city and probably now knows great
deal about them. In the days when
he knew the most, however, hegOt out
and circulated among the people and
found out what they we're thinking
about. Now only a few people ap-
proach Croker, and they all tell him
glowing tales, because he hates to lis
ten to anything disagreeable. In this
he has assumed an imperial position,
and nothing but what is pleasant can
be told to the imperial boss of the New
York democracy. As matter of fact,
Croker's judgment is bad. It was had
at Kansas City. 1t is bad now. He
simply does not know the situation.
Nobody believes In the genuineness OF
the alleged bets that he has made.
They are probably what is known as
wash" bets. Senator Platt was over
here in Washington the other day. and
he cheered up the republicans great
deal by showing cOnclusively that
New York was safe. At the same time
there should be no lack Of interest by
the business men, the merchants, me-
chsnics, farmers or laboring men, be-
cause over confidence might mean dis
aster, and the full republican vote is
needed to stamp out the last vestige Of
Organism in this country.
Brs an in supporting the anti-injunc.
tion policy Of the democracy, says that
injunct -ons are unnecessary because
the things they stop are either illegal
or legal, snd.sif they are illegal. the
person doing an illegal act can be pun.
ishsd. That is beautifully Bryanesqus.
1t is part of the Bryanocracy
of the democratic party.
Suppose mob was destroying prop
erty. Suppose railroad company
proposed to destroy mans property
and run its road through his house.
The mob, II individual members could
be found, and some persons connected
with the railroad company, could be
punished; but what good would that
do the man whose property was de-
stroyed? An injunction saves proper
ty, and it is then determined whether
the proposed act is legal or illegal.
1t is also good thing for the people
whom the injunction restraints, be-
cause 1t saves them from punishment
by fine or Imprisonment il it is found
that they were going to perpetrate
an illegal act. 1t is another case of
where Bryan thinks the American
people are fools.
Somebody asked Bryan, when he
was discussing colonial policies of the
government, how about North Caro-
lima and the race question of that state.
Bryan avoided the question, saying
that he wanted them to read the Sulu
treaty, and said the voters would
blush until election time and never
mention North Carolina. Now, a. to
the Sulu treaty. The president dis
tinctly said that he would not approve
any treaty or any arrangement recog-
nizing the slavery which has hereto
fore existed, or anything else In con-
tiict with the constitution of the Unit
ed States. Bryan is not only unfair,
but he is untruthful.

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
Breezy Gossip ON Various Topics
From the Nations Capital.

From the Washington point of view
everything has been looking very
much more encouraging for the repub-
lican party the last week than at any
time during the campaign. The hard
work that the republicans have been
doing is telling in every direction.
In the east the states which the demo-
Gratis say are doubtful, and which they
think they can carry and must carry,
in order to win, are New York, Mary
land, West Virginia and Delaware.
We will probably hear of them claim
ing Connecticut and New Jersey, but
very few have had the nerve to make
any such assertion. In all of the east
ern states many things have been
looking up very much for the republic
cans. West Virginia and Delaware
are sure to vote the republican ticket.
There is no question about New York.
Maryland is still in doubt, but the
apathy of the republicans has disap-
peared. and the business men and la
boring men have begun TO see that
their interests may be imperiled by
the election of Bryan, and they are
coming out strongly in favor Of McKin-
ley and prosperity.
There seems to be no doubt about
McKinley's election. There seems to
be some doubt about the next house of
representatives 1t is pointed out,
however, that the presidency has al
ways carried the house of representa-
tives with it, save in the election of
1885, when Hayes had a majority Of
one in the electoral college. while
Tllden had large plurality OF the
popular vote. OF course, the house
might be carried along with the presi-
dency if the trend towards republican
ism is very large. But great many
districts may send democratic con-
gressmcn, although voting the repub-
can ticket. The south, of course, is q
handicap OF ia votes to start with,
and the democrats have to carry only
eighty-twO northern districts, east and
west, to secure the house. II any OF
the big states are at all close on the
presidential ticket, it would not be at
all surprising to see that number Of
democrats elected in northern states.
Still the house Is not lost, and it must
be fought for.
We have been hearing a great deal
from the snti-expansionists xbout i'm
perialism. A man making some in
vestigations recently dug up speech
OF Allan G. Thurman's, delivered in
ls4s, in which he denounced every
body generally as traitors who opposed
the annexation Of the territory acquir-
ed from Mexico after the war with
that country. In the halls Of congress-
about 1850, Stephen A. Douglas called
Columbus Delano traitor because the
latter still criticised the conquest of
the territory from Mexico. Thurman
and Douglas were leading democrats Of
their time. They were expansionists
what the democrats of today try To
call "imperialists."
Croker is still claiming the election
of Bryan and also that he will carry
New York for the Nebraska man. As
matter Of fact, Croker has no judg-
ment in national politics Whatever.
There was time when he was we'll

"IN HIS STEPS,"

