who knew him that he would put
into force those abilities which a
thorough business training had en-

extent silent worker, and while
others were speaking to the galleries

paper readers, our representative was
assiduously at work for the interests

We THINK the Virginia House of

We THINK the Virginia House of
Delegates made mistake in uuseet-
ing Hibbits, Republican, and seating
Fulton, Democrat. The majority
report of the committee, signed
by several Democrats, declared
that the Republican was entitled to
his seat, and upon the evidence pro-
duced fair-minded men are bound to
come to the conclusion that as the
Republican was elected on the face
of the returns it hardly stands to
reason that the Democrat was cheat
ed by Democratic judges of election.
Our party is sufficiently strong in
this State not to have recourse to
unfairly ousting the few Republi-
cans who may be elected. Particu.
larry unfortunate is it that this ac-
ton has been taken at this time
when Virginia Democrats have sew
eral contests on their hands before q
Republican Congress, and since that
Congress has already taken steps to
investigate so-called frauds in South
ern Democratic States.

HOW THEY DO LOVE THE
EASTERN SRORE.
Norfolk Laadmark.)

Quoting q reference which The
Landmarks recently made to the sug-
gested transfer OF the two Eastern
Shore counties TO the Second District
by way of otfsettiug the addition of
Newport News and several Western
Shore counties 10 the First Districs,
tue fredericksburg Star notes with
considerable sarcasm the passionate
protests or certain persons aud papers
in the First District
"TheSe latter" says the Star,
"yiew with indignation the PROPOSE
ton to separate us from our very
good friends of the Eastern Shore
aad gushingly speak of old associa-
tons, etc, but the Star desiresto
call attention to the fact that when
loyal, old line Democrat of the
Eastern Shore, man whom his peo-
pie delighted to honor, was a candi-
date for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. these
same gentlemen who now Indignantly
protest against the proposed change
were among the most active support
ers OF the present Lieutenant-Gover-
nor, Hon. Joseph E. Willard, and
among the most active opponents of
that splendid old Democrat, Hon.
Geo. W. LeCato." In explanation
of its own position, our Fredericks.
burg contemporary continues as fol-
lows:
"The Star also opposed Senator
LeCato, but we find ourselves now,
unlike some of our friends, in no
hypocritical position on this account,
since we earnestly trust that Freder-
lcksburg, Caroline and Spotsylvania,
whose delegates voted without break
in the last State Convention for an
Eighth District man and against one
from the First, will be placed in the
former district"
Now, we have no desire to get our
Western Shore friends into another
district. They are altogether pleasant
companions. But it is decidedly
against the interest of both this port
and Newport News that the present
ore EuiSh0 ohOulO COubluue, anu IN
placing Newport News in another
district, some of the counties must be
changed about. To put the Western
Shore counties in the First District
and the Eastern Shore counties in
the Second would seem to us to be
entirely reasonable. The Eastern
Shore counties are in closer physical
contact with the Second District than
with the First.
The remarks of the Fredericks-
burg Star are of interest in counec-
ton with the Warsaw NeUs'S cry of
pain at the possibility of the Eastern
Shores being subjected to the bane-
full influence of Norfolk County
politics. We do not know what DO
sition the Netcs itself took with re-
gard to the candidacy of DIR. LeCato,
but it is plain enough that the
Eastern Shore counties may not at
this time be overbubbling with de-
light at the political bill of fare
which has been set before them in
First District.

BRITON AND BOER.

We never held with the policy OF
decrying the English people fol-
their war in South Africa against
the Beers, used largely, we are sorry
to say, as a campaign cry by the
Democratic party. Our natural sym
pathies have been with the strug-
Cling Beers, because of an invasive
war prosecuted against them, and
while they as small people have and
must continue to suffer Immeasur.
ably, great general good must come
out of English supremacy in South
Africa. AS is the case with all wars,
there has been great deal of cruelty
on the part of the aggressors, and
but for England's bitter hand we
could look with large measure of
charity upon her course in the pres
ent conflict.
The Dutch nature is not towards
progressiveness; on the contrary, it is
mossbacked and barnacled, seeking
to stay legitimate progress OF world
civilization, and were there many
such nations, with power sufficient,
civilization and Christianity would
soon come to a standstill. The Dark
Continent needs the hand of the

DOINGS IN CONGRESS.

A genuine sensation was caused in
the House Thursday by the presen-
tation by Mr.. Richardson, of Ten
nessee, the Democratic leader, of
charges alleging the corrupt use of
fund of 100000 in connection
with the sale of the Danish West
Indies. The charges were contained
IN an alleged secret report to Capt.
Walter Christmas to the Danish
Government, which declared that he
had employed corrupt means to
bring the negotiations for the sale
OF the islands to contamination.

