viii Appeal to Norfolk.

The Richmond Leader of yesterday
says:
REV. John c. Scott, son of DR.. Scott,
the well-known druggist OF this city,
preached here last Sunday. Mr.. Scott,
who has charge OF q church in Buena
Vista. is here to solicit aid for his mis-
sionary work in that vicinity
"A brick church is being built at
Glasgow, and, owing 10 the advance in
the price OF material, it has been found
necessary to ask the aid OF the city
churches. The amount needed is 81 900
more than they now have. He will
leave Friday for Norfolk, where he
will make similar appeals.
MI. Scott will probably accept a call
to the chaplaincy of the Miller Manual
Labor School of Albemarle county.
He is we'll known in Richmond,
where he was born and reared Mr..
Scott was educated ut the University
of Virginia, and while at this institu-
ton organized Il Young Mems Chris
tian Association at the Miller School.
His influence and good work there have
not been forgotten"

Toll Roads Again.
Editor Virginian-Pilot.

Editor Virginian-Pilot.
No doubt your correspondent "ON-
WAY" would admit that good roads
are important to Princess Anne county,
1t does not need an old man to recall
the times when that county was al
most inaccessible in winter for want
OF shells. l would therefore ask your
correspondent what plan he has in
view by which good roads can be main
tanned. Is ii by increased taxation? :
There are good many clay roads in
Princess Anne County. Has the county
management of its highways been so
entirely satisfactory to CONWAY,
that he would like to'sec all the roads
in the county reduced TO the average
condition? Suppose the crusade
against private enterprise were sue
cessful, which horn of the dilemma
would be best? Universal mud holes
on the one side. or enormously increas-
ed taxes on the other?.
CONWAY" appears TO hold that the
expenses of building and maintaining
good roads should be borne. not by
those who use the roads, but by the
county The practical question is "Wir
the county accept and perform the
task? Has it done so in the past? Is
it possible to do this thing without
heavy outlays?".
If the county ought to pay "ON-
WAYS" road bills. why ought it not
to pay each mans feed bills, and fur
nish him out with forty acres and a
mule?.

In the name OF God, the American

KAYANAGH AND RONEY'S BOYS
TOMORROW NIGHT.
The Chicago Evening News says:
TO Henry Is. Roney's delicate watch
fulness, his paternal vigilance and in
fiuence, does Blatchford owe much Of
his development. lie has grown tall
and brawny and exceedingly hand
some, and has an easy, unaffected
pleasant bearing, very attractive
Above all has Mr. Roney engraven up
on this talented boys soul the love OF
music and its cleanest, sweetest meth
obs of expression. These are the most
difficult promulgations of the art of
singing while voices are changing from
haby tones of an angel to the earthlier
tones of tenor or baritone, Young
Kavanagh sings beautifully and will
grow. some tones in his voice being of
splendid force and loveliness The
outlook for Blatchford Is luminous with
promise. He sings with great feeling
and faultless taste and Gatty's "Bcnde-
mecr's Stream he delivered CHARMING
ly, exhibiting the undevcloped assur-
ance of tenor qualities in Gounous
Lend Me Your Aid" This remarlSa-
BILE young mans voice is worth
thoughtful consideration, and the devo-
ton of Mr.. Roney. unselfshly, unceas-
insly to the boys training. such as he
could bestow upon a voice, is something
TO admire and applaud. Leslie.
The Grand Rapids Democrat says:
"A notable feature in Kavanagh is
his unconscious dignity and repose of
bearing. His dramatic element is also
marked feature. All his selections
were given with refined expression and
the sympathetic quality of his excellent
baritone voice was most noticeable in
The Land o. the Leal'"
This magnificent attraction will be

Philippine Question.

