AS e suitable reward for energy,
even if it be wasted energy, Virginia
should erect a monument to her tried
and true young statesman, Senator
Barksdale, by placing On her statute
books the Barksdale election law, even
though it be utterly worthless, as it is
The passage of such a law may en-
courage some other statesmen to erect
to~mbstones, by advocating hog laws,
dog laws, chicken laws, and goose
laws. The demand for laws was never
greater, orders are coming in every
day, and they cannot be filled as fast az
customers desire. Give us laws. These
are days Of large orders and ~increas-
ing business demands. Every states
man should have a law, he should be
able to point his constituents to Ibis
law"; bis family and friends should
have an opportunity to rejoice with
him over Ibis law" No people should
send a delegate to the Legislature who
does not bring back at least from one
to one hundred laws of his own manu-
facture. The more worthless the law
the less danger We incur, so give us the
Barksdale election law.

Lsander J. Mccormick, member OF
the famous Harvester machinery firm
and founder of the Leander McCor-
mick Observatory of the University

Virginia Hotel in Chicago on Tuesday.
Mr.. Mccormick was born at Walnut
Grove, Va, February. 1872, and "a a
son of Robert Mccormick, a Virginia

reaping machine. Cyrus II. McCor-
mick, whose genius finally made the

The Latest from South Africa.

London. Feb. 22.-At a meeting of
the Windsor town council, it was an
nounced that Queen Victoria had re.
ceived news of the relief of Ladysmith.
An announcement that Ladysmith
has been relieved is posted in the
Town Hall at Windsor.
The judges in the London courts in
terrupted the proceedings to-day and
read the Windsor report announcing
the relief of LadYsmith. Jurors, law
yers, witnesses and spectators joined
in the cheering that followed.
The announcement is probably pre-
mature, as the town councillors are
scarcely in royal confidence.
AT 8 O'Clock the War Office officials
said that there had been no further
news from General Butler.
The Evening Standard prints a re-
port that General Hector Macdonald,
commanding the Highlander brigade
under General Roberts, was severely
wounded.
A dispatch to the Exchange Tele.
| graph from Cape Town dated to day
says that General Cronje was sur.
rounded by General Roberts force al
Paardsberg.
Important news from the seat o,
war in the west is also expected at any
time. Everything points to a desper
ate struggle in the enYirons of Bloom
fontein, whittier the Beers are hasten
ing from all points. 1t ls now believ
ed that General Cron je will have al
most the same number of men as Gen
eral Roberts, unless the latter is Con
siderably REINFORCED.
Both sides are preparing for a strug
gle. and if General Cronje gives battl
at Bloemfontein, the engagement wi
be one of the most decisive of the war.

Mr.. Hay. u Secretary Of State,

sui to the Bosr country, but in placing
him he had to smove another consul,
who was not in sufficient sympathy
with the English to suit the present
administration. The other consul was
a Mr.. Macrum. Now Mr.. Macrum
tells of British conduct, how they
opened his mails, and did many things
which if they be true, will likely awak-

of a secret understanding between this

The telephone bill now before the
Legislature is an emanation from the
Bell Telephone Company and is a bold
and daring effort on the part of that
corporation to drive out all other tele-
phone companies, and restore itself to
the power and place it enjoyed before
Its patents expired, and rob and loot
the public again as it did for the TWEEN
ty years just past. We little believed
such q thief could live a moment in

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady

they had heart trouble, because the heart is

IT 0 E TO NORFOLK.

The Republicans have decided not
to hold their convention in Staunton,
but at Norfolk. Staunton did not ask
TO. it, no more did any other city in
the State save and except Norfolk. 1t
was not hankered after. We never
had the pleasure of beholding but one
assembly of this character in Virginia
and that met here several years age.
The leaders were not proud of it we
opine, and the State at large had small
reason to be proud of the leaders or
the body as Il whole. A man could
not we'll be proud of himself after be-
ing found 10 be a member OF it. A
Virginia Republican convention must
be dark to be representative. 1t must
have African musk thickly sprinkled
throughout to make the negro feel bis
Importance, and de white gemmen"
feel at home. This cannot be done in
the Valley. The conditions will not
permit. This is a white MANS coun-
try, and ROCKINGHAM, which has been
a Republican stronghold, has in it a
village which points the trend OF SEN
timenJ there, by the villagers refusing
to allow a negro to move into its pre-
cinets. In the convention here negroes
were scarce, but what they lacked in
numbers they made up i'll shiny black
ness, in perspiration and in brazen.
