When one remembers that we are the people who one hundred and twenty-five years ago indicted, in our Declaration of Independence, King George the third of England for this, that te bad—“refused his assent to laws the moit wholesome and necessary for the public good, and bad “made judges dependent ou his will alone for the tenure of their offices and the amount and payment j of their salaries,” and that he had “erected a multitude of new offices | and sent hither swarmq of officers to hirrass our people, and eat out their , substance,’” and had—“kept ainoug us in times of peace stauding armies without the consent of our legislatures.” and had—“combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution.and un acknowledged by our laws, Ac, aud had “imposed taxes ou us without our consent;” aud when one also reuitmbers that for these and other kindred reasons we declared him a . tyrant, and declared ourselves free aud independent States, then one is tilled with wonder as we yiew wur q- posiiiou to the Filipinos, Cubans m t> II* __ m 4. I/— ....

j|. alia I uuu nitauo w-mwj. count enumerated above is true agaiust the McKinley administration as to some one or ail ot the different peoples above referred to. We have taxed the I’orto Ricans without their consent, and then the Supreme Court has decided that 1‘orto Rica is a part of the l uited States to be governed inside or outside of the guarantees of the Constitution as Congress sees tit. As Mr. Dooley remarked, “The coustitutioa may not follow the Ihg, but the Supreme Court follows the eleetiou returns, and that’s no jok»!” Iu Cuba and iu the Rhilipiues we have quartered standing aiuiies iu times of peace. Iu Cuba and in the I'hilipiues we have erected uew c dices and sent swarms of carpet baggers to till them and po'st-ottice peculations have already resulted iu Cuba. We have allowed McKinley to uarne aud appoint Judges whose tenure of office aud amount of pay is subject to his sovereign will. We have kuocked th.* stuffing out of the Cuban Constitution with the I’latt Amendment. Yet on the glorious fourth of July just i assed, the American Ragle pruned himself just as proudly the orator orated just as buucombely as when that day really meant souurhiug. There was as much pratiug * of the glories of liberty as when we really were a nolle example of freedom, asking nothing iu the way of conquest, yielding nothing iu the wav of liberty. Dur broken pledges aid badly crippled philanthropy

w is draped iu the stars aud stripes and covered over with big words and so unding phrases. -Mark llauna ; n l McKinley and certain elements of the Supreme Court have “blue pencilled” the declaration of Indepeudtnce aud the Constitution to suit the money powtr of this country. We hope Thomas Jefferson's rest has not been disturbed. A CORRESPONDENT of this paper recently suggested the name of Mr. Lloyd T. Smith in eonnectiou with the Attoruey-Ceneralship nomination, and straightway oue or more of the machine organs, iu pursuance of a policy which they luvw persistently followed for some time past, seized upon the opportunity, which they preteud to believe was thus afforded them, to create the false impression that that gentleman is secretly harboring a purpose to become a candidate for that nomination, and that his friends are contemplating spnugiug his name upon the Norfolk Convention. Mr. Smith would doubtless scorn to notice such malevolent insinuations, and to those to whom he is personally known, or who know him by reputation, it is wholly unnecessary that he should do so. His splendid ability as a lawyer was testitied to,and his conspicu- * ous services to his party recognized, when, four years ago, every county in the First Congressional District, unanimously urged his nomination for Attorney-Cent ral. Then he was an open and avowed candidate for

toe mgn uonor—now is is weuknowo that he is not a camlidate and could not t>e induced to become oue. Verily, the balked and disappointed followers of a crushed and repudiated political organization are in a pitiable couditiou when they must resort to such means to accomplish their detestible and very thinly disguised ends. The proposition to ehauge our organic law as to do away with so many elections scorns to meet with general approval, and no doubt some step looking to this end will be takeu. The News is not iu favor ef making fewer elections by makirg offices appointive, for we believe m > choose their own public servants, but we are in Jfavor of so adjusting the terms and. tenure of offices as to do away with the almost constant re* ccr.ence of elections. We are not,

