those public servants who handle state

The good work is begun, and we are
glad TO know that Mr.. Glass has re-
ccired communications from varioas
parts of the State, commencing his bill
and urging its passage. The State of
Virginia has great deal OF business TO
transact, and all its fiscal affairs should
be carried on in the most approved. bIsi-

more afford TO have sipshod ways III The

CURRENT TOPICS.

Mr.. Arthur Sewell, candidate on the
Democratic ticket for Nice-President in
1886. has recently returned from a trip
to Honolulu, and in an interview sent out
from San Francisco. said that he has
always favored the acquisition of the
Philippines Speaking OF the forth
coming Presidential campaign, he said:
..Alr Mckinley will be re-n,ninatcd
and reelected. Mr.. Bryan, too. will
be re-non1inated. but i fear that he can
not win the goal. The fact is, the
country has been too prosperous TO war
rant any hope of a change in the ma
tional administration and people are slow
10 take up reform measures when times
are as good as they are at present. No,
! am not candidate for the Vice-Presi-
dency again. l believe it is poor policy
on the part of the Democracy to select
any candidate from the East where no
ELECTORAL votes may be expected, and,
moreover, l am not ambitious to make
the race again. If the Democrats call
upon me again, however, ! could not re-
fuse to do my duty.
The Populist members of the Demo-
cratic party always held that it was a
high crime and misdemea1or TO have
nominated q capitalist and d;rcctor of
a national bank as Mr. Sryan's running
mate, and all such are now having their
sweet revenge. That the man who ran
with Mr.. Bryan in 1886 AMI helped him
TO yell calamity should now say that NJ.
BRYAN cannot win because the country
is too prosperous, is poor return indeed
to his Populist friends who honoceG him.
In connection with the proposal of Rev.
DR.. Sheldon, of Kansas, TO conduct a
"Christian Daily" lions Herald, of Bos-
ton. a Methodist publication, observes:
There is a great amount of scnseless
talk about an ideal and Christian daily,
mainly from people who know the least
about editing papers. We deny en-
phatically the imputation that there are
now no clean aud excellent daily papers.
There are many that are practically
Christian. They stand for the higher
moral ideals. pure literature, pure poll
tics. pure homes. honest business. They
are the hulwarllS OF righteousness, and
condemn all forms of wrong and evil
u,lsparnSly. In looking for an i'm
practicable and visionary ideal we must
not forget the excellent ia'ly pi ess which
we now possess.
We note also that the Central Presby-
terrain. of Richmond, is of opinion that
the design of the whole scheme is to
advertise DR.. Sheldon and the newspaper
which he will conduct for a week.

FEARS sUHsIi,EI.

The prejudice against Constitutional
Convention has been largely removed by
the conservative course which the pres
cnt Legislature has pursued a few
years ago Virginia was more or less af-
fccted by the Popul!stic sentiment that
swept over the West and South, and
many conservative men were afraid to
lend their aid to the Constitutional Con-
vention, because they did not know, in
the existing state of public sentiment, what
sort OF a delegation would be chosen, and
what the delegates might do These men
feared that the Populist element might
gain control of the convention, and IL
50, Kansas ideas would be introduced
into the organic law of Virginia. But the
Legislature now in session has largely
Gained these fears. A few of the menl-
bcrs have been disposed to make war
on capital and stir the animals up, but
all such efforts hiye been sque!ched and
the Legislature has shown a disposition
prises and TO encourage the investment
of capital in Virginia enterprises.
The people of Virginia can always he
depended upon to do the right thing in the
long run. They may go wrong for
time. but sooner or later they will get
right. They are honest and sensible and
patriotic, and they are not easily led by
dema gogUes and rainbow chasers. Vir-
ginia is herself again, and is now in 4
good frame of mind to hold a convention
and remodel her Constitution.

Important Speech by Aseuish.

Right Hon. II. II. Asquith, addressing
the Tynesde Liberal Association at Ne"-
castle. said:
Nothing is more unjust than to seek
to undermine the confidence OF the
country and the army in a gallant general
on the strength of 4 single error of judS-
ment or a single reverse. Nor Is it q time
when it becomes responsible persons TO
go about whistling for alliance or dazing
the world with exhibitions of freaks Of
new diplomacy. The situation confront
ing us, after reading the painful news of
Buffers reverse, is so serious that it is
hardly possible to speak of any other
topic We cannot afford to spend time
in unavailing regrets. Steiner and more
urgent duties are laid upon us. We
must not exaggerate the reverse and dis
asters of to-day. They may become
victories OF tomorrow. at the same time
let us not underestimate the gravity OF
the task before us. The war has develop
ed proportions which may make it the
turning point in the fortunes of the
Empire 1t has become Wider and deep
err than the question of maintaining our
position in South Africa: 1t is orr title to
be known as n world power that is now
upon trial. and, if we fail here. the En-
Dire ceases.
..WIhether the magnitude of the task
we have undertaken ought not to have
been seen sooner IS a question which Will
have to be answered hereafter. but now 1t
is clear that our forces are inadequate. 1t
is the universal opinion of all parties that
whatever accession is needed to give the
army irresistible superiority. however
great the sacrifices involved. the country
will readily sanction. The nation con-
fdently expects the government to do
what is necessary. 1t is our duty as a
nation to be united and calm and to con-
centrate all our resources, material and
moral. upon a task which we cannot lay
down or leave incomplete. without deal
