The Next Senate.

There are twenty one senators to bt
elected next November, including one
10 the Norfolk county district, and one
in the Nansemond district. Both these
last districts repudiated Malone last
week. There are twelve Democratic
senators holding over, and the Senate
consists Of only forty members. The
Democrats need to elect only nine sem
ators, therefore, IN order to control the
Senate-nine out Of twentY>One. The
two districts named will furnish two OF
them if the results of last weeks elec-
tions are TO be accepted as test. (aud
the question now under consideration
Is whether those elections were a Goa.
lition defeat or not.) The Sixth, Twelfth,
Fourteenth, Twentieth, Twenty-secOnd
and Twenty-fourth will certainly furn.
sh six others. Then we shall have a
chance to carry at least half Of the fol-
lowing Overwhelmingly the Second,
Fourth. Sixteenth, Eighteenth, Twenty
sixth and Thirty. fourth. Why, there
fore, should the Democrats of Virginia
not exult over their victory oflast week?
Why should not all southern Democrats
rejoice because Virginia has reioined

We publish in this issue, comments

We publish in this issue, comments
of the Press, at home and abroad, up
on the result of the recent election in
this State. 1t Is evident that the re-
turns are not only not encouraging TO
the boss and his party, but that they
strongly indicate that Maboneism has
lost It's hold, as a political power in
Virginia. While Shenandoah gave an
increased coalition majority, the coun
ties composing the 18th Congressional
district gave a democratic majority
fact that indicates that the Dem
ocrats can and most probably will,
carry the Seventh Congressional dis
trict hereafter.
This should impress upon thq
Democrats of Shenandoah the import
lance Of thorough organization and uni
ceasihg work until Shenandoah is again
enrolled among the democratic coun1
ties OF The State. With the full demo-
cratic vote at the polls, 1t will be im|
possible for the coahtiOnists TO securd
such a majority in this county as they
did this spring.
The State will be democratic, and
with the proper effort, Shenandoah will
be with the ruling power.

THE prospect of Democratic success
in 1884, becomes more encouraging,
The sweeping victories Of the democrat
tic party in the North, last fell, gave
unmistakable evidence of the fact that
the people were tired of the corrup.
rule OF the republican party. These
victories, The republicans attempted to
attribute to local causes. Local dis
salts faction, we have 10 doubt. exerted
its influence, but The sweeping charac-
ter OF the victories showed that there
was not only local, but general dis
satisiactiou-with the republican party.
Arthur recognizing tie weakness Of
his party in the North, attempted to
gain fresh support in the South. His
alliance with Malone promised en-
couragenent IN Virginia, but The effort
at The Spring elections, Instead of
bringing new strength 10 the party,
was so decided a repulse, that many of
the papers, of both parties, OF The
North, considered it the death blow to
Mahonelsm. That the blow was as
severe as il was unexpected cannot be
denied, but those who are acquainted
with Mahone's persistence and that of
the party which is led by him, know
that be will not be destroyed by a
single blow. II will require persl,-
tent effort, and constant labor upon the
part Of The democratic larty Of VirsiHia
to secure a complete and final victory
over Mahone and his party.
The resul: of the late election i,
highly encouraging 10 the democrats,
but it Is not complete victory, So
lsDg as NahCne has his organ izalion
in every county of the Safe. so long
must be be watched and fought. with
an energy equal TO that which has kept
his party alive. That Virginia will
finally repudiate him and his party, we
believe there IS no doubt, but domo-
Gratis cannot affoid TO rest upon their
oars before The goal has been reached.
So long as he has his forces ready for
defense or attack so long must the
democratic party be in line and prepar.
ed 10 fight in defense Of the principles
upon which the liberties of the people
are dependent.

Legislatures of several of our States
have, 10 order to reduce the cost OF
keeping convicts, converted the penl-
tentlar,es into extensive manufacture
ing establishments. Looking at the
subject with the single idea OF saving
expense to the state government, II
would seem to be wise plan; but
when it is considered with reference to
a large class OF citizens who have
placed their capital in legitimate man.
ufacturing enterprises, the policy clear
" appears to be one OF doubtful pro-
priety. While the state does not be-
come a manufacturer in It's strict sense,
it furnishes labor and superintendent
of labor to manufacturers at a lower
rate than other manufacturers can pro-
cure the same labor. It's effect is to
break down the. legitimate manufac-
turer who pays fair price for his labor
and, in this way, supports not only
the laborer but the family which is
dependent upon him.
We cry for more manufactures, but
will any sane man invest his capital 10
a mandatory when he knows that he
will be compelled to compete with con-
Wet labor which is furnished his rival
at less than one half the amount he
must pay for the same labor? 1t dis
courages the mechanics, aud really in
jures the general prosperity OF the peo'
pie. The intelligent mechani; knows
that be must support himself and fami-
ly and at the same time appiy.a por"
ton of bis labor to the support OF the
conyicts who are used to break down
the prices of his wares. To such an
extent has this policy been adopted in
the North that the manufacture OF GER
tain lines of goods is almost exclusive
Up confined TO convict labor.
Is it not a short sighted policy :
Can We afford, in order 10 save the
comparatively small amount necessary
10 support the conyicts, to drive from
our state large manufacturing enter
prises that would support thousands Of
hands and contribute greatly to the
general prosperity Of every class -four
people?
Convicts are generally sentenced to
hard labor. Let the labor be. such as will
not Interfere with that of honest labor
ing men even If it should not prove so
profitnple 10 the state. We can better
afford 10 pay a small tax, Tor the sup
port Of convlcts than to encourage
monopolies that are enriched at the ex-
pense of the honest, laboring people of
the state. We are glad TO see that
this subject is beginning to attract the
attention of the people. not only in
Virginia, but 10 other states where its
injurious effects have been more ap-
parent. A full investigation of its
effects will demonstrate the fact that
while we are demanding protection
against the 2auper aud convict labor of
Europe. We are building up among our
selves a number of monopOlies that
Will, If permitted to continue, become
a more dangerous opponent Of cur
manufacturing enterprises.
