ICOMMUNICATED.

In reply to Indignant" We heartily
coincide with him that the proper cul
tivation of manners is woefully ne
elected in these times. But let US al
least be just. Is it altogether fair tC
charge our faithful and otherwise eff
cient school teachers with the whole
account? We are more hopeful than
this; for if given even the vestige OF
encouragement We would find that
this most desirable faculty will be
looked after in school just as much as
is any other. The charge is unfair in
that teachers of the present are not
vested with that good wholesome au.
thority as in days of yore. Let your
teacher correct child, if you please,
for bad conduct, and any parent in
Alexandria will take sides with his
child and hold an Indignation meeting
in the house, denouncing the poor
teacher and closing every avenue Of
sympathy toward her. Now children
are more logical than we have any
idea of, and they naturally conclude
that the teacher has nothing to dc
with their conduct, and by his actions
in the future will tell him so. Let the
average parent start right in training
the early behavior of the child, and no
teacher will check this splendid at.
tsinment. Children who are not
blessed with good home influence will
emulate those who have. Encourage
your teachers. hold them up to your
children, dignity their Office, and we
will bring back the good times of old,
when manner culture was thought to
be quite as necessary as arithmetic.
We honestly believe that children
learn more badness and are worse
behaved at home and on the streets
than in the school room. YOX.

BURNED AT THE STAKE.

Sam Hose was burned by mob at q
stake, two miles from Newman, Ga, yes
terday for the murder OF his former en-

Tried by a Mob and Hanged.

Palmetto, Ga, April 24.-Lige
Strickland, the negro preacher, who
was accused by Sam Hose of paying
him to kill Farmer Crawford, was tried
by mob this morning and found gull

ears and fingers were cut OF and on the
body was pinned a placard with the
following words: 1--WE must protect
our southern women"
Strickland had been in the hands Of
mob OF Campbell county people since

of Hose caused great excitement and q
crowd of men left for the home of Ma

BARBARoUsLY savage as was the
lynching in Georgia yesterday, it can
hardly be wonderful to those familiar
with the horrible circumstances of the
case, and who know that but for such
examples, the crime that inspired it
would increase and multiply. The de-
liberate aud unprovoked murder OF a
man and the brutal outrage of his wife
by a negro 6end, to whom they had
given employment, were we'll calcu
lated to excite men who had mothers,
wives and daughters to resort to any
means, no matter how severe, by
which their women might be protected
from such diabolical treatment.

CONSIDERATION POSTPONED. - The
conservation OF Rev. J. B. Funston, Of
Portsmouth, as Bishop of Boise, Idaho,
to which office he was elected by the
House of Bishops of the Protestant
Episcopal Church some time since, has
been postponed indefinitely. The SER
vices were to have been held April 81.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Funston re-
ceived a telegram from Presiding Bish-
op Clarke, of Rhode leland, informing
him of the postponement upon technl-
cal grounds. The main hitch lies in
the fact that Mr.. Funston at first de-
clined the position, but later reconsider.
ed his action. The question has been
raised as to whether the Bishop has the
power to consecrate him under the
circumstances. Mr.. Funston heartily
approves the action OF the presiding
bishop in postponing the conservation
until the matter is definitely settled.

IT Is well for the expansionists that
dispatches from Manila are censored, as
the more news that reaches here from
there, the worse FOR them, and, worse
still, worse for the men they have sent
there and keep there to slaughter and
deprive of their liberty their recent allies
in the Spanish so-cslled war. The loss
of American life in the war against
Spain has already been greatly exceeded
by that in the war against the Philip
pine Republic, and great as was the
expense of the former, it is feared
it too will be exceeded by that of the
latter.

FIGHT WITH THE FILIPINOS.

