A BLACK EYE FOR BRYAN.

Perhaps no man in Virginia is better
known than Charles T. O'Feuell, ext
Governor, ex-Judge andex-Congressman
No one has ever questioned his Demo-
ctacy. This is what he says about Mr.
Bryan;
so far as success in 1900 is concerned,
l regard the Democratic situation as
hopeless. Bryan will be re-nominated,
and Mckinley will lead the Republicans
to a more complete victory than he did in
1906. The Democratic leaders who are
keeping up the Bryan delusion must know
that has no chance, but all the same they
are irrevocably bent on forcing him upon
the people once more. To abandon him
would be to admit the egregious folly of
the Chicago platform, and such an adj
mission would damn them in the eyes of
their constituents.
Il voted for Palmer and Buckner in
1896 because regarded w, J. Bryan as
a Populist, l still regard him one. 1t was
painful to saperate myself from the po-
litcal friends and associates of years, but
there is no reason why a Democrat should
b. coerced into the support ola Populistic
candidate. In 1872, when much younger
man. refused to vote for Horace Greeley
ard though a great deal of adverse criti-
cism was launched at me, within a year
and a half | felt fully vindicated, being
nominated for judgeship in Democrat
ic convention. have had nearly every
honor that the people of Virginia could
give a man, and am profoundly attached
to the Democratic party, but such Demo-
ocracy as Bryan's | repudiate utterly.
That Mr.. Bryan was making arrange
ments with the Populist leaders in 1898
to enter Virginia and take the stump
against me, in my Gubernatorial canvass
of that wear, there is overwhelming evil
dence, and when | taxed him on the floor
of Congress with such an intent he did
not enter any positive denial, though
finally stating that he would not Join in
the campaign against me. He said in the
same interview that he did not approve Of
the way the Virginia Democrats were
acting. And this is the man that is all
lowed to lead the grand old Democratic
! party to perdition."

LINCOLN AND THE AGUINALDISTS

When Abraham Lincoln was trying tc
save the Union little band Of snarling
critics was barking at his heels and trying
to create public sentiment against him.
The popular name for these menNwas
"copperheads. " if they had succeeded in
their purpose, every one is willing now to
admit, it would have proved disastrous to
the country and to humanity.
The patience Of Lincoln was tried by
this situation, but il was only on rare oc-
casions that he gave evidence of 1t. But
at one time, when he was explaining why
he saved young deserter from being
shot, he gave expression to his feelings
towards those copperheads in the follow
ing language: - Must shoot a simple
minded soldier boy who deserts, while |
must not touch hair of willy agitator
who induces him to desert? This is not
the less injurious by getting father, or
brother, or friend into public meeting
and thus working upon his feelings until
he is persuaded to write the soldier boy
that he is fighting in a pad cause, for a
wicked administration of contemplate
government,toow weak to arrest and punish
him if he shall desert. | think that in
such a case to silence the agitator and
save the boy is not only constitutional, but
withal great mercy
There are men who call themselves
anti-imperialists. but who are more APP
propriately known as Aguinaldists. Some
of them have the assurance TO invoke the
name of Lincoln in support of their cause.
The above quotation proves how widely
Lincoln would differ from the Aguinal-
dists of today, if he were living, and how
brand with his scorn their unpatriotc at
ttude.
The Aguinadists of our time have
been to Otis and Mckinley what the
"Copperheads" of 1865 were to Meade,
to Grant and to Lincoln. Aguinaldo's
prociamatons and other utterances to his
followers prove conclusively that his hopes
rested solely on the political campaign to
be conducted in the United States by the
"anti-imPerialistic' gang. If he had
not been sustained by this delusion his
instruction would have come to an end
long ago. Fortunately the plot to dis
couage enlistments at home and to pro-
woke a mutinous spirit among our soldiers
in the Philippines failed. The politi-
cal campaign received a merited
condemnation from the American people
at the-recent elections, and now the coun-
try is learning with satisfaction that
Aguinaldos instruction as organized re-
bellon is on its last legs.

Ahead of Time.

Master Edgar Hollis, the thirteen year
old son of Mai-messenger Hollis, who
started alone on horseback to Baltimore,
is home. The youthful rider not only
reached his destination safely, but arrived
there ahead of schedule time. He
started out on Friday morning at eleven
o'clock and arrived in Baltimore at six
o'clock on Saturday evening. The time
they expected him to arrive there was on
Sunday at noon.
Deducting from this the time spent in
putting up for the night and for feeding,
it is good time even Tor a man to make on
horseback. The distance IS eighty-four
miles. He went from here to Boonsboro,
passing through SheppherdStown and
Keedysville, striking the National Pike at
the former.place.

No Tomatoes.

Owing to the lack of interest taken by
the farmers in raising tomatoes, the
Rothwell-Lovett Canning Company has
decided not to can that product this
wear. The company has made frequent
efforts and has instructed the farmers
how to raise tomatoes and sweet corn,
but they do not seem to take TO raising
it and the company has been compelled
to give up canning these goods altogeth-
er. The company has planted out toma-
toes of its own, but this, with the small
supply furnished by the farmers, will not
be sufficient to keep the large plant IN
operation.
The canning of fruit will be continued
on a more extensive scale than ever pc
fore, however. The rapid strides tor
ward that this section has taken IN the
fruit raising industry is making 1t one OF
the most extensive apple and peach grow
lnp sections in the world, and a, flourish
ing and prosperous future is in sight both
for the growers, the cold storage plant
and cannery.
- Especially does the company expect TO
but up large number Of peaches this
wear. The prospects are that the crop
will be a bountiful one. The peaches, as
well as the apples, grown IN TINS Secuoh
are of a fine quality and a ready sale IS
always found for them in the markets.
The canning of peaches, apples and other
fruits grown in this section, together with
a few vegetables, will occupy most OF the
attention of the Canning Company the
coming season.

1T is not doubted that, if we have
abandoned these islands or should never

The Democratic papers are great bullS
ders of-pipe dreams. They are eagerly
and longingly looking for something to
grasp, something to chew on, something
to gloat over, that is Republican. They
make up great stories of Republican dis
cord and Republican tights,and then draw
the conclusion that the party is just about
to 60 to pieces. The Porto Rican bill
gave them the chance of tile year for
drawing on their hnaginations, and they
did not lose any time grabbing it. They
whoop and squirmed and prevaricated
and predicted dire and awful results. 1t
all amounted to nothing. The result of
the vote on this measure shows that their
misrepresentation in this instance accom-
plished no good, and that it did not fool
any one. The newspapers of this great
party of reform q, ought 10 reform.
They are most sadly deceived if they i'm
agine the great Republican party will be
disturbed in the slightest degree by the
moss-covered falsehoods they continued
use. Not much.
