EMPORIA.
Senator Daniels Address to the
Voters of Greenvi|Ie County.
An Earnest, Eloquent and Logical Discus
paIgn- News Items Told In n Paragraph.
Especial to virginian- Pilot.)


Emporia. Va, Nov. Limited States
large number of the citizens of Green's
Vile and surrounding counties in EN-
poria yesterday and held his audience
spellbound with his matchless elo-
quence and arguments.
Senator Daniel was the guest of
the Greensville county Democrats, and
was met at the train by a large del
egation of prominent citizens, and I'M
der the inspiring music of Richmond
band was conducted to his quarters at
one of the leading hotels, where he re-
manned until the hour appointed for
his speech. Several hundred ladies
were in attendance and heartily join
ed in the frequent applause which
greeted the speaker.
LINE OF ARGUMENT.
The line of argument outlined by the
Senator was upon trusts, Imperialism,
and the Republican party as whole.
Without gloves, and without favor or
fear. the speaker related facts and
figures so plainly that few, il any,
doubted the statements the Senator
made. Among other things he said:
What does the Republican party
want with the Philippine islands?
don't know. Would it not be better
for Uncle Sam to pay some one fifty
millions of dollars to take a bad bar
gain off of his hands? 1 think so. L
can not possibly see the future of
such n transaction other than taxation
and enormous expense to our people.
You have no voice in the matter. 1t
is simply taxation without representa-
ton. Let me tell you. my friends right
here 1 had the distinguished honor
of voting against this question when
ii was considered by the Senate of the
United States, and I am glad 1 did
it,"
Speaking of Cuba. Senator Daniel
remarked that the present Admins
tration had not kept faith with the
Cubans. He believed the time had
long since past when Cuba should be
given into the hands of her beloved
people. "a people who, while under
the dispensation of cruel Spain fought
and shed lifes blood for liberty
many times over, were now practi-
cally nthe same condition they were
decades ago."
AT the conclusion of his speech SEN
ator Daniel was warmly greeted by
hundreds of friends who pressed
around him to offer their hearty con-
CALCULATIONS on his telling and effective
speech.

A MONUMENT TO STARK.
House Plans 10 Honor the Memory al
That General.

That General.
The House Committee on the Library
has presented a favorable report on the
bill for the erection of an equestrian stat
ne Of Major Gen. John Stark in the city
Of Manchester, y. II. The committee re-
ports as follows.
Major Gen. John Stark was one Of the
most distinguished officers OF the Revolu-
;ionary Army. He enlisted at the first
outbreak and served almost continuously
throughout the eight Years OF war. As
recruiting officer and organizer OF troops
he was most successful. and On the field
OF battle he was cool and reckessIy brave.
Historians give him high rank in the
worlds list Of military commanders He
was in command Of the left wing Of the
American line at the battle OF Bunker
Hill, aud was in almost all OF the battles
which were fought in New England during
the war. He organized the First New
Hampshire Regiment. and afterward or
gained several other regiments He took
part in the attack on Three Rivers; was
in command Of the right wing OF the ad-
vance guard at the battle Of Trenton: was
at the battle OF Princeton, and was in com
mand Of the American Army at the battle
Of Bennington.
For his brilliant services at the battle
OF Bennington he was presented the
thanks OF Congress. He was engaged in
several other minor battles and held i'm
portant commands until the close of the
war In 11S6 he received the rank OF ma
jor general by brevet in pursuance of the
act Of Congress passed September 80. 1888.
In view Of General Starks distinguish
Cd rfsssals d
think IL but fiji and proper that a statue
should be erected to his memory in the
city in which he spent so many years Of
his life. and in which he died: therefore
your committee respectfully recommend
that the bill 10 pass.
