WHY?

Why is it that Coalitionist who has
once acted with the Democratic party can
not say who be will act with hereafter
Is he too great man Oh, no Many
great men in Virginia will answer that
question promptly. John S. Barbour will
tell you in a moment what party be is 60
ing with. John F. Lewis will tell you as
quickly. John Randolph Tucker will tell
you. Judge Robert W. Hughes will tell
you. Judge Rives will not hesitate. The
most prominent Democrats or Republicans
in Virginia will tell you who they are
going to vote with in 1884.
Is he too humble man ? Hardly. 1t
can't be the lowliness of their position that
makes them refuse. Go to any Negro in
the Coalition party and ask him, and he
will tell you In an instant that he is going
to vote for the Republican candidate.
Surely, the former Democrat has as good
. right in this new party to say what he
is going to do as his colored brother has.
Surely, the acme of Bossism hasn't been
reached by an order closing the mouth of
the White man and loosing the tongue
of the Black. The Negroes Of the Coali-
tion who are Republicans are not only not
ashamed, but proud to say so. MOI man is
left 10 doubt in public meetings where
the majority of them stand, if an orator of
either side so much as addresses a ques-
tion to the galleries. No one has forgotten
a scene in Staunton in 1880, in which :.
after glowing description of the pros
poets of success Of the Mahone-Hancock
ticket in Virginia, given by Hon. John
Paul, Hon. James Fl. Skinner turned to the
gallery and asked ''if they were going to
vote for Hancock" and received terrific
'sNoI" which covered the Coalition orator
with confusion.
Then, if the Coalition Democrat" is
not too great man. nor too little man.
perhaps he is too willy man. And that is
just it. He proposes to vote the way. go
the way, and talk the way that William
Malone does--the vote is for the Repub-
lican candidate of 1884, the route is by a
false pretence of the State debt still being
in allegiance, and the talk is intended to
deceive Democrats into bis support next
fall so as to make the State secure for 1884
That, and that only, is the true explain
alton that in the Coalition party 1000
Negroes have the priceless liberty of
speech as to their intentions in the next
Presidential Election, and 10000 Whites
are obliged to keep their mouths shut.
The Bottom Rail is indeed on top in the
Coalition, and the white rail at the bot
tom not only has to lie still, tbut keep it's
mouth shut.
A most degrading and notifying situa-
tion for white man who, in his time,
has had the privilege Of both voting and
speaking his opinions and intentions in
the great National Democratic party Of
the United States, which is now in con-
troll of twenty-five out Of the thirty EIGHT
of those States.

THE NEW POLITICAL PRfN.
CIPLE.

The new and great political principle
now prevailing in Virginia politics is at
tracing attention in and outside of Au-
gusta.
Is it the State debt? No that is set
tied.
Is it the free ballot? No that was deci-
dad two years ago by the repeal of the
capitation tax.
Is it free speech? No that was defnite-
ly settled two years ago by clubbing and
pounding the Hon. John E. Massey, over
sixty years of age, at various hustings in
the State.
No it is none of these. 1t is the old
cast-cff aristocratic family government of
the old Democracy. 1t is the Fifty Dom
inant Families" principle, 1--WE quote from
u. S. Senator Riddle berger-) 1t is the
principle of the Coalition party doing all
the work at tue polls, and select few Sc
Iected from selected families wearing all
the honors and pocketing all the emolu-
ments.
1t must be great comfort to the young
men who left the Democracy because they
couldn't wait for recognition" to s.weat
and labor at the polls to carry the State
and then see the members OF the select
families gazetted after this fashion:
To one Augusta Family for gallantry
on the political field, Nine Official APP
pointme1ts.
To another Augusta Family, Six Of1ic-
ial Appointments.
We commend this to those Democrats
who went into the Coalition On the plea
that the Democratic party was Family
ring in which the VOL kers for its success
were put aside to make room for those
pushed forward by family influence. We
commend it to those gentlemen who take
off their coats and whoop up the voters
for the Coalition at the twenty-six pre-
cincts in Augusta county, and are band
somely remanded to the lucrative posi-
tions of registrars, road surveyors and the
like.
You know this list is true and not to be
contradicted; the names and offices in Au-
gusta can be given if any Coalitionist
wants to dispute it. And now we COM
mend to those Coalitionists who are OPP
posed to this sort of thing just to keep on
their coats and omit their work at the polls
in November and see how the county bosses
will come out
Let the people keep their ewes open for
the Bourbon Primary on the 8h of Sep
TENDER. and keep severely away from it,
Valley Virqinian Of yesterday.
This extract from our Republican con-
temporary ought to open the eyes of the
Democrats Let every Democrat repair to
the Democratic primary on Saturday,
September 9Th. Make point of doing
what the enemy is afraid you will do.

