denied the sight of his two little chill
dren, James Kennedy, a laborer, yes
terday murdered his wife and killed
himself. The couple was married

by the mother. This enraged Kennedy
and, pulling a revolver, he fired three
shots into his wife, killing her. He
then turned the revolver en- himself,
and when found a few minutes later

BOSTON VARIETY STORE,
Chile vs.. Argentinai

1t looks like war between Chile and
the Argentine Republic The fact is, how
ever, that it has looked that way for
several years past. Chile seems to be
spelling for afght Ever since her victory
over Peru she has nursed the idea that
she is the warmest baby in the whole
South American bunch, and that to
touch her is to introduce into your
system about 5000 volts OF the real
homicidal thing. She ruthessly de-
spoiled Peru as the result OF her successful
war, and though Peru claims thatsolemn
treaties and agreements were thereby
violated. Chile refuses to submit her case
to arbitration. The overthrow OF the
Balmaceda government nine or ten years
ago brought into power a very deter
mined and aggressive party. Chiles
military strength has been steadily and
carefully increased. Her army is com
pact, well deciplined, armed, and
equipped. Her navy is the most eff
cient south OF the Rio Grande. And
when we consider that, in addition to
all this, Chile is dragging her coat tail
on the ground, scowling ateyery passer,
and generally bursting about like some
red.hot little Dugald Dalgetty with
hand upon bis sword, it must be admit
ted that the outlook for trouble is en-
couraoinQ Q-Washington Post.

1896 Mr.. Bryan has been precisely what
that party made him. Desirable as 1t ls
Tor the Democracy TO cut loose from the
mistakes OF the Chicago platform and to
dissolve it's alliance with Populism evil

Unfair treatment Of the twice-chosen
leader will not tend to that consumma-

courage and candor enough TO place
blame for defeats, il blame there be,

ment toward Mr.. Bryan, who has faith

Governor of this great Commonwealth.
Be more than figure head, Mr. Mon

all the people of the State. An army Of
other suggestions come rushing in upon

The people Of Virginia are rich in the
good order of society, in religious. educa-

conditions. in abundant and pure water
supply, in a generous SOIL, IN freedom
from destructive storms, but they are
not rich in public highways, nor in that
utility and ornamentation which come
from judicious planting OF trees. 1t will
be in your power, while in command to
aid in making them so. Give prominence
to these things in your inaugural address,
press them to the front, in your messages,
and in season and out of season, use
your personal and official strength in
making them popular and potential.
Condensed light is strong light, and con-
centrated effort is mighty effort. Lift the
burden OF bad roads from the shoulders
of your fellow Virginians, encourage
them to repair the injuries which have
been inflicted by reckless cutting Of trees
