The Portsmouth Star. after showing
how II happens that suicide is not stat
,,;ory crime in Virginia, says:
Chief yellines, of Norfolk, in stating
the practical view, says he has deter
mined not to allow the police TO botner
with suicides. If they die he SENDS the
undertaken; if they do not die ne sehus
the physician. 1t is not case lof tie
police. 1t is a case for a stomach pump
Or a coffin.
The wytheyille Dispatch declares Its
firm belief that the injection of the ne"
constitutional life blood into the political
and governmental veins of Virginia means
the cleansing and purifying of the very
life of the old Commonwealth, and adds:
Here we see a political trickster rele-
gated to the rear. and a man with high
ideals and clean hands eleTated to some
judgeship; there a city's police depart
ment is aroused to action, and cvidoers
trenble in their shoes-ail to be credited,
in our opinion, to the spirit of reform.
The iCharlottesv Progress enthusi-
astically remarks:
charlottesville ought to be the most.
beautiful city IN Virginia. us location IS
ideal, in the midst Of the rolling Pied
mont county, surrounded by the bold
beauty of hills and the quiet. peaceful
aspect of smiling valleys. Around. above
it. everywhere, nature does its part to
make it all that could be asked, and it is
not strange that here has been the BIRTH
place of poets, orators, sages and that
to-day it is the home of brilliant men
and women"
The Petersburg Index-Appeal says:
I'm Virginia. particularly. under the
rev Constitution and an electorate re-
strcted to intelligence and worth-moral
and material-the political battles of the
future will be fought on living questions
relating to administrative policies Of gov
ernnert and not on the dead issues of
the prejudices and bitterness of the past.
It is to that complexion of affairs that
the Democratic party of the South must
a6apt itself if it would maintain its
ascendancy in this section and defeat the
efforts of the Lily White Republican
party"

HOpkinsville EndeavOrers Left for

Members of the Endeayor Socie-
ties of the First PRESBYTERIAN,
Christian, Episcopal and Cum5er
land Presbyterian churches left on
Ghe &C. train this morning at :
o'clock for Eddyville. They will
conduct an all day service IN the
prison for the inmates. Great good
has been done by the prisonwwork
IN this state since it was organized
six or seven years ago. Then the
Endeayorers did not meet with a
very warm reception by the officers
OF the prison. But now it is entire.
ly different. The prisoners in
large numbers have joined the So
cietles organized at Frankfort and
Eddyville, and so great has the
change been in the conduct of the
prisoners, thst it is quite common
for the Christian workers 10 be in
vited by those having control Of the
unfortunates to visit the institution.
We have been able to secure the
names of part Of those who went to
Eddyville this morning, to-wit:
Rev. H. d. Smith, of the Christian
church, Miss Jennie Glass, Secreta-
ry of the Prison Work committee Of

IN THE SENATE.
Closing Hours iiarked by Rath-
err Tart Debate.

Washington, July AFTER a ses
sion marked by some of the stormi
est debates ever heard in the
American Congress, the Senate ad.
journed sine die at $50 this after
noon.
During the last hours of the ses-
sion there was a tart debate on the
question on the part of Messrs.
Carmack, of Tennessee, Spooner, of
Wisconsin, Culbertson, of Texas,
McComas, of Maryland, and Lodge,
of Massachusetts,.
The conference report on the
Philippine government bill was
adopted with very little discussion,
and then the Senate decks were
cleared for adjournment. Mr..
Carmack called up his resolution
providing for a continuance of the
investigation of the Philippine com.
mittee and for visit to the Philip
pines by the committee during the
present summer. This started the
trouble and for more than an hour
a battle of words was waged. Mr.,
Spooner delivered a scathing de-
nnnciation Of the minority OF the
Philippine committee for what he
declared was an attack upon the

this afternoon, declared the House
of Representatives adjourned with
out day. In doing sohe said that
no House Of Representatives since
the adoption of the Constitution had
done as much work as this one.
The audience to which he made
his brief address was brilliant
one. The galleries were banked to
the doors and almost two-thirds Of
the members were IN their seats on
the floor.
The Speakers appreciatiye
words to the members in thanking
them for their cooperation during
the session had' touched a respon-
sive cord and they gave him a re-
markable demonstration of their
friendship and good will. While
the cheering and applause we're
still in progress, the members on
the floor began singing "My Coun-
try, It's of Thee. 1t was taken
up by the correspondents in the
press gallery over the Speakers
chair and by the spectators in the
surrounding galleries and soon the
vast hall was ringing with tnt
swelling chorus.
Other patriotic airs followed a
the members exchanged farewells

ternating with Dixie"
SHAKES THE RAFTERs.
The Speaker came down from hi
rostrum, his appearance on tn
floor being greeted with FOR He

rush of members to grasp his hand
Standing in the area in front of th

songs, and there was a wild seen,
when Gen. Hooker, of Mississippi
the one-armed Confederate veteran
took his place by the side of the
| Speaker and together they sang
Dixie. Mr.. Gambler, a Missis
siPpi Democrat, jumped upon a
desk and gave yell of jubilatior
that fairly shook the rafters.
For almost half an hour the iubi
lation continued. All this time the
spectators remained standing in the
galleries, watching the animated
scene below and joining in the
singing.
The adjournment came at the enc
of a seven and a half hours session
during which much minor business
was transacted. In all seventy
