The Campaign.

contemporaries, the Winchester Times and
Petersburg Inqer- appeal have given notice
that, so far as they are concerned, the APP
preaching Canvass shall be conducted on q
higher plane than has been customary in
Virginia for some time. Their example
should be followed by every newspaper ana
public speaker in the State. Personal abuse
never yet made vote for the party that
employed it. In nearly every instance it
reacts disastrously. The repeating of stale
ISLANDERS, and yillainous abuse of persons
will have an effect directly the opposite of
what was intended.
The issues that divide the two national
parties are clear and distinct. 1t is upon
those issues that the contest is to be de-
cided. They afford ample scope for the
exercise of the most brilliant intellect,
and their full, free, and fair discussion
will serve to educate the people. They in
volye the interests of all classes. They
affect rich and poor, high and low. Their
forcible presentation will leave no room
for sectionalism, for elimination and re-
elimination, and for the indulgence of
that class of campaigning which appeals
only to the prejudices or fears of people,
and the tendency of which is to degrade
Frather.thani elevate the masses.
1t is only the little minds, incapable of
comprehending principles, that will be
forced to the refuge of the mediocrity of
the mnd-slingers. The party which under
takes to profit by such tactics deserves to
be defeated.
In this canvass we want to see the cues
tions discussed in a manly. intelligent
manner, and we want the people to render
their verdict in accordance with the
dictates of reason and judgment.

not himself, he cannot look his creditor
in the face, he cannot look the market

debt. Running in debit" says an old
minister, sis the first sin, for running
into debt leads to lying" 1t leads to
many other sins, it leads in great many
instances to self-dcstruetion, and of the
very large and lamcntable number of
suicides that have occurred of late the
majority have been caused by running
into debt. If ncedful, wear an old
coat longer, live on simpler diet, take a
palmer house, rise earlier in the morn.

sweet life itself, keep out of debt. Elk.

A Soldiers Bright Idea.

From the Detroit Free Press.
One day soon after the second Bull
Run and Chaniilly, private soldier be-
longing to an Ohio regiment sought an
interview with his captain, and an
nounced that he had plan fora militia
ry campaign, which must certainly re-
suit in crushing out the rebellion. The
officer very naturally inquired for par.
ticulars, but the soldier refused to re.
veal them, and asked for n chance to
lay his plans before Pope himself. After
some delay he was given pass to head
quarters. He did not get to see Pope,
but after the chief of staff had coaxed
and promised and threatened for quar-
ter Of an hour the Buckeye stood up and
replied
Well, sir, my plan is for John Pope
and Bob Lee to swap commands, and
if we don't lick the South inside Of sixty
days you may shoot me for patent hay
fork swindler!"
When he returned to camp he was
naturally asked what success he mel
with, and he ruefully replied;
oval, they had II plan Of their own.
"What was it?"
d" Why, they took me out and booted
me for mile and a half"

Mr.. Dana's Income from the

From the Washington Capital

From the Washington Capital.
! learn that Mr. Dana's income from
the New York Sun is not only princely,
but that it is exceeded only by that of
Mr.. Bennett. When Mr.. Dana took
hold of the Sun he made a contract with
the trustees to edit the papcrat II salary
of $40, 600 year. lie had then some
twenty shares in the paper. Said he !:
"Now if the profits of the paper are
large think ought to haze IN interest
in them outside Of my salary, and | pro-
pose that all dividends above twenty.
i've per cent. shall be divided, and thu,
| have half" The It ok odrs, to
whom u dividend OF twenty iilc per
cent. seemed not only very large, but
very improbable, said " Why, of
course, if we declare any dividends over
twenty-five per cent. you shall have one
half" "Will voa make contract To
that effect for ten years :" sud VIZ, Da-
ma. The Stockholders agreed and the
contracts were made.
Within two years he paper paid over
fifty per cent. and for n uu'nlcr ni
years has not paid less lhao eighty, The
ten-ycar contract expired IL year or two
ago and it was renewed With this
change, that Mr.. Dana gets one-half
of all the dividends over forty per cent.
| hear, on the hest authority, that Mr.
Dana's share last year, including his
salary, was 1907 600.

Political.

At Ripley, Tenn, the other day, the
Democratic Convention to appoint dele
gates to the State Convention of the
18th of June, endorsed Gov. Bate, and
instructed for him, and also instructed
for Tilden and Hendricks. Also, the
resolutions were for "I'arif' for rev.
enuo only" This is mixing things
largely. We are for Gov. Bate on any
platform, and we do not mind if Iilden
and Hendricks should be re-nominated
and would rejoice to see them elected
again and not be cheated out of their
Offices as they were before But this
senseless exp ession-" Tariff for rev.
enue only,"-might better have been
left out the jackson Dispatch hits
the nail on the head when it says:
"There is one thing certain, unless
the extreme democrats abandon their
Impractical position on the tariff and
agree to unite on middle, conservative
ground, concerning that question, there
will he u division in the democratic
ranks which will blast all hope for the

year. In order to succeed we must have

country demands to-day. Now if You

South which is more in favor of tariff
reform than the Dispatch. We are in
favor Of reforming and revising the |
high protective tariff of the republican |
party. but we are opposed to tariff
which repudiates all incidental protec-
