SOME MEMBERS OF THE
VIRGINIA CONVENTION.

Ex-Speaker Charles f Crisp of the
National House, were he alive, could
look into the Constitutional Conven-
ton and find one grizzled warrior
with whom his fortunes were CLOSELY
associated. in the four-year conflict
between the States. 1t is his old
commander in Company K, Tenth
Virginia Infantry, gentleman of
large stature and serious, almost sad,
cast of countensnce, whose place is in
the front row of seats, beside Mai. w.
A. Anderson of RockbrIdge. Capt.
X. ). Parks, of Lursy, now delegate
from Page and Rappahsnnock, the
latter being his native county, enlist
ed the slender lad, who was destined
then to preside over the House of
Representatives for four years, way
back in 1861. Mr.. Crisp came to
Luray at that time with his father
and brother, all being theatrical PEG
pie. The brother enlisted In another
company of the same regiment, raised
In Shenandoah county, and the ia
Their enlisted in the artillery, where
be was made lieutenant. Captain
Parks tells of the studious habits of
young Crisp, who always carried II
book in his knapssck, aud was much
given to reading in his spare mo-
ments. The company was engaged
In the terrible fight of the Bloody
Angle in the Wilderness, when Crisp.

was captured.
Captain Parks, who is Que of the
most striking figures IN the Conyrn
ton, had brilliant wal record. ser,
ing from April, 1861, to the close of
the war. la his younger DAYS he had
studied law under the old plan, with
out attending professional school.
aud received his license to practice
ON Christmas Day, 1860. Following
his martial career, he returned to his
profession, which he has practiced
ever since. The people in Luray aud
whereabouts have Il very high regard
for Captain Parks, For something
like 20 years they have kept electing
him Common wealth's Attorney. and
that position he still holds, as well as
membership in the House of Dele
gates. He is now in his third term
of the latter Office, and has originated
much legislation that became notable
in the State, including the employees
liability bill, theme of abundant
discussion in the current gubernato
rial campaign; the bond bill, amend
atOry of the statute taxing bonds,
which was declared unconstitu tional
OH account of technical error on
the part of the Legislature. More
than that, Captain Parks holds all
three offices, none of which he solic-
tied from his constituents, record
such as few delegates can boast in
the Constitutional Convention.

money 1t has removed the official
stumbling blocks and now has 8
grasp on the vital parts of the gov
eminent, which revolutionists and
anarchists can hardly hope to gain in
France with all their array of fighting
forces. II is no longer q question as
to how long it will be before the
trusts get control of the government.
1t is question as to how long they
will maintain control and what the re-
suit of their ever widening power
will be. A billion dollar trust now
battles with labor and says: "You
shall not organize to protect yourself
against me. You do as say"
France is more fortunate than
America in the adherence of its high
est officials to republican principles.
France has been the abode of anar-
chism and monarchism for ages, but
has thrown off the yoke, and the sin
certify of it's republicanism will pro-
tect it against the revolution which
now threatens. But in America there
is no protection from the trust. Here
it is protection of the trust. France
and America compare like the apple
rotten on the exterior but sound
within. and the apple rotten at the
core but ripe and blushing without.
The blemish of-the former may be
removed and the fruit preserved, but
the latter's entire decay is inevitable.
When the American trust is forced to
abdicate the throne the contamination
may be removed and this republic
made the fairest and the soundest the
world has ever known, but not till the
throne of trusts totters and falls can
the republic rise.

THE ENEMIES OF THE REPUBLIC.

Monarchists and anarchists threaten
to overthrow the republic of France,
but these evils, the St. Louis Republic
forcibly suggests, form not nearly so
formidable an antagonist TO the
French republic as the trust to the
United States of America. Anarchism
and monarchism rise as enemies to
the administration in France. They
face the republic there as enemies.
They compare their strength with
that Of the administration and say
that it is merely a matter of time I'M
til they will usurp control and crown
Louis Napoleon emperor of France.
To handle such an enemy is COM
paratiyely easy task, for it is simply
q question of power. The rottenness
is without and not within the core of
the republic. Here in America the
situation is different. The rottenness
is at the core. No bold antag-
onist threatens to face the
forces of the United States
of America on the open and
fight free and open fight for control.
but q subtle enemy-the trust-lurks
in the very corridors of the admins
tration. BY stealth the trust has be-
come gradually more powerful. The
people have elected officials to guard
closely the sacred apartments where
liberty makes her abode. but conf
dence was misplaced, and in those
very apartments where liberty and
public veal were to have been so
closely guarded the subtle trust has
crept. The trust, appearing in the
mask of honor has presented itself as
protector of peoples rights. With

CATCH THEM FIRST. HITCH.

Lord Kitchener proclaimed Danish
ment for all Beers who do not submit
by Sept. Is. He will have to catch
them before he can exile them. While
the aim of the proclamation may be
in one sense a good one, it is not
likely, however, to accomplish its
purpose. Punishment has no terrors
for men who have staked and lost
their all in a desperate effort for lib
erty. nor can the threat to make
the charge for the maintenance of
their families in the reconcentrado
camps lien on their estates alright
the burghers, since the value of their
farms has already been reduced to a
minus quantity. Gen. Kitchener has
cooped the women and children of
the burghers in camp, where, it is
said. they are dying of disease. He
has burned their homes and driven off
their horses and cattle, lelving only
the naked. worthless veldt. They
have no hope, only their hope of
gaining their independence. Danish
them from what? They have shown
that they do not even care for life un-
less they have freedom. Unless they
have freedom they have no country
to be banished from.
