Mr.. Stocking closed by proposing a motion
to commit this association to put forward as a
candidate for appointment as District Commits
sioner a resident of East Washington. The
candidate he named was Mr.. John E. Herrell
Mr.. Weller said that the appointment of Mr..
Herrell would afford as much pleasure to his
political opponents as to his political friends. He
said he conceded with most of Mr.. Stockings re-
marks, though in some matters he thought he
was extreme. Mr.. Weller said that the eastern
section of the city was not destitute of fitting
material of which to make Commissioner.
The important thing, however, was to secure
representation from that section. The indi-
vidual, at present at least, was not 30 import

THE SACRED PRIVILEGE.

II has been decided in New York that
voter may cast his vote for the Presi-
DENTAL candidate at one hour on election
day and for local candidates at another
hour. That is, he may scratch his ticket
one way In the morning and another way
In the afternoon.
AS far as We know the election laws
have nothing explicit to contradict the
principle herein laid down.
OF course, the real absolute right OF
the citizens is the foundation of all laws
on this subject, and it looks as if the
voter could vote as often as he wants to-
provided he does not vote too often on
the same candidate.
The Rhode Island law and the South
Carolina law stand on theory of educa-
tional qualification. The casting Of the
ballot is so arranged that.unless the voter
has sense enough to know what he is
voting for, the ballot will be thrown out.
The fact is that there is a great deal TO
he said in favor of pira poco voting where
the citizen asserts a right publicly sub
iect TO the challenge Of an objec;or.

vnlue Of The world,a Railroad..

The railroads Of the world are today worth
from twenty-five to thirty thousand million
dollars This probably represents onc-tC-th Of
the total wealth of civilized nations, and olc-
quarter. if not one-thiri, OF their invested
capital. IL is doubtful whether the aggregate
plant used in all manufacturing industries
can equal it in value. Tho capital engaged
in banking is hut a trls beside it, IT,
worlds whole stock OF money of every kind,
gold, silver and paper, would purchase only
a third Of rs railroad.
Yet these facts by 10 means measure the
whole importance OF the railroad in the mod
crn industrial system Tho business methods
of today arc in one sense the direct results OF
improved means OF transportation The
railroad enables the large establishment 70
reach the markets oil the world with It's prod
ucts; it enables the large cities 70 receive their
food supplies. il necessary, from q distance Of
hundreds or thousands 0f miles And while
it thus favors the concentration ~ capital, it
Is i'm itself an extreme type Of this cOucen-
tration. Almost every distinctive feature Of
modern business, whether good or bad, finds
in railroad history at once its chief cause and
its fullest deveiopment.-Sc

John W. DANIEL,

Senator Daniels speech last night had
the great advantage of putting practical
questions in very impressive form that
people can understand He stated the
nolicv Of the Administration as the one
thing that means sound Democratic prin-
ciples as representing the vital ideas OF
free Government and contrasted them with
the aristocratic ideas of the Republicans
and their class legislation in favor OF
monopolies that can grind the laboring
man down to the terms that corporations
exact from their victims.
The pleas for home rule in the South
was equally strong, and the speaker
oratory, as 1t always does, awakened the
feelings as well as the thoughts OF his
audience.

A reporter Of the Washington Star has
been looking over the field in the Sixth
district, and telegraphs yesterday from
Lynchburg that the Democrats will get
$500 majority in that district. He also
saws that Tucker Will carry the Tenth dis

thinks that the Democrats will win, and
that the Ninth will also be Democratic.

comparing this with other elections,
thinks that the margin in the State Is as

New York's parade of business men
nm Saturday will be very impressive.
One of the most interesting Of its fea-
tures is likely to be the appearance OF the
cleveland and Thurman Association OF
the Publishing, Bookselling and Printing

the association sets forth, it is especially
important and appropriate that these
trades should be well represented at the
close of this campaign Of intelligence

THE GRAND RALLY.

The brilliant parade Of the Democracy
yesterday and the presence OF Mr.. Bar
bour and many distinguished leaders oil
the party will give to the canvass what
1t has not yet had, little sound and ex
element. 1t calls the Democrats OF the
State to the consideration Of the ques-
lions involved in the election which IL
only twelve days distant from us.
These questions are National and local
but each belongs to the other, and there
are only two The National question is
an economic one, and matter OF high
taxes or low taxes, the Republicans all
vocating high taxation on clothes, salt
lumber and tin, and the Democrats favor
ing policy OF low taxes on those neces'
sary articles OF life on the ground that
we have $l5O,000,0O0 yearly rev
enue more than we need, ana
that the reduction should be
made where useless taxes are
hardest felt. The Democrats also want
raw materials let In free, IL order that
our manufacturing labor mag make the
various articles OF use all over the world
on the same footing as they are made IN
other countries. And we claim that the
American workman is entitled TO work
for the markets of the whole world, in
stead of being arbitrarily confined to a
home market controlled by the rich mo-
nopolists.
The prohibitory duty keeps out com
petition both in production and in pur-
chasing, so that the result is an artificial
adjustment of trade and production in
stead OF logical one
As to the Republican cry OF free
trade" we simply answer that there Is
nothing in the Presidents uiterances or
in the Mills bill that looks Ike 1t.
When we tax people the fundamental
principle is that it must be to support the
Government and the tax that is sufficient
for that also includes incidental protec-
ton.
But the tax to prohibit importations Of
necessary articles is tyrrsnical and against
the spirit OF free institutions.
So much for the National part of the
issue between the two parties, Democrats
for low taxes, Republicans for high
taxes.
The local part of it is that the Southern
people had just as well make up their
minds to seek homes elsewhere and give
up their inheritance and the hopes Of
their children as to endure the election
Of Ben. Harrison, the worst South hater
in the country, We have only had a
taste of the scalawag and carpet
Dagger, but we know enough Of
them to understand that our condition
would be worse under new Republican
rule than under the old, FOR the first step
of a Radical administration would be to
grip the Southern States with election
supervisors and Federal judges in a man
ner to make respectable and honorable
life impossible and even existence bear
able only when licensed by AFFECT sub
mission to Malone and such.
We implore the people to bear these
things in mind, for the question is a
burning one when we take hold Of ii,
and there is just time enough before the
election to get ready for the most serious
trial we have had The Republicans are
conducting a silent canvass in which
