At Manassas what memories come "'''"' I rushiug, iroopintt, crowding apon '^ 1 the uiind, siirririjj the benrt, thrill-i ing the whole bein^ ! What kalî '. (ti)-»copic picture passes before (he • mind, touched here and there with I ™j the crimson of liati'e atid blood, | ^ j j ^

i shadowed now with gloom, then il-• j lumiufd with a j^lory as fadeleatj I em the Ktars.

Memory travels on magic wing baclclotheday when theoa Nort lmr nm of the na'ional horizon the wist

I nitrD caught the vision of a spot likt ! unto a tnau's hand, dark and omin ; ous of evil for those who loved the I land of their birth aud the conatita • tion framed by the fathers.

J. H. BURKE & CO.

The spot spread into a dnrlc i pd lowering cloud, across which e w -and anun shot angry and threat; iug flashes of the lightning of f taitic and sectionE>l hate, wbile ihe voices of (hose who stood au s.iake in the national council* for |

HAS THE DRAGON C A P T O B E D

ST. GEORGE?

rr.til recently,. we have never I. iibted the honesty and integrity

: iVesidect Roosevelt. altbonKh we .: ve fiequenlly questiohed bis judg-::;c!it. To us, be has always seemed ;. !)e so thoroughly conscious of his • I,M: rectitude", tbat\he doubted the ~v;ceritv of those who differed witb

We have closely watched bis .r r trom the time t^ served

. -'t New York as ii'>lice -•i.uner until then :;tolerant and impetui

be nieqnt

rupt practices, add t« actively, and if need be, aggressively wa{e war on any systetn which be foelicveii militates agftinst the highest good of the whole people.

We are not nadertaking ip this place to judge Mr. Slillmau or hi* associatejt. Neither are we weigh ing the inerits of the Standard Oil Company. Bttt the. fact is, that Mr. Stillman, tbaa whom jiooe \* more potent in shaping the destinies of Standard Oil, itlbeiargest stock holder In the Ouliook, which Mr. Roosevelt is to « i t . Mr Roosevelt's dcnounciatfcns of Standard Oil, both in coonlctioa with a recent decision of tl|c courts and Mr, Rockefeller's anniooncement of his tention to soppon the rcpablican candidates are q(yloo recent date to need commeift.

Verily, it is seems that the &erce and raging Roosevelt is abont to be mnzzled, and that the St. George who went forth to slay tbe dragon has been captnred.

,and somt

limes doing harm whe ; 1 dn good, we have always given ',.:n: credit for good impulses.

But the announcement that he is t enlist under tbe hannej of a St.indard Oil magnate causes a dis-

:'.c'. shock of disappointment) 1; is all very well to say .that as

•. ::-.or of the Outlook, he will voice i::c:re!y bis own sentiments, and will •.,_t be inflaeuced by the vieWs or . .oupatioD of its owneis. But is ;.;> or can this be true?

Jan Editor R.L)0!ieveIt use the per which is rtin with Mi. Still-

::..ii;'s money to urge that Mr. Still-r.,.it; be sent to jail? Ought Mr. K J jsevelt to crucify the owners of ' e Outlook on the croas of public

nlon through the medium of that r .an which tbey provide with Minted money?" Does any one for

. moment expect that Mr Stillman any one elae will famish Mr.

: osevelt with tbe neans of adver--•.•.\% to the reading public that he

- an "undesirable citizen." It ciay be true that Editor Roooe-: will not prostitute his brilliant

..ents and stnltify his conscience proclaiming ia his editorial col-

.::> the rigbteoosoeas ol a caose J'.Ks hitherto denonnced. It is te unlikely that aa ed<tor he will

' ract any vitriolic deooanoement !'ne men who are to become his

vpoyers. No ooe seriously bees that be will solemnly wage ve warfare in defence of a class

- has heretofore excoriated with-:t mercy and without stint. But ao editor owes a duty to tbe

tfaWart justv

TBNNBSSBB JDSTICB. A dispatch frdm Nashville, speak

ing of tbe Carmack tragedy says: "For every frittid claimed by tbe dead Senator, t le Coopers boast one. The partizaos af the living are as numerous as tl ose of the dead.''

