STRANGERS IMPRESSION
OF AMERICA
[John Jones, from wales.l

Everybody likes to impress a
stranger favorably. There is a GER
tain awe about him, that people put
on their best behavior to him,
In the height of English sunshine,
when the month Of roses notified the
calender of the year, / took my berth
on board a beautiful steamship of the
American line.at Liverpool. and for
ten glorious days was rocked IN the
cradle Of the deep. That voyage was
the most delightful experience OF my
life. The sea, moved by a spirit, was
a reflection of the Infinite, and our
noble bark rode on the crest of the
waves like a bonnie bird. We had al
so the fine experience of a big storm
for about six hours, on the day before
we reached port. The waves were r.'

THE CAMPBELL INVESTIGATION.

The whole State is awaiting anNi-

case, but it is safe to say that there
are in Virginia today more sympa-
thizers of Judge Campbell than there
were when the trail began in Rich
mond. Days before the Legislature
opened the investigation this news
paper protested against bringing the
Amherst judge before the committee
appointed to sit in the case on any
other charge than that Of hOrse-whip-
ping the Rev Mr. Crawford. but in
stead of following this line of action.
whichwas theeminently fair and prop
erone, the committee saw fit 10 open
wide the doors of the Investigation
and to leaveJudge Cainpbell's char
acter, record and ifeeNposel TO the at
sack ofmen, nearly all Of whom seem
TO have been seeking not justice. but
personal revenge. What q spectacle
has been presented to the country.
This judge, who, il painted by re-
lentless prosecution. is as black as
hades, was allowed for years
to pursue a course claimed bv his
enemies to have been unlawful and
corrupt and vet no mans hand was
raised to point him out rs unfit for

Crawford episode had aroused
prejudice against him Then. like
the concealed clan of a Scottish chief

nook and corner of Amherst county.
ready and willing 70 prosecute the
man whom they claimed had been
disgrace to the judiciary. but against
whom they had before refused to
make charges. The whole trial has
been so permeated with personal
spite and political gruarcs as to
make it invaluable in arriving at an
unpreiudiced opinion ofJudce Camp
bell, and the committee with fairness
to the accused can 20 no further
than to pass Judgment on Judge
Campbell in connection with the
horse-whipping espisode, celebrating
from the record the mass ofvalueless
testimony along other lines.
