Some of our Virginia contemporaries are
having their respects to the fellow VINO

newspapers, and all agree that ne is 4
coward and usually a malicious coward,
possessing all the characteristics of the
assassin. We join the chorus and by way
of illustration remark that an anony-
nous scribler recently sent a cmnmunica-
ton TO this paper, in which he said that
some people believed that The Times was
the organ OF the Whiskey Trust and made
other assertions equally as false and con-
ternptibIe. And this cowardly poitroon
actually posed as a temperance refoiuner-
a pro,libitionist He was not only pol

the highest cousage-the moral courage
of conviction. He always lights in the
open ana is always ready to stand w and

Times. in spite of their differences, are
such good friends.

NEGLECT.

There Is a class OF men and women who
Think that the little things OF life are not
worth while. They are careless in their
dress and careless about speaking TO ac-
quaintances as they pass them on the
street, careless about making social calls,
observing the prophecies and careless
about showing those little attentions
which are recognized in polite society, and
which go to make up the annuities of life.
Careless people regard such things as
-ttrifi rs and say that trifes are not worth
while We are not delivering lecture,
but we say that the man who neglects
his person, who neglects to keep in touch
with his acquaintance, who neglects to be
agreeable, who neglect to observe the un-
written rules of society, needs not be sur
prssed wi hen society neglects to recognize
him. Neglect is the enemy that sows the
tares in the wheat.

SUNDAY, JUNE II, 1900.
MOVING IN THlsnIGisT DIRECTION

II is announced in Washington that the
administration has determined to abandon
it's non-interference policy in China ana
has determined to assert and defend
American rights there by force. if neces-
snry. A considerable land force will prob
ably be sent from the Philippine Islands
TO cooperate with the naval force now in
Chinese waters.
This is a sensible resolution upon Mr..
McKinleys part, and in spite of all the
clamer one shall hear from the demagegues
in regard 10 Imperialism and expansion.
The President VIII find that the American
people will hea sSy endorse and approve
of his course, if he pursues this one.
Two things in connection with the affairs
of the East are perfectly evident now.
First. Everything connected with west
crr1 civilization is about to be expelled
from China and will be expelled unless the
West promptly marches TO the support OF
its connections there; and.
Second In the melee that Is at hand, it
may Very we'll pan out that China shall
be parted up and divided up amongst the
European Powers now acting in concert
in moving upon China
We have Very great interests, both
present and prospectus in China, and it
behooves us therefore to scan the situation
calmly, but most critically, and TO do
whatever seems necessary to guard and
protect both classes of our interests. We
cannot sit supinely by and see the Chinese
expel from China our citizens. who have
been invited to come and settle there and
ceuhscate their property, without going to
their rescue We are simply compelled.
therefore by every dictate OF manhood aud
humanity 10 interfere now and with vigor
to protect the American citizens, whose
lives and property are at this moment
threatened.
But further and beyond this. China has
enormous possibilities in the way OF trade
les with her which guarantee 10 US most
important commercial rights, and il We
maintain these rights unimpaired. they
may and almost certainly VIII be the
source of enormous profits to our people
in the future We cannot shirk from the
task of asserting and maintaining our
rights now. Now is the seed time, and if
we SOW with intelligence and frankness,
we VIII reap harvest for which Ameri-
cans win thank us in many generations
10 come
our rights in China must be maintained.
and The President must act promptly and
declsiveIy in maintaining them; and he
viii find that the American people will
sustain him in whatever he does that
aims slngly and in good faith TO assert
and maintain this counuss' rights and
opportunities IN the Chinese Empire.

n.Bor SOUTH AND NORTH.

The New York Evening Post says tha'
a change is gradually taking place IN the
nationality OF cotton mill employees IN
New England That in some of the
Connecticut and Rhode Island mills
Greeks are being hired, while in many OF
the Fall River mills preference is beng
given to Portuguese and Polanders, who
have been arriving there rapidly in the
last twelve months. That is where the
Southern mills have an advantage over
those OF New England. The operatives
in Southern mills are to the manor born
They have grown up in i Southern at
1nosphere, and they possess those peculiar
qualities and qualifications which have
always characterized and distinguished
the true Southerner in peace and in war
They are a homogeneous mass, OF simple
tastes and of peaceable and contented dis
position That is why there is SO little
of strife between labor and capital IN
this section. That is why the South is
so free from strikes. That is one OF the
most potent reasons why the cotton in
dustry in the South is making such
phenomenal progress.

CURRENT TOPICS.

IT don't care to brag about the South,
but there are a great many persons who
have e,nigrated to the
NV West who now wish they
Virginia LandS> aad never left this section
of the country" said Mr. Thomas New
ton, Of Ri:hnond, to the Washington
Post. .They fail to see that in Virginia
alone is some Of the richest land in the
country. Years ago our State was in
the lead We had slaves. They did the
work After the war a great many OF our
wealthy citizens were bankrupt Ihey
left the South. The poorer classes have
not had the energy to cultivate the land
in tho way it should be done But the
Southerners who enigrated to the West
and Northwest are tired of the snow and
;,rivatio1ls of prairie life. They are anNi-
ious TO come back. They are coming back.
They have the experience of life in
northern climate. They have had to work
out their own salvation. They will know
NOW to work when they return.
We do not know who Mr.. Thomas New
ton of Richmond, is, but ne is sensible
cnaK and his judgment is good. Southern
lands are cheap and the South is alto
gether the most desirable section Of the
country in which to live. Be he white or
black, the man who has been raised in
Dixie never feels at home in any other
land.
