An Houcst Coufc.sion,

The people generally think the In
tention of Mark Hanna and others of
his kind is to make this country an
empire that they might be perpetuated
in power SO long as they may be per-
mitted to live, yet 1t is only now and
then that any of those who would be
willing to see Mark Hanna in power
for life, make an honest confession.
The boldest confession of this kind
comes from the Des Moines Globe, and
should be warning to every American
who loves liberty and country that
guarantees 1t. When the men who are
in power would prefer crown, 1t is
only step from the republic to the en-
pire. The paramount question to be
settled is "shall this nation stand or
shall 1t fall?" The voters must decide
1t. Read the following from the Des
Moines Globe and then decide whether
you want Bryan and republic or Mark
Hanna and an empire:
Now is good time for America to do
away with her old, obsolete constitution
and adopt form Of government that will
be logical with our new expansion ideas
and will give ample protection to capital.
We should not be disgraccd in the sight
of civilized nations, as the violence and
killing that accompany the operation of
street cars in st. Louis now. A consti-
tutional monarchy is probably the most
desirable plan that we could now adopt.
Everything is ripe for the change. We
have large army and it can be increas-
ed under almost any pretext without
causing alarm to the masses. This coun-
try has been SO prosperous that the voters
have lost the spirit of patriotism and
honesty that are necessary to the sue
cessful operation of republics. The
strong iron hand Of discipline will have to
be used to bring the masses to full
sense of proper behavior.
Lawlessuess Among Mine Owners.

be, however powerful, however re-

| priyed themselves Of the right to re-
Duke the poorest and most ignorant
miner should he defy the law. They
can ask nobody to sit at their feet and
learn respect for statutes, for they
themselves have been law breakers on

and cruel way. They have broken the
law providing for semi-monthly pay
ment of wages. They have broken the
law forbidding the existence of com.
pany stores. They have broken Other

brethren, to remind you Of the fact
that one John R. Rogers has been
nominated for governor Of this state,
also two Southern Democrats to rep

ticket, and, it is right and proper,
that you place their names at the
head of your respective editorial
columns.
Mark Hanna is of the opinion that
Bryan imperialism had its origin

South Carolina has decided to not

can also attribute that insult to "my

the Negro.

Bob Bridges, state land commits

does not leave his office next Janu-

"Theachers shall be dismissed for
INSTRUMENTATION, immoral or unpro-

law of San Francisco. Recently a
young lady who was reaching in the
schools there got married, and she
was discharged by the board for get
ting married, but she would not have
it so, and took her case to the courts
and won out. Marrying some young
men may be highly immoral, but
that young lady proved that marry

1t is quite true, Gov. Rogers, that
lnder your administration, much of
he state debt has been paid off, but
The reason Of it was because McKin-
leyism had given the country pros
porous times and enabled the tax
payers to earn sufficient money to
pay off their state obligations, which
thing they could not do under a
Democratic administration. Moth
ng that you have done, my dear gov
9rnor, opened up the mines and

President Mckinley did. Did you
open the markets for the coal mines
N this state? Did you set the lum-
Der mills to working in this state?
Did you create market for the pro-
luce and wheat of Eastern Wash
.ngtOn? answer no. Then, if you
did not do it, who did do it? You
could not do it, but Mckinley could
and he did it; now it is a bloody
shame for you to try to palm off to
The voters that you did it.

announcement Of the death of Walter,

Of September, at the home Of its grand

Old Buckingham Again.

Editor Heraid:-I have recently
gone through the Forbes settlement,
enjoying their hospitality, examining
their farms, learning of their methods
and have returned with higher hopes
of the future Of the farming interests OF
this section of Virginia. Mrs. J. ii.
Forbes still occupies the old homestead
and a typical Southside Virginia mat
ron is she. Loyal to home, to neigh
borhood, to church and State, loyal to
past and present, in sympathy with
passing events and cherishing memo
ries Of bygone, ! do not know when
have met with an old-young person
more to be admired. Two Of her sons,
Messrs. Charles and Alexander, man
aye the farm, aud out Of the heat and
scorching dryness of the summer they
have come with full barns, good "col-
orr TO the "weedu and an abundance
for man aud beast. An evening with
them convinced me that they are not
only good farmers, but good citizens
and public spirited.
1t will be Of interest to our hunte
to know that from the front porch Of
that home may be seen the most eX-
tensive aud prolific deer park in Viz
GINA. Sportsmen Of this section need
not 90 70 the Adirondacks IN search
of game. as the gunner who can re-
main proof against the "buck ague, "
and at the same time send the centre
shot can be sufficiently entertained IN
this nearby hunting ground.
A visiting hunter from the North
killed thirteen last season, aud no
doubt has been magnifying the exploit
ever since. Our people live in igno-
rance or forgetfulness Of the many ad-
vantages belonging to this immediate
portion Of Virginia. There are per-
hans ZOO acres of land in the deer

Its fall suit is not so gay but just as be-

GINA farms. Mr.. Watkins has gather
ed a good crop, the season considered,
but it Is the result of earnest and
thoughtful work. He is one OF the few
farmers whose ice never gives out,
and by the way, it is as much Of lux
ury on hot September days as on hot
July days. Home comforts and the
country is more attractive than the
town home. Clear ice in summer aud
glowing fires in winter are twin sisters,
though they don't occupy the home
at the same time.
The wheat sowing will be confined
to tobacco land, and there was never
more proptious season for it.

sick" Virginian to do, is to come home.

On the first aud third days Of the
Fair the thrilling hre-slide will be
witnessed. This remarkable feat Is
alone worth coming miles to see. a
man saturated with blazing, flaming
oil, will dive from the top of a pole
down a wire 80 feet into lake.
Probably the most exciting featuIe
of the Fair will be the genuine mau-
hunt arranged for. Mr.. J. 5. Branc g,
Of Sodclk, WI have two genuine blood
hounds here-two Of the finest dogs in
the South, which cost each, 5000.
Engagement has been made for a man
chase each day If the Fair. The dogs
viii not be loosed until the man has
had several hours start, and not then
until it is known he has taken to a tree.
Everybody will enjoy this.
Another amusement will be the foot
ball game between two college teams.
This will take place near the race
track, Friday, between the hours Of
10 aud y A. NJ.
