Hon. John W. RELY, Judge of the
Supreme Court of Appeals, died Mon
day night at Houston, Halifax coun-

OF MADISON.

Congressman James Hay, of this
the 7th-Virginia District, who is a
recognized authority in Washington
in Military affairs, has issued a cir
culsr through the democratic con-
gressional campaign committee, set
ting forth the odious effects to be
reaped from the new army bill as pro-
posed by the republicans in last Con-
gress aud to be brought up again
next winter. The present military
establishment will cease July 1st,
1901.
Mr.. Hay recommends for future
emergencies the equipplng, educating
and organizing a citizen soldiery,
such as National guards, and says it
is the only way to avoid the mainte-
nance of permanent large standing
army. He further says:
1.-The republican party advocates a
large and permanent standing army
and will insist upon large increase
should it continue In power. Apart
from the immense cost which such q
military establishment would entail
permanently upon the Government,
the effect of its maintenance would
be to discourage the formation of Ma
tionsl Guard organizations and to sap
the military spirit of our people.
This large standing army is necesss-
rily part Of the imperial and mill
tary system which the present Ad-
ministrstion Is seeking to force upon
the country. 1t is an open secret that
the people who are advocating this
system desire to use these troops at
home as we'll as abroad for the sup
preston of the liberties of the people.
The policy of the democratic party is
to oppose militarism, and it de-
nounces IN its national platform the
maintenance Of large standing army.
"In order to maintain this large
standing army proposed by the re-
publican party it will be necessary to
conscript the citizens of the country,
because throughout its entire history
the regular army of the United States,
small as it has heretofore been, has
never been kept up to its full capaci-
ty by volunteer enlistments, and this
large standing army, once provided
for and relied upon, must be kept
full. Not being able to recruit the
army by volunteer enlistments, an
act of CONSUMPTION will be necessary
and the people of this country will
soon be subject to all the military re-
quirements and exactions which have
made European powers so odious to
freemen."

The New York Evening Post, one
of the most pronounced anti Bryan,
Wall street organs in the country.
throws up the sponge and absndons
the CHATTER about prosperity as an ar
gument for republican success this
fall. "The truth must be acknow-
lodged" it says, "that business is not
good, and that the boasted prosperity
which was to carry the republicans 30
an easy victory this year has disap-
peared. 1t may rA appear in the early
sutumn-we are inclined to think
that 1t will-but for the time being
stagnstion exists. Manufacturers are
running on half time, or closing tenn
porarily, in order to work off surplus
products, aud perhaps to stave off dis
putes about wages. Some part of
this stagnation is due to the political
campaign itself. A Presidential year
is always relatively dull year. Yet
this summer is duller than the CORE
spending period of 1896, although
the danger arising from currency
madness was greater then than it is
now. Probably the inevitable reac-
ton from the tremendous specula-
tions of the early part of 1899 has
come somewhat sooner than it was
expected; but, fortunately, it was not
ushered in money panic. If this is
the true explanation the reaction
must work its own cure. Nobody can
do anything about it. Things must
take their own course"
