equally divided between advances and declines.
There were few slight further advances, but the
whole market almost Immediately became very
active and weak, and on very large transactions
the majority of the active list declined over per

The Petersburg Inder-Appeal and other
papers which advocate "free books for free
Schools as we'll as several members of the
General Assembly, are threatening US with
disaster to the democratic party as the re.
suit of the failure of their pet schemes. To
all such we commend the following, which
concludes on excellent article in the Rich
mond Dispatch:
"The declaration In the democratic plat
form of last year In favor Of free books ls

than the declaration in the same platform
against any increase of taxation, direct or
indirect" And since it is confessedly i'm
possible to furnish the books at public ex-
pense without increasing the rate of taxa.
ton, the democrats in the Legislature are
compelled to disregard the one or the other
of those pledges. Therefore, for the reason
that it would be much wiser to educate all
the children than to furnish with books aud
educate two-thirds of them, the General
Assembly can safely adopt the former poll
CT. We are pledged not to increase the
taxes. Let us keep that pledge. If we
keep it, we cannot keep the pledge to fur.
nish school books free. But we can do bet.
ter. We can greatly improve the public
school system. Again, we say, let this be
the basis of wise compromise"
On the day the democratic State conven.
ton met, we implorsd its members not to
commit the folly of initiating the Malone
ties in their declaration for free books, and
suggested, as an Offset, measure which
would be really beneficial and far more pop
ular-the extension of the school term, now
far too short. For some reason our advice
was disregarded, and the party now finds
itself in dilemma. 1t is pledged to fur
nish free books, but that pledge cannot be
redeemed without increased taxation, and
against that it is also pledged. There is, it
seems to US, but one way out of the difficult
ty-the democratic way of reference to the
people. Let the people of each district
vote upon proposition to tax themselves
for free books and upon an alternative
proposition to increase the length of the
school term, and every district in the State
will prefer the latter. Once tried, long
terms will never be abandoned. By the
advice OF it's Arst county superintendent,
Alexandria county fixed it's school term at
ten months, and when the General Assem-
bly, limited the district tax, obtained a
special act allowing the districts, by three
fourths vote, to tax themselves to the ex-
treme constitutional limit, five mills on the
dollar. No school in the county has ever,
We think, had less than an eight months
session, and few less than ten, yet the peo-
pie are so we'll satisfied that three votes in
the entire county is about the maximum
opposition to tax, which, In one district.

ideas. By improving the civil service is

during which time every department of the

it was reared. By honest money Is meant a
dollar that will buy as much as gold dol
lar, next year as we'll as now, and about the
stability in the value of which there need be
no concern. By reducing the tariff is meant
reducing or entirely removing the duties on
the necessaries of life, so that the cost of
living may be lessened. These are demo-
cratic principles, and the democratic party
Ia pledged to make them operative if posi-

the existing tariff by which the price of al
most everything the people have to buy is

eyes, she saw good-looking brakeman
on top Of slowly receding freight train

woman, who seemed TO be Of filrtatious
disposition, smiled sweetly and waved
her hand at the handsome brakeman, who
rose from his seat on the brake
and again waved his hand, this
time with much greater en-
ergy than before. The young woman,
evidently battered, acted as II under a
charm, while the brakeman continued
waving his arms as II possessed. She
stopped and fumbled In her pocket for a