EurnI weather sIgnnIs.

The United States signal service has long
considered projects for rapid and economic
display of rural weather signals. The matter
has at last been solved it appears by Mr..
Alva II. Doan, a clerk in the pension office,
who has hit upon a plan, both simple, mex
pensive and almost immediate, To carry it
into effect, the cooperation of the war and
postoiice departments will be necessary, and
the use of series of four flags, to be known as
farmers signal flags" The flags are to be
displayed from the sides of United States mail
cars, which pass rapidly and continuously
over the country on the great net work OF
tracks, and will be understood by agricultur-
lists as follows; White flag, clear weather;
blue flag, fair weather; red, doubtful weather,
and black, stormy weather or high winds.
The signals can be ordered up from Washing
ton by telegraph and the cost of the entire
system would be insignificant, Mr.. Doan will
probably present his views to Gen. Hazen to-
day.
The foregoing was shown to Gen. Hazen by
a REPUBLICAN reporter last night, and he ro,
marked that the plan was u very good and
feasible one, and intimated that it might be
adopted by the weather service.

The New Issue.

Eight years ago the people of the United
States guaranteed, as they supposed, equal
rights to all citizens, white or black. The
civil rights bill was intended to answer that
purpose. The supreme court of the country
has decided that the people did not do what
they intended to do-that the civil rights bill
is Of no effect foE the purpose for which it
was passed. 1t simply remains for
the people to do over again, and this time to
do cflectually what they Intellectually at
tempted eight years ago. The republican
party gave freedom to the negro, made him u
citizen, and attempted to give him equal
rights with white men before the law. 1t is
for tho republican party to finish tho work,
whose beginning is the glory of that party.
There can bo no doubt as to the in
tention of congress in 1875. 1t was
its will and the will of the people
that no man should be prescribed on account
of color. 1t is the natural, logical work OF
the republican party to sec that the will then
expressed, and which to-day exists, shall not
| be defeated. Whether the result shall be
accomplished by different legislation or by
another constitutional amendment is mat
ter to be carefully considered, but when it i:
ascertaincd what means will be effective fol
tho end proposed those means are to be
adopted. 1t is not conceivable that this nation
is unable to give equal legal rights
to all its citizens. The men who began thai
work. such of them as are still living, are the
supposed that everything which could bt
done by legislation for an oppressed race haG
cover their mistake 1t can be said, withou
criticising the supreme court, that its decis
ion was unexpected. 1t was hoped
for only by those who opposed tn,
abolition of slavery and the fourteenth
amendment 1t will be regretted BY
every man who supported those measures
The supreme court intimates that ii tn,
states pass laws denying rights to colore(
men, then congress has authority to coun
teract the effect of those laws 1t leaves ou
of sight the much more probable danger tina
tho state courts will not give the colored MAJ
redress. In such case what is he to do? Th
republican party has that question Il
answer. 1t is the new issue.

Manufacture OF Steel Cables.

The bureau of equipment and repair of the
navy department is making active prepara-
tions to commence the manufacture of steel
cables at the United States naval ropewalk ut
Boston. The department is now engaged in
experimenting with American wires, aud just
as soon as a quality is found which will
answer the requirements work will begin
Tho English government is already manu-
featuring steel cables, which are as pliable as
hempen rope. The advantages of steel cable
as compared with iron, is that the weight i:
much less, while in comparison with hempen
or manila it is much less bulky. The navy
department is trying to get American wire
manufacturers to got their test up to that o.
the best English wire, and the probabilitie!
are that they will succeed.
