WE WANT LIGHT NOT POLITICS.

Before any positive opinion can be
fairly expressed on the proposition to
lease the Gas Works to a private com,
pany we must have some faint and glim'
mering hope, though Pickering as the pre-
sent gas lamp, that the present system can
be improved. The city has been ridden
blindfold in the dark by great abuse oil

are not 10 continue in the rut Of old fogy
ideas, TO make an Improvement that will

the city management OF the Gas Works
1t is the very point against which we
direct our criticism.
If there is anything in the world that
a municipality has not the right to do II is
10 hire out privileges and salaries to a
party, and when the plea Is made that
safety demands the standing success Of a
party so acting so much the worse is
the abuse of the franchise. We have
been told that We must endure grea,
many things outside The pale of reason
and common sense and Of justice simply
because tie Democratic party must
be kept in power Now, when it is in
the power of the Democratic party to adj
minister affairs properly, candidates and
office holders had just as well stop claim
ING support for incompetency on any
grounds of safety, We are no longer
under the ihrall of scalawags and
shys,ers, and the people want 10 hear
something more sensible than the old cry
of anything to beat Malone, the devil if
you will, but no Republican.
We advise politicians and officeholders
TO take these words to heart and consider
whether they can impose on the people
any longer with the "wOlf cry"

VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS.

Governor Lee is reported as saying that
the supremacy OF the white race ia Vir-
ginia will decide the election. and that
Cleveland is the unanimous choice OF the
Democrats of the State. We do not
know how the New York reporter filed
out that interview, as it does not appcn
likely that consistent estimate OF what
the Governo has said before justifes at.
tribu;ing such views 10 him now.
We believe that Virginia would 90 for
Cleveland by about 5000 majority if a
good canvass was made by the Demc-
Gratis, but it extremely doubtful il there
will be any color line in our politics
again as was induced by the autics Of
Malone in 1888.
AS TO the protection part OF the inter
view, if Governor Lee said what is al.
trbuted TO him, he ought TO have modified
his remarks so far as TO say that the mass
of the Democratic vote comes from agri-
cultural districts where the people do not
believe in the fantastic idea of protecting
about one twentieth Of the people by
making the other nineteen twenlieths pay
twice as much as they should for the
necessary articles Of everyday life.
Virginia is Democratic State by about
10000 majority if the politicians had the
sense and courage TO put the parity O
true Democratic PRINCIPLES instead of
dancing on tight rope between the two
parties, balanced with striped Malone
pole, and crying ont that this is Democ-
racy. The result of such "monkeying"
is that the great Democratic State of Vir-
ginis has three out of ten congressional
representatives all because the party can
not get the strongest and most patriotic
Democrats to join in the tight-rope per-
Torrance, and the falling off will con-
tinue until the Democratic party posts il
self on Democratic principles the first
of which in the present case is 10 de-
mand that the Government shall not take
any part of the citizens property except
to support the Government; TO tax the
people TO protect monopoly, or little
minority of laborers if you insist on the
false plea of protecting labor, is outrage
Gus tyranny, usurpation and violation Of
the Constitution.
This is why we urge the press and the
politicians and the people to tell the peO-
pie the true principles instead OF
coquetting with Mahone's mongrel
politics that caused the Republicans TO be
beaten The Democratic majority has
been dwindling for years because the
party has no principles. We do not need
color line OF protection, but true Demo
cracy.
