We have great respect for several
members of the State Democratic COM
mittee, personally; but It lies under the
reproach and suspicion, as a body, of
having either actively, or passively. oil
lowed the AIartlnIsm of 1898 to obtain
practical control of the Democratic or
ganizattcn In Virginia. Even in 1873,
when there wns not the slightest occa-
sion to seek the aid and cooperation OF
the Corporations, the present State
Committee, substantially, sought and
accepted funds from the railroad COM
panies Of the State to nominate and
elect the legislature, and if there was
net then an understanding between
''the high contracting parties" there
were circumstances that had q most
damaging squint that way; and GER
tainly the corporations that contrI-
buted so generously ard supereroga-
lively to the legislative campaign
fund. We're prompt to demand their
quid pro quo in the defeat of Gen
Fitzhugh Lee. the Virginia peoples

A little Maplewood girl was asked if
she could tell what the lesson was
about in Sabbath school one Sunday,
and she replied: ooh, yes; there
was a man who was blind, and there
was another Man said He could cure
him. So he spit on the ground, rub
bed sand in his eyes, and told him to
go wash in the cesspool."
Little Clara, aged four, was in the
habit of asking God in her prayers to
bless her father, mother, and Miss
Brown, her governess. One evening,
not feeling kindly disposed toward
the latter, she concluded her prayer
as follows: "Dod bless my papa and
my mamma, but 'ou needn't boxer

Lord Braxfeld was a man of few
words, and when he courted his
second wife he said to her: "Lizzie,
Pm looking out for a wife, and l
thought you just the person to suit
me. Let me have your answer to-
morrow"
The lady, the next day, replied in
the affirmative. Shortly after the
marriage Lord Braxfield's butler
came to him, saying that he wished to
give up his situation, as he could not
stand her ladyship's continual scold
ing.
"Man," Braxfield exclaimed, "ye've
little to complain of; We may be
thankful ye're no married to her!"

That the war with Spain was a good
ed by most Intelligent men, but Mr..
D. n. Demetriades, an educated Greek
who has been connected with our Con-
sular service at Constantinople for
more than twenty five years, and who
is now in Washington, says it was also
the best thing for Europe that has oc-
Cured in long time. In explaining,
he said: "The effects of that war are
more far reaching probably than the
average American dreams of. 1t
brought good to Europe in this way:
1t proved beyond doubt the potency
of the great American republic, and
it showed to the nations that America
had at last taken up position as
great world power. Its force hither-
to has been latent. Now along with

as she did in your war with Spain it
was clear that a bond had been estab-

of your triumph over Spain; the

almost absolute safety, and the An

was another result, means that fair
play shall exist between all nations,
and that English and American ideas
of civilization and liberty shall be the

great deal of experience with medicines. Las
my little daughtes had the dysentery in its
worst form. We thought she would die. tried
everything 1 could think of, but nothing see med to

aper that Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and

of the very best medicines we ever had in the

RELIGIOUS.

We make evil profitable by deliber-
ately rejecting it.
Nothing else is so awful as the 81
lence of God.
The piety that Christ wants will
stand pinch and face storm.
Moral evil never dares be itself. 1t
always seeks to take on the garb of
| virtue.
The will is the man, and our mora
character is the sum of our moral
choices.
1t is only by trying to better our best
that we can bring up our average.
The best way to increase our belief
in the promises of God is to put them
to the test; to test them constantly.
You can, of course, do as you please
but you will have to settle the matter
with your God some day.
The true test of Christlikeness is
loving the unloving and the unloving-
ly. That is the test we ought to judge
ourselves by.
That we may know the truth, and
SO be made free from ignorance and
peril, is part of the mission of pain.
Pain is friend rather than foe. It
stands between extremes of life and
death, calling us ever toward life.
To lose sight of the ideal is to lower
the real, and "good enough" is more
than step on the road to stoo bad"
Wickedness is naturally timid. 1t
skulks and hides itself, loving dark
ness rather than light.
If you have not lately made any
mistakes, it may be we'll to inquire
whether you have made anything else
worth mentioning.
Not those who have escaped the
fiery trial, but those who have gone
through it and come out unhurt and
glorified are to be envied.
We ask God to lift away our burden.
To do this, however, would be to rob
us of blessings which can come to us
only through the bearing of the bur-
den.

OUR FARMERS.

The craze to go west has measure
| ably died out during the past 10 or Is
years, and we do not hear so niue b
about leaving the east for the west as
we did previous to that time. In order
to understand the situation fully it is
| only necessary to take trip through
the western states when you will find
that all the most desirable pieces of
farm lands have been taken up, and
there is just as much poverty and dis
tress there, and just as much hunting
for work as you will find in the east.
The following from the Rural New
Yorker is apropos on this matter: ga
reader in Brooklyn, N Y, has some
city property which he can exchange
for 100 acre farm in Saratoga county,
NY, or 3OO-acre farm in Minnesota.
He wants to leave the city and try to
make living on the farm. Shall he
go west, or try New York state?
Twenty years ago, most people would
have said: "By all means go west!"
At that time, there was a craze to get
away from so-called 'swOrn out"
eastern farms, and reach the new
lands of the Mississippi valley. Now
there is a different feeling, and farmers
understand that an eastern farm often
has advantages of location which more
than make up for the available fertility
of the western farm Lime, cow peas
and clover will work wonders with
most eastern soils and fit them, at
moderate cost, to produce fair crops,
and at the same time slowly improve.
The chances are that a city man who
desires to go "back to land" will do
better in the eastern states. He will
find it no vacation, however, to pro-
vide his bread and butter on farm
and he ought to have capital enough
to carry him until he learns the bust
ness.

Vermont used to be prominent
among the sheep raising and breeding
states Of the union, and notwithstand-
ing the days have gone by when a
fortune might be made on single
sheep, we believe that the business is
still profitable, and that it would pay
more farmers to keep sheep if they
only turn their ate ntion to that 1egiti-
mate branch of husbandry. A. Q. How
land, in the Sheep Breeder, says with
much truth that ~ believe that a far
mer should have nearly everything
on his farm, and if one thing is not in
good demand, another will be. Then
| what kind of stock shall we keep in
order to make it profitable for the labor
and capital invested in said stock?
All sheep men will say that sheep are
the best to raise. The sheep will not
only return to the owner fair profit
for his capital and labor, but will at
the same time enrich the farm on
which they run and make that farm
more valuable for the raising Of any
kind of crops. [ do not wish to be un
fair to the other stock; | do not wish
to say, as great many men who raise
a particular kind of stock says, that
the kind of stock they raise is the only
one to raise. [ know that sheep have
their drawbacks as we'll as any other
kind of stock. For 40 years [ have
been handling stock, and for these 40
consecutive years I have had nothing
but good luck with sheep"
In speaking of keeping sheep and
cattle together in tho same pasture,
Professor Roberts wisely decries the
too common practice of seeking to get |
double from the land by this and simI-
lar methods. Sheep are valuable as |
scavengers and will eat down closely |
many weeds, coarse grasses and bushes |
of various kinds that cattle will not |
touch. In this way they are valuable. |
But when pasture is stocked to it's
fullest capacity with COWS, it is folly
to expect it to carry any great num-
Der of sheep besides and have all the
stock do their best. This sort of work
is in line with the practices of many
old time orchardists, who expected
their orchards to produce, at least
approximately, full farm crops besides
giving full quota of fruit. There is
a great deal of profitable double crop
ping in these latter days, but there is
such thing as OVERRIDING the matter
in some direction.
