EAST pAsslNe AWAY,

There is something pathetic in the
statement furnished by Mr.. John N.
MILAN, Secretary OF the State Board
OF Agriculture, regarding the fast pass
ing away of the comrades of the Civil
War, says the Gassaway Times
Every ten minutes marks the muster
ing out Of one Of the gallant "boys In
blue every hour six of them hear the
sounding OF taps" for the last time,
and every day one hundred and forty.
four answer the last roll call; every
month four thousand, three hundred
and twenty have passed from scenes
earthly into the bivouac Of the dead;
every year flfty-one thousand, eight
hundred and forty have met the com.
mon foe and have gone down in the
unequal struggle, their warfare ended
for all time. Six hundred thousand
still survive, In thirteen years from
now they will practically all have sue
cumbed, and tho Grand Army OF the
Republic will know them no more;
their beloved organization will descend
to their sons and their grandsons, and
SO on until it, too, is lost in the flight
OF time.

cARPINe CRITICS.

"A few two by four lawyers and some
smaller editors have made the report
of Special Master Littlefeld on the
Virginia debt question pretext for
carping and continuous criticism of
the conduct Of the case by the attor-
neys for the State of West Virginia.
Until some one really competent to
crlttcise makes complaint 1t seems to
us the people need to pay but slight
attention to what is said. The critics
in the main are animated by personal
or political animus. Some say things
because they don't like Ex-Governor
Dawson; others because they wanted
to be called into the case themselves;
a few others because they think they
can gain something politically from
the outcome Of the case. Our honest
opinion is that the debt case has been
ably and wisely handled by West Vlr-
ginia's attorneys. We have no doubt
the presentations have been as well
made as any set of men could have
made them from West Virglnia's
point OF view. Attorney General Con.
ley says that Mr.. Littlefeld's findings,
II accepted by the United States Su-
prelne Court, would make West Vir-
ginia responsible for from three to
five millions of the debt. But the Su.
preme Court has not passed on this
case yet and 1t will not do so until the
matter has been gone into in minutest
detail.
We venture the assertion here that
no man connected with the case on
either side has contributed or will
contribute more Of real merit In con.
nection with the history and exist
ence Of the West Virginia certitl.
Gates than the attorney most criti-
cised by the carpers against the coun.
sci of this State, Ex-Governor William
NJ. o. Dawson. He may not be as
great lawyer as some Of his critics
think they are, but he is careful
student Of Virginia and West Virginia
history and his knowledge of condi.
lions is of especial value as attorney
for this State in the debt suit. 1t is
perfectly right and proper for people
to criticise when they know what they
are talking about and do 1t with prop
er motive but it is always we'll to
watch the critic who has an AK to
grind.

Folks there are and plenty who stand
off and gaze at Nebraska and say Col
onel Bryan is dead one, too dead to
skin. But the signs don't read that
way. 1t may be that Colonel Bryan Is
not destined to be chosen in the course
of long life to any office. But it looks
as if he were stirring up more trouble
for his party, especially for those mem =
bers Of 1t who want the issues handled
gently and gingerly, than any insurgent
is stirring up for the republicans. At
any rate, Mr.. Bryan is entitled to be
called the prince of democratic insurg-
ents. The Prince of Peace is his fav-
orite lecture but like many other folks
he doesn't always follow his own
preachments. Certain it is he is not
producing any particular measure of
peace just now in his own party.
