The Virginian-Pilot feels n special
grief at the death Of General Dabney
H. Maury, who, distinguished as he
was as gallant and skilful soldier,
an able author and a devoted patriot,
was best known. loved and respected
In Virginia as gentleman and n man
who, with all his honorable ancestry,
had least need Of other than his own
personal qualities to ennoble him. In
him a famous name was emblazoned
with fresh merits and new honors, and
long will his memory live In the affcc-
tionate respect and admiration. not
only of VirginIans. but of all who knew
him.
He died in another State. but vir-
ginia will reclaim his dust as hers.

BARKsDALE'S ELECTION BILL.

The Virginian-Pllot has q large de-
gree of sympathy for the person who
opposes honest elections. Nor does this
exclude greater degree of contempt
for those persons who pretending to be
in favor of honesty. oppose every
measure offered. aid in none, and offer
no substitute.
Viewing the situation from the stand
point of the people, 1t is desired by
every honest man that an honest cleo
ton be had; that every vote cast shall
be counted as was intended by tho
suffrgan.
Viewing the subject from the stand
point OF the Commonwealth, no man
who would accept pay for his vote
should be allowed TO cast vote. And,
more important yet. the candidate that
would accept an office obtained by
bribery Is unworthy OF representing a
most dishonest and contemp tible pco-
ple much more the good people OF the
grand old Commonwealth OF Virginia
He is venal by nature. He is corrupt
in thought and desire and nothing but
dishonesty may be expected of him in
office. A man who can be bought for
one side, can be bought for the other
So, candidate that will buy his cleo
ton, can. 1t Is believed, likewise be
bought MS an officer.
But let us look at 1t from lower
but more worldly and practical and,
therefore. political standpoint The
candidate himself will be protected
from the appeals OF the dishonest and
impucunIous voter. He has good and
Legitimate" excuse and can refuse
every request. His honesty is guarded
and protected, looking at the situation,
Of course. from the position of n can
didate with a venal rival In the field.
AS to the bill itself. There are some
Objectionable points to some people.
The stricter 1t Is the better the Vir-
ginian-Pllot is pleased. Some object to
the allowance Of expense money for
tude Is allowed
There will be little trouble in point
Ing out the weak places of an account
titled for expenses. The city candidate
will hardly file hotel bill, when he
should have been al home where he be-
longs Nor will the country candidate
file such claim when ne knows the
Ghost of hospitablc friend may rise
up and expose his lie. So 1t is. The
statements of candidates, verified by
affidavit will mako good oo,,,no,r, i, =,
gument and. therefore, will generally
be correct.
The bill is modelled after the Missouri
statute and Is, therefore, n practical
matter. instead of an experiment.
The Virginian-Pilot will watch with
interest the reasons given by lcglsla-
tors for voting against it.

DEMOCRATS CAN MAKE PEACE.

the opinion that President McKialey,s
indiscreet proclamation to the Fill

gone to the Senate disclosing the fact
that he designed to confine them In
definitely In n paternal nursery. or
political kindergarten, had the effect
OF precipitating the rebellion" in the
Philippines; and 1t is not improbable
that Gen. Otis and his army have done
more to continue this rebellion" than
to end 1t. Nor is 1T at all unlikely that
when the Filipinos read Senator Bev-
cridge's speech, declaring in the United
States Senate. as the recognized spokes-
man of Mckinley and his party. that
THE Philippines are ours forever" and
also read the resolution which he Of
fered and supported, the rebellion"
VIII grow in numbers, extent and de-
termination.
1t is evident enough that the Philip
pines will not be ours at all, IL the Fill
ipinos can prevent it, that they will
fight the Republicans to "the last
ditch. and that, in case of subjugation.
the islands are apt to prove anything
but profitable in Republican hands.
The restoration of permanent peace
in the islands. and a friendly arrange
ment with their people, agreeable and
profitable to us and them, can only be
hoped for nationally under a Demo-
cratic administration. which the Fill
pinos can respect and trust.

B0ER LAAGERS.
Camp Defenses Formed from Wagons
Placed Axle to Axle with Poles
Outward.

In South Africa, whenever travellers
"outspan" for the night, they inva-
riably form the wagons into a defens-
i've work called a laager. Provided
there are enough wagons, this is either
square or oblong, the latter shape be-
ing preferred. When each OK is al
lowed sc square feet the smallest
laager that will hold the oxen is that
formed by 90 wagons. These are
formed in single rank in a hollow
square, touching. and with their poles
outward. This renders the impro-
yised protection easily removed when
the order to "inspan" is given. Each
wheel should be locked and fastened
securely to its neighbor, to prevent an
enemy from dragging ont one of the
wagons and thus gaining access TO the
square. Every human being and an
imal must be within the inclosure be-
fore dark, or they may run serious
risk from being fired upon by their
own friends. If time permits a shelter
trench should be dug all around the
lager, so that, with men lying in them,
the others posted on the wagons,
double tier of infantry fire may b.
maintained

BEAUTIFUL FIGURES.
How a Woman May Acquire snd Re.
tain Symmetrical De-
yelopment.

A beautiful figure is the most pre-.
cious gift, after perfect health, that
any woman can possess. 1t is of far
more value than pretty face. 1t lasts
much longer, and it does not betray
the years. as must eventually even the
most perfect features and the most
lovely skin. With a perfect form,
snlartly gowned apd well set up, q
woman cannot fail to look charming.
There are three classes of women
from an artistic standpoint, who may
lay claim to beauty of form. In the
first class belong all the daughters OF
Juno. They are great, tall, msgnif-
cent looking creatures. whom some
men describe as full bodied" women.
In the second class are the daughters
Of Venus. These women usually give
the impression of ideality. They are
always well-developed, graceful and
generally good to look at. In the
third class are gathered the children
Of Psyche. Under this class come the
women and maidens usually described
ss having fragile, girlish looking fig
ures. OF the three classes, some ad.
mire one and some another, but very
beautiful women are found in all three.
A woman who desires to make the
very most of herself should study her
own figure. She should find out its
good points, its better points, its bad
points and It's very bad points.
She shoulA chen take it in hand, and
by means of exercise, diet, gymnastics,
o good tailor and first-class corset
maker, set herself up to the best pos
sible advantage.
A woman can really do more with
her figure than she can with her face
II inclined to be too stout she should
vigorously abstain from everything
that encourages embonpoint, such as
late hours, over indulgence at table
and leading in general lazy, indolent
existence.
If she has not the courage to make
these sacrifices she must say good-by
to beauty of form. She will then join
the overlooking ranks of women who
when they have passed the age of 30
make no further pretensions to beauty
of figure.
II. on the contrary, her trouble bt
an nnsightly leanness Of body and
limb, which makes it impossible fol
her ever to appear in either becoming
evening gown or smart tailor frock
she should, with the aid of both diet
and gymnasium, set about developing
her form to the utmest. 1t is her duty
to cover, with soft. firm curving flesh
the harsh outline of her angles. Some
thin women think it useless to try tC
put on little flesh. They say, hope
lessly: "0h, it's not my nature to be
fat" They appear never to have
learned that IL is of the very nature oi
a human being to possess a healthy,
well-developed body.
When they lack this gift Of nature
their birthright, there is something
wreng somewhere. They should find
out what it is, and remedy it.-N. Y

imported horses, certainly require the
greatest care. They must never be

nosebag on, and the snakes are a
perpetual danger to them, though the
bite is not always fatal, for there are
many varieties of snakes which are
not venomous. Still, a native horse
