UNCONSCIOUS HUMOR.

As sample OF unconscious.
but sparkling humor. We commend
the following extract from "a letter OF
one Thos. r. Evans. published in Il
recent issue of the News-Leader, To
our readers:
The quiet Senator Martin. in my
Judgment. should have the credit OF
indirectly causing the Spanish-Amer-
lean war. For whereas he did not
blow up the Maine. he indirectly was
the cause OF its presence in Cuban
waters. If the Maine had not been
destroyed there would not have been
war.
Against the desire of the majority
of the people OF Virginia. Martin, IN
stead of General F'itz Lee. went to
the Senate.
Lee was sent to Cuba; he was irrl-
tated bv the conditions there. andhe
requested President Mckinley to
send the Maine. Had Lee benin the
Senate there would have been no
war.
While Senator Martin cannot be
nationally blamed for these misiOr-
tunes. in his trail have followed such
calamities and earnestly hope that
he will be removed from public life.
In getting certain appropriations he
has simply done his duty for which
he has been paid.
Ii there ever was more remark
able conclusion arrived at 10y a more
remarkable process OF reasoning. we
have never had the pleasure OF butt
inc up against it, However, it is
about as good as any other reason
We have vet seen vouchSafed why
Senator Martin should be defeated.
and in the absence OF any better ar
gument thinking peoplewill beforced
to endure such specimens OF logic I'M
til after the primary. We only Won
der that this phenomenal reasOner
did not 90 on and charge Senator
Martin with the death of General Lee.
for indeed it seems TO Us, by analysis
similar to the foregoing. that ii Cen
eral Lee had been elected Senator he
would not have been Consul General
TO Havana. and ii he had not been
Consul General he would not have
been Major General in the |. ;.
Army, and if ne had not been Major
General in the army he would not
have been president OF the James
town Exposition Company. and as
overwork i'll the performance OF his
duties in this capacity is alleged as
the cause OF his death. We have by a /
process of reasoning. exactly similar
to Mr. Evans. arrived at the prime /
cause of Gen. Lees demise What |
next ,