Well, whaTbf it ? Suppose that Senator Qarmiick bad bfcen a social >««rtcast, a poliiical pariah. Is that afly reason why his slayer should go unwbippe<| of ju.stice "^ Will the guilt of Robih Cooper and of those charged aa his accomplices \ie. determined byia primary electioQ, or by the relative popularity of the slayer and slain?

We thiuk jsuch a suggestion does great in j ust j|« to those charged with

tion of the laws in It is unfortunately true pf this character public

l^^ly influences to

'of'Kv-irf.. But we public clamor can cr defeat its ends in

that commcbwealth to any greater extent than In any other state.

Those newspapers' which seek to prejudice public opinion and to njould public sentiment in the com m unity wheie the trial will take place, whether or not witb a con-scions v iew,^ controlling the verdict of the r ry^ of ruling of tbe judge, merit the most uBmeasored scorn of evert law-abiding citizen, and sbotild at ptmiafa as they so richly desetvtf^.

We ere in receipt of a thirteen page circular letter from the Manufacturers' Record, exphmatory of Mr. Archbold't wholesale subscription to that periodical. We want it distinctly understood that neither Standard Oil i ^ any one else has paid a subscriptjon to T^B JotntKAL three thousand \t»x% in advance.

Speaker Byr^ wants it distinctly understood thatlhe is entitled to the credit for all of t|ie desirable featiucs of the "Byrd L4w," but ia not re-sponaible for am of its objectioaa-bic pfoviaions. 1

If Mrs. G n n n ^ is not dead she oiqtht to be.

MR. EDITOR.-;-! am not and

never have been a candidate for the position of superintendent of schools That place should go to a younger man, "a man of cê work" who can give it all bis time, a man who has

:)1:c not only to refrain from ad-' ^•<' experience- in teaching, and I think George G. Tyler, will fill the bin as welt as anj man I know of.

There waa once t countryman who went lo visit his friend in ihe city In this city there were electric cars, and motor cycles and devil wsgons and fire engines and fast carrisges and vsrious other contriv ances having for their object the msiming of human being aod the destruction of humsn life.

Now the countryman j»ot having the niufe lives of a cat, bad a very tender regard for a the one life he had, and waji very active in dodging these desth dealing machines, which wh'Zzed sround him with a kaleido scopic effect. Alt of which afforded tbe city man much mirth, aa he af-fe<ned to think it absurd and countrified to exhibit alarm at tbe •ight of these engines of destruction. According to the city code of p r ^ prieties, it is better to be killed than to run.

After awhile, the ineviuble hap-psned—it always does.

I.'ENVOY,

Though the.city man mocked at the nervous timidv and precautions of bis country friend in his lifetime, the countryman lived to mourn over the untimely deat h of his city fnend.

The buildings in both lowns will be belter for the fire, but that is small comfort to any one who lost all. and no comfort at sll if a s ngle life were lost. Will Herndos .continue to wait as these other t6wns did ? As we said last week this is somebody's bitsiness. Mayor aqd councilmen get no pay for attending the public duties, but that fact niakes their responsibility the more I honorable and patriotism more praifewcMtby.

From Waehington'Herald.

The analytical expert of our es teemed contemporary, the Baltimore Sun. has.to say, among other things about the mixed election result in Maryland:

. "Robinson's plurality.is 599, and with 2,656 more he would have had 3,254 plurality, and it is clear that be would have bad to have had that much to pnll the other eight electors

Mr. Taft the full fruits of his victorV."

Clear? Why, it gets clearer every minute. Figures don't lie. Yes; Robinson "would have bad to have had" 2.656 more and the other eight "would have had to have had" 3.254, and one of tbe eight on the other side "would have had to have had 2,656 less, and the other seven. • would have had to have had" 3 , - ' 254' tess, and lên~we " woiiid'have had to have had" to reconcile ourselves to a different result altogether.
