Plague Spots of Virginia.
(Communicated.)


The saloons of Virginia, located i'm
eleven of the one hundred counties of
the State, are veritable plague spots,
and bring u blush of shame to he face
of every true, moral, upright citizen
of the State. That the saloons are
plague spots of the deadlest charac-
ter, can be seen now in Pocahontas-
twentyodd in number, gathering
about them the worst clement of the
races and violating every principle of
local option and self government,
about which the allies of the liquor
business-the self-government league
of Richmond-is bowling and sending
out their literature to the voters of
the State, hoping to deceive. But, ah!

say more liquor is sold where the law

are lawless or liars, according to their
own testimony. Can prohibition pro

All railroads do the same thing. The

The Seizure of the Canal Zone.

The New York World is running
series of carefully prepared articles
showing the genesis and the develop
ment of the plot to oust Colombia
from Panama and acquire for the
United States the right to build and
own n canal across the Isthmus of
Panama. Not great deal that is
new is being brought out, but tho
value of the effort consists in the fact
that the story is connectedly written,
and that evry material statement in
the story is supported by indisputabe
documentary evidence.
The story shows, as was known be-
fore, that under the influence of Will
liam Nelson Cromwell, attorney for
the French Panama Canal Company,
President Roosevelt was won over to
approving of conspiracy set on foot
by that company to effect, revolu-
ton in Panama, and accomplish the
very thing that was accomplished,
namely, to sell to the United States,
for forty million dollars the rights
and proprty of that company, leav-
ing Colombia out of the bargain. Mr..
Roosevelt is shown to have used the
navy of the United States to overawe
Colombia, and force her to submit to
the outrage against her sovereignty.
In denying Colombia the right to de-
fend her interests against the Panama
Canal that had brought about the
revolution, the United States also re-
fused to pay Colombia anything for
rights which Mr.. Roosevelt himself
had previously acknowledged to ex-
ist, and for an honest indemnity for
which Mr.. Roosevelt is now pillory-
ing the Democratic administration and
calling Colombia's claim blackmail.
Mr.. Roosevelt has boasted that he
"took" the canal zone, and went
ahead and built the canal. The proof
is ample that he did this very thing.
and it is to heal the wounds he there
by caused hat n former Republican
administration and succeeding
Democrats administration have nego.
tiated treaty whereby we are to pay
Colombia in full satisfaction of her
just claim the sum of twenty-five mil
lion dollars.
Those who have failed familiar
izc themselves with the history of the
seizure of the canal zone may now do
so by reading the articles in the New
York World, which ought to be pub

hail in n very few minutes. Apples,
grapes, etc, were beaten Off as if Il
had been the fall of the year. While
the hail, wind and rain were at their
worst the hills were shaken by loud
and frequent pca!s of thunder and
several trees were struck. If anyone
doubt the effect of this hqistorm, let

was from about Five Oaks west to

distressing. On Saturday and Sunday
