AND NEW YORK IS HAPPY.

1t is well known that young John
D. Rockefeller has been the foreman of
a grand jury in New York, which was
particularly investigating, the "White
Slave trade, "or the trafficing in young
white women for immoral purposes.
The report has come in and has receiv-
ed some attention from the press. New
York was sore over the thing at first.
Mr.. Rockefeller is noted only as being
the son of another Mr.. Rockefeller
who has to some some extent enslaved
the world, let alone the United States.
He has been industriously engaged in
running Sunday-school and it was
d he would make New York,
ashamed Of herself. His trend Of mind
was such as make him especially seek
to destroy any organization dealing in
white slaves, and show the thing in
its blacklist shape. At the end of his
enquiry, Judge O'Sullivan of the court
said in discharging that grand jury,
'sthis is merited rebuke of the SLAM
derers of the cleanest and greatest city
in the world" 1t is gratifying that
Mr.. Rockefeller was obliged to report
that no organizations of this kind ex-
listed there, though individuals to some
extent banded together for this pur-
pose were carrying on such trade. 1t
is hardly possible such organizations
could have had more than what the
railroads call ''gentlemen's agree
ments." Nobody supposed there
would be anything else. Gamblers do
not band together. Yeggmen have no
real organization. White slavers would
not be expected to go further. Mr..
Rockefeller has, therefore, labored and
brought forth mouse, and New York
is happy in being proven to be the
scleanest city in the world. 1t DER
tainly takes small things sometimes
to make New York happy.

What Backache Means,

Generally backache means that the
kidneys are diseased. If they are, do
not waste q moment, but begin at
once treatment with Kidnets, the
dies. Delay may mean fatal ending,
so do not delay. Druggists and deal,
ers sell Kidnets at SIC box, and guar
antee satisfactory results.

COL. MOSBY DISMISSED.

The dismissal of Col. John s. Mosby
by the Taft administration, will not be
a Strengthening movement with it in
the South. 1t is possible that Col.
Mosby is old, that his efficiency is not
as great as it once was, but the repub-
lican party got all that the prestige of
such appointment gives, out of him,
and now, like the old horse, he is
turned on the commons to de-. This

A NEW POLITICAL PARTY.

Where there is SO much smoke there
must be some fire. Now, too, that Mr..
Roosevelt has agreed to go to Indiana
TO help Senator Beveridge in his fight,
we are more and more certain there is
a political cloud rising. Mr.. Beveridge
is one of the insurgents who has car
ried his insurgency into the senate in
a manner that tells. He is with Dol
liver, Cummins and others, who are
fighting the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill.
He is one of those who has been accus-
e i of desiring to see new political
party. The aid of Mr.. Roosevelt thus
given strengthens the almost universal
belief that there will soon be a new
party, and that MI. Roosevelt will
lead it.
In the August number of the Crafts
man, Gustav Stickley, the editor, says:
1.-THE birth in the near future of a
new political party, formed by the
blending of the progressive elements
that have attained such prominence in
both the old ones, is now almost GER
tainty. The majority of the people re-
gard it as the next step in the reform
movement; the old-line politicians,
even " lille they affect to sneer at it as
impossible, are afraid of it, and show
that fear by wavering uncertainty be-
tween the policy which yields sufficl-
emily to public opinion to pass some OF
the progressive legislation that is most
urgently demanded, and the other ex-
RENE of uncompromising hostility to
everything and everybody that threat
ems the supremacy of the old order. In
spite of the political clamor, there is
no lodging the fact that the American
people, irrespective of party affilia-
lions, are even now arrayed in two
great factions, one of which stands
doggedly by the old-time political
methods and organizations, hoping
that the storm will blow over as other
storms have done, while the other is
battling for honest government under
the direct control of the people, and
the conservation of those natural re-
sources upon which the wealth of the
nation depends"

Madrid, July 8.-With the preseD-

ready signed by King Alphonso barr
ing new religious orders from the coun-
Impending concordant negotiations,
Spain, SO long the worlds foremost
Catholic power has challenged the
Vatican at Rome.
The challenge is to str uggle which
is believed here to be as serious as
that which took place in France
where the fight lead to the expulsion
of all religious organizations.
By the step today, Spain definitely
takes the offensive in the negotiations
with Rome regarding the concordant.
The situation is unprecedented on
the Iberian peninsula, for a hundred
years the stronghold of the Roman
Catholic church. Acute observers
state that it is but the result of the
forces which have been steadily at
work in opposition to the church ever
since the war with the United States,

Washington, D. G. July 9.-Col.
John S. Mosby, who distinguished
himself in the confederate CAUSE dur
ing..the- civil war as a daring guerrilla
fighter, and who in the early part of
President Roosevelt's administrati N
was appointed a special attorney in
the department of Justice, has lost his
government position. The reason
therefore has not been made known,
but it is understood old age was the
main cause of the dismissal.
Col. Mosby is 70 years of age, al
though his friends say he still is &C.
tive and energetic. He has made no
appeal to be restored, although this
is deemed probable, and the president
and the Attorney General may be
asked to intervene. The colonel, it is
said, may now devote his time to
writing book on the civil war, in
which he took an active and pictur-
esque part.

Very Violent Storm

One of the most violent storms of
the season occurred yesterday after
noon at a little after three O'Clock, at
which time, in the short SPACE of
thirty-five minutes, a rainfall of one
and one-haf inches was registered at
the local weather station, and electri-
cal discharges of unusual severity
caused considerable damage. Lewis
Creek, at places threatened to over
flow it's bands and the streets during
the height of storm, looked like
creeks. Elsewhere in the columns of
this paper will be found an account of
an unusual bit of damage done by
lightning at the Virginia School for
the Deaf and Blind. It is not known
whether any other places in this vi
cinity were struck, but the vividness
of the flashes and the deafening peals
of thunder would indicate that an
electrical storm of considerable pro-
porto was upon us.
