FOR WHAT WAR 2
Lynchburg News.

The report comes from Martinique that
the French government is sending i'm
mense quantities of war material 10 that
island and accommodating there large sup
ply of coal and sending thither consider
able detachment of soldiers and an active
corps of signal officers trained for war pur-
poses. All this indicates that if France
does not expect war she is at least making
preparations to be ready for 1t. The ques-
ton naturally arises, what reason exists to
apprehend war and with what power ? The
proximity of Martinique to Porto Rico
and Cuba may indicate the answer to the
latter question. If France looks for war
at all in this hemisphere it must be with
the United States. At present there is no
question in dispute between the two gov
ernments that may lead to war, but it is
possible that the French are looking to
future contingencies. 1t is known that
most of the socalled Cuban bonds are
held in France. Cuba repudiates these
bonds, which are really Spanish bonds.
though the mother country pledged Cuban
revenues for their payment. The French
bondholders will probably appeal to their
government to espouse their cause and
press for tue payment of the bonds by
Cuba. The United States can not permit
Cuba to be coerced by French army and
navy and if that be attempted it will GER
taialy result in war between France and
the United States. 1t is possible that the
French government is looking to this con-
tingency and preparing for it by strength
ening her Notifications at Martinique and
accommodating war supplies in proximity to
the scene of the future trouble. 1t may
turn out that we are yet far from the end
of the business which was begun by inter-
vening in Cuban AFFAIR.".

NwAsHlNeTON's BIRTHDAY.

1t all happened some one hundred and
sixty.nine years ago, but the years simply
add to the luster of the occasion, when
Virginia family was blessed with fine boy
on February %, 1882, and the future
father of his country opened his eyes in
the comfortable room of an American
farmhouse The day we celebrate takes
on new aspect today, however, since
there is a certain effort being made to
quote the past against tie present, to
throw Washington at the head of those
who conduct affairs today. The effort de-
feats itself, for just as there is nothing
more sure than that Washington was viii
fed in his own day as few Presidents since,
it is equally certain were Washington alive
today he would not join the vilifers of
national advance, the obstructers of ma
tional development
Westinghouse ideas of national life we're
broad and in no sense sectional or provln-
cial Far from viewing the bounds of the
thirteen original States as fixing the limits
Of national growth he was in favor of ter
ritorial acquisition and expansion, and if
we did not acquire any of Great Brltalns
West Indian possessions after the Revolu-
ton it was not because Washington would
have felt they could not become part and
parcel of American territory. Not only
was Washington a consistent expansionist,
but he was a firm believer in a firm gov
eminent. lie had seen enough of efforts
at governments and favored stability and
such concentration as made the full exer-
else of all necessary functions possible.
One sentiment of bis might we'll be tax
en- as contribution to our national policy
in Porto Rico, the Philippines and in
Cuba. Influence is not government"
said the first President, and in that he up
sets the anti.imperialistic policies as GER
tainly as if he were alive to point out their
absurdties. What the ants would have
us do in Porto Rico, and more especially
in the Philippines, would be to set up an
"inhuence" and let things work them
selves out, or else scuttle. In Cuba they
would vary the monotony though even in
the case of this island they shy at the
United States insisting on the establish
ment of government that will not go to
pieces and would have us here also trust
TO chance and to fantasmal ''infuence.
The fact is that today the nation, in its
centralized strength as one of the great
Powers of the world, realizes Washington's
dream more nearly than that of any man
of bis time. And the celebration of his
birthday in the first year of the twentieth
century need not awaken any misglvings
as to our alleged departures from the
methods of the fathers, or from the princi-
pies of the greatest American of them all.
The whole trend of Washington's life and
thought absolutely precludes the idea that
he would range himself against the newt.
able policy of national growth and expan'
sion, while his moderation and balance
would keep him far aloOf from the hyster-
cal, whose sole enjoyment of life comes
from opposing constructive statesman
ship.

The Color Line In Congress.

1t strikes us as hardly fair to expect Of
the Republicans that they should choose a
colored man as one of their Representa-
tlves in Congress from the North. They
have no Congressional district here in
which the colored people are more than a
small minority, and, until this condition
of affairs is changed. white men are lite
natural and appropriate representatives,
unless there shall appear those of darker
skin who greatly transcend white men in
talent. Congressman should not be chosen
on grounds of sentiment. Mr. White,
however, the present colored member of
the House from North Carolina, has,
doubtless, a large colored constituency,
and he appears to have ably represented
it. We are disposed to regret that he was
not reelected and to deprecate any change
in the Southern situation that forbils the
entrance. of men like himself 10 Congress.

A NEW KINGS PLIGHT.
The Son OF Garibaldi Says Victor EN-
manuel III. Is in a Peculiar
Position.

