weekly. The esti-
mate of appropriations required for
the coming fiscal year is only $1,000
900 less than 100000, 900, as compared
with $4G2, 900, 900 during the present
year. The increase of nearly S130,-
900, 900 is due mainly to the demands
of the army and navy. The proposed
increase Of the regular army from
about 10000 in time of peace, to lO0,-
600 men means an additional expendi-
ture for our military establishment
of about $4,000, 900 per year. The
navy will require 100000 COO in addi-
ton, and the interest Oh our public
debt will absorb over $4,000, 600
more.
1t will be seen that for years to
come this country must continue TO
bear heavy additional burden be-
cause of the Spanish war. Such com
pensation, no doubt, will be received
from the possession or control of the
new colonies, and in the end it Is
hoped that the accounts will balance
in our favor. The receipts OF the
government during the past fiscal
year were not sufficient to cover its
expenditures, and, on the basis of ex-
listing revenue laws, the receipts dur
ing the ensuing year will fall $1l2,-
600, 900 short of public requirements.
1t is possible that new form OF taxa
ton will have to be devised, and it
will not be surprising if this should
result in renewed demand for the
imposition of an income tax, unior>
tunate as such a demand would be.
The decision of the United States
Supreme Court will stand as barrier
to such proposition, unless the opin-
ion should be reversed or materially
changed.

Ex Gov. Jas. P. Clarke made a strong point in his argument against the Collins bill to tax life insurance policies, when he said as a rule the people who insure tkeir lives are bread winners and the bore and sinew of Arkansas; that there is no demand for such bull or outcry for more taxation; that the money paid in for premiums is in New York or wherever the com pany is located, and Arkansas laws have nothing to do with it, and 1t would result in double taxation. Jim Clarke is perhaps nearer to the common people than any other public man in the State, having, by close study and hardlwork, made his way from an humble beginning.- Jonesboro Sun.

Opinions cannot overthrow facts.
 A bad mans hate is a good mans reputation.

 The root of all evil is the cause of much digging.
 Facts never blink under the sunlight Of evidence.
 No man ever stumbIes over an object in his rear
