GEN. ROSSER.

The death of Gen. Thos. l.. RosSsr,
which occurred last week, removed
peculiar figure from the scene of hui
man action. AS cavalry officer in
the Confederate army he achieved his
first and most lasting renown. His
Confederate uniform was his greatest
asset, and it stayed with him till he
himself cast it off. In Staunton at
meeting of Confederate veterans some
years ago, and we believe the last he
ever attended, he grew furious over
some imaginary aff'ront given him in
the hall. He left it, and went to the
front door, where with approbious cpl
thets he denounced the assembly, tore
off his badge and would have tram
pied it under foot but for an old Con-
federate soldier who stood by, who
asked him to give it to him. This Gen.
Rosser did He left for home shortly
afterward and had nothing more to do
with that meeting.

bravery there can be no doubt. That
he was typical and chivalrous caval-
ry Office there can be no doubt. He did
many daring acts during the war and
saved the day on several battlefelds,
and had he revered the cause as he
could easily have done, his death would
now be sincerely incurred by almost
every man who wore the gray. But
Gen. Rosser was impetuous. He al
lowed his temper to get the better of
his judgment on many occasions, and
nearly always to his detriment. In
later wears he was in need. He then
eschewed nearly every former utter
ance, seemed to apologize for his con-
duct from 1851 to 1855, and like many
other Southern men who have taken

The Senatorial Outlook.

| The Washington correspondent of
the Lynchburg News says: The Repub-
lican Senators with terms expiring
next March whose seats are considered
in most danger of passing to Demo-
cratic successes are Chauncey M. De-
pew, of New York; Charles Dick, of
Ohio; John Kean, of New jersey; Ma
than B. Scott, of West Virginia; Will
liam Warner, of Missouri; Elmer j.
Burkett, of Nebraska, and George S.
Nixon, of Nevada
Senator Depew would like a re-elec-
ton, but it is not likely to come in even
for consideration by the Republicans of
the Empire State With the legisla-
tive scandals at Albany and the gen.
orally unsatisfactory condition of the
party in New York, the Republicans
will have to put their very strongest
man forward if they expect to control
the legislature. 1t is because of the
gravity Of the situation that so many
New York Republicans are anxious
that former President Roosevelt should
consent to stand as a candidate for the
Senate.
In Ohio Senator Dick is a candidate
for reelection, with fair chance of re-
ceiving the Republican nomination at
the primaries next May, that method
of "whipping the constitution around
the stump" being up this year tor its
first trial in Ohio. Democrats are
counting on the popularity of Governor
Judson Harmon, however, to carry the
Legislature, and it will remain for the
November elections to determine
whether Ohio is to have a Democratic
Senator for the first time since the days
of "Cal" Brice.
There is nothing much the matter in
New Jersey except the general political
unrest and the lack of personal popular
ity by Senator Kean. He is in absolute
control of the Republican organization
and if Republican Legislature Is elect
ed he will be returned to the Senate,
but until recently New Jersey always
was classed as a doubtful State, and
New Jersey Democrats declare it is
fully entitled this year to that classi-
fcation.
Senator Scott's fight is more against
Republican opposition than against
the posi- of a Democratic victory
in West Virginia, but the fight is so
bitter that the election of Democratic
Legislature is not beyond the pale of
possibility. Missouri, of course, is ma
turally Democratic State and the cleo
ton of Warner to the Senate was in the
nature of an accident. Missouri DEM
ocrats count with absolute assurance
on sending Democrat to success him.
The situation in Nebraska has many
complex phases, and the chances are
counted very strong that either DEM
ocrat or Republican with pronounced
insurgent leanings will succeed Bur
kett. William ]. Bryan is talked of as
a Democratic candidate, but Represen-
tative Hitchcock claims to have Mr.
Bryan's assurance that the latter will
not enter the race. Burkett, as the
saying goes, has tried to carry water
on both shoulders, and though he is a
for reelection his chances |
are not regarded as very promising.

The splendid rain of last Sunday
gladdened all nature. There was dis
tressing drought. The roads in March
were more dusty than perhaps ever be-
fore seen and forest fires ragged in the
mountains, stretching miles and miles
in their lurid splendor. 1t has occurred
to some that the comets tail may be
warming this planet just now, as that
closer to mother earth than ever before.
