The wide net around the 5000 or
5000 men under General Steyn will

The Color Line in Virginia.

The color line was distinctly drawn
in the Virginia delegation at Philadel
phia last week, and there was almost
bloodshed about the Virginia head
quarters.
A. w. Harris, alternate from the
Fourth Virginia district, is one OF the
most prominent politicians in the
State. He has attended every Repub-
lican convention for the last twenty
wears. and has always regarded almost
with reverence by the colored voters
of the State. He WAS elected as an
alternate to this convention, and was
much disgrunted over his defeat tor
first place. He began to make trouble
soon after the arrival of the delegation
in Philadelphia, and when the dele
gates were assigned to quarterS at the
LAFAYETTE he protested to the secretary
of the delegation, Morgan Treat, on
account of Discrimination. Hot words
passed between the two, and but Tor
the interference of the others this
quarrel might have resulted seriously.
w hen Harris again began the quarrel
Mr.. Treat did not give him the same
consideration as before, and Harris was
elected f, ON the rooms of the delega-
JiOu.
Harris promises to make trouble fol
the party in Virginia, on account Of
the treatment the colored delegates oil
Virginia have received since their ar
rival in Philadelphia.

Gillian Get Eighteen Years.

A. e.. Gilligan, who has been on trial
for the past seventeen days in Isle OF
Wight county, for the murder of MIR.
G. b. Turner last December, was on
Saturday evening found guilty of muir
der in the second degree and given 10
wears in the penitentiary. The jury
was out less than two hours, anG on
the first ballot stood four for murder
in the first degree, and eight for MUIR
der In the second degree.
Gilligan received his doom with every
appearance of calmnesS and self'pos
session. When the foreman of the jury
announced the verdict, not a muscle
of Gilligan's face quivered. He return
ed to his seat and quietly listened to
the words which, if the verdict is not
overturned, confined him to felon''
cell.
The prisoners counsel entered the
| usual motion to set aside the verdict
| which the court will hear on Monday

gan's lawyers, in the event that new
trial is not granted by the trial judge

peals, where hard fight is to be made
for him.
1t is believed that the jury was in
fiuenced no little in reaching the yer
dict by the fact that Gilligan Was al
legged to have cruelty slandered Mis-
Turner. Another feature which NJ
doubt had an indirect influence on tn
iury was the fact that he had show
the young lady's love letters and ha'
boasted of the possession of her love.

Croker on Bryan.

Richard Croker, who returned to
New York last week, in all interview
has the following to say in regard to
the coming campaign:
LET me say to you that. though the
Republicans have nominated the
strongest ticket they could bring for
ward. they must still lose next Noyem-
her. Their defeat is fOreardalned.
The record of the last four years STANDS
out to damn them.
mckinley represents Republicanlsm
as it is now understood by the leaders
of his party. Roosevelt adds strength
to the ticket, but not enough to save
it from ignominlOus defeat.
"Mr. Bryan will be nominated at
Kansas City. Some time ago | express
ed the belief that he is the logical lead
er for the campaign. Since then have
had no reason for reforming that opln'
ior. On the contrary, l believe that
Mr.. Bryan has grown in strength. he
| is now better understood by the peO'
ple. and the mistakes made by the Re
publicans must work to his advantage
'sTrusts, believe, will be made the
dominant Issue. They. should be-
Trusts have been made possible anc
have been foStered by Republican leg
islation. They are creatures of Re
publlcanism. The Republicans mus
accept responsibility for them.
"Imperialism will demand almost al
much attention from the voters Thu
year as will the trusts. If this nation
has come to the parting of the ways
that fact cannot be given too mucl
prominence. The United States hay
existed as a republic. They hav
prOspered and grown strong ana pow
erful in every way The attempt u
turn the form of government int1 tina
, of an empire must be thWarted.

A POSSIBLE MISTAKE.

