VIRGINIA DEMOCRACY -Oa Thursday.
November ist. Il Republican meeting was
broken up at Norfolk, by rioters. After
Gov. Wells and Hon G. N. Robson, Sec
retary OF the Navy, had addressed the crowd.
and while Professor Langston was speaking,
a disturbance was got Gp, and soon fire arms
were used freely. No one was killed, but
quite a number of whites and blacks were
wounded, some of them very seriously, sew
eral of whom have since died. The police
made an effort to queli the riot, but were
"verro0ored hy numbers, and failed to do
much. The attack was prameiita,ed, and
intended solely to murder iaoifen.iv4 Rcpub-
licans. This riot plainly indicates that the
old Democratic iesven of rebellion is still at
work in the South, which the nacnanimity
on the part Of the national authorities has
failed to appease; and which, the Secretary
OF the Nary Il of opinion. cannot he sub

"a Policy al Last,

The Administration of President Grant
was attacked in its early day, because, in
the words of dissatisfied Republicans who
were not appointed to Office, lit had no
policy" Pretty much the same complaint
was made by the opposition orators and
journals President Grant was 'imbecile'
and incapable. He could NOT either
originate great measure or execute what
was marked out from him BY wiser men.
He was no statesman" He was fond of
horses; did nothing but smoke and go to
the seaside, abandoning his duties as the
head of a great naticn. We were told day
after day that his elevation to the Presidency
was a blunder, and something worse than a
biunder. No derunciation was too severe /;
no ephithet was too contemptuous.
Nineteen months have passed, says the
New York STANDARD, aud Democrat and
Republican alike have found out that presi-
dent Grant has a pollcy-a policy which has
maintained Republican majority in the
FoIty-third CongI ess-a policy which de
stroys the hopes OF its political opponents
and inspires its friends with confidence and
enthusiasm, The country is just beginning
TO know and feel that it has the strongest
Administration since that of jackson. 1t
is policy of law and order aud good govern
mcnt. 1t means the collection OF the revenue
the payment OF the public debt, the reduc-
tion os taxation the protection of the
wo:kiDgman, the rurity of he ballot box
1t Is a policy which means that there shall
be an end to treason and rebellion, South as
vel! as North-a policy which means tha
the country shall be respected abroad, and
that the law shall be supreme at home. 1t
means economy in the administration of the
finances, and the punishment of crime every
where This, adds the Standard, is the
policy which President Grant has found,
and which he is fearlcssly executing.

1t is now confidently stated the various

to invite King William to assume The title
of emperor Of Germany. The German
empire, which had lasted with varying for
tune from the days OF Otho the First, early
in the tenth century, was formally dissolved
IN 1905 under the pressure Of the First Ma

William wi-ltake his place with Charemagne

that partisan rancor and bitterness may abatr,
and that The whole people of the State, with.
out respect to party, may unite fratcrnaly

to elevate her to the proud cmincncc which
she once occupied as member of the Amer

Dignity of Labor.

1t would seem that employment, from tho
morning Of creation, when God himself work.
cd and rested, aud when Adam was COM
manded to till tho soil and subdue tho aniu,a)s,
implies peculiar dignity aud honor. The
Mokor Of worlds blcsscs labor 1t is apos
toic, it is Christ like, it is God like to work.
No eystem of education is complete that does
not harden tho hand and toughcn tho muscle,
while it develops tho intellect and cnlarges
tho heart, The religion that shows nothing
but pale checks and lily white fingers, is not
the religion Of the Bible. Highways and
hodges are better sanotuaries for acceptable
service, than studies, and cloiscrs, and cells.
Scars and knots on the hands are more hon
orable than rings and gloves. Bronze out of
the sunbeams is more beautiful on the face
than rouge out of the shops. Only worker
attains the true symmetry, strength and glo.
ry of manhood or womanhood. Genius itself
ialtcrs in conflict with labor Industry has
the long end Of the lover that moves public
opinions, parties, congresses, and thrones. 1t
was men with brown faces and sinewy arms
that built the pyramids on Egypts plains,
reared the temple on Mount Morah, and
walled the Holy City with adamant, crcled
an Asiatic Empire with impcnetrabIc granite,
