"ROTUND, ROSY.v But MRATnY.

The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot has thi.
to say Of rotund aud rosy John 5
Wise:
Born and bred a Virginian, he has
voluntarily expatriated himself for the
sake Of the larger opportunities the
metropolis offers to the man Of parts.
A Southerner, he knows the Southern
viewpoint aud the conditions that
confront the South.
We find ii, therefore, a trihe amaz.
ment that Mr.. Wise should descend 10
the role Of pestIferOus mischief maker
aud should seek to play, at long range,
the part Of carpe'bagger in the Com
monwealth that gave him his birth
and that has aforetime honOred him
and his.
What twist Of fate can have s0ured
the rotund and rosy Mr.. Wise that he
should 90 out OF his way to champion
the cause Of Cufiy, whom the white
people of Virginia have declared unfit
to exercise the right Of suffrage?
Does his manly bosom heave with
sympathy when he sees the sovereign
"cullud" citizen deprived of his per.
quisite of dollar bill and a five cent
short on election day?

"STRIKE HIGH.v

IL has been sometimes tlippantly and
foolishly said that the boy who won
college h0nors rarely succeeded in after
life. Nothing is farther from the truth.
The general rule is that the boy or
girl who stands well at school takes
higher stand in after life. There are
exceptions 20 this as to all other rules.
but they are few and far between.
David did his duty even as shepherd
and was made sovereign. The immor-
tai Lee won highest honors at West
Point, and ever afterwards his course
was upwards until he won his last vic
tory over death aud the grave.
Think Of the bows you have known
at school and say whether or not what
We have said is not true. Faithful in
the least is prophecy Of faithfulness in
greater things The store boy who
sweeps the store best is most apt some
day 10 own a store Of his own, and the
mechanic who is most careful Of little
things will be first to receive promo.
ton. 1t is well to remember these
things in these the opening days Of an
other school session. And this, too, TO
he great and successful one need not be
bad. After George Washington had
won all his honors he went again to
tow before his mother, the very pres
ence in which he had knelt to receive
her benedictlon before he entered upon
any hazardous undertaking, who qul-
city said: al am not surprised at
what George has accomplished in life,
for he was always a good boy"
Young men and women Of Virginia,
gather inspiration from lives so noble,
from hfe-work so glorious, and do your
best now, at school, and in the morn
ing Strike high.

Even some Democrats are foolish
enough to say that we can't afford to

the only two we have had since the

Just so and the same will be true of the
next as the very rich men Of the
country are determined to keep the
Republican party in power and they
can make and unmake hard times at
their own sweet wills. The Republican
party is responsible for this abnormal
condition of affairs, and as long as il
makes the laws the disease will con-

which will hurt for a time, and a cure
may be effected.

THE BATTLE OF BOOKS.

The mightiest engagements Of the
ages l. on again. Ten thousand times
ten thousand children, little and big
are wheeling into line, forming into
squads and squadrOns, companies and
regiments, battalions and corps, ready
10 march in solid phalanx. elbow
touching elbow, shields locking, hearts
thrObbing in unison with the one pur-
pose Of capturing the strOngbolds of
ignorance and Of overcoming the
powers Of uncontrolled passion and
prejudice.
Never did soldiers 90 to the wars
followed by prayers more fervent or
hopes more conflicting, aud never was
more Of courage and the determination
10 do or die, needed.
Cheer comrades, and with heads
erect, eyes to the front, keeping step to
the more than martial music of beat
ing hearts, march on from victory to
victory, inspired with the thought that
never before in the history of the world
was ignorance at such discount and
wisdom at such premium. No where
in the busy world in this busy age
are drones wanted, bat everywhere
doors are in active demand. Do well
the soldiers part and then wear the
soldiers crown. In the battle OF the
books find your place and do well your
part.

"LET US HAyEPEACE.v

We agree with our brother Of the

mends the action Of General Torrance,
the cOmmander-in-chef Of the Grand
Army Of the Republic, who would
have his commands aid the Con.
iederates OF Alabama in making more
comfortable their home for those "who
wore the gray"
This extract from the very able ell
torial being on that subject is worth
repeating:
The confederate soldiers who surren-
dered In 1865, aud who subsequently
swOre fealty 10 the laws and the gov
eminent of the United States, did so in
perfect good faith, and there is no rea-
son 10 doubt that, with some few erratic
exceptions, they buried the passions,
the prejudices and the anlmosities of
the past in the grave which held the
hopes Of the COnfederacy a. separate

years since our sectional differences
were settled by the stern arbitrament
Of war, and 1t would be foolish and inn

BIBLE READING NOWADAYS.

paper gives the following splendid
eason why il should not be so:
Apart from its sacred character. the
authorized version Of the Bible is
worthy of the study of all who aspire
to learn the English language in its
purity. The English of the translat
ors is model Of simplicity, beauty and
nobility which no other writers of
English have surpassed. In no other
book is so much told in words 80 few
and 50 simple. It's narratives describe
human nature and the motives and
impulses of men more correctly than
has been done in any other book. In
