SDCpu.utGrs vs.. Schools.

The General Assembly during its late
session very wisely and Justly appropriated
to the public schools OF the State $500, 600
OF the money paid into The treasury by the
Norfolk and Western Railroad Company.
! repeat, "Wisely and justly" because no
cause can be more worthy OF State support
than that Of public instruction, and be
cause some years ago nearly million OF
dollars were ted-unintentionally,
no d0ubt-from school funds already col
lected and used Tor other purposes. Is not
the obligation to return this money TO the
schools as sacred and binding rs any bond
holder can urge:
1t is much TO be regretted that a company
OF bondhoIders who, no doubt, received
their share in this unauthorized distribu-
ton OF school money, should now bring
suit to prevent its return 20 its lawful own
crs. Can there be more than one issue TO
such a suit! VIII not law and equity both
decide that inaSmuch as this money was
wrongfully taken from the schools, It's law
iul owners, it must be returned, and ought
not TO be stopped IN tr0nsitu? But further,
il the Legislature did not intend this recent
appropriation As the remedy for wrong OF
long standing-in other words, suppose no
abstraction OF school funds had ever oc-
currcd-can the bOndholders equitably en-
Join this money: Admitting that they had
n right to cnjoin the railroad company from
paying the money TO the state until courts
had decided which should become the
payee. have they q shadow OF claim to il
after being paid to the State and by it le-
gally appropriated TO third party who
owes the bondhOlder nothing?
The Readiuster party claims to be the
special friend OF the free schools, and it
really has some claim 10 the title. Can the
Democratic party, through its tribunals OF
justice, afford to defeat this measure OF
relief and tardy act Of justice to the schools
As a general thing we have good school
buildings, but in the rural districts there
is utter restitution OF school furniture.
Many Of our county boards had intended
under the sanction Of the state Board OF
Education, TO provide suitable and neces-
sary school furniture with the money ac-
crUing 70 their respective counties from
this fund. Cannot the ease be decided in
time for IL to do thi, before the opening OF
another session OF the schools? JUsrITIA.

The Philadelphia Telegraph reports that
at the Butlcr-C County Republican Nomi-
mating Convention two Independent Re-
publicans were nominated for Assembly ;
that q resolution approving the CAMERON
ticket was voted down by two majority,
and cheers were given for STEWART, the
Independent candidate for Governor.
When the Convention met at night TO
count the vote, many independent dele
gates being absent, modified resolution,
approving the regular ticket, was adopted.
The Republican County Committee in But
Ter is Independent by two majority.
The New York Tribune says:
$50 far as there are any changes reported
they are in favor OF the Independents. In
the Cumberland and Wyoming valleys
great gains are reported for the lndepend-
ent ticket. It's candidate for Governor lives
in the former, and his popularity among
the people who know him best Is shown by
the fact that in 1880, when he ran Tor State
senator. his majority was 1,001, while Gar
fields was only AS. Garfield polled the
full Republican vote, but Stewart drew
from all parties. III Tie County Vi II Iinhliu
eight members Of the regular Republican
County Committee have resigned and
Joined the Independents. They are
headed by The best political organizer
in the county, and their withdrawal
leaves the Cameron party virtually without
county organization. In the Wyoming
valley the situation is equally striking.
The Independents took the field there very
early. Three days after the Philadelphia
Convention they held a large meeting at
Wilkesbarrc, at which the wealthiest man
in the city presided. and the strongest man
politically in the county. Charles Parrish,
gave his adhesion 10 the Independent
cause. Mr.. Parrish is very rich coal OPP
orator who employs directly and indirectly
700 men, and is manager Of the Phila-
dephia and Reading railroad, which en-
ploys $1,000 men,"
These are encouraging signs, but CANE
RON is hard fighter. Let him do what he
will, however, he can hardly prevent the
Democrats from gaining in the congress

The Lcaf.Tobacco Trade, Again.
RICHMOND, VA, May ~, 1907
To the Editor of the Dispatch:


To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Allow me short space to notice the
statements OF "Tobacco" and " PLANTER"
THE receipts, inspections, and sales OF
Virginia leaf in this market up to tins time
exceed i'm each case those OF last year ~
several thousand hogsheads, as shown by
the official returns OF warehouses, taDulated
ot the Richmond Tobacco Exchange. This
result has taken place despite the shortest
crop ever grown in the State, tax agitation.
and unusually high prices.
As TO sales in the Tobacco Exchange, this
institution is Of thirty years standing, and
this trade has experienced as much pros
perity during portion Of its existence as
during any period OF its annals.
This much, without being welded TO a
continuance Of this institution.
agree with "Tobacco" in the desire
for as much planters trade as we can Sc
cure. lie j. far out In tracing causes and
effects, however. Methods OF business are
often condition precedent to prosperity,
but whilst necessary oil themselves will not
bring it, Our loss OF planters trade was
originally due to tire homestead exemption
in the Virginia Constitution OF 1869. This
made IT impossible to make, with security to
planters, advances on their crops TO be sold
i'm summer order. Our sellers were threat
cned with loss OF trade OF upland tobacco
il they solicited planters tobacco. and our
buyers made no preparation to handle III
winter order, as is universally done in the
upland markets.
To secure the planters tobacco, organ
lied agreement is necessary on the part OF
our large buyers to buy all Virginia tobacco

done. and sellers will seek all the planters
tobacco they can get, surprise will be the
result Of the effort.
"Tobacco seems not to know that the
Cincinnati market is chiefly n dealers
market, very little planters tobacco reach
ing there.
i can only Surmise whether "Planter"
is not ms much or mOp "deaer" than
"Planter." Whilst this does not at all
matter. | would suggest TO both "Tobac-
Coz and " Planter" that the interests OF
the Richmond tobacco market will be bet
ter consulted by it, members taking coun-
sci OF each other within our trade, rather
than by calling in the general public 10
decide matters with which they have little
knowledge.
Too often statements are made TO the
public not to influence the members OF the
trade but for effect outside, and the injury
in this direction for the past ten years has
been great.
respectfully suggest that what is want
cd i more enterprise and work and less
discussion.
The most perfect system in the world,
however important as foundation-stone,
without these added, will moi bring Us the
results easily within our reach

