TUESDAYS FIGHT.

The battle on Tuesday was for the
House of Representatives, which the
Democrats have won again.
But besides this, the people of this dis
trict have two great things to crow over ;
One is holding the fort against the Radi-
Gals in our local contest, and the other is
the great victory of Democratic conserv-
atism in New York in the election Of
Hewitt against George, the Communist
The loss in Virginia will turn out to
be a gain 1t will give us that tonic that
our confidence in false principles finds
in defeat, and the next time the peo-
pie will find more vigorous and
Straightforward platform and better men

WHY Railroad Ties Rot.

The subject of the introduction of metallic
railway ties as an imperishable and econom-
zeal substitute for the present article has led
an authority in this line to write that, after
much track walking and observation OF
the condition of wooden cross ties in various
STAGES of decay, he concludes that the prlnci-
pal cause Of their short life is not natural de-
cav, but decay fastened by frequent LAGER
alton and breaking of the wood fiber by the
rail spike. the breakage in every instance be-
inc from the surface, which is unsbeltered
from weather and subjected to constant
strain from passing trains. Experiments N
stone and iron ties. he says, have proved very
unsatisfactory, the wood tie being declared
by railroad men unequaled. Anything that
win render the service Of the latter more
lasting must prove a great boon His own
observation leads him to believe that rail
chair which will prevent the mutilation Of
the tie in question, and at the same time
avoid the strain and wave motion impaired
10 rails by passing trains, will add to the av-
erage life Of the wood tie nearly 100 per
cent. and would at the same time decrease
the cost of track maintenance. New York

ENGLAND'S DEMAND.

Lord Salisbury's demand that the Car
shall cease his coercion policy towards
Bulgaria appears to be final.
The Russian autocrat is warned that
his browbeating of an Independent State
must cease, that he shall not exercise a
lot more control over Bulgaria than be-
longs to any other power represented in
the Berlin Congress, that his agent, Kaul-
bars, must withdraw, and that his war
ships will debark troops at Varna or bonn
bard that city at their peril.
This position of England at once
changes the vacillating diplomacy Of
Turkey into positive defiance of Russia.
Italy has already declared her inten-
ton to back Lord Salisbury's demand,
and the Bulgarian question assumes the
character of a direct issue of war or
peace

SPECIAL AND PERSONAL.

John Wise said in court yesterday
that he demanded the indictment OF
Mullen for libel.
Mullen certainly has a case of libel
against John.
And as John is counsel for Mullen to
defend him in a libel case, the situation
represents the consistency of Hon. John
5. Wise's position.
1t is time for change from old-fogy-

Another reason is the appointment of
old broken-down party hacks.
Another reason is the morbid timidity

Publishers Of cheap literature--so-called-
have finally come TO the conclusion-so We
hear it reported that 1t does not pay. Or
course it docs not pay, and, what is more, as
il is managed at present, it will never pay
any one. We are in favor OF low priced
books, and believe that America will always
lead in this direction, because Americans are
a book buying nation: but he who thinks that
literature is cheap because he publishes or be
cause he can get quarto, twclvemo or SIX
teenmo book printed in iliegible type, on
flimsy paper and indlfferently put up in paper
covers-in the making OF which, in one word,
every requisite Of good book making is dlsre-
garded-for from 10 to 20 cents, IS mistaken,
if ever q man was. Such work does not pay
the publisher for the trouble of getting 1t into
the market: booksellers handle it under pro-
test and the public buys it-with a mentai
reservation.
What is wanted is an honest book, honestly
made. II the book be by living writer,

his work should be, of course, the first great
sine qua non. If the work be one on when

InOcracy.
FREE CITIZENSHIP is THE FIRST
LAW.
NO.Party Can Go Against 1t.

To the Editor of The Times:
The lesson of Tuesdays elections ought
to be sufficient to wake up the under
standing of dead man. All over the
State an apathy prevailed amongst the
white people which is simply unparal-
leled. There must have been some cause
for this. The cause lies upon the sur
face and is apparent to the naked eye.
Those who have been thrown to the sur
face by the political commissions that have
agitatcd Virginia within the past ten
years and who, by accident, have come
into control of the Democratic party,
have sought to embark the people of the
State in an enterprise of defiance OF law.
The refusal of so large a part OF the
white people to vote on Tuesday is moth
ing more nor less than a declaration by
them that they will not be embarked in
any such venture. 1t is declaration by
them that they demand a government OF
law, and that they will not tolerate Il
government of the mob. 1t is notice to
the executive department Of the govern
ment of Virginia that no mans will is
superior TO the law of the land. and that
no man shall defy that law in the name
of law itself. We solemnly warn the
Democratic party that it must change its
policy to one that demands an obedience
to law by the highest as well as by the
lowest, or its hold upon the government
of Virginia will pass away as surely as
we have another general election.

The contest between communism ana
conservatism in New York city Will be
a memorable one in the political annals
of this country The victory OF conserv-
atism is represented by Hewitt's 10000
majority. which is 10000 more than
Roosevelt's, while George got only 5000
and Roosevelt 100000
The total vote was 21S,96O.
But the analysis Of the vote in a city
where the issue was distinctly felt means
that George, with all the sensation and
his work among the laboring men, and all
the ingenious fabric of sophistry, was
defeated by an immense majority.
Thousands of the workingmen voted
for Hewitt understanding intelligently
the real issue, while the property ele-
ments were divided between Hewitt and
Roosevelt.
The moral is that the American idea is
understood.
1t means that our free country gives
the laboring man all the opportunities
possible under a system OF free lnstltu-
tons; that the practical working Of the
idea is to bring character and ability to
the top without any Of the restricting in
fiuences of aristocracy and class priyi-
lege.
And it means that such a beneficent
state of society would be impossible if
Mr.. Georges communistic ideas were car
ried out.

4 PARTY WITHOUT PRINCIPLES

Il / Il
One of the greatest of men in all the
tide of time said that demagogues might
catch brief success on a false idea; but
that a cause to triumph must always com
mand respect.
What negative illustration of the
thought there is in the late defeat of a
victorious party in this State
The people had arisen and asserted
the power of right over Malone ring'poli-
tics with the idea that we would not tole-
rate what we all understood by the name
of "Bossism."
Now what are we to attribute the loss
of Democratic districts to
Plainly to the total abrogation OF the
fundamental idea of freedom which we
asserted in 1888.
The Democracy comes into power with
two-thirds majority in the Legislature
Instead of a plain, straightforward
statement of facts, it puts forth manu-
featured sensation against the creditors
and a declaration to maintain the Riddle
berger bill after that fraud was failure,
with all the nursing that we could give 1t,
as the adopted parent of a tramps off
spring foisted on US by the terrible neces-
sitv of 1888 when the Federal Govern
ment offered as the alternative the hor-
ror of negro rule.
After three victories, and after Malone
deprived of his power in Federal pat
ronage), had become a nothing, the
Legislature, scared with ghost, took
counsel of their fears and allowed the un-
fortunate policy" to be started.
The policy" means that while the
creditors of the State offer to settle on
the basis of the surplus revenue, we must
ignore the offer and force the State into
reputation in the interest Of few party
officials, who announce their intention to
nullify the law of the United States after
the manner of 1861.
What can be the consequence Of the
policy" if forced any further?
Nothing but the utter defeat of the
Democratic party; for the manhood Of
Virginia, when the facts are known, will
never tolerate the idea of terrorizing citi-
zens out of their rights.