1t Is generally known by the reading
public that on the 18th of the present
month, one Rev Sheldon, will assume
editorial charge Of daily paper which
is being published in Topeka, Kansas,
and continue as such for one week, APP
plying to his conduct as such editor,
this test: "What would Jesus do p"
The venture is novel and has invited
criticisms from all parts Of the civilized
world. Some are cruel enough to say
that it is a mere money making
scheme, an advertising dodge, while
others go so far as to dOnOunce it as
sacriligiOus. If the reverend gentle
man is indeed stealing the livery of
heaven that he may more effectually
serve the devil, then he deserves uni
versal execration and Implying con-
domination, but who of mortal is
charged with the omniscient duty
of reading the spirit of brother man
What soul is so open to the gaze of
the world that passers-by can look in
and cry, "Thou hypocrite ?" Who but
the God who made us understandeth
the thought Of man even afar of?
Is not the newborn editor entitled
to at least as much consideration as is
the criminal arraigned in court of
justice and be allowed the "benefit of
reasonable dOubt?" If he is honest
and the reasonable doubt" says he is,
then is he sacriligious in applying such
test to daily avocation ?"
We confess, and we write it reve-
rently, that we don't know how Jesus |
would conduct religious or secular |
paper, nor do we know how he would |
practice any of the secular professions
or manage any Of the worlds business
enterprises, but when he has left on
record this impressive command.
Follow thou me" we cannot find it
In our heart to criticise the fellow.m
who tries honestly to do so.
"The planning Of the wicked" is said
to be "sinful," and men are command
ed ITO eat and drink to the glory of
God"
Giving, then, the brother the benefit
OF at least reasonable doubt" we
await with interest the appearance of
his paper, and when we have read 1t
will exercise our unquestoned right Of
expressing an opinion as to its merits
Or dement's. In the meantime we send
our God speed to brother man who
says he wants to be God-like.

FRIDAY. MARCH 9. 800.
DEATH OF OUR CONGRESSMAN.

The Hon. Sydney p Epes, member
ofCongress from this District, died in
Washington on the morning of the
3rd, after brief illness, which necessl-
tated surgical operation, and in the
35th year of his age. His remains, at
tended by Congressional escort, were
brought to Blackstone, where the flu
neral services were had and where he
was buried Sunday afternoon.
His death was a peculiarly sad one
No man of his age in Virginia had
been more honored and no one had a
brighter future.
Not only was he hOnored in the State
of his birth, but he had so won upon
his colleagues in Congress, and his
worth had so impressed itself, that he
had been recognized as a factor in
national politics, and though the
youngest of his associates had been
given place in national councils.
His death was a great shock to our
people, who had learned to know and
admire him for his gentleness Of man
ner, cordislity, of greeting and bis I'M
fiinching loyalty to Virginia's best in
terests.
He leaves a widow and five small
children, to whom we would tender
our warmest sympathy.

lts Coming Is Looked Forward to
With Both Joy and Fear and its
Safe Arrival is Hailed With
Pride and Delight by All.

The arrival Of the first baby in the
household is the happiest and most i'm
portant event Of married life. The young
wife who is 20 become a mother delights
to think Of the happiness in store for her
when the little one shall nestle upon her
breast and latterly she shall hear it lisp
The sweet and holy name, mother. +"
But her happy anticipation quickly van
ishes when she realizes the terrible pain
and suffering through which she must
pass while bringing the little one into
the world. An indescribable fear of the
danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissipates her joyfulness.
Thousands Of women have learned
by experience that there is absolutely
no necessity for the sulferings which at
tend childbirth; they know that by
the use OF Mothers Friend"-a scien-
tiiic liniment--for n few weeks before
the trying hour, eXpectant mothers can
20 prepare themselves for the final
hour that the pain and suffering OF the
dreaded event are entirely obvi0ted and
10 is safely passed through with COM
paratively little discomfort.
All women are interested, and es-
pecially eXpectant mothers who for the
first time have TO undergo this trial. in
such a remedy; for they know the pain
and suffering, 10 say nothing Of the dan
Ger, which is in store for them. Moth
er's Friend is woman's greatest bles-
sing, for it takes her safely through the
teverest ordeal OF her life Every woman
should be glad to read the little book

An article In Tuesdays Dispatch
with regard 10 probable congressional
candidates in the Fourth district,
speaks of Judge A. ID. Watkins as the
only Democrat i'm the district that the
Republicans would not oppose. This,
whilst really a high compliment, is
susceptible of misinterpretation that
might be damaging TO Judge Watkins
with Democrats who do not know him
personally. Judge Watkins is man
of unique character His intellectual
and moral parts are of singularly high
order. Outright honesty Of purpose
and hearty good will to men are man
ifest in whatever he does or says. One
cannot be with him an hour and not
know that he is a man TO trust. His
manner has the unassumed frankness
and the cordial warmth that assure
you of his largeness of heart. I'm his
extensive and varied experiences with
public affairs he has always shown
such wisdom and tact that his friends
want to trust him further; and he has
ever been so loyal to truth and so fair
in his judgment that he has made few
enemies. He is singularly rich in the
qualities that win favor and give infu-
ence with men; and if he should be-
come a candidate he would be very
hard to beat The interests Of the
Fourth district, and Of Virginia as well,
cannot be committed to ADLER or safer
hands

Mr.. Mckinley has made another
speech. In New York, at the Ohio
dinner, and his admirers say it was
calm, brave, earnest, patriotic, &c, but
when in the first few lines, as publish

IN the Philippines as unavoidable and
unregrettable," we stopped right there
and didn't move another peg.

greet even the necessity of killing fell

from its place in the dictionary that he
