The general Offices of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad Company are to be
moved from Richmond to Clifton Forge
This announcement is not yet official
ly authorized, but the step has been
virtually decided upon and the trans.
fer will almost certainly be made in a
few months.
The company has extensive property
at Clifton Forge, and it is believed that
the presence there this week of Presi-
dent Stevens and other officials was
with reference to building. 1t is argu-
ed for the move that Clifton Forge is
more centrally located and better suit
ed for the operative headquarters.
1t is learned that both Cincinnati

these Offices located there and are offer
ing Inducements to the company to

Nh. HANNA AND THE PRESIDENCY.

Senator Hanna is said to been loom
ing up for the Presidential nomination.
70 carry Ohio by SO large a majority
is said to have been great exploit.
and deserves national recognition.
Again Senator Hanna is looked upon
as a political seer, and the very qulnt-
escense of business sagacity, and one
who can be trusted on all occasions to
do the right thing at the right time.
Mr.. Hanna feels bis Importance just
now. AS he appeared on the Senate
floor at the beginning of the present
session be was cheered by the galleries
and his riends rushed to grasp bis
hand. He saw the coveted prize IN
the distance, but be has not yet made
up his mind, at least the public is told
that he has not made up his mind
wheth er he will be candidate. He
has in fact made up his mind. He has
decided in the negative, as things now
stand, but if there should be some
break NJ ade by the present incumbent
then his mind might change. There
are no manacles on him, he has not
given his bond to anybody not to run,
but he lacks the nerve. To run re-
quires nerve just now. 1t compels him
to face the terrible visage of the pres
emit incum bent, made more terrible by
the fact that Mr.. Hanna has been con-
side red. The day Congress assembled
Mr.. Hanna called on the present In
cumbent, and reports say was asked
to accept the craftsmanship of the
National Committee, but he has not
done so. He has promised to reply
later. This honor be will decline. He
has had en- ough of it, but he has not
wholly withdrawn his optics from the
White House, and this fact has caused
q feeling of unrest within that man
sion. The present incumbent has all
along thought he had easy sailing.
He thought his administration so
faultless that the nation must have
him. His vanity has led him to believe
he has really been great president,
but that feeling is confined largely to
the White House. Even those he has
favored, and who fawn upon him.
know this is mistake, and that if the
willy Mark will say the word the coun-
try will leave the present incumbent
and flock to the standard of the Ohio
statesman. For the good of the Dem.
ocratic party it will be well if the Ohio
statesman does not increase in nerve
sufficiently to undertake the race. He
is foe who will give that party more
trouble than any other man among the
possible candidates.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

A man named Burdette, who operat-

special grand jury, and when tho case
came up for trial Burdette published
a long letter in the Nelson County
Times, in which he roasted Judge
Loving to a finish, making bitter at
tack and charging the judge, by i'm
plication if not directly, with conniv-

The ink on the paper was hardly dry

the fine, giving bond and appealing

Burdette returned TO the county, sold

ECONOMIC ADVANTAGES.

Inc treaty submitted TO you for ap-
prevail secures to the United States
economic advantages as great as those
given to Cuba. Not an American in
terest is sacrificed. By the treaty a
large Cuban market is secured to our
producers. 1t is market which lies
at our doors, which is already large,
which is capable of great expansion and
which is especially important to the
development of our export trade. 1T
would be indeed shortsighted for US to
refuse to take advantage of such an
opportunity and to force Cuba into
making arrangements with other coun-
tries to our disadvantage.
This reciprocity treaty stands by it.
self. tits demanded on oonside fations
of broad national policy as we'll as by
our economic interest. 1t will do harm
to no industry. 1t will benefit many
people as whole, both because of its
Importance from the broad standpoint
of international policy and because
economically it intimately concerns
us to develop and secure the rich Gu bar
market for our farmers, artisans, mer.
chants and manufacturers.
Finally, it is desirable as guaranty
of the good faith of our nation towards
her young sister republic to the south
whose welfare must ever be closely
bound with ours. We gave her liberty
We are knit to her by the memories Of
the blood and the courage of our sol.
diers, who fought for her in her war
by the memories of the wisdom and
integrity of our administrators who
served her in peace and who started
her so we'll on the difficult path of self.
government. We must help her on
ward and upward; and in helping hel
we shall help ourselves.
The foregoing considerations caused
the negotiation of the treaty with Cuba
and its ratification by the senate.
They now with equal force support the
legislation by the congress which, by
the terms of the treaty, is necessary tC
render it operative. A failure to enact
such legislation would come perllous

The Presidents Messaue.

The following is the full text of the
message submitted by President
Roosevelt to the extraordinary session
OF congress:
To the Senate and House of Represen-
tatives:
l have convened the congress that it
may consider the legislation necessary
to put into operation the commercial
treaty with Cuba, which was ratified
by the senate at it's last session, and
subsequently by the Cuban government.
l deem such legislation demanded not
only by our interest, but by our honor.
We canGot with propriety abandon the
course upon which we have so wisely
em barked.
When the acceptance IF the Piatt
amendment was required from Cuba
by the action of the congress OF the
, United States this government thereby
definitely committed itself to the policy
of treating Cuba as occupying a unique
position as regards this country. It
| Was provided that when the island be-
came free and Independent republic
she should stand in such close relations
with us as in certain respects to come
within our system Of international pol.
! icy: aud it necessarily followed that
she must also to certain degree be-
come included within the lines of our
economic policy
CONCERNING NAVAL STATIONS.
Situated as Cuba is, it would not be
possible for this country to permit the
! ot~ <or ~ hv,o of tho icIo nd nv
foreign military power. 1t is for this
| reason that certain limitations have
been imposed her financial policy, and
that naval stations have been conceded
! by her to the United States The ne
gotiations as to the details of these
naval stations are on the eve of COM
pletion. They are so situated as to
prevent any idea that there is the in
tention ever to use them against Cuba
or otherwise than for the protection
of Cuba from the assaults of foreign
foes, aud for the better safeguarding
of American interests in the waters
south of us.
These interests have been largely in
creased by the consequences of the war
with Spain, and will be still further in
creased by the building of the Isthm-
ian canal. They are both military and
economic. The granting to us by Cuba
of tho naval stations above alluded to
is of the utmost Importance from u
military standpoint, and is proof of the
good faith with which Cuba is treating
us. Cuba has made great progress
since her independence was establish.
ed. She has advanced steadily in ev.
cry way. She already stands high
among her sister republics of the new
world. She Is loyalty observing her
obligations to us, and she is entitled to
like treatment nv uG
