SOLDIERS AND ATHL ETES.

Sandow, the great example OF what
physical training Will do for a
small and delicate child, is now publish
Inc. a magazine. in which he says that
you can develop any boy or girl almost
any way you please and can overcome
any inherited taint-moral, mental or
physically the proper training. But you
cannot do it in a day or week or a
month .'As the twig is bent so is the
tree inclined. hut the process of bending
must be very gentle, very firm and oft
repeated. You cannot mako of weak
ling an athlete in month"; or of a Lon
don cab-driver soldier i'll two months.
This was thoroughly demonstrated Ivy the
war between the Beers and the British.
l'he Bocrs We're physically fit and with
put discipline; the British were disciplined
but physically unfit They had no
idea, however, of their inability to cope
with the situation until they tried it. and
now Mr.. kipling is making himself most
obnoxious and at the same time doing
much TO prevent any such recurrence oil
misfort,,nes for the British by hammer
ing home the fact that they have got to
teach their men how TO ride and shoot
and talse care OF themselves in the
country if they wish TO be real soldiers.
Soldering is not all uniforms and tao
tics. and athletic ability does not con-
sist in being able to juggie Indian clubs.
The real soldier and the real athlete IS
a man whose mind and body work in
unison, whose judgment is sound because
his physique is good. and whose physique
is good because his Judgment IS good
enough TO make him take good care OF
himself. The British can certainly de-
vciop good soldiers. Tor they have de-
velopcd good athletes: but in order TO de
70 they must give that same earnest and
painstaking thought TO their military
that they have given to their outdoor
sports.
Richmond is not large enough as yet
TO suffer from the terrible crowding OF
such cities as London and New York,
and it is therefore still possible for every
pnc in Richmond to take walks in the
open air with a gun and dog. and every
hoy can learn TO swim, as we'll as shoot;
but We hope to see the day when there
will be in addition to the parks in Rich
mond open-air Gymnasums, SO that every
one may lay up for himself a good store
OF health and strength to resist disease,
both of body and mind.

Trust Company for Farmers.

1t has been announced in New York
that a trust company is organizing whose
purpose is to lend to farmers on ware
house receipts. The scheme seems to be.
an intelligent business development of the
crude idea that was put forth many years
ago of a '.sub-treasury' plan by which the
government was to establish agencies
where farmers might deposit their pro-
duce and borrow government money on
it so as to keep out of the hands or
money sharks and goldbugs That at.
tempted political movement and the pres.
ent business project had their origin IN
the high interest that farmers are often
forced to pay for money during the sea-
son of growing, harvesting and marketing
their crops. It is a fact that IN many
Instances farmers and producers OF raw:
material In certain parts of the country
have to pay so exorbitanty7 for money
thus borrowed as to be forced land this.
is particularly true with cottonl to rush.

a disadvantage in order, to liquidate their
loans. Rates on this class of loans from
s to u per cent. are as common as the
< and 6 per cent rate on ordinary loans.
The volume of business done on this in
f,ated basis in the South and West is
said to be great. Frequently banks i'll
those sections borrow money in New
York at IL and 4 per cent. and lend it
at 10 and II. This new trust company
rroposes to lend the money directly to
borrowers at the prevailing New York
rate. and when its own resources will not
admit of this to become a means for
negotiating paper, Warehousing compa-S

VIRGINIA TOPICS.
German Not the Man,

We are surprised that many Democrats
are looking to Senator German, of Mary
land, to lead the Democratic party to
success in 1904 He might, though we,
doubt it, get q few more votes than
Bryan got the last time, but no mere
shrewd politician like German can lead
the party to victory. Even those with
whom he apparently stands on public
questions dstrust him. We say "ap-
parently," for we doubt if any man can
say just what his position is on the lead
ing auctions of the day. We feel sure.
this is the case as to financial questions
on which a man must have clear convlc-5
lions to be elected President at this juno
ture. The man to lead the Democratic
party to success is the man with con-
victions and the courage to express Them,

servants. In addition to this he says that
he allows and encourages his guests IN
tipping his servants-not clandestinely,
but openly and with pride. The head
butler, who enjoys the name OF Armand.
has made an agreement with his employer
that no will not take more than a dollar tip
from anybody. while the less important
servants have a. smaller maximum.
This is all very well for the servants,
lnt how would guest feel who went
TO a house where tipping was authorized
and encouraged?

