OUR IMPETUOUS PRESIDENT.

There has been some CONSERVATION
In official circles, If no. throughout the
nation. caused by the action of Presi-
dent Roosevelt on the strength of a
dispatch which reached us last Satur-
day that our Vice Consul, VIM. 9.
Magelssen had been killed in Beirut,
Syria. Mr.. Roosevelt Immediately
ordered our fleet which has been cruis-
ing in the Mediterranean 1--WE have
fleets now cruising in all waters), to
proceed at once to Beirut. He did not
80 far as we know order the town
shelled or the inhabitants put to death,
but doubtless there is much strenuos-
ity in the order which we are not per-
mitted to see. Usually when such re.
ports arrive in the United States the
President does not act at once. He
awaits official announcement through
the proper department. The State
Department is the channel through
which such report should come to
Presidential ears. and usually there is
a cabinet meeting before any such
grave action is taken, that at least
used to be the custom, but we have
grown beyond it. Had our consul at
Liverpool been assassinated we are
very sure the regular course would
have been pursued even by Mr.. R0Ose'
welt, but with Turkey, q country
somewhat disturbed with civil strifes
the President has acted in a manner
different from any other President We
have ever had, and with undue haste
if not impetuosity. Now comes the
report that the vice consul was not
killed, he was not even shot at, only q
wedding party was hilarious amp shot
off pistol. The act of the President
is, therefore, another evidence of bis
dangerous impetuosity, and leads to
the inevitable conclusion that be is
unsafe.

c. & Q. IMPROVEMENTS AT sTAuNroN

It is pleasing to note that the C.&O.
Ry. has determined upon some valua-
BILE improvements at the station al
this place. 1t is needless to say that
Staunton deserves and should receive
the kindliest attention from that cor
poration. There are few railways
which have added to the earnings by
a town of the size of ours so much
revenue. A recent examination into
this revenue caused the SPECTATOR
to publish that there is more freight
and passenger business done at the two
depOts in Staunton than in the whole
county of Rockingham. Of course 1T
would be rather costly piece OF work,
but for it's own convenience and for
the general good of the town and
railway if the G. & o. would straight
en- its tracks at the station, a long steI
forward would be taken. The serpen
tine entrances from east and west are
much to be regretted, and choke th'

afraid that an engine may jump tht
track and dash into the crowd on tn
platform.
We call the especial attention OF th'
company to the inadequate facilities
for comfort, especially to female pas
sengers at the present station. 1t i
lno unusual thing for many ladies t.
be compelled to stand during their en-
tire wait for the train. The lad1e
waiting room is not over 20 feet by 2
feet we believe, and has at presen
seats for about 35 persons, and mos
meager accommodation as to lavatory
women travelling with little children
suffer many Inconvenience. 1t is t.
be hoped that when improvements be
gin they will comport with the neces
stiles of the situation, and be CON
, mensurate with the Importance of tn
r travel and the town. StauntOn stand

POWERS TO HANG.

Caleb Powers has been convicted tht
third time rs a principal to the assas
sination of VIM. Goebel, Governor
elect of Kentucky. Twice before ht
has been sentenced to life imprison'
ment, this time to be hung. His efforts
to get free have each time met witt
failure, each time bringing to light
more facts connected with the bastard.
ly crime, which alone Republican off
cials of Kentucky were capable oil
committing. Powers was Secretary OF
State under the last Republican ad-
ministration of Kentucky. Taylor
was Governor. and he is fugitive
from justice on account of his partici-
patton in the crime, and he is protect.
ed by Republican Governor in Indi-
ana from arrest.
The Republican administration of
Kentucky which wound up with as
sassination in order to perpetuate its
power, was the first, and We trust the
last, administration of the kind Ken
lucky will ever have. An effort has
been made to discredit justice in Ken
lucky, and to make light of the killing
of Gov. Goebel, in fact many papers
sought to justify it as a public neces-
sity, but public sentiment would not
stand for this, and the Republican
party throughout the United States
has had this load to bear along with
many others, and it is a load. 1t is
whether Powers will hang,
but that he ought to and ex-Goy. Tay-
lor with him, is now about made man.

TRUSTS IN THE SADDLE.

