THE Beers and the British are still
busy with their war in South Africa.
The British are held back by the
Beers. and the latter are strengthen
ing themselves in such ways that even
with the enormous reintorcrmrnts that
are pouring in the British have not
dared to make any forward move
ment. There have been several mi
nor engagements in which the Beers
have held their own, and it may not
be impossible for them to win their
fight finally The generalShip OF then
officers and the bravery of their men
is astonishing the world
Mr. A. B. WHITE, in letter
printed in the Wheeling IteIligeacer
formally announces himself AS caudl,
date for the Republican nomination
for Governor of West Virginia. In
all probability Mr. White will be the
nominee, for although there are other
candidates who will try to win the
prize they stand little or no chance
Mr.. White is the choice of the Lead
ers of the party III this State, and
though the cry of ring candidate may
hurt him in the general election, il
will mean only additional strength III
his efforts to secure the nomination
Mr.. White is undoubtedly the
strongest man for this place that the
Republicans can put up, aud we hope
that the Democrats will not underes-
innate the fight that Is before them
He Is of himself popular and able
man. An expert politician and an ef,
fective campaigner. Added to his own
qualities, he will have behind him the
full support Of the party machinery,
which is well creased in this State
The Democrats can do no less than put
up their very best man in the coming
fight and then prepare for battle

THE American forces IN the Phil
ippines have captured the town of
Bouroc, and have taken Agninaldo's
wife and sisters prisoners. 1t will BE-
remembered that the WIFE wardrobe
was captured a month or two ago,and
now comes the still more brilliant
achievement of surrounding the lady
herself. We are proud of our army.
Mr. WILLIAM CAMPBELL, of Charles
town, has issued "A circular in which
be very strongly sets forth his claims
to the Democratic nomination for
State Senator from this district. Mr..
Campbell is an able man, good Dem

THE LEADING ARTICLE.
Advent and Development OF the haua
toriaI In Newspapers

.awn4 90 no~a1onment OF the 1cda-
toriaI In Newspapers
81 know what leaders are, for nayo
written them,'' said Benjamin Dlsraen
in the course of a speech In the mousse
of commons, and, though all OF US Lnas
not have written leaders" for Inc
Morning Post and other newspapers
like Disraeli, we all at least know tbe
meaning of the term leaders.
For more than 100 years after the
publication Of the first daily neWspa-
per The Daily Courant, which consistt
ed of a small sheet printed on one sue
only and made its appearance in Lon
don in March, 1902, the "dailies" con-
fined themselves to what is perhaps
the proper business Of a newspaper,
the publication of the largest possible
amount of news, and made no attempt
whatever to mold or direct public opln-
ion.
At the opening of the nineteenth CEN
fury "the leading article" first appear
ed in the morning papers. 1t was orig
inally called the ''leaded article" De-
cause of the leads or spaces 1nLrO-
duced between the lines to spread out
the article and give it an imposing APP
pearance in order that it might at once
attract the eye of even the most casuaI
reader. After a time it was called
'leading article" or Header" or "edi-
torial," names by which it is now uni
versally known in newspaper offices.
At the beginning leaders" were pub
nshed only tentatively. Their publica-
ton was irregular. In form they were
brief-we should call them editorial
paragraphs" now-and they were prin-
cipally used to direct special attention
to some important event recorded In the
news columns. But 20 years ago they
became a settled and regular feature
of the daily newspaper and a potent
agency for promoting opinions, politi-
CAL religious and social.-Cornhill Mag
azine.
