Worth The Money,

Worth The Money,
The Rockingham takes final revie"
/, of the Campbell case. In which II says:
Whatever may be the result OF judge
campbclvs threat to take the case 70
.he courts the adverse action OF the peo-
n,a,a representatives in both branches OF
Tic General Assembly vindlcates the a.s "
nity of the bench, and Is final ana sum,
Gent notice that the ONCE oi 1uu ts,t s.,'
NOT be prostituted TO personal or tactioha'
ends. 80 ct,to
Imdic,ary. quite as much as Clarence
Campbell was on trial In this ies'sialio,
Investigation and 1t comes out unsca.hed.
No court decision hereafter basea on
technical considerations. even though faT
yorable to Judge Campbell, can break
tho force OF the legislative verdict and
for that reason the result thus FAR IS
wnrth to Virginia every dollar OF the
Iarro hill oi costs that was piled up be-
fore the final roll-call was reached.
Opening Old Wounds.
Tho Wytheville Dispatch takes this
view of the Cleveland agitation:
AVE- admire and have always admired
mn Cleyelands Intellect, his integrity
and his stamina, and have always de-
nlored his dangerous and exasperating
Istnhbornnass. Unquestionably one OF
the ablest men of our land. he would
make a president OF whom our country
could be proud II he is nominated we
Mill gladly vote for him,
But we sincerely hope that MT. Cieve,
land will discourage his friends and VIII
positively decline to be candidate. no
one should realize better than ne mat
lie is not the man to unity the party,
and for his party's sake as well as ms
own he should withdraw. IT IS true
that the principle Of no third term does
not apply to Mr., Cleveland. since the
roint is against continuance In Office MOI
against intermittent terms. But the party
cannot afford to tear open old WOUNDS py
the nomination of either Mr.. cleveland
or Mr., Bryan.
Great Things For Newport News,
The Newport News Press has this rosey
view of things: ,,,.,,
~ is to be hoped that the deal which
tas been contaminated In connection
with the controlling interest OF tue olu
Dominion Land Company means tIat
Newport News Is to become terMlnal
noint for the great Gould system OF rall-
roads Such result would be SO pro
ductive of benefits to this section tnat
one can hardly realize that something
along this line has not been attempted
heretofore. So far as the Gould interests
are concerned 1t does not require a propll-
ct to see that the adoption of this city
as deep-water terminal would be one OF
the wisest and most profitable transac.
lions ever engaged in by a member OF
an exceedingly shrewd and businesstke
family.
Hampton Roads is the Ideal gateway
for the foreign commerce of the Middle
West. The experience of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad along this line is posi-
tive proof of this assertion, Then, too,
1t is well known fact that tho coal
fields of Virginia and West Virginia are
lust beginning to he developed. New
port News is the natural shipping point
for all Of this traffic, and we have mp
doubt that the Gould interests Intend to
have hand in taking care Of this profit
table business.
"A Great Nuisance,
Both town and country folks will en-
dorse this from the Norfolk Landmark:
1t may have been very liberal con-.
structlon of his prerogative in the mat
tar when the police justice OF Richmond