In the discussion Of the Philippine question,
the indications are that we may expect 10 hear
two leading lines Of argument during the cam.
pagn.
One line OF argument as to our future course
and duty in opposition to the administration
course is based largely upon the personal inter.
pretations put upon our constitution and the
sayings of our former statesmen upon other sub
icCts, by those who have had no opportunity to
personally ascertain conditions In the Philippines
as they actually exist. The other line Of arg1-
ment is based upon the consideration Of facts
and conditions they are in the islands today,
and seeks to uphold the wisdom Of the past and
the future plans Of the administration by show
ing that under existing conditions they were
the only plans which were Just, right and hon.
orablc.
Generally speaking the first line Of argument
is Of the nature often rcsorted to by those not
wholly informed Of the facts in a case and who
therefore are inclined to magnify the deductions
Of a false logic as against those Of fact
Mr. Bryan's academic arguments should be
given full consideration in public discussions oi
the Philippine situation with its pressing prob
lens; but before the theoretical version of the
question which Mr. Bryan presents is answered
it is first in importance in seeking TO define our
national duty TO examine facts and conditions az
they exist, and then, after ascertaining what line
Of national conduct is demanded by conditions
Just and right, TO then see whether it is in con.
hct as claimed by Mr.. Bryan, with those funda
mental principles so precious to the American

Ny friends, the Republican party in this cam.

and for national progress and for national pros.
perty. 1t stands unitedly behind the president
In his foreign policy. II recognizes the master.
ful way in which he has dealt with great issues
in the fear Of God and in the highest interest
OF his fellow citizens. In this campaign our peo.
pie are for the first time, in November, TO regis.
ter their decision upon the great principles at
stake in the war in which our nation has been
engaged. What our soldiers fought for in the
Philippines our party fights for now, and the de-
feat OF our arms the field Of battle could
have been no more disastrous to those principles
than our defeat at the polls in November This
is no time for apathy and no time to discuss non
essentials. The president, who was reluctant to
have this nation enter upon the Spanish war
until he knew il was a righteous and Just war;
is now most aggressive in MS demand that the
responsibilities engenderpd nv that war shall be
met as hravely and honorably as was the war
itself But the very who we're the most
impatient to get this nation into war are now
the most impatient to have it back out
This great republic stands at the parting Of the
ways. II will not take the wrong one II will
NOT turn its back upon duty. II has come to this
nation to enter broader fields and raise to
higher and happier and better life millions Of
people cast under its protection by an unavoid
able war. 1t is true this nation is bearing great
responsibilities; but IL cannot avoid them, There
is no responsibility great as that involved in
stunning responsibility which il is our duty
to meet.
As this nation has met it's duties in the past
let us as individuals meet ours at the polls in
November; and let us stand unitedly behind the
principles and policies OF the present admins.

REUNION OF VETERANS.
Survivors of the Fiftieth Regiment
Pennsylvania Volunteers, Meet.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Towanda, Sept. 17.-About fifty vet
eran survivors of the Fiftieth regi-
ment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, repre-
senting Companies ID, G and *, held
their fifth annual reunion at Towanda
on Friday. Colonel Edward Overton
presided over the meeting and a0 ad-
dress Of welcome was delivered by
Hon. James II. Codding. Rev. Hallocli
Armstrong, of Tioga county, inv oked
divine blessing upon the gathering.
The Fiftieth lost l25 killed and had
$50 wounded, $50 dying. Fifty died in
rebel prisons. This regiment suffered
much greater loss than other Bradford
county regiments.
The regiment was organized in Sep
teInber, 1861, with B. G.. Christ as COL
onel, and was mustered out in July,
1865. Companies G. and * were from
this county. and Susquehanna county
sent Company ID. Other companies
were sent out from southern Pennsyl-
Vania. The first man killed was NJ.
Stevens of Franklin, this county. The
regiment soon earned fame and was
known by the enemies as "Reno's Fly
ing Infantry" 1t was also tine last
regiment to leave Bull Runs battle
field, which formed the rear guard Of
the Army of the Potomac. At the bat
tie of Chantelly seven members Of
Company G last their lives. From 1862
1t was called the "Old Reliable" they
having fought aside of the Ohio troops.
Captain Ingham end William Hurst
lost their lives at Antietam. 1t was
foremost at Blue Springs, Lenore Sta
tion, East Tennessee and Fort Saun-
ders.
Further mentioning the record of
the odd Reliable" it held the rear
guard at Cold Harbor and the Wilder
ness. The regiment was under COM
mand of Colonel Overton after 1862,
and temporarily in command at An
tictam and South Mountain. In 1865
Grant detailed the Eiftieth as the rep
resantatiVe of the Army of the Pcto-
mac at Gettysburg, at the event Of
dedicating the national cemetery.
Excellent remarks were made by
Colonel Overton. J. w. Hurst and 9TH
ers. Dinner was served at the Octis
house. The next meeting will be held
at New Albany, to be held Sept. H.,
1901. The new president is Isaac Bah