so sure that it is a bad thing to keep the people stirred up on public questions. In fact we believe nothing u so dangerous as political apathy. But, from an economical point of view, so many elections are certainly objectionable, and many of these elections do not involve any new questiou of public interest which could uot be settled as well, once in four, as once m two years. For instance, we can see no necessity for having to re-elect a constable, magistrate or supervisor every two years, any more than there is to elect a treasurer, Commonwealth s attorney, or sheriff every two years. Elections are costly things, and in so far .8 they can be rendered infrequent without injuring the public interest, we approve the move. The repeal of the twc-cent stamptax on checks, the tcn-cent stamp tax on certificates, aud the stamp-tax on deeds whose consideration is less tbau §2500, is generally hailed with exceeding great joy by the general public. The ptople in rural coiumunittea have not been so much worried about the amount of the tax on these various papers, as they were about getting the stamps. It was a decided over-sight that no public local depositaries of these stamps were provided for when the law wms

passed, Ilau every pose-master ueeu provided with a cert-in number of stamps of certain denominations, or had the clerks tf courts even been authorized to hold th.ui aud sell them for a certain remuneration much of the difficulty would have been obviated. As it was, it was often impossible to secure such stamps as were required, aud the people aud business of rural communities suffered :u constqtience. The repeal therefore of certain portions and the modulation of certaiu other portions of the War Keveuue Hill is a great relief. CALUO. On Wednesday last, July 3rd, Mrs. T. E. Ashburn, of Call-o, \ a., tendered to her brothers and sisters a reception and reunion. The family consists of nine children, all married aud residing in different parts of this State and Maryland, and have not met together for twenty jears. The afternoou was devoted to childhood reminiscences, and the pleasures of the afternoon was one that will never be forgotten. At noon the hostess invited them to a sumptuous dinner, tfte cuisine consisting of all tiie delicacies of the seasou. In the evening music and recitations were furnished by the Misses Ashburn and Miss Lula Winstead, after which wine, cream and fruits were served. The brothers aud aisttrs pr<sent, with their husbands, wives and children, were as fed low t: Mrs. T. E. Ashburn, Mr* Cnatavus Hudson.KinsaU: Mrs.

Mlmaraock Dramatic Club Returrs Thanks. Editors Xortkem Xeck Xttcs: 1 wish to use your columns to express our many thanks for the courteous and hospitable manner io which we were entertained while at Sharp’s Wharf, July 4th, 1001. We regretted very much wheu the time came to depart, and as we stood on the deck of steamer Richmond, and looked back we deplored the fact that we were leaving a people, to whom we bad become endeared during our short stay in their town, and we sincerely hope that the entertainment proved a success in every way, aud as time wings itself away we pray that Gcd may bless the people and church fcr which the entertainment was given, aud if it is our good fortune to be with them again we shall be glad, and to qnote the language of Henry Grady in his famous speech, “The latch string hangs cn the outside of onr doors to von a .d yours.” Very sincerely, Kilmarnock Dramatic Troupe.

COLONIAL BEACH. Yacht Kace—Nates ©a the Foarth— Persoaals. Tbe Colonial Beach yacht clnb held it* fi'st rac«> here on July 4tb. Ten boats were entered for the race, but only eight started. Tbe contestants were “Minnie May,” Captain R. C. Miller, who sailed the fifteen mile coarse in 1 hoar 35 miuutes 5 seconds; “Martha,” CapL Lester Lee, 1 hour 18 minutes 20 seconds; “Rosa Chilton,” CapL Edward Cox, 1 hour 36 minutes; “E. S.

Joe Miller 1 hoar 50 minutes 10 stconds; “Greyhound,” CapL Clarence Rome, 1 hour 44 miuutes 15 seconds “Edna Earle/ Capt. Watt Lee, 1 hour 32 minutes. Capt. C. F. Bryan, G. F. Fewell and V. F. Lee were the judges, and the first friz? which consisted of the Hag of the C. B. Y. C., and onefourth of tbe prize money, was awarded to tbe “Martha,” the second prize which was one-half of the prize money was awarded to the“Edi a Earles.” and tie third prize, which was one-fourth of the prize money, was awarded to the “E. 8. Croswell.” The race was wituessed by a large crowd ou the pavillian, along the front and from the excursion boat. Tbe judges and time-keeper C. S. Rowley occupied the music staDd ou the pavilion. At 8 30 the club held a tanquet iu the dining hall of tbe pavillian, covers were laid for 140. The club cous-sta of forty members with Capt. C. F. Bryan, President. P. 8nvder. Treasurer. V.

