Senator Foraker announces the cor
rect doctrine that the country is not
married to any tariff schedule, that the
tariff will be revised in good time when
ever ii is seen that such a revision is
really demanded, and that it will be
done, not by strong-lunged orators
from the stump, but by men, who will
study the problem and apply such rem
edies as experience dictates are needed.

ANDERSONyILLE. A
O'Den's Famous Picture of the Prison
Pen.

The National Tribune has secured a
few copies of O'Dea's fine picture of
Andersonville, the very best picture Of
that horrible place ever published.
Years ago hundreds of copies of this
picture were sold at IS apiece. There
remain only a few copies, and when
these are gone it will be impossible to
secure more. This picture Is five feet
long and three feet five inches wide,
and when framed would make an ex-
cellent addition to the furnishings of
any Post room.
We will send copy of the picture,
securely inclosed in stout tube. ex-
press charge prepaid, for a club of four
yearly subscribers. Address The Ma

McBryde has decided to leave Blacks
burg at the close of the present session
and accept the presidency of Sweet Briar
Institute. AS he is now in Jamaica for
his health and as all business matters
are vigorously excluded from his corre-
spondence, he is not in q position either
to confirm or deny this report. Having
been for some time intimately associated
with him in the work at Sweet Briar, /
feel safe in saying that he has not made
any dehnitt promise to the Sweet Briar
board, nor has he committed himself In
any way as to his future decision in
the matter. But for his nervous break
down, due to oyerwork it Is probable that
he would have announced his decision
before FMS, It Is certain that he would
wish TO study so difficult n question with
the utmost care. and that he Will event
ually decide it for the best interests OF
the State.
K feel iinpelled to make this statement,
for 1t is not credltable to his sense of
fair dealing to suppose that. while on a
leave of absence from Blackshurg. he
should have entered into an agreement
with the Sweet Briar board to accept
the presidency ON his return.
