in Virginia.
Especial to News and Courier.

Richmond, Va, April 21.-Tho
Hon. John e. Massey, the father of
Virginia reimbursement and tho most
picturesque figure in the contests
which landed Malone in tho United
States Senate, has again come into
prominence in politics. This timo
Massey is leading in tho fight for
constitutional convention, the princi-
pal object of which is to disfranchise
the negro vote in Virginia and utter
ly eliminate him from politics. Mas
soy, dozen years ago, was by long
odds the most powerful stumper in
the South. He, however, is getting
old now and tho Democrats have be-
como lukowarm in their regard for
him. The question of DISTINGUISHING
the negro voter has made an issue
upon whichMassey is especially force
1ul. lie TOOK tho stump last at tho
University town Of Charlottesville
and in his advocacy of constitu-
tional convention easily overthrew all
Of his old time adversarios. He car
riod the meeting by an overwhelming
majority. The question Of assem-
bling a convention is about the only
ono on which Senators Daniel and
Martin have disagreed during their
six years in the Senate. They are
widely apart on this and are making
determined fight against each other.
Daniel is for and Martin is against
the convention.

permits us to gaze upon his bosom.
Odd Fellowship has boen no small

produced these tremendous activities.
The air, the sea and tho land have in
turn all yielded up part of their
independence. Genius has opened
tho doors that shut in the secrets Of
nature, and as they havo swung back
at tho command of an all conqucring
mind, the dazzling radiance Of future
possibilities, dims the glory wo havo
achieved, and tho wild delight of
what there is to be, makes us forget
the gigantic strides already made.
How the uses of invention havo
simpliled labor. How antis ,pticism
and sanitation have lcssoncd tho
death ratio. How tho mysterious
fluids first drawn from tho over
hanging clouds, has given the swift
speech and far distant hearing Of tho
gods. How short now seems tho
distance round the globe, lessening
every day, till the unfolding years
give to us tho sense to wing our
way through ether, and rival in
passage, tho swift flight of birds
Yet wo are standing on the very
threshold of the temple of human
Possibilities, the door of which will
open only to the pressure Of an
earnest loving hand. We arc only

NOT LIKE OTHER STATES,
Texas Has Paid Allegiance to the Fiags
of Six Nations.

of SIX Nations.
Scarcely another state in the union
has as remarkable and interesting a
history as Texas. In one respect at
least it occupies a unique position in
the history of American states. Since
its discovery six different governments
have at different times claimed allie
glance. and as many different flags
have waved over it. those of
France, Spain, Mexico, independent
Texas, the United States and the Con-
tederate states. The foundations
of Texas statehood were not laid
as British colony, nor under
the grant or control OF the British
crown. as were those of the original
thirteen states. Its first settlement
dates back more than 200 years. and
Its first American colonists went there
under terms and conditions imposed by
foreign state to whose language,
laws and institutions they were total
strangers. There never was, there
never could be. any sympathy between
these first American colonists and the
Mexican government under the old
regime. separated Dy vast Wlluer-
nesses from the people of the United
States, and unaided save by the in
dividual efforts of sympathizing
brethren therein, those colonists de-
clared their independence, established
1t with the sword, and for nine years
maintained stable republic. Texas
was neither purchased nor conquered
for the union. Annexation to the
United States was accomplished
through treaty made by Texas repre-
| sentatives and ratified by the free
suffrage of the citizens No other state
in the union has had such varied ex-
periences or sailed through such
stormy seas into the haven of peace
and prosperity.-St. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat.

STORE THE FLOODS.

The Importance of irrigation for
the arid lands of the West is daily
dawning upon eastern minds, and
it will not be long before the ques-
tion is SO generally understood and
the benefits go universally compre-
hended that it will not be difficult
to secure appropriations from con-
gress for the construction of stor-
age reservoirs throughout the West
The following is quoted from re-
cent report made to congress by
memb Der of United States sur
veying corps, and shows how the
subject appeals to one who has
made study of irrigation:
Reservoir construction in the
arid region of the West is an in
dispensable condition to the high
est development of that section.
1t can properly be carried out only
through public agencies. Private
enterprise can never accomplish
the work success fully. AS between
state and nation, it falls more
properly under the domain of the
latter.
"Of the very great Importance
of irrigation, not only to the West
but to the country at large, there
would seem to be no room for
doubt
ITO one who has seen the
changes wrought in the once desert
regions of California, Arizona,
Utah, Wyoming and Colorado, in
what used to be as forbidding re-
gions as any still remaining in
that country, there can be no doubt
that the destiny of the arid section
OF America is more dependent up
on the water that flows from its
mountains than upon the minerals
that lie concealed within them.
Already in the gr, atest mineral
producing states in the West, Cal
ifornia and Colorado, irrigated ag-
riculture yields greater wealth of
product than the mines. 1t is easy
to point out many valleys in the
arid regions the future develop
ment of which, under irrigation,
will sustain in each a population
greater than that at present is tc
be found in the states where they
are located"

THE COLLAPSE AT kARNAk
Great Temple of Rameses After the
Fall of the Columns

Great Temple of Rnmeses After the
Fall of the Columns
1t is just about year ago that atten-
ton was directed to the splendid sue
cess that was attending the efforts of
the Egyptian government to restore
the great temple of Karnak, at Luxon
to somewhat of its ancient glory. rne
department of antiquities was engaged
all the year on digging out and
strengthening the enormous columns
of the great hypostyle hall. All was
going on well and the sublime pro-
portions of the great hall were being
made clear. when recently one of the
great columns. which are about sew
enty-one feet high, and weigh many
tons, fell over against another in such
way as to overthrow ten other col
umns, all piling up against each other
like fallen bricks in a row. At the
same time the great stone architraves
fell down, released from all support,
and the ruin was so lamentable that
those who were carrying on the work
were clean disheartened. A survey
has now taken place. and 1t is calcu-
iatcd ehtt TIC iuisSuicl SaA pC iCiuC-
died in part. and the temple saved
from the worst, at cost of 100000.
Just what caused the disaster is not
known. A slight earthquake is sup
posed to be the cause by some, but
others suggest that the Nile has under
mined the bank on which the temple
stands. and so disturbed the stability
of the great mass. Seismic shocks are
not uncommon in the Nile valley. and
in the nearby regions, the Temple of
Ammon being destroyed by one great
shock so that 1t is not unlikely the
column was so overthrown. Still. the
Nj e is near and its water may easily
penetrate the loose. sandy soil and SO
make things most unstable. That the
archaeol SITS VIII be allowed to save
the temple is the hope of all those who
have visited these justly famous ruins
The Florence daily tribune., 1900-12-17

WHEN congress is good it is very
good, and it has been very good,
indeed, since this session opened.
There has not been the slightest
wrangle on the floor of either the
senate or house. although the lat
ter debated and passed the admin
istration army reorganization bill,
providing for a regular army of
from $4,000 to 100 600 men, in the
presidents discretion, which, un-
der ordinary circumstances, might
have been expected to have arous
cd the minority. Doubtless the
failure of the minority caucus to
agree upon a party policy had
something to do with the calmness
of the debate.