The frequency OF unexplained accident,
upon many Of our railroads in this country
has become, very properly, a subject Of
study with The officers who manage these
great thoroughfres in the interest OF the
travelling public.
II has been shown by actual experiment
that many OF the cataSirOphes which have
shocked the land and darkened the hearth
stones OF happy hOmeS-tO say nothing Of
the destruction Of valuable prOperty-ha
been caused by blindness.
In the northern States a remedy has been
applied, and the result has proved to be
thoroughly satisfactory. A rigid eXamna-
ton has been instituted, and the question
has been settled as to whether the authori-
ties in control Of any designated railroad
can rely upon the eyesight OF conductors,
engineers, firemcn, signal-men, and section
masters in the regular conduct and bust
ness Of the road. Among the people this
method of inquiry has, OF course. occa-
stoned q sense OF relief. II is pleasant TO
know that the officers supervising line OF
travel are solicitOus' about the lives and
property Of their patrons.
Why cannot the same method OF inyesti-
CATION as TO fitness be adopted by our
southern roads The examination would
not be unnecessarily costly, and the know
ledge Of the fact rs All evidence Of thought

pleasure by all the people.

The Republican Split I'm Pennsylvania

PHILADELPHIA, June G.-EX-Attorney-
General George Lear, who was permanent
chairman Of the regular Republican Con-
yention at Harrisburg, has written TO
Chairman Cooper, OF the State Committee,
a long letter in reference To Mr.. Cooper's
call for re'issembling OF the Convention
on June 2lst to nominate a candidate for
congressman at large in place OF Thomas
NJ. Marshall, who declined. Mr.. Lear
says that he will not attend the Con-
yention; that Mr.. Cooper had no
right to call il without authorization
OF the State COMMITTEES; that the conyen-
ton is "defunct body" and new one
must be called, composed OF delegates
elected In the manner prescribed by the
peace conference at the Continental Hotel
and approved by the Harrisburg conven-
ton. Mr.. Lear severely criiicises the
methods Of Senator Cameron, and says the
salvation OF the party depends upon
whether both the regular aud independent

ORGANIZATION in war and politics is the
means by which the forces at the leaders
command can he most successfully utilized.
The difference between trained band and
raw militia Is the difference between sys-
tenn and no system. With the numbers in
sympatby with us, there never ought TO be
a doubt rs TO the issue OF an election IN
virginia, and yet, sometimes trusting more
TO LOYALTY and enthusiasm than to dis
cipline. we arc discouraged where we
ought 10 he confident, and confident where
we ought TO he apprehensiyc. We do not
know our own own strength; we over
estimate the enemy's; and we suffer the
loss Of tinid and hating voters, who, with
iust a little attention, would come TO the
polls in our behalf. II we could secure
prcpcr organization we would always Know
where we stand, and not have to trust 10
the reports OF those who, however honest,
not having informed themselves, know lit
lie or nothing as to what vote can be polied.
The time is fast approaching for adopt
ing rlans and putting them into operation;
and as beginning the active and earnest
Democrats OF each county and city ought
10 see that they have faithful committee
and diligcnt superintendent. In some
counties the party organization Is torpid.
II ought not TO be so. In those iocaiities
even where we appear to be IN hopeless
minority great good can be done by the
true voters being brought into commune
cation with each other by sending them ac-
counts from other sections, and by buoying
their hopes by sounds and signs OF activity
oil around them.
Richmond is the place where the start IN
more complete organization ought TO he
made. II is not only the capital and largest
CITY OF the state, but it is the stronghold OF
the Democracy, and is, or ought TO be, the
centre Of influence. Here we have good
superintendent and committee; yet the
voters are not organized as they might be.
Last year we gave DANIEL 5000 votes. 1t
was possible for us 10 give him 1000; and
while we perhaps did as we'll as other Sec
tons OF the State, we might have done bet

party machinery. The ward clubs we have
are very useful, bit we need more OF them,
and what we particularly want is precinct
clubs or bands. In each OF the twenty-one
precincts Of Richmond there ought to be
working band, and they ought TO make it
their business to find out who are regis
tered and who arc not; who have paid the
poll-taX and who have not; who are able
TO pay it and who are not, and, finally, to
bring the men 70 the polls. The plan ought
to aim at subdivision and thoroughness OF
work, and especially at interesting the
young men who have As yet had none OF
the honors Of the party.
All this, however, is matter for future
consideration. For the present let Us hear
what Richmond means to do not only that
she may poll her full vote, but that she may
be shining example.
Let lis have suggestions; then let the
City Committee select the best plan, and
then 20 to work all together and inspire
other cities and counties to do likewise.
