EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Lord Salisbury's job isn't an easy
one in these days, with an old var,
new king and the control OF the United
States Senate on his hands
Mr.. Mckinley got we'll just in time
to hand out to the faithful with Hanns's
o. X. the commission pie made by the
army reorganization act.
The tobacco men succeeded in get.
ting cut of $1O,OOO,000 on the wa,
taxes from the Senate Finance Com
mittee, but the beer tax is left as liked
by the House bill.
Superstitious Cubans are not blame
able for considering the island hoodoo-
ed, In addition to the vfitatlon OF
American thieves, they are suffering
from a record-brsaking cold wave.

There are now nearly 11,000,O OO
Catholics, about one-seventh of our
population, in the United States, and
nearly 10000 priests, according to the
Catholic Directory, just Issued in New
York.
Slowly but surely the railroads OF
the country are travelling toward one
mammoth trust, Every big deal, like
those recently put through by PIER
p,nt Morgan in the East and Hill in
tho West, brings the big trust nearer.

The scandal attending the discovery
that the governments annual lottery
the "dead letter" auction sale, at Wash
ington-has been manipulated in the
interest OF a ring of crooked clerks has
resulted in the dismissal OF some
clerks, and should result in the abolish.
ment OF the lottery.

The Chinese Minister'S suggestion
that race intermarrlage would be the
best solution of the negro problem in
this country indicates that he must
have been reading some of the utter
ances OF the late Fred Douglass on the
subject. Miscegnation is illegal in
most OF our Suites and ought to be in
all Of them.

MEASURES, NOT MEN.

The Charlottesville Chronicle, in the
following article, sounds note of warn
lag to those in our State who are dis
posed to prefer men to measures:
The unmistakable danger threatening
tie Democratic party in Virginia TO-
day is serious and permanent division
in its ranks.
Removed from the fear OF Republican
rule, we have begun to make bitter war
fares OF our State contests. Men are
getting to be known by the names O.
their leaders, and destructive antag-
onisms are following in the wake OF
each political victory. We have begun
to quarrel among ourselves, and to
breed serious, lasting feuds. II this con-
tinues it will mean party disintegration.
Ifbitterness must charaoterize con-
test it should cease when that contest
ends. "Unf nished business in the way
of political grudges, is exceedingly
dangerous to party organization.
While we believe In sincere loyalty
to chosen political leaders, we believe
in greater loyalty to chosen political
principles. And when it comes to the
downfall of the one or the other, let
the leaders go down by the score.
No man is, or ever should be greater
than his party, and certainly he should
never sndanger that party.
Hsnceforth let Virginia set party
principles high above any man or set OF
men.

READ THE PROOFS

United States Official Report Made to
Commissioner Of the United States, General
Land Office, Washington. ID. G by geolo-
gist and mining expert Of worldwide reputa-
ton, Professor Benjamin Silliman, who
spent several months there, then being con
nected with the United States Surveying
Corps, and in his official report says:
"Herc are countless millions of tons of
rich gol1 quartz reduced by The great forces
OF nature TO a condition ready for the appli-
cation Of the hydraulic process, while the
entire bed OF the Rio Grandt for over 40
miles is sluice, on the bars OF which the
gold derived from the wearing away Of the
gravel banks has been accommodating fol-
countless ages, and now lies ready for ex-
traction by the most approved methods OF
river mining. The thickness OF the Rio
Grande gold gravel exceed In many places
900 feet or nearly three times that Of the
like beds In California, while the average
value per cubic yard is believed to be gre lter
in the New Mexico beds than in any other
such accumulations yet discovered.
Il have made reconnaissance of the whole
Of this gravel along the Rio Grande, and
have examined with all the care possible in
the time at my command the character Of
the gravel and its contents of gold. Moth
ing | am persuaded, since the discovery of
California and Australia, is comparable for
its measurable resources Of gold available
bv the hydraulic process to the deep placers
of the Rio Grande."

FIR. E. LEE.
Dedicated to Capt. Ship, Of the V M I,
Lexington Va.
From the Winchester Evening Star Of
January 25tb, 1901.

True nobility is not vested in tie
empty title, but in the respondent
lustre of life nobly spent. AS l gazs
upon the features of this grandest OF
virginia's grandees, my mind roams,
seeking the double of this sublime
character, but in vain. 1 have kneli
at the tomb of the great Napoleon. l
have stood within the shrine OF the
Pharaohs. have witnessed grandeur
and holiness among the living and
dead, but without that profound feel
ing pervading every nerve and sinew;
that strange but unmistakable fear, L
would call it, stealing over man when
standing in the presence Of such dead
as Robert e. Lee. He seems not dead,
but rather silently watching the mag
niGcent results of his glorious labors.
The aged mother, the sire, the maiden,
the youth, all bow here in tears, with
swelling helrts. murmuring blessings
upon him who reposes here and as a
soldier salute him, the chiefest OF the
chief:
Bow low We nations in the presence of
this Dead
"Excelsior!" On sacred grounds ye
tread!
Here sleeps the Lee: "Our Lee"-of
worldwide fame:
No Northern hiss can faint his spotless
name:
His history is ours, his glory we all
share,
The "Stars and Bars" hallowed by him
Still fly the Southern air.
That is Lees sword! The sword of r. e.
Salute il, kingl Thou, emperor, bow
thy knsel
Meier, shall it quit our Southern soil:
To us it sacred is,
Uns!ained, save by a veterans tear, or
by virgins kiss.
That sword is ours It's glory we all
share,
Ten thousand men would die for it,
I en- thousand nations dare.
Those gauntlets and those spurs were
bis
Na-l Touch them not, thou knave!
Thy hordes invaded our soil, turned on
us our slave,
To drive lis from the victor's field, to
shield our threatened danes,
Our daughters and our firesides from
negro fiends and flames.
Those gauntlets and those spurs were
worn by Southern cavalier,
Who never stopped to dastardy, to in
a victory!
Immortal Lee, lack down upon thy
children bowling low,
Nay! not in shame, not conquered, to n
triumphant foe,
But in allegiance to that cause, halloW ed
by thy great name,
Hallowed by tattered battlefags, hun
dred thousands fame.
Immortal Lee-immortal cause To
thee weep tear
Wave high Wave high the Stars and
Bars-unconquered DER his bier !

eager, and thrilling, trimming with
vagaries OF jostling dreams, that heart

AFine Vehicle.

There is no person in this city who
has occasion to better appreciate a
good buggy than DR.. E. J. Lewis.
His extensive country practice calls
him for long and short drives under
every conceivable condition of
weather and roads. Last fall he made
up his mind that he needed a buggy
= and wanted as good one as could be
made. He accordingly turned J. G..
Lovaas loose upon the work, with in
structions of the most specific and yet
most general sort. 1t was the results
he wanted-the way of arriving at
them were for Mr.. Lovaas to devise
and execute. The buggy is complete,
has been given a good trial over the
worst possible roads, as we'll as over
good ones, and the doctor says of it:
81 have the best, easiest, strongest
and most durable buggy in this town."
1t is the Concord pattern, hand made
and not a spot or place in it has been
'.slighted. 1t is beautiful buggy and
reflects great credit upon Mr.. Lovaas.
BY the way, Mr.. Lovaas has a half
dozen more in process of manufacture.
II you want good buggy go and see
them.
