WEDNESDAY EVENING, DEC. Ii, 1901
wrru THE death of Judge Hughes,

WITH THE death of Judge Hughes,
which occurred at AbiBgdon yesterday,
the last of trio of famous Virginia
journalists has passed into the spirit
world. In ante bellum days a trium'
yIrate Of able writers, composed OF the
deceased and John M. Daniel and Pat
rick Henry Aylett, made the old Kich-
mond Examiner one OF the ablest and
most readable papers published south
of Mason and Dlxon's line. lts in-
fiuence was unbounded and the utter
ances OF these gentlemen. each OF whom
possessed o vigorous mind and pro-
penslty for ready writing, were read
throuphou all Dixie land. They were
at the front when the times tried mems
souls. when the blood Of both sections
was at fever heat and at a critical
period of the country's history, when
editorial expressions we're not always
regarded In Pickwickian sense. This
trio, fearless and outspoken, played
their parts, and were probably as in
s.rumental 10 bringing States rights to
the test OF the sword as any others
in the South, and throughout the four
yesrs' war the Examiner was read with
ayidity by all who could obtain it, and
soldiers In the Confederate army liter
ally passed 1t down the line as one
after another imagined they must read
1t even If they missed their breakfast.
The Judge was one Of the last of the
old-time Virginia editors. His death
brings to mind many Interesting
"reminiscences Of the ups and downs OF
old Virginia. Tempora mutantur, etc.,
is true observation, but the standard
of the newspaper of the olden
time, so we'll remembered by many
now In the sere and yellow leaf, brings
to mind "reminiscences of by-goDe days
when galAxies like the above wrote
with spirit and when the yellow journal
was unknown and the newspaper bad
a character which was never besmirch-
ed with Bllllngsgste nor groundless
sensationism.

ONT first business day OF Congress
about one hundred bills were introduced
that carried appropriations OF o more
or less greedy nature. This was merely
the beginning. Comparatively few o
the members got in their work. and
yet the aggregate amount demanded
by these few is $4,000, 900. The esti.
mated surplus for the fiscal year end
Jog June 80, 1902. is 800, 100000. This
little rush Of bills would take care Of
about one-third of that enormous sur
plus. AS Is we'll said by the New York

REPRESENTATIVE WACHTBR, of Mary
land, thinks of introducing q joint reso-
luton prohibiting in future the annual
foot ball game between the cadets Of
West Point and those of Annapolis. He
characterizss football as more brutal
than prize fighting and more dangerous
to life and limb. And the game as now
played is just as Mr.. Wschter describes
1t, and for this very reason has 1t be-
come so popular that men and women
travel miles and pay entrance fees to
see the encounters" just as they did
in the days Of Rome to see the glsdia-
tors. During the season just closed
over one hundred young men were
killed In "playing" at foot ball, while
the number Of injured ran up into the
thousands. But the tendency OF the
age Is toward excess, and now nothing
10 moderation satisfies the masses
OF the people.
