Mr.. Hay as a Leader.

The Richmond News SAYS: All
Virginisus have pride aud pleasure in
the position which Representative
Hay, of this State, has taken in the
House aud in the prospect that be
will be made the official leader and
mouthpiece of the Democratic minor
ity. There appears to be good reason
for the movement TO retire Mr.. Rich
ardsou, of Tennessee, from the lead
ership. When he was chosen the
Richmond News urged that he was
the wrong mana good parliamenta-
riau but lacking the qualities for &C
tive work on the floor. There is yet
stronger reason why Mr.. Hay should
succeed him-reasons which have
drawn to the Virginian the attention
of his fellow members of his own
party.
Virginia has in times past led the
thought and shape the policies OF tn,
country. 1t is like those older times
to see Virginian again Chosen to
lead and represent aud speak for II
great party. The people of the State
will unite IN the hope that Mr.. HAY
will be made the Democratic leader
and will do his State and himself So
much honor that in happier times to
come he may rise yet higher. The
minority leadership is not only II
strong stepping stone but carries
with it much power in directing par
ty movements, not in the House alone.
but IN the country at large. If Mr..
HAY will illustrate the depth aud
breadth and heights of thought and
purpose according with the best ira
ditions of old Virginia there need be
no limit to his aspirations. The couu-
try needs old Virginia thought and
craftsmanship and patriotism in it,
highest places and is ready to recog
nize aud reward them.

A dispatch from Winchester says
serious legal tangle was happily
adjusted there by the marriage Of E.
Clarence Cline, of Stephens City, to
Miss Victoria Grim, of Baltimore
Cline, who is the son of the missing
Dunkard minister, was arrested
about Xmas upon an ugly charge
preferred by Miss Grim who was
then a resident of Stephens City.
He was held for the Grand Jury Oh
$40 bail. AS that body was about
to take up the case Miss Grim came
from Baltimore. and friends effected
"a reconciliation between the couple
and the girl decided not to prosecute
and al offer of marriage was made
and accepted, which was performed
in Commonwealth Attorney Byrd s
Office. This marriage brought to
light the cause of the disappearance
of Cline's father. Rev. Mr.. Cline
went on his sons bond and gave oath
that there was no encum berance on
his property. 1t developed that the
property was in Cline's wife's name
and was mortgaged for the purchas-
ing price. Fear Of criminal prose
cution on the charge of perjury, the
minister disappeared and hasen't re
turned. although his whereabouts
are said to be in Rockingham and

An important and permanent step
in the direction of Imperialism was
taken last Saturday when President
Mckinley signed the army reorgani-
cation bill and made it a law. The
bill increases permanently the Unit
ed States army from $4,000 to 100,
900 enlisted men. Before the war
with Spain, and before our country
was mixed up with the Philippines,
$4,000 men were amply sufficient for
all military purposes-sufficlent to
carry on the wars with the Indians,
garrison our forts and subserve all
necessary purposes. The flag was
then just as much respected at home
and abroad TT is now or ever will be.

According to present indications,
Congress is preparing to obviate the
necessity of an extra session by adopt
ing resolution authorizing the Pres
ident to withdraw the United States
army from Cuba and turn the island
over to its own people, as soon as GER
tain conditions are inserted in the
new constitution of the island. These
conditions include grants of naval
stations and formal consent to SUB
init the exercise of the debt raising

up their minds that they can do by
indirection what they cannot 10 by

amend the Cuban constitution but
they insist that they can compel the

people" Under this resolution, il is
difficult for any honest man to see
what either Congress or the Presi.
dent has TO do with the matter.
further than to make sure that

about. The position of the Demo
Gratis in Congress, therefore, is that