F. Lee, Secretary and C. S. Rowley tirue-keeper. The club proposes to hold a senes of races during the summer. The Xtws feels indebted to .he officers aud members for the courtesies showii its cot respondent. The fourth found an unusual large crowd here which had been arriving for seveial weeks past, and was so greatly augmented by the large number of country people that came in to spend the day aud the excurs oniste from Washington that our town preseuted a gala appearance witn its hundred of yards of bunting and other decorations, aud the tri-jolors were boating everywhere. All tne hotels aud boarding bouses were oeaulifully decorated during the day, and brilliantly illuminated during the night, but none presented a finer display than the Johnsou House ou the frout where the patriotism and artistic taste of the mauug- r was brought iu. This house was tilled to its utmost capacity aud crowds aud crowds that would liked to have shaded the hospitality of this hospitabl: hostelry and beeu fatiued ou its broad piozzos by the tool I’otoiuae bretze were compelled to srek accommodations elsewhere, but all did a good busiuess. The day was right warm, but Dr. Kell mauaged to keep the temperature of the crowd down to the normal with bis delicious ice-crtom teda, ice cream and other refreshments. The very best of order prevailed daring the day and night, and we think tne town should be complimented for its efficient police force. A large number of country people remainad over to witness the pyrotechnic display at night which was the grandest ever seen here, and the illuminations could be seen for many miles out iu the country aud ou the water. Mrs. X. B. Miller has opened the Ceutral House on the corner of Boundary street and Bancroft ave. Councilman Stant and not excouncilman. as we inadvertently re

ferred to him some time ago is entertaining his friends as usual iu the Cushing cottage with fried oysters, deviled crabs and spring chickens. Mrs. M. B. Grasuau is receiving her share of the patronage and looking after the interest and comfort of her guests while the old Doc. is enjoying his cigars aud dozing in the hammock. The Doc is right stout aud the hot weather makes him “pant.” Capt. B. E. Jones spent a few days with his family here last week. The big hotel is lilling rapidly with boarders. Tory. KING GEORGE.

OAK GROVE. Death of Hon. G. J. Gonldnun—Other Notes. Hon. G. J. Gouldman, memb r of the House of Delegates and chairman of the Democratic County Committee, died at “Shellfield,’’ his home on Friday evening, after a short illness of typhoid fever. His remains were interred Sunday in the old familv grave yard in thcgaiden ol his home. Mr. Gouldman was <oo well known to need any aplogy from such a feeble peu as tlm and hi1 jss will be felt for a lonf time. H* was a life long Democrat, aud for « number of years past has been oui County Chairman, and as a leadei and aggressive worker he was almosi without a peer. For several yean he has been a strong advocate of »• new Coaslitutiou and was one of the few in this county, that worked to secure a majority in the election for the Constitution. As a citizen he was loved, respected and honored by all the community, as a public otticial he was pure, honest and fearless and one that would listen to the Detitiou of the humblest as quick as

the petition of tne greatest, lie served with distinction iu the confederate army, and was a member ot the Westmoreland Company. Tbe farmers are busy threshing wheat and some very good yields are reported. Mr. F. E. Omohundro made a yield of thirty-one from most of his field, ani J^Vph, his brother, who is u*w tbTeshing, is doing equally as well. They made an average of forty-OE« busfcjli of oats per acre. R. 0. Pendleton made a fine crop of wheat (750 bushels,) but the yield per acre was not quite as large as he expected. Squire Gutridge is recovering from his sick spell. W. C.

It may boa question whether the*editor of a newspaper has the right to publicly recommend any of the various proprietary medicines which Hood the market, yet as a preventive of suffering we fell it a duty to say a good word for Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera anil Diarrhoea Rcmcdy. We have known and used this medicine in our family for twenty years and have always found it reliable, in many cases a doge of this remedy would save lmurs of suffeting while a physician is awaited. We do not believe in depeiiuing implicitly on any medicine for a cure, hut we do believe that if a bottle of Chamberlain’s Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand and administered at the inception of an attack much suffering might he avoided and in very many cases the presence of a physician would not be required. At least this has been our exjMTience during the past twenty years. For sale by <i. Al . vdnor, Warsaw. An Epidemic of Diarrhoea. Mr. A.