There was funny little tilt between
the corporation lawyers and those who
did not believe that Trusts were of
divine origin, at the Hot Springs last
week when the American Bar Associ-
alton met there. A committee had
been appointed to report whether there
were any changes necessary in the
commercial laws of the country, and
they reported unanimously that there
seemed to be danger of an entire
change in the commercial laws, owing
to the destruction of Individual enter.
prizes by combinations. This was
about as far as the committee went.
They did not say such combinations
were dangerous to the safety of the
nation, but Gen. Henderson of Ne.
braska, saw something political, be
feared that the Association might be
turned into a political hastings, and
he could not sit in silence with such a
danger brOoding. He feared that to
allow the report to be filed would COM
NIT the Association to a sentiment of
antagonism to trusts-he, it is needless
to say being trust lawyer-and there.
fore he objected to even SO much as a
filing of the report.
He did not seem to realize that to
refuse to allow the report to be filed
was as broad or broader expression
of.anti-Trust feeling on the part of the |
Association than the filing of it could |
have been against it, because the Gus
tom is to allow a report to be filed and |
then act on it afterward. But the
Trusts were in the saddle. The re-.
port was not allowed to be filed. the
corporations won out with ease and
grace. No meeting of lawyers. or
business men, in fact hardly relig.
1ous body. can assemble but that these
creatures do not have present their
employed agents, who allow no oppor-
tunity to pass in which they do not
seek to tighten their hold on the
throats of the people. It was so at
this meeting of lawyers, it is so eyery-
where. and especially in Congress. Ifl
there was ever any doubt that the Re.
publican party is the foster parent of
Trusts, that doubt was removed by
zen. Henderson on this occasion. u

Our friend Hon. J. W. Churchm an
has called our attention to the fact
that the members of the House of Del.
egates elected this fall do not vote for
the next U. 3. Senator. We acknowl-
edge the error of a previous article ON
this point. We had intended making
the correction last week lest ii might
work a hardship to some candidate,
but being called away from home on
the very day on which we talked to Mr..
Churchman, we omitted to do this,
though from the vote he received we
are sure he was not seriously affected
by the mistake. The Senators elected
this fall will vote for that officer.

Newport News AS ills.

As the eyes of so many are turned
towards Newport News on account of
the remnant of the Confederate army
and its numerous corps of camp fol-
lowers. sons. daughters and other kin,
the following sketch of the wonderful
new ship building city by the sea is
apropos. A former Rockbridge man
now in Newport News sends the story
to the Lexington Gazette:
Thinking perhaps the req ders of the
Gazette will be interested in the won
derful progress that has been made in
this city in the last four years. l send
you brief detailed account of the
most important improvements made
in that time.
The shipysrd four years ago employ
ed {, 500 men, while now the force has
been increased to 6 800, and $500 more
men are advertised for. At that date
they had one small dry dock, about one
hundred and fifty feet. They have
just completed second dock, eight
hundred feet, and large enough to dock
the largest vessels. 1t was a pretty
sight few weeks ago to see one of
our largest battleships and one Of the
largest of the German navy locked at
the same time.
The next largest enterprise here is
the Chesapeake and Ohio Co. In add.
ton to rebuilding the pier that was
burned in 1898. they have erected four
other large ones-two for freight and
1.-TWO for loading coal and grain on YES
sells. They have also built second
grain elevator, which created a demand
for more track. In consequence, a
large section of country was leveled
down and ten additional tracks laid.
| They city now is threaded with &c
railroad tracks and double track street
car lines running the whole length OF
three avenues and single track on
the fourth. The travel and traffic from
one section of the city to the other are
done over four line steel bridges which
were built at a cost of $175, 900.
1 Four years ago there were few gooi
buildings, no paving or curbing. Nov
the business section is composed of fin,
buildings and the residential parts o
!, the city are adorned with fine modern
dwellings.
Several days ago saw two ordinar,
looking mules draw to the highest poin
: in the city on wagon thirty barrel
of -four put up in cotton bags. Thi
speaks volumes for the fine condition
of our streets.
We now have six banks besides
night bank for the benefit of wage ear
ners.

An inexpensive Remedy.

Buttermilk is both a good food
and a good remedial agent. The
Tactic acid, the sour of the butter
milk, attacks and dissolves every
sort of earthly deposit in the blood
vessels. Thus it keeps the veins
and arteries so supple and free run
ming there can be no clogging up
hence no deposit of irritating cal
careous matter around the joints,
nor of poisonous waste in the mus
Giles.
1t is stiffening and hardening OF
the blood vessels which brings on
senile decay. Buttermilk is likely
to postpone it ten or twenty years,
if freely drank. A quart a day
should be the minimum. The max
imum may be according to taste and
opportunity.
+ Inesmnch as goGty diAcu!tic:
usually arise from sluggish excre-
ton, buttermilk is blessing to al
equity subjects. 1t gently stimu-
lates all the excretories, liver, skin
and kidneys. 1t also tones the
stomach and furnishes it the ma
terjal from which to make rich,
red, healthy blood.
If troubled with govt, avoid meat
pastry, sweets, wines, spices, hot
rolls, bread of all sorts, and every
thing belonging to the tribe of fer
ments. Eggs, game, fresh fruit,
vinegar, especially salads, may be
eaten with impunity. II any one
has a creaky joint or swollen and
aching one, he should drink all the
buttermilk he Can relish whenever
or wherever he can, but it should
be freshly churned and wholesome

enrolment of farmers from all parts

celebration of the day which the
fair officials have set apart for the