Ricciotti Garibaldi, who fought at
the side of his father, the great Gen.
Garibaldi, in the struggle for the lib
Grafton of Italy and in the Franco
German war, publishes an article in
the North American Review, in which
he explains the relative positions and
aims of the monarchical and republican
parties in Italy. The situation of the
monarchy in Italy, according to Sig.
Garibaldi's statement, must be per
picking one, for the king cannot make
friends of his enemies without making
enemies of his friends. He says:
IF Victor Emmanuel III. remembers
that, if he wears the iron crown, it is
mainly owing to the popular elements
for history has revealed that the
Piedmontese school of diplomats, with
Cavour at their head, looked upon the
struggle for the liberation and unity
of Italy, rather as means of aggran-
dizing the Piedmontese monarchy than
as a realization of high ideal, the re-
construction of great nationality, OF
which, in fact, they were rather afraid
and if he exercises the strength Of
will he is said to possess to free his
crown from the state of bondage in
which it was under Humbert, and make
it take its true position of mediator be-
tween the different political schools,
using his influence and royal preroga
tives in favor of those classes that most
need comfort and guidance, the mon
archy in Italy may yet have a long lease
of life, for patriotism is a strong quail
ity in the Italian heart, and he would
find sincere, if unexpected, support
from sources now hostile to
him and his crown. But, naturally, his
bitterest enemies will then be those
who have hitherto used the crown as
an instrument to further their own
ends, and who, looking upon his child
less condition as a danger to the mon
archy, do not hide the possibility of his
being replaced by some other member
of his family. And it would be curious
thing if the anti-monarchists should
one day be obliged to defend the crown,
acting on the principal that "a devil
you know is always better than one you
don't knovyi ~

Danger of Colds And La Grippe.

The greatest danger from colds and la

danger will be avoided. Among the tens
of thousands who have used this remedy
for these diseases we have yet TO learn of
a single case having resulted in pneumo-

never to sign a petition to Congress, and
that in this case it would be indicate, al

Washington Post.
At the suggestion of the President, an
examination has been made by Senate
officials into the precedents Of Cabinet
nominations when President enters up
on his second term.
When Washington was reelected, he
did not deem it necessary to again submit
the names of his Cabinet TO the Senate,
nor did Jefferson, when, in 1895, he began
his second term. On December 20, 1905,
jefferson nominated John Breckenridge
for Attorney General, but this WAS to fill
vacancy which bad occurred during the
recess. Between the administration of
Jefferson and Lincoln, the Presidents who
served two terms were Madison, Monroe
and jackson, neither of whom renomi.

President
Lincoln did not renominate his Cabinet,
but on March 6, 1865, simply named
Hugh Mccullough to the Secretary of the
Treasury in place of William P. FesGenden,
resigned. President Grant was the first
President to resubmit the entire list Of his
Cabinet to the Senate at the beginning of
his second term. He presented seven
names, commencing with Hamilton Fish,
as Secretary of State, and including Will

to the Senate, however, until March II,
1873, and the fact that the Cabinet Off

that they might remain four years.
President Mckinley, therefore, will be
acting according to precedent if he sub

there ever was such contract framed or
devised or conceived in any civilized or
Christian community. No court would
attempt to enforce it. 1t is against the
public good and utterly null and void. No
freeman in this Commonwealth nor any
other free country can be permitted, even
if he desired to do so, to barter away his
liberty and make himself a mere chattel.
And that is what this contract attempts TO
do"
When Congress was considering the re-
construction question, in the period be-
tween 1865 and 1870, the chief reason adj
vanced for comforting universal suffrage
was that it was the only way by which the
black man could save himself from being
returned again to a condition OF virtual
slavery. What were known as the "black
Codes" passed by Southern Legislatures,
re enforced this view of toe situation, and
ex Secretary OF the Navy Herbert of Ala
bama in recent magazine article on the
reconstruction period admits that more
gradual method of comforting suffrage on
the ex-slaves would have been adopted
had it not been for the indignation these
codes aroused. The condition of things in
South Carolina proves that the fears of
the North in 1865 we're correct. The sur
frage conferred by the nation on the black
man has been taken away in that State
and he is being reduced to a condition not
only of slavery, but to condition worse
than slavery.
1t is thrty.fve years since the black
man was given his freedom. 1t is thirty
years since he was given the ballot. And
yet today he stands deprived of his politi-
cal rights in the South, the methods by
which this has been done are boldly flaunt-
ed on the floor Of the United States Senate
and it is possible for him to be reduced to
state of peonage worse than that from
which he was released as the-result of a
bloody war. 1t is time that tie nation I'M
derstood the situation and ended the in
different policy IN this matter into which
it has been drifting for thirty years.