The only soldier this country has
produced in late years has allowed
himself to be shelved by being tied on
t, the tail of the Republican kite, and
lifted into the air, where he can get no
f,othold in the event he should want
to perform another feat OF a Warlike
character. We regret. inexpresslbly
regret, that this Is the case. We note
that the Grand Duke Alexis, of Russia,
has already appeared upon the field in
Pagan China. There will of course soon
arrive Grand Dukes, and Earls, and
Lords from other empires in Europe.
Why should it have fallen to the lot OF
the American Empire, that its prince
ly soldier should be dangling his legs
in political mid air, when if he could
get his feet on terra firma, he would
HE away to China, and the Dukes, and
Grand Dukes, and Earls, and Lords,
and especially that Grand Duke Alexis
would drop out of public attention as
on a memorable occasion did one Will
liam Shafter and surrender their jobs
to our Teddy. The Empress Dowagel
and Lii Hung Chang and Wau Whoop
and Wun Lung, and all the other celes
tials would be treated to a dose o.
Rough Rider. which Is only admins
tered in time of great conflicts and thel
only by the New York specialist, th'
incompatible Roosevelt. What mis-
fortune that the Chinese war must b
fought without him, that Tientsln
and Cheefoo, and Pekin and all tn
hills surrounding them must be storm
ed and taken, and the campaign man
aged, and conducted without our EN-
balmed beef, or our Teddy. Is not thi
a mistake from which both he and tn
Republican party cannot soon recoN
er? 1t looks so now, but may be MI
Hanna can devise some scheme
nullify it's effect. For the sake of on
y military prestige and Republican on
impotence we hope this may be I'll
case.

THOSE EXPORTS.

One of the boasts now being made
by the Republicans is that the exports
for eleven months of this year have
been in value 81, 2S6 2l4,5 34 Just VIII"
puts the valuation on these goods we
are not advised, but good Republicans
of course, and the values are made
sufficiently high to suit campaign pur-
poses, aud the whole affair is no douDI
sufficiently padded to meet all exigeh
cies. The impression intended thereby
| to be created seems to be that we never
had any export trade worth Inentloh
ing until McKinley's reign, or II any
it was TOO insignificant to be counted
But. as a matter of fact, in Clevelandss
second administration our exports
reached very near the present ngure'
AZ bad as the times seemed to De, auC
as tight as the Republican trusts, cor
porations and money kings made tn
money market. The exports for thu
year ending June 80, 1897, exceeded
billion dollars, and there was no pao
dug. These figures we're given by TN
Kin 8. Bureau of Statistics, and are q
follows, 81, O5O, 1893, 556. With all IN
) padding for campaign purposes 1t VII
be seen that the increase IS not g
, phenomenal. The unfairness OF TIL
J campaign statement above referred
is shown by the fact that no cOmpara
tive statement is given. Had TIL
: been done the figures they parad
would have fallen short In their e1for
to cause enthusiasm or become "ch
a merical."

Very Deceptive.

ColW J. Bryan, returning to Chica-
20 and Lincoln from his vacation, said
regarding the Republican platform
adopted at Philadelphia: 1.-The Phila
delphia platform is the best evidence
thus far given OF the deception at
tempted by the Republican party.
Taken in connection with the speech
es made, it shows that the Republican
platform of 1896 was a deliberate fraud
as far as the promises of international
bimetalism were concerned that the
party attitude on the trust question
is insincere and that the party is not
willing to state it's attitude on the
Philippine questions and invite the
Judgment of the people. Nothing was
more manifest i'm the convention than
the military spirit and yet the conven.
ton did not dare endorse the demand
of the President in 1898 for standing
army of 100. 900 men,"

Marrow Escape from Death.

While walking over narrow passage
bridge on the Southern railway In
Shenandoah county about midnight
Friday night, Samuel Evans, OF Wood
stock. Va had a narrow escape from
instant death. Evans had been to
Edinburg, and was walking back to
Woodstock. When he was about the
centre of the bridge a south-bound
freight. going forty miles an hour,
overlook him. The bridge is the high
est in Virginia. being 212 feet above
the waters of Narrow Passage creek.
The bridge is not provided with any
safety foot rail, but supports only the
cross ties and rails. When the train
was within few Yards OF Evans ne
sprang to the ends of the ties and lay
fiat on his face while the train swept
by. The ties projected only eighteen
inches beyond the rails, and Evans was
crouched OH this space, with death on
either side if he moved. The engineer
thought he had struck Evans. 80 search
| ing parties went out from Edlnburg
and Woodstock to hunt for his dead
body. Some hours later he turned ul
at home alive and unhurt.