Justice to Cuba.

Enough sugar and tobacco cannot be
grown in the United States TO supply
cur needs Now is it right to force cuba,
as far as any other country can be 1orCeu,
to grow sugar at a loss simply for the
protection of own sugar growers
Cuba could not hold up long
under this condition. This eco
rcmic relief is absolutely necessary 70
the political relief of Cuba.
Secretary Root has aptly summed up
the situation in the following: -
The peace of Cuba is necessary to ING
rcace of the United States; the heaitli
Of Cuba is necessary to the health OF the
United States: the independence of Cuba
is necessary to the safety of the Unltet
States. The same considerations which
led 10 the war with Spain now require
that a commercial arrangement be made
under which Cuba can live
And President Palma, OF Cuba, mas
said:
Il will ask. with every expectation Of
the request being granted, that a rea.
sonable reduction shall be made in the
duty on sugar and tobacco, the two sta
pies of Cuban agriculture. If this re-
duction is granted the prosperity Of Cuba
will be immediate and great. There will
he S5O0, 600 employed in the sugar and
tobacco industries, all of which will be
lost il the American door is closed. The
fields of Cuba will be dcsolated, and the
sugar mills will be ruined just as thor

A Day of Rejoicing.

The Dispatch rcjoiccs to-day with the
good government people over the down
fall Of the city ring. 1t congratulatcs the
State Committee on its wise and just
decision It's sympathy valve is closed
tight, so far as the ring or its trailers are
concerned.
The stand this paper took in the fight
will be well remembered by its readers,
which was purely from a non-partisaiT
standpoint, and not actuatcd by a Lean
ing toward the Dey side for any other
reason than because the paper desired TO
see the best government obtainable i'll
charge of city affairs. Mr.. Dey's side
was not favored because it was Mr.. Dey's
side. but because it represented a change
which the paper believed would be for the
best interests of the taxpayers of the
city If Mr.. Dey's side goes wrong, crit
icism will be turned on it just as quick.
Many claimed that the fight was purely
a case OF one ring in ana another want
ing to get in. That may or may not be
true. The Dispatch docs not know. But
the fact remains that there is little pos
sibility Of the city being worsted by the
change. Tho result that may follow is
worth the risk.-Norfolk Dispatch.

is. however a more ancient and much
more reliable form OF crystal gazing.
You take a glass, just an ordinary glass;
then, cvoking the spirits in general use,
YOU place the glass to your lips, tilt II
TO just focus-no hcel-taps-and gaze
steadfasty through the bottom.
And you will see things. 1t all de-
ponds, we take it, on what is in the
glass when you begin to look and how
high and how often You tilt it. But 1t
seems that no matter what sort of glass
receptacle or contents you use, the best
results are not gotten except by those
people who have hazel eyes or Sreeny

man on the st. Paul railroad, who was
fatally wounded in his cab last week
while the train was speeding along at
twenty-five miles an hour, was killed
yesterday twenty-five miles west of

Charles Mays lumber camp, shot him
as he was coming toward the camp
and he died an hour later.
For q week past the entire country
around Amberg, Pembine and Dunbar
has been in state of alarm over the
presence of the insane man, whose
identity is yet unknown, but whose
name is supposed to be Raymond. The
hunters left the woods, men in lumber
camps kept their rifles loaded waiting
for him, and on all the trains people
were warned not to go on the plat
forms between Amberg and Pembine.
Saturday morning Wenzel saw the
insane man coming toward the camp
He warned him to stop, but the fellow
never needed him. He fired a shot
over his head, but he kept right on,