In an engagement with the F'ilipinos
yesterday near Quingua, about four
miles northeast of Malolos, seven Amer
leans, including Colonel John NJ. Stot-
senburg, of the First Nebraska regi-
ment, were killed aud forty-nine wound
ed. Most of the wounded belong to the
First Nebraska regiment. The Filipi-
nos retreated, with small loss.
The insurgents had a horseshoe
trench, about mile long, encircling a
rice field, on the edge of q wood.
Major Bell. with forty cavalrymen en-
countered a strong outpost. One OF his
men were killed and five We're wound-
ed by voley.
The Americans retired, carrying their
wounded, under ire, and with great
difficulty, being closely pursued, fog
enabling the enemy to creep up to
them. Two men who were carrying a
comrade were shot in the arms, but
they continued with their burden.
Major Bell sent for renforcements to
rescue the body OF the dead cavalryman,
and battalion Of the Nebraska regl-
ment, under Major milford, arrived
and advanced until checked by volleys
from the enemy's trenches.
The Americans lay about eight hum
dred yards from the trenches. behind
rice burrows, under fire, for two hours
Several men were sunstruck, one dy-
ing from the effects OF the heat, as they
lay there waiting for the artillery to
come up.
Finally the Second battalion arrived,
and then Colonel Stotsenburg, who
spent the night with his family at Ma
Mia, came upon the field. The men
Immediately recognized him and rails
ed cheer.
Colonel Stotsenburg, deciding to
charge IS the easiest way out of the
difficulty, led the attack at the head OF
the regiment. He fell with bullet in
the breast, dying instantly, about two
yards from the breastworks.
Lieutenant Sisson fell with bullet
10 his heart, the bullet striking him
near the picture of girl suspended by
q ribbon from bis neck.
In the meantime the artillery mad ar
rived and shelled the trenches.
The Filipinos stood until The Nebras-
ka troops were right on the trenches,
and then they bolted to the second line
of intrenchments mile back.
The Nebraska regiment lost two pri-
Yates killed, and had many wounded,
including two lieutenants. The Iowa
regiment had several wounded. The
Utah regiment had one officer and
three men wounded.
Thirteen dead Filipinos were found
in the trench. Their loss was compar-
atively small on account of their safe
shelter.
The Americans carried the second
trench, with small loss, and were hold
ing the town last plight.
Col. Stotsenburg had won reputa-
ton as one of the bravest fighters in the
army. He always led his regiment,
and had achieved remarkable popular
ity with his men since the war began,
although, during his first colonelcy, the
volunteers, who were not used to the
rigid discipline of the regular troops,
though him a hard officer.
The loss of the Nebraska regiment in
the campaign is the greatest sustained
by any regiment, and yesterdays dis
aster has greatly saddened officers and
men, who promise to take fierce venge.
ance in the next fight.

AMERICAN naval and army officers are
appointed to command o. S. sailors and
soldiers, not to make public speeches,
especially on international affairs,
and when they do the latter, they al
most invariably make a mistake and
say something they ought not to say,
and thereby involve themselves, and
their government also, in trouble.

MONDAY EVENING. APRIL 24, 1899

THE ADVOCATES OF the conference to
be held at Richmond for the ostensible
purpose of bringing about change in
the mode of electpg U. s. Senators are
q good deal annoyed at the suggestion
that the true object is really to turn
Mr.. Martin out of his seat and elect
somebody else in his place. They pro-
test vehemently that all they are aim
ing at is constitutional change which
is to purify American politics aud
bring back the golden age. These Wig
o-ous denials, however, are not credit
ed by the people, uine'tenths OF
whom. with an intuitive instinct, di-
vined al once that the real object was
20 strike at Mr.. Martin. Now, if there
is one thing in Virginia that the people
like, it is candor and directness in po-
litical action. They would be much
more favorable to this proposed confer
ence if its authors would only frankly
disclose their purpose, state that they
are opposed to Mr.. Msrtin and
Give their reasons for being so.
Thei~ failure to do this is tanta'
mount to a confession that there
is no substantial public reason why Mr..
Martin should not be reelected. If
ne had fallen short of his duty, If he
had been inattentive to the wants and
wishes of his constituents, il ne had
gone back on his party creed and meas
ures, they would be very quick TO come
forward and state the grounds of their
objections. But this they do not do
and cannot do. Now, we cannot I'M
al'ine surer mode of enlisting for Mr..
MAJ Tin the sympathy of the Virginia
people. than these cunning tactics OF
reserve and indirection. The people
dislike m vstery. They do not believe in
beating man by trumping up a side
issue of minor consequence to those in
which the people are vitality interested.
Mr.. Martin has another marked adj
vantage. II has always been the Gus
tom in Virginia to re-elect congress
men of both bodies who were faithful
80 their duties. This was notably the
case prior to the war between the
States, and secured for Virginia great
iufl ueuce in the public councils. Much
of this sentiment still fingers among US
we say sentiment, but it is founded on
common sense. The idea is that ex-
perience in public trust aids man to
discharge it. Thus it happens in Viz
GINA that efforts to displace good rer-
reseutative are not often successful.
There may be bright and worthy men
in their Districts anxious for public
honors and perhaps equally worthy,
but the people prefer the tried and ex
perienced public servant to the sspirant
who thinks that be could work won
ders if he only had chance. Some ct