HE Richmond Necs urges the
Constitutional Convention before adj
journment to rectify three great mis-.
takes which it has made. On two
of these we are with it. We think il
great mistake that the terms of
State Senators and the terms of their
election should have been meddled
with. Let this error be remedied.
On the second we also agree-that
the State tax be replaced at 40 cents,
leaving the matter of reduction in
the future to the Legislature. On
the third We do not agree with our
contemporary. We think that q
property qualification ought to be
one of the essential features of the
new suffrage plan. An educational
feature under present conditions
would soon become farce. To our
minds this latter is nonsensical.

Anglo-Saxon to snatch it from leth-
argy and barbarism, and when once
the supremacy of this race is estab-
lished that vast expause, which
has long been considered dreary
waste, will blossom as the rose. The
talismanic words of the insatiate
Cecil Rhodes =" From Cape to
Cairo"-mean the retaining and
regeneration of one-quarter of the
earth's landed surface. The tenn
ing millions that the civilized world
is annually bringing into light and
existence must find room for their
expanding bodies and intellects, and
where beside Africa is there such an
opening? The French, the Italians,
the Austrians, the Belgians and
even the Germans have all made
miserable failures in attempts at
colonizing parts of Africa; the Eng
lish alone have been successful, and
who better than the Anglo-Saxons
deserve the fruits of that energy?
Had the other nations the opportu-
nifty and push they would have swal-
lowed the Transvaal as England is
doing. They have demonstrated
their cupidity, but have woefully
failed in their undertakings. The
phlegmatic Dutch, stretched from
ocean to ocean across the lower part
of the continent, were a barrier to
the progress of that world; and with
less claim to territorial occupancy
than the red Indian had it little
becomes America to decry the doings
of their cousins of the British Isles.
Could England blot out the record
of instances of cruelty in her war
with the Burghers = most notably
the death of Commander Scheepers-
we could look with satisfactory leni-
ency upon her course. The death of the
Boer Scheepers was one Of the foulest
acts that stains England's escutch-
con. Desiring to inspire fear and
hasten the capitulatiou of the men
who are fighting for their homes,
Commander Scheepers was court
martialed and sentenced to death
upon the trumped charge of arson.
Fifteen British soldiers who had
burned down villages innumerable
poured into the brave man bullets
at only ten steps distant. The body
Of Scheepers was literally blown to
pieces aud the death chair in which
he sat was shiyered by their charge.
In releasing the great Baron Me-
thuen the Beers, indeed, heaped
Goals of fire upon the invaders
heads, and that act, coming as it did
upon the murder Of Scheepers, has
aroused for them the sympathy of
the civilized world. Human sympa-
thy is with the Beers; civilization in
her onward march clasps hands with
the British.
America, of all countries, should
welcome a speedy and successful
termination to British arms in this
war. Anglo-Saxon supremacy is in
the balance. While England is
harassed with her African conflict
giant powers of Europe are laying
plans which threaten to undermine
the influence and supremacy of our
race. Let England once weaken
and become prey to avaricious
neighbors and generations will see
long continued and bloody strife for
existence, in which we of this country
will bear the brunt.

SOME RAILROAD TALK.

The fredericksburg Free Lance
recently had a lengthy editorial upon
the subject of the Northern Neck
Railroad. The question is one of
deep Importance to the people of this
section, as well as Fredericksburg,
and we have long felt convinced
that if that city would enter heartily
into cooperation with the six count
les between it aud the Bay some
kind of a railroad could certainly 6e
projected. We have not yet given
out the idea of steam railroad, and
until our hopes in this direction have
entirely flown We prefer letting the
question of an electric line remain
quiescent. An electric railway would
be purely local affair, with no hope
of any through connections, ard
naturally it would be many years
before such road could be made to
pay. With a steam railway twould
be only a matter of short time
before western connections were made
with some great road, probably the
West Virginia Central, that would
open to us the vast coal-felds of
West Virginia and give an outlet to
Pittsburg and Cincinnati for our
produce, whose markets offer better
advantages than those of the East.
Failing to procure steam railway
would throw us entirely upon our
own resources, when naturally an
electric line would be the most FEAST
BILE project. When representative
men of our section or moueyed men
from distance shall put their heads
together for the accomplishment of
this cherished project, and there are
assurances that it may materialize,
then We should-one and all, ire
spectiye of creed, politics or fractional
differences-lend them all the aid
that is within our power. We trust
the fredericksburg people and papers
will agitate the matter and that some
good will come out Of this much dis
cussed and anxious question.
