In his veto message on House Bill
No. 2, special session, the Governor
says:
This bill carries the appropriation
to pay the expenses of the special
session convened on Saturday, Feb
ruary rs, 1905, imm ediately succeed
ing the regular session, which ad-
journed during the preceding night.
The bill carries a total appropriation
of SI3.7I3,8o, of which amount So
6SS, 90 is for mileage. Deducting
mileage, the expenses OF the special
session carried by,this bill are 50, o2S,-
co.
The State Senate refused to pass a
joint resolution to pay the mileage of
members for this session. Many mem
bers have declared they would not &C
cept the mileage. There is grave doubt
as to The proprety and legality of the
Legislature voting its mbers mile
age for the extra session.
In order that those who do not wish
to accept mileage (requisition tor the
same having be- Il issued to al) may
have a clear record in this matter.
hereby disapprove the items making
appropriations Tor the mileage Of
thirty members Of the Serate, twelve
undred and thirty one dollars and
forty cents: and eff so members Of the
House of Delegates, three thousand
four hundred and fifty seven dollars
aud fifty cents.
The mex Legislature can, if i,
chooses, make appropriation to pa,
the mileage Of such members OF hi
Legislature as wish to be paid their
mileage allowance

If Hon. John j. Cornwell will &C
cept the Democratic nomination for
Congress there will not be an oppos-
ing voice. In fact we do not believe
there is a Democratic voter in the
second district who has not already
cast solcitous ref ections toward
Romney and its distinguished citizen.
The wonderful run made by Sena-
tor Cornwell Tor governor clearly in
dictates that there is ne other Demo
crat in the district who can get as
many votes as he.

There has been much speculation as
to who Judge Dayton would appoint
as clerk OF his court. 1t has bsen the
custom to have one Democrat and
one Republican as clerks.of the Cir
cult and District courts but it is hard
" expected that Col Delecker will be
retained or that Democrat will be
appointed to that place. Judge Day
ton is a party man and the pressure
has been very great, we hear to force
the appointment CT a Republican.

remembered that we called the atten

they are held up by the assessors.

Rev Edward Davis Washburn D. D

The announcement of the death of
this noble and godly man, whilst net
indeed entirely unexpected, has yet
come to us az great shock. We can
scarcely take IN the fact that a great
man in Israel has fallen.
The N VS. Of his death at the Johns
Hopkins Hospital reached his friends
here Wednesday evening between 3
and o'clock. He haG been taken there
on the advice of his physician in Rom
ney, Dr.. Daily, about TIN ee weeks ago
in The hope that the complete rest and
treatment of that place would restore
bis health which was found to be much
affected 10y his incessant labors IN his
large field at Romney. He had but
few weeks ago been released from that
church, with the exception of going to
large and important church in Ken
lucky, and the work and worry Incl
dent to that labsrous change proved to
be more than his depleted strength was
able to endure. The Great Master OF
Assembli has released him from all
worldly tolls ami exalted him to ser
vice nearer the throne.
DR.. Washburn was born in Savan-
nah Ga, Jan. 18th l84S After taking
A. B. lat the University OF Virginia, he
entered Union Theological Seminary,
| where he graduated in 1873, after TAX
ing the full three years course with en-
inent distinction. He was especially
! fine in his Greek scholarship. DR.. H.
| G.. Alexander was exceedingly proud
of his attachments ir this department.
But he was not merely one sided
scholar, excelling in one or possibly
two branches. His scholarship was well
rounded out He was fine theologlan
as well. AS pastor he excelled. He
was wise in winning souls to the Saw
Jour. AS friend he was true aud 10y
al. Hewas loved by all who krew him.
Strong in his convictions, he was yet
always coneiderste of the opinions OF
those who differed from him. 1t was
matter of universal regret to bis breth-
aen in the Presbytery of Wincheste
when he announced his determination
to leave them for another fl Id of use
fulness. He is gone before but his
memory remains pr ecious heritage TO
his friends. There is great throng
awaiting the day of the revelation OF
all things, to rise up and call him
blessed Many loving and grateful
soul has given him glad welcome to
the realms Of the blest, and the Great
Saviour whom he loved and adored f,
has given him the freedom of the Ce-
lestial City, where they go no more out
forever. Iu that country tie inhabit-
ant shall never, more say: am sick.
And God wipeth away all tears from
their eyes.
o eyes that are weary aud hearts that
are sore,
Look off unto Jesus and sorrow no
| more,
The lightof his countenance shineth
so bright
That on earth as in heaven there need
be no night.
Looking off unto Jesus my spirit is
blest,
In the word have turmoil-In him

Tie sea of my life all about me may

When look unto Jesus, hear it no
more.

But he must needs butt into a business of which he knows nothing-the newspaper business-and seek a quarrel with an old, established journal which has always thrived upon quarrels. For a long time THE OASIS gave him no attention. It thought it best to let him show his own incompetency and inefii- ciency, which he has done, to the anger and disgust of q host of creditors.

AN important requisite in con- ducting a newspaper is a lucid dis cussion of contemporaneous events and matters of interest to the readers; a more important requi- site is regular presentation of fresh and interesting news, we'll set forth.

A TelepIloning reform.

Paris, Dec. 23.-For a, long time the
telephone girls. have complained bitter
~ against the inconvenient receiver
which they press on their heads when
they want to put subscribers in COM
munication with each other. They re-
gard it as kind of nightmare. since
they hold it responsible for defective
hearing and headaches. Besides, l.
spoils their coiffures.
The authorities recognized that there
was reason in these complaints, and
have decided. to introduce a new re-
ceiver. It viii be lighter. and while
it will not be as comfortable as a hat
it will not be disagreeable in appear
ance. One of the papers. in announce
ing this reform, hopes that the tele-
phone girls, when they get rid of their
present receiver. which makes them
nervous and irritable, will henceforth
put subscribers into communication
more quickly, and with a smile on
their lips.
